Chapter 379 Request to abolish Han Ye’s status as Crown Prince
Ning Leshu's eyes lit up and his brows raised with joy.
"Dad wants me to go to Yun'an County again and publicly welcome Ying back?"
Then she is absolutely willing!
"It will take at least half a month to get to Yun'an County. This way, we're not far from the shortest time Yingying promised."
"Maybe, maybe Yingying is willing to come back with me early!"
It would definitely be a great thing if Yingying could be recognized as soon as possible.
Duke Ningguo said, "Well, since their identities have been exposed, we might as well go with the flow."
"We will bring Ying Ying back and then officially announce her identity to the public."
"She has suffered so much in Yun'an County for so many years. It's time to bring her back to enjoy a better life."
The rest of the Ning family also agreed very much. When they thought of the other party's identity as a cultivator, their hearts were burning with excitement.
"However, this time it's not you who goes, but I will go with you."
Duke Ningguo spoke again, a smile on his face.
"Dad, are you going too?"
Ning Leshu was shocked at the time.
What is her father's status? He is the Duke of the current dynasty!
With such an identity, he actually had to go to Yun'an County in person to pick up a junior.
If this gets out, what will others think?
Prime Minister Ning and others were not surprised. Based on Monk Xiao Ying's identity, he deserved their attention.
What's more, Xiao Ying is their designated head of the family, so this can better express their sincerity.
"Well, this will let people see our Ning family's attitude, so that no one will look down on Yingying."
Duke Ningguo spoke with a smile, but that smile revealed a sense of majesty.
Ning Leshu was immediately touched. His father was trying to support Yingying.
Yingying was born in the mountains and is a widow with four children.
Coming to Beijing with such an identity, it is inevitable that people will look down on you.
But if she and the Ning family take it so seriously, it will be able to dispel some people's little thoughts.
"Thank you, Dad."
A warm feeling flowed through her heart.
Duke Ningguo smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. I did this for my own reasons."
"You may already know that Yingying is a cultivator with considerable strength."
"Our Ning family has decided to recognize her as the next head of the family. She will lead the Ning family from now on."
"So I went to pick him up in person this time to express my sincerity."
A hint of surprise flashed across Ning Leshu's eyes, and then he laughed.
She had indeed guessed Yingying's identity a long time ago, but she didn't expect the Ning family to be so decisive.
He made such a decision before meeting Yingying. He is worthy of being her father.
"From now on, Yingying will be in charge of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
Although she has not told Han Ce yet, she believes that if her husband knew Yingying's abilities, he would definitely not object.
"Yeah." Duke Ningguo nodded with satisfaction.
Ning Leyan asked curiously, "Little sister, how are you going to deal with Han Ye?"
Ning Leshu frowned, his eyes filled with regret: "Now everyone knows that he is not my husband and I's son. I'm afraid he won't be able to sit on the throne of the crown prince."
"But at least I've kept him by my side for over 30 years, and we have a deep bond."
"So I want to... adopt him as my adopted son, but I don't know if he's willing."
Prime Minister Ning said, "As long as you have made up your mind, that's good."
In short, Xiao Ying must not be unhappy because of Han Ye.
So that's how it was settled.
…
As expected.
The next day, some people reported the matter to the emperor.
He also requested the emperor to abolish Han Ye's status and official position as the crown prince and demote him to a commoner!
Some opponents even fabricated stories about Han Ce, saying that he deliberately abandoned his own daughter just to have a son to inherit the family business.
Such a sinister and cruel person should be severely punished!
The emperor was just feeling a headache. The war in the north was tense, and something like this happened to his commander.
In other words, they were deliberately using this handle to suppress the Han family.
"These are just rumors. The truth has not yet been ascertained. How can I arbitrarily punish an important official of the imperial court?"
"There's no need for you to say more. We can discuss this again after we've thoroughly investigated the truth!"
Even if he knew it was true, it was impossible for him to abolish Han Ye's status as the crown prince and his official position at this time, otherwise he would be killing himself.
Han Ye is quite capable, otherwise he would not have become a third-rank Weiyuan general relying solely on his status.
Not to mention the Marquis of Zhenyuan, he is the God of War of the Moon Kingdom, how could he move easily?
This matter can only be delayed for now, and it would be best if it could be delayed until the end of the war.
Among the officials, some are happy and some are sad.
Since the emperor has made the decision, they have nothing more to say.
Anyway, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Han family.
This incident spread like wildfire in Shangjing, and soon it also spread to Beizhou.
Even though the Beizhou Army had strict discipline, it could not stop the spread of rumors.
The officers and soldiers were all struck by lightning. They could not believe that the General Weiyuan they respected was not the son of the great general!
If it was anyone else, it would be fine, but it was rumored that the general's biological daughter was that Xiao Yingxiao Renren.
Let them not even know how to vent.
Everyone in the army knew Xiao Renren, a remarkable woman who had contributed cement, kangs, and high-yield crops.
The potatoes they eat now all come from Yun'an County, and many of them are grown by Xiao Renren.
They are all people they admire, so how can they choose?
No, it doesn’t matter how they choose. What matters is how the general chooses?
"father……"
In the tent, Han Ye clenched his fists, his face hesitant.
Suddenly he bent his knees and knelt in front of Han Ce.
"There are rumors spreading out there now. Am I really not your and mother's biological son?"
He couldn't believe it, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes. He stared at Han Ce without blinking, hoping that he would deny it.
General Weiyuan, who has always been a powerful figure, now looks like a child, with a painful and confused expression.
How did he suddenly go from being the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan to being the son of a country bumpkin?
So what was his first half of life like?
All this wealth and glory, all this high status, were actually stolen?
The girl whose life he stole was Xiao Ying, who was supposed to be the legitimate daughter of a marquis, but she had suffered a lot over the years and had been living in a remote village.
But she still relied on her own abilities to become a fifth-rank imperial official step by step.
So dazzling that it is impossible to look directly at it.
He laughed at himself. Who on earth was he? Just a joke?
"Brother, this must be a rumor deliberately spread by Jingguo. You must not believe it."
Han Xi became a little anxious and stepped forward to help the man up, but was rejected by Han Ye.
"Dad, tell my brother that those are just rumors."
He had no choice but to ask Han Ce for help again. The eldest brother listened to his father the most, and as long as his father said so, the eldest brother would definitely believe it.
Han Ce just looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, and his gaze finally fell on Han Ye.
Looking at his face which looked nothing like his or his wife's, his heart ached suddenly.
He heard about this earlier than Han Ye, but he couldn't believe it and felt like he was struck by lightning.
How could this happen to him?
But this kind of rumor can be easily debunked, especially considering that the prince always mentioned Xiao Ying in front of him intentionally or unintentionally.
Some truths seem self-evident.
Xiao Ying is Han Ce’s biological daughter!
