Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Chu Xiaoran had breakfast, and with Qingyu's help, he chose a warm piece of clothing and put on a cloak. The wind and snow outside were not too strong or too weak, but now that he was pregnant, he had to be careful about everything.

Yan Boxi protected him and accompanied him to the front hall, through the long corridor, looking at the white snow outside. Occasionally, they could see a few footprints passing through the corridor. In addition to human footprints, there were also footprints of other people.

When he arrived at the front hall, Yan Boxi looked up and saw Shi Yinsheng sitting on a chair and drinking tea.

It was the first time that Yan Boxi saw this woman. He saw that Shi Yinsheng was wearing a silver-white mask on her face, and the aura around her was a little cold, giving people a chill.

Shi Yinsheng just sat there, as calm as a chrysanthemum. He took a sip of tea, put down his hands, and seemed to notice something. He raised his head slightly and turned to meet Yan Boxi's gaze.

Yan Boxi couldn't help but shiver and complained in his heart, what a strange woman.

"Mr. Prime Minister, what brings you here today?"

Chu Xiaoran came to the hall, passed by Shi Yinsheng, sat in the main seat, and spoke in a light voice.

Both of them were wearing white clothes today. Yan Boxi jumped back and forth between them, and then felt glad that his master was not there.

"Your Highness, I never come to your palace without a reason. I'm here today to discuss something with you."

"Mr. Prime Minister, what do you have to tell me?"

Chu Xiaoran frowned in some confusion, and his beautiful eyes fell on Shi Yinsheng's face. She always wore this mask. How many people in this world have seen her true face?

"Your Highness, His Majesty has become suspicious of Miss Nan."

Auntie is suspicious of Jin Ming? Is she doubting her identity?

Chu Xiaoran seemed to have something in his heart that had thrown him off balance, and he was so flustered that he didn't know what to do.

"Did Auntie say anything?"

"Your Majesty summoned me to the palace yesterday to inquire about this matter. Princess, rest assured, I have not told Your Majesty about Miss Nan's true identity. I came here today to do business with Your Majesty."

Chu Xiaoran knew that he had gained nothing now. Even if this group of people came to visit him, they just wanted to have some connection with his identity as a princess. However, the prime minister in front of him was the first to come to his house in such a long time.

So what exactly is she up to?

"What is the purpose of the Prime Minister helping me like this?"

Shi Yinsheng raised the corners of her lips and revealed a meaningful smile. The silvery-white clover flowers on her face looked a little weird and evil.

"I have just told Your Highness the Princess that I came here today to discuss a deal with you. If you agree, the two of us will be tied together. We will prosper together and suffer together."

Chu Xiaoran clasped his hands together and sat on the chair with his back straight. He actually couldn't come up with an idea. Now that Nan Jinming was not by his side, he had no way to give an answer to the person in front of him.

"Why don't you tell me what this business is, Prime Minister?"

"Your Highness must have heard that the Yu Kingdom values ​​the emperor's bloodline the most. If you are contaminated with other unclean bloodlines, you will definitely be punished. So in the past few hundred years, no matter what, the throne must belong to the Xiahou family."

Chu Xiaoran nodded: "I have heard about this matter from them, but my aunt is still young and will have children sooner or later. So what do you want from me?"

Shi Yinsheng's eyebrows curved, and he stretched out his hand to touch the edge of the cup, rubbing his fingertips. He looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of him who seemed too innocent, and then he spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, I just came back and I don't know much about the affairs of the palace. The reason why your Majesty has not had any children for so many years is because of her body defect. That's why Lord Feng has never been pregnant."

"What did you say? Is it because of my aunt that they have no children?"

Shi Yinsheng nodded. Only she and the emperor knew about this matter. No one else knew. But she was able to tell it today because she wanted to reach an agreement with Chu Xiaoran in front of her.

"Only the three of us know about this matter today. I'm sure Her Highness will tell Miss Nan as well, right? But it doesn't matter. In fact, when Her Highness recognized her ancestry, she had already caused some trouble to His Majesty."

"So Auntie wants to get rid of me?"

"Your Majesty has always valued blood ties and would definitely not do such a cruel thing to the princess."

"So what do you mean by saying this? Are you trying to sow discord between me and my aunt?"

"Your Highness, you don't know."

Shi Yinsheng stopped what he was doing and stood up with his tall and slender figure in the front hall. The gorgeous clothes he was wearing had silver-white embroidery on them, and one could tell at a glance how luxurious the clothes were.

"The most important thing for Yu State is bloodline. When His Royal Highness the eldest prince left Yu State, he thought that His Majesty would be able to take charge of the overall situation. But who could have thought that after so many years, the turbulent situation in the court has not yet stabilized."

Chu Xiaoran then understood that the purpose of asking him to participate in the sacrificial ceremony a few days ago was to stabilize the people's hearts.

There has always been a precedent of male emperors in power in Yu State, and it also wants to tell them that the bloodline of the Xiahou family will always exist no matter what.
