Yulin?
When Emperor Qianyuan was wondering where he had heard this name, the true appearance of the Eastern Seal was revealed before him.
Emperor Qianyuan's heart suddenly tightened and his face showed shock.
How could it be an Oriental seal?
Wasn't he assassinated by someone sent by the Queen Mother? How could he still be alive?
Why can’t he die even after being assassinated twice?
He should have thought that the anonymous person was the Eastern Seal!
"You...Seal? Senior brother? Are you still alive?" Emperor Qianyuan suppressed the anger in his heart, a look of shock and joy appeared on his face. He quickly walked to the front of Dongfang Yinzhang and looked him up and down carefully.
Afraid that he had seen it wrong, he rubbed his eyes again to confirm that the person in front of him was Dongfang Yinzhang, "Yanzhang, it's really you, you're still alive!"
Emperor Qianyuan put his arm around his shoulders and hugged him, "Great, you're back. From now on, we brothers can drink tea together and discuss the past and present, and comment on the present."
Dongfang Yinzhang's hands were stiff in the air, his expression extremely cold, in stark contrast to Emperor Qianyuan's enthusiasm.
Emperor Qianyuan saw the cold reaction of the Eastern Seal, and he felt bored. He let go of the Eastern Seal and sighed, "We brothers have met again after more than 20 years, but we are finally estranged."
Dongfang Yinzhang said calmly, "You are now the Son of Heaven, and I am a commoner. Our situations are completely different. More than 20 years ago, you arranged for someone to assassinate me, causing me to fall off a cliff and lose my memory. From that moment on, you then tried to marry my junior sister Shangguan Ruian, we were no longer brothers, but sworn enemies!"
"What are you talking about? You are my senior brother and confidant. How could I send someone to assassinate you? I have no reason. Please don't accuse me." Emperor Qianyuan defended himself with an innocent look on his face.
"You have reason to send someone to assassinate him." The old virtuous king interrupted, "The Eastern Seal is Feng Yulin, the eldest son of the late emperor's original wife, Crown Princess Jingyi, and your royal brother!"
"This... this is impossible! He is the eldest disciple of Mr. He, the Eastern Seal. How could he be the emperor's brother that father has been looking for for so many years! If he is, why didn't he recognize himself to father when he came to Beiyi?"
So what if he's Feng Yulin? He just needs to deny it. Without evidence, it's not his doing!
"He is your brother. Look closely at his face, which is very similar to the late emperor's. The emperor's uncle has held him since he was born. There is a crescent birthmark on his right arm. The emperor's uncle has verified that the one with the Eastern Seal is Feng Yulin, the eldest son of the late emperor. It is absolutely genuine, there is no doubt about it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, he is His Highness Yulin. I was the one who rescued him from the fire that year. Unfortunately, I was unable to save Crown Princess Jingyi. When I turned around to look for His Highness Yulin, he had vanished without a trace. It has been until today that I have finally seen His Highness Yulin." The old virtuous king finished speaking, tears streaming down his face as he knelt before the Eastern Seal. "Your Highness, please forgive me for my incompetence. I failed to rescue the Crown Princess and lost you."
"Mr. Xiao, please stand up quickly." Dongfang Yinzhang leaned over and helped Xiao Tianci up. "The fire was merciless back then. This is not your fault."
Xiao Lingyu was shocked. It turned out that her grandfather had saved her master in the past. Last time when she inquired about the late emperor, her grandfather refused to talk about it and kept it a secret from her.
My master, like my colleagues, did not grow up with his biological parents.
"Your Majesty, the late Emperor entrusted this old minister and the virtuous prince to secretly search for His Highness Yulin's whereabouts, regardless of life or death. Now that we have found His Highness Yulin, we must fulfill the late Emperor's last wish..."
"What last wish?"
Emperor Qianyuan's heart was pounding. Could it be that his father's last wish was for him to give up the throne he had sat on for more than twenty years?
Can't!
The emperor hadn't done enough. He didn't even want Su Xingyi to be the crown prince, let alone Feng Yulin.
"Restore His Highness Yulin's true identity and let him return to his roots."
Emperor Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "No problem! Tomorrow, Ayi and Senior Brother will reveal their identities and return to their roots..."
The old virtuous king smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you acknowledge Yulin as your royal brother?"
Emperor Qianyuan was holding his breath. How could he accept him so easily?
"Uncle, you and Lord Xiao are loyal to Beiyi, and it is even more impossible for anyone to confuse the royal bloodline. Now that I look at my senior brother's face again, I am shocked to find that he looks very much like my father."
"So this was your motive for sending someone to assassinate me back then," Dongfang Yinzhang pointed out directly. "My existence was not only a threat to the Sixth Prince, but also to you. While it was easy for you to secretly eliminate me, it wouldn't have helped you ascend to the supreme throne. Furthermore, at that time, I had no intention of recognizing my father and had no interest in that high position. I simply wanted to return to Dongjun as soon as possible. There was someone I wanted to spend my life with, and that person was my junior brother disguised as a man, Shangguan Rui'an."
"You said that junior brother is Ryan?"
Seeing that Emperor Qianyuan pretended to be ignorant and was still acting, Dongfang Yinzhang couldn't help but pull out his hands behind his back and tightly locked Emperor Qianyuan's neck, but then withdrew his hands in time.
This scene happened so quickly that by the time everyone reacted, Emperor Qianyuan was covering his throat and coughing violently.
"How dare you! How dare you harm the Emperor's body!" Empress Dowager Du shouted from the side hall, "Come here, capture this traitor!"
However, not a single imperial guard broke in. Su Ning'an had been blocking the entrance to the palace at some point, with his hands folded across his chest, giving him the aura of a single man blocking the way for ten thousand!
"Du Yu!"
Du Yu looked at Su Ning'an, hesitated for a moment, and then took the lead and rushed into the hall.
Su Ning'an raised his hand and punched Du Yu in the face.
Du Yu turned his head to avoid Su Ning'an's attack and found that Su Ning'an was only strong and did not have many martial arts moves.
He slapped Su Ning'an on the shoulder with his palm. Su Ning'an unconsciously took two steps back and punched Du Yu again.
Du Yu nimbly dodged Suning'an's powerful attack.
No matter how hard Suningan tried, he couldn't exert any strength and soon fell into a disadvantage.
The other imperial guards saw this and realized the trick, so they attacked together.
With so many people attacking, Su Ningan unexpectedly stretched out his chubby legs to attack Du Yu's lower body. Du Yu did not react in time. With a sound of broken bones, Du Yu fell to the ground and could not even get up!
"What are you still standing there for! Why don't you hurry in and rescue him? Hold him back while the rest of you rush in!"
Du Yu directed all this with great pain.
Although the effect was not very good, at least seven or eight imperial guards rushed in, and the imperial guards did not lose too much face.
"Stop!" The old wise king gave an order and the imperial guards stopped.
"His Highness Yulin is the eldest son of the late emperor! He is not a traitor. Do you want to commit treason? Get out of here!"
The eldest son of the late emperor?
For more than forty years, the palace guards have had new recruits every year. Now, those entering the palace are all adult men in their twenties, who have little impression of the late emperor.
