Chapter 377 Exchange
Almost immediately, the emperor thought of the He family, and after the secret guard reported He Xiangshan's whereabouts in the past two days, the emperor made a decision in his heart.

This child cannot be kept.

His first ascension to the throne was at a time of instability, if another heir of the former crown prince appeared at this time, he was afraid that there would be troubles at that time.

Even if the child is still in its infancy and has no power to fight, what about the future?

What flows in him is the purest blood of the direct line of the royal family. If he grows up in the future, he intends to take back the throne belonging to the direct line...

Murderous intent suddenly appeared in the emperor's eyes, and he was about to send someone to do it. At this moment, He Xiangshan entered the palace and begged to see the emperor.

Signaling the hidden guards to retreat for the time being, the emperor received He Xiangshan leisurely: "He Qing entered the palace in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

He asked this casually, but after the casualness, there was a murderous intention lurking in the air.

He Xiangshan walked in a hurry, gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground: "I have something to do, I've been thinking about it, and I dare not hide it from the saint."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and twisted his fingertips behind him: "What's the matter?"

"It's the daughter of the former prince..."

"The daughter of the former crown prince?" the emperor's voice was puzzled.

"Yes." He Xiangshan took out the Crown Princess and his handwritten letter from his bosom, and presented it to the emperor.

After the emperor unfolded it, he couldn't help feeling relieved.It turned out to be a daughter...it made him nervous for nothing.

He did not doubt the authenticity of this handwriting, the handwriting left by the princess when she was alive is not difficult to find, just a little comparison to know the authenticity.

If He Xiangshan dared to deceive him with this, he would really be impatient.

However, this He Xiangshan was much more sincere than he thought. The Crown Princess's handwritten letter was full of wariness towards the royal family, so he just took it out like this, not afraid of his anger.

The emperor pretended to be surprised: "The princess concubine had already given birth that day? In this way, it is really a blessing that the prince still has blood!"

"In this case, He Qing quickly send the child to the palace...no..." The emperor stood up and said hastily, "I will send someone to pick it up in person."

After all, the emperor will call people in.

He Xiangshan raised his head and said: "Saint, wait a minute."

The emperor frowned slightly, and looked at He Xiangshan who was kneeling down with displeasure: "He Qing, do you have anything else to say?"

He Xiangshan took a deep breath and said, "The sage must have read the contents of the crown prince's suicide note."

"Ling Jiang has no parents to protect her now. The Crown Princess is worried that she will be alone in the royal family, so she entrusts her to the humble minister, wishing her to stay away from the royal family and live longer than the He family..."

The emperor couldn't help sneering when he heard the words, this He Xiangshan really dared to speak out, he dared to say such accusations against the royal family, he was looking at his first accession to the throne, and he didn't dare to attack the He family?

He lowered his face and said in a cold voice: "He Qing, you have exceeded the rules."

"Although the prince and concubine are gone, this child is the blood of my Great Zhou royal family, my niece, and also the princess of the Great Zhou. How can there be any reason to be reduced to outside? Although you are the child's uncle, you don't agree with it." Unbelievable."

In the end, the emperor's words were full of warnings.

He Xiangshan looked fearless: "I know that this child is of royal blood, but in the eyes of the world, the child in the womb of the Crown Princess has already passed away with her. Even if we bring her back now, it is difficult to stop the rumors from spreading. Waves."

"Since that's the case, why not follow the Crown Princess' last wish and let this child grow up in the He family, and become an idle and wealthy noblewoman from the family?"

The emperor sneered: "Why? Do you think that being the princess of the Great Zhou is better than being the noble daughter of your He family?"

"Yes." He Xiangshan knelt straight and said, "Although Princess Da Zhou is honorable, she has neither father nor mother, and even though the saint treats her well, she is just a poor lonely person in this huge palace. "

"But if she arrives at the He family, from now on, I will not be her uncle, but her biological father, and my wife, Mrs. Song, will be her biological mother. What's wrong with being a daughter of the He family who is loved by her parents and friendly to her brothers and sisters? "

With a "bang", the emperor casually picked up the tea cup on the table and slammed it in front of He Xiangshan. The fine celadon cup shattered into thousands of petals on the ground, and the flying fragments even scratched He Xiangshan's face. .

"He Xiangshan, how dare you say it!" The emperor laughed back angrily.

In the palace, there are many restraints and open and secret struggles. He grew up in the palace, so he naturally has a deep understanding.

He Xiangshan was the only one who dared to say this in front of the emperor.

He Xiangshan knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I have violated the rules. But I just want to follow the last wish of the princess and let this child grow up freely and happily like an ordinary child. Please forgive me."

The emperor looked at He Xiangshan who was lying on the ground, and remained silent.

He thought the child was a boy, so naturally he couldn't keep it.But since she is only a daughter now, there is no need to take her life.

As for where the child is going, he doesn't really care.

As He Xiangshan said, in the eyes of the world, the child in the crown prince's womb is already dead.That being the case, why bother to justify her name?

However, if He Xiangshan wants to get what he wants, he can't do it without paying some price.

The emperor lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, looked down at He Xiangshan, and kept silent. The hall was so quiet that he could hear the sound of sunlight passing through the window lattice and falling on the ground.

He Xiangshan's breathing was heavy, as if he had made up his mind, he looked up at the emperor: "Saint, I ask you to resign and bring the He clan back to their ancestral home in Linchuan. I hope the saint will grant you permission."

The emperor smiled in his heart, but his eyebrows were raised in puzzlement: "When I first ascended the throne, He Qing wanted to resign and return. What's the reason for that?"

He Xiangshan lowered his head and replied respectfully: "I dare not show any disrespect. The He family originally originated in Linchuan. Since the fall of the previous dynasty, the ancestors have ordered that the He family should settle here."

"Later, my late father was unwilling to do so, and led his family to Yingdu, and by chance, a princess was born in the family. Only then did the He family take root in Yingdu."

"After this turmoil, the vitality of the He family was severely injured, so the ministers discussed with the clan elders to follow the order of the ancestors and return to the place of their ancestral home to recuperate and recuperate."

"Is that so?" The emperor smiled leisurely, "Although I value He Qing's talent, if you really insist on doing so, it will be hard for me to keep you."

The implication is that it is accurate, so refreshing.

He Xiangshan understood it, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the sage's permission."

"The daughter of the former prince..."

"What is the daughter of the former crown prince?" The emperor wondered, "From now on, in this world, there will only be the Seventh Lady of your He family."

If the He family wants to raise this child, then she can only be the He family from now on, there is no such person in the royal family.

He Xiangshan walked out of the hall, and when the cold wind blew, he realized that he was already sweating.

If it wasn't for the surviving old woman beside the crown princess who secretly sent him a letter, he might have thought that the emperor didn't know about it.

If He Shi and Ling Jiang Ruo want to retreat completely, it may be difficult.

Now, although he took the He clan to move back in exchange, this was also his consideration.With this current subordinate, it might not be a good thing for He Shiqiang to stay in Yingdu, so it's better to go back here.

It's a pity that the old woman lost her life after all.
