The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

The imperial concubine said: "I asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said that even if there is foreign blood, it may not show up in the eyes. It may not be present in this generation, but it will be in the next generation."

At this point, she paused, twitching her lips, her smile not reaching her eyes.

"After Shunzong, who has foreign blood, came to the throne, his children died one after another. Do you think it was all accidents?"

The words woke up the dreamer. The fifth prince shuddered suddenly and stood up. He asked in disbelief: "What does the mother-in-law mean, Shunzong kills——"

The imperial concubine nodded, "I asked from the old eunuch that his master once served Shun Zong. Whenever a concubine in the harem was about to give birth, Shun Zong would have someone prepare a bowl of poison in advance and give it to the concubine immediately after giving birth. She feeds it and waits for the child to open its eyes. If the eye color is different, tell her that she has a stillborn fetus. In fact, she will take it out quietly and kill it. If the eye color is normal, keep it."

The fifth prince stared blankly at the living note in his hand, feeling like he had taken a hot yam.

"So those children with different eye colors died, leaving behind children who looked normal, but in fact they still had alien blood in their bodies, but it was getting thinner and thinner. By my father's generation, there was basically no Another child with green eyes?"

The imperial concubine nodded, "After all, it has been four generations, and the bloodline has been diluted for a long time. However, dilution does not mean that it is not there. Lu Xingyue is the special one."

She looked gloomy and gritted her teeth and said: "Who would have thought that he just happened to inherit the bloodline of Shunzong and was born with a pair of green eyes. I don't know whether he is lucky or unlucky."

Fortunately, Lu Xingyue suffered a lot of criticism and rejection because of his incompatible green eyes.

If it was unfortunate, he was able to successfully live to such an old age because he escaped with these green eyes and dispelled their suspicions.

The imperial concubine laughed as she thought about it. After laughing for a while, she gritted her teeth and said harshly: "No matter what, Lu Xingyue can't stay."

Not only were they wary of his family background and abilities, but if his identity was exposed, the events of that year would inevitably be uncovered and re-examined. If they were found on her, neither Duke Rong nor the Queen would let it go. Her hand was stretched too long. Emperor Hui'an couldn't tolerate her!

The fifth prince also thought of this, and he clenched his hands tightly, as if trying to hold on to his lost power.

He and the imperial concubine looked at each other and said solemnly: "I need to borrow a knife now."

The imperial concubine chuckled, "We are not the only ones who are afraid of Lu Xingyue. If people know that he might be the prince..."

The fifth prince narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "My son understands."

On March 20th, the prince had a rare leisure time and was dining with the princess, when his confidants suddenly came in in a hurry.

"Your Highness." He glanced at the Crown Princess and said nothing.

The princess understood and said to the prince: "Your Majesty, go and do your work. I can just eat by myself."

The prince glanced at her hesitantly, touched her belly and said warmly: "Then eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Okay." The Crown Princess smiled gently and watched him leave.

The prince took his confidants to the study and asked impatiently: "Why do you have to talk about it at this time?"

The confidant said anxiously: "This is a very urgent matter!"

Upon seeing this, the prince sat down and tapped his fingertips on the table, "Say."

"Aren't the secret guards keeping an eye on Lu Xingyue? They discovered that Lu Xingyue has been very close to Qin Wangshu recently, and they often meet at the teahouse."

"Qin Wangshu?" The prince narrowed his eyes, "Why did you see him?"

"My subordinates were also curious, so they asked people to keep an eye on Qin Wangshu, and found that he was checking a villa."

"A villa? Whose villa?"

The prince's heart moved and he leaned forward slightly.

The confidant whispered: "Rong Guo Gong."

"Oh?" The prince became interested, "Lu Xingyue asked someone to check on me? What do you think?"

The confidant shook his head, "My subordinates intuitively felt that there was something going on here, and thought that they might be able to use this to control Lu Xingyue. However, they did not expect that as they investigated more and more deeply, they discovered that there was a big secret hidden in that village! The younger sister of Duke Rong Guo. Lu Yanning once lived in Biezhuang for a year, and it is suspected that she gave birth to a child there!"

"What did you say?!"

The prince stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "Child?"

What did he think of? His eyes widened suddenly, "You mean - Lu Xingyue is Lu Yanning's son?"

The confidant nodded, "Your Highness, you might as well think about it. If this were not the case, how could Duke Rong and his wife give birth to a son with green eyes?"

The prince was silent for a moment, then clasped his hands and laughed, "I never expected that Lu Xingyue would be a bastard born without a matchmaker!"

The breath that had been blocked for so many days was suddenly released, and it was nothing more than feeling proud.

However, he smiled, and his confidant's expression became even heavier.

The prince slowly stopped smiling, "What?"

The confidant gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down.

The prince's eyelids twitched suddenly.

"My subordinates asked people to check along the line of Lu Yanning. According to the time of her pregnancy, she was suddenly sent back when the majesty went to the palace. After she was sent back, she was strictly guarded and did not let her go. People approach.”

The confidant's teeth are about to be shattered. He wishes he could say it directly, but he dare not say it directly.

The prince was confused at other times, but at this time he was smarter than anyone else.

He stared at his confidant in disbelief, "You say it again? What do you mean?"

The confidant kowtowed to the ground and said bravely: "Back then, Lu Yanning went to the palace for a banquet and left from the empress."

The prince took a step back, his broad sleeves brushed against the pen holder, causing the entire pen to fall over, and the brushes "crackled" all over the table.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with the Queen Mother?" The prince retorted sharply, "Don't mention this matter again!"

Confidant: "...Your Highness, Lu Xingyue's identity is unknown. If we leave him alone, it will be too late if something unexpected happens in the future!"

"Shut up, I told you to shut up!" The prince suddenly broke down and picked up the brush on the table and threw it at his confidant.

The confidant did not hide, let the brush hit his face and body, and just knelt there in silence.

For a moment, the only thing left in the study was the prince's rapid breathing.

After a while, he seemed to have exhausted his last strength. He put his hands on the table and bent down. He asked in an unsteady voice: "Who else knows about this?"

"Currently, only my subordinates and a few secret guards responsible for the investigation know about it. I have not leaked anything. Please give me your instructions."

The prince closed his eyes, and the veins on his forehead trembled. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Check. Keep checking! I don't believe that the royal family can give birth to something with green eyes!"

If you don’t believe me, why bother checking?

The confidant thought so in his heart, but did not dare to say it and kowtowed in agreement.

The prince's secret guard worked very efficiently. With the fifth prince and the noble concubine deliberately pushing the situation, they quickly found the "Daily Notes".

After reading it, the prince felt like he was struck by lightning, and he didn't leave the study door for a whole day.

In the evening, he asked someone to bring wine, and he got drunk by himself. He didn't wake up until the next afternoon. After waking up, he tidied up and finally said something useful: "Go and send a message to the Marquis Mingying's mansion. I want to treat the Marquis to a meal." liquor."
