It wasn't that Consort Qi had instigated him to do bad things, but that the previous owner of this body was a profligate son who had messed around with servant girls and booked brothels.
In the past year, he had stayed in the house all day. The maidservant only massaged his back and did not have excessive skin contact. Even if the maidservant took the initiative to wink at him, he would turn a blind eye.
Lady Qi was a little worried. Was her son dying or did he have the advantage of Long Yang? If not, why didn't he get close to women?
Not long ago, Li Si's daughter, Li Wanning, had come to visit him and was rejected by Ying Lan. She was a well-known daughter of a wealthy family in the capital. Could it be that she was not worthy of his attention?!
It was only when he brought Su Xiao Mei back that Madam Qi heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that her son preferred mature and charming women.
Ying Lan did not consider her mother's thoughts. She thought that she simply hoped that he would work harder to spread his family. After all, in this era, he was already considered an 'old leftover man'. After Ying Zheng had seen his son's ability, it was understandable that he had started to arrange the marriage.
Ying Lan happily finished a big bowl of chicken soup and went back to her room to sleep.
He didn't notice that Su Xiaomei, who was chatting with a servant not far away, had a glint in her eyes.
"In just half a day, he transformed from an ordinary person to an Earth Realm expert? The Bloody Butcher really had a heaven-defying skill!”
……
Because all the officials in the imperial court had seen with their own eyes that Ying Lan had rejected the position of Crown Prince and the title of Duke of Tongnong, the news quickly spread throughout Xianyang City.
The commoners also knew that the potatoes and corn were planted by Ying Lan. As the citizens of Xianyang City, they were the first to taste this indescribable delicacy.
Ying Lan's limelight was unparalleled. The ordinary people of this era did not have many pursuits. They did not care about spiritual and material satisfaction. As long as they could eat and wear warm clothes, it was enough.
The fact that Great Qin was willing to take out these two ingredients was enough to show how important the commoners were to Ying Zheng.
However, there was some inexplicable news that Ying Lan was not the biological son of the First Emperor, but the illegitimate son of the Bloody-handed Butcher.
Both the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, and the recently famous Bloody Butcher were full of mystery, especially the latter. The Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings kept being announced, but Bloody Butcher was on the rankings time and time again, and he was ranked at the top, receiving unimaginable rewards.
If this rumor was true, it would be too absurd. For the sake of the prosperity of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng did not care about the green hair on his head?!
After hearing the news, the people involved fell silent without exception.
Ying Lan found it funny. Although his handsome face did not look like Ying Zheng's, it was impossible for him to be the illegitimate son of the Blood-handed Butcher. He was the Blood-handed Butcher, so how could he be an illegitimate son?!
However, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was in an uproar. First, Hu Shi went to complain.
"Your Majesty, I have long suspected that Ying Lan is not your biological son. I have worked hard for a year and a half and accompanied Your Majesty at least dozens of times, but that Qi clan only had one fling with Your Majesty and was pregnant with a dragon child. How could they be so lucky?”
Ying Zheng had no confidence in the beginning, and after hearing what Lady Hu said, he became even more suspicious.
Although Ying Lan had many similarities with him, but recently, after discovering that Ying Lan was different from the others, he began to doubt himself. Was this really my flesh and blood?!
If that was the case, why didn't she wish for him to live a long and healthy life? She clearly had a superior-grade Longevity Extending Pill, but she refused to take it out. He had just casually brought a dog to stew and eat, and she actually apologized humbly. If this had happened in the past, it would never have happened.
Moreover, if Ying Zheng had not heard Ying Lan's inner thoughts, he would have kept many things in his heart, and would not have been willing to help Great Qin advance towards the golden age of ten thousand years.
"Sigh, Your Majesty, the Qi family has a lowly status, and their way of life is also indecent. Don't be fooled by her. Although I'm not sure if Ying Lan is the Blood-Handed Butcher's child, the Qi family is really fickle. Back then, they even flirted with the guards. Who knows if they did anything in private?”
Hu shi's words were spoken in a very orderly manner, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"Shut up." Ying Zheng's face darkened. The Hu family was not a good person either, and they only knew how to hit someone when they were down.
"I have my own judgment on right and wrong. I don't need you to point fingers!”
This reprimand gave Hu shi immense pressure. She couldn't help but shiver and quickly nodded.
The purpose of her trip was to make Ying Zheng believe that Ying Lan was not his biological son. It was said that she would make him the Crown Prince today and make him the Marquis of Tongnong. What kind of concept was this?
As long as Ying Lan didn't act recklessly and steadily improved herself, she would be the second Qin Emperor in the future. Moreover, her son Huhai had returned home with a face full of dirt. After asking around, she found out that he had been severely humiliated by Ying Lan.
Just as she was worried that she had no reason to complain, rumors began to spread all over Xianyang City.
Soon, Ying Zheng summoned a few of his trusted ministers. They all had their own opinions, and most of them felt that this was not a baseless rumor.
This was because the Bloody Butcher was too good to Ying Lan. Not only did he give her an immortal level cultivation technique, but he also hid in the dark all the time to protect her silently.
Even if they were old friends, or even adopted sons, it would be difficult to receive such treatment, right?
"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that the position of Crown Prince has not been confirmed today. Once it's announced to the world, this matter will no longer be a joke and will be difficult to change.”Wang Ben was relieved.
"Can't you see that the kid doesn't care?”Ying Zheng still refused to believe it.
"Maybe he's playing hard to get, trying to get rid of the suspicion of rebellion.”
Ying Zheng furrowed his brows. He felt his heart ache at the mention of rebellion. Indeed, he remembered that Ying Lan did not stand up to welcome him when he went to the Qi Palace once. She even muttered in her heart that she would rebel if he was forced into a corner.
It was as if deep in Ying Lan's bones, she didn't treat him as her father.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt very hurt. Ying Lan was the person he trusted the most, but now, he had to be careful, or else Xianyang City might change!
At the same time, in the Lan residence.
"Who the hell spread such a rumor? When I entered the palace at the age of twelve and accompanied His Majesty to bed, I was still flawless. How could I have an affair with that Bloody Butcher?”
Madam Qi was in tears. She was upright and not afraid of her shadow being crooked. However, this rumor had spread everywhere and became a topic of conversation after a meal. It also pushed her to the forefront of the storm.
"Lan 'er, how can you still lie down? Hurry up and explain to His Majesty.”Madam Qi was furious when she saw her son sleeping soundly. How could he still sleep at a time like this?!
"Aiya, Consort Mother, if we don't do anything wrong, we won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. If we go to Imperial Father to explain now, he will still feel guilty.”Ying Lan stretched lazily, indicating for the servant girl to continue massaging her legs and shoulders.
Lady Qi was about to speak when a eunuch's voice came from outside the door.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
"Look, speak of the devil."
"Who is Cao Cao?"
