Chapter 428: Separation from Heart (Two in One)
The next day, the court meeting ended.
Just when Xu Tianran wanted to go to the imperial study, a eunuch trotted over and reported: "Your Majesty, the Master of Hongchen Hall wants to see you."
"Oh?"
Xu Tianran After a pause, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch lowered his head and said: "The Master of Hongchen Hall said that he missed the queen, so he wanted to visit the palace. I hope your majesty will agree."
After hearing this, Xu Tianran fell silent.
To be honest, he didn't want to agree to this.
After all, he has no male ability, and he has not yet had sex with Meng Hongchen until after his wedding. Once Jing Hongchen comes into contact with Meng Hongchen, he will definitely learn about it from Meng Hongchen.
Even if Jing Hongchen could not imagine the whole story, it was still bad news for him. But can you refuse?
It's just human nature for a grandfather to visit his granddaughter.
Thinking of this, "Go and tell Master Hongchen Hall that I agree. And it is better to choose a different date for the visit, so let's choose now."
"According to the decree."
After the eunuch took the order and left, Xu Tianran continued to walk forward without looking back, but said: "Xue Chen."
The black shadow flashed past, "Your Majesty."
Xu Tianran's face was full of indifference, "You can go and accompany the Master of Hongchen Hall later. Hidden for now, there is no need to show up."
"According to the order."
Obviously, people who are suspicious by nature are not so easily reassured.
Furthermore, Xu Tianran was confident that with Shadow Douluo Xuechen's cultivation and his special martial spirit, it would be difficult for Jing Hongchen to detect it.
At the same time, the eunuch also conveyed Xu Tianran's will to Jing Hongchen, and took him towards Meng Hongchen's palace. But no one noticed that there was a shadow following behind it.
"I wonder how Grandpa and Xiao are doing?" Meng Hongchen sat alone by the window in the queen's palace, playing with the flowers in the potted plant out of boredom, with a trace of longing in her eyes.
This huge palace is really lonely!
But having said that, yesterday Xu Tianran actually brought the fifth prince, no, it should be said to be Prince Tianhe, to the palace, and also allowed him to have more contact with him. This is really strange.
For this reason, Xu Tianran also issued an order.
Only four people knew that Xu Tianhe was under house arrest in the palace. Apart from her, Meng Hongchen, there were still Xu Tianran himself, Shadow Douluo Xuechen, and an eunuch taking care of Xu Tianhe.
Logically speaking, apart from the prince and the emperor, there should be no other men in the palace. Now there is actually an extra Prince Tianhe. Even if he is under house arrest, this is not right.
Which normal emperor would let his queen have much contact with a prince under house arrest? It's not about cultivating feelings.
After noticing this, Meng Hongchen felt awkward. If it was said that Xu Tianran and Xu Tianhe had a deep brotherly love... that was pure fart!
Just when Meng Hongchen was puzzled, a palace maid reported: "Queen, the Master of Hongchen Hall is here to see you."
"Grandpa!"
< br>
Meng Hongchen was immediately overjoyed and even jumped up. She didn't have the Queen's maternal attitude at all.
Hold up the window edge and jump out.
At this moment, everyone’s ladylike demeanor is gone.
“Dream!”
As soon as Jing Hongchen saw his granddaughter, the longing in his heart also burst out. Even if we haven't seen each other for just a few days, it feels like three autumns have passed, and it's stronger than when we were exchange students.
When the eunuch leading the way saw this, he also knew that it was not easy for him to stay here anymore. So after resigning, he exited the queen's palace. The maids in the palace also stayed away, leaving private space for Jing Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Jing Hongchen began to care about how Meng Hongchen was doing in the palace after becoming the queen.
“It sounds strangely deserted.”
Meng Hongchen’s face felt lonely when he mentioned this, “Grandpa, I can’t even find anyone to talk to here.”
Who said that the emperor is the only one who lives alone.
I think even the queen is about the same.
Meng Hongchen did not say these two sentences. But the meaning in her eyes was almost the same.
Alas——
Jing Hongchen sighed secretly.
She was sorry for Meng in this matter.
However, I can only apologize for this one thing.
Thinking of this, the imperceptible determination in Jing Hongchen’s eyes flashed away. If that thing is true...
"By Meng, it has been so many days since the wedding. Have you ever gone to the imperial doctor to see if you are pregnant with His Majesty's dragon seed?"
As the queen's grandfather and the head of the family behind the queen, Jing Hongchen's question was extremely normal. Even Xu Tianran had expected it when he agreed.
So this question is not surprising.
"Grandpa!"
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Meng Hongchen blushed instantly.
Some are ashamed, but most of them are angry. It's just that this anger is not that Xu Tianran doesn't favor her, but that she doesn't like Xu Tianran at all, but she insists on becoming the queen.
Originally Xu Tianran had no time to pamper her, and it was too late for her to be happy, which also made her try not to think that she would be ruined.
But now, this matter was mentioned by Jing Hongchen.
"Okay, okay..."
Jing Hongchen comforted her repeatedly, saying that she would not ask.
But when Meng Hongchen's face returned to normal, Jing Hongchen still asked when she wasn't paying attention: "Are you pregnant or not?"
"No...Oh! Grandpa!"< br>
As soon as the words were spoken, Meng Hongchen reacted suddenly.
"If you do this again, I will ignore you!"
The blue eyes widened, like a shining sapphire. The emotion of complaint was filled with no restraint.
If it weren’t for the worry that this was a palace and that the partition walls had ears, Meng Hongchen might have blurted out: Grandpa, it’s not like you don’t know that I don’t like Xu Tianran, but you keep talking about dragon species, aren’t you talking about your granddaughter? What a worry!
“Hiss——, this shouldn’t be the case.”
Jing Hongchen seemed really puzzled and murmured: “I clearly remember that on the wedding day, it was you who had the best chance of having a dragon. When that night passed, why didn’t I get pregnant?”
"Grandpa..."
The third time.
Meng Hongchen really didn’t have the energy to say anything.
But even so, she still said truthfully: "Let me tell you the truth. So far, His Majesty has been busy with business at night, so he has not touched me. Therefore, I am still in perfect condition. This How is it possible to be pregnant with a dragon?"
"What!"
Jing Hongchen was shocked, but quickly calmed down.
"But this is not surprising. Your Majesty is talented and strategizing, and he is working hard for the empire. But it is not good to continue like this. The existence and number of heirs are related to the stability of an empire..."
"No. ! I have to go and persuade His Majesty!"
At this point, Jing Hongchen stood up suddenly.
“Grandpa!”
When Meng Hongchen saw this, he immediately wanted to stop it. However, he was stopped by Jing Hongchen, "Okay, Meng. Grandpa will go and persuade Your Majesty to put your heirs first. You are the daughter of my Hongchen family, and you are responsible for carrying on the family line for Your Majesty. Don't relax!"
One sentence made Meng Hongchen swallow it.
After that, Jing Hongchen didn’t stay any longer. After comforting Meng Hongchen that he would come to visit her next time and trying his best to bring Xiao Hongchen with him, he prepared to turn around and leave to ask for an audience with His Majesty.
But before leaving, there was a message. "Meng, if you encounter any problems in passing on the family line, then you come to grandpa. Grandpa will try his best to help you."
After that, he left the queen's palace, leaving Meng Hongchen alone sitting in his place, watching Jing Hongchen leave.
When Xue Chen, who was hiding in the dark, saw that Jing Hongchen had left the Queen's place and actually headed towards His Majesty's Imperial Study Room, he immediately flashed his figure and rushed in the direction of Xu Tianran!
As everyone knows, it was not long after Xue Chen left.
"My Lady, do you want my servant to help you to rest?"
After the palace maid could no longer hear the voices, she came to Meng Hongchen's side and asked when she saw that Meng Hongchen was in a trance.
"No, no need."
One sentence brought her thoughts back instantly. Meng Hongchen shook his head and refused, and his eyes instantly became clear.
She clearly remembered that her grandfather had said something to her and Xiao respectively before. What he said to Xiao was, "If anything happens to you, grandpa will try his best to help you. But you are a man and you have to bear your own responsibilities." But what he said to himself was, "If anything happens to you, grandpa will try his best to help you." I will help you with all my strength, because you are the treasure of our Hongchen family and my grandpa’s most beloved granddaughter.”
But now, this "try your best" has become "try your best".
Did Jing Hongchen’s heart change and his words change?
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
No!
Meng Hongchen is sure that there is definitely something wrong here! And this problem definitely lies in the so-called inheritance of the family line!
As the proud daughter of the Sun and Moon Empire, with Meng Hongchen’s wisdom, she instantly connected this matter with Xu Tianran’s weirdness.
Tricky!
What a big deal!
Perhaps, she has to go see that Prince Tianhe.
This happens to be Xu Tianran’s will.
At this moment, Jing Hongchen, who walked out of the queen's palace, could no longer maintain her good expression just now and suddenly collapsed. But because this is the Sun and Moon Palace, they took it back with lightning speed.
At this time, his heart was already gloomy.
He already knew the contents of that letter.
I'm afraid they are almost inseparable.
“Master Hongchen Hall.”
At this time, the voice of the eunuch who just led the way came.
“Let me take you out of the palace.”
"Not yet."
Jing Hongchen shook his head, "I would also like to ask my father-in-law to take me to the royal study. And please ask your father-in-law to tell Your Majesty on your behalf: Jing Hongchen wants to see you."
"This...then please Master Hongchen, follow me.”
The eunuch led the way, leading Jing Hongchen towards the imperial study. Halfway through, we just happened to pass by a dormitory.
In front of the door, there was an old eunuch sweeping the floor.
When Jing Hongchen saw this, he forced his voice into a line and asked.
"Father, is there anyone living in that palace?"
As he said that, he also handed over a gold soul coin card.
When the eunuch who led the way saw this, he was happy at first, and then accepted it. Then he lowered his voice and explained responsibly: "There should be no one, but the old eunuch was arranged here yesterday."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for clearing up the confusion."
Jing Hongchen said this.
But he was completely convinced in his heart!
He knew a lot, including that Xu Tianhe had been picked up by Xu Tianran yesterday and was placed under house arrest. Moreover, the old eunuch in the palace in front of him just appeared yesterday.
Coincidence?
How could there be so many coincidences!
Xu Tianran, Xu Tianran!
Jing Hongchen’s heart was filled with rage.
When Xu Tianran asked his granddaughter to become the queen, he was reluctant. But his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only lower his head.
Now, combined with that letter, he already knew what Xu Tianran planned! No wonder he wanted to keep Xu Tianhe alive! No wonder he was so anxious to find Xu Tianhe before!
The majestic Emperor of the Sun and Moon is actually a eunuch!
And there are also borrowed seeds...
What a borrowed seed!
If the position of queen is a pit of fire, then this borrowed seed is purely a crater! And it’s the kind that can erupt at any time!
And the life of his granddaughter is like an ordinary person walking on a tightrope, there is life at any time, no, it should be sooner or later!
Maybe...it was the moment when the prince was born in the dream, and the prince's awakened martial spirit was the martial spirit inherited from the royal family.
Like illness, hidden injury...
There is always an excuse.
Furthermore, the "resurrection from the dead" incident of the Holy Spirit Cult may make the final development of this matter even more serious.
What Xu Tianran is doing now shows that it is imperative to borrow seeds.
If the Holy Spirit Church has a way to cure Xu Tianran's hidden disease, then not only Meng will die, but Meng's remaining children, and their Hongchen family will also die!
Jing Hongchen would not doubt that Xu Tianran couldn't do it. He even dared to kill his father and brother. What else could he not dare to do? !
At this moment,
Jing Hongchen’s heart completely broke with Xu Tianran!
But this scene will have to go on after all. And in the end, he has to consider how to save Meng's life, and even Xiao's life. Even if in the end, his grandfather will die!
But if he really dies, it can be regarded as an apology to Meng.
Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen's every step became sonorous and powerful, and even his eyes changed unconsciously.
......
"...Your Majesty, this is what just happened."
In the imperial study room, Xue Chen had already finished reporting to Xu Tianran. In the queen's palace, the mirror The conversation between Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
“Alas——”
After hearing this, Xu Tianran couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Xu Tianran, as the emperor, naturally knew about Jing Hongchen's "real idea" of getting the queen pregnant with a dragon seed, so he was not surprised. After all, this was the case for relatives of all generations.
What really gave him a headache was the dragon-breeding species.
The problem...
"Snow dust."
"I'm here."
"Let's speed up the progress on borrowing seeds."
"Yes. But..."
As soon as Xue Chen agreed, his face showed hesitate. Seeing Xu Tianran turning his gaze to himself, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Queen should be very resistant to this matter. After all, she..."
"This matter is not her fault!"
Before Xue Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"I want this queen just to borrow seeds. When she gives birth to the child...if she had sense, I could have spared her life. But now it seems..." Xu Tianran's eyes suddenly became cold. Fang, "She doesn't like me from the bottom of her heart, that is, she doesn't understand my interests. So when the time comes, wait for that child If I am satisfied, then the queen can go down to accompany my fifth brother who went down before her."
"And if the Holy Spirit Cult can cure my hidden illness...then the entire Hongchen family can be on the battlefield. He died for his country.”
The harsh words made Xue Chen feel chilled.
I even felt a bit sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.
At this moment...
"Your Majesty, the Master of Hongchen Hall asks for an audience."
