Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 47 The Secret of the Royal Family
The next morning, Emperor Song personally wrote two imperial edicts, one for Huo Qingluan and Song Jiyang, and the other for Qin Hai's sons Qin Feng and General Liu Yu, appointing them as deputy commanders to assist Qin Hai. Together they fought against the Beidi Kingdom.

After the Song Emperor finished issuing the decree, all the officials thanked him for their grace.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, Qin Hai, Qin Feng and Liu Yu were summoned to the imperial study for an audience.

"His Majesty!"

"Without courtesy, sit down!" Emperor Song waved his hand, "The three of you are my pillars and people I trust. The war in Beidi is tense. I hope the three of you can work together to resist the enemy."

"Wei ministers and others should do their best."

Emperor Song nodded with satisfaction, and after a few brief explanations, he asked Qin Hai about his plans: "Old General Qin, do you have any ideas on how to fight this battle?"

"Your Majesty, I intend to send someone to test out the situation in Beidi first. If their defenses are lax, we will take the initiative to attack. If they are more vigilant, we will wait for an opportunity."

Emperor Song thought for a moment and said: "Okay, you will be responsible for this matter. In addition, Beidi has a vast territory and food is scarce. I plan to transport rice from the eastern coastal areas to support Jokhang's army. General Qin thinks this method can be used appropriate?"

Qin Hai quickly praised: "Your Majesty is wise, but I have a small request. I wonder if your Majesty can allow it?"

Emperor Song frowned, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it!"

"Yes!" Qin Hai raised his hand, "Your Majesty, marching troops to fight has always been an arduous process, and food and grass need to be guaranteed. Therefore, I would like to suggest that your Majesty, can your Majesty let His Royal Highness the Regent take charge of this matter?"

When Emperor Song heard this, his expression became solemn.After pondering for a long time, he said: "I arranged for the regent to investigate two murder cases in Zhongdu a few years ago. He has been investigating for so long and still has no results. Why does General Qin think that it is safe for the regent to take charge of this matter?"

When Qin Hai heard this, he said calmly: "I believe in the regent. His ability is far better than ordinary people, and he can definitely handle things beautifully. As for the affairs of Zhongdu, I think your majesty already knows about it."

"Really?" The corners of Emperor Song's lips curled up, half-smiling, "Old General Qin has seen things through."

Qin Hai lowered his eyes and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Song slowly uttered two words: "Okay, it's time to play!"

Qin Hai smiled gratefully, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely return with good news!"

Emperor Song nodded, "On the day of your general's triumphal return, you will definitely get drunk with me before you rest!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

After Emperor Song gave a few more instructions, Qin Hai left the palace with Qin Feng and Liu Yu.

……

At the Prince Regent's Mansion, Huo Qingluan came in angrily holding a roll of imperial edict and smashed it hard in front of Song Jiyang.She glared at Song Jiyang in front of her and said coldly: "Song Jiyang, why did you go to His Majesty to propose a marriage without discussing it with me? Do you know that this will make them suspicious?"

"Don't worry, no one will be suspicious. Even if it is, it doesn't matter." Song Jiyang raised his head and looked at Huo Qingluan's beautiful and angry look, feeling a little distressed, "Why are you running in such a hurry? It's so slow. Slow down, don't fall."

Huo Qingluan gritted his teeth and said, "Now is not the time to worry about this. What on earth did you tell His Majesty that he would actually agree to your contract with me! Don't he and the Queen Mother want to get the old man's things from me?"

"I didn't say anything. It's just that it's the same for him whether you marry me or marry the seventh prince." Song Jiyang said after being silent for a while.

"Whatever the name is, it's the same? The Seventh Prince is his biological son, and you're not... Wait, are you... No, how is this possible? Isn't your mother Princess Jinyang? She is His Majesty's biological sister! Or is Princess Jinyang having a difficult childbirth? His Majesty gave his illegitimate son to Princess Jinyang?!" Huo Qingluan's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't figure out the relationship between Song Jiyang and the emperor for a while.

Song Jiyang sighed, took her hand to a nearby chair, and helped her sit down: "This matter involves some secrets, and I shouldn't tell you originally. But you are my wife. Then I shouldn’t hide it from you.”

He paused, "Princess Jinyang is indeed my biological mother, but my biological father is not General Bai. My father is the superior one, although I don't like him."

"Wait a minute, isn't Princess Jinyang your Majesty's biological sister?" Huo Qingluan said in surprise, feeling like he had opened up a new world.

"No, it's not. The real Princess Jinyang is actually Bai Ruohua, who was later specially named Princess Zhaodi."

Huo Qingluan opened his eyes wide, "What?"

"At the beginning, in order to strengthen the relationship between the Bai family and the royal family, the Queen Mother exchanged her children with children of the Bai family who were only a few years old. From then on, the Bai family was forced to support His Majesty. However, this method There are limitations after all, because my mother will always get married when she grows up. In this regard, the Queen Mother came up with an idea to let Her Majesty and Princess Jinyang conceive an offspring, which is me. She also ordered a marriage. My father is my mother’s betrothed.”

Huo Qingluan frowned. This truth made her very unhappy: "If you marry a princess, your consort will not be able to inherit the Bai family even if you marry a concubine. This move is really vicious."

Song Jiyang's eyes flashed with hatred: "Yes, the Queen Mother just wanted me to be the Bai family's puppet, her sword and spear, and her slave! Unfortunately, since then, the Bai family has gradually faded out of the court and retreated. After living in the south of the Yangtze River, my father's lineage is the only one left in Zhongdu. How do you think I, the regent, came to be?"

Huo Qingluan suddenly realized: "No wonder, I said that Dazhao is now in a period of prosperity, and your Majesty is not a confused person. Why did you, the regent, appear? It turned out to be a plan of your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

"That's not surprising." Song Jiyang smiled and did not explain further.

Huo Qingluan looked at him. The young man's face was still handsome, but there was a bit more vicissitudes in his eyes, which made people feel inexplicably sad: "Song Jiyang, you want to marry me, and I will not allow you to be a coward. If If someone bullies you, humiliates you, or harms you, just destroy him, and don’t worry about others.”

Song Jiyang was stunned, then smiled, stretched out his hand to rub the top of her hair, "Luan'er, do you still have any questions?"

Huo Qingluan curled his lips and said angrily: "No more."

Song Jiyang's eyes flickered as he looked at the imperial edict on the desk in the distance, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

Huo Qingluan, whose thoughts were interrupted by Song Jiyang, simply forgot about his original purpose. Perhaps it was because he was not disgusted with the marriage, or perhaps because of his unconditional trust in Song Jiyang.After all, by the time Miss Huo remembered it again, it was already a few days later.
