Su Changyu was indeed a little confused.
During this period of time, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji would ask his parents about anything.
He did not know why the two of them were so curious.
However, Su Changyu eventually sighed.
"I don't know where my parents are."
Su Changyu answered.
Although he didn't know why they kept asking such questions, it wasn't a big deal, and he could easily find out.
"I wonder where your parents are? What is the meaning of this? "
Taishang Xuanji couldn't help but continue to ask. He knew that it was something that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to ask, so he asked on his behalf.
Su Changyu did not answer directly and instead looked into the distance at the bottom of the cliff.
Su Changyu looked at Daoist Tai Hua who was still directing the craftsmen.
"Everyone in our sect is an orphan. We don't know who our parents are."
"Master said that a few decades ago, there were two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Azure Province who fought and destroyed many mountains, causing a great disaster in the Azure Province. Many orphans appeared."
"We were lucky to be saved by Master. Although our days are ordinary, at least we have food and water."
For some reason, Su Changyu said a few more words, which was rare.
Perhaps it was the mention of his parents that he had never met, or perhaps it was an indescribable emotion.
As soon as he said that, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had a strange expression in his eyes while Taishang Xuanji was at a loss for words.
Su Changyu's appearance was very similar to that of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty when he was young. Now that he was an orphan, the Great Xia Dynasty produced a great Confucian.
It was hard to deny that Su Changyu was not the Tenth Prince.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke up.
"Do you miss your parents?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked cautiously.
There was even a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"We've never seen each other, so how can we miss each other?"
However, Su Changyu's tone was even calmer.
Have you ever missed your parents?
Su Changyu had thought about it, but to be precise, he didn't miss his parents. Instead, he thought about what kind of people his parents were.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was at a loss for words.
That's right, I haven't seen her before, so how can I miss her?
She had never seen her biological parents, so why would she miss them?
"Then, who do you think your parents are?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked.
Who was it?
Su Changyu frowned and found the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to be a little strange. However, in the end, Su Changyu still answered.
After all, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had bought him so many clothes. If he didn't answer, what if he didn't buy them next time?
"To be able to give birth to a genius like me, my father must be a one in a million existence."
Su Changyu said seriously.
As soon as he said that, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's eyes were filled with pride. However, before he could continue to speak, Su Changyu spoke up.
"But Sherlie, your son should be very ordinary."
Su Changyu was very straightforward and his words made the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty fall silent.
Pu.
Taishang Xuanji, who was at the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter, but he soon regained his composure. However, Su Changyu saw it too.
"Old Xuan, don't laugh. Looking at you, I don't think your daughter is very pretty."
"I know what the two of you are thinking. You want to marry your daughter to me."
"However, Old Xia, Old Xuan, I'll befriend you two."
"But don't bring this up again. I, Su, am not interested in women."
Su Changyu said seriously. Although he didn't understand why the two of them kept asking about his parents, he thought about what they had said before.
Su Changyu subconsciously thought that the two of them really wanted to introduce a Dao companion to him.
Unfortunately, he was not interested in women.
After hearing Su Changyu's words, Taishang Xuanji couldn't laugh anymore.
He was a little depressed. If not for the fact that Su Changyu was suspected to be the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he would have definitely argued with Su Changyu.
'What do you mean by my daughter is definitely not good-looking? '
'Do you know what it means to make the birds and the fishes drown? ' 'Do you know what it means to put the moon and the flowers to shame? '
'Is the Tenth Prince impressive? ' 'Can the Tenth Prince slander me? '
Taishang Xuanji gritted his teeth but he still put on a smile.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty didn\'t blame the ignorant. Besides, even if it was Su Changyu, he wouldn\'t blame Su Changyu no matter what.
"Do you hate your parents for abandoning you then?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked abruptly and anxiously. Even Taishang Xuanji felt that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was a little anxious, let alone Su Changyu.
Faced with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's question, Su Changyu frowned even more.
He didn't understand what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to express or say.
Even if it was for the sake of his daughter, there was no need for him to ask in such detail, right?
Looking at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Su Changyu's gaze became a little contemplative. All of a sudden, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty somehow got nervous.
Taishang Xuanji remained silent. He knew that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was completely flustered. Otherwise, as the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, how could he be flustered?
However, Taishang Xuanji also knew that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty cared a lot about the Tenth Prince.
It was not only because the Tenth Prince was born extraordinary, but most importantly, the Tenth Prince's mother was also the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's favorite concubine.
After she gave birth to the Tenth Prince, she died mysteriously. Rumor had it that it was because she had contracted a strange disease that would cause her to die after giving birth to a child. Even if the gods came, they wouldn't be able to return.
Hence, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty doted on the Tenth Prince. If the Tenth Prince hadn't disappeared mysteriously, the position of Crown Prince would definitely not have been given to Xia Qian.
That was also the reason that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was flustered.
When facing Su Changyu, he was extremely flustered and that was why he repeatedly made mistakes that he shouldn't have.
However, he was the emperor and that was not important. Hence, Taishang Xuanji didn't have much to say. However, he also understood something.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was human and not as heartless as he thought.
Faced with the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's question, Su Changyu chose to answer.
He was very calm as he stared at the Qingyun Dao Sect.
"I do!"
He said calmly.
However, as soon as he said that, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He wanted to explain something, but he knew that he couldn't.
However, Su Changyu soon shook his head.
"I do, but I don't hate my parents. I only hate the heavenly will."
"The calamity of Qingzhou is not something that my parents can stop. Perhaps they have already passed away in that disaster."
"I know, they definitely don't want that to happen. My master said that no parents in this world will abandon their children unless they have no other choice."
Su Changyu said seriously.
His answer made the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty sniffle, but he was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and he couldn't cry.
"Do you miss your parents then?"
"Or rather, if your father appears in front of you one day, will you accept him?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to ask.
However, that question was even more personal. Su Changyu shook his head, clearly not wanting to continue talking about that topic.
He seemed very casual.
"Forget it, if they're still in the mortal world."
"I hope they can live a better life. It would be best if they have another child and don't worry about me. I don't have to worry about them either."
"The Qingyun Dao Sect is my home. Although I don't have a biological father, the Sect Leader is better than my father."
"Old Xia, Old Xuan, don't ask such questions in the future. I'm going to repeat for the last time that I'm not interested in women."
Su Changyu said with a serious expression.
Immediately afterwards, he sent the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji into the guest room.
After Daoist Tai Hua's efforts, the guest room was indeed much more luxurious.
"Old Xia, Old Xuan, you guys stay here."
"If you need anything, just let me know."
"I still have something to do, I'll take my leave first."
Although Su Changyu said a few more words, each sentence was extremely short and he had the demeanor of an expert.
He planned to leave directly after settling down the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and Taishang Xuanji.
After walking for such a long time, it was indeed time for him to rest for a while. At the same time, he also had to formulate some hellish training for Ye Ping.
Hence, he had to go back early.
"Okay, you've been working hard these days, go back and rest."
Taishang Xuanji said. The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty nodded, and the two of them watched Su Changyu leave with smiles on their faces.
After Su Changyu left …
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was still smiling, and after a long while, he finally hid the joy in his heart.
After a while, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke, but he did not look at Taishang Xuanji. Instead, he stared at the bungalow in the distance.
"I didn't expect him to actually live in such a place. It's really aggrieving for him."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had yet to confirm if Su Changyu was his biological son, but he had already regarded Su Changyu as the Tenth Prince who was living among the commoners.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's tone was full of heartache.
Taishang Xuanji spoke up too.
"Yes, Changyu seems to have suffered a lot, but when Heaven bestows a great responsibility on a person, he has to work his muscles and bones first and starve his body. Although Changyu has suffered a lot, he has also grown and is much better than those who have been pampered since childhood."
Taishang Xuanji said.
"Do you mean to say that my princes and princesses are all pampered and spoiled since childhood?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked in an extremely calm tone.
"Your Majesty, you've misunderstood."
Taishang Xuanji was stunned and thought, 'There's nothing wrong with what he said. How can he cause trouble for me?'
However, Taishang Xuanji soon understood what was going on. Clearly, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had remembered that he had secretly laughed at him just now.
Taishang Xuanji was a little depressed. Indeed, being in the emperor's company was akin to being with a tiger.
"Misunderstanding? So it's not your son. If your son ate so badly, lived so badly, and didn't even have a decent set of clothes, wouldn't you be heartbroken? "
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said in displeasure.
Taishang Xuanji was speechless. He couldn't imagine why the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had always been wise, would suddenly become like that.
'Isn't he being a little too protective? '
"I know I was wrong."
Taishang Xuanji lowered his head and answered. He understood that regardless of whether Su Changyu was the Tenth Prince or not, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had already confirmed it. Besides, Taishang Xuanji also understood something.
Perhaps, it was to make up for the Imperial Concubine, the Tenth Prince, or the guilt in his heart.
Regardless of whether Su Changyu was the Tenth Prince or not, his status would not be affected in the slightest.
If Su Changyu was really the Tenth Prince, the Crown Prince would probably be replaced.
If Su Changyu was not the Tenth Prince, the Crown Prince would probably not be as favored as Su Changyu.
In short, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would give all of his favor to Su Changyu.
Taishang Xuanji was very clear about that.
"After we go back this time, let your son go to the border and suffer a little. It's not a bad thing."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said calmly.
After he said that, Taishang Xuanji had nothing else to say. After all, the emperor's orders could not be disobeyed.
Furthermore, he had indeed done something wrong before, so this punishment wasn't a big deal.
Anyway, he was not the one suffering. If his son could really suffer a little, it would be a good thing. At least, it was better than suffering a loss.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Taishang Xuanji accepted the decree. However, after a while, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke again.
"Xuanji, what do you think will happen if I reunite with him directly?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty suddenly said.
In fact, he could feel that Su Changyu was his Tenth Prince.
The reason why he did not use the ancient blood test was actually because he had other plans.
"Your Majesty, this … you can't do that."
Taishang Xuanji hurriedly spoke up to stop the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty from having that idea.
If the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty acknowledged Su Changyu, it would be a shocking blow to the entire imperial court.
"Why not?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked with a calm gaze.
"Your Majesty, there are three things I can't do."
Taishang Xuanji took a deep breath and then said slowly.
"What about the three things?"
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's gaze was cold. He wanted to reunite with his own flesh and blood, but there were actually three things he couldn't do. It was naturally impossible for him to not be furious.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me."
"First, you can't. Now that the court is stable, the Crown Prince is diligent and hardworking, and fifty percent of the officials in the court approve of the Crown Prince. If you recognize the Tenth Prince, there may be some unnecessary trouble. Moreover, the Crown Prince is your flesh and blood, and the Tenth Prince is also your flesh and blood. You don't want to see brothers kill each other, do you?"
Taishang Xuanji knelt on the ground and said, "No."
"Brothers fighting each other? Would he dare to do that with me around? "
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty's response was extremely cold and ruthless.
Taishang Xuanji remained silent and did not answer the question because he didn't even need to. The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty knew very well about it.
Since ancient times, there were not many cases of brothers killing each other for the throne, but they were definitely not rare either.
After all, the old emperor was around.
In the fantasy world, the change of the throne was the law of heaven and earth. Any emperor, be it a small nation or a dynasty, could only reign for 200 years.
Once it exceeded 200 years, there would be endless natural disasters.
In fact, the best time would be within 100 to 150 years.
Within a hundred years, the weather would basically be good and there would be no natural disasters. However, after a hundred years, there would more or less be some disasters.
If it exceeded 200 years, there would be a terrifying natural disaster.
That was also the reason that there had to be a change of ownership every 200 years.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had been on the throne for 125 years.
If the dynasty was still in a prosperous state, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would continue to rule for 74 years.
However, since the disappearance of the Tenth Prince more than 20 years ago, the Great Xia Dynasty's fortune had declined, so the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not intend to continue to be in power.
He planned to abdicate within 20 years.
After all, the abdication of the old emperor and the ascension of the new emperor might bring great benefits to the Great Xia Dynasty and enhance the fortune of the nation.
Hence, at this juncture, the Crown Prince was at the top of the Great Xia Dynasty while the other princes were also doing their best to make contributions.
They were fighting for the throne.
However, it was difficult for them to fight with the Crown Prince. Hence, although they had continuously made contributions, they did not do anything particularly overboard.
Besides, the old emperor was around, so the new emperor couldn't possibly fight against each other.
However, Su Changyu was different.
He was the Tenth Prince. Even now, there were still many people in the Great Xia Dynasty who believed in the legend of the Tenth Prince.
They believed that the Tenth Prince was the future master of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Once Su Changyu was really the Tenth Prince and entered the palace, many people would take the initiative to side with the Tenth Prince and support him to ascend the throne.
How could the Crown Prince tolerate such a situation?
By then, it might not be as simple as brothers fighting against each other.
Think about it, if it were anyone else who was about to ascend the throne, they would have worked hard for 30 years, put in countless effort, and suffered unbearable hardships.
In the end, they were just one step away from being easily taken away by others.
Who would be able to accept that?
Besides, they were not brothers that they had grown up with, but brothers that they had only met a few times.
In such a situation, who would be able to remain rational?
Those were Taishang Xuanji's concerns, but he also believed that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was well aware of it. He just didn't want to accept it.
Who would be willing to accept the idea of his sons killing each other?
"Continue."
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, this official's second point is that if the Tenth Prince is as the prophecy said, then it is even more impossible for us to acknowledge each other. The Tenth Prince is a blessing to Great Xia, and logically speaking, he should keep a low profile. Right now, Great Xia's luck is gradually declining."
"If the Tenth Prince can really help the Great Xia Dynasty increase its national luck, then we must not acknowledge him. Once we do, how could the other dynasties sit back and do nothing?"
Taishang Xuanji continued.
This was his second choice.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty could accept that.
After all, all five dynasties knew about that prophecy.
After the disappearance of the Tenth Prince, the other four dynasties also began to search for him. After all, they naturally did not wish for the Great Xia Dynasty to prosper.
Therefore, if he were to admit the truth, it would indeed attract unnecessary trouble.
To Su Changyu, there was an additional crisis for no reason.
"What else?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked.
"Your Majesty, there are three things that you mustn't do. If you do it too abruptly, it might cause the other party to be unable to accept it for the time being. It might even destroy this relationship."
"After all, it is too sudden. It is better to let nature take its course and let time handle it."
Taishang Xuanji said.
As Taishang Xuanji's voice fell …
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was completely speechless.
He understood that Taishang Xuanji was right.
Logically speaking, he couldn't reunite with his biological son.
However, he was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and he had to do what he couldn't.
However, what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty cared about the most was not the battle for the title of the Crown Prince, nor was he afraid that the other four dynasties would attack Su Changyu.
He could swear that if the other four dynasties dared to touch Su Changyu, he wouldn't mind killing all the princes and princesses of the four dynasties.
Even if it was a declaration of war, he wouldn't care.
However, what he really cared about was whether Su Changyu would accept him as his father.
It was whether Su Changyu was willing to accept him as his father.
That was the only thing he was worried about.
From what Su Changyu said just now, he could tell that Su Changyu didn't seem to care about his biological father. In fact, he even vaguely felt that he hoped that his biological father would not come looking for him.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty dared not confirm it.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Xuanji, pass the order to get the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion to make a few more sets of clothes."
"No, don't get the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion to do it. Just get everyone in the Shangyi Palace to make dozens of sets of Sword Immortal robes and send them to Changyu."
"Remember, they have to match Changyu's temperament. Make them according to the scale of the Crown Prince, no, according to me. There must be no mistakes, understand?"
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said.
"Yes!"
Taishang Xuanji's heart was completely at ease. As for the production of clothes, it was no longer a big deal.
Just like that.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
On the cliff of Qingyun Mountain, a familiar figure appeared on the front cliff.
It was Su Changyu.
He stood quietly on the front cliff, thinking about some things.
It was about his father.
Perhaps Old Xia had mentioned it.
Now that it was late at night, Su Changyu couldn't help but think about a question.
'If my biological father really comes to look for me, what should I do? '
'Should I accept him? '
Su Changyu did not dwell on that question.
After all, it was his biological father and he could accept it.
However, he would still be in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
However, the next question soon made Su Changyu feel conflicted.
'If my father is rich and comes to look for me with all kinds of clothes from the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion … '
'What should I do? '
Su Changyu thought about it for more than two hours, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Right at this moment, Chen Lingrou's voice suddenly resounded.
"Eldest Senior Brother, they're here."
A voice rang out, and a few silhouettes appeared on the front cliff.
