Chapter 1678 Father and Son Talk Heart-to-Heart and Whisper 2
"When did you know?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked anxiously.

"It's ashamed to say that it was three years ago." Xuanyuanhao replied in a low voice.

"Then you know his biological father."

"I know, it's Grand Master Li Zhen."

"Since you know everything, why..."

Xuanyuan Hao smiled, and interrupted softly: "You want to ask, since you all know, why don't you deal with them, right? Why don't you make it public that Xuanyuan Qi is not the prince?"

Xuanyuan Zhan nodded.

"There are three reasons why I don't make this public. The first reason is for the reputation of the royal family. Ordinary people are afraid that such a thing will not be made public, because they are afraid of making their family ugly, let alone the Xuanyuan family who are the royal family. Well, if it is revealed that Xuanyuan Qi is not the prince, it will make people in the world laugh at me and the entire Xuanyuan family. If so, after I die, how can I face the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family."

"..." Xuanyuan Zhan was speechless.

"Li Zhen kept winning people's hearts in the court, and the influence of the Changsun family continued to expand. When I knew about this, the power of the Changsun family could not be underestimated. Even Sima Zhennan, who was brave and good at fighting, had become their man. That At that time, there were soldiers and horses from the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of Sima Town. If I rashly made the matter public, I might force the eldest grandson’s family to jump over the wall and conspire to rebel. In my hands, this is the second reason why I don't expose the matter."

"What about the third reason?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked suspiciously.

Xuanyuan Hao stared at him, and said after a while, "The third reason is also to protect the safety of your mother and child."

Xuanyuan Zhan's pupils dilated, obviously he didn't expect him to have such considerations.

"Do you still remember the inexplicable fire in Jinghe Palace where you lived?"

"Of course I remember, even if I die, I won't forget..."

Jinghe Palace was his birth residence, but after Zhixuan replaced him as Xuanyuan Zhan, he changed his name to Zhan Zhixuan and has been secretly living in a remote small courtyard not far from his mother's Lenggong. He slept soundly that night At that time, he suddenly heard someone yelling for fire, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and got up to look at it. At a glance, he saw that Jinghe Palace was full of flames and smoke. He ran to Jinghe Palace without revealing his identity, and learned that the Ninth Prince was burned by the fire , life or death is uncertain.Afterwards, several imperial doctors tried their best to save Zhixuan's life, but his whole body was engulfed by the fire, his whole body was burnt beyond recognition, and he was like a disabled person.

This is the eternal pain in Zhixuan's heart, and it is a wound that can never be erased in his heart.

After the fire, he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several years. In his dreams, he always dreamed that the fire swallowed him up. The fire was supposed to be his calamity, but the innocent Zhixuan suffered instead of him. become what it is today.

"When the big fire happened that year, I felt very sad on the one hand, and on the other hand I felt lucky that the person who lived in Jinghe Palace at that time was not you. If something happened to you, I really don't know what to do. Okay, so on the one hand, to protect you, and on the other hand, to investigate the cause of the fire, I asked you to move out of the palace. Back then, I did not follow up on this case. According to what people later told me, the cause of the fire was It was a little eunuch who secretly paid homage to his good friend, and that was what caused it, and he brought that little eunuch in front of me. In front of me, the little eunuch confessed his behavior, and I believed it at the time, so I didn't do it again Continue to pursue it until many years later."
