"Also, Huang Yanjing and Princess Li Chenfeng, they are actually, actually - a pair of lovers."
The successive revelations left Xie Wanyun stunned. The seemingly glamorous royal family was actually harboring such filth.
"What on earth is going on?" she asked.
A sneer appeared on Li Fengmian's lips.
"Back then, the late emperor favored Consort Liu alone. To win his favor, the empress dowager found a beautiful woman from the common people and kept her by her side, waiting for an opportunity to present her to the late emperor. Later, Consort Liu learned of this and cried and made a fuss, demanding the execution of this "seductive woman who seduced the emperor."
The Empress Dowager couldn't bear it, so she said the woman committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but in fact she hid her in a garbage truck and quietly sent her out of the palace. But at that time, they didn't know that the woman was already pregnant and later gave birth to a boy, Huang Yanjing.
The woman found a way to inform the empress dowager, but the empress dowager was afraid that Concubine Liu would find out, so she did not dare to tell the late emperor about it. She only sent people to look after the mother and son from time to time, and took Emperor Dezong, who was still a child at the time, out of the palace to see them. As a result, the emperor and the half-brother Huang Yanjing had a very good relationship since childhood.
After Emperor Dezong ascended the throne, he vigorously promoted Huang Yanjing and placed greater trust in him. This was the reason."
Xie Wanyun was speechless for a long time.
"Back then, Emperor Dezong, still a prince, brought Huang Yanjing to meet the eldest princess, Li Chenfeng. Unexpectedly, the two of them secretly fell in love, but due to their respective identities, this relationship could not be made public. They became secret lovers and are said to have had an illegitimate child."
Li Fengmian finished speaking in one breath. Looking at Xie Wanyun's shocked expression, he finally felt that he had the upper hand over her. He smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Xie Wanyun let out a long sigh, "I'm not scared, but it's just a little unexpected."
Li Fengmian sneered, "Everyone says the Tang Dynasty was dirty and the Han Dynasty was stinky, but in fact, which dynasty in history was clean? If you don't believe me, you can ask the Queen Mother."
"No need." What's the point of asking clearly?
Li Fengmian suddenly raised his voice, "Xie Wanyun, don't you want to save Yan Suizhi? I'm not telling you this for gossip!"
How could Xie Wanyun not understand what Li Fengmian meant? She wanted her to use these secrets to threaten the emperor and Huang Yanjing, forcing them to release Yan Suizhi.
But... she didn't want to do that after all.
She was really touched that Li Fengmian still cared about Yan Suizhi at this time.
Seeing her expression, Li Fengmian couldn't help but shake his head. "It's already this time, and you still care about those empty names? Or do you still have illusions about the emperor and the prime minister?"
"Neither. Yan Suizhi didn't commit treason. I don't want to use threats. I want them to truly clear his name."
A faint smile appeared on Li Fengmian's lips. "Xie Wanyun, although I don't agree with your approach, this is your style of doing things."
She called out Xiaoju outside the door.
Xiaoju responded from a distance and ran over, "What do you want, Madam?"
"Go and bring Youli here."
Xiaoju agreed with red eyes, and soon came with Youli.
The little girl was about ten years old, and her facial features were very similar to Li Fengmian. As soon as she entered the room, she rushed to her mother's bedside and cried, "Mom, are you feeling better? Daddy won't let me see you, but I miss you so much."
Li Fengmian's eyes were filled with tenderness when she saw her daughter. Stroking her daughter's dark hair, she said, "Mother is much better now. Youli, please stop crying. Come and meet this Madam Xie. She's your good friend. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can go to Madam Xie. You should acknowledge Madam Xie as your godmother now, and treat her as your mother from now on. Do you understand?"
Youli opened her eyes wide, unable to understand, and cried loudly, "Why, mother, don't you want me anymore?"
Li Fengmian had said so much today that her spirits had long since worn out. Seeing her daughter disobeying, she became angry and anxious. She said with a stern face, "You don't listen to your mother anymore? Come here quickly!"
Seeing her mother getting angry, Youli cried and said, "Mom, please don't be angry. I will be obedient. Please don't cry."
Li Fengmian wiped her tears, pushed her daughter away, pointed at Xie Wanyun and said, "Youli, go meet your godmother."
