Chapter 507: Wrong Change of Life for Seventeen Years
Wei Zheng felt that he might not survive today.
The emperor's boot happened to hit him in the face, and the strong smell immediately made Wei Zheng faint.
He finally understood why the students in the academy were spreading rumors that Li Ke had too much athlete's foot.
It turns out that the root cause is here.
Then he was knocked unconscious by the emperor's smoke, wouldn't he have discovered the emperor's secret?
If he knew such unspeakable things, the emperor still couldn't kill him?
Wei Zheng felt a chill in his heart.
Looking at the empty room, I thought I might as well run away first.
To avoid being killed and silenced by the emperor.
The emperor opened the door and came in, and saw Wei Zheng looking at him eagerly.
"Wake up." Li Shimin stood beside the bed, looked at Wei Zheng, and said.
There was no apology at all for knocking Wei Zheng unconscious.
"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng sat up and leaned to the side.
"What did the auxiliary machine say to you yesterday?" Li Shimin and Wei Zheng asked.
"He said that the crown prince asked him to take Du He back." Wei Zheng replied, and the rest of the sentence was gone.
Even at this time, he was very dissatisfied with the emperor's inexplicable behavior of throwing him into this place.
"What's more, didn't you tell Zhao Chen anything else?"
"For example, Xuanjia Army!" Li Shimin frowned. He didn't believe that Changsun Wuji wouldn't test Zhao Chen.
But Zhao Chen doesn't know his identity, so it's useless to test him.
Perhaps, this would make Changsun Wuji give up that idea.
"Xuan Jiajun didn't mention it. He just asked Zhao Chen if he had any special status." Wei Zheng replied, staring closely at Li Shimin's eyes and asked: "Your Majesty, do you think Zhao Chen really
Don’t you have any special identity?”
"Yes!" Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he looked at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng felt a sudden change in his heart.
The secret passage is indeed like this.
Zhao Chen is indeed the son of the emperor and the empress. Otherwise, why would Zhao Chen keep getting better and better by going against the prince like this?
Can't explain it.
This is the only explanation.
"Zhao Chen is the nephew of the Queen. His mother and the Queen were good sisters back then, so I have always regarded Zhao Chen as my nephew."
"In addition, Zhao Chen himself is very capable. All my princes, to say the least, are not even as good as one-tenth or two of Zhao Chen."
"The queen and I care about him very much!" Li Shimin said with a smile.
"Huh?" Wei Zheng was a little confused.
This was different from what he had imagined before.
Shouldn't the emperor admit that Zhao Chen is his son at this time?
How did he become his nephew?
"Your Majesty, please tell me the truth as to whether Zhao Chen is your son or not. I can swear on the tablets of my ancestors. If any of what I say today is leaked, I will fall into purgatory forever." Wei Zheng did not believe in the relationship between Zhao Chen and the emperor.
That's all.
Just the Xuanjia Army, a private army that only belongs to the emperor, would not even dare to give him a son, let alone an outsider?
Wei Zheng felt that the emperor was lying to him.
In other words, the emperor did not trust himself.
"I have already said that Zhao Chen is my nephew, what are you waiting for?" Li Shimin frowned.
He was a little angry.
Since Wei Zheng has followed Zhao Chen, he must consider his safety.
This is Zhao Chen's current situation.
Once your identity is revealed, there is no benefit at all.
Those in the court who had already taken refuge in the prince would never let Zhao Chen ascend to power easily.
Zhao Chen did not deal with them.
It is even more impossible for them to let Zhao Chen sit in the position of the prince.
"Then your Majesty is not afraid that the officials will demand that your Majesty shed blood to recognize his kin?" Wei Zheng asked again forcefully.
This is what Li Shimin is most worried about.
He can be sure of the relationship between Zhao Chen and himself.
If you shed blood to recognize your relatives, you will definitely succeed.
Even if he wants to hide it at that time, he will have no excuse.
At that time, the conflict and conflict of interest between Zhao Chen and the prince will be brought to light.
Li Shimin could depose the prince, but how could he stop the long-running public debate between the officials and the people of the world?
Seeing that the emperor remained silent, Wei Zheng felt even more horrified.
The blood recognition he just mentioned was just to test the emperor.
But the emperor's performance made Wei Zheng feel a little scared.
As expected, Zhao Chen and the emperor had a father-son relationship.
No wonder when I met Zhao Chen for the first time, I felt that Zhao Chen and the emperor seemed to be carved from the same mold when they were young.
There are so many similar people in the world!
They are clearly father and son!
"Wei Zheng, do you understand now why I asked you to follow Zhao Chen here?" Li Shimin sat down on a stool beside him, his eyes calm.
Wei Zheng was silent for a moment and then nodded.
He still doesn't understand the emperor's intention.
"Zhao Chen and the prince are both seventeen years old this year, who is..."
"Po Wen made a mistake when she hugged the two of them by mistake." Li Shimin sighed softly and added:
"Do you still remember that when we first met Zhao Chen, he was born with an illness?"
"Remember, he was still taking medicine at that time. The medicine was prescribed by Uncle Fu's friend." Wei Zheng nodded and sat up straight.
He remembered that when he first went to the tavern, there were many dried herbs in the backyard of the tavern.
Uncle Fu said that it was to treat Zhao Chen's qi disease.
"Sun Simiao said that qi diseases are either born from the mother's womb, or they are caused the day after tomorrow."
"Zhao Chen's qi disease is born from birth." Li Shimin said slowly.
"So, the Queen's anger spread to Zhao Chen?" Wei Zheng stared at the emperor in disbelief.
Doesn't this mean that Zhao Chen, who has stayed in the village of Wannian County for sixteen years, is actually the one who should be sitting in the position of prince?
"I asked Guanyin Maid, and she said that Zhao Chen's parents are both in good health and don't have any symptoms of qi disease at all."
"But except for the prince, all the children born to Guanyin are suffering from Qi diseases." Li Shimin explained to Wei Zheng.
Li Shimin felt very aggrieved after keeping this secret for so long.
Since Wei Zheng wanted to know, it was better to talk to him than to find someone to talk to.
At this moment, Wei Zheng's heart was in turmoil.
He had guessed Zhao Chen's identity for a long time, but now that his guess was confirmed by the emperor, he found it very difficult to accept it.
Zhao Chen should actually be the current crown prince.
And Li Chengqian, who had been the prince for seventeen years, should be the country boy.
Seventeen years of wrong changes in life!
"Wei Zheng, since I left you with Zhao Chen, I believe you will help him."
"Today's matter must not be mentioned to anyone. Even with Zhao Chen, you must keep your mouth shut, otherwise I will make you speechless forever!" Li Shimin said slowly, his voice suddenly becoming cold and stern.
Wei Zheng was shocked, nodded slowly, and added: "Zhao Chen's identity has aroused the suspicion of all officials. Your Majesty has not shown up. Once you show up, someone will definitely ask your Majesty to confess his blood to Zhao Chen."
"At that time, does your Majesty have any way to deal with it?"
