Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 134 Zhang Lexuan's true life story? Xu Cheng, no need to make it up, the evidence is irrefutable! (rd update)
"Why do you ask about this?"

Deep inside the imperial palace, inside a magnificent bedroom.

The man in the dragon robe, who was leisurely watering the flower garden, was stunned and looked at Xu Cheng in surprise.

"I'm curious, so I'm asking."

Xu Cheng was not polite at all. He sat on the recliner and took a bite of the shiny grapes.

"You..." The emperor shook his head helplessly, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes, "Okay, everyone go down..."

He beckoned.

"Here"

The chief eunuch and a group of maids bowed and left.

But there was a glimmer of surprise in his eyes as he lowered his head.

He had served the emperor for many years and naturally knew his character well. What he did just now showed that he was in a very good mood and not unhappy at all.

It seems that this eleventh prince is deeply favored by the emperor...

Just like the shadow of Bai Fei more than ten years ago.

……

"Okay, tell me what you want from me."

Xu Zhen sat on the chair on the other side and said with a smile.

"I want to ask, during the palace coup that year, was there any bloodline of our Xu family left outside, a baby girl, about thirty years ago." Xu Cheng said bluntly.

"..."

The smile on Xu Zhen's face froze, he touched his face and sighed softly.

If it were anyone else, and his scars were exposed like this, he would be so terrified that he would instantly become angry, so much so that he has somewhat forgotten the palace coup over the years.

Killing one's brother and usurping the throne is always dishonorable.

But the one who asked this question was Xu Cheng...

The one who launched the palace coup, regardless of her own weakness from having just given birth to a child, and who resolutely stood in front of him when his eldest brother's retainer, a Soul Emperor level, counterattacked at the moment of his death, was the last gift left for him by his first love.

In fact, few outsiders know about it.

When he was studying at the Royal Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire, he met his first love in his life.

Those blood-red eyes, the beautiful girl born in heaven.

At the age of only twenty, she had already broken through to the Soul Emperor, which was an extremely rare existence in the Sun-Moon Empire. Everyone valued her talent at that time, knowing that in the future, she would most likely break through to the Titled Douluo, become a ninth-level Soul Instructor, and stand at the pinnacle of the Sun-Moon Empire.

But because of love, she rejected all the princes' invitations and chose him who was the least favored by the world at that time.

From the time they were desk mates, what were the innocent memories of the boyhood? He couldn't remember clearly.

And these secrets have always been hidden in his heart.

In fact, Xu Cheng has always been his favorite prince, no doubt about it.

From the beginning, he had been keeping an eye on Xu Cheng, but he didn't dare to get too close. He could only be cautious and take a few sneak glances at him from a distance where no one knew.

Because he knew very well that this feeling was honor and joy for the prince who was qualified to compete for the throne.

But for Xu Cheng, a child without a mother and no one to rely on, it was a disaster...

What he didn't expect was that Xu Cheng could get to this point on his own.

Thoughts linger in my mind.

Xu Zhen sighed softly, "In that battle, only my eldest brother's lineage was cut off, and the rest of the descendants are all alive. From what I remember, there is no baby girl among my eldest brother's descendants that fits what you said, and they should all be dead..."

"No, you missed one, Xu He. He is not dead." Xu Cheng said calmly. "And he is on the list of exchange students between Shrek and the Japanese Empire this time."

"Xu He? It's that kid, he looks silly..." Xu Zhen smiled and shook his head, gently casting the fishing hook. "I didn't expect that he could survive such a disaster. If possible, spare his life. After all, he is the last blood of eldest brother." "Why should I be the bad guy?" Xu Cheng shrugged.

"You..." Xu Zhen showed a helpless smile on his face.

He tilted his head and stared at Xu Cheng.

Those red eyes and that handsome look really resemble her back then...

"You haven't answered my question yet." Xu Cheng coughed lightly twice.

He was also a little unsure about this cheap dad.

After all, Aunt Qing said that she and my mother were each other's first love, and she might love me as much as my mother does. But as an emperor, a ruthless man who seeks power and usurps the throne and kills people decisively, it is unknown how much weight his first love has in his heart.

"Come here, tell Xu Changnian to send the family tree to the palace."

Xu Zhen touched his face and waved.

He then explained to Xu Cheng: "Xu Changnian is the elder of my Xu family clan. He has been keeping the family tree. When you have children in the future, they will be registered one by one."

Xu Cheng nodded.

soon.

Outside the palace.

An old man with a sturdy body, white hair and beard, walked into the palace holding a vermilion book.

"Your Highness! Your Highness the Prince!"

He bowed.

"Uncle Song, you are too polite. Come in, please take a seat." Xu Zhen chuckled, his voice making people feel like a spring breeze.

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point. This child wants to check whether my Xu family's bloodline was passed down around thirty years ago. It was a baby girl."

"Baby girl, about thirty years ago?" the old man thought carefully.

Looking at Xu Cheng: "Thirty years ago, a baby girl really disappeared in an accident..."

Xu Cheng almost didn't swallow the grape and stared at the old man with wide eyes.

No... huh???

Seeing this, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain: "Thirty years ago, there was a prince named Xu Baili in my clan. It is said that not long after the princess gave birth to a daughter, the prince's daughter disappeared due to some accident. As for the reason, we don't know. We only know that the palace was furious, and the royal patrol team investigated for a long time but found nothing..."

"What's the name?" Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It seems that he hasn't had time to name it yet. At least he hasn't reported it to me before." said the old man.

"I know about this, too. Grandpa Baili had a daughter when he was old, and the others were all sons. That daughter was the only one who was very rare. I saw her once at a banquet and even held her in my arms. It's a pity..." Xu Zhen said with interest.

"Grandpa?" Xu Cheng was stunned.

"Yes, he is a sixty-year-old old fellow now. I was only in my teens back then..." Xu Zhen said with emotion as if his memories were brought back.

"But unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago. The one who takes over the palace now is Xu Jiangnian, Grandpa Baili's eldest son."

"Xu Jiangnian, this name sounds familiar." Xu Cheng was stuck for a moment, frowning.

"The current leader of the Sun-Moon Empire's Royal Soul Instructor Group." Xu Zhen said slowly.

"Hiss..." Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed.

"We two grew up together. When we celebrated the girl's birthday that year, he even brought her over to show off to us. There was nothing he could do. Grandpa Baili had 17 sons, and only the eighteenth was a daughter. As the eldest and the older brother, he was also very rare... I still remember that scene. He held the girl, carefully and clumsily. After a few minutes, Grandpa Baili came over and kicked her back and beat her up. Hahahaha..."

Xu Zhen laughed out loud, obviously in a very good mood.

As an emperor, he was rarely so happy.
