Chapter 141 Swear to Heaven
Chen Mianzheng raised his eyes slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "You're so good, what do I do when I see someone else's wife?"

"Nothing?" Shang Shixu lowered his head thoughtfully and said, "Now that my sister's funeral has been settled, I will set off for Nanling tomorrow!" "

"Slow down!" Chen Mianzheng stopped Shang Shixu and said, "It will take Lu Feicheng half a month to go from the capital to Nanling. You wait until he leaves before setting off."

Shang Shixu stood up and replied: "Yes. But when will the foster father leave for Beijing? The foster father has left the capital. I think there must have been a lot of documents accumulated on the desk of the Ministry of Education in the past few days."

"There's no rush." ​​Chen Mianzheng said while drinking tea: "Min'er's body is still cold, what else is more important than Min'er and her child. In this case, I will also go see what you just said That lady!”

Chen Mianzheng stood up and came to the main hall of the palace. Qi Xuanyi was also in the hall. When he saw that Chen Mianzheng was coming, he quickly stood up and said: "Master Yue Zhang!"

Chen Mianzheng waved his hand to him, and then said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen the crown prince since I came to Chenzhou for a few days. After all, he is Min'er's only flesh and blood, and he is also my only grandson. Why don't you bring him out first, and I Grandparents and grandson can be reunited!"

Qi Xuanyi heard this and replied: "My father-in-law wants to see the prince, so of course he should. Xiao Wang will ask someone to bring him here now!"

After that, he said to the maid next to him: "Go and carry the prince!"

The maid took the order and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Chen Mianzheng stopped the maid, turned to look at Qi Xuanyi and said, "I heard that the young prince is now being taken care of by one of the prince's wives. Min'er left in a hurry, thanks to this Madam, please help take care of it. I am usually very busy with official duties, so it is not easy for me to come to Chenzhou this time. Why not invite this madam to come too! I can also thank you in person!"

Qi Xuanyi looked at Chen Mianzheng in obvious surprise when he heard this, but quickly adjusted his expression and said with a faint smile: "She is just a lady in my palace, but she used to be my maid, and she is careful in her work. , and is good at taking care of people, so this king allows the prince to be raised by her side. Since she has been favored by the palace, she should naturally take good care of the little prince, so how can she trouble the Lord Zhongshu to express his gratitude in person? "

"Just a maid?" Chen Mianzheng said: "But I heard that you are very fond of this wife! My daughter is dead, but your wife is still alive. She can continue to give birth to children for you. It is difficult to guarantee the future of the prince. It’s not necessarily possible to change your son to be the heir apparent!”

"Ha..." Qi Xuanyi sneered and said, "I have been married to Minran for five years. Now that she has passed away, I feel haggard. I don't know how to face the rest of my life alone. If Minran hadn't returned to me She has left a child, and I want to at least raise her child. I have long been unwilling to be born in secret! In my palace, besides Minran, there are many wives. My father-in-law wants to see, I The king can ask them all to come out!”

After saying that, Qi Xuanyi's smile gradually disappeared, his eyes that slowly dimmed were full of pain, and tears stopped in his eyes and began to roll: "I, Qi Xuanyi, have been lucky enough to be favored by the princess for three lifetimes. In this life, we If we can't support each other until we grow old, what's the point of becoming emperor for me? It's only because of this child that I want to give it a try!"

After that, he took out a short knife from his arms.When a cold light suddenly appeared, Chen Mianzheng couldn't help but frown, and looked at Qi Xuanyi with a scrutinizing gaze, making up his mind that he would never really harm himself.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xuanyi raised the knife and cut off his little finger. Blood spurted out from his injured little finger in an instant. He endured the pain and said: "Today, I, Qi Xuanyi, swear here that if I return in a hundred years, I will My throne will definitely be inherited by Min Ran’s child!”

Chen Mianzheng was dubious about him. Seeing that he would rather cut off his little finger than let himself see this Madam Qing, he became even more convinced that this Madam Qing must be extraordinary.

At this moment, a maid came to the front hall with her wet nurse holding the young prince in her arms.

When Chen Mianzheng saw that his grandson was coming, he quickly stood up and almost fell down when he was distracted!
He ran to the child in three steps at a time and picked up the child with a loving face.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Qing walked into the front hall. Chen Mianzheng just raised his eyes slightly to look at her, and then picked up the prince without saying anything else.

Qi Xuanyi nodded towards Madam Qing, and then Madam Qing retreated.

In this way, Chen Mianzheng's doubts were finally dispelled. He took a closer look at the young prince, who looked very similar to Qi Xuanyi. Thinking that his daughter died early and left only this bloodline, Chen Mianzheng couldn't help but feel sad. Qi Xuanyi Said: "This child has a hard life. He lost his mother not long after he was born. Although I know that he is also the prince's heart and soul, I am just old and lost my daughter. I am very sad in my heart. Why don't you let me take him back to Beijing to personally take care of his daily life?" how?"

Qi Xuanyi clutched his wound tightly, and soon his face turned pale, and replied: "It is a good thing that Lord Zhongshu Ling wants to take him back to the capital. Once he comes to the feet of the emperor, and has Zhongshu Ling to educate him personally, what he has seen and heard about this child It's definitely not bad. It's just that he lost his mother when he was young, and he is just a baby who has not yet grown up. If he travels a long distance to the capital and cannot stay with his biological father since he was a child, I am afraid he will be even more uncomfortable! Nian Zai's son is young, I still hope that Master Zhongshu Ling can keep him with me!"

Chen Mianzheng nodded when he heard the words, and had no choice but to give up on the matter. However, he looked at the prince in his arms and remembered what Shang Shixu had just said. He was still a little confused. After thinking about it, he didn't know what was hidden in it. Mysterious, he said: "I have been away from Beijing for a few days, and there are still many things in Beijing that need to be dealt with personally. Now I have lost my biological daughter, and I am extremely sad. I don't want my grandson to experience the pain of separation of flesh and blood again. Tomorrow, I will Prepare to leave for the capital. As for the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, His Majesty has sent him to deal with Nanling affairs. He can stay in Chenzhou and wait for General Lu Feicheng's team to gather together to suppress the Nanling unruly people! He will have to stay in the palace these days to cause trouble."

Qi Xuanyi hurriedly said: "Shang Shangshu is the adopted son of the father-in-law, and the adopted brother of King Zhao. Naturally, the little king will treat him well!"

Chen Mianzheng saw that he was in great pain due to the injury on his hand, so he said: "I have never heard of any emperor with nine fingers. You swear like this, it is really unreasonable!"

Qi Xuanyi raised his head in surprise when he heard this and replied: "Lord Zhongshu Ling..."
