Chapter 684: Snatching the Child



Shangguan Mochen doted on Su Xingyi very much and let him ride in the imperial carriage with him.

He deliberately took a detour to let Su Xingyi feel the majesty of the Dongjun Palace.

Su Xingyi was shocked by the magnificent and majestic imperial palace.

It made him realize that the palace was not only huge, but also the center of power. Wherever he went, the palace servants and guards knelt in a row!

If he hadn't gained experience from following Xiaoyu, he might not be able to cope with this situation and would have panicked!

Shangguan Mochen was very satisfied to see that he looked calm and was not frightened by the imperial power.

After more than 20 years of living in the countryside, he has not been contaminated by the rustic atmosphere. Instead, he is full of nobility and has a bit of the air of a superior. He is worthy of having half the blood of the Shangguan family in his body.

As the imperial carriage passed by, the palace servants raised their heads, glanced at the man sitting with the emperor, and then quickly looked away.

Oh my god, who is that?

She actually sat in the imperial chariot with the emperor!

"Are you here? Where is my eldest grandson?"

"Grandmother, my cousin should be here soon. Look at me, my grandson. I'm your eldest grandson!"

Shangguan Yunxiao quickly put his handsome face in front of the queen. He was really worried that the queen grandmother had forgotten about him, her good grandson.

Grandson?

"Hahaha... nephew Yunxiao, you used to compete with me for my favor, but now you're competing with my eldest nephew for favor."

Xiaojiu quickly sat beside the queen, holding her hand tightly.

"Mother, do you favor Xiaojiu the most?"

Shangguan Yu closed his eyes. It was too painful to watch!

"Of course, the Queen Mother dotes on Xiaojiu the most. She also dotes on Yunxiao and your elder brother. Now the Queen Mother has one more person to dote on!"

Queen Lan gave birth to three sons and one daughter. Her eldest daughter, Fu'an, married into Beiyi and died early due to complications during childbirth.

Her second son was assassinated a year later. The successive losses of a son and a daughter left her bedridden.

Later, her eldest son Shangguan Yu suffered several assassination attempts. She suddenly realized that she couldn't let herself fall ill. How could she fall ill when she hadn't even held her grandson yet?!

So he cheered himself up and took care of himself.

She was very careful with her food, clothing and other expenses, and raised her grandson.

Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a son, Xiaojiu, in her old age.

I've had some health problems in recent years, probably because I'm getting older.

Today I heard that she has a grandson, and all the discomforts in my body seemed to be cured in an instant.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Lan quickly sat up straight, staring at the entrance of the palace without blinking, and her heart couldn't help but become nervous.

Soon, a bright yellow figure walked in first, "Yun'er, our grandson is here to see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and graceful young man in purple clothes caught Lan's eye.

Lan suddenly stood up, rushed to Su Xingyi very lightly, and grabbed Su Xingyi's arms tightly with both hands.

"Grandma."

Lan didn't say anything, but stared at his face, and after a moment her eyes turned red.

She recognized him at a glance. He was Fu'an's son, her own grandson!

Su Xingyi felt a sharp pain in his heart. He felt that his grandmother was looking through him at his mother, Princess Fu'an.

My grandmother must have thought of my mother often over the years, and she must be very painful.

"Grandma, I am your grandson Su Xingyi. I will be filial to you." Su Xingyi patted Lan's back gently again and again to soothe her emotions.

Lan's eyes were red as she smiled with relief. "Ah, dear grandson, grandma knows that you are a filial child. Come on, let's go inside and talk."

The more Lan looked at Su Xingyi, the more she liked him. The shadow of Fu'an could be seen in his every move.

She never expected that during her lifetime, a grandson would suddenly appear, and he was so outstanding in appearance!

The whole time, it was Lan who was talking to Su Xingyi, and the others were just there to serve as a foil, just as listeners, and they listened very attentively.

In particular, Lan asked how Su Xingyi had lived these years?

Su Xingyi didn't want the two old people to worry about him, so he didn't say a word about the two years he was blind.

"Then do you and Princess Xiao have children of your own?"

The question asked by Lan was exactly what Shangguan Mochen wanted to know.

"Xiaoyu and I have a child now, less than three months old, and I disappeared for no apparent reason. She must have been terribly worried."

Lan glanced at Shangguan Mochen, her eyes full of dissatisfaction: Your Majesty, look at what you have done!

Shangguan Mochen: I was just anxious to confirm my identity and didn’t think about it that much!

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm worried about the child... I want to... go back as soon as possible to be with them."

Lan wanted Su Xingyi to stay and accompany her for a while longer.

Seeing Su Xingyi's anxious look, he couldn't bear to force him to stay.

After all, the baby in the belly is less than three months old, and it would be easy for the granddaughter-in-law to lose the baby if she gets anxious and angry.

It’s all the emperor’s fault for being unreliable!

"Xingyi, write a letter to Princess Xiao, telling her to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy. I will arrange for someone to send it to Huayang County as quickly as possible."

After finally recognizing his grandson, he doesn't want to let him go easily!

Su Xingyi was a bit embarrassed, with family on both sides. "Grandfather, I don't want to leave Dongjun so early. After all, I haven't seen the beautiful scenery of Dongjun yet. But I left a letter for Xiaoyu when I came here. After she finished eating the fifty portions of fruits and snacks that were packaged for pregnancy, I would go back to accompany her. That's why there were no pursuers along the way. I rushed back to Beiyi. The fifty days are almost up. I can't stay here too long. I can't break my promise to her. After the baby is one month old, I will bring the child to see you, okay?"

"Then..." Before Lan could finish her words, Shangguan Mochen interrupted her, "Xingyi, you just arrived today, so it won't take a few days. Have dinner first, and then we can talk about this matter after dinner."

Who knows what will happen in ten months?

It’s hard to say whether Xingyi can bring her children to Dongjun.

Every day you can stay is a day.

The family had a happy dinner together. Shangguan Mochen did not give Su Xingyi a chance to talk about Bei Yi's matter. He asked the palace servants to take him to stay at Princess Fu'an's Fengqi Palace.

"Your Majesty, you don't want Xingyi to go back? This won't do. The child can't have any mishaps."

"Of course, nothing can happen to the child. I am worried that Emperor Qianyuan will know Xingyi's background."

"How is this possible?"

"Yunxiao heard back from someone that Princess Xiao was blind and disabled when she married Xingyi, but he recovered after Princess Xiao moved away. The Xiao family was rehabilitated, Princess Xiao's status was restored, and she was granted the Huguo Princess Mansion, but she can't return to Beijing to visit her family at will. I don't understand this."

Lan said, "Emperor Qianyuan, even if he is a worthless person, can't just leave his blind and disabled son alone. He would definitely bring him back to the capital to be cared for secretly and arrange for an imperial physician to treat him! Not allowing Princess Xiao to return to the capital is the best arrangement for her. If she returns, wouldn't she be ridiculed by the noble ladies in the capital? After all, she was supposed to be the Crown Prince's consort, but ended up marrying a commoner!"

Shangguan Mochen thought it was possible. "I'm not afraid of the worst, I'm afraid he'll snatch the child away in ten months. The Feng family attaches great importance to bloodline inheritance."

Lan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Do you mean to take the child back and make him the crown prince?"

“It’s possible!”

"It's all speculation now. Whether he knows that Xingyi's son is his or not depends on whether he will snatch the child away in ten months."
