Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Finale
Chapter 57
When Jiang Yu rushed over, she saw that several children including Zhou Zhen were caught by the other side.
The other children on the other side looked fine, but the emperor's eldest grandson seemed to be unable to bear it. His face was pale and he was held in Zhou Zhen's arms. She shouted angrily, "Bring me some water, can't you see that the child is dying of thirst?" "You
have so many requests, just bear with it, and wait for me to discuss the conditions with your Zhongyuan prince."
Fucheng's face was very embarrassed. Zhou Zhen was really afraid that the child would have an accident here. "Do you want a living emperor's eldest grandson or a dead emperor's eldest grandson? You always know which is more important, right?"
Wulan said to the guards on the side, "Bring him some water."
Then Wulan asked □□ to look after the child, and then he went outside. The prince was already standing on the opposite side with his men. They looked at each other from a distance, but no one dared to act rashly.
"What do you want? You should know that you only have a few thousand people. You can't escape from here. Tens of thousands of soldiers will come soon." The prince said coldly.
"Don't scare me. We have your son, the eldest grandson of the emperor, and a few children in our hands. They are not ordinary children. How can you bear it?" Then he shouted to Wu Dinghou behind him, "Wu Dinghou, we meet again. When you killed my father, I saw it all. I can let others go, but I won’t let your son go.”
Wu Dinghou’s eyes turned red when he heard this, and he almost fainted. “You Tatars who eat raw meat and drink blood, if you really touch my son, I will kill you all to avenge my son.”
Fucheng finally felt better. The children gathered together and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Fucheng looked better. Suddenly, they heard a quarrel outside. Li Shucheng was a little scared and looked at Wu Ding. “Wuding, did you hear that? That Tatar said he wanted to kill you.”
Wu Ding’s expression was more mature than expected. His eyes were dim, but he was still He said, "All the men in our family have to join the army. If you join the army, you don't have to be prepared to die in battle. I know that."
The hands of the children were tied up, so Du Qing could only lean over and rub Wu Ding's cheek. "Things haven't come to this point yet. The prince is here, and he will definitely not let him kill people under his nose, otherwise it will damage his dignity!"
The eldest grandson of the emperor rarely agreed and said, "Father will definitely not watch it like this."
In fact, the eldest son of the emperor, Fucheng, was a little afraid of the prince. He always felt that his eyes were very cold, but at this time, he suddenly became understanding.
The children were actually scared.
Zhou Zhen looked at this one, then that one, and finally stopped at Wu Ding. His eyes were red, and he thought in his heart that he hoped that the Buddha would bless the children and let them live in peace.
"If you kill Wu Ding, I will directly ask people to flatten this place. Since Lord Wuling is not afraid, the eldest grandson of the emperor is the same. It's fine as long as he dies a good death." The prince said coldly.
Wulan was so angry that she laughed. She thought the prince was too cruel. No wonder the people who hired them said that they would kill the prince together, because he didn't care about his son at all.
Jiang Yu almost cried when she heard this. Du Haoyu grabbed her arm tightly and winked. In fact, Jiang Yu also knew what he meant. This was the prince negotiating with the other party. Otherwise, if he agreed to everything, he would only take whatever he wanted, and in the end, the child might not be saved.
But at this moment, the emperor arrived. He just came and heard the prince's words. He turned pale and shouted loudly, "No, prince, you are too ruthless. That's your child."
Perhaps after running all the way, the emperor's face was pale and looked haggard. The queen supported her, followed by the crown princess.
The queen was also surprised. The prince actually said that he could ignore the life of the emperor's eldest grandson? Before, she thought the emperor was making a fuss. At this time, he had to follow her. She was worried that his body couldn't bear it, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that she understood the emperor's feelings.
Fucheng is such a lovely child, how could the prince bear it?
When the prince saw the emperor coming, he knew that the matter was over. Whatever Ulan said was the truth. He went forward to greet the emperor, but the emperor slapped the prince in the face.
"Prince, what are you thinking? You make me so sad!" After the emperor slapped the prince, he suddenly coughed violently, and he coughed up blood.
Everyone was panicked for a while, but fortunately, the imperial physician followed and took the pulse, and then gave the emperor acupuncture, and soon stopped coughing.
The emperor lay on the dragon chariot, pale and said to the prince, "If you don't want to take care of this, you can go back and I will take care of it myself."
But the prince did not respond at all. He looked at the emperor with a very obscure and difficult to understand look.
The emperor felt a little guilty when he was looked at by the prince. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. Could he have known something a long time ago? Otherwise, why was he so cold to Fucheng? It was as if something had suddenly been untied, and the emperor suddenly became flustered. His portrait had already been written, and the crown prince would succeed him, but the eldest grandson had to be made the crown prince.
However, in the current situation, the emperor had no time to think about it. Even if the crown prince already knew the inside story, he had to rescue the child first.
The emperor replaced someone else, that is, the crown princess. He asked the crown princess to pass on the message, thinking that with her around, she would definitely protect the eldest grandson.
The Crown Princess walked over and said, "His Majesty the Emperor said that as long as you release a few children, he will agree to any conditions you want."
Wulan and □□ looked at each other and both showed joyful expressions. "You all withdraw your troops, give us 2,000 bows and crossbows, and one million taels of silver, and we will release the people after we leave Shanhaiguan."
The Crown Princess said, "You can take the other children as hostages, but you must release the eldest grandson first."
"How is that possible? The most valuable thing here is the eldest grandson. If you release him, maybe you will change your mind."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Wulan was about to speak when suddenly a subordinate came over and whispered something in his ear. He rolled his eyes and said, "Let the crown prince come here as a hostage, and we will release the eldest grandson."
The Crown Princess was happy. It seemed that they had just received her order. When the crown prince was replaced by the eldest grandson and sent over, these people could all die.
The Crown Princess showed an embarrassment and walked up to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, you have seen it too. They said that one person must go as a hostage. They want the Crown Prince before they can release Fucheng. They were tossing and turning all night last night. Look at Fucheng's face? How long can he hold on? He should be replaced as soon as possible. Woohoo, my Fucheng."
The Emperor also began to get anxious after seeing this, and said to the Crown Prince, "Prince, Fucheng is your son after all. You just need to go as a hostage, and they will be fine after leaving Shanhaiguan. I will definitely send someone to follow you all the time." The Crown Prince
suddenly sneered, and then looked at the Emperor and the Crown Princess, "Why should I be a hostage for someone else's child?"
The Emperor choked sharply. He was finally sure that the Crown Prince had known that the child was his.
"Prince, what are you talking about? They just asked you to be a hostage. As a father, how can you not feel sorry for the child at all? What do you mean by someone else's child? Fucheng is your child!" The Queen couldn't help it. She felt that the Crown Prince was too ruthless to Fucheng.
The Crown Princess was so panicked. Did the Crown Prince already know about this? Impossible. He definitely didn't know. The Crown Princess tried to comfort herself.
The emperor's face was pale. He was not feeling well, but he was also frightened by the prince's words.
Wulan on the opposite side didn't care about these things at all. Since the higher-ups wanted the prince to be a hostage, he would definitely do it. Wulan asked Bart to bring a few children to his side.
The children were only tied up, and their legs could still move. They walked over slowly.
Wulan pulled out a knife from his knife, then shook the knife in front of the children, and said to the emperor, "I have changed my mind now. Since your prince is unwilling to come, I will kill a few to vent my anger. Who do you think is better to kill first? Or cut off the fingers of the emperor's eldest grandson? Anyway, he has ten fingers. Cut them slowly, and you will figure it out."
The emperor was so scared that he coughed up blood again. After a while, he stopped coughing and said, "Prince, I beg you, go and exchange Fucheng back."
The prince knew that the emperor was going to use his life to exchange Fucheng's life. At this moment, he felt that he didn't need to cover up for the emperor. At the beginning, he felt that the emperor had a favor for him, so he had been prepared to keep it secret.
But obviously, the emperor could no longer care about anything.
"Your Majesty, I can't do it, because Fucheng is not my biological child, but the child born of the Crown Princess and someone else. Why should I risk saving him? Or does Your Majesty know the father of this child?" The prince said coldly.
The emperor coughed up blood again, and the queen cried anxiously. She felt that she didn't want to care about this matter anymore, and just wanted to take the emperor back. He had coughed up blood several times in a row, and he had to die here. She said, "Your Majesty, let's go back first. Nothing is more important than your dragon body!"
"No, we have to save Fucheng!" The emperor knew that he could no longer hide it at this time. He could only reveal Fucheng's identity. Otherwise, no one would care about a child born of adultery. He decided to go all out, "Yes, of course I know him, because Fucheng is my child." There was silence
all of a sudden. The emperor actually had an affair with the Crown Princess and gave birth to a child? And then let the prince be the father?
"Are you finally not hiding it anymore? So now you want to use my life to exchange for your son's life?" The prince said coldly.
The queen almost fainted, "What are you talking about?"
"Mother, don't you understand? His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Princess gave birth to Fucheng. He is not my son, but my nephew. It's a big surprise."
The queen rolled her eyes after hearing this, and she really fainted this time.
The emperor hurriedly asked someone to help the queen, "Hurry up and treat the queen."
It took a while for the queen to wake up slowly, but when she saw the emperor in front of her, she felt full of hatred in her heart. She looked up at the Crown Princess again, and she didn't know where she got the strength. She got up, walked over, grabbed the Crown Princess's hair and started slapping her, "Bitch, you seduced your own father-in-law. Fucheng is so old, so you... I'm miserable. It turns out that you and I were kept in the dark."
Wulan and □□ were shocked by the reversal of this matter, but this was a good thing for them. The eldest grandson in their hands became the emperor's only son. Isn't this more bargaining chip?
□□ leaned close to Wulan's ear and said, "We have such a big bargaining chip now, why should we listen to that person? Just take what we want as soon as possible."
It was agreed that they would go to Kyoto to help that person kill the prince and the emperor, and then she would give the 200,000 hectares of land south of Daning to their tribe for use, which was also the reason for their risk.
Wulan said, "Let's give it a try."
"Emperor of Zhongyuan, since this Fucheng is your son, then the increase will be higher. Not only do we want those things just now, but we also want Daning. Daning will be ceded to our people." As long as the Tatars have these two states, they can gather their strength and attack Kyoto in no time.
This is raising a tiger to cause trouble, and it cannot be agreed to at all.
"No." Several ministers beside the emperor couldn't help but say.
The Crown Princess took a breath of cold air. She knew that these people probably wanted to fly solo.
But those people were greedy for money, so it was normal for them to break their promises. She had arranged everything, coaxing the emperor and the prince to follow her out to burn incense, then poisoning the banquet, and letting the Tatars in to kill the emperor and the prince.
Then she would be a noble person, but who would have thought that Fucheng, who had always been obedient, would run out on his own and disrupt all her plans.
The emperor had already let it go, and didn't listen to the objections of the people around him, and said, "I promise you." Then he lowered his eyes, not looking at the prince, and said, "Prince, you go over there too, and bring Fucheng back."
The emperor was ready to tear his face off.
The prince was unmoved, "Father, I'm sorry I can't obey your order."
"You?"
In an instant, the soldiers were divided into two teams, one side was the emperor's guards, and the other side was the soldiers protecting the prince.
"Marquis Wuling, go and capture the prince!" The emperor said coldly.
Marquis Wuling was in a dilemma. The emperor was the Son of Heaven, and he had to listen to him. However, the emperor was in a bad condition. Did he really have to kill the prince and let Fucheng succeed him?
Not to mention whether a child could stabilize the government and make the ministers submit, he was still a sickly child. He might not survive for a few years and follow the emperor. What kind of chaos would the court be in by then?
But he had to listen to the emperor. He was very conflicted for a while, and the emperor scolded, "Marquis Wuding, are you going to rebel? I just want to save Fucheng. You should control the prince first. I won't hurt him." The emperor obviously knew Marquis Wuding's concerns.
Marquis Wuling didn't believe it at all. After the prince was really imprisoned, how could the two of them be reconciled? Besides, the two were not father and son at all, and their relationship was not as close as that of biological parents. The emperor even slept with the princess. What man could stand it?
The prince said coldly, "Marquis Wu Ding, you are a pillar of the country. I hope you understand that if you let these people succeed, they will definitely attack the capital within ten years. By then, you and I will be sinners for all eternity."
The two teams were confronting each other, but Wu Lan was very anxious. He interrupted them loudly and said, "Hurry up, I'll count to dozens. If you haven't made up your mind, I'll kill a child first." Wu Lan originally wanted to cut off Fu Cheng's fingers, but seeing that his face was too bad, he was really afraid that he would die with this knife, so he pointed the blade at Du Qing.
Jiang Yu's heart was broken, he ran forward, grabbed the prince's wrist, and shouted, "Your Highness, you have to save Ah Qing, she is..." Jiang Yu swallowed hard, and finally looked at Du Haoyu, and saw him nod slightly, then he mustered up the courage to say, "She is your daughter, her eyebrows and eyes are so similar, didn't you see it?"
The prince was stunned, "You said Du Qing is my daughter?"
The prince suddenly felt that many things could be explained clearly. Why did he feel particularly close every time he saw Du Qing, wanted to talk to her and get close to her? He originally thought that it was because Du Qing was Jiang Yu's daughter, but now he realized that Du Qing was his daughter.
His daughter?
The prince looked at Du Qing again, and felt that her eyebrows and eyes, that expression, were actually very similar to his own. Why didn't he see it before?
"Stop, don't touch my daughter!" The prince suddenly shouted loudly.
Wu Lan suddenly felt very interesting. Who knew that he was holding several children in his hands, one was the son of Wu Dinghou, another was the child of the emperor and the crown princess, and this cute little girl was actually the prince?
"Since it's the Crown Prince's child, you won't kill him. But you need to make a decision as soon as possible. Don't waste time here." Wu Lan shouted. "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it."
In fact, Wu Lan thought very clearly that this was going to be an internal struggle, a fight to the death. Whoever died would be good for him, after all, it would weaken the opponent's power. However, he hoped that the one who died was the Central Plains prince. He looked like a cold and hard man. If he was kept, the Central Plains would only become stronger and stronger, and the old emperor would lose his temper and let them do whatever they wanted.
Prince Lin Bozhi looked at his daughter in the distance, and even had an impulse to rush over and snatch her back immediately. His child had been dangling in front of him, but he didn't recognize her when he went there.
"Why didn't you tell me at the beginning?"
Jiang Yu only wanted to save his daughter now, so he had nothing to hide. "Your Highness is going to marry the princess, so how can there be a place for me and the child? Ah Qing was raised well by me, wasn't she? My cousin is also a good father."
This is what made the prince most angry. "Why can you deprive me of my right to be a father? I also want to watch Ah Qing grow up slowly."
Their Lin family has few descendants, even a girl is extremely precious, not to mention that this is his and Jiang Yu's child. If she came back at that time...
Jiang Yu fell silent. It must be said that what the prince said made some sense. He could only say one sentence, "Save her."
The prince said, "I will save her. She is my daughter. I will not let her suffer any grievances in the future." Then he walked towards the emperor.
The Crown Princess was almost jealous and crazy. Why? Su Rou's child was actually the prince's? No wonder these two people are flirting with each other every day, vixens are like that. She couldn't help but curse, "Bitch..."
Before the Crown Princess could finish her words, the Queen grabbed her hair and slapped her twice. The Queen's eyes were red, and she seemed a little crazy, "What are you talking about? You are a bitch! Before Lady Jiang married Lord Du's man, she was the Crown Prince's wife."
"It's really ridiculous. A woman who gave birth to an adulterous child with her father-in-law actually calls someone else's wife a bitch."
"Crown Princess, don't you know that you are a laughing stock here?"
No matter what, the fact that the Crown Princess had an affair with her father-in-law was a shocking scandal. On the contrary, Jiang Yu's matter was understandable. After all, she was the Crown Prince's wife before.
The Crown Princess was beaten several times by the Queen, her face was swollen, and her hair was messed up. She no longer had the dignity and grace of the Crown Princess before, and looked like a crazy woman.
The Crown Princess felt unsure at first, after all, she had done such a shameful thing, so she let the Queen hit her a few times, but the Queen didn’t stop doing this, and she felt very angry, and cursed, "As the mother of the country, the Queen failed to give birth to an heir to consolidate the country. How can you face our ancestors? I just want to share the Queen’s worries!"
The Queen felt dizzy, glanced at the Emperor and cursed, "Your Majesty, you and I have been a loving couple for decades, and you just watch her scold me?"
The emperor also felt ashamed of the Queen, but he was also very distressed to say that the Crown Princess was beaten by the Queen, "At this time, as the Queen, you should have some etiquette, right? Why bother with a junior? Even if her intentions were impure before, and she was blinded by interests, but she gave birth to an heir for me, that is the greatest contribution."
"You old thing, you are so shameless to occupy my own daughter-in-law!" The Queen's eyes were full of anger. She walked up to the Emperor and slapped him twice.
Everyone was shocked. Today, the Queen seemed to have given up completely. She didn't care about everyone's opinions at all. She just wanted to beat him to her heart's content.
The emperor was beaten so hard that he saw stars. The imperial physician beside him came over quickly and helped him to treat
the disease. The emperor vomited two mouthfuls of blood and his posture became more and more shaky. "You old thing, just die early. Fucheng is a sickly person. What can you do even if you save him? Will he die in bed like you? You are letting the whole court be buried with your selfishness."
The Queen said what everyone at the scene was thinking.
The ministers were afraid that the emperor would attack the prince again, so they knelt aside and said with tears in their eyes, "Your Majesty, please think twice! The emperor's grandson is sick and young, and the prince should stabilize the court and the government."
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order."
The Crown Princess walked up to the emperor and hugged him intimately. Things had come to this point. Since the Queen had no shame, what should she worry about? Now the only one who can help her here is the emperor. If she gets rid of the prince and saves her son, all the power in the world will belong to her.
Isn't this what she has been dreaming of for a long time?
"Your Majesty, you have to hold on. Fucheng and I still rely on you. Look at these people. If anything happens, they will definitely get rid of us mother and son."
The Crown Princess cried miserably, but she was not acting. At this time, she really felt extremely embarrassed. Her ugly deeds were made public, and she was scolded by the queen by her hair, and her face was swollen.
When has she ever suffered such grievances?
The emperor also felt distressed. He stretched out his hand to touch the Crown Princess's cheek and said, "Don't be afraid. I support you and Fucheng. Don't worry."
The queen couldn't help scolding, "Old thing, you are really confused!"
The emperor hugged the Crown Princess. He didn't care about his face anymore. At this point, everyone had torn off the fig leaf, and it was what it should be.
"Marquis Wuling, let me ask you, what do you want? Do you think I want to disobey your orders?"
Although there were many troops coming, only Marquis Wuling could fight against the prince, which was why the emperor kept urging him.
Marquis Wuling finally chose to stand on the emperor's side. His family had been loyal to the emperor for generations. He could not violate this ancestral precept, let alone leave a bad reputation for his family. Even if he died, he had to protect him.
Marquis Wuling drew his sword and blocked the front of Prince Lin Bo, "Your Highness, I'm sorry." As a result, the sword was raised for a long time, but it did not fall. Finally, tears fell, "Your Highness, swords have no eyes, please be careful."
"Marquis Wuling, what are you doing? Take the prince down quickly." The emperor had made up his mind completely. He did not have a biological son at the beginning. If he had known earlier that Fucheng was his child... If he was not a biological child, then he was not a biological child. But a word of dissatisfaction would disobey him.
Du Haoyu, who was standing at the back, looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. It seemed that some answer was about to come out of his mind, but it seemed that he could never find the door.
What on earth was it?
Du Haoyu glanced at the place where his daughter was kidnapped. The little girl's hands were tied tightly. She looked very frightened and her face was pale. He felt very distressed. Then he looked at the side. It was the emperor's eldest grandson Fucheng. He should be in poor health. It was very rare for him to hold on for such a long time. His face was also pale.
At this time, he was lowering his head. I don't know what he was thinking. From an emperor's eldest grandson to the emperor's illegitimate son, how should he feel?
That lowered profile always feels familiar. Who does it look like?
Someone beside the prince came forward and said, "Your Highness, let me meet Wuling Hou for a while." The prince
waved his hand and said, "You retreat." The general had to retreat, but his hand was on the hilt of the sword, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time.
The son of Marquis Wuling and the Wuling Army were all on high alert. The prince's entourage, guards, and several generals who followed were also staring at the opposite side, as if anything was about to happen.
Wulan took the tea brought by □□, took a sip, then swallowed it with great difficulty, and said, "The tea in Central Plains is weird, not as delicious as our milk tea." Then he pointed to the two teams on the opposite side who were on the verge of a fight and said, "Look, if a fight breaks out, the prince of Central Plains is no pushover."
□□ understood what Wulan meant. Central Plains is a place that pays the most attention to the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. Being able to follow the prince to fight against the emperor is considered disloyalty. They have to make a great determination to stand on the same line with the prince.
"So what? The old emperor has more people and power, and the prince of the Central Plains can't beat him. We just have to wait for the fisherman to take advantage." After Wulan finished speaking, he glanced at the children next to him and said to the emperor's eldest grandson, "Child, your father is now the emperor. Now that he has returned, you have to call him father. Do you understand? It's ridiculous. You people in the Central Plains claim to be a country of etiquette and say that we are barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood. As a result, a father-in-law actually had a child with his daughter-in -law. Haha, it's ridiculous."
Although the emperor's eldest grandson was in poor health, he had a bad temper. He clenched his fists and cursed, "You dirty barbarians, I heard that all of you brothers have taken their sisters-in-law as their pillows, and they are better than you anyway!" Is the emperor grandfather who is kind and tolerant to him actually his biological father? How could his mother do such a disgraceful thing? What will others think of him when he goes out in the future?
Wu Lan was totally unmoved, and spat on the ground, with obvious mockery in her heart. She glanced at Du Qing again, "Little girl, do you know that your biological father is the prince? But it's a pity that he will be killed by the old emperor soon. It's because the boy next to you is the old emperor's son."
In fact, Du Qing always remembered the prince. For some reason, every time he saw the prince, he always wanted to get close to him. Was he his biological father?
In fact, Du Qing always knew that Du Haoyu was not her biological father. Her mother had told her when she was a little more sensible.
So Du Qing didn't react as strongly as the emperor's eldest grandson. She just didn't expect that her biological father was the prince.
After waiting for Wulan to leave, the eldest grandson suddenly asked, "Du Qing, will you hate me? In fact, I know that the two of them are trying to sow discord."
Du Qing shook his head, "I don't hate you. We have learned that the son should not be
punished for the father's fault. I also know that he is trying to sow discord. But I am very worried about His Royal Highness." The eldest grandson of the emperor did not speak. He had a deep admiration for the prince. For a while, he even hoped to attract the attention of His Royal Highness.
Now that it has been proved that he is the son of the emperor, it is no wonder that the prince has ignored him.
But after so many years of feelings, he does not want the prince to
get into trouble, but what can he do? Even if he did something, the prince already knew that he was the emperor's son. Would he let him go? Obviously not. After his identity was exposed, all the illusions were torn apart.
Both children were precocious. Although they were still young, they thought about things completely different from children of the same age. Both of them looked at each other deeply and turned their heads away. They knew that something was different.
The prince drew his sword and attacked Wuling Hou. His moves were very fierce. Wuling Hou resisted for a while. Everyone was waiting for him to counterattack, but he suddenly rushed towards the prince's sword. The sword pierced his armor and blood flowed out.
"Wuling Hou?"
"Father!" Wuling Hou's son rushed over.
The prince's sword was stained with blood. He asked, "Why?"
Wuling Hou said, "I dare not disobey your majesty's order, but the country of my dynasty should be in your hands. I dare not be the criminal who destroyed the Great Jin. I can only die to show my determination." Wuling Hou's son listened to the side. The hatred in his eyes faded and he could only sob.
Many people around couldn't help but cry.
Wuling Hou's face turned pale. He was breathing less and breathing more. He said hoarsely, "Although my son is dull, he is still a kind person. I hope your highness will give him a chance to live for the sake of this old minister."
Wuling Hou's son suddenly burst into tears.
Wu Ding, who was far away, watched without blinking, tears falling down, and murmured, "Father..."
A group of ministers could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
But the emperor insisted on his own way and cursed, "You are all a bunch of useless things. Come on, who will capture the prince for me? I will reward you heavily."
There are always people who want to take advantage of the situation. Immediately, several generals came out, either those who had a grudge against the prince, or those who wanted to get high positions and generous salaries.
The emperor said, "Although the prince is brave, I have enough troops. Charge forward for me." The emperor brought almost all the troops that could be withdrawn from the capital, which was several times the number of the prince. It can be seen that he was panicked when he left the city at that time. He really loved his only son very much.
The queen cursed on the side, "You, a tyrant, will regret it sooner or later. I curse you to die a miserable death!"
"Enough, catch this shrew." The emperor said, and someone immediately grabbed the queen and held her mouth. She sneered, but did not speak.
Jiang Yu always felt that the prince was too calm. In terms of military strength, he was no match for the emperor. In terms of righteousness, he had no way to fight against his own father, which was considered disloyal and unfilial. However, he seemed to be fearless. She knew the prince too well. He was not a man who would not fight a battle without preparation.
At this time, the prince was surrounded by many people in front and behind, and they looked like they would follow him to death. However, the prince looked at Jiang Yu through the crowd and said, "Ayu, if I don't die this time and survive by chance, can you come back to me? After all, Aqing is my child. She should be a noble princess, not a common child."
Jiang Yu saw the prince's eyes shining, wearing armor, looking extremely handsome, standing out from the crowd, like a natural king, noble and dignified. But she suddenly shook her head and smiled, "Your Highness, you seem to have forgotten that I already have a husband. Besides, you will not die, and neither will Aqing."
The prince saw an insightful look in Jiang Yu's eyes, an expression of unusual tenderness that came from knowing each other too well. He sighed and said nothing more, but winked at the guard beside him.
The guard suddenly shouted, "Brothers, charge!"
Jiang Yu didn't know how all this happened. Suddenly, a line of soldiers emerged from the wall, holding a strange firearm in their hands. With the sound of bangs, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and smoke.
After everything calmed down, the Ulan brothers and most of the Tatars standing in front had fallen to the ground and died. The generals who were preparing to capture the prince also fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" The emperor shouted in panic.
The fire gun soldiers came down from the ambush point and pointed their guns in the direction of the emperor, asking the soldiers who were leaderless because of the death of their generals to put down their weapons. The power of the fire gun was too great, and the generals had already died, so there was really no need to resist.
Before the smoke from the fire guns dissipated, the prince had already taken his guards to find Du Qing.
He gently untied the child, and kept his hand on his daughter's small round temples for a long time, and finally touched her hair. The hair was very soft, and had a little fragrance of osmanthus hair oil. A few strands of hair came out from between his fingers, which made him feel itchy and warm in his heart.
This is his child.
Blood relationship is really strange. At first, he didn't know that Fucheng was the emperor's son, but strangely, he couldn't get close to him. In fact, he tried hard to be a loving father, but he didn't succeed. Later, when he knew Fucheng's life experience, he completely gave up getting close to him. After all, he was a son of an adulterer.
But it was different when facing Du Qing. The tenderness emanated from the depths of his heart. Every time he saw this child, he didn't even dare to speak loudly, as if he was afraid of scaring him.
Du Qing looked at the prince in front of him, "They say you are my biological father."
"Yes."
The prince said with an indescribable joy, "You are my daughter."
After saying that, the prince hugged the child hard, stood up, held her in his arms, and then walked towards the emperor.
He still has too many things to deal with now, but his daughter is now with him. He thinks he still has a lot of time to make up for it and how to be a good father.
Next to him is the emperor's eldest grandson. He gritted his teeth tightly and resisted the urge to call him. Finally, he looked at the prince and turned away without mercy, without even asking him a word of comfort. He felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry.
He was really confused. It was a blessing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't kill him at this time. After all, he was the biggest threat now.
Li Shucheng looked at the eldest grandson of the emperor, and then at Wu Ding. One had a new father, and the other had lost his father. He really regretted it now. He shouldn't have come here to
play. In that case, they were still best friends.
The Crown Princess knelt on the ground and trembled. She looked flustered. She didn't even understand why things turned out like this?
Obviously, the emperor's military strength was several times that of the crown prince? Those generals also looked brave and good at fighting.
What kind of weapon is this? It can spit fire, and it seems that it can take the opponent's name in an instant.
Unlike the Crown Princess, the Emperor recognized the source of the weapons at a glance, "When did you train this musket battalion?"
"Since you have been lying in ambush for a long time, why didn't you take action earlier?"
"If you had taken action earlier, I wouldn't have seen your majesty's cruelty of sacrificing his son for Fucheng,"
the emperor cursed angrily, "You did it on purpose, right? You just want to see me make a fool of myself."
"Actually not, I'm not 100% sure, and it's my first time using muskets." The Crown Prince found it very ridiculous, "Originally it was intended to be used against the enemy, but this time we had to let them join the battle in advance."
Huangdi thought for a moment and softened his tone, "Crown Prince, I think this is just a misunderstanding. You are holding your daughter now, you should understand my feelings, right? How could a father bear to watch his child die in front of him?" "
Really? Your Majesty, you don't think that after all these things happened, we can still pretend that nothing happened, right?"
The queen on the side laughed, her hair was disheveled, she looked crazy, but her expression was full of mockery. "You old thing, you are so shameless. You slept with your daughter-in-law, and now you want to pretend to be innocent, right?"
"Prince, don't let him go. If you were caught today, he would not be so merciful. Maybe you would have died under his knife. After all, you have to pave the way for your son."
"I said that you wrote the will so strangely. The new emperor must make the emperor's eldest grandson the next prince when he ascends the throne." The queen said those secret things as if they were family matters. "You also left me a will, saying that if the new emperor does not keep his promise, let me depose the new emperor for you, right?"
Maybe the emperor was sincere to the prince, but when he had his own son, his selfishness continued to expand. Because he could not recognize him openly, he could only pave the way for his son in this way.
But now that his identity has been exposed and he has become an opposition to the prince, will the emperor still leave room for the prince?
The prince waved his hand, ready to end this farce, "Come here, take care of His Majesty." Then he turned around, "Where's the Crown Princess?" He was suddenly stunned. The Crown Princess had walked up to the Emperor's eldest grandson and held him hostage. The Crown
Princess knew that if she went back, she would definitely not have a good ending. She was afraid that her son would not survive. After all, the Emperor's eldest grandson was a threat to the prince.
Even if she died, she would not let the Crown Prince have an easy life.
The emperor knew that the situation was over, but he was most worried about the Emperor's eldest grandson. He looked up and saw a scene that made him tear his eyes out.
The Crown Princess had disheveled hair and held a pearl hairpin in her hand. One end was a emerald flower inlaid with oriental pearls the size of longan, and the other side was pointed, which had now become a sharp weapon that could pierce the throat.
At this moment, the sharp weapon was aimed at the Emperor's eldest grandson's neck.
"Jia Lan, what are you going to do?" The emperor couldn't help but roar, and then he vomited blood again.
Several imperial doctors on the side looked at each other. They knew that if this continued, the emperor would definitely not survive today.
"Useless old thing, I entrusted my entire fortune to you, but you failed miserably and you are going to die soon. Who can protect me and my son?" The Crown Princess spat in the direction of the Emperor and cursed him in a bad tone.
The Emperor spat out another mouthful of blood, "No, the Crown Prince will not kill you." He wiped his blood with his sleeve, and then looked at the Crown Prince pleadingly, "Crown Prince, you promised me that you would not kill them, right?"
The Crown Prince did not say a word, and winked at the person beside him.
The Emperor suddenly hugged the Crown Prince's sleeve, "Crown Prince, father begs you."
The Crown Princess, who was holding the Emperor's eldest grandson hostage, could not help laughing, "Crown Prince, even if you win, what does it matter? Forcing the Emperor to beg you, the Crown Princess and the Emperor's eldest grandson will die here, and then someone will always be there to uphold justice for us."
The Crown Princess's plan was simple, to force the Emperor to die, and for herself and the Emperor's eldest grandson to commit suicide, so that the Crown Prince's reputation would be infamous for thousands of years.
Suddenly, there was a bang, and a blood flower suddenly appeared on the wrist of the crown princess who was holding the emperor's grandson hostage. She screamed and let go, but quickly picked up the red hairpin with her other hand.
The emperor was startled and couldn't help crying and begging the crown prince, "Prince, I beg you for this one thing, can you promise me to spare their lives?" Then he kowtowed.
Although the queen hated the emperor, she felt that the emperor's behavior was unbearable at this moment. She turned her face away with difficulty, her face full of tears.
It is always sad to see someone you once cherished so much begging like a dog.
When the crown princess saw this scene, she knew that her goal had been achieved. She couldn't help laughing.
"Father Emperor kowtowed to the crown prince, which is really an act of filial piety, everyone! You still want to follow this unfilial and disloyal blade? Is this still the leader of the revival you want?"
The emperor was a very kind emperor. When he was in power, he was very kind to all the ministers, and many ministers were a little bit dissatisfied.
"Your Highness, it's just a child, why do you have to kill him?"
Everyone echoed this sentence.
"Emperor, look at the prince, he is not moved at all. I will go with the prince first, we will wait for you downstairs." The Crown Princess seemed to have expected that the prince would not give in. After saying this, desperate hatred flashed in her eyes, ready to stab the emperor's eldest grandson in the neck.
At this time, Du Haoyu, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, "Princess Jialan! Why did you use my son to pretend to be the heir to the throne?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
The Crown Princess's determined eyes suddenly became flustered, "What are you talking about?"
"Princess Jialan, you and I got married in the mountains, and the year you left, you happened to have my son in your belly."
"Du Haoyu, do you have any evidence?"
"I am willing to drop blood on the spot to recognize my relationship."
No one present understood how things turned out like this? It was just a series of twists and turns. At the beginning, it was revealed that the emperor's eldest grandson was the emperor's child, and now someone pointed out that the emperor's eldest grandson was his son.
How many men has this Crown Princess been involved with?
"Drag this man out, he is crazy, and he wants to drop blood with the emperor's eldest grandson. Are you worthy?" The Crown Princess said.
"Are you worthy? Try it and you will know." Du Haoyu was unusually calm.
Jiang Yu glanced at Du Haoyu, then at the Crown Princess, and finally realized that this Crown Princess was probably his ex-wife.
But how could it be Princess Jialan?
The prince said to the attendant beside him, "You go and accompany Lord Du to drop blood to test the relationship." Then he helped the emperor who was lying on his lap up. He didn't care about his reputation. When the emperor was going to take him as a hostage, the affection between them was gone.
But if there was one thing that would not affect his reputation, why wouldn't he do it?
The Crown Princess looked at Du Haoyu and asked with gritted teeth, "Why are you doing this? If he is really your son, do you think you are helping him?"
"Yes, I am helping him. Because only in this way can he survive. He is my son, and he has no blood relationship with the royal family. He is just a commoner."
"No, my son is a royal heir!" The Crown Princess suddenly shouted stubbornly.
"Fucheng, I am your father. I'm sorry, I understand it too late. Follow your father in the future, okay? Dad will take you to visit famous mountains and divine doctors, and take you to treat diseases." Du Haoyu's voice trembled a little. When you think everything is under your control, you suddenly find that you have been living in a scam.
Du Haoyu claimed that he was a smart person, and he was indeed. He was precocious and sensible since he was a child. For him, books that were difficult for others to read were just a matter of taking a look.
But he found that it was this kind of arrogance that harmed him, allowing his biological son to live such a life.
The emperor's grandson, who had always been expressionless, finally reacted, "Why did you come just now?"
The emperor's eldest grandson felt that no one had ever really loved him. The crown princess wanted to consolidate her position, and the crown prince never looked at him straight in the eye. As for the emperor's favor, it was because he was his illegitimate son, an ugly and unspeakable identity.
He didn't like these two identities, so when the crown princess put the pearl hairpin against his neck, he thought that maybe this was a relief.
But another man walked up to him and told him that he was his biological father.
There was a very strange light in the man's eyes, sad, gentle, and regretful, intertwined and finally turned into gentle warmth.
Is this the father?
"Are you really my biological father?"
"Yes."
The attendant brought a porcelain basin filled with water. He did not dare to approach the Crown Princess, and only said cautiously, "Crown Princess, please let the emperor's eldest grandson recognize his kinship with blood."
"Don't come over, I won't allow it."
Seeing the Crown Princess's crazy rejection of this matter, the onlookers more or less knew what was going on.
The person who could not accept this the most was probably the emperor. He worked hard to pave the way for the emperor's eldest grandson, and fought with the crown prince. It came to this point, and now someone told him that the emperor's eldest grandson was not his son?
The emperor's eyes widened, "Go..." He was already very weak and couldn't even say a complete sentence, or maybe he was too angry, "Drop blood for me to recognize my kinship, right now!"
The crown prince nodded secretly, and suddenly there were two gunshots, and the Crown Princess's other intact hand was also hit by the musket, and it drooped down weakly.
It was said that it was late, but it was fast, and someone immediately went to carry the emperor's eldest grandson out.
"No blood test for kinship!"
"Why are you so scared? Because you know he's not the emperor's son, but mine, right?" Du Haoyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the emperor's elders had taken care of it, but he pressed on, staring at the Crown Princess and said coldly.
Without a hostage in her hands, and having her deeds exposed, the Crown Princess' heart was completely broken. She cried, "Yes, he is your son, but you forced me to do it. I was originally a princess of a wealthy family, but because of the Crown Prince, I was dragged into becoming a monk. How could I bear that hardship?"
"You're just quibbling. You obviously coveted the reputation of a chaste and heroic woman. You were afraid that you would give up your marriage due to the pressure from the witch queen and be looked down upon by others. You insisted on becoming a monk and practicing as a monk. How could you have suffered so much later?" Du Haoyu said.
"That's not the case!" The Crown Princess shouted!
"Then you ran out of the temple and met me. You pretended to be a daughter in distress and married me. But when you found out that the witch queen was killed and the new emperor ascended the throne, you couldn't wait to run away. Then, in order to cover up the fact that you were pregnant, you seduced the emperor."
The Crown Princess's face was gloomy. Knowing that she could no longer hide it, she suddenly looked up and laughed, "Yes, so what? You idiots have been fooled by me one by one, hahahaha."
Du Haoyu said coldly, "In fact, the blood test can't detect paternity at all."
"You lied to me?" The Crown Princess suddenly realized, "Ah, it's impossible!"
Everyone could see that the Crown Princess was in a very bad state and might have gone crazy.
Du Haoyu knew that the matter was over. He bent down and touched the head of the emperor's eldest grandson, "Dad will ask the crown prince for permission to take you away in a while."
The emperor's eldest grandson looked at this strange yet familiar man, and his eyes gradually became bright.
The following events are easy to reason. The emperor wanted to cover up the scandal between himself and Princess Canaan. After all, he stole his nephew's daughter-in-law. Princess Jialan became a nun to keep her chastity for the prince.
This is something everyone knows.
The emperor facilitated the marriage between the prince and Princess Canaan, and secretly hoped that his son would inherit the throne, so he did so many things in private.
"Impossible, tell me this is not true." The emperor roared.
"Old thing, do you think I like you? When I sleep with you, I feel sick. Every time I go back, I have to wash myself several times, but I can't wash off the old smell on you. How can the eldest grandson of the emperor be your child? If you can have children, how come you still don't have any offspring? Hahahaha!"
The emperor suddenly collapsed on the ground as if all the strength in his body was drained.
He burst into tears. "I'm sorry, prince, I was confused, queen?" He cried while looking for the queen. As his reason gradually recovered, he understood what kind of stupid thing he had done.
The queen took off her pearl hairpins and wore a plain dress. "Prince, I wish to wear a black robe, enter the Buddhist monastery, and stay with the ancient Buddha forever." Then she said to the emperor, "Emperor, I wish we will never meet in the next life."
After saying that, she walked out without even looking up.
The emperor wanted to chase the queen, but he had no strength and no one to support him. He could only look at the queen and cry.
"It's all your fault, bitch." The emperor didn't know where he got the strength from, and suddenly pounced on the crown princess. He bit her cheek fiercely. The crown princess wanted to push him away and hit him with her fists, but he didn't move
at all. When waiting to be separated, the emperor bit off a piece of meat from her face. Everyone exclaimed. The emperor picked up the red hairpin on the ground and stabbed the crown princess' neck fiercely. The crown princess pushed him with her hand, and the two rolled together. When they were waiting to separate them, they found that they had died.
The former emperor and the high-spirited crown princess died in the suburbs.
Du Haoyu begged the prince to let him take Fucheng away. The prince did not stop him. After all, if Fucheng was not a royal heir, then his existence would no longer be a threat to him.
Du Haoyu hugged Fucheng and walked to Jiang Yu.
The two smiled at each other. They knew each other since childhood and have always been the people who understand each other the best. In these years, they are more like relatives than husband and wife.
The two of them tried very hard to live together, but they always felt that something was missing. In fact, they both knew it.
So when he went to meet Fucheng, she knew that he was leaving.
"Where are you going to take him?"
"Let's visit a friend who is a doctor first. I'm afraid he can't afford it with his body." Du Haoyu said and touched the child's head lovingly.
In fact, at the beginning, Du Haoyu was not sure whether the child was his, so he could only use means to test the Crown Princess, and the result was obvious.
"What if Aqing and I miss you?"
Du Haoyu smiled, "We will come back and wait for his illness to be cured."
Jiang Yu also smiled, "Then cousin, wait for you to come back."
Du Haoyu held the child and walked to the prince, who had been holding Du Qing.
"Qing'er, Daddy has to go on a long journey."
Du Qing was a precocious child, "Don't you want me now that you have a son?"
Du Haoyu laughed and couldn't help but touch Du Qing's head, "Of course not, it's just that Fucheng's body needs to be treated as soon as possible, and I will come back when he is cured."
Du Qing had tears in her eyes, and the prince's heart was broken.
"Daddy, then remember to write to me."
"Okay, you have to stay with your mother obediently." Du Haoyu said with a smile, said goodbye to the prince, and then left here freely.
Before he left, he didn't even look at the Crown Princess who died on the ground, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Yu walked up to the male protagonist, "Ah Qing, let's go home."
Du Qing wanted to hold Jiang Yu's hand, but was held tightly by the prince, "You can't go anywhere, you are my daughter."
"But I want to be with my mother."
The prince said, "Then our family of three will be together."
