It has been some time since Li Qian and Cai Ze’s wedding banquet.
In a blink of an eye, the end of the year was approaching and the weather had turned completely cold. The emperor didn't dare to take Yu Yiluo with him anymore, so he moved the memorial directly to Concubine Xian's side hall to deal with it.
The concubines in the harem were so jealous that they gnashed their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.
[Why is the tyrant suddenly so clingy? Did I miss something while I was asleep? He suddenly moved the memorial to my mother. The speed at which our relationship heats up is faster than the weather.]
The emperor's eyes twitched and he put down the pen.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice has reported that something seems amiss with Yang Xin."
Eunuch Cao walked in and spoke.
"Not quite right?" The emperor frowned. "What's wrong?"
【Is it true that Yang Xin has returned? 】
"Something's not right here," Eunuch Cao raised his hand and pointed to his head, "He keeps talking nonsense."
Yu Yiluo sighed in disappointment.
【Well, I'm happy for nothing.】
"Don't worry about it unless there's anything else."
Eunuch Cao hesitated as he took out a memorial and said, "This is a memorial from the new Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
The emperor took it and glanced at it. "You just arrived in the capital yesterday, and you can't wait to hand me a memorial."
…
Yang Mansion.
Madam Yang paced back and forth in the room. Seeing her husband come in, she hurriedly took the cloak from him and asked softly, "How did the master find out?"
Yang Wen sat down on the chair and drank a sip of hot tea to warm himself. "To be able to do such a treasonous thing, it must be... I have sent a letter to the emperor. When the emperor summons me, I will ask if I can see him."
As the two were talking, a maid knocked on the door and walked in. "Master, someone from the palace is here to ask you to come in immediately."
Yang Wen didn't dare to delay, stood up, took the cloak and left the house.
"Master, please don't offend the Emperor for her. Just think of our Xin'er as having died a few months ago."
Madam Yang called out to Yang Wen with a choked voice, and after watching his back disappear, she covered her face and burst into tears.
How could her daughter have such a miserable life?
Yang Wen walked out of the mansion and took a carriage to the palace gate.
He thought that after he got off the carriage, the palace maids would take him to the imperial study, but they ended up going further and further away.
"Did you take the wrong road?" Yang Wen stopped. He had only been in the capital for one day and had not offended anyone. So who was targeting him?
"Your Excellency, the Emperor is not working in the Imperial Study."
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Yang Wen put away his guard and continued to move forward with the palace servant.
Arriving at the side hall of Zuihua Palace, the palace servant stopped and said, "Sir, we're here."
Yang Wen was stunned. Is it appropriate for the emperor to meet him in the harem?
"Sir Yang, please come in." Eunuch Cao came out and called the stunned Yang Wen in.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor." Yang Wen entered the side hall and saluted without looking away.
"Get up!"
Yang Wen stood up and saw the emperor holding a delicate baby in his arms, feeding the baby skillfully with a bottle in one hand. He was so shocked that he almost knelt down again.
[No, the tyrant didn't do anything, why does Yang Wen look so shocked?]
Yu Yiluo raised her hand and grabbed the bottle, and instantly understood.
[I was shocked to see the tyrant breastfeeding me. This shouldn't be the case. There are rumors out there about how favored my mother and I are. Feeding me breastfeed shouldn't be a big deal, right?]
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm asking to see you because I want to see someone."
[Wow, that's pretty straightforward. It seems the things the time-traveling girl did have spread everywhere. Fortunately, she changed her name when she entered the palace to avoid embarrassment.]
The emperor was also a little surprised, but it would be better to be more straightforward.
"You're quite direct. Who do you want to see?"
Yang Wen said respectfully, "I dare not lie to the emperor. I wish to see Yang Xin."
"There is no such person as Yang Xin in the palace." The emperor put the bottle aside and took the handkerchief handed to him by eunuch Cao to wipe Yu Yiluo's mouth.
"But there is a guy named Yang. You can go meet him."
Yang Wen almost thought he had misheard. Did the emperor agree just like that?
But it is also true that the emperor has great connections and must know that the two are father and daughter.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded and said, "Eunuch Cao, take Lord Yang to the secret prison of the Ministry of Justice."
…
The two went to the secret prison of the Ministry of Justice, and Eunuch Cao led Yang Wen to the place where Yang Xin was imprisoned.
"Master Yang, I will go back first."
Yang Xin heard the voice, slowly raised his head, and in the dim light he could see Yang Wen standing at the door of the cell.
Her eyes lit up with joy, and she suddenly stood up from the ground and walked to Yang Wen.
How could she forget such an important thing? She still has the Yang family, and she is not penniless yet. The Yang family loves Yang Xin so much, they will not let her die!
She was almost driven crazy by staying in this dark and secret cell every day.
Although the people from the Ministry of Justice did not torture her, they took her to watch executions from time to time, constantly torturing her psychologically.
Yang Wen stared at her for a moment, then looked away in disappointment. His daughter's eyes would never show such calculating emotions.
"Daddy, you came to see me."
The time-traveling girl didn't notice Yang Wen's expression and imitated Yang Xin's tone and asked, "Daddy, are you here to rescue your daughter?"
Yang Wen closed his eyes and said, "You are not Xin'er, no matter how hard you try to pretend."
He and his wife have only one daughter, Xin'er, and they know Xin'er's personality very well.
"When did you know this?" The time-traveling girl was surprised.
"You knew it when you woke up from Xin'er's fever."
At that time, he and his wife could not accept it at all and wanted to find out where their daughter had gone. However, before they could ask, the man claimed that he could not remember anything and evaded their questions.
I thought that it was fate that she took over my daughter's body. Since I couldn't see my daughter raising her, the lady in the mansion also had some hope.
Who would have thought that this man not only caused chaos in the mansion, but also canceled his daughter's marriage without authorization and severed ties with them.
"Since you all know, I'll be frank. I'm definitely not your daughter, and I'm certainly not from here. I..."
Yang Wen interrupted her long speech with an indifferent expression, "I don't care about other things, I just want to know where my daughter is."
"You're right to ask that," the time-traveling woman pretended to be thoughtful. "Your daughter must have swapped bodies with me. Don't worry, your daughter will be absolutely fine."
In fact, she had no idea where Yang Xin had gone, let alone whether she was dead or alive. But now she was still counting on the Yang family to rescue her, so she definitely couldn't say she didn't know.
"You're not lying?"
To make her words more credible, the time-traveling woman patted her chest and said, "Of course, as long as you promise to rescue me, I will naturally find a way to get your daughter back."
"What if I don't agree?" Yang Wen had handled many cases and could tell at a glance that she was lying.
"It's not up to you," the time-traveling woman sneered. "This body belongs to your daughter. If you don't want to save her, it's your daughter who will die. I just don't know if your wife, who loves her daughter dearly, will follow her."
