The Eighth Prince sighed and was about to speak when Zhao Zhen suddenly asked, "Uncle Emperor, can't it be my father's romantic history?"

The Eighth Prince was stunned for a moment, then raised his face and said, "Talking nonsense, your father is not such a person!"

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay, otherwise I can't stand it if a sister suddenly appears. (This chapter is uploaded by netizens on the Internet)"

Zhao Pu also hugged his arms, "It's not that."

The Eight King couldn't help but pat his head, "Why do you miss your prince, you're so ruthless!"

Zhao Pu scratched his head.

"This matter has nothing to do with the previous emperor." Bao Zheng said, "it has nothing to do with Taizu and Taizong."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other - the matter of the royal family of the Song Dynasty was astonished as soon as they were involved, they would be in chaos.

"Oh, the grievances of the ancestors are not easy to pursue." The Eight King waved his hand, "But the grievances of the ancestors have caused trouble to the previous emperor, that is, my emperor brother Yuan Xiu."

Zhao Zhen spread his hands - it was still his father's business.

"It's not a change of love, is it a matter of fighting for the throne?" Zhao Pu asked.

"Zelan, how much impression do you have of your royal brother?" The Eighth Prince asked Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu touched his chin and thought about it. The former emperor Zhao Heng was not the same father and mother as him. He was his uncle's son. Everyone was not very familiar with him. However, he remembered that Zhao Heng had a gentle temper, somewhat similar to Zhao Zhen, and was even more comfortable and fearful. If he was impressed, it was Prime Minister Kou Zhun who forced Zhao Heng to march in person back then, so that he could remember it more firmly.

"It's very kind." Zhao Pu couldn't describe it, so he had to say something.

The Eight King nodded, "In theory, Zhao Heng is not the eldest son or the legitimate son. Do you know why he inherited the throne?"

"Oh, I've heard of this!" Gongsun Shu read a lot, "It was said that Taizong was superstitious about physiognomy and invited famous sorcerers to see the picture. It happened that day that several other princes were there, but the last emperor did not come when he was sick, and only a few servants came. After the sorcerer read it, he said that the princes were not as good as the last emperor. Just look at the faces of the last emperor and the last emperor, he would be the emperor in the future, so he won the throne?"

After Gongsun finished speaking, everyone nodded - there were indeed such rumors. Although they thought it was a bit rash and funny to establish the prince like this, the result was also unsatisfactory. After all, the rumors were rumors and could not be done accurately.

After Gongsun finished speaking, he heard Zhao Pu say "puff".

Everyone looked at him.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Is the rumors false?"

Zhao Pu touched his nose, "Actually, the emperor has seven sons in total, so we will ignore the ones below. There were only three people who were able to compete for the throne back then, including the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo, the second son Zhao Yuanxi, and the first emperor Zhao Yuanxiu. Yuanxiu was his real name and later changed to Zhao Heng."

Everyone nodded, and then what? What does it have to do with the Peach Blossom Queen, the Min Zhaoguo and the Incest Flower?

"The reason why Yuan Xiu can be the emperor." The Eight King sighed, "It's because the boss is crazy and the second brother dies suddenly."

...

"Is there such a thing?" Everyone was surprised.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang frowned and didn't say anything, wondering why Tianzun always encountered such a thing.

"And the reason why he will die of madness is to start with the previous generation." The Eight King took a sip of tea, as if he was about to make a long discussion.

Zhao Zhen held his chin and lay on the desk, listening, "Uncle Emperor, is this complicated?"

"Actually, it doesn't count." The Eight King said, "Taizu deposed his emperor brother back then. Do you know who it is?"

Zhan Zhao yawned. He didn't care about such things at all, and Bai Yutang didn't know it either.

Gongsun held a tea cup and drank tea to listen to the royal secrets.

Zhao Zhen tilted his head and took out the little turtle he raised from the glass bottle on the desk and put it on the table, teasing, "Is it the fourth prince Zhao Tingmei?"

"That's right." The Eight King nodded with satisfaction, "Taizong falsely accused Zhao Tingmei and Lu Duosun of joining forces, secretly entangled in his attempt to rebel, and convicted him of exile."

Seeing that Bai Yutang was depressed, Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at him - and said it was a false accusation!

Bai Yutang smiled helplessly - Zhao Guangyi used all the tricks to seek the throne and the people of the Song Dynasty knew about this.

"Crown Prince Zhao Yuanzuo and his uncle Zhao Tingmei have a deep relationship." The Eight Kings sighed helplessly, "After Zhao Tingmei was sent to exile, he kept pleading with Taizong. However, strangely, Zhao Tingmei was young and died suddenly not long after leaving Kaifeng."

Zhao Pu touched his chin, "It seems that there is a legend that he was killed, but it turned out that he was dead on the way to exile."

"How old?" Gongsun asked.

"Under forty years old."

"That's true that he died strangely. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he had a sudden illness if he was not accustomed to the local environment." Gongsun touched his chin.

"Is my nephew crazy when my uncle dies?" Zhan Zhao asked, "It's a little strange."

"There are other reasons why Yuan Zuo is crazy, because he is competing for favor." The Eight King shook his head, "Taizong loved his second son Zhao Yuanxi too much and did not pay attention to his other sons. In fact, it is understandable that Zhao Yuanxi was tall and mighty, and very smart. He did have the appearance of an emperor. Unfortunately, when he was twenty-seven years old, he suddenly said that his heart hurts when he was in court. He invited the imperial physician to take his pulse and died."

"Heart hurts?" Gongsun frowned, "Is he born with innate deficiencies?"

"Of course not." The Eight King shook his head, "I'm in great health!"

"It's strange that he died. Did he eat something randomly or get poisoned?" Gongsun, as a doctor, always felt that these princes and grandchildren had a hard time, and he was just careful.

"The problem lies with his wife." Eight kings' tone seemed to be getting to the point.

"Yuan Xi is young, promising and favored. She lives a happy life and is good at everything, but she just likes a woman who is not suitable."

"Inappropriate?" Zhan Zhao heard someone describe a woman like this for the first time.

"If you marry a wife and ask for a lady, it's the case for ordinary families, let alone the royal family. Zhao Yuanxi is so favored that he can be an emperor in the future. Then isn't his wife the queen? Even if there is no lady, she is a little more ordinary and virtuous. Or just find a talented woman with a unique personality... no matter how bad it is, it's acceptable to find a spoiled and willful lady." The Eighth Prince spread his hands, "But this Mrs. Zhang is a witch!"

"Demon?" Everyone opened their eyes wide - the first time they heard it!

"This Mrs. Zhang has a suspicious origin. Both her parents died. She came to Kaifeng alone from a foreign land to make a living. She played the piano well." The Eight King raised her face and began to recall, "This woman is actually quite interesting. It is said to be unique in charm. In terms of beauty, there are only more beautiful but not the most beautiful in the world. In terms of ability, there are only more capable but not the most capable in the world. In theory, Zhao Yuanxi has seen more women, and what kind of beauty has never seen? She was fascinated by Mrs. Zhang."

Zhao Pu frowned, "She may have been born in poverty, but why do you say she is a witch?"

"Zhao Yuanxi is a typical type who doesn't love beauty and loves the country. She is diligent and ambitious, and has never been addicted to the sense of sensuality. Taizong is very relieved of him and he has never made any mistakes. But since he fell in love with beauty Zhang and took her back to the house, Yuanxi has changed and became confused, sometimes absent-minded, and his performance has become poor."

"Are you a young man after all?" Zhao Zhen held his cheek, "It's understandable that he would lose his ambition occasionally."

"But someone told Taizong that Mrs. Zhang was a witch. She often bought some yellow paper and fragrant wax, and raised some poisonous insects and snakes in her yard. Her family even worshipped evil Buddhas. In addition... She planted Yuanxi's mansion with peach blossoms. I don't know what method she used to make those peach blossoms extremely enchanting."

"Peach Blossom?" Everyone heard the same news related to this case. Of course... just planting peach Blossoms doesn't mean anything.

"The Mrs. Zhang burned incense and worshipped in the yard, chanting curse day and night, but Zhao Yuanxi ignored her and also favored her very much. He originally had beautiful concubines in his family, and many of them were born well, so he was favored. But since Meiren Zhang came, Zhao Yuanxi ignored other women and was just devoted to Meiren Zhang. Moreover, Meiren Zhang was jealous and had a bad temper. Any concubine who disliked her would be ordered to beat her up. Several beauties even died. These beauties had a background in their families, and many marriages were conducive to Zhao Yuanxi's future affairs. It was chosen by Taizong for him. Now that someone was killed, how could they explain to those important officials?" The Eighth Prince shook his head, "The emperor asked Zhao Yuanxi to expel Meiren Zhang from Kaifeng in the court, and Yuanxi actually quarreled with Taizong."

Everyone was surprised - so serious?

"Taizong scolded Zhao Yuanxi in anger. This was something that had never happened before." The Eight Kings were helpless, "The second prince Yuanxi, who was originally surrounded by lust, offended many people because of a woman, and almost made up his future."

"This second emperor uncle is outrageous." Zhao Zhen also sighed.

"The most outrageous thing is not here." The Eight King's face was solemn, "There was one thing that made Taizong angry."

"What's the matter?" Everyone was curious.

"Beauty Zhang actually asked the second prince to open an altar for her during the Qingming Festival to summon her parents who had been dead for many years. It is said that the scene was very strange at that time. She buried her parents' bones under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard, asked the second prince to chant a spell to summon the soul, and also asked him to take a lot of elixirs he had refined. The eunuch around the second prince was so scared that he went to the palace to tell Taizong overnight. Taizong was furious and ordered that Meiren Zhang be arrested, imprisoned, and brought Yuan Xi back to the palace to be confined. At the same time, a fire burned all the peach blossoms in the second prince's mansion!"

Everyone looked at each other - this amazing thing!

"What's next?" Gongsun asked.

"A strange thing happened later." The Eight King said, "The emperor invited the imperial physician, and the most famous sorcerer at that time...the sorcerer who predicted that the late emperor could ascend the throne, went to the palace to treat the second prince. The imperial physician said that the second prince had taken a lot of elixirs that were not good for his health, and prescribed a potion for him, which made the prince vomit for three days and three nights, and finally seemed to have become much clearer in his mind.

After the second prince woke up, he was no longer obsessed with beauty Zhang, so the emperor became even more sure that his son was still his good son, and he was fascinated by the witch and became like this.

After seeing a strange Buddha statue found by the soldier from the Second Prince's Mansion, the sorcerer told the emperor that this beauty Zhang was indeed a demon, good at witchcraft, and the Buddha statue was also a witchcraft statue. From the base of the statue, the sorcerer found a birth date written in blood, which belonged to Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Yuanzuo."

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this.

"It was the beauty Zhang who made the curse that killed Zhao Tingmei and made the prince Zhao Yuanzuo crazy?" Zhao Zhen frowned.

"She probably wanted to ensure that Yuan Xi could ascend the throne as king. She firmly controlled Yuan Xi and also controlled the world." The Eight King smiled faintly, "The warlock said that this kind of spell is called the Peach Blossom Curse, and that Beauty Zhang is likely to be a witch who believes in the Peach Blossom Queen."

Everyone shook their heads helplessly - Zhao Yuanxi really got a great woman back.

"Taizong originally wanted to order her to be burned to death, but Yuan Xi pleaded for mercy."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "Does Zhao Yuanxi really have feelings for that beauty Zhang?"

"Well... Yuan Xi said that if you want to be a couple, you should spare her life." The Eight King continued, "But the crime of death can be avoided from being alive. In order to avoid that Beauty Zhang harming others again, she must be punished."

"What punishment?" Zhan Zhao knew it was not a good thing.

"Destroy your eyes, cut off your tongue, and cut off your hands."

"Ha..." Everyone couldn't help but sniffle.

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "It's better to kill her."

"But before the execution, there were variables." Bao Zheng said, "Miss Zhang was found to be pregnant."

Everyone raised their eyebrows - Yo, this is the Dragon Son and the Emperor.

"Taizong ordered people to imprison her first, and then talk about it after giving birth, but..." The Eight King said, "Yuan Xi insisted on executing her punishment immediately, and said that even if she is pregnant, it would be fine to keep her belly, and it would be useless to have both hands and eyes."

"So cruel?" Bai Yutang said coldly, "Why wouldn't he curse his brother to death? He did it himself?"

Zhao Zhen nodded with his chin, "It's probably true, but why didn't he just burn her to death at the beginning? I didn't know she was pregnant at that time? What's the use of Zhao Yuanxi keeping her life?"

"Didn't it arouse Taizong's suspicion?" Zhao Pu asked.

"Who knows? Anyway, Taizong did not investigate this matter, and according to Yuan Xi's wishes, he will be executed in three days." The Eighth King said this and sighed, "But who knew that in three days, the sky fire suddenly dropped, and a big thunder struck down, just lit the house where Meiren Zhang was imprisoned. The fire was blazing. The guards wanted to go in and save it, but they could not save it. In the fire, Meiren Zhang shouted, "Zhao Yuanxi, you are unfaithful, I will use your intoxicated flower to eliminate the person who robbed the throne with you, but you abandoned it. This country and country are not yours, and you will never think of becoming an emperor in your lifetime. Also, the peach blossom debt you owe me will be paid back one day. I will wait for you in the underworld!"

"She was burned to death?" Zhan Zhao asked.
