Everyone's expressions changed with shock.

The enmity between Mu and Qi is not new in recent decades.

After the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of the two countries began to fight for territory. They fought countless times in the past hundreds of years.

Now, the Chu family, known to be loyal and patriotic, actually has a son of Qi people’s blood?

Chu Hanlin's face was still gloomy.

But when Chu Yan saw everyone's reaction, his heart gradually became cold.

No wonder the Ninth Prince made some arrangements in the first place. All the civil and military officials and even the common people had nothing but hatred for the same people.

Prime Minister Lu was the first to not believe it, "What kind of mess was picked up at the border? Is it from Qi people?!"

Mr. Cao Ge glanced at Wang Huai.

Wang Huai hurriedly said: "The woman herself admitted that they were from Qi. Duke An, what I said was not a lie, you know!"

Mr. Cao Ge clasped his hands and looked at Chu Hanlin. He was not impatient, but asked slowly and leisurely: "Mr. An Guo, do you want to admit the rest to yourself, or do you want me to tell you for you?"

Chu Yan, on the other hand, is young and can no longer stabilize himself.

His face was pale and his hands and feet were cold.

He thought that if Mr. Cao Ge said this, he must know his life experience.

Mr. Cao Ge gave the Chu family and his father a chance.

If he takes the blame, then the whole Chu family will be safe!

"Your Majesty, actually I..."

Before Chu Yan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Hanlin's scolding: "Shut up!"

Chu Yan looked over, his eyes filled with reluctance.

He didn't want to implicate the Chu family.

He would rather die!

But Chu Hanlin didn't give him this chance, and already said: "Since Mr. Cao Ge said it in front of the emperor and the ministers, I might as well admit it. Yes, my Wulang is indeed not my biological blood. He is my descendant."

During the border war, he was rescued from a Qi man."

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused a lot of discussion.

Even Prime Minister Lu was furious.

Chu Hanlin, you are confused!

Since he is a native of Qi, he can be raised by others, so why should he be raised by himself?!

No, Mr. Cao Ge took advantage of it and filed a lawsuit!

But the two families were related by marriage, so Prime Minister Lu said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it doesn't matter whether Chu Wulang is of Qi family or not. What matters is that he is the son of An Guogong and is loyal to the Emperor!"

Cao Ge Laohan's face was grim.

Sure enough, as soon as Prime Minister Lu got married to the Chu family, he started to protect him.

He also didn't expect that Chu Hanlin would be so stable, only admitting that Chu Yan was from Qi, and not saying anything else.

But it doesn't matter, he has already arranged everything, he just needs to wait.

He said: "He is from Qi, how can he be loyal to the emperor?! You know, he is not the biological son of Duke An Guo!"

Chu Hanlin smiled and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Mr. Cao Ge, a son recognizes his father and a father recognizes his son. That's no different from a biological father and son, right? For someone like Mr. Cao Ge, even if he is a biological father and son, it's useless.

.”

These words were specifically meant to poke holes in Mr. Cao Ge's heart.

Many people in the palace could not bear to laugh.

This is really the first time I have seen someone like Mr. Cao Ge.

The wife wanted to divorce, but the son still didn't want to follow his father and went to the government to change his surname. This was something they had never seen before.

Sure enough, Mr. Cao Ge was furious at this moment and said it himself first: "Chu Wulang is not an ordinary Qi man, he is the brother of Emperor Qi! He is a spy of Qi State, how can he be loyal to the emperor!"

"What?!" Mr. Xu Ge was shocked.

Others reacted the same way.

Chu Yan's face turned even paler and he couldn't help but hold on to his clothes.

His breathing almost stopped.

Mr. Cao Ge really knows his life experience!

Although my mind is not blank, I am still thinking about how to explain and respond.

Mr. Cao Ge looked at him and strengthened his suspicion, saying: "Mr. An Guo, you have always been loyal to the emperor and have never had a second thought. The ninth princess has saved me from danger several times. You must not know the true identity of this son."

Right? If you knew the identity of this son, you would probably kill him right then, right?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Yan.

It's nothing more than talking about Qi people's bloodline, but he is still a member of the royal family, how can he keep these words.

He now has extraordinary hearing and can hear what they are saying.

How to break the situation?

It is nothing more than admitting it yourself and taking all the charges to keep the Chu family safe!

However, Chu Hanlin walked up to Chu Yan. He was tall and seemed to have blocked all rumors.

Chu Yan's nose was sore. He looked at his father's broad shoulders and choked up: "Father..."

"I really don't know. Since Mr. Cao Ge has made the accusation, is there any evidence?" Chu Hanlin remained calm, first handed over to Emperor Mu Wu, and then looked at other officials, "Evidence is required in everything, and it is not for Mr. Cao Ge to just scare you with a few words.

It’s become real!”

Cao Ge Lao choked and was speechless for a moment.

Emperor Mu Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Mr. Cao Ge probably found out Chu Yan's identity but had no evidence, so he did this to scare Chu Yan, a young boy, and make him reveal his flaws.

So insidious!

Fortunately, Chu Yan was not too impulsive, and Chu Hanlin also saw Cao Ge Lao's tricks and did not get into trouble.

Emperor Mu Wu also joked at this moment:

"Yes, Mr. Cao Ge, after talking for so long, do you still have evidence? Emperor Qi is cruel, and you insist on saying that his son is related to Emperor Qi. Do you know how big a crime this is?!"

"You have been through two dynasties and are a pure minister. You only have the country and the people in your heart. I have always been very tolerant of you. But this does not mean that you can slander Duke An Guo at will!"

In the end, he lost his temper.

Facing the emperor's questioning, Mr. Cao Ge's face was pale and his figure was unstable.

Emperor Mu Wu sighed in his heart.

Mu State and Qi State have been at war with each other for many years, and the grievances have been deep. If it is really proved that Chu Yan is the biological brother of Emperor Qi, the Chu family will suffer disaster.

Because Emperor Qi was cruel, he led the troops in several battles in the early years.

He and Taoist Baimei used their magic to kill many soldiers of the Mu Kingdom, and they almost came to Kyoto.

It can be said that there is no veteran official in the court who does not hate Qi Hong.

But by chance, Chu Yan was rescued by Chu Hanlin and brought back to the Chu family to be educated. Since he had previously saved Chu Yan, Emperor Mu Wu had no doubts about it.

He is the brother of Liu Yatou and the person that the ninth brother wants to protect, so he will do his best to protect Chu Yan!

More importantly, as long as Qi Hong loves and protects his younger brother, the two countries will never go to war again. Even if the two countries have great hatred, as long as it is beneficial to the people, he can turn a blind eye.

It's just that Mr. Cao Ge doesn't know Qi Hong's thoughts and wants to suppress the Chu family, so he insists on holding on.
