Yang Shuxuan confessed to murdering the emperor and the heir to the throne and took all the blame on himself. After the incident, Tai Shi Yang took the blame and claimed that it was his son's audacity and he was unaware of it. Regret appeared on Tai Shi's usually arrogant face, which was stunned for a while.
The Grand Tutor tried to shirk responsibility in every way, but the court officials did not separate Yang Shuxuan from the Grand Tutor. It was almost the same as the situation when the Yuan family was in trouble. Although Grand Tutor Yang had great power in the court, he also had many political enemies. Almost all the memorials submitted during this period were impeaching the Yang family.
Although the Queen Mother cares about the balance between the three ministers, she will never tolerate it if it involves the safety of the Emperor and the heir to the throne. The Mu family is the maternal family of the Concubine Chen, who is the Emperor's new favorite and the biological father of the heir to the throne. Tutor Mu has done his best, and Taibao Qiao usually tries to smooth things over in situations like this. However, Taishi Yang is in a rare situation where he is unable to recover, so he has to ask Taibao Qiao for help, and the Qiao family can't help but take action.
It was not to help the Yang family overcome the difficulties, but to join forces with the Mu family to expel the Yang family from the court.
Ye An did not want to protect the Grand Tutor. Since the memorial had been submitted, he still ordered the Supreme Court to investigate it in detail. He still remembered the lessons of Empress Gongsu and the Cui family, and he would never allow the Grand Tutor's crimes to be fabricated. In addition, Ye An was also somewhat confused about the purpose of the Yang family and the King of Huainan joining forces.
Ye Zhi planned all this for revenge. If he, the emperor, was killed, Ye Zhi would naturally sit on the throne. The Yang family had already sent their son into the palace, so why would they abandon him and support Ye Zhi?
This didn't seem to make sense, and the parties involved remained silent. When the secret guards found out Yang Shuxuan's background, Ye An discovered that Yang Shuxuan's biological mother also had the surname Cui, and she died of illness in the year the Cui family was exterminated. It seems that at that time, the Yang family was just an ordinary noble. In order to please the late emperor and climb up the social ladder, they were most likely smart enough to get rid of Mrs. Cui in the family. After all, women can remarry, but once the opportunity is lost, it will never come back.
This also explains why Yang Shuxuan would join forces with Ye Zhi. Ye Zhi is very likely to have made a promise to Yang Shuxuan, but Yang Shuxuan's purpose should not be as simple as revenge. He wants the emperor to conceive a dragon heir with Yang family blood. After Ye An "lost his memory", Yang Shuxuan has been out of favor. If Ye Zhi can ascend the throne, it will be beneficial to Yang Shuxuan who once helped him. If Ye Zhi cannot ascend the throne, he can also seize the throne through the dragon heir.
Considering the power that Grand Tutor Yang held in the court, there was no need for him to take the risk of supporting the King of Huainan. Ye An guessed that it was really just Yang Shuxuan's personal act. The Yang family arranged for someone else to enter the palace because they were dissatisfied with Yang Shuxuan, which further stimulated Yang Shuxuan. The Grand Tutor was obviously deceived by Concubine Yang.
Ye An analyzed it with great interest, and Mu Ci smiled and said, "Most of it should be correct, but the King of Huainan has passed away due to illness, so it is impossible for him to ascend to the throne."
Ye An was stunned. It seemed to be true. If Ye Zhi really killed him and the Queen Mother, the royal family would never support Ye Zhi. The Yang family is powerful and can choose the royal puppet they like to sit in a higher position. If he is really pregnant with Yang Shuxuan's child, they might let him give birth to the child and then "die suddenly", so that the crown prince will naturally succeed to the throne.
"So, he wants to be the Queen Mother?"
Mu Ci: “…”
What Queen Mother? Mu Ci couldn't help but tapped Ye An's forehead gently: "Don't talk nonsense."
According to palace rules, Yang Shuxuan was stripped of her rank and sent to the cold palace. Grand Tutor Yang was stripped of all his positions and was forced to stay at home, guarded by palace guards, awaiting the announcement of the results of the court's investigation.
After such a big mess, Defei’s death didn’t attract much attention.
Wen Ziran's illness came on quickly and he stopped breathing in just three days. Therefore, some people suspected Yang Shuxuan. After all, he dared to harm the dragon heir and the emperor, so he might harm Defei again. At the critical moment, Ye An brought out the imperial physician to stop this random speculation. Defei died of an acute illness, and the empress dowager also agreed to bury her as soon as possible. Wen Ziran then left the palace smoothly as planned.
In the dead of night, a horse carrying a masked boy rushed out of the darkness. Under the moonlight, a figure stood there for who knows how long. Hearing the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer, he couldn't help but look around anxiously. The young man galloped on his horse and called out "Azhu" happily. Soon the two figures came together, riding on one horse and galloping towards the distance without looking back.
That night, the emperor personally stayed in Ruixuexuan, chanting sutras and praying for the deceased Concubine De.
Halfway through the process, An Er showed up and handed over a secret letter. Ye An only took a look at the cover, which was blue, symbolizing that everything would go well, and ordered An Er to burn the secret letter in front of him.
Ranmei has left with her lover, and this is the last hurdle for him. The more painful he appears, the less likely others will question Wen Ziran's death. The coffin of Concubine De has been buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the emperor personally recited sutras to bid farewell. Could it be fake?
The empress dowager was worried because the emperor was pregnant with an heir. She came to persuade him several times, but seeing that Ye An was still heartbroken, she had no choice but to order the concubine Chen to bring a group of imperial doctors to Ruixuexuan to accompany him.
The empress dowager herself is an extremely contradictory character. Due to her status, she habitually dislikes concubines who have taken the emperor's favor. In the past it was Su Qinghuai, and now it is Mu Ci. But at critical moments, she will still take the initiative to choose people who can make the emperor feel better to accompany him.
Mu Ci has been almost overwhelmed by government affairs in recent days, and Ye An's health is getting worse day by day. The Queen Mother has tacitly handed over both government and palace affairs to him, saying that he can practice first. It will not be disclosed to the public for the time being. There is no way the Yang family will be able to regain its former power. Ye An wants to simply take back the position of Grand Tutor and no longer have a Grand Tutor. The Grand Guardian in the court will be in charge of the military, and the Grand Preceptor will be in charge of politics. When comparing the power of the two families in the harem, it is obvious who will take the throne.
After receiving the empress dowager's decree, Mu Ci ordered Wang Xingren to send the remaining government affairs to Changle Palace and ask the empress dowager to take care of it so as not to delay state affairs. He then went to Ruixuexuan with a food box. Ye An accepted many promises in front of him, but one must be a vegetarian when praying. He was a little worried about Ye An's health. A short day is nothing for an ordinary person, but a pregnant woman might starve.
Outside the Ruixuexuan Palace, the eunuch Xiao Fang, who had been waiting for him, tactfully bowed and led him inside. This eunuch was taken in as Wen Ziran's confidant after he entered the palace, and he could not be taken with him when leaving the palace. After Ye An consulted Xiao Fang's opinion, he left him to guard Ruixuexuan, which made him feel relaxed and comfortable.
A small Buddhist temple was temporarily built in the main courtyard. Mu Ci went straight to the temple, but found no one. Incense was burning in front of the Buddha, and a plate of vegetarian snacks was offered, as well as a handwritten Buddhist scripture. Although the handwriting was not beautiful, it was very neat, which showed that the person who copied the scripture had full sincerity.
Mu Ci went to the bedroom again. As soon as he entered the door, he stepped on a dragon boot. After a few steps, he stepped on another one. Mu Ci frowned slightly. He had warned Ye An countless times not to walk barefoot, but Ye An himself didn't care much.
Mu Ci was planning to give Ye An a good talk, but when he saw Ye An curled up on the couch, the little dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Brother Aci, don't quarrel.
Mu Ci couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought of this sentence.
Ye An's belly was getting bigger and bigger as it inflated, making it very inconvenient for him to sleep. In the past, his hands and feet were often entangled with his body, and he would sleep in all kinds of positions. Now, he seldom moved after lying down, for fear of disturbing the baby in his belly, so he could only lie on his side. However, one position was usually uncomfortable, and turning over made a lot of noise. The two of them shared a bed every day, and Ye An seldom turned over for fear of disturbing Mu Ci. He would only move bit by bit with difficulty when he really couldn't sleep. He was caught by Mu Ci twice before he woke him up obediently and asked him for help.
Mu Ci couldn't help but smile and walked over to sit next to Ye An. The boy's face has become much rounder, his thin waist has become thicker, and even his fingers have become fatter. Recently, he has been making fun of himself and saying that he has become as fat as a barrel, worrying that he will not be able to change back after the baby is born. But when he held his hand to touch his belly, called the baby in his belly "cub", and kept giving the baby nicknames, he was very excited, which was a typical case of saying one thing and thinking another.
Mu Ci helped Ye An tuck in the quilt and put his hands that were outside the quilt inside. At this time, he found that Ye An was holding a small golden bellyband and was reluctant to put it away even when he went to sleep. The stitches on this bellyband, which could only be worn by children, were large and bold, and the tailoring looked as if it had been chewed by a dog. Mu Ci took the bellyband out of his hand and checked Ye An's ten fingers. Sure enough, he found a shallow needle hole on the index finger of his left hand. He then knew who made this ugly bellyband.
Mu Ci took out the medicine he had brought with him and applied it to Ye An's wound. He then folded the bellyband and placed it under Ye An's pillow, where a moon-white ribbon embroidered with a lotus pattern was hidden. Although the overall pattern was not very delicate, the stitching was much finer than the golden one. Mu Ci pondered for a moment, put both legs together, raised his head and saw that one of Ye An's legs was also stretched out of the quilt.
Mu Ci helped him lift his legs in and was shocked to find that the boy's white feet, calves and insteps were swollen a lot. He was surprised and knew why Ye An didn't like wearing shoes recently. Even if his clothes and shoes were made wider, his swollen legs and feet would still be uncomfortable. Mu Ci decided not to care about Ye An's bare feet, and gently rubbed the boy's legs while he was sleeping.
Ye An had been feeling uncomfortable in his legs recently, but he felt much more relaxed after waking up. The candle in the room was on, and a figure was sitting at a desk with his back to him, writing quickly. He was very familiar with this figure, and was not frightened at all. Instead, he stretched his neck to look at the desk. It turned out that Mu Ci was copying scriptures for him.
Ye An smiled awkwardly and stuck out his tongue. He had little patience and fell asleep after copying it only once. After waking up, his mind was still a little fuzzy. He sat quietly for a while and thought about the bellyband he had fiddled with before going to bed.
Before leaving, Ranmei left a gift, a moon-white bellyband she made for her child. Ye An liked it very much and thought that since they were both men, if Ranmei could do it, he could do it too. Mu Ci was busy with government affairs and Qi Fu had little time, so Ye An followed Ranmei's craftsmanship and figured out how to make another one on his own to pass the time, just as if he was doing handicraft. But how come he couldn't find it?
Ye Anton searched everywhere but couldn't find the bellyband he made. Mu Ci seemed to have eyes behind him and suddenly said, "Under the pillow."
Ye An didn't know what his abrupt words meant. He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. He took out two neatly folded bellybands from under the pillow. Ye An blushed a little. Compared with Wen Ziran's thoughtful version, Ye Xiaoan's rough version was inferior.
Mu Ci said without even turning his head: "Both are good, the gold one is better."
Ye An was ashamed. Brother Aci, have you degenerated from a fair male god to a shameless husband who lies without blushing? Lying in front of the baby is not good prenatal education!
As if they had telepathic connection, the naughty baby in the belly, which had refused to move formally no matter how Ye An begged, actually pushed out with all his strength this time, causing Ye An's belly to be visibly deformed.
Ye An: “…”
"Brother Aci, come quickly!"
Ye An was so happy that he shouted repeatedly, but his body was stiff and he didn't dare to move, for fear that if he moved, the cub would stop moving again.
Mu Ci put his palm over without much hope. Many times before, there was no movement for him. But this time, as soon as he put his palm on, he could clearly feel something hitting Ye An's belly through it.
It really moved.
Mu Ci couldn't believe it for a moment.
Ye Anton looked around excitedly. Today was the first day of the month. Ye Xi was officially moved during the blessing. It was related to the bellyband. I heard that it would be easier to raise a baby with a nickname. In order to commemorate this special day, Ye Xi's baby's nickname would be called -
"Chuyi, Ahfu, or Doudou?"
This earthy nickname left the other dad completely speechless.

Guess Ye Xi's nickname～～
