In the evening, Liu Tai went out of the palace, got into the carriage of Du's residence, and returned to Du's house. Du Rulin also came back very rarely. The fifth prince was scolded and let everyone go home. The people were sent out of the house, and the carriages were sent to take them home.

At night, Liu Tai asked Du Rulin and Qiuyou to talk about what happened in the palace during the day, and Du Rulin knew why he was suddenly sent out of the fifth prince's mansion. It turned out that the fifth prince was trained by the emperor, but when the fifth prince returned, he still brought With a warm smile, it seems that he is in a good mood, and there is nothing wrong with it!

Hmm... he really is a very thoughtful master.Du Rulin thought to himself.

Liu Tai seemed to have something on his mind, Du Rulin asked, and Liu Tai replied naively, telling his two friends about his doubts.

"You mean, the emperor doesn't intend to pass on the throne to any prince!" Qiu You was stunned, what kind of magical operation was this, isn't he afraid that after he controls Bintian, the world will be in chaos? !Oh, that's right, there can't be chaos, the third prince is no longer the opponent of the fifth prince, at most the fifth prince forcibly enthroned.

Liu Tai held his chin and sighed deeply, "Anyway, I look like him, and he is not in good health recently. I look scared, but he doesn't feel it. Tell me, in case there is something, the position of prince Undecided, the best outcome would be chaos in the capital!"

Liu Tai didn't speak for a long time, "Are you sure the emperor doesn't want to pass the throne to the fifth prince?"

"Yes, not only the fifth prince, but he is also very indifferent to the third prince. From what I can see, the emperor is indifferent to the third prince, hates the fifth prince, and quite dotes on the eighth prince, but it's just a dote, and doesn't care about him. It means being raised as an heir, and I don't know what he is thinking."

Du Qingchen took some snacks and knocked on the door of the study. When he entered, he saw the three of them sitting together with sad faces, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Du Rulin told about today's events, Du Qingchen nodded slightly, not surprised.

"Brother Du, what do you think we should do? Rulin is with the fifth prince, Liu Tai is with the eighth prince, or... I might as well go to the third prince." Qiu You suddenly thought.

Du Qingchen only felt a heart attack, almost blocked, turned his head and said, "Don't make trouble, good boy."

The third prince is about to go back to the frontier with Jiang Chuan to stay and fly together, so why not go to him!Nowadays, there are only the eighth prince and the fifth prince who still have the conditions to seize the heirloom. One is favored by the emperor, and the other is powerful and intelligent.

"Brother, who do you think will succeed?" Du Rulin asked in a low voice.He is not like Liu Tai who is only worried about the future of the country. He also needs to consider their current position and try to avoid possible dangers.

"Fifth prince." Du Qingchen said.

Liu Tai raised his head, "But, the emperor seems to dislike the fifth prince. If he gets sick one day and feels that he is about to die, an imperial edict to pass the throne to the third prince or the eighth prince..."

"The fifth prince will send troops. Now that Qi Cheng and Jiang Chuan are in his hands, do you think he will just helplessly watch others succeed?"

The three teenagers were stunned, this is okay!This is forcing the palace to rebel!

But seeing Du Qingchen's determined expression, they felt that it was not impossible.

"Then... If the emperor is seriously ill, brother, who do you think he will pass on the throne to as a last resort?" Du Rulin asked slowly, and he also asked the most crucial point.

For the current situation, the emperor will obviously not pass on the throne to any prince when he is healthy, he will only drag it on forever, but what if it is the moment before he dies?If he hadn't been sick and confused at that time, and knew that he was going to die, he would have written the imperial edict, right?Who will he pass on to? !

Du Qingchen turned to Liu Tai, "What do you think?"

Liu Tai put his hands on his knees, couldn't help clutching his clothes tightly, his knuckles turned white, "He will pass the throne to the Eighth Prince, he only likes the Eighth Prince...but the Eighth Prince can't do it! He's too I'm too young, and I can't even write! It will take at least seven or eight years for a country to cultivate a crown prince, but the emperor seems to be unwilling to train a crown prince, if it depends on the eighth prince himself It will take about ten years at least to grow up and learn by myself, but the emperor... can still..." Can he live that long!

Looking at the emperor, he is already very old. Liu Tai thinks it is still possible in two or three years. Five or six years is considered to be blessed by God. Ten years... is too long. He is already a child who is four or five years old. An old man who can't get up.

Du Rulin bowed his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay." Du Qingchen patted the heads of the teenagers one by one, "Don't think about so many distant things, you haven't even passed the Imperial College entrance exam! It doesn't have much to do with you, do your own things well, other... and me!"

Whether it is Ru Lin or Liu Tai, no matter what kind of trouble they are involved in, he will protect them, otherwise what can they do?Do you want to ask? !

Du Qingchen put down his mind and said, "Only in his position can he find a job. Your task now is to study hard, eat supper and rest early, and see if you can grow taller. If you sleep too late, you won't grow taller."

The three smiled.

"Go to bed early! It's useless for you to think about it. Why don't you take a good look at the test questions from previous years and think about how to take the Imperial College after passing the national filial piety."

"Understood, Brother Du."

Du Qingchen went back to the room, Su Dong had put the child to sleep, Du Qingchen leaned over and put his arms around Su Dong's waist and said, "After Su Nuan gets married, let's go back!"

"Okay!" Su Dong also doesn't like the capital city. Although everything here is prosperous, it always makes him feel anxious and makes him feel precarious. It's not just him. He sees Du Qingchen busy these days, and his brows are often frowned. , seems to be hiding something on his mind, and also feels sad.

"In fact, my father and mother also want to go back to the countryside. They said that they don't know what to do with the land at home. Although they leased it to a fellow villager, my father always kept talking about it. At that time, the ground was full of grass seeds, which could not be pulled out cleanly, or all the fertility was lost, and it took one or two seasons to recover.”

Du Qingchen put his chin on Su Dong's shoulder, and said, "Did Brother Dong ever go down to the ground?"

"I've done it! But I've only done light work, such as pulling weeds and so on. The hard work is done by my father and mother, and brother Nuan also does a lot more than me." Su Dong bowed his head.

"I've never been on the ground before." Du Qingchen has never been on the ground before, and the original body has been naughty since he was a child, and he is good at being lazy. In the early years, Du's father was also a hero like Su's father. He carried it down alone. The brothers of the Du family The two of them were actually brought up with pampering, and the original body naturally did not do these things.

Du Qingchen sighed, "When I go back later, how about my parents let me go to work in the fields?"

When Su Dong heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "You are worried about this!"

"I didn't worry about it at first. You said that your parents wanted to go back to farming, so I started to worry. You and Brother Nuan are brothers, and they are getting older every year. They can't work as hard as they did when they were young. , father and mother are reluctant to part with the land at home, so it's all my job?"

When I think about it, I start to get a headache. You say not to let the old people farm the land!No matter how rich farmers are, they still can't let go of their concerns. The land is their spiritual sustenance. There are many people who want to farm even if they lose money. That kind of land is no longer the land, but the spiritual pillar. Du Qingchen It's not good to stop the old man from planting, maybe, in the end...he really has to help his father-in-law's family to plant land.

I don't know if please help the trade union will be hated by father-in-law and mother-in-law, it should be!After all, the older generation, spending money to hire people to plant land... I'm afraid it's unacceptable, and they will definitely be angry with them.

Su Dong seemed to think of the funny part and laughed.

"You're still laughing!" Du Qingchen raised his hand and pinched Su Dong's face, "When the time comes, you'll be my father-in-law, and you won't talk about business with tens of thousands of taels of silver. The crops are gone, and then the sun is dark, and the waist is sore and backache every day, so you can't straighten up, just wait to feel sorry for me!"

Su Dong turned around, "I'll help you when the time comes! There's Maodan too! Let him help pick the ears of wheat."

"Then don't our family all have to be tanned?" Du Qingchen thought for a while, and felt that this prospect was a bit scary.

The next day, before Du Qingchen left the Du family, Shao Qing and Qi Cheng came together. Jiang Chuan was determined to hang out with them now, but the fifth prince also agreed. After the matter is completed, the third prince will get a title. The fief is where Jiang Chuan fought, and then Jiang Chuan will return to the border and continue to guard the border.

Qi Cheng is just one person, and it is impossible for this huge country to be guarded by him alone. The fifth prince still needs a general like Jiang Chuan, even if he is a local emperor in the frontier, but in other words, whoever it is, God The place where Emperor Gao is far away is not an Emperor of Earth?all the same.Therefore, the fifth prince still supports Jiang Chuan's return to the frontier.

In the study, Shao Qing and Qi Cheng said to Du Qingchen, "Your Highness means that Su Dong's identity can be exposed."

Du Qingchen's heart sank. This matter was revealed to the world. Su Dong was placed in front of others and got involved in all these things. Su's father and Su's mother didn't know how to treat it. In fact, he didn't want to. Du Qingchen's thoughts, but he can't use his own thoughts to make decisions for Su Dong or the Su family. After all, that's their business, and all he can do is respect their right to know and solve their troubles.

"What does Your Highness want to do?" Du Qingchen asked.

Qi Cheng and Shao Qing looked at each other, "Put all the blame for Su Dongsu Nuan's exchange on the nanny, and then prove that Su Dong Su Nuan didn't even know her true identity, and finally let Su Dong Su Nuan Stand up and show that his mother was indeed murdered by Mrs. Hou."

Du Qingchen was silent for a while, "Then what should I do first?"

"Let Su's father and Su's mother know and find out the truth about the change of sons back then. Only the truth can be perfect, self-consistent and invulnerable." Shao Qing said.

Du Qingchen looked up at Qi Cheng, "Do you think so too? It's time for them to know."

Qi Cheng nodded, "Sooner or later we need to know."

Du Qingchen nodded, "Okay, then go ahead and say, although I say I am their son-in-law, Su Dong is not his own after all, your future husband is, and you are their serious son-in-law."

Qi Cheng choked, "You know, they won't believe me, they treat you as family and me as a guest."

Du Qingchen said earnestly, "That's why I want to give you a chance to show off!"

Seeing that Du Qingchen was embarrassing Qi Cheng, Shao Qing hurriedly smoothed things over, "It's really not appropriate for Qi Cheng to talk about it, not to mention that Su's father and Su's mother won't believe him, if he does, I'm afraid it will be in the hearts of the Su family's parents." , buried a thorn forever, thinking of this, I think of Qi Cheng..."

"Sir Shao also understands! So let me, an insignificant outsider, talk about this matter?" Du Qingchen turned to Shao Qing. "Anyway... It doesn't matter if the father-in-law and mother-in-law have knots in their hearts, I'm just an outsider! It's not good to affect Qi Cheng's relationship with them."

Shao Qing choked.

Du Qingchen slammed the table down, stood up and said with a cold face: "Too much bullying!"

"Brother Du!" Qi Cheng and Shao Qing stood up, Qi Cheng raised his hand to stop Du Qingchen, and said, "Then, what does Brother Du want?"

"Let Su Nuan talk about it. No matter who says this, it will leave a thorn in the heart of the father-in-law and mother-in-law. Only their own son can they not mind."

Qi Cheng and Shao Qing looked at each other, Qi Cheng said: "Then let Brother Nuan come in, I'll tell him."

Soon, Su Dong and Su Nuan came together, Su Dong obediently sat beside the dark-faced Du Qingchen, Su Nuan rubbed against Qi Cheng, Shao Qing repeated the matter, Su Nuan didn't hesitate much, and He said, "I'll say what I say, Brother Du is indeed inappropriate."

Seeing that Su Nuan's attitude is still very upright, Du Qingchen's complexion looks better now. As far as possible, no one wants to make him suffer a bit, he has always been like this.

"I'll go too!" Su Dong got up and looked at Su Nuan, "This is between the two of us."

Du Qingchen gave Su Dong a hand, "You don't have to go. At this time, whoever goes to tell the parents, the parents will always remember it, just like a thorn, stuck there, maybe it won't go away forever."

Su Dongdao: "But if I go with Brother Nuan, my parents will most accept it and feel better."

If Su Nuan goes alone, his parents will definitely not believe it first, and then ask them to testify, and then cry bitterly. If he goes alone, his parents will believe it, but they will feel embarrassed and painful. Only he and Su Nuan will go together. Parents will believe it all at once, and with the two of them present to comfort them at the same time, parents will feel better.

Du Qingchen lowered his head, and Shao Qing said, "I think what Su Dong said is reasonable."

"Then it's decided." Su Dong said.
