The undercover agent sent by the imperial court

"I want to ask you something." Huang Puwen got up, "But it seems that I came at an inconvenient time."

Ling Xuan shouted to stop Huang Puwen who was about to leave, "Brother Huang, I have something to do, can I find you in Chen Xuandian later?"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at Chen Xuandian."

Seeing Huang Puwen leave, the queen mother smiled lightly, "What's the matter, it's the first time I see you talking so bluntly."

"Mother." Ling Xuan smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's hard to say this, so don't make fun of me."

"Really?" The Empress Dowager took off the jewelry on her hand, and gently held Ling Xuan's hand with her well-maintained hands, "Hands are cold, why don't you bring a hand stove?"

"Forgot." Ling Xuan moved his hands and said.

"Then let the queen mother guess which family's lady you like?" the queen mother asked with a smile.

"It's not la." Ling Xuan said helplessly, "I told you not to make fun of me."

"That's your brother's business? What's the matter?" The queen mother said while warming Ling Xuan's hand, "It's rare for you two to have trouble, the queen mother guesses."

"What's the matter with you again?" The queen mother smiled dotingly, "Your imperial brother has always been spoiling you, so what happened to you alone?"

"It's not my problem this time." Ling Xuan held back the Queen Mother's hand, "I just care a little bit, Queen Mother, is blood really that important?"

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" The Queen Mother asked calmly, "What did your courtiers say again?"

"Why would I care about what they say?" Ling Xuan breathed out, "What does the queen mother think, she always loves me more than the emperor's brothers and mother, why? Aren't we all the queen mother's children?"

"Of course it's because Xuan'er is cuter." The queen mother comforted Ling Xuan lovingly, "Although it's strange, Xuan'er is cuter in the eyes of the queen mother."

"Isn't it because." Ling Xuan looked at the queen mother quietly, "Isn't it because the emperor's brother is not the queen mother's child?"

"Even if they were brought up by the queen mother, they are not my own children, so I don't like it." Ling Xuan pulled out his hand, "I didn't mean to blame the queen mother, but today, I got the relic from the father's relics." Found this."

What I took out from my arms was a black package, "Father wrote some things in it, and I found out that the reason why the mother has always disliked the emperor's brother is because he is born of a concubine."

Unwrapping the package revealed the familiar black cover, "I originally wanted to burn it, but not only could it not be burned, but I also discovered something."

"So it's this." The queen mother paused slightly and said, "Your brother has been looking for this too."

"Brother Huang doesn't want me to see the contents." Ling Xuan wrapped it back again, "Ziyan is also looking for who his real father is."

"A kid from the Chu family." The queen mother smiled, "The younger generation is really getting bolder recently, is the prime minister treating him badly?"

"It's not a good relationship." Ling Xuan put the package aside, "After reading it, I have been thinking about a question."

"Even if we are not brothers, so what? Why does the emperor want to hide this news so much? Why does the mother admit that the emperor is her child even if she doesn't like him?"

"Even when she was enthroned back then, the queen mother was so angry but she still didn't say anything."

"Father must love the queen mother very much, otherwise he would not only like me as a prince. If the emperor brother is also the queen mother's child, he would not be so distinguished."

The queen mother looked at Ling Xuan and sighed slightly, stepped forward to hug Ling Xuan, "I just don't want you to be sad, so I don't say it."

"I don't understand, why is that so?" Ling Xuan hugged the Queen Mother and asked, "If that's the case, why did Brother Huang say such things?"

one-one-one-one

"Zi Che, we are the only brothers in this world."

"The others are also the children of the father, aren't they our brothers?"

"Zi Che is so smart in other places, why is he so stupid at this time, we are not brothers from the same mother."

"Is it the distinction between concubine and concubine?"

"Of course, otherwise, why does the emperor only like us?"

"So it's because of this?"

"Zi Che, you have to remember, only I am your elder brother."

"Well, I know."

Brother, what kind of mood do you use to say such words, now I don't understand.

one-one-one-one

In the end, I left the things with the queen mother, but in the end, I still didn’t understand why the queen mother wanted to hide this matter, so she was driven out by the heater, “The emperor is still waiting for you in Chen Xuandian. It's just you, go."

Did Brother Huang know that we are not blood brothers when he said those words?Ling Xuan was thinking as he walked towards Chen Xuandian, he didn't know it, he probably only knew it after reading the book after he ascended the throne, and now thinking about it after that, something seems wrong.

"My lord." The eunuch followed Ling Xuan and called out, "Please get on the sedan chair."

"I still have something to do, so I don't need to follow." Ling Xuan impatiently waved his hand to signal these people not to follow.

The eunuch remained silent and did not make another sound.

Chen Xuandian is the palace where the emperor used to invite officials. He would choose this place because the journey is relatively quiet. "Brother Emperor, what are you looking at?"

Huang Puwen closed the document and put it aside casually, "It's just that I have something to deal with recently, what's the matter?"

"Brother Huang, is he still looking for that book?" Ling Xuan asked as he put the stove aside.

Huang Puwen's hands trembled, "Zi Che is talking..."

"I said that book with a black cover, I just gave it to my mother." Ling Xuan took off his cloak and threw it on the chair.

"Just now I wondered what made you deliberately bypass me to ask the Queen Mother, and it really is." Huang Puwen sighed, "Have you read it?"

"Well, I've read it all." Ling Xuan walked to the case calmly, "What did Brother Huang think? After finding out that we are not biological brothers?"

"The first reaction is to hide it from you. After all, I was the one who instilled this idea, but in the end, the retribution fell on me."

"Sure enough, Brother Huang didn't know about this from the beginning." Ling Xuan looked at Huang Puwen with his head down.

"But I should have thought of it when the book was lost. No one can steal it except you." Huang Puwen sighed, "But you have never seen it before, so I thought I could get it back. Come."

"I really don't understand why the emperors of all dynasties are so willful. Is there any need to write this kind of thing specifically?"

"It's even worse if you can't burn it after writing it, isn't it?" Ling Xuan calmly took up the topic, "But what I still don't understand is, is blood relationship really that important to you?"

"It's very important. If I'm not a brother, what right do I have to take care of your affairs?" Huang Puwen finally raised his head to look at Ling Xuan. Brother, unlike the first prince who doesn't pay attention to you, who is only a polite brother when you meet him."

"It's a real brother."

Ling Xuan tilted his head and looked outside Chen Xuandian. The open door showed the cleaned ground and the sunlight, and there was no trace of winter at all. Time?"

"That's how I found out that the Prime Minister is not Chu Ziyan's father. Can the person who raised him be abandoned because of this?"

"But why, brother, you care so much about this matter, I really don't understand." Ling Xuan frowned and looked at Huang Puwen, "Ever since this book, Brother Huang has been hiding from me and compromising. Did your mother raise some conditions just now, did you care about these before?"

"My brother never restricted me from going out, but why do you always look like you want to lose me every time I go out?"

"Just because we're not a mother?"

"Zi Che." Huang Puwen stood up, "That's not the reason!"

"What's that for!" Ling Xuan slapped the table and stared at Huang Puwen, "It's all the same from beginning to end! Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing! If you don't care, then forget it, why do you want to hide it when you care so much!"

"I just care about you so much that I don't want to tell you!" Huang Puwen suddenly reached out and hugged Ling Xuan who was across the table, "We are brothers, it doesn't matter if you don't want to be emperor, you can do whatever you want, That's the only thing I don't want you to know."

"Which idiot made the rule that it's not the same mother or brother!" Ling Xuan unceremoniously reached out and knocked on Huang Puwen's head, and then grabbed Huang Puwen's collar, "Although I already know that brother, your brain is stronger Not me, but it's eye-opening to be so hopelessly stupid."

"It's actually easy to understand." Huang Puwen suddenly laughed, "Isn't it because that person is you?"

Ling Xuan let go with a shake of his hand, "Well, it's one of the reasons, even if you say so."

"I swear I have nothing else to hide." Huang Puwen raised his hand, "Ah, except for the Empress Dowager."

"Tsk." Ling Xuan pushed Huang Puwen aside and sat on the dragon chair in displeasure, "Okay, I just happen to be free today, so let me listen to it."

Huang Puwen looked at Ling Xuan who suddenly became arrogant and sighed. Sure enough, his lovely brother was gone forever, "I started to read this book after I ascended the throne, but it was a pity that it couldn't be destroyed, and then it was stolen. "

"Please pay attention to your wording." Ling Xuan changed his posture, put his right leg on his left leg and supported his cheek, and said, "I took it away in a fair way, but no one cared."

"After being taken away, the queen mother also found out about it, but she didn't seem to care." Huang Puwen rubbed his forehead, "She never said that I am not her child, only her brother is also her I really don't understand."

"So the queen mother said it?" Ling Xuan sat up, "It's quite good."

You were still calling me an idiot just now, Huang Puwen glanced at Ling Xuan and continued, "But I often make some very strange requests."

"This is called mother's love. Mother's love. Children like my brother will not understand, mother's love." Ling Xuan lay back and waved his hands again, "Well, let's do this first, I have another thing Things have to be determined."

Huang Puwen breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, when is it going to happen? Young Master."

"Didn't I say it before?" Ling Xuan moved to make room, patted the empty space beside him and said, "After Chu Ziyan knew that the Prime Minister was not his father, he wanted to find out who his real father was. , although I don’t think it’s possible, but does Brother Huang know?”

"Chu Ziyan's father?" Huang Puwen frowned and thought for a while, "A descendant of Chu Huai?"

"Improbable." Ling Xuan crossed his hands behind his head and said, "If it's a descendant of Chu Huai, the time is not right."

"If it's the father, he should know more than me." Huang Puwen said sincerely, "Although I know that there is such a person, but if I want to know, I still can't do it."

"Sure enough." Ling Xuan stood up, "Then let's talk to him."

Before he was about to leave, Ling Xuan suddenly turned around, "I have already burned that book, and the cover is at the queen mother's place. If there is anything else, I will talk about it when I come back."

"Okay." Huang Puwen sat on the dragon chair and waved with a smile.

Looking very happy, Ling Xuan turned and left. It is really helpless to have such a big brother in the family, but now I have to do a more important thing.

"Chu Ziyan." After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, he kicked Chu Ziyan's room away. Ling Xuan turned around and didn't see anyone, then he pulled a servant over and asked, "Where is the person?"

"In the backyard."

"Chu Ziyan, I asked my brother, and he said he didn't know." Ling Xuan opened the backyard door and saw two people admiring the snow. Xuan didn't understand.

"Your Excellency." After greeting the Prime Minister, Ling Xuan slightly turned to look at the courtyard.

Chu Ziyan was stunned for a moment and chuckled, "Did you ask me to wait and go to your brother first?"

"That's what happened." Ling Xuan was not polite, picked a seat and sat down.

"What are you two doing?" The prime minister looked at them suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Ling Xuan spread his hands, "What I want to talk about is a book left by the late emperor."

"The first emperor still left a book?" The prime minister frowned, "It must be about you again, isn't it enough to leave an imperial decree and leave a book?"

"Don't talk about the imperial decree." Ling Xuan waved his hand awkwardly, the imperial decree that allowed Ling Xuan to replace the emperor when he was unkind is still buried somewhere underground.

"It's a book about the emperors of all dynasties." Chu Ziyan took the words calmly, "Father, am I a descendant of the Chu family?"

The prime minister suddenly put down his teacup and sighed, "So it was because of this matter. Indeed, you are not my child. I have never married a wife in my life and naturally I have no children. It was Chu Huai who suddenly appeared and handed you over to me."

"Then who is my father?" Chu Ziyan asked seriously, calmed down without being excited or losing his demeanor.

"I'm not familiar with Chu Huai. He said that the son of an old man was unable to protect him, so he took the risk to send me here." The prime minister shook his head, "I'm not familiar with him, but he forcibly put down the child and left, and I can't."

"Who sent him here?" Ling Xuan raised his head and asked.

"I don't know." The prime minister shook his head regretfully.
