Perhaps knowing that he had no way out, Liu Yong finally decided to tell the secret deep in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Sheng Sheng is not guilty. She is not from our General's Palace at all. She is not the flesh and blood of an old minister. There is no need to be implicated by our General's Palace. So, please let her go!"
Hearing this sentence, Liu Fang was the first to laugh out loud.
"General Liu, I also know that you love your daughter very much, but in order to save her, making up such a lie is too much, right? Because she is afraid of death, she has not dared to recognize you as her father after coming back for so long, and you are afraid of her death , and now I don’t plan to recognize her as my daughter. Should I say that you have a deep love between father and daughter, or..."
"I'm telling the truth. She was not my daughter in the first place! It's because I promised someone that I would pamper her, protect her, and let her grow up in peace. I even gave her the title of my legitimate daughter in an attempt to make her Become the most noble being in the General's Mansion..."
"How dare you fabricate lies in front of me?"
Nan Gongcheng slammed the table, "Liu Yong, do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"I know! But I have to say it!"
After all, it doesn't matter if he himself is forced into a desperate situation, but Liu Shengsheng can no longer be implicated by him!
Thinking about it, he said word by word: "Because I promised a very important person that before she comes to take Shengsheng back, I will keep this secret well, and at the same time take good care of her and protect her. Not only We must give her the most noble status, the most extreme pampering, and, as long as it is what she wants, we must do our best to satisfy her."
"Because of this, even though I knew she was willful at first, I still tried hard to be attracted to her. Later, she had such a trouble with my other daughter. I always subconsciously moved towards my biological daughter, but I often felt that she was right. I can't control her, so I always act very contradictory."
"But Chen has given her the name of his biological daughter, the status of his legitimate daughter, and even everything she wants. Even though she has been arrogant and domineering since childhood, I have always let it go..."
"I am guilty of deceiving the emperor, but if it is really counted, the Queen Mother is also guilty! Because the Queen Mother has known about this matter for a long time, and it is the Queen Mother who is helping to conceal it!"
Hearing what he said, Nan Gongcheng's expression suddenly changed, "What on earth are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty, do you still remember when Sheng Sheng was born? Don't you remember? Most people in the capital don't have this memory, right? Maybe no one remembers that Sheng Sheng was brought back by me during the expedition, because At that time, my wife was still there, and I was away on the war for a long time. Even if she gave birth to a child and brought her back, no one would doubt her at all."
"But that child, Liu Shengsheng, is not Chen's biological daughter at all. She is the daughter of the Queen of Li Kingdom and the only princess of Li Kingdom!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire imperial study room was silent!
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and Liu Fang clenched her fists instantly.
Even Nan Gongcheng narrowed his eyes.
Just listen to Liu Yong continue to say word by word:
"When the Li Kingdom was in turmoil, the Emperor of Li Kingdom was repeatedly assassinated. His queen gave birth to five sons in a row, but never a daughter. She finally gave birth to a daughter. She should have been loved by thousands of people, but because of internal and external troubles, the little girl was The princess almost fell into a pool of blood as soon as she was born..."
"In addition, the Li Kingdom was still at war with our Fengqing Kingdom, which could be described as internal and external troubles. But when the Li Kingdom was fighting with us, the daughter of the general of the Li Kingdom, our Queen Mother, had already She is already the noble concubine of our Fengqing Kingdom. If this battle breaks out, whether she wins or loses, it will be fatal for the original Queen Mother! After all, she is stuck between the two countries, and only the two countries have always had good relations. She Only then can you be safe and sound!"
"But she had no right to stop the battle between Li Kingdom and our Fengqing Kingdom. War broke out frequently on the border between the two countries. The Queen Mother and the then emperor personally went to the border to try to use her identity as the daughter of Li Kingdom's general to stop this war. But it’s completely useless!”
"How deep was the chaos in the Li Kingdom back then? Probably even the Queen of the Li Kingdom was forced not to stay in the palace. When she gave birth to the little princess, she was even outside the palace!"
"Actually, in Fengqing Country, we
If they insist on attacking them, they will definitely be defeated. However, our Queen Mother is from the Li Kingdom. As the daughter of the general of the Li Kingdom, she knows that if her country is destroyed, she will no longer have a foothold in Fengqing's country. "
"She went to stop the war, and the way they stopped the war was for Queen Li to send their country's only little princess to our country. Only in this way can the relationship between the two countries be perfectly stabilized!"
"And it was because Li Guo left such a proton that the late emperor dared to appoint the Queen Mother of Li Guo as the queen, because they all knew that as long as Li Guo's princess was still in Feng Qing Country, Li Guo would never If you want to mess with Fengqing Kingdom, and our Queen Mother of Fengqing Kingdom is still from Liguo, it is naturally impossible to mess with Liguo. This is the main reason why the two countries have been able to maintain good relations after that war!"
"But although the Queen Mother brought the child back, it was not convenient for her to raise it secretly, because she had promised Queen Li to give their little princess endless love. At that time, I was still childless, so the Queen Mother handed over the child. He was raised by an old minister."
"..."
After saying so much in one breath, Liu Yong was out of breath.
But Liu Fang was already dumbfounded, "Where are you talking here? Liu Shengsheng is the princess of Li Kingdom, are you kidding me?"
"Whether this is a joke or not, the Queen Mother knows best!"
Liu Yong said earnestly, and then continued very seriously:
"This decision was originally made by the Queen Mother. Using the only little princess of Li Kingdom as a hostage not only stabilized the hearts of the people of Li Kingdom and made them dare not act rashly, but also stabilized the trust of the late Emperor in the Queen Mother! And from this, we gained The one who benefits the most is also the Queen Mother..."
"Actually, everything is traceable. If she was just the daughter of an old minister, why did the Queen Mother jump in to save her when she fell into the water? There is no comparison between her safety and the Queen Mother's safety, right?"
"Also, Shengsheng has been spoiled by us since she was a child. She is so ignorant and lawless. But when the Queen Mother was here, no matter how lawless she was, I never said a harsh word to her, even The harsh words she said later were also because she hurt Chen’s biological daughter..."
"Everyone knows that she is terrible, but she was given the title of Prince Cang. Is this really your idea, Your Majesty? The Queen Mother mentioned it in front of you, right? Ever since they were young, the Queen Mother has intentionally made them both They are together because the Queen Mother often calls Sheng Sheng into the palace to meet Prince Cang when she was a child. That’s why Sheng Sheng fell in love with Prince Cang so much that she couldn’t help herself, and even risked her life and death to ask for marriage.”
"Everything is according to the Queen Mother's plan. She has long decided to let her son marry Princess Li Guo, because in this way, even if Li Guo becomes stronger in the future and wants to take Sheng Sheng back, Sheng Sheng will not be able to marry her. I won’t be willing to go back.”
"As long as the Queen from Li Kingdom, who loves her daughter so much, doesn't die, at least there will be peace between the two countries for decades. This is the Queen Mother's good intentions!"
"Back then, Shengsheng was in danger again and again, and I wanted to tell the truth again and again, but in the end I couldn't. I originally wanted to wait until the Queen Mother came back, but the Queen Mother suddenly disappeared, and I was at a loss. Over the past two years, I It’s even more out of control..."
"The last time Sheng Sheng was burned to death, this matter must have spread back to Li Guo. When I was lying in the prison, I would occasionally feel suspicious, wondering if people from Li Guo came to take revenge, so I gave him It’s such a big charge, but I think it’s unlikely…”
"But it was precisely because I was thinking about this matter every day in Tianlao, and the Queen Mother was missing, and I was about to die. It was after careful consideration that I decided to tell this secret when I see the Emperor again. It’s just that at first I just wanted to remind the emperor to be careful of Li Guo’s revenge, but now Sheng Sheng is still there, our relationship with Li Guo has not been broken, and there is still room for redemption..."
"..."
