Tang Xiu looked at the young man who was speaking. There was no ripple in his eyes, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly as he wondered how the young man ended up here.

The message cut off, and he wasn't quite sure what happened.

Tang Xian and Fu Jiujiu learned even more.

A fleeting disappointment flashed in Tang Haojing's eyes. How could he not see that his father showed no surprise upon seeing him, even weighing the pros and cons.

He comforted himself, his father was in a high position, so he naturally thought more.

"Father, both mother and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Tang Haojing took the initiative to speak.

Tang Xiu frowned, could it be that he found out about the matter between him and Queen Nan Yu?

He was deep in thought when a woman walked over. He recognized her; Al's cousin, what was her name? Tang Xiu had forgotten.

"Ashu, Haojing and I have been waiting for you."

Tang Xiu quickly calmed down from his panic and understood the meaning of the two people. "Well, I'll come pick you up."

Tang Haojing finally broke into a smile, but the woman's expression dimmed. Fu Jiujiao once again keenly noticed this.

Of course, a woman in her twenties, approaching thirty, wouldn't be without marriage and children.

Tang Xiu said he would take them back to the capital, so she should be reluctant to leave her husband.

Fu Jiaojiao secretly took note, and when the time came, she could make her move from here.

Tang Xiu looked at the woman and smirked, "You've worked hard all these years, I apologize for putting you through this."

He looked at Tang Xian and Fu Jiujiu, "You both know?"

"It's kind of hard to know, isn't it?" Fu Jiujiu looked down on him with disdain.

How much sincerity does he have for Queen Nan Yu?

The Classic of Internal Medicine, Ji Fu, Ji Rong, how much sincerity does he have for them?

This man, every time he meets a woman, every step he takes, is calculating, using her.

Tang Xiu naturally wouldn't dare to act out a scene of deep marital affection in front of Fu Jiujiu and Tang Xian, after all, they knew his true identity.

But Duke Ji was stunned. "This...Your Highness, what's going on?"

What about his daughter and his deceased grandson?

Tang Xiu knew the situation would be difficult to control. "This is a long story,"

"It's fine, I'll tell him!" Fu Jiujiu smiled. "Grand Duke Ji doesn't know, but many years ago, the Crown Prince saved this sister-in-law of yours. Then they fell deeply in love and had Haolie. Because of various reasons, the Crown Prince couldn't bring them back to the capital, but he has never taken a legitimate wife, all because of his sister-in-law. Am I right, Crown Prince?"

Lord Ji was struck dumb, staring at Tang Xiu in disbelief.

Tang Xiu knew that Fu Jiujiu was doing it on purpose. She wanted to stir up trouble and then watch the show.

He gritted his teeth, now unable to deny it any longer, "Yes!"

Lord Ji's face turned green.

But Fu Jiujiu wasn't about to let it end there. "Prince, do you still remember Su Wen?"

Tang Xiu's nerves were on edge, and he abruptly turned to look at her, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Tweet tweet!"

Fu ChouChou was not afraid of his threat, "Are you still going to look for her?"

Aren't you a fan of using women?

"Father, who is the author of *Suwen*?" Tang Haoning realized that this woman was very important to his father.

Tang Xiu gave him a cold glance.

Fujujiao was still pestering, "Your Highness, why don't you tell him who Suwen is?"

If he dares to admit it, he's still a man.

However, Tang Xiu wouldn't dare to admit it.

Because at this moment, he was very afraid. What if his affair with Queen Nan Yu was exposed? Then he would be finished.

“She... wasn't anyone important.”

Fu Jiujiu laughed instead, "Since it's not important, I won't have to tell the Crown Prince about her."

Tang Xiu looked at Fu Jiu again, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

Ke Fu could only offer a teasing, mocking smile in return.

Tang Xiu knew continuing this topic would be detrimental to him, “Where is Queen Nan Yu? Where is she? Did you kill her?”

Tang Xiu desperately wanted to know.

Tang Xian shook her head, "Of course not. I want to take her back to the capital. There are some things that Father Emperor needs to ask in person."

"What's the matter?" Tang Xiu asked alertly.

Tang Xian smiled and said, "Of course it's an important matter. If Fourth Brother wants to know, he can just listen in when we return to the capital."

She cannot return to the capital city.

She must die.

Tang Xiu only had this one thought at the moment.

It's not just them, Tang Xiu glanced at his son and the woman beside him, they all have to die.

Everyone who knows about this will have to die.

Tang Haojing didn't know that the father he had been eagerly awaiting had already set his sights on killing him, and was still excited that he could finally avenge his mother with his father.

"Father, are you going to see Queen Nan Yu?" Tang Haojing knew how much his mother wished to see his father.

Tang Xiu frowned, "Why go see her?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he worried that Al would expose everything.

"It's rare to see you and your son together. All I want is to have a word with both of you."

Tang Xiashi said as if to make up for it.

Tang Haojing comforted himself, his father wasn't unwilling to see the Empress Dowager, but he was considering the greater good.

His father is a very capable person.

"Fourth Brother, why don't you go and rest for a while? Chat with Sister-in-law and Haojing. As for Lord Ji and the others, I will have General Cheng make arrangements."

Lord Ji was still full of anger, but because he had boarded Tang Xiu's ship, even though he knew Tang Xiu wasn't a good person, there was nothing he could do about it?

He came to Nan Yu without the Emperor's decree, this matter still needs Tang Xiu to settle.

Though it is infuriating, there is no shortage of it.

Tang Xiu didn't refuse, looking at the fake mother and son, "Alright, I'll go change my clothes first."

In the room, Tang Xiu looked at Tang Haoying and the woman who were both visibly excited, his voice cold as he questioned them like criminals, “What’s going on?”

The woman pursed her lips. “My father said we couldn’t let them know that Haolüe was the Queen’s child, so I took his place.”

She pushed Tang Haojing toward Tang Xiu, "You're here, just take him away. I can't leave with you."

"No!" Tang Xiu said coldly, "You must come with me. You are playing the role of his mother now, so you must come with me."

"No, then my child would have no mother. I have my lover, I can't go with you."

Tang Xiu frowned, even threatening, "If you don't come with me, your lover, your children, you will never see them for the rest of your life."

"Father, Aunt Cai's mother helped us."

"Haojing, I'll talk about your matter later." Tang Xiu coldly commanded his son, "Acai, I don't want to hurt you, but Tang Xian is cunning. If he figures anything out, we all die."

The woman bit her lip, falling silent.

"Father, don't you want to go see your empress mother? She has been waiting for you, she misses you very much." Tang Haozheng once again brought up his own mother.

Tang Xiu took a deep breath, unwilling to see her, yet spoke with grace. "Haoling, I really want to see her, but it's not possible now. When the time is right, I will naturally go and see her."

"When will the time be ripe?" Tang Haojing couldn't wait to ask.
