Chen Xianghui nodded, "Yes, I went to the beach that day and saw him unconscious with his head covered in blood. I thought he was dead. I saw a jade pendant on him that seemed to be very valuable, so I thought I would sell it to buy food. Then he woke up."
After Chen Xianghui finished speaking, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Yun Zhourong. "I found that he was in a daze. My brother had just run away, so I took him home."
Yun Zhourong opened the small cloth bag, inside which was a jade pendant of superior quality, something that ordinary people could not afford.
“Father, you are knowledgeable and experienced, please take a look.” Yun Zhourong handed the jade pendant to Yun Hongcheng. “Perhaps this is proof of his identity.”
The main thing is that the older brother with the mental disability has an appearance and demeanor that really don't seem like an ordinary person.
Those found on the beach are most likely survivors of a shipwreck.
"Let me see."
Yun Hongcheng took it and examined it carefully. Then his expression changed, and he stood up abruptly, knocking over the bowls on the table.
"Father, what's wrong?"
"Husband, is there a problem?"
Upon seeing this, everyone looked at him in astonishment.
Only Yun Hongcheng's hand holding the jade pendant trembled slightly. After a long while, he said, "This...this is carved with dragon patterns that only royalty can use, and the words on it are...Zhao Heng!"
"Clang..."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun dropped her chopsticks to the ground.
Madam Zhao's expression also changed slightly, and she swallowed hard, saying, "The current Crown Prince seems to be named Zhao Xuanheng!"
"That's right. I've heard that the eldest prince prefers a life of leisure and has no interest in the throne. He spends most of his time traveling around."
Yun Hongcheng finally calmed down a bit, and after sitting down again, he stared at his foolish brother and said, "I have to say, looking at him closely, he really does resemble the current emperor somewhat."
"My brother, is he really a prince?" Chen Xianghui also came to his senses at this moment, his face also filled with disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the person I randomly picked up turned out to be a prince!
"Little Stone, you've done a great job this time."
Yun Hongcheng said, "It seems that our Yun family can no longer afford to employ you as a page."
To everyone's surprise, Chen Xianghui turned pale instantly upon hearing this, and said in a panic, "Master, are you abandoning me? What did I do wrong?"
“Little Stone, don’t be nervous. It’s not that we don’t want you, but if your brother really is the First Prince, then as the First Prince’s savior, your status will be very different. We can’t let you continue to be a servant.”
Yun Zhourong knew he had misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "However, we won't kick you out. You can stay here as a distant relative of ours, and we will still arrange for you to study at the academy."
"That's good, as long as they don't leave." Chen Xianghui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's eat first. I'll take him to the prefectural government office later and have the prefect help identify him," Yun Hongcheng decided.
The meal was a mixed bag of emotions for everyone.
Looking at Yun Zhourong, he was filled with emotion, feeling that she was truly the family's lucky star. She had casually rescued a fool, only to find that he was actually a prince of noble status!
After the meal, the group hurriedly went to the government office.
Because the mentally challenged older brother didn't want to be separated from Chen Xianghui, the two brothers simply went with him.
"Your Highness!"
When Zhou Renjun hurriedly stepped forward to bow to his mentally challenged brother, his identity was basically confirmed.
"I never expected it to be like this, young man, thank you very much."
After listening to their descriptions, Zhou Renjun said with great emotion, "I never expected that the Crown Prince would encounter such a thing. Fortunately, he was blessed by the heavens and met you."
Then, looking at Yun Zhourong, and remembering that it was she who had rescued Zhao Xuanheng from the thugs, he felt a sense of wonder at the strangeness of fate.
If Yun Zhou Rongzhen is indeed the eldest princess, then they are siblings!
It is said that the late Empress and the eldest prince's birth mother, Consort Xian, had an extremely close relationship back then. Perhaps it was truly the blessing of the late Empress's spirit in heaven.
It has to be said that now that the two of them are standing together, he feels more and more that Yun Zhourong and the First Prince really do look somewhat alike, both resembling the current emperor.
"What should we do now? Should we send the eldest prince back?" Yun Zhourong asked with concern, unaware of Zhou Renjun's thoughts.
"No."
As a result, Zhou Renjun and Yun Hongcheng both shook their heads.
“The eldest prince is of noble status. If he is sent back under such circumstances, it will likely become a stain on his reputation for life.”
Zhou Renjun explained, "Therefore, the best approach is to cure the person first; otherwise, we cannot easily reveal this information."
“That’s right.” Yun Hongcheng nodded in agreement.
"How about this, the eldest prince can stay at my residence for now. I'll have Doctor Feng take a look at him, and if that doesn't work, we'll think of another solution," Zhou Renjun said.
"good."
Yun Zhourong nodded, then suddenly remembered what Ji Minxiu had told her yesterday, and said, "I miss An'an, let's go see her together."
“Okay, An’an has been doing much better since she got that cat. Even Dr. Feng said she’s improved. I was just about to tell you about it.”
Upon hearing about his daughter, the prefect immediately became happy and led everyone to his home.
Doctor Feng arrived quickly and examined Zhao Xuanheng. He then frowned and said, "This situation is very likely due to a blood clot in the brain, which is causing pressure. Perhaps it will be fine once the blood clot dissipates."
"How long will it take? Will it recover?" Zhou Renjun asked.
"Recovery is not a problem. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take first, but the exact time is uncertain," Zhou Renjun said.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Feng." Zhou Renjun knew that a brain injury was difficult to treat and couldn't be rushed.
After Mr. Feng left, Yun Zhourong went to find Zhou Yueshan.
As a result, Zhao Xuancheng grabbed her sleeve and wouldn't let go.
He wouldn't accept being with Chen Xianghui; he insisted on having both of them by his side.
“My sister helped us drive away the bad guys before, so my brother probably feels safer with you,” Chen Xianghui explained.
"Father, may I bring the eldest prince to An'an's room?" Yun Zhourong asked somewhat awkwardly.
"It's alright, they're both just like kids, it's nothing serious," Zhou Renjun said tactfully.
What it really means is that the two silly kids really don't need to care about the separation between men and women.
"Alright." Having no other choice, Yun Zhourong could only take the two of them with her.
When they arrived at Zhou Yueshan's place, they found her squatting on the ground, teasing a kitten with foxtail grass.
A rare smile appeared on her face.
"An'an, look who's here?" Upon seeing Yun Zhourong, the prefect's wife immediately said to her.
Upon seeing Yun Zhourong, Zhou Yueshan immediately stood up and ran forward to take Yun Zhourong's hand, only to find that there was no room for her.
Yun Zhourong's hands were being held by Zhao Xuanheng on one side and by Chen Xianghui on the other.
Zhou Yueshan raised her head, looked around in confusion, and then stared at Zhao Xuanheng, unable to look away.
Zhao Xuanheng was also staring at her.
After that, the two of them just stared at each other, not moving an inch.
"This is?"
Seeing this, the prefect's wife looked at Yun Zhourong with a puzzled expression.
