For a time, there were countless rumors about the prince in Chang'an. Most people believed that Concubine Ye's natal family was behind the disappearance of the prince, and that the Ye family's sword tomb was responsible for the conspiracy, with the purpose of seizing power.
The three of them became a tiger, and soon, the news about the prince's return and the collapse of the Ye family's sword tomb conspiracy gradually came to light. In all the inns in Chang'an City, the storyteller at Chunlou added vivid descriptions, and it only took one night.
Everyone knows it.
People's hearts are different.
Everyone who returned to the inn was a little confused. Except for Li Chengru, everyone else was shocked and couldn't believe that the person in front of them who spent time with them day and night was actually the prince?
What followed was happiness. For a long time, everyone thought that Xu Qingmu was an orphan without a father or a mother. Now not only had he found his parents, but his parents were also the most important figures in the court. This orphan who had been wronged since childhood finally had a child.
A little warmer.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Now, two men and one woman were kneeling outside the inn, all dressed in rich and embroidered clothes. The three of them were kneeling facing the direction of the inn, with no trace of arrogance in their eyes.
He was the one who teased Xu Qingmu during the day.
Qishang opened the window from the top of the inn and said domineeringly: "My master asked you two, the male bastard, and the female to stay, and you have to personally examine your health."
The two usually arrogant and arrogant dandies felt like they were being pardoned. They kowtowed and ran away without caring about the pleading look in the eyes of the female companion next to them. They were afraid that they would be implicated by this woman if it was too late. They were not gentlemen at all.
The woman knelt slumped on the ground, her face pale and bloodless. On the other hand, the head of the family on the side, instead of showing any anger or shame, was actually a little happy.
It's not a loss for my daughter's reputation to have anything to do with this prince.
After all, a daughter can have another baby!
From morning to night, for a brief period of more than ten hours, human nature seemed to be distorted to the extreme, all because of the foot that stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
One kick makes the difference between heaven and earth!
Qishikami looked at a group of dignitaries who were bowing their heads to the ground. He seemed a little confused and asked, "Master, what is a prince?"
A group of people are trembling and walking on thin ice. Who is this? How dare you speak so wildly?
But the old man called Master reached out and touched Qi Shang's head, and seemed to be a little disdainful:
"Prince...but you are still the boss."
Qishang was confused, but the group of people kneeling on the ground were smiling again.
It is not worth mentioning that a person achieves the Tao, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven.
But that's it.
...
Xu Qingmu looked at everyone with different eyes. Except for the unconcealed excitement in the eyes of King Xu Yan and the masked queen next to him, the rest of them all had a cold look in their eyes. Naturally, they could not escape from the fact that they had grown up in Funiu Town.
Xu Qingmu, who had been treated coldly, noticed. At this moment, Xu Qingmu, who had already stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, felt extremely complicated in his heart.
Prince? Those sitting in the court are your biological parents?
Xu Qingmu thought of the life in Funiu Town over the years, how he and the old yellow dog and cattle depended on each other every New Year's Eve, and how he stood under the window sill and peeked at the warmth of the world... For a moment, he felt angry.
heart.
Why?
He wanted to ask loudly, why on earth had he been left alone in Funiu Town for twelve years?
But now he can't.
The reason why King Xu Yan recognized him at the birthday banquet, and in front of so many people who are the most important among the kings and relatives, must have his purpose. At this moment, this young man who had never called him father put his second foot,
Also stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
In an instant, unknown luck rose from the soles of his feet, shaped like a dragon, and danced around his heart.
Dragon spirit!
Suppressing the shock in her heart, Xu Qingmu knelt on her knees and saluted:
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
King Xu Yan, who had already stood up, with his face reflecting the clouds in the clear pond, shining and charming, praised repeatedly: "Good! Good!"
The same goes for the veiled woman.
Concubine Ye, who was sitting on the right, could not hide her shock in her smile, but it was the prince Xu Pei who spoke first:
"Today is my father's birthday. This is the first joy. My brother's return to the palace is the second joy. Now the joy is even greater. Father, let us have a drink together so that we can help my brother wash away the dust."
After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all. Everyone who reacted echoed, and for a while they were in a happy mood, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
There's nothing wrong with drinking and drinking, and exchanging cups with each other is nothing more than a hidden smile!
After drinking and talking.
Soon, only King Xu Yan, the Queen, and Xu Qingmu, who had just become the crown prince, were left in the Hall of Taihe.
Xu Qingmu looked at the two people in front of him and could no longer suppress his heart:
"Why?!"
King Xu Yan sighed. He had been thinking about this question for a long time. Why did Cao Yuqiu, who was always close to him, cruelly send the newborn prince away? But at that moment, King Xu Yan, who sighed, wanted to reach out and touch that face.
, all kinds of words are spoken only half a sentence:
"Your mother..."
Xu Qingmu retreated and took the opportunity to escape.
King Xu Yan sighed even more.
Before Queen Cao spoke, Xu Qingmu asked again:
"The confrontation with the Sword Emperor Song Zihan on the Immortal Platform, are all the women in the pavilion at the border fortress yours?"
The woman sighed and nodded.
Xu Qingmu retreated again: "Last question, did my master commit suicide?"
The woman gently took off her veil, revealing a very pretty face, but there was a trace of worry between her brows, which made her look slightly tired. Looking at the retreating boy in front of her, the woman gently shook her head.
really!
Sure enough!
The scene where Chen Yehan was in charge of the mountains and rivers on Baizhang Mountain in the backyard of the Chen family, and the old beggar was trampled to pieces by that man was indeed true!
After getting the answer he wanted, Xu Qingmu turned around and left without leaving any trace.
I have endured sixteen years alone, so why not continue to live alone?
Behind me, a female voice whispered, and a male voice sighed.
After watching the young man's back completely disappear from sight, King Xu Yan gently patted Queen Cao in his arms:
"Qiu'er, give him some time..."
"Give us some time..."
...
When Xu Qingmu arrived at the inn, everyone had not yet fallen asleep. Looking at Xu Qingmu who had returned, Qi Shang looked particularly excited. He surrounded Xu Qingmu and said, "Boss, have you become the prince? You don't know, those people who usually look down on us
, they all knelt on the ground and shivered, so happy!"
Smiling and touching Qishang's head, the young man said: "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to read."
Qishang was even more excited. Li Chengru said that only if you learn to write can you be liked by girls. Thinking of the girl who felt so good after being struck with a sword, the simple-minded Qishang raised his eyebrows.
"Go back to the house."
Xu Qingmu said to Li Chengru and called Zuo Qiuliang who was teasing Chen Yun.
When everyone arrived, Xu Qingmu turned to Zuo Qiuliang and said, "Create a barrier."
Zuo Qiuliang understood the idea, and casually took out a yellowed talisman and slapped it on the table. Suddenly, the stream of light rose, and the entire room was placed in a barrier, cutting off all methods of detection.
Xu Qingmu spoke: "Have you known for a long time that I am the prince?"
Li Chengru nodded.
Xu Qingmu didn't ask further questions. Since Li Chengru didn't want to say anything, there was a reason for it. But Xu Qingmu didn't understand something at the moment.
Why do we need to recognize each other in front of so many people today?
At the moment, Xu Qingmu expressed his thoughts to seek opinions from Li Chengru and others.
The fat man seemed to be thinking very quickly: "Isn't this simple? I'll give you enough face to suppress the Ye Family Sword Tomb."
Li Chengru shook his head: "This is one of them."
Then Li Chengru said: "Recognizing each other in public is indeed the reason for the suppression of the Ye Family Sword Tomb. This is also the reason why your father personally expressed condolences to the Wang Family Immortal. In the past few years, the rise of the Ye Family Sword Tomb among the four major shanggong academies
The momentum is very fast and fierce. In front of him is Ye? The first person in the sword list, and in the back is Prince Xu Pei who has won the dragon energy. In this way, the arrogance of the Ye Family Sword Tomb has reached an extremely amazing level invisibly. The tail is too big to lose. This is also your father.
That’s where the worries lie. And your appearance is the key to the rat-defying weapon in the Ye Family Sword Tomb.”
Xu Qingmu nodded and figured it out.
As a family with three surnames, the Wang family is not involved in the disputes between Jianghu and Jianghu, but the sacrifice of the immortal who lived for more than 140 years was successful, which means that the rise of Wang Shuai in the next ten years is inevitable. Now King Xu Yan puts down his dignity and
And before his birthday, he personally hung up a white cloth and went down to the palace to express his condolences, which was to tell everyone in the world that he was tied to the Wang family.
Li Chengru then said: "Secondly, it is to protect you."
Xu Qingmu was a little confused. Protection? Could it be that he was afraid that someone would kill him if he fought tomorrow?
Li Chengru shook his head: "You think too simply. Tomorrow's competition is a trivial matter, but the arrival of the real person behind it is the biggest threat to you."
Li Chengru reached out and put the three white bowls on the table in order.
"The one on the left is the secret force in the Ye Family Sword Tomb; the one in the middle is watched by the eunuchs in the palace; and the one on the right is the most dangerous existence - Lu Sancun."
Then Li Chengru turned the dishes upside down on the left and middle bowls, and looked at Xu Qingmu:
"Now that King Xu Yan is recognizing his relatives in public, he is undoubtedly telling the two forces behind him that are ready to move. You, Xu Qingmu, are my son, King Xu Yan. Anyone who does so will be an enemy of me, King Xu Yan!"
Xu Qingmu suddenly realized.
"And a bowl."
Zuo Qiuliang suddenly turned over a larger white bowl and placed it upside down on the table:
"The feudal lord."
Xu Qingmu was even more surprised: "Why did you say this?"
Li Chengru stretched out his hand and patted it, and the girl who was kneeling on the ground in the afternoon was pulled over by an inexplicable force. Zuo Qiuliang said, "Who asked you to come here today to insult Xu Qingmu?"
The woman was obviously frightened, and her lips and teeth were trembling: "I don't know anything. It's just that Xu Chengdi, the son of King Changling, ordered the three of us to come. I really didn't know he was the prince. Please let me go."
..."
Qikagami's eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, didn't you say you wanted to keep her down for a physical examination..."
Ye Qingxian rolled his eyes and cursed: "Shut up!"
Qishang was indeed obedient and shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Xu Qingmu secretly sighed in his heart, this Li Chengru was indeed very accurate in doing things. It seems that he had already sorted out these problems before he made the move to keep this girl.
Li Chengru waved his hand again, and the woman fainted. Li Chengru said:
"Fat man, find a maid to ruin some of her clothes and keep her on the road after midnight."
The fat man took the order and left.
Qi Shang was about to speak, but saw Ye Qingxian's eyes widened and round, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart. Li Chengru patted Qi Shang's head lovingly:
"By destroying her clothes and throwing them on the road, you are saving this girl's life. Don't worry."
Qikagami pressed her lips tightly, not even uttering the "oh", but just nodded desperately.
Ye Nuxia said, if you are not allowed to speak, then we will not speak! Ye Qingxian's cold face was a little soft.
This idiot!
Xu Qingmu looked at the four white bowls on the table. The first two had been covered upside down by plates. The fourth bowl turned upside down by Zuo Qiuliang meant that it could not be turned over yet, but it was not a big problem. Only the third bowl was left.
Just a bowl.
Xu Qingmu thought for a while, filled the third bowl with water, looked at Li Chengru and Zuo Qiuliang and said:
"What if that's the case?"
Looking at the third bowl that was already covered with water, the two looked at each other and said in unison:
"good!"
You, Lu Sancun, came here with a purpose? Then I will abandon my child to trap the wolf and find out what your purpose is first!
For a moment, the four white bowls on the table were shaking.
