"Say it again." Li Zhi had a gloomy face, and his fists were slowly clenched, if it weren't for Li Hao being his friend, if he hadn't respected Li Hao, it was estimated that he would have greeted Li Hao in the face by now.

Li Hao knew that Li Zhi was very angry, but in order to get the child back, he had to stubbornly bow his hand and say: "Your Highness, the one who survived is my child, and your child has died in the fire." ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Li Zhi's breath became a little heavy, he has a good temper, and he rarely gets angry, but this time, he is really angry, very angry, this is his son, although he has a good relationship with Li Hao, but no matter how good the relationship is, two things can't be allowed, and his wife and children can't let him.

Li Hao said: "Back to Your Highness, the ministers know what they are talking about. ”

At this time, the roar of the crown princess Wang suddenly came from the inner room: "Bastard, what a bastard!" Your child is dead, and you actually want to rob my child, full of nonsense! Get lost! Get out of here! ”

Wang came out of the tent almost frantically and kicked away Pei Miao, who was checking her pulse, and Pei Miao got up and hid aside.

"Get out! This palace doesn't need you to heal! Wang pointed at Pei Miao and yelled.

Pei Miao went out obediently, Wang wanted to get up, but his body was weak and he couldn't sit up, he could only sit on the edge of the bed and yelled: "Get out!" Get out of here! Your Highness, is this the gentleman you respect so much? When your own son is dead, you will come and rob yours!" ”

And at this moment, Ziyan, who had been serving beside her, suddenly bent her knees and fell to the ground, trembling all over, and even crying, Wang was stunned when she saw this, and just wanted to drink to make her get up, but she suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her head, and thought of a possibility, so she went to another palace maid and shouted: "Peony, you also go out!" ”

"Yes!" Peony blessed and hurried out.

At this moment, there were only two people left in the inner bedroom, Ziyan and Wang, Wang's face was cold, and he asked in a low voice: "Ziyan, it is the palace and the imperial grandson that you saved, you are honest, the one who survived is the imperial grandson, the child of the palace, right?" ”

"Slaves should be damned!" Ziyan fell to the ground with tears in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, the little emperor and grandson have indeed passed away, and the slave is afraid that the prince and the emperor will be punished, so they privately swap the swaddling clothes of the emperor's grandson and the prince's son." ”

Ziyan originally wanted to hide it, but now that Li Hao has found out and come to the door, she also knows that she can't hide it, so she can only confess it all.

"What......" Wang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Among Li Zhi's wives, there is a Xiao family, the status of the Xiao family is equivalent to the Wang family, they are all from the gate lord clan, and the Xiao family's beauty is better than her, and she was originally favored by Li Zhi, last year, the Xiao family also gave birth to a son Li Sujie for Li Zhi, after having a son, the Xiao family is even more rampant, faintly claiming to be the mistress of the East Palace.

After looking forward to it for so many years, the Wang family finally became pregnant, and gave birth to a boy, that is the grandson of the emperor, she originally thought that she could be a mother and a child, and the tide rose and pressed the Xiao family, but she didn't expect the dream to be shattered so quickly.

The imperial doctor also said that her body is not easy to conceive, and it is the blessing of the Buddha to be able to conceive this child, if she can't conceive in the future, when Li Zhi ascends the throne, she will definitely make Xiao's son the crown prince, and at that time, the entire harem may not have her part in speaking.

Thinking of this terrible consequence, Wang's whole body began to tremble, she put on her shoes, walked quickly to the side of the crib with all her might, looked at the child who had just been put to sleep, her heart struggled, she said to herself over and over again: "I can't let Xiao's son be the prince, absolutely can't, must not ......"

So, she was angry in her heart, and she turned around and walked quickly to Ziyan's side, helped her stand up, helped her wipe away her tears, and said with a serious face: "Ziyan, listen to this palace, later, you must prove that this child is from this palace, have you heard?" ”

"Huh?" Ziyan was stunned when she heard this, and then said, "But, Niangniang ......"

"No, but!" Wang Shi glared at the phoenix eyes, and whispered majestically, "This palace only said once, even if you die, you must prove that this child is this palace's for this palace, otherwise...... Not only does this palace leave you dead without a place to be buried, your brother and sister-in-law, your nephews, and your parents, they will all die! Do you understand! ”

"Listen...... I understand, this child is the mother's. Ziyan was frightened by her and hurriedly nodded her head again and again.

If she admits her mistakes, she will definitely be punished, and she will be retaliated against by the crown princess, but if she does what the princess says, as long as she is fooled, then she and her family will be fine, this choice, fools know which one to choose.

At the same time, Li Zhi, who was outside the house, said to Li Hao with a cold face: "Okay, sir, you said that the orphaned child is yours, what evidence do you have?" Please provide evidence. ”

Li Hao said: "Your Highness, the palace maid who saved the child and the crown princess knows this matter best, you might as well ask her who this child is." ”

"Good!" Li Zhi turned directly to the inner room and shouted, "Ziyan! Come out! ”

"Yes!" There was a sound in the house, Ziyan slowly walked out of it, and saluted them in turn, only to see that Ziyan's hair had been burned a lot, and there were still some burn marks on her face, but she had already wiped the medicinal wine given by the imperial doctor.

Li Zhi said to Ziyan: "Ziyan, I ask you, is the child in the house the king of Qiongnan?" Or is it lonely? ”

Ziyan hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is naturally the child of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." ”

Li Hao frowned when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "You have to tell the truth!" It is a matter of royal bloodline inheritance, a major matter of the country, there is no room for mistakes, once you are found to be lying, you will be sentenced to death, and your family will also be punished! ”

Li Zhi also frowned when he heard this, and said coldly: "Don't intimidate him, Ziyan, don't be afraid, you are alone here, no one can hurt you in the slightest." ”

Ziyan's heart was trembling, but she pretended to be calm and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, King Qiongnan, what the slave and maid said is the truth, that child is indeed the flesh and blood of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Fart! That's my child! Li Hao glared angrily and shouted, and wanted to step forward to get this palace maid as he spoke.

"Presumptuous!" Li Zhi suddenly stood sideways in front of Li Hao, glared and shouted, "Sir, I respect you as a person and respect you as a teacher, but how can you act so recklessly, do you want to kill witnesses in front of me!" ”

Li Hao was stopped by Li Zhi, anxious and annoyed, at this time, Li Ping suddenly leaned into Li Hao's ear and said in a low voice: "Husband, if you don't come back, pretend to be dizzy, otherwise our relationship with the prince will be stiff." ”

Although Li Hao was unwilling in his heart, he also saw Li Zhi's tough attitude, Li Zhi, who usually seems to be a soft persimmon, is as tough as a stone when he encounters his son's problem, in fact, every man is like this, no matter how cowardly he usually is, he will stand up for his son.

Li Hao raised his head and beat his chest and roared: "My son! Then he opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, and suddenly fell straight to the ground, motionless.

Li Zhi was stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Poor Dao, come and take a look." Pei Miao quickly stepped forward, squatted down to check Li Hao's pulse, and after a long time, Pei Miao frowned and got up, constantly shaking his head.

Li Zhi was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Daochang Pei, it doesn't matter to Mr., right?" ”

Pei Miao sighed: "King Qiongnan is crazy because of excessive grief. ”

"What? Crazy? Li Zhi glared at him when he heard this, and then suddenly said, "No wonder he thinks that my child is his son, it turns out that he is crazy and misses his child so much that he has fantasies?" ”

"Your Highness is wise, that's exactly what it is." Pei Miao arched his hand, frowned and sighed lightly.

"That's good." Li Zhi said anxiously, "Daoist Pei, you have to help save Mr., Lone is willing to pay a lot of money, ah no, Daoist you are an outsider, you don't love things that are blocked, what do you want, just say, Lone must ask my father and do my best to satisfy you." ”

Pei Miao smiled and waved his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness doesn't need to be like this, King Qiongnan and Pei have a great relationship, Pei will naturally do his best to rescue, and, judging from Pei's many years of medical experience, King Qiongnan's madness should not be difficult to treat, and it needs to be recuperated, and then assisted by medicine, and when the sadness in his heart fades, he can be cured." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Li Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that Li Hao had just come to fight with him for a child because he was crazy, he had no resentment in his heart, and he faintly felt that Li Hao was pitiful, and he was crazy because of the pain of losing his son, how sad is this.

Li Ping and Pei Miao said goodbye to Li Zhi, and then Pei Miao carried Li Hao out of the courtyard, there were many special forces waiting outside the courtyard, and when the flying eagle came forward, he saw Li Hao unconscious, and asked in surprise: "What is wrong with the prince?" ”

Li Ping said indifferently: "The prince is fine, he is just sad and unconscious, and he will be able to wake up later." ”

Feiying was relieved and said, "Eldest lady, Abbot Huijing has arranged the current residence of you and the prince in the West Courtyard. ”

Li Ping nodded: "Okay, take us over." ”

When he came to the West Courtyard and entered the room, Li Hao immediately opened his eyes, got off Pei Miao's back, and sighed loudly: "Fortunately, Mrs. and Senior Brother are witty, otherwise we will not only have no children, but the relationship with the prince will also be stiff." ”

Li Ping nodded and sighed, "Husband, you also saw it just now, Hong'er...... We're not coming back. ”

Li Hao was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then raised his head and sighed lightly: "Is this ...... Is it providence? ”

"It's not providence." Pei Miao suddenly said, "This is what the crown princess meant, just now the position where I am standing is closer to the inner room, and I have better ears, I happened to hear the conversation between the crown princess and the palace maid, and the crown princess asked the palace maid to commit perjury." ”

"The crown princess?" Li Hao and Li Ping were stunned when they heard this, and Li Ping asked with doubts on his face, "Is the crown princess crazy?" She knew that this child was not hers, so why did she ......"

"I see." Li Hao suddenly said, "The harem competes for favor, and the mother is expensive by the son." ”

"It should be so." Pei Miao nodded and said, "Although the crown prince is still only the crown prince, these women have begun to compete for favor and prepare for the future." ”

Li Hao thought for a while and said, "That palace maid named Ziyan, she knows too much, I'm afraid that the crown princess won't let her live in this world." ”

Pei Miao said: "She just testified, there should be nothing in the near future, and right now in the Ganye Temple, even if the crown princess wants to kill people, there is no one available." ”

Li Hao nodded: "It seems that when I return to Chang'an City, I have to save the palace maid and send her away." ”

"And her family." Pei Miao reminded, "The crown princess threatened her with the lives of the palace maid and her family. ”

Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I will immediately send Zeng Yulin back to Chang'an, and take the first step to investigate the palace maid's family, madam, it is inconvenient for me to show up now, you can help me call Zeng Yulin in." ”

"Okay." Li Ping nodded, went over to open the door, and called outside, "Where is Mr. Zeng?" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Zeng Yulin suddenly flew off the roof and stood in the courtyard and saluted in the direction of the room.

"Mr. Zeng, please come into the house and talk."

"Yes!" Zeng Yulin strode into the house.

When he saw Li Hao standing there smiling at him, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Lord Wang! You ......"

"Shhhhhhhh......hh ”

"Yes!" Zeng Yulin clenched his fists hard.

Then, Li Ping wrote a letter by hand, put it in an envelope and handed it to Zeng Yulin, who took the letter and said goodbye and left the room.
