Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds

In the study, the two sat opposite each other in silence.

Ling Xiao was relaxed, picking up a piece of cake from time to time and eating it, smacking his lips. It tasted really good. His gums were bleeding from chewing dry biscuits these past two days.

On the other hand, Governor Zhao felt very uncomfortable and finally couldn't help asking, "Are you really the daughter of Empress Zhangde? What's the proof?"

He didn't realize that he subconsciously used the honorific. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but the facts were too unbelievable to believe.

When Empress Zhangde died, His Majesty was furious and most of the concubines in the harem were executed. The few survivors also went half crazy.

The imperial concubine who had been favored for many years was strangled to death, Concubine De and Concubine Li were given poisoned wine, and Concubine Xu was tortured to death because she went to see the queen before her death and spoke rudely.

The imperial capital was in turmoil and people were in panic, and countless families were implicated.

Now, more than ten years have passed since the incident, and the name of Empress Zhangde is still a taboo in the former dynasty and the harem.

After so many years of peace, the situation is about to change again when the daughter of Empress Zhangde suddenly appears.

Governor Zhao couldn't help but shudder.

"Why do I need proof? My face is the proof!"

Ling Xiao said slowly, his fingertips running across the flawless face.

"This... people look alike, but words alone are not enough to prove it. Besides, I have never heard that the late queen had a daughter."

Governor Zhao was still making excuses, not wanting to get into trouble.

"Ah"

The graceful and beautiful woman in front of him made undisguised sarcasm and ridicule. Seeing that Governor Zhao's face turned red, she said:

"In the fourth year of Wude, my mother was pregnant. The emperor left a decree directly, declaring that if a boy was born, he would be the crown prince, and if a girl was born, she would be the Princess of Luoyang, and they would be granted 10,000 households. Although he never saw the person, Governor Zhao witnessed it with his own eyes."

This incident was mentioned in the original plot line. Princess Jingning found this dusty edict one day and felt sad.

I feel that Zhao Ruyan is too lucky. Her father has never loved any of his children so much.

So she was in a bad mood, and after Yan Xun took pity on her, the affectionate prince asked the emperor to confer the title of Princess Luoyang on Princess Jingning after he was rewarded for his achievements.

He said that he would make up to his wife for everything she had never gotten.

Then there is another round of lovey-dovey entertainment.

Bah, you scumbag.

"You...how do you know?" After saying this, Governor Zhao understood again that if she was the fetus, she would naturally know about this.

He recalled that he was still very happy that his cousin had escaped to heaven, so he summoned the attendant and wrote this edict in the presence of the governor Zhao.

However, after Empress Zhangde was framed and sent back to her mother's home to reflect on her mistakes, a series of events occurred, the Empress lost her child, and the edict never saw the light of day again.

Ling Xiao said calmly, "It doesn't matter how I survived. What matters is..." She suddenly smiled and said word by word:

"If the emperor knows of my existence, but discovers that Governor Zhao knew about it but kept it a secret, what do you think will happen to you?"

Governor Zhao felt extremely bitter about what the outcome would be. He was involved with the daughter of Empress Zhangde, and it was lucky for him that she died without an intact body. If things went wrong, the Zhao family would be in trouble.

Who made...the current emperor already go crazy!

"You haven't come back for sixteen years. It must be Empress Zhangde's order that you don't want to enter the imperial family again..."

Governor Zhao suddenly said something with a complicated expression. Ling Xiao was completely confused and didn't understand what he was thinking.

If she wasn't sure that the original owner didn't go to recognize her father as a princess, it was because she didn't know at all, otherwise, haha.

"Since you have decided to remain anonymous, why do you want to get involved in this vortex?"

Ling Xiao's heart moved, and he instantly wrote a script in his mind. He lowered his eyes and looked at Governor Zhao with a half-smile on his face:

"After my mother passed away, Concubine Yan became very proud. One of her sons was made the Crown Prince and one of her daughters was made the favored Princess. I'm afraid she has forgotten her good sister. I have to go and remind her."

It's over! Governor Zhao wanted to beat himself to death for talking so meanly just a second ago.

It was said that Concubine Yan and Empress Zhangde had a friendship, and with this she escaped the massacre caused by Your Majesty. Now her position is stable and she is the mother of the Crown Prince.

However, there are so many falsehoods in the palace, who knows what is true or false.

Now the daughter of Empress Zhangde has openly expressed her intention to cause trouble for Concubine Yan. There must be some hidden secrets behind what happened in the past.

But he doesn't want to know these palace secrets!

He also didn't want to get involved in the feud between Concubine Yan's family and Empress Zhangde's daughter.

Can't people even choose to be a salted fish? Zhao Zhishi burst into tears.

Ling Xiao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with amusement, looking like he was about to die in the next second, and then casually said:

"The Prince of Duke Yan has seen my appearance. I heard that Concubine Yan was concerned that my mother's family had no one, so she enshrined my mother's portrait in the Yan family ancestral hall. Do you think Prince Yan recognized me?"

My goodness, things are becoming more and more complicated. If Yan Xun thinks of my identity as a princess and poisons or murders me, how can I end up well?

Governor Zhao felt his scalp tingling and his lips trembling.

After seeing Ling Xiao off, he rushed to the desk without wasting a second and wrote, "Your Majesty personally... Your humble servant Zhao Rui..."

After sealing the letter, he called his confidant and said, "Send this letter to His Majesty, the sooner the better."

As the emperor's cousin and childhood friend, Governor Zhao still had some small privileges. For example, he could submit memorials directly to the emperor without having to go through numerous layers of referrals.

After sending his confidant away, Governor Zhao sighed, "I hope everything goes well and that Prince Yan doesn't find out anything."

Did Yan Xun notice it? He didn’t at first. When Ling Xiao, who had washed his face, first appeared, he just felt that he looked familiar.

But when he got back on the carriage, he felt something was not right the more he thought about it. That face seemed familiar. He had definitely seen it before, and more than once!

When getting off the carriage, the driver said inadvertently, "The prince is too kind-hearted. He sent me back out of kindness, but the governor didn't even say a word of thanks."

There was a flash of lightning, and Yan Xun opened his eyes wide. Something was wrong with the governor. He was obviously surprised and scared. Why would the governor be afraid of his own daughter?

It was just possible that she was not his daughter, but he had to acknowledge her.

Who is this woman? Even a provincial governor born into a noble family must hold his nose and serve as a cheap father.

Only when His Majesty is involved will Governor Zhao be so wary.

Empress Zhangde! After connecting the dots, Yan Xun finally remembered who owned that face.

The evil woman who brought disaster to the country in my father's words, whose portrait was hung in disgrace in the ancestral hall.

"Miss Zhao" looks exactly like Empress Zhangde. It would be impossible for Governor Zhao to present her beauty to Your Majesty.

Yan Xun still remembered that there was an official who guessed the emperor's intention and cleverly collected a woman who looked 70% like Empress Zhangde and presented her to the emperor.

In the end, he was stripped of his official position by the furious emperor, and his family was never allowed to take the imperial examinations again.

"Insulting the Queen" was the crime imposed by the Emperor.

"Then...she is the daughter of Queen Zhangde!" No matter how unbelievable it was, after excluding all possibilities, Yan Xun still came to this conclusion.

It was extremely urgent. The letter from Governor Zhao had just been on the way. Yan Xun delayed for a while and sent people to spy on the Governor's mansion while rushing the letter to the capital.
