But today he had a heart-to-heart talk with His Majesty, and His Majesty was indeed not planning to pass the throne to the Seventh Prince or the Eighth Prince. What was going on?

Could it be that he wanted to pass it on to his grandchildren? But His Majesty's attitude towards those imperial grandchildren was normal, and no imperial grandchildren could be summoned by His Majesty alone.

Prime Minister Song couldn't help but ask, "Li'er, do you think there really is a prince hiding behind the scenes? If so, how old would he be? Has he reached adulthood? Or is he already thirty? No, no, no, he should still be young, otherwise he would have appeared in everyone's sight long ago."

Although Qingli knew the truth, she wouldn't speak it out. How could she explain that even the Empress, the head of the harem, didn't know, yet she, the daughter of the Prime Minister, knew? It was difficult to explain. "Father, I've read too many storybooks, so I just said it casually. Maybe there's a prince who's been exiled to the countryside, or maybe there aren't any other princes. But maybe..."

"Maybe what? Li'er has always been intelligent. Why don't you just tell me what you think? I will judge for myself. Your Majesty's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to understand. I am worried that after Wei Ying returns victorious and you two get married, Your Majesty will become wary of me and the Annan Marquisate."

Qingli understood what the Prime Minister's father meant. Do you think the emperor really didn't know about the engagement between the two families before?

Not necessarily. Didn’t the Prime Minister’s father suspect that the Emperor was afraid of an alliance between civil officials and military generals, so he wanted to marry the Prime Minister’s daughter to the prince?

Zhao Jian was the only prince of marriageable age who had not yet married. Unfortunately, he was caught up in the erotic drama of two women competing for her husband, which made the emperor give up the idea.

Now that the marriage between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Annan's Mansion can continue, although it is the emperor's decree, he may not be relieved.

One day, the emperor feels that the threat is too great and may take action against the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Annan's Mansion.

So Prime Minister Song wanted to find the emperor's weaknesses and soft spots.

"Throughout the dynasties, there have been cases of women who, for various reasons, were raised as men from a young age. The most famous example is the Empress Zhuangjing of the previous dynasty, who died young. She had been disguised as a man since childhood. If she hadn't gone to the academy and befriended Emperor Chengxian, restoring her female body, I'm afraid no one would know her true identity today."

Prime Minister Song said, "Li'er means, don't be deceived by appearances?"

Qingli smiled and said, "Women disguising themselves as men are more common, but men disguising themselves as women is not impossible. Your Majesty's every move attracts attention. If there really is such a prince, it would not be easy for him to hide it from the Empress, Consort Shu and others."

Song Lingji shook his head in denial: "A man dressed as a woman? That's impossible! Even if the harem is cruel, there's no need to go to this extent."

Prime Minister Song said, "But I now feel that there really is a prince behind this, and His Majesty is well aware of his existence. You know, the feeling of risking everything and having a sure win gives people completely different feelings. But I haven't received a single word. The news about this prince is truly strange. How could His Majesty have kept it so well hidden?"

Prime Minister Song hadn't been able to maintain his position for so many years solely through flattery. Song Shuyun simply understood that the emperor, as the superior, wanted his subjects to bow to him. Every subject would try to understand the emperor's intentions, but to varying degrees.

Prime Minister Song cannot agree with the emperor in everything, otherwise the emperor will think he is too dangerous and will be on guard.

In short, during his ups and downs in the officialdom, Prime Minister Song made many efforts, and the establishment of an intelligence network was only the most basic thing.

Since his father had said so, Song Lingji also analyzed: "When His Majesty goes on tour, he is always accompanied by ministers and concubines. Under the watchful eyes of the public, it is unlikely that the prince will be exiled from the common people.

He rarely travels incognito on weekdays. If Your Majesty really has a prince who has never appeared in public and has not been discovered, then he is very likely in the palace.

Only in the palace can His Majesty have the opportunity to visit and teach me frequently. However, the only men who can stay in the palace all year round are the imperial physicians and eunuchs.

Prime Minister Song's people were spread all over the place, and they were well-informed. He analyzed the imperial physicians one by one and shook his head, saying, "There's no suitable candidate in the Imperial Hospital. A fake eunuch is impossible. If he really was in the palace, raised in luxury, then there's only one possibility: an unmarried princess."

A prince certainly wouldn't dress up as a eunuch, and the emperor wouldn't be so frustrated.

"So, it's really possible that a certain princess is the prince? Who is that?"
