Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

at night.

Su Heting finally got the chance to be alone with Qiao Xi.

But whether it was because he was homesick or for some other reason, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After the excitement subsided, he didn't know what identity he should use to talk to Qiao Xi.

It was Qiao Xi who stared at his face and spoke first, "Was this injured by the barbarians?"

Su Heting touched the scar on his face, removed all disguises in front of Qiao Xi, returned to his identity as the crown prince, and habitually called himself, "This palace..."

But he soon realized that he was no longer the prince, so he changed his words and said, "He was already there when I came here. He injured himself."

He was referring to the original owner of this body.

"Why?"

Qiao Xi asked.

Su Heting recalled, "When he was about ten years old, he followed his grandfather out of the mountains. Because of his good looks and feminine features, he was targeted by some people with bad intentions.

He grew up in the mountains and had no idea how treacherous people could be. One day, he was drugged and sold to that kind of place.

Although he escaped in time, he also suffered a lot. In addition, he had to work to make a living. Scratching his face could save him a lot of trouble.

Qiao Xi sighed, "He's also a pitiful person."

Su Heting agreed, "It's really not easy for him."

He has no father or mother and is poisoned. He was finally picked up by someone, but the person he found was crazy. Not only could the person not take care of him, but he had to take care of the person instead. Fortunately, although his grandfather was crazy, he knew how to teach him martial arts, so that he had something to rely on.

Qiao Xi asked again, "Does he know his origins?"

Su Heting, "I won't know until I die."

But in the original owner's memory, he was eager to know his life experience and to see his family.

But there was no clue about the original owner. After he attached himself to this body, he was immersed in his own affairs at first, and then he couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he organized an uprising army to resist the barbarians. He never had time to check the original owner's life experience.

In fact, there is no way to check.

Su Heting thought of something and asked Qiao Xi, "Take a closer look at this face. Does it resemble my past?"

Qiao Xi blurted out, "Eyes."

When Su Heting forced her to marry him, she discovered that their eyes were similar, and she mistakenly thought Su Heting was the prince.

"I feel the same way."

Su Heting said in a deep voice, "But my eyes are like my mother's."

When he discovered this after he came back to life, he thought it was just a coincidence. But now that he knew about Zi Xidu's death, he realized that things were not that simple.

"My maternal grandfather's family only has two uncles. They are both very loving with my aunt and have no concubines. It is unlikely that they have illegitimate children.

I've never heard of any child dying or being lost in my maternal grandparents' family before, so I can rule out the possibility that he's their child for now."

"Could it be that the original owner was also the Queen's child?"

Qiao Xi was stunned.

It would not be possible to make such a guess based on the similarity of their eyes, but the Zixi poison was only found in the palace, so Qiao Xi naturally thought of the queen.

But the Empress Dowager lives in the harem and is the mother of the country. Even if she were to give birth, it would be the Emperor's child. That child would be the legitimate son and grandson of the Dayou Dynasty. How could she be exiled to the mountains?

Then, she thought of what Madam Liu had said. "I heard that the feud between the Emperor and Empress began after the Second Prince's untimely death. Do you know anything about the Second Prince's affairs?"

“When my mother gave birth to my second brother, I was only three years old and don’t have many memories.

Afterwards, the Emperor, citing the excuse of not wanting to upset his mother, issued a gag order regarding my second brother's affairs. No one in the palace mentioned them again. All I know is that my second brother was stillborn."

Su Heting's eyes darkened. "Do you suspect that the original owner is my biological brother, the second prince of Dayou?"

Qiao Xi nodded uncertainly.

Assuming that the original owner is also the queen's child, then this is the only possibility.

Otherwise, how could a queen of a country, under the emperor's nose, be pregnant for ten months and give birth to another child without telling the world?

In addition, when she first met Su Heting in the blacksmith shop, she felt that he had an extraordinary aura, even though his soul was already that of the prince at that time.

But some people are born with a face that indicates wealth, and Su Heting's face is like that.

Su Heting understood her thoughts. "When my grandfather found the original owner, he guessed he was six years old by touching his bones. Now he's twenty-two, so the age does match."

If this is true, I'm afraid it was the emperor who threw the original owner into the mountains.

"The emperor suspects that I am not his child."

Therefore, he could be cruel to him.

Then it is not impossible to throw the newborn second brother into the mountains.

Qiao Xi was surprised and almost thought, "This is impossible, you two look so similar."

“That’s the doubt.”

Su Heting's eyes darkened. "I am the prince appointed by the late emperor himself. If I were not of the emperor's bloodline, how could the late emperor appoint me as the crown prince?

But I don't think the emperor is lying. His expression that day really showed that he believed that I was not his son.

That's why he asked Liang Shi to return to Beijing this time to investigate his mother's past affairs.

Qiao Xi frowned.

Doubting the prince's background means suspecting the queen's infidelity. Qiao Xi thought of the queen's substitutes in the cold palace.

No wonder the emperor abused those substitutes. He was taking out his hatred for the queen on those substitutes.

But in Qiao Xi's impression, the queen, although pure, is dignified, upright and virtuous. Would she do anything to let the emperor down?

"will not."

Su Heting saw through her thoughts at a glance and said solemnly, "She is not that kind of person."

Qiao Xi agreed, "The problem lies with the emperor. Perhaps once we get to Ji Chuan, we can pry something out of him."

Su Heting nodded and fell silent.

Qiao Xi knew that although the Queen was cold towards the Prince, the Prince valued the Queen very much in his heart. When it came to the Queen's innocence, she stopped talking nonsense.

The air suddenly became quiet, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

The Crown Prince was once the person she was most familiar with, but they had not seen each other for five years. Although they were married, she did not know his identity before. Now was their true reunion.

She had a lot to say and a lot of emotions, but in the end, they all boiled down to one sentence: "Still getting a divorce?"

This sentence completely pulled Su Heting back from the prince's attention. He immediately said viciously, "Don't mention those two words."

The domineering Su Heting is back again.

Qiao Xi smiled, "You brought it up yourself."

Su Heting rushed to her side and buried his face in her neck. "I was a jerk and said the wrong thing back then. It doesn't count. It can't count."

Qiao Xi widened her eyes.

Can you still cheat like this?

Is this still the gentle and dignified prince brother she used to have?

I wanted to make him angry because he had unilaterally decided on the nine-month period.

Qiao Xi insisted, "A gentleman's word is as good as gold. A man should never regret what he has said."

Su Heting himself felt ashamed, but if he wanted a wife, he couldn't have dignity.

He covered Qiao Xi's mouth and said seriously, "I am a wild child, without parents to teach me, I can't be a gentleman, and I don't want to be a gentleman.

I never said this, so forget it. Never mention it again in this life, the next, or the next. We will live and die together, and there will be no separation. Do you understand?"

My grandfather once said that face is the most useless thing in front of your daughter-in-law.

Of course, that was what his grandfather said when he was looking for wives among various birds and beasts for the original owner. Su Heting now felt that it made a lot of sense.

Qiao Xi looked at him quietly without reacting.

Su Heting threatened again, "Did you hear me?"

Qiao Xi still didn't respond.

Su Heting thought he had hurt her, so he quickly let go of her hand and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Then I heard Qiao Xi say, "Do you want to kiss me?"
