Chapter 121：

After the Nine Kings heard what Qin Qiaoqiao called him, he knew that Qin Qiaoqiao already knew his true identity, and that Kang Kang's loss just now was the other party's plan, and the purpose was to get him out.

I have long heard that this Qin Qiaoqiao is not easy, and today he is considered to be a real experience. Since this is the case, he no longer hides it and walks towards the pavilion.

Although the Nine Kings knew that Kang Kang was safe and sound and that the loss was only Qin Qiaoqiao's plan, he was still a little worried and cared: "Kangkang is okay."

Li Xia looked at the Nine Kings and heard him ask this, indicating that he was willing to confess the truth, and then replied: "I'm following my family xianggong in the temple listening to the abbot's chanting."

When the nine princes heard these words, the stone hanging in his heart completely fell, and he said: "Miss Qin, I know you are very curious about Kang Kang and me. I can tell you now that Kang Kang and I are father and son. Father and son thicker than water."

Even though Li Xia had guessed this possibility, she still felt incredible when she heard this sentence from the mouth of the Nine Princes.

She frowned and questioned: "Nine Lords, your status is honorable, and Kangkang is just the child picked up by my father-in-law on the road. The identities of the two are far apart. How can Kangkang be your son?"

Hearing this, there was a trace of grief on the face of the Nine Kings, he lowered his eyes and said: "I am sorry to Kangkang's mother, I failed to protect her."

"Where does this start?"

Looking at Li Xia, the nine princes had already confessed their relationship with Kangkang, and there was nothing to hide from Li Xia in the past that made him regretful.

"Six years ago, I fell in love with Kang Kang's mother at first sight..."

The nine princes told about the past with Kang Kang's biological mother. The more Li Xia heard, the tighter her brows were locked, and she could only sigh in the end, the sorrow of being born in the emperor's house.

Kangkang's biological mother was a court lady, and it is well known that the women in the palace are the ladies of your majesty. Even if your majesty does not favor these court ladies, they must remain loyal to your majesty and wait until they are twenty-five.

But as the younger brother of his majesty, the honorable prince, he fell in love with the women in the palace, which in itself was disrespectful to his majesty.

However, although this is disrespectful, it is not a sin. The maids in the palace and the guards agree, and there are many precedents for asking your majesty or the queen for marriage. If your majesty or the queen is in a good mood, you can agree with a wave of your hand. Anyway, there is no shortage of these few palace ladies in the Royal Palace.

So the Nine Princes also boldly asked his Majesty to give him his beloved woman.

Unexpectedly, his Majesty became furious after knowing it, and did not agree to the request of the Nine Princes.

His Majesty’s disagreement was not because he was reluctant to bear a little palace lady, but the Nine Princes were the brothers of his maternal compatriot.

Your Majesty attaches great importance to and favors this younger brother. In his opinion, his younger brother is kind and simple, and will not take the initiative to provoke the court lady. It must be the court lady who sees that she has no hope of fighting with the concubine in the palace, so she tries to hook up with the nine kings. The nine princes are simple and easy to handle.

The empress of the year entrusted her young brother to him before she died, so that he could protect his brother with peace and security throughout his life, and be happy and stable until he grows old.

How could he now see how such a scheming and humble woman could enter the palace.

So His Majesty immediately ordered the maid to be imprisoned, and gave Bai Ling to let the maid kill herself.

Knowing this, the Nine Princes were heartbroken. He wanted to beg his majesty for mercy, but as his majesty's younger brother, he knew his majesty's temper better than anything else.

He directly bought out the eunuchs who were holding the palace ladies and asked the palace ladies to carry them out of the palace after their death.

There are many servants in the Nine Princes’ Mansion. His Majesty feels that these people are quick and rewarding to the Nine Princes. Therefore, the Nine Princes did not dare to take the maids back to the Nine Princes’ Mansion. He bought a place outside for fear that these people would report the news. The mansion let the palace lady live, and the nine princes went over to meet the palace lady for a tryst.

But in order to cover people's eyes and eyes, and for fear of your majesty's suspicion, the nine princes began to act like a lost love and began to degenerate to cover the court ladies.

His Majesty watched his own brother degenerate from being kind and sensible. He thought of his mother’s dying entrustment. He felt guilty. He found many daughters of good people and wanted to give marriage to the Nine Princes. However, the Nine Princes were "heartbroken." "For reasons to refuse, this makes His Majesty even more guilty.

In this way, the two spent two years safely.

Two years later, the maid gave birth to a child for the Nine Princes. The Nine Princes who had harvested the crystallization of love were extremely happy and wished to celebrate with all the world, but in fact he could only hide his beloved woman and child.

But there is no way. After being known by His Majesty, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if His Majesty attaches great importance to his emperor, it is impossible not to pursue it. The other princes have long been jealous of His Majesty’s respect for him, and once they are caught Little tail, they will never let it go easily.

The nine princes were worried in his heart, and he acted more cautiously.

It happens to be what you worry about.

The four princes, who are not allowed to be respected by your majesty, have long been jealous of your majesty’s respect for the nine princes, and have always wanted to trip the nine princes, but these years have not been able to grasp the vitals of the nine princes. I don’t care about it at all.

He was worried, so he heard a message in the shop saying that the Nine Princes had a concubine's room outsourcing, and this concubine's room also gave birth to a son for him.

When the Fourth Prince heard this news, he sent someone to investigate whether the matter was true, thinking about instigating a few words before his Majesty. After all, the Nine Kings claimed that he was "heart-dead" and refused to accept the gift of marriage, and ended up raising other women outside.

Unexpectedly, the results of the investigation surprised the four princes. The woman was actually the maid who was given death by His Majesty's order.

The nine princes actually dared to violate the will of his majesty by stealing beams and changing posts. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

The fourth prince, who had always been at odds with the nine princes, would naturally not let it go easily. He reported the matter to his majesty the first time, and verbally instigated it.

What a noble status is your Majesty, how can he tolerate someone deceiving him? After he learned about this, he immediately ordered the nine princes to be imprisoned and sent someone to arrest the maid.

The cronies of the Nine Princes confided the letter to the maid in advance, and the maid took the child and fled first.

When the Nine Kings came out after being confined for three months by His Majesty, there was no trace of the maid and the child, but he did not give up. He kept looking for the whereabouts of the two with the idea of ​​seeing people dead or corpses.

The nine princes sighed after speaking, and said: "Although I have been sending people to look for it, I actually don't have much hope in the past few years. But just a month ago, a new servant came to the palace. Her maid said about it and learned that the child I was looking for had three red moles growing side by side on the back of his neck, so she said that he had heard his father talk about such a child."

"This person's father is a fortune teller in the village. He said that a poor scholar in the same village picked up a child. Because the mole on the back of the neck was too strange, he asked him to do a calculation to see if there was anything wrong with the mole. Where appropriate, he remembered that the hexagram indicated that this child had a rare good fortune in a thousand years, so he remembered it very firmly."

"In this way, I found the Qin Mansion. The first time I saw Kang Kang, I knew he was my child, because he and Yun'er are almost carved out of the same mold, and the eyebrows are so similar."

After hearing this, Li Xia couldn't help taking a breath.

There is no such content in the original script of this world. How could the adopted child suddenly appear with a biological father?

Is it possible that she wants to return the child to the Nine Princes?

But if it is returned to the Nine Lords, what about her system tasks? The child is only four years old and is still a thousand miles away from the age of 18. Is it going to end in failure?

But if she doesn't return it to the Nine Princes, can she beat the Nine Princes?

Even in a modern society with relatively sound laws, children have the right to choose to return to their biological parents, let alone an ancient society that only talks about power.

Li Xia, who didn't know what to do for a while, fell into silence.

But at this moment, the Nine Princes seemed to see through Li Xia’s thoughts, and he took the initiative to say: "Miss Qin, I know that you and Wei Gongzi treat Kang Kang like your own flesh and blood. You have put a lot of thoughts and feelings into raising him over the years. So I never thought about taking Kang Kang from you."

"Why?" Li Xia asked back.

The nine princes shook his head helplessly and said: "His Majesty looked at the things that happened in the past for the sake of my brothers. Although he only restrained me for three months, it does not mean that he can tolerate this child. If this child exists in the palace, It is always reminding your Majesty what happened in the past, in case of anger, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect Kangkang's life.

It would be better to let Kangkang stay in your Qin Mansion, so that he can grow up safely and happily under the care of his parents, and as long as I can see his smiling face from behind, that's enough. "

When the Nine Kings said these words, Li Xia could fully understand that in this dynasty, the emperor did not allow sand, and things that were not allowed to exist in the past will not be allowed to exist now.

She took a deep breath and said solemnly: "You can rest assured that I will let Kangkang grow up carefree. As for you, you can visit Kangkang at the Qin Mansion at any time, but please keep the Nine Lords strictly confidential. Don’t disclose to Kangkang your father-son relationship with him. He is still too young and I am afraid it will affect his growth."

When the nine princes heard that he could visit Kang Kang in the Qin Mansion from time to time, most of the haze on his face disappeared. He gratefully said, "Thank you Miss Qin, I really don’t know what to say, if it wasn’t for the adoption of Kang Kang by the son of Wei. Kang, I'm afraid Kang Kang has already gone with his mother."

"Nine Princes don't have to worry about it, all of this is fate."

After Li Xia finished speaking, he thought of the rumors that the Nine Kings were idle and unlearned. After the explanation of the Nine Kings, Li Xia knew that he had done it deliberately for His Majesty, but for the sake of Kangkang’s future consideration, Li Xia Feel the need to persuade the nine kings to cheer up.

Li Xia said: "Nine Lords, I have a personal suggestion that I don't know how to say it improperly."

"Miss Qin, please say."

"Your Majesty and the Nine Princes are brothers, but because of Kang Kang's biological mother, the Nine Princes are reluctant to face your Majesty again, but I want to persuade the Nine Princes not to escape and return to the court."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty already trusts the Nine Kings. If the Nine Kings can serve for the court, he will definitely become your majesty's right-hand man and an indispensable minister of the whole country. Then if one day in the future, Kangkang's life experience is exposed, your majesty can also consider it. Because of your weight in the court, I dare not touch Kangkang easily."

The Ninth Prince was silent for a while after hearing the words, and replied: "Miss Qin said that I will return to the court for Kangkang."

At this moment, Li Xia was only planning for Kangkang's life from the perspective of her mother, but she did not expect that just a few words would completely change the fate of the Nine Kings, Kangkang, the Qin Family, and the entire country.
