"Alright, Granny Li, let's leave today's matter at that. Don't spread it to others. Since His Majesty chose to hide it, he must have his reasons.”
Empress Zhangsun said.
Even if there were any shameful secrets, as the Empress, she had to hide it from Li Shiming. After all, she could not wash her dirty linen in public.
For example, when her sister-in-law was taken over by Li Shiming, if she had handled it, it would not have caused much negative impact.
Hearing Empress Zhangsun's words, Granny Li nodded. This matter was not something they could interfere in. If it really concerned the face of the royal family, then he would pretend that he did not know about this matter.
After all, Li Shiming was the Emperor, and a wise ruler that everyone knew. He had founded the Zhenguan reign. If this matter would really affect the Emperor's reputation, it was best to continue hiding it.
Empress Zhangsun returned to Hanfeng Palace. However, on her way back, she met Li Shimin, who had just finished dealing with government affairs.
"Guanyin maid, what's wrong?"
Li Shimin felt strange because he felt that there was something wrong with Empress Zhangsun's gaze.
Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin from head to toe and finally couldn't help but say something.
"Your Majesty, when did you send sister-in-law out of the palace?”
Li Shi Min was stunned and his face turned awkward.
After the Black Tortoise Sect incident, he had taken Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's concubines into the palace. Indeed, at that time, he had evil intentions.
However, not long after, they were impeached by many officials. In the end, they had no choice but to send all the concubines out of the palace.
However, that was when he was young, even before Weishui River.
But now that Empress Zhangsun had asked, Li Shimin couldn't help but blush.
"Guanyin maid, why are you asking this?”
After all, it was a dark past, and Li Shimin didn't want to mention it. If it was anyone else, Li Shiming would probably be angry.
However, if it was Empress Zhangsun, Li Shimin would not be angry. It was just strange why Empress Zhangsun was suddenly saying this at this time.
Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shiming and said something so shocking that Li Shiming was scared out of his wits.
"Your Majesty, is Li Changge your son?”
Boom!
Li Shiming felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind. He was stunned and looked at Empress Zhangsun with fear in his eyes.
"Could it be that I've been exposed?"
This was the first thought in Li Shiming's heart. Because Qingyun Zi said before, before the age of sixteen, Li Changge's true identity could not be exposed.
If he was exposed, then the incident of Li Changge being unconscious back then would have to happen all over again.
These few years, Li Shiming firmly believed Qingyun Zi's words without a doubt. Because back then, Qingyun Zi said that letting Li Changge wake up really did it.
In reality, what Li Shi Min did not know was that that had nothing to do with Qingyun Zi. Li Changge would naturally wake up after he recovered.
It was just that Qingyun Zi's luck was pretty good. The heavens also helped him complete such a huge lie.
Just as Li Shiming was feeling bewildered, Empress Zhangsun's words made him heave a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, that Li Changge is your illegitimate son, right? Tell ChenQie the truth, which sister-in-law did you give birth to him with?”
Alright, when Empress Zhangsun said this, her eyes were filled with a trace of resentment. After all, as an old couple, Li Shiming had never told her about such a big thing.
Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Empress Zhangsun in confusion. When did Li Changge become his illegitimate child?
Also, what did he mean by which sister-in-law did he have it with? Am I that kind of person? Thinking about it carefully, he really seemed to be that kind of person.
"Why did you say that Li Changge is my illegitimate son?”
Li Shi Min asked curiously.
Empress Zhangsun said seriously.
"First of all, he looks 70% similar to you when you were young. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?”
"Secondly, Your Majesty, you treat him differently. The name Changge is very important to you, so you won't easily give it to others.”
"Also, you're very good to him. Even if he hit Chenglin, you were never angry and even reprimanded Chenglin.”
"After all, ever since this child was born, you've never cared about him. A noble prince has wandered into the commoners and made him a great general. You're treating him so well just to compensate him, right?”
Li Shimin was stunned. He had never thought that Empress Zhangsun would be so imaginative. Of course, in this era, there was no such word in their minds. It just meant that.
For a moment, Li Shi Min couldn't find any words to refute.
He knew that there were many flaws in what he was doing. If someone was willing to analyze it, it could be said that he treated Li Changge too abnormally.
For example, they had suspected Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui of the imperial court.
During this period of time, they had been beating around the bush.
Li Shiming's eyes lit up. Perhaps he could slowly accept Empress Zhangsun's guess, and then treat Li Changge well.
Even if Li Changge's identity was exposed, he could be directly said to be his illegitimate son.
What Qingyun Zi said back then was that he could not expose Li Changge's sage identity as the Ninth Prince. But an illegitimate child was a little different! Of course, there was no other way.
"Ai, Guanyin maid, you won't be angry, right?”
Li Shiming sighed. His guilty and self-reproaching expression was like a movie king.
Empress Zhangsun sighed and thought to herself that Li Changge was indeed the Emperor's illegitimate son.
