The emperor explained: "I just feel that Dongzhen will never be able to survive without a son. We can't cut him off."

The queen smiled and said: "It's true that this is a matter of mutual consent. Has the emperor asked Concubine An what she meant? Do you recognize this grandson or not? It's the Yan family. The cats and dogs have been raised. There are still

As for love, I heard that Mrs. Yan had no son, and she raised Yan Yu as her own son and took care of him in old age. How can I give it up easily now? It is said that it is better to cultivate kindness than to cultivate it. If you care about blood and family ties, that's all.

This caused separation of family members, and Yan Yucheng felt resentful in his heart. He might treat us as enemies. I think we should be cautious. After all, Mr. Yan is the pillar of the country. If the emperor wants to recognize his grandson, he must not hurt others' hearts.

"

The emperor nodded, feeling that the queen had far-reaching vision after all, and what she said was not like Concubine An. She was a little less knowledgeable.

Concubine An came here early in the morning and said how sad she was that Dongzhen had no son. She couldn't even hold a grandson. What's the fun in living?

Although it was a trick for a market woman to cry, make trouble and hang herself three times, the emperor just followed this trick. If the queen were replaced, let alone making trouble, she wouldn't even cry.

After all, the Emperor felt sorry for Prince Duan, so he discussed the matter with the Queen, and the couple went to see the Queen Mother together. The Queen Mother was almost seventy years old, and she was famously blessed. Her husband was promising, and she had two sons.

If you are promising, you will care about nothing but happiness in your life.

But despite this, no one can deny the shrewdness of the Queen Mother. As soon as the Emperor said that she would recognize her grandson, the Queen Mother snorted. Putting down the tea bowl, the Emperor's heart trembled and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course, it depends.

The meaning of the mother."

The Queen Mother said slowly: "Let's not talk about the Ai family next to us. You even convinced the queen. No matter what the Ai family says about ancestral etiquette, you can't listen. Songlan often goes to the Xu family these days and has met Mrs. Yan several times.

, The circles under his eyes were red and swollen. One look at it showed how sad he was. His good son was detained in Prince Duan's Mansion, and he lost face without seeing him. Song Lan told the Ai family that he was also very sad. He said that his adoptive mother did it.

In this regard, there is no difference between you and your own mother. She is planning to get married and get a wife. You guys are messing with her. I want my family to say, stop doing more evil. You don't lack the filial piety of your grandchildren. Why bother calling other people's flesh and blood?

Separation.”

The emperor smiled and said: "After all, he is your great-grandson, and he cannot live outside."

The Queen Mother said displeasedly: "The Ai family has four great-grandsons. If this one is missing, please stop trying to coax the Ai family."

The emperor was helpless and looked at the queen. The queen finally understood the queen mother's thoughts and said: "It's not for the emperor, but for Dongzhen. The emperor means it. You only care about your grandson, and you can't cut off the relationship. It's not about breaking up the family.

The flesh and blood relationship is just a title. In private, he has the final say on who to call daddy and who to honor."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and remained silent. The Queen understood that this meant she was unhappy. She looked at the Emperor. The Emperor had no choice but to leave and think of something else.

Just as the queen said, this matter is based on consensual consent. Yan Yucheng didn't believe it either. When they started making a fuss, they said it was Prince Duan's plan. Prince Duan was so angry that he had never seen anyone more irritating than Yan Yucheng.

Pointing at his nose, he said: "You are the one who rushes to be my father, but I am not the one who rushes to be your son. You care about me and I don't care about you!"

After hearing what he said, not to mention that Prince Duan was either his father or his biological father, he would probably be pissed to death.

King Duan was worried about the palace again, thinking about going to the palace in person to ask for a favor. No matter what, he had to have a son in his name. However, Yan Yucheng kept making a fuss, even refusing to eat or drink. Master Yan San also went to the palace three times a day.

If he wanted to see Yan Yucheng, he couldn't refuse him again and again. He was really worried and felt that it would be better not to recognize his son.

After receiving the letter, Mrs. Yan San even fainted from crying. Two sisters, Yan Jingyi and Yan Duanyi, also wept silently. The Yan family was in a state of sadness. Old Mrs. Xu called the Xu sisters to come and comfort her: "Help me ask about tea and food. If Mrs. Yan doesn't

If you feel comfortable, call the doctor quickly."

Xu Miaoyun temporarily put aside her homework and went to Yan's house with her two sisters.

Mrs. Yan San cried so hard that her voice became hoarse: "...I have worked hard all these years in vain!"

Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan comforted each other softly, and Xu Miaoyun talked to sister Yan Jingyi. Yan Jingyi was also sad and said: "Mom also said that if she knew that such a thing would happen, she would rather not come to the capital."

Xu Miaoyun said: "If you say that Brother Yucheng is the son of King Duan, others believe it, but you also believe it? I don't believe it anyway."

Yan Jingyi looked at no one and whispered to Xu Miaoyun: "Uncle wrote a letter and said it was impossible, but the evidence was found to make it possible. It also said it was strange. Even if it is false, can you still find a way to prove it?"

Xu Miaoyun asked: "In what month is Brother Yucheng's birthday?"

Yan Jingyi said: "The sixth day of June."

Xu Miaoyun calculated carefully and said: "If you think about it this way, Prince Duan met your aunt in August of the first year. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time, when the family was reunited. Why didn't Prince Duan go to Jiangxi in the capital?"

Yan Jingyi was stunned.

Yan Yucheng was naturally not King Duan's son, so King Duan had to make up countless lies for this big lie. The more lies there were, the more loopholes there were. If you think about it carefully, King Duan's set of excuses could not withstand scrutiny at all.

But King Duan was the emperor's most beloved son, with a prominent and noble status. If he wanted to lie, many people would inevitably follow him and falsely accuse him of lying. This is why King Duan fooled everyone so easily.

Some people guess it is false, but dare not say it. Some people know it is false, but for the sake of profit, they say it is true. When the truth is mixed with the false, it is easy for people to think it is true.

The emperor was also aware of Prince Duan's temper and felt that he did not dare to fabricate such a lie to confuse the royal bloodline. Moreover, he was also worried about Prince Duan's childlessness. In the end, he broke the pot and thought that even if it was a lie, he would call him

I admit it, at least there are people offering incense. I have issued a secret decree. In the future, the throne will not be passed to King Duan. If it is passed to him, Yan Yu will not be allowed to become the crown prince, right?

I am not afraid that the world will fall into his hands!

The emperor's silence was sometimes a reassurance. Everyone became more and more certain that Yan Yucheng was the son of King Duan. They even found many clues to prove it. In the end, the falsehood became true.

When Xu Miaoyun said this, Yan Jingyi also felt that something was wrong. Xu Miaoyun had gained a lot of knowledge with Nanny Xu these days, and her vision of the problem had become much wider, and she said: "Actually, we can deceive King Duan and say that brother Yucheng's birthday is not

On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, in order to conceal their background, the Yan family told them a month earlier or a month later to see what Prince Duan's attitude was, or asked Prince Duan how and where they met your aunt.

"What did you say? What did you do? The more detailed you ask, the more clues you can trace."

Yan Jingyi was stunned. Xu Miaoyun felt strange. When she looked back, she saw Xu Jinghuan and Prince An Cheng standing side by side at the threshold. They had been listening for who knows how long, and they were immediately embarrassed.

Yan Jingyi's face was also flushed, she was a girl after all. No matter how calm she usually was, she was speechless when she saw her fiancée. She mumbled something and hurried away without knowing what she said.

On the contrary, Xu Miaoyun was much calmer and said with a smile: "Brother, I was just joking."

Xu Jinghuan said in a deep voice: "I asked you to comfort people, not to be naughty. Go and announce quickly that Prince Ancheng is here. On the order of the emperor, please invite Mrs. Yan into the palace."

Xu Miaoyun hurriedly responded and entered the back hall.

The remaining Xu Jinghuan and Prince Ancheng all saw enlightenment in each other's eyes. As Xu Miaoyun said, if you deceive the king, everything may be clear. This method is simple and crude, but sometimes, the simpler it is

The more effective the method is, especially when dealing with a very suspicious person like King Duan.

Although Mrs. Yan San was sad, after hearing the emperor's summons, she still managed to get up, wash herself, and enter the palace with Prince Ancheng. Mr. Yan San had already arrived at Prince Duan's Mansion with Prince Duan Yan Yucheng.

The emperor looked at Yan Yucheng carefully. He was very handsome, with big phoenix eyes, snow-white skin, and the arrogance and unruliness in his eyebrows, which were very similar to those of the emperor when he was young. The emperor smiled and said, "Are you Yan Yucheng?"

Yan Yucheng looked impatient and did not say a word, wishing that the emperor would despise him. However, Mr. Yan San was so panicked that he knelt down to apologize: "You are a sinner, and your Majesty, please forgive me." He then scolded Yan Yucheng: "Your Majesty is asking you a question.

, what are you doing? Your skin is itchy again? "

Master Yan San's reprimand was completely subconscious, but Prince Duan was very embarrassed when he heard it. The emperor smiled and waved his hands, saying: "Young and frivolous, you don't need to be restrained by these rules. I think he is very good. He is very neat. He is

Follow your biological mother, right?"

Master Yan San's eyes turned red when he heard this: "When I return to the emperor, Yucheng and Chen's sister is carved out of the same mold. My late father often said that if it were a girl's family, she would be exactly the same as my sister-in-law."

The emperor nodded and said warmly: "Over the years, mother and son have been wronged, and the Yan family has also suffered a lot. What I mean is to make your sister a first-class chaste and shun wife, and her spirit throne will be enshrined in the palace, and the jade will be sealed."

How about being Prince Anyu?"

Master Yan San knew that this was the final word and was very heartbroken. Although he knew that he should be grateful, he could not say these words.

By chance, Prince Ancheng arrived with his wife Yan San. When they met Yan Yucheng, Mrs. Yan San couldn't bear it. She immediately threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly, saying, "Son! You've worried me to death!"

Yan Yucheng's eyes were also red, and he hugged Mrs. Yan San and called "Auntie!"

Everyone present was embarrassed. Mr. Yan San wanted to scold Mrs. Yan San, but he couldn't bear it in his heart. He usually treated Yan Yucheng as his own son, but now he was snatched away. How could he not feel distressed?

!

The emperor is also a father, and he couldn't bear to see a loving mother and a filial son. At this time, the Queen Mother's voice came: "The Ai family told you not to do more evil, so why bother to separate mother and son."

The emperor and Prince Duan both stood up to greet him. Prince Ancheng took this opportunity to say something to Yan Yucheng quickly. Yan Yucheng and Mrs. Yan San were close to each other. They both heard it and were both stunned, but soon

Calm was restored.

The Queen Mother was very sympathetic to the poor and weak, so she asked someone to help Mrs. Yan San up, and comforted her: "You raised her, so I will naturally kiss you."

Yan Yucheng knelt down to the Queen Mother and cried: "The Queen Mother makes the decision for Yucheng. Yucheng is really not your great-grandson. You are so compassionate and don't separate Yucheng from his uncle and aunt."

As soon as these words came out, King Duan shouted: "Yucheng, you are becoming more and more indulgent and don't know where to stand. You dare to talk nonsense in front of our ancestors."

The Queen Mother glared at him displeased: "What's the matter with you?" Then she looked at Yan Yucheng: "Good boy, just say it. The Ai family makes the decision for you. You said that you are not the Ai family's great-grandson, but what evidence is there?

"

Yan Yucheng looked even more aggrieved: "Prince Duan said that he met my mother in mid-August and that I was born in June of the following year. However, the Queen Mother clearly knew that I was not born in June at all, but in April."

As soon as his voice fell, the emperor was stunned, and Prince Duan was stunned. Even Mr. Yan San was stunned. This is what Prince Ancheng told Yan Yucheng. Follow Xu Miaoyun's method to deceive. If it is a misunderstanding, Yan Yucheng will

Yucheng was really King Duan's son. It could also be said that he deliberately lied because he did not want to leave his adoptive father and adoptive mother. The Queen Mother was kind and would definitely not punish him. If it was really fabricated by King Duan, even the emperor would not dare to be partial in front of the Queen Mother.

Mrs. Yan San also listened to the words of Prince Ancheng, so she went on to make up a lie: "The Queen Mother Mingjian. When my sister-in-law gave birth to a child out of wedlock, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were very shocked. They first had people block the news, and then my sister-in-law died in childbirth. My father-in-law

My mother-in-law was sad. After all, our Yan family is a big family in Jiangxi. If this matter spreads, there will be unmarried girls in the family. How can we talk about the marriage? So she kept it secret and only said that her sister-in-law fell ill and passed away. At that time, I had eight children.

She was 3 months pregnant, so she brought the child to me and said that she would wait until the child was born, but she only said that it was twins. Later, when I gave birth to the eldest daughter, she said that she was born in June. Later, some people close to her felt confused.

, I tried my best to inquire about it, but my father-in-law couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to, so he didn’t continue to hide it. Everyone gradually learned the truth, but Yucheng’s birthday and horoscope had already been revealed, so he didn’t change it any more.”

There were many loopholes in what Mrs. Yan San said, but in this case, Prince Duan was already feeling guilty. After hearing this, his heart skipped a beat and he felt at a loss as to where he would find loopholes.

The Queen Mother looked over with sharp eyes. King Duan was sweating anxiously, but he did not dare to wipe it away. He only cursed Du Ling who went to Jiangxi to arrange this matter for his incompetence.

.

In order to cater to the time when Yan Yucheng was born, he deliberately kept the time he spent in Jiangxi very accurately. If he changed his story rashly now, a blind man would be able to see what was going on, so it would be better to stay still than to move. But if he didn't say anything,

The Queen Mother was afraid that she would not be able to spare herself. For a moment, King Duan was in a dilemma.
