The Duke of Huainan insisted on seeing the Shi Sheng. Ling Yi couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she sent someone to the palace to ask the Shi Sheng. Finally, she got the order to let the Duke of Huainan enter the palace.
King Yu was directly locked up in the dungeon. From the beginning to the end, she still didn't understand how things developed like this.
The Duke of Huainan was taken to the imperial study.
The Shi Sheng was casually sitting on the dragon throne eating melon seeds. The dragon table in front of him was littered with all kinds of memorials. If a minister came in and saw this, he would be so angry that he would have a heart attack.
Have you ever seen an emperor like this?!
Which emperor's table was so messy?
Ling Yi skillfully tidied up the memorials, leaving a place for the Shi Sheng to slap the table.
The Duke of Huainan kept his head down. "This sinner greets Your Majesty."
The Shi Sheng looked at the Duke of Huainan a few times. In his heart, he quickly compared the information he knew with the person in front of him.
He was almost fifty years old, and there were a few strands of white hair around his ears. But from the looks of his figure, he was still old and strong.
"What do you want to see me for? I'm very busy. Hurry up and say it." The Shi Sheng continued to eat melon seeds. The whole imperial study was filled with the sound of cracking. In such an environment, it made people's scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty, this sinner wants to talk to you alone."
"Drag him out." The Shi Sheng ordered without changing his expression.
Every time the protagonist talked to someone alone, he would be plotted against. This baby is not stupid. Don't even think about talking alone.
There are always idiots who want to harm this baby. I'm afraid.
The imperial guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the Duke of Huainan out. The Duke of Huainan was dumbfounded. "Your Majesty, what this minister wants to say is very important. It is not appropriate for too many people to know. If you are not at ease, you can leave the people you trust. "
The Shi Sheng watched the Duke of Huainan being dragged away. When he reached the door, the Duke of Huainan grabbed the door regardless of his image. "Your Majesty, this minister said, this minister said …"
The Shi Sheng waved his hand and asked them to drag the person back.
When the Duke of Huainan returned to the center of the hall, her heart was still in a mess. She quietly raised her head to look at the Empress sitting on the dragon throne. She didn't look dignified at all, but she didn't feel anything wrong. She seemed to be born with a kind of king's aura.
In the past, those who sat on the dragon throne were all incomparably dignified and dignified. Their backs were straight, and none of the empresses were as casual as she was.
He remembered that the last time he saw her was when she was still a few years old. She was such a cute little girl back then. How did she become …
The Duke of Huainan took a deep breath. "Your Majesty, do you know why the First Princess was the most popular, but in the end, it was you who ascended the throne?"
"I know. Is there still a need for you to say anything?" These people were just spouting nonsense.
The corner of the Duke of Huainan's mouth twitched, and then his face became solemn. "I was going to tell you this in the end, but I didn't expect it to be so early."
When Ling Yi heard that they were going to talk about some secret news, he hurriedly withdrew some people out, leaving only his trusted aides in the hall.
The Shi Sheng took out a handful of melon seeds and began to listen to the story again.
"Because the late Empress was the First Princess, she was given the title of Crown Princess when she was very young. At that time, one person from each family was chosen and sent into the palace to be chosen by the late Empress as her study companion. I was sent into the palace at that time. At that time, I was inconspicuous, but I didn't expect the late Empress would choose me. "
"When this news came out, most of the family members were very happy, because this meant that I would be the favorite person of the future Empress. When one person achieves the Dao, all the chickens and dogs will follow, and the family will go to a higher level. But there were also some people who were not happy, such as my father, because … I am not a girl. "
Ling Yi's eyes widened. His face that was always serious, at this time, showed a very shocked expression.
The Duke of Huainan was not a girl!??
The Shi Sheng was calm and continued to eat melon seeds.
Seeing that the Shi Sheng was so calm, Ling Yi did not continue to lose his composure, and tried to suppress the shock on his face.
The Duke of Huainan saw that the Shi Sheng did not show any other emotions, and then continued: "My father, in order to not lose his position in the family, let someone take advantage of the time when my mother was unconscious to bribe the midwife to tell my mother that I was a girl."
"Later, in order to hide the fact that I was a man, my father did a lot of things, and finally let me live as a woman. Until I was chosen as the late Empress's study companion, but the imperial edict had already been sent down. My father had no choice but to send me into the palace. He told me that I must not expose my identity. Once I was found out, it would be the crime of deceiving the Emperor, and it would be serious enough to implicate my whole family. "
"At first, it was not bad in the palace, no one found anything wrong with me. Once, the late Empress sneaked out of the palace to play and encountered an assassin. The late Empress and I were forced into a cave by the assassin. The late Empress was injured and had a high fever … "The Duke of Huainan paused, skipping the details," It was there. The late Empress knew that I was a man, and I thought I was going to die. The crime of deceiving the Emperor is very serious. "
"But the late Empress did not pursue me, but helped me to hide it. Probably because we kept the same secret, and went through life and death together on the battlefield, the two of us unconsciously developed feelings for each other. The late Empress promised me that when she took over the throne, she would give me a new identity, and welcome me into the palace to be conferred the title of Empress. "
The Duke of Huainan's expression was slightly bitter, "Unfortunately, too many things happened later, and I did not wait for the day when the late Empress fulfilled her promise."
As the Empress, there were too many things that were not up to her. After the late Empress ascended the throne, the court officials had to appease and win her over. The number of people in her harem increased exponentially, and she had to take care of those people.
The Duke of Huainan was a minister. Even if he knew that the person he liked was having sex with another man, he could only endure it.
He knew that the late Empress had no choice, and he could not blame her because she was the Empress. She could not be willful. She shouldered the country and the country, and the peace of the country.
Every time they met, they could only meet in the court. Occasionally, the late Empress would ask him to stay for business. She would hug him and say that she was very tired and wanted to leave this huge cage and fly away with him.
But they both knew that it was impossible.
The responsibility had already fallen on their shoulders, and they could not shirk it.
After the war, the late Empress was already the Empress, and it was impossible for her to go to war with him. The Duke of Huainan could only lead the army to the border.
When he came back victorious, it was the Empress's wedding to welcome him.
The position of the Empress promised to him, was given to someone else.
The position that was promised to him, was given to someone else.
The Duke of Huainan had to smile and congratulate her, congratulating her for being conferred the title of Empress.
"So you plan to rebel?" Was this hatred born from love?
The Duke of Huainan shook his head. "From the beginning to the end, I did not plan to rebel …" He looked up at the Shi Sheng. "Because you are my daughter. How could I rebel against my own daughter?"
Huh?
Wait a minute!
This plot development is a bit wrong!!!
