Sword wash the setting sun

Chapter 369 Listening to the Story

After the Empress's invitation to the Emperor's Island Compassionate Palace was rejected, the Empress went to meet the Holy Majesty in person, but unexpectedly the Emperor avoided seeing him again and asked the father-in-law to tell the Empress that he had gone to another concubine's place!

The queen who was treated coldly seemed extremely disappointed.Unexpectedly, she worked hard in the palace and ranked first among all the concubines. In the end, she couldn't protect her son comprehensively, and even seeing the emperor became a luxury.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and the angrier I became, the more I felt useless.

The expectant prince waited in the palace for his mother's exhausted face, so he guessed that the queen had run into trouble with her father.

The prince didn't dare to mention the matter of Miansheng again, and comforted the queen like a normal person.But he knew in his heart that the longer the time dragged on, the worse it would be for him.

If the second prince had his father's permission to kill the Dragon Slaying League, then Yu Fu would have no choice but to leave him.

Even if the second prince didn't do anything, the fake prince would do something to slander him among his party members, make the East Palace a mess, and any other things would have an immeasurable impact on him.

As long as father and emperor know the truth of the matter one day later, there will be an extra loss.

The empress can't invite the emperor, and the prince can't wait, and he believes that there is the second prince's eyeliner by his father's side, so he can't show his face.

Fortunately, in the end, after learning from the pain, the queen thought of another way.

The queen risked the great crime of not allowing the harem to interfere in the government, and went to wait outside the Golden Luan Hall.

After the emperor came out of the Golden Luan Hall, he saw the queen. He couldn't avoid it, so he had to bite the bullet and go forward.

"Why did you come here?" The emperor asked knowingly.

"Are you hiding from me because you are afraid that I will say that you are partial to the second prince? Don't worry! I have important family affairs with you. I have had a terrible dream these days, so I want to invite you to discuss it. I didn't know you..." The Queen said after greeting her.

The emperor couldn't bear to refuse when the queen directly denied the matter above the court!After the two of them arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, the empress only invited the emperor to have a meal and didn't mention anything else.

After spending so long in the harem, the empress already knew the emperor's preferences like the back of her hand.It's okay if you don't mention the things you care about, but if you mention it, the emperor will immediately turn his face.So just take your time...

After drinking and eating, the queen didn't say a word about what she said earlier, but the emperor couldn't help it.

"Isn't the Queen looking for something to discuss with me? Why..."

"Let me tell you a story first..." the queen said with a smile.

"I just want to hear what kind of story you tell!" The emperor was also in a good mood.

"Listen well, there is something wrong with my story!" Seeing that the emperor nodded in agreement, the queen began to make up stories.

"There used to be a farmer who had two friends who grew up together. One day one of the friends came to borrow 100 guan from him, and the next day the little friend came to borrow another 100 guan. The farmer asked him why Borrowed yesterday and still borrow today? The little friend was very surprised. After the two of them discussed whether they really borrowed money, a person who looked like that little friend walked in from the door. When the farmer couldn’t tell clearly, A doctor came outside. The doctor told him that he had a little friend who was disguised by him. Now they both have the same body, the same voice, and the same things they know.”

After the queen finished speaking, she looked at the emperor and asked, "If you were that farmer, how would you tell who is who from each other?"

The emperor thought for a while and said, "This kind of thing is impossible! So don't think about it!"

The queen stopped laughing, looked at the emperor and asked solemnly: "What if it really happened?"

The emperor stared at her for a long time, frowned and thought for a long time, finally shook his head and said: "This is impossible!"

"Hey!" The queen sighed, "Since you don't tell me, I won't hide it from you!"

Just as the emperor was about to ask her what she was hiding from him, he heard the queen pat her palm lightly.

After the applause stopped, a person walked in from the door, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt down at a distance.

The man was dressed in eunuch clothes and bowed his head.The emperor pointed at him and asked the queen, "This is it?"

The queen pointed to the eunuch and said, "You raise your head up!"

The crown prince raised his head, and the emperor was startled.

"Who are you?" the emperor asked sharply.

"I pay my respects to my father! May my father live forever!" The prince kowtowed his head as he said.

"Bold! How dare you impersonate the prince! Believe it or not, I will kill your nine clans!" The emperor shouted angrily.

The queen's lips parted beside her, but she still didn't speak in the end.Who are the prince's nine tribes?She wanted to persuade the emperor, but she dared not speak when she saw that the emperor was furious.

"Say it! What's going on!" the emperor turned and asked the queen.

The queen quickly knelt on the ground and said: "The prince is in court today! We came here after the court, and he has been guarding outside the door, so you first determine who is real!"

The emperor thought about it, it is impossible for the empress to bring a person who does not know the details in the palace, let alone invite herself here for an irrelevant person!The person kneeling below is probably the prince, and if he is the prince, how can the person in the Golden Temple explain it?
The emperor remembered the story that the empress just said, are they also the same in all things and bodies?
The prince untied the waist card and presented it to the emperor, "I brought this belt card when I left the city! It shouldn't be a symbol of the prince's identity now!"

The emperor took the waist card and looked at it: "Do you have any words to prove your identity?"

"I can only say that I know everything about the past! As for the identity, please ask the emperor to verify it! But the prince knows everything I know..." The prince no longer called himself the prince, which made the emperor feel good.

"Let me ask you, what book did you hate to read the most when you were a child, and what kind of snack did you like to eat?" the emperor asked.

"The book I least like to read is Jing Ke's Assassination of the Qin Dynasty! My favorite food is tofu cake, the kind made by Aunt Hua!" the prince replied.

"What good strategy do you have for Xianbei's invasion of our rivers and mountains? Answer me with the original words of your memorial!" the emperor asked.

"To fight against the outside world, you must first secure the internal affairs, and to secure the internal affairs, you must first enrich the people. The people are rich and the people are strong, and the military is strong when the people are strong..." The prince followed the words of the memorial.

The emperor stopped talking, and began to think about the prince's performance in the court today. It was exactly the same as before, and there was nothing doubtful about it. And the person in front of him, he also answered verbatim. Who is right and who is wrong?
"If the queen is that farmer, do you have a way to identify it?" The emperor looked at the queen and asked.

"Courts and concubines dare not talk nonsense about state affairs!" said the queen.

"Get up and answer! I want you to tell the story, which has nothing to do with state affairs! You can tell it!" the emperor said.

The queen thanked the emperor for getting up and sitting down again, his expression much calmer.
