Chapter 76 She is not my daughter
Seeing that she was scared, Lan Shu quickly withdrew her hand, "I want to see..."
The top of your head.
"What...what do you want to see?"
Luo Congyun was a little uneasy and interrupted Lan Shu.
She heard that the royal family attached great importance to bloodline and would not allow others to confuse it, so various witnesses and evidence were needed to prove her identity.
She was certain that she was the emperor's daughter and had known it for a long time.
However, the tokens proving her identity were replaced by someone when she was at the Wu Mansion. When she was about to leave Beijing, she discovered that they were no longer available to be found.
When she was brought into the palace, she was worried about losing the evidence. When she entered the hall, she lowered her head and did not notice that Liu He was there.
Seeing Lan Shu coming forward, she subconsciously thought that Lan Shu was the person who had received the emperor's order to verify her identity.
She now has no evidence to prove that she is the emperor's daughter.
Then, blinking her eyes, she cried, "Don't come over here, I'm scared."
What she said was very pitiful.
Lan Shu's tears fell instantly, and she stood still, not daring to get any closer.
Seeing that she no longer insisted on seeing anything, Luo Congyun felt relieved and no longer thought about why Lan Shu was crying.
She said to the emperor in a delicate and aggrieved voice, "Father, I knew from a very young age that I was not the daughter of the Luo family. After I knew my true identity, I thought of you all the time and even dreamed of returning to your side."
The emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem. Luo Congyun knew what she was thinking with a glance and felt a little disappointed.
Seeing Lan Shu's face filled with excitement, he spoke again, "How do you prove that you are my child?"
"My aunt told my daughter. She didn't know the truth at first. But my aunt was so nice to her, almost flattering, that she became suspicious and forced her to tell the truth."
Luo Congyun has always been very proud of this matter.
She was only ten years old at that time, but she noticed something from Liu He's attitude towards her, and thus forced him to tell her about her life experience. She then asked Liu He and the Luo family for more. She prided herself on being very smart.
I told the emperor this in order to win his favor.
"If I were not your daughter, my aunt would not curry favor with me," she said firmly.
The emperor glanced at Liu He, who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was awake or unconscious, and thought about it. Although Luo Congyun's words sounded stupid, they did make some sense.
If Liu He had not determined that Luo Congyun was his princess, why would she bother to please her? However, he looked at Luo Congyun again and still did not find any trace of Lan Shu or him in her.
He then asked, "Then do you know why Liu He didn't tell me your identity earlier?"
Suspicion is ingrained in every emperor's bones.
Luo Congyun was just outside the palace and had vaguely heard some of it, "My aunt always said that the time was not right. Maybe she was worried that the people who hurt me then would hurt me again.
Now I know that she was one of the people who harmed me. Father, you have to take charge of your daughter. She has suffered so much these years.
In Linzhou, people bullied my daughter. Even in the capital, people still bullied her. If my aunt had sent my daughter back to you earlier, she wouldn't have suffered so much."
"Who bullied you?" Lan Shu asked.
Luo Congyun then looked at her carefully again. Although she had an outstanding appearance, she had no hair ornaments on her head and was not dressed as luxuriously as her adoptive mother. She must be a maid in the palace.
He ignored her and continued to look at the emperor, "Father, my daughter and Luo Chengzhou, the son of my adoptive mother's family, are in love and were originally going to get married.
But the deputy general of the National Protection Army in the capital forced Luo Chengzhou to marry her daughter and separated us.
After the woman married into the Lin family, she beat and scolded her daughter. After her daughter came to Beijing, she instigated Prince Rong to bully her daughter and kill Luo Chengzhou.
Your Majesty, Luo Chengzhou is the father of my children and your son-in-law. It's a pity that your twin grandchildren have lost their father at such a young age. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for the three of us."
Prince Rong?
Lan Shu frowned slightly.
The news about Nanny Song was told to her by the young lady, but when she arrived at the Wu Mansion, it was Prince Rong's people waiting there. It was obvious that the young lady and Prince Rong were involved in the affairs of the Wu Mansion together.
She didn't understand Prince Rong, but she understood the girl.
Her girl is not the kind of person who bullies others easily. If she bullies someone, it must be because there is something wrong with that person.
However, the person in front of her was most likely her daughter. "You said you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl?"
Whenever a woman from the Lan family becomes pregnant with twins, it will definitely be a boy and a girl.
She and her brother are twins, a boy and a girl. She also gave birth to twins, and her daughter is also very likely to give birth to twins.
Luo Congyun didn't know why she asked this, but nodded anyway.
Luo's parents like the twins very much, and I believe my father likes them too.
"How many whorls do the two children have on their heads?" Lan Shu asked again.
Spin?
Luo Congyun finally realized that something was wrong.
She wondered if this was another test from the royal family, or perhaps some characteristic of royal blood. She hesitated and said, "One, maybe two. Usually, a wet nurse would help with her grooming. I... I don't quite remember."
"You are a mother, how can you not know the situation of your child?" Lan Shu was suspicious.
Luo Congyun covered her face and cried, "Don't blame me, it's all Yan Lan's fault. Ever since she married into the Luo family, she not only bullied me, but also stole my two children. It's hard for me to even see her on a daily basis."
The two children were registered under Yan Lan's name, so she couldn't be considered deceiving the emperor by making such an excuse, she thought.
But then he heard Shi Yu say, "Your Majesty is wise, and you can easily check the truth of what you said. How could Yan Lan, who was chained by you, bully you?
How could I have robbed your children? I never killed your brother. I just think your identity is suspicious."
Luo Congyun felt guilty and couldn't hold back his expression.
Lan Shu stopped looking at her and asked Nanny Song, who was kneeling on the ground, "Have you seen my twin children? How many whorls do they have on their heads?"
Nanny Song said without much thought, "Two. I remember clearly. The two children had thick, jet-black hair, like those of ordinary children who had been raised for a few months. The two whorls were particularly obvious."
She really couldn't bear to let it go at that time, so she looked at it carefully.
Lan Shu walked to Luo Congyun again and quickly took out the pearl fork in her hair. Luo Congyun's hair was scattered and Lan Shu looked at the top of her head.
His voice was weak, and his chest felt cold. "She's not my child."
She suddenly looked at Liu He, grabbed her hair and lifted her up, "Tell me, where is my child?"
There was hope, but it was shattered again, which was more maddening than having no hope at all in the first place. Lan Shu's expression gradually became excited, and her eyes began to turn red again.
Luo Congyun was frightened by her. In her panic, she put together what Lan Shu said, and her mind became clear. The woman in front of her was her biological mother.
But her biological mother denied her identity. She said anxiously, "I have the tiger-head shoes you made for me, and a small bellyband embroidered with a tiger head. You didn't embroider it well, but I, your daughter, treasure it very much."
Lan Shu was not moved by this. Even her child could be exchanged, let alone the things she embroidered.
Liu He was originally drowsy, but she woke up immediately after being pulled by her. She was also shocked, "Impossible, she is the little princess.
After the incident in the capital was resolved, I personally went to the Luo family. This is the child. You can't conclude that he is not your child just because of the swirl on his head."
The emperor was somewhat happy that Luo Congyun was not a royal princess. Not to mention her shameful behavior, the fact that she had been having an affair with a man before getting married and had a pair of children was enough to bring shame to the royal family.
But when he saw Lan Shu's expression, he felt a little reluctant.
"The Lan family has twin dragon and phoenix twins. Their heads must have two spirals, and the directions of the two spirals must be opposite, just like the eight trigrams that echo each other. She doesn't have that. She is not my daughter."
Lan Shu suddenly felt as if all her strength was drained away.
Wei Qingyan hurriedly supported her.
The emperor also knew that Lan Shu had two swirls on her head and had a twin brother, but Liu He really didn't need to create a fake child to deceive him.
She raised the princess just to get benefits. She knew it was a fake but still kept her. She was courting death.
He hurriedly asked Liu He, "Before you left the palace, was there anyone else who handled the two children? Or did anything else happen on the way to the Luo family?"
Liu He was so anxious that her eyes didn't hurt anymore. She bit her lip and tried to recall the scene of that year. After a long while, she exclaimed, "Concubine Li, Concubine Li approached me at that time."
Yu Zhengde, who had been kneeling in the corner with his upper body naked and carrying a thorny stick on his back to apologize since Prince Rong and his men arrived, had been silent. Upon hearing this, he subconsciously shuddered.
