Tantai Xianming's brain whirred into action.
Emperor Chen said, "Do you know who Chen Yuyun is?"
Tantai Xianming was silent, then he said, "I know."
"He's your illegitimate son."
The Ritual Eunuch was stunned; he thought this Prime Minister would deny it, play dumb, but he never expected Tantai Xianming to take the initiative to speak and reveal this deadly news. For a moment, he sensed a life-threatening atmosphere.
Clasping the horsetail whisk tightly in his hands, he bowed his head as though he wished to hide himself away completely.
Looking at the furious Emperor, Tantai Xianming said, "From the perspective of interest, my grandson, Your Majesty, your son, is the Crown Prince, the heir to the throne, and the future Emperor. As the Crown Prince's grandfather, it would be reasonable for me to kill your illegitimate son to secure his ascension to the throne!"
