Duan Yanqing remained silent.
He had to admit that Xu Xiake's analysis was very reasonable.
Xiake Xu continued," After several generations of change, Duan Yanqing's family has long lost power in Dali. Even if they get the throne, they are just puppets without real power.”
Duan Yanqing remained silent.
Xiake Xu said," You must really want to know what kind of conditions I want to negotiate with you after saying so much nonsense, right?”
Duan Yanqing fell silent again.
" I've said so much because I want to tell you that I have a brilliant plan that will allow the throne to return to your Duan family without any effort.”
Duan Yanqing's heart skipped a beat. He asked," Do you have any good ideas? I'm listening."”
Xu Xiake said," Rule by inaction!"
"Daoist Huang Lao's doctrine of governing by inaction?”Duan Yanqing was even more suspicious. He had no idea what Xu Xiake was up to.
" Yes," Xu Xiake said." You don't have to do anything, and the throne will return to Duan Yanqing.”
Duan Yanqing seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He could not help but twitch his lips." How interesting. Do you think you're lying to a three-year-old child? I don't have to do anything to regain the throne. Are you really going to wait for Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun to be kind enough to give me the throne?"”
The more Duan Yanqing listened, the more ridiculous he felt. He felt a headache coming on. He said coldly," I didn't do anything, and you swore that the throne would be returned to the Duan family. I'm afraid you're making fun of me, aren't you?"”
Xiake Xu looked at Duan Yanqing and smiled meaningfully." You can't be the emperor, but your son can!"”
Hearing this, Duan Yanqing became even angrier." I have no children!”
Duan Yanqing's expression turned even uglier. This was also his hidden illness. After all, he was old. How could he have children?
Xu Xiake said," You do!"
Duan Yanqing said," I'm nearing the age of destiny. I've been traveling all year round, and it's impossible for me to have another child!”
Duan Yanqing only thought that Xu Xiake's plan was to let Duan Yanqing have another son so that he could assist his son to seize Dali.
Such a thing was not uncommon in unofficial history.
" I don't need you to give birth to another son because you already have one."”
"I have a son. Why didn't I know about it?”
If Duan Yan wasn't a prisoner at this moment, he would have escaped long ago.
" Do you remember that night twenty years ago when you came to Tian Long Temple and asked your uncle, Master Ku Rong, to uphold justice?”
Duan Yanqing's expression changed." How do you know about this?" he asked.”
Xu Xiake said," You don't have to care so much. Just say yes or no?”
Duan Yanqing was silent for a long time. He seemed to be sighing as he ventriloqued." Yes, she is not an ordinary person. She is a fairy. She was sent by the heavens to take pity on me. This gave me the courage to live."”
Xu Xiake said," Don't lie to yourself. She's also a mortal. Moreover, this woman has given birth to a son for you.”
Duan Yanqing's body trembled violently." Are you telling the truth? Did she really give birth to a son for me?"”
Xu Xiake said," It's absolutely true. I've already said it just now. It's been twenty years, and she has already raised your son to adulthood. It's a pity that you can't recognize her anymore.”
Duan Yanqing's body trembled violently, and he could not calm down for a long time. How could an old man who was close to the age of destiny not be excited when he suddenly heard that he had a son?
"Where did the mother and son appear?”
" The woman who saved you is none other than the current Consort of Zhennan, Dao Baifeng."”
Duan Yanqing was shocked again.
"I'm sure you've already guessed the son she gave birth to!”" Duan Yu," said Xu Xiake indifferently. He looked at Duan Yu who was lying on the ground again.
Duan Yanqing couldn't help but size up the person in front of him.
" Now you should understand why I stopped you from killing him. It's because he's your son, Duan Yanqing."”
Duan Yanqing was completely stunned. He couldn't help but stagger backward.
"Is he…really my child?”
