The moment Song Mingcheng shouted, the falling sharp blade stopped in mid-air.

Xia Chun, who was standing aside, looked expressionless, and his heart was already in turmoil. At this moment, his mood was no less complicated than the day he found out that the emperor was pregnant.

He looked at the left prime minister who used to be proud in the past, but was extremely embarrassed at this moment, and couldn't help but glance at the handsome young man lying there.Today was actually the first time he saw the real face of the emperor's lover, not to mention, after a closer look, the father and son really looked alike.Looking over, looking over, Xia Chun happened to meet Ling Yi's gaze, immediately lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows and looked at the tip of his shoe obediently, pretending that he was actually deaf and dumb.

The emperor condescendingly looked at Zuo Cheng, whom he had always loved, and sat down slowly in the almost condensed atmosphere. He sat on the edge of the bed where Song Zi was lying, but he did not throw away the extremely sharp scimitar in his hand. Turning around, the end of the back of the knife was tightly placed on Song Mingcheng's neck: "Speak."

The cold blade was just against the skin of his neck, it seemed that the next moment the Son of Heaven turned his face and moved an inch in, his head would fall to the ground immediately.Song Mingcheng's hot sweat turned into cold sweat. He adjusted his kneeling position, moved his Adam's apple, and swallowed to moisten his dry throat. He looked up at the emperor in such a restrained posture, trying to express himself at this moment His sincerity: "I'm guilty. I shouldn't have learned that my son Song Zi was messing around half a month ago. He changed his name behind my back and entered the Criminal Trial Division. He committed such a serious crime, but he pretended that he could take care of everything and hide His Majesty's dissatisfaction." report."

Admit your mistake first, and roll your name. I know that Song Zi has another identity for more than a month, and it is not intentional for Song Zi to get close to the emperor.

Song Mingcheng turned his face slightly: "Some things, I don't know whether to say them or not."

The emperor's expression did not change because of this: "Say."

The guards are all outside, and they are all insiders who stay here to serve Song Zi, so there is nothing that cannot be said.

Song Mingcheng licked his chapped and peeling lips, and every word he said would not step on the red line in the emperor's heart: "My son is naughty, he told me that he has a sweetheart before more than a month ago, and the sweetheart is still in the palace and pregnant. Begging me to help him find a way to bring out his sweetheart..."

When he said this, he took a peek at the emperor's expression. Although Sima Yan's expression didn't look the same as before, Song Mingcheng still noticed that the latter's mood should be improving by virtue of his years of observing words and expressions.

He went on to say: "At that time, the minister was furious and threatened to use the family law to beat this evil person to death."

When he said this sentence, the blade of the knife against his neck got closer, and Song Mingcheng sped up his speech: "But he asked his mother to stop him in time! Madam said, she gave birth to this baby through all kinds of hardships back then." One son and one daughter, if I dare to break my son's legs, she will not live with me. I have done wrong for many years and owed my son's debt. The guilty minister thought, I have been with my wife for many years, and there is only one son, I really can't bear it..."

When talking about this, Song Mingcheng glanced at Ling Yi: "I knew about it at that time, and I planned to talk to Director Ling about it. If Director Ling remembered, he could testify for me. That day I also wrote my name on the registry of the Judiciary Division, and I was greeted by a gray-haired, Huainan accent, surnamed Tong, and I asked him about the situation of the unworthy son Song Zi."

If he had known it a long time ago, then he would not have needed to know the details of Song Zi from others. For the first time, he was glad that he had gone to the Interrogation Division to show Song Jingxiang.

Ling Yi has no enmity with Song Mingcheng, so naturally he would not lie: "Yes, Prime Minister Zuo did come to the Judiciary that day, but it was not about Song Xiaoqi, but about the rumors about the emperor in Beijing. It has something to do with Zuo Xiangai Daughter."

Thinking of Geng Qi's hint of winking at him that day, Ling Yi's expression was still a little subtle. He suppressed his displeasure at Song Zi's disguise, and said in a restrained and calm tone: "At that time, Master Song also inquired about the sinner's According to the situation, it seems that he intends to act as a matchmaker for the minister."

He said: "The minister is also guilty of failing to examine Zi's situation in the Qing and Song Dynasties, and letting him enter the palace."

Song Mingcheng couldn't help but shout loudly when he heard this: "Even if my son is not easy to tolerate, he can still enter the palace."

Aware of the ambiguity in this sentence, he lowered his voice: "Isn't his mother Princess Ming'an? My daughter Song Jing and my son Song Zi also entered the palace to accompany the concubine when they were two or three years old, but they never fought with His Majesty. Face to face. It’s just Song Zi, it’s Xiao Qi who was frightened when he was eight years old and fell into the water. After waking up, he became very timid. Ah Jing wanted to stay with her younger brother, and she hasn’t been with their mother since then We entered the palace together, so Xiao Qi doesn't know His Majesty's identity and appearance."

He doesn't even know his identity, how can he talk about approaching deliberately, a little luthier in the cold palace, what's worth the Zuoxiang and the son of the princess being so laborious and exhausting.

Ling Yi couldn't listen anymore: "If you say that your son is cowardly, there are probably no courageous people in this world."

Song Zi is so capable, he sneaked into his interrogation division, and even became the emperor's guest, not only that, but he also made the emperor's belly absurdly, one month has passed since the day he learned the news More than enough, but Ling Yi will never forget his feeling of being struck by lightning in his life.

"It's a long story. After he got sick, his aura was no longer what it used to be. I was too strict with him and had too high expectations. I always compared him with his sister, saying that he was not as good as her sister."

Song Mingcheng smiled wryly and said: "To be honest, if I'm not afraid of people making fun of me, this kid was forced by me to take the two-year imperial examination when he was ten or thirteen years old, but because he was too nervous, he fell directly on the examination room, making him laugh." When the man was carried back, I suppressed the news at that time, so as not to let the dog's reputation of cowardice spread throughout the capital, but His Majesty wanted to investigate, and he was sure to be able to find out. The princess felt sorry for the child, so she didn't let the child enter the examination room, the minister thought Maybe it's the minister's repeated reprimands that gave this child the idea of ​​making a career on his own, thinking that in the future, he will stand in the court hall with the minister in a fair and honest manner, and slap him in the face."

Song Mingcheng said: "For many years, I have only one son and one daughter. It is a big lie to say that I have never sent my daughter into the palace to compete for the throne, but I only think that my son can inherit the mantle and continue Song family incense, the first time I heard that he insisted on spending time with a man, I almost passed out out of breath."

He looked at Ling Yi again, and snorted coldly: "At that time, this evil person forced me to find a son-in-law for his sister, and also said that Chief Ling Yi, who cared for him, was beautiful, had no father and no mother, young and promising, It matches my sister very well."

The left chancellor, who looked quite old, said with an indescribable face: "At that time, the right prime minister deliberately contributed to the flames. It happened that the daughter was at the age of the draft. The minister's wife loves her daughter, but the minister can't resist the order and disrespect. What does the dog say that Director Ling treats His Majesty? Loyal and loyal, if you can make his elder sister a husband-in-law, His Majesty is loving, and will definitely not do such a thing as taking the wife of a subject."

What Song Zi said about the prophetic dream of rebellion, he must never confide a word, from his self-exploding identity to the present, every word he said is a big truth that can be corroborated, but every sentence is quite skillful He was trying to excuse himself and Song Zi.

The emperor finally opened his mouth: "When you saw the purple bracelet in spring, you already knew my identity."

"The minister knew about it earlier than that day." When Song Mingcheng saw the emperor cutting his hand to feed his son blood without hesitation, he realized that he had underestimated the emperor's friendship with Song Zi. Decided to be bolder, "At that time Gouzi came home and said some nonsense that his sweetheart was pregnant. The minister only took him as a joke and chased him to enforce the family law. In order to win the trust of the minister, he drew a portrait of His Majesty, which is called Weichen. I tore it into pieces and ordered him not to talk nonsense. From that day on, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night, not knowing what to do. Later, when I saw me...seeing the bracelet on His Majesty's hand, I still couldn't accept the relationship between His Majesty and the dog for a while. relationship between."

Listen, it is very difficult for normal people to accept that their son is getting together with the emperor. He Song Mingcheng worked hard and climbed up step by step. It was a misunderstanding, but after he knew about the misunderstanding, he was terrified and eager to love his son, so he didn't dare to tell the emperor for a while, even though he was deceiving the emperor, it was understandable.

Speaking of this, he, who is the emperor's father-in-law, didn't dare to tremble. He only hoped that the emperor would take care of the old friendship, but Song Mingcheng didn't know how far he would put it.

A drop of sweat slid down Song Mingcheng's forehead, wet his eyelashes, and a drop fell on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, Sima Yan glanced at Song Zi who was already unconscious, and finally broke the strange situation with a sound. There was an unbearable silence: "Song Aiqing has worked hard, untie him, and give him a seat."

The emperor not only gave a seat, but also rewarded Song Mingcheng with a cup of tea to quench his thirst.The latter stretched his red wrist, wiped the cold sweat from his startled face with a handkerchief, took a sip of tea, and heard the emperor say: "I remember, Princess Ming'an gave birth to twins."

Song Mingcheng nodded quickly: "Yes, the little girl and the dog were born less than half an hour apart, and they are twins."

The emperor didn't speak, and only traced the outline of his lover with his pale fingers that had lost all color.

Song Mingcheng put aside the tea cover, took another sip of tea to suppress his shock, and then the tea sprayed out of his mouth and nasal cavity, because the emperor said: "Song Aiqing is indeed guilty of serious crimes, deceiving the emperor and committing crimes should be a death penalty for the nine clans. "

Song Mingcheng's mind was running at high speed, and he wanted to open his mouth and shout: Jin's national law didn't say that bullying the king will punish the nine clans!Moreover, he was a first-rank member anyway, and the crimes he committed would not be so serious.But the Son of Heaven has always said the same thing, the so-called emperor wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Now there is a real rebellion. As long as the emperor wants to, he can even be labeled as colluding with the rebels and participating in the rebellion.At that time, not only will he be condemned to death, but he will also be left with a bad reputation for thousands of years.

"I have a way to save the Song family from the great crime of deceiving the emperor." Sima Yan turned his face, and Song Mingcheng had never seen a kind face, "As long as the Song family produces a queen, Song Aiqing will become the king of the dynasty." Duke, I have become one of the nine clans of the Song family, this crime can be avoided, what does Ai Qing think of this method?"

Song Mingcheng: ...does he have the right to refuse?
