The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1687

Chapter 1687: 820 Astonishing Secrets (First Update)

The king received a threatening look from Gu Jiao—Wait, why are you interrupting me scolding this kid?

So fierce, is she a wolf?

Each one of them has left the king’s head aching. Every time he thinks nothing could be more irritating, these troublesome brats manage to do something even worse.

There’s no need to mention Shangguan Yun, who has been a source of annoyance since childhood.

Shangguan Qing used to be obedient and lovable, but after the "birthmark on the buttocks" incident, the king knew how improper this little thing was behind the scenes.

——Who does he take after? Neither the Shangguan Family nor the Xuanyuan Family have such disrespectful traditions.

However, Shangguan Qing and Shangguan Yan at least know how to behave appropriately, while this kid refuses to comply and is blatantly arrogant!

He used to call me "Grandfather Emperor" so affectionately, but now that the Han Family and the Crown Prince’s faction have fallen, he doesn’t even bother pretending!

The king gritted his teeth and turned his face away, saying coldly, "All of you, leave! I don’t want to see any of you!"

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Shangguan Yun: "Oh."

Xiao Hen remained expressionless.

The mother-in-law duo and Xiao Hen turned around simultaneously and left without looking back.

The king widened his dragon’s eyes: "...?!"

Just like that? Just like that?!

Not going to resist at all?

Lord Yun Shan watched the whole drama unfold, rubbed his nose dejectedly, and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave as well."

"Come back!" the king yelled sternly.

Aren’t my feelings taken into account at all?

Lord Yun Shan shrugged helplessly, "Your Majesty, I haven’t seen Xiaoxue for days and I miss her. Surely, you won’t prevent a father from seeing his daughter."

Why don’t you stop wandering around every day then! Now you remember being a father? Where were you before!

It was the king’s most frustrating day. Everyone big and small in the room was just there to agitate him.

In the end, the king didn’t force Lord Yun Shan to stay, waving him away.

After Lord Yun Shan left, Zhang Dequan mustered the courage to walk into the room and smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, weren’t we going to discuss rewards? How..."

Did it turn out like this?

The king gripped the armrest tightly and snorted coldly, "They don’t care about our rewards at all!"

Glory, splendid future, country and empire, they hold no value!

Even myself—

The king took a deep breath to suppress his raging anger: "If they don’t care, then I don’t care either!"

Zhang Dequan felt thoroughly confused.

Why does it sound like the majesty is sulking with someone?

Did the Third Princess do something to the majesty again?

This time, it wasn’t the Third Princess Shangguan Yun but Xiao Hen.

"Humph!" The king was so angry that he pounded the table with his fist.

Zhang Dequan: "..."

At this point, concealing Xiao Hen’s identity was meaningless. Whether or not the king figured it out today in the Imperial Study Room, Shangguan Qi would reveal it in the Sky Prison in a few days.

Shangguan Qi had orchestrated numerous assassination attempts against Xiao Hen, and if convicted, another noble family would fall.

All ten major families are implicated; every debt will eventually be settled. However, priorities must be set, especially when facing a major enemy; the noble families must preserve their strength.

On this issue, Shangguan Yun and Xiao Hen were in agreement.

A person shouldn’t be solely driven by hatred; revenge can wait, but protection cannot be delayed.

Shangguan Yun, Xiao Hen, and Gu Jiao boarded a carriage heading to the Duke Residence, while Lord Yun Shan took his own carriage, unhurriedly following behind.

Thinking about Lord Yun Shan’s appearance, Gu Jiao voiced her doubts, "His eyes are different from ours."

People from the central plains rarely have such eye color.

Shangguan Yun paused and said, "Lord Yun Shan is not the late emperor’s offspring. His biological father was a Turkic, and to preserve the royal family’s honor and prevent the empress dowager from being criticized and punished, the king falsely claimed that he was the late emperor’s posthumous child."

This astonishing secret was disclosed so casually that even Xiao Hen was at a loss for words.

He left his carriage and boarded the Duke Residence’s carriage. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
