The truth of the matter had come to light. Yan Shu remembered her promise to the Queen Mother and the next day, she immediately went to Ci'an Palace to share the whole story with the Queen Mother.

After listening to the script she read out herself, the Queen Mother was naturally furious.

"No wonder Mrs. Shao had to come to me for help. It turned out that the nephew of the Han family had evil intentions! Humph, what a heartless guy! This is the result of the old lady forcing her son to take the throne!"

Yan Shu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I think so too. Mrs. Xing wanted to force her own son to be like that. If she knew about it now, I wonder if she would regret it?" But the Queen Mother

sneered and said, "You can only regret it in the underworld. Fortunately, she died early, otherwise I don't know what she would have done to the General's Mansion?"

Yan Shu nodded vigorously again.

The Queen Mother was right. Fortunately, Mrs. Xing died seven or eight years ago. Otherwise, with that kind of behavior, I'm afraid Mrs. Shao and her son would not be alive today.

But now, the wicked nephew of the general Han Xing'an dared to lie about the emperor's will and slander the king.

I'm afraid he will not be able to escape death. After death, he can just reunite with his biased grandmother.

As expected, within a few days, the court sentenced Han Xing'an to death by beheading for slandering the emperor's name, falsely conveying the emperor's will, moral corruption, and unkindness and unfilial piety. The emperor personally approved the sentence, and no one dared to object. On the day the imperial edict came down, he was pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded.

Recalling the story of Master Xiaoyao, the ungrateful nephew ended up being beheaded. I didn't expect that reality would come true so quickly. For a while, the people shouted in joy and reached a high degree of consensus on the identity of Master Xiaoyao.

——Being able to know the important events of court officials so detailed and judge the results so accurately, who else could this Master Xiaoyao be except His Majesty's man?

So, don't think about it in the future and try to go against others like Wei Jingshi, the fake heir of Bamian Bookstore. After all

, going against others is going against His Majesty, and there is absolutely no chance of winning.

~~

Thanks to the superb medical skills of Doctor Jiang, more than half a month later, General Wuan finally recovered.

The first thing he did after his recovery was to bring his concubine, Madam Shao, into the palace to thank His

Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Yan Shu, who had learned the news in advance, was very excited and followed the emperor to Ci'an Palace, intending to see with her own eyes the majestic appearance of this devoted and tough man.

Fortunately, the emperor and the empress dowager doted on her and let her go.

Of course, the hero and heroine of her story are now in their forties and fifties, and General Wu'an has long lost the youthful vigor of his youth, especially after he had just been ill, and his body is a little weak.

However, he is a veteran of the battlefield after all, and he still has a heroic spirit. Standing with the slightly thin Madam Shao, they can still be said to be a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they are very well matched.

As soon as they entered the hall, they knelt down and saluted. General Wu'an said, "Your Majesty, I am Han Gaochu and my concubine here to pay homage to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Yi. I would like to thank Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager for their grace in saving my life. I am afraid I have nothing to repay you for, and I feel very ashamed."

Yuwen Lan said, "The general has just recovered from a serious illness. There is no need to be polite. You have been brave in serving the country for the first half of your life. The court will not treat you unfairly. Stand up."

General Wu'an agreed and then stood up with the help of Madam Shao.

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them and said, "Speaking of which, the general should thank Madam Shao very much this time. If she hadn't come to me, I and Your Majesty would not have known the situation in your house."

After the voice fell, Yan Shu nodded in her heart. The Queen Mother was indeed her number one, and she said exactly what she wanted to say!

——Speaking of which, when Madam Shao was able to enter the palace to ask for the Queen Mother's decree, she also encountered a lot of obstruction from her nephew in the mansion. Fortunately, the servants were loyal and sent her to the palace gate.

Although it has been difficult now, General Wu'an has finally recovered. In the future, the two will be more supportive of each other and spend the rest of their lives together.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears——

[Wow, he gave up all his money just for one person, and now she is trying her best to save him. What a touching love! It makes people believe in love again! ]

Yuwen Lan, who heard it silently, said, "???"

Why did she think so?

Wasn't his feelings enough to make her believe in love?

Unexpectedly, just when he was frowning secretly, he saw General Wu'an suddenly kneeling down and said, "Your Majesty is right. I have thought about it again and again these days. Today, I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to allow me to resign and return home, so that she can have the status of a legal wife."

What, resign?

When these words came out, everyone present was stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but sigh.

——It is well known that Madam Shao was born in a poor family, and the current etiquette does not allow General Wuan to give her the status of his wife. However, if General Wuan resigns from his official position and becomes a commoner, there will be no obstacles.

But in this case, wouldn't it be a waste of his scars and decades of hard work?

In the midst of everyone's astonishment, before the emperor could speak, General Wuan said again, "She is the one I feel the most sorry for in my life. Now that I am old, I just want to give her an explanation. I can no longer be loyal to Your Majesty in the future, and I am extremely ashamed. At least I have my son to continue to be loyal to the country to make up for the regret in my heart."

After the words fell, everyone nodded in their hearts again -

yes, General Wuan has been fighting for his country all his life, and he is worthy of the king, the world, and the family. After all, the glory and wealth of the entire Han family was earned by him alone, and he even gave in and recognized his nephew as his heir.

The only ones who seem to be indebted are Mrs. Shao and her children.

If they continue like this, their sons and daughters will still be born as concubines, and their daughters will probably still not be able to find a good family, and even after death, they will not be able to be buried together...

I guess after experiencing a life-and-death struggle, General Wuan finally made the decision he wanted to make.

After thinking about it, everyone more or less understood General Wuan's original intention.

However, Yan Shu was very anxious and couldn't help but say, "I can understand that the general is thinking about the lady, but the price of such a choice is too high. Is there no other way?"

As she said that, she secretly glanced at the emperor and said anxiously, "Hey, can't the emperor see such a touching love? Why can't you grant them a marriage! After all, Madam Shao is also brave enough to save her husband this time, and she deserves praise! Don't be so cold-blooded, okay! ! ! 】

Yuwen Lan, "..."

The incident happened suddenly, and he really didn't expect that General Wu'an would have such a request today. How could he be so cold-blooded?

He thought about it for a moment, and just when he was about to open his mouth, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"The general's consideration for his concubine is touching, but if His Majesty approves your resignation, won't the outside world think that the court dislikes you because of your old age and treats you badly? In my opinion, there are probably other ways to deal with this matter. Why bother to resign in a hurry?" After

these words came out, Yan Shu immediately looked at the Queen Mother and nodded, "Your Majesty is right. Everyone knows that General Wu'an has risked his life for the country many times in the past and has made countless contributions. Now he has sent his own son to the battlefield. Such a broad mind should be treated well by the court. "I should wait. In my opinion, Madam Shao's efforts to save her husband are worthy of praise."

As soon as the voice fell, the Queen Mother secretly said to herself that she was smart, and then she said to General Wu'an, "Concubine Yi is right. Your nephew falsely conveyed the emperor's will. If Madam Shao had not come to ask me in person, if your nephew succeeded this time, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Your Majesty? Madam Shao's action makes me very happy. Today, you two will be officially married." As soon as

the voice fell, everyone was stunned.

Only Yan Shu reacted first, and hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother is wise!"

She was so excited that she almost cried, [嘤嘤嘤After all, the number one on the list is reliable! Queen Mother, I love you!!! 】

Yuwen Lan, "..." Wait

...

He could have said it...

but he just didn't have the time...

However, at this moment, everyone in the palace followed Yan Shu and said, "The Queen Mother is wise!"

They all looked excited.

General Wu'an and Madam Shao finally reacted. They were surprised and knelt down again with red eyes. They kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother!" The

Queen Mother also smiled and nodded, and said to General Wu'an, "General, there is no need to be polite, and there is no need to think about resigning. You have experience on the battlefield, and the court may need you again in the future. Besides, even if you can't go to the battlefield, you can teach a few more apprentices for the court."

General Wu'an responded excitedly again, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, as long as the court still needs me, I will do my best, even if it means risking my old bones, and I will never refuse." As soon as

the words fell, everyone wanted to applaud.

Queen Mother is wise! Queen Mother is wise!!!

Yuwen Lan, "..."

The Queen Mother is indeed very wise.

Of course, the most important thing is -

it's fast.

~~

The Queen Mother's marriage decree was returned to the General's Mansion with General Wu'an and Madam Shao on the same day.

It is a great joy to be able to be personally granted a marriage by the Queen Mother.

However, General Wu'an and Madam Shao are now over 50 years old, and the mansion has just experienced a lot of turmoil. The two did not want to hold a big ceremony, so they found an auspicious day, held a simple ceremony in the mansion, and submitted the marriage certificate to the government.

It seems simple and peaceful, but it made the two wait for most of their lives.

From then on, the concubine became the beloved wife, the status of the children from illegitimate children became legitimate children, and the couple could finally realize their wish of sleeping in the same bed and dying in the same grave.

Because of the advance preparation of the Xiaoyao Gongzi storybook, many people actually sympathized with Mrs. Shao's background. Seeing that the hero and heroine of the story finally got a happy ending in reality, they were very relieved.

Although there were still some discussions behind their backs, after experiencing a life-and-death separation, for the Wuan general and his wife, this was nothing.

They could spend the rest of their lives together with a clear conscience.

~~

Having witnessed the happy ending of this story with her own eyes, Yan Shu, as an important contributor behind the scenes, was also very relieved.

Lying on the couch at night, she touched her belly while giving prenatal education to the baby inside -

"As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way. So, baby, always remember to have hope. Although there are still many rules and regulations in this world, as long as you work hard in the right direction, you will definitely achieve your wishes." As

soon as the voice fell, Yu Wenlan, who had just finished washing up, also got on the couch and hugged her in his arms, commenting, "'Where there is a will, there is a way' is good, but in this matter, it is mainly your credit. If you hadn't discovered the truth in time, the two of them might not have ended up with the happy ending they have now."

As he said that, he glanced at her bulging belly, and he didn't know how much he yearned for it in his heart.

He also wanted to touch it...

Or, just do it?

Anyway, if you don't want to make a mess, then okay.

But just as she was struggling to make a decision, Yan Shu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, I was referring to myself! At that time, I just thought that I could do something meaningful by writing storybooks. Now I have saved one unfortunate family after another and cleared up one slanderous truth after another. Hasn't my wish come true?"

Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows, "...That's true. But are you sure you didn't write the storybooks for money?"

Yan Shu choked, "...Money is one thing, but I am also a person with big aspirations!"

Then she suddenly looked at him and pouted, "Come to think of it, why did I want to write storybooks to make money? It was because I was too poor."

[Huh, since you mentioned money, I won't be polite. 】

She raised her eyebrows and said, "I have done a lot for Your Majesty recently. Has Your Majesty ever thought of rewarding me?"

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Such an ability to climb up the ladder is really rare in the world.

He then smiled and said, "Then how can I reward you? Are you still short of money now?"

Suddenly, an idea came to him. He pretended to be careless and put his hand on her belly. While stroking it gently, he said in his heart, "Silly girl, I gave you my whole heart, isn't it enough?"

As he said this, he looked at her secretly.

But she was really stunned, "Huh? Why did I hear it again? 】

【Is he saying that he gave me his heart? ? ? Yuwen

Lan nodded silently in his heart, wanting to tell her that he had heard her correctly, that was what he thought.

However, he was afraid of being exposed, so he quickly pretended to be careless and took his hand away.

He coughed quietly in his heart——

Silly girl, now you finally understand his feelings, right?

However, her mind was not on his confession just now.

Yan Shu was trying hard to think about a question at this time - why did she suddenly hear his thoughts again?

She began to ponder in her mind, [What happened just now? Is it because he was hugging me? ]

[That's not right! He is still hugging me now, how come I can't hear it again? ]

[Oh, right! He seemed to have touched my belly just now, could it be... this belly is

a signal receiver? ] Yuwen Lan shuddered.

Although she didn't know what this so-called "signal receiver" was, she was about to guess it.

Tsk, why did he suddenly become smart again?

To be on the safe side, he immediately said, "By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I will host a banquet for all the ministers and their families. Do you think the banquet should be held in the palace, or in Jinming Lake, or Jinbo Garden?"

Oh, there is a chance to leave the palace?

Yan Shu's attention was finally diverted temporarily. After thinking for a while, she said, "I think Jinbo Garden and Jinming Lake are both good, but it seems that the water surface of Jinbo Garden is wider? I think the atmosphere should be better when the emperor and his ministers watch the moon together."

- Hehe, in fact, watching the moon is secondary. The main thing is that the roast pork and roast lamb she ate in Jinbo Garden last time are still fresh in her memory, which makes her feel a little greedy. Now she still wants to eat it very much when she thinks about it!

Yuwen Lan listened silently, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, that's Jinbo Garden. I'll ask them to prepare more roasted food. I'm sure you'll like it."

Yan Shu, who was unaware that her thoughts had been diverted, brightened her eyes and nodded quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I really like the roasted lamb there. If there are many people for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, why not roast two more?"

Yuwen Lan nodded quickly, "Five is no problem." .

Then he asked, "What else do you want to eat? Think about it carefully these few days and ask them to prepare it early."

Yan Shu really thought about it, "In addition to roasted lamb, roasted fish is also good. Blue crabs are the fattest during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why not invite everyone to try blue crabs! By the way, blue crabs are not only good to be steamed, but also made into spicy fried crabs or crab pot... "

Yuwen Lan nodded repeatedly, "It's up to you."

...

Phew, that was a close call.
