Chapter 1165 What a Mistake!
When Chu Shengyan just gave birth to Xiao Hanhan, Luo Yechen prepared four wet nurses for Xiao Hanhan.
After little Hanhan grew up and no longer needed milk, Bu Shengyan dismissed three wet nurses one after another, leaving only this last one.
The reason why Bu Shengyan kept this wet nurse was not because she was so capable, but simply because her husband was a military household.
The Bu family is full of loyal and brave people. Bu Shengyan's uncles, aunts and brothers all died in the battlefield, and even her father was seriously injured and left with lifelong disabilities. Therefore, she has a natural affinity for the military general's family.
The wet nurse's husband was serving in the army and could not take care of the family. The wet nurse had to raise two children by herself and life was very difficult.
Bu Shengyan felt sympathy and wanted to keep the nurse in the palace to let her continue to take care of Xiao Hanhan. If she could do a good job, she could also let her bring her two children into the palace to accompany Xiao Hanhan to study.
However, judging from her current performance, this wet nurse made Bu Shengyan very disappointed.
Just now she was teaching Xiao Hanhan that he shouldn't hit others casually, but the nanny stood up and pleaded for Xiao Hanhan.
Children are ignorant, and the wet nurse's behavior can easily leave them with the impression that the wet nurse loves them more than their biological mother.
If this continues, it will not only make it more difficult for Bu Shengyan to discipline her son, but will also unknowingly alienate the mother and son.
This is something Bu Shengyan absolutely cannot tolerate.
She did not hide anything and told the whole story of how little Hanhan scratched his wet nurse.
Luo Yechen said indifferently.
"She's just a wet nurse. What's the big deal if she gets caught? Don't make such a fuss."
Bu Shengyan frowned and said, "I don't care what will happen to the nanny. I just think that Xiao Hanhan's character is very bad. He is too domineering."
If Xiao Hanhan was a daughter, it would be okay for her to be a little domineering, but he is a boy and happened to be born into a royal family. Such an identity destined him to be a low-key person.
This is also the main reason why Bu Shengyan must strictly require Xiao Hanhan.
She didn't expect her son to achieve much in the future; she just wanted him to grow up safely and healthily.
Bu Shengyan: "I want to send that nanny away. Little Hanhan can't have someone around who lets him do whatever he wants."
It's just a trivial matter.
When they got married, they made three rules: the princess would make the decisions on all small matters in the family.
Therefore, Luo Yechen nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Bu Shengyan's expression relaxed.
Although this man is always a little silly and looks like a fool, he has never held her back.
This alone was enough to satisfy her.
Luo Yechen pulled her into the inner room and sat down, then spoke mysteriously.
"You know, someone just told me a shocking secret!"
Bu Shengyan knew that he was deliberately keeping her in suspense, so she followed his lead and asked, "What secret?"
Luo Yechen lowered his voice very low: "Do you still remember Concubine Xiao?"
As soon as Bu Shengyan heard the three words "Concubine Xiao", she immediately had some guesses in her mind.
But she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she pricked up her ears and listened quietly.
Seeing her nod, Luo Yechen continued speaking.
"We all thought that Concubine Xiao was dead, but that's not the case. Concubine Xiao didn't die at all. She changed her identity and came back. You must not know what her current identity is?"
After saying that, he deliberately stopped talking and looked at Bu Shengyan with a smug expression as if saying "I will only tell you if you beg me to."
Bu Shengyan raised her red lips: "She is now the Imperial Concubine."
Luo Yechen: “…”
Luo Yechen jumped up suddenly and stared at her in disbelief.
“H-How did you know that?!”
Bu Shengyan: "Didn't you say before that you had something to tell me that was related to the Imperial Concubine? Putting the two together, isn't the answer obvious?"
Luo Yechen was shocked by his princess's high intelligence.
He sat back angrily.
He originally wanted to see the princess's shocked and unbelievable expression, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who was shocked in the end.
What a bad decision!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and continued.
"Those people said that Concubine Xiao might be the real murderer of my father. They hope that I can persuade the emperor not to enthrone her as the queen."
Bu Shengyan: "Do you believe what they say?"
Luo Yechen: "I don't really believe it, but they said it so seriously that they even brought up the deceased grandmother. I think what they said is very likely true."
Bu Shengyan: "So what do you want to do next?"
Luo Yechen came back to discuss with the princess because he didn't know what to do.
He looked at his extremely intelligent princess with a pleading look.
Bu Shengyan: "If Concubine Xiao really killed the late emperor, would you want to kill her to avenge the late emperor?"
This question stumped Luo Yechen.
His mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no word came out.
Seeing this, Bu Shengyan stopped making things difficult for him and spoke calmly.
"You hesitated, which means you don't want to kill Concubine Xiao."
Luo Yechen did not deny it.
Although he found Concubine Xiao very annoying, he didn't want to kill her.
Bu Shengyan: "Do you remember what happened before the late emperor died? At that time, we were framed. The late emperor suspected that we were using the art of evil to murder him, so he had us imprisoned in the Dali Temple."
Luo Yechen certainly still remembers that incident.
At that time, he watched helplessly as those people dug out the lucky charms from the palace. No matter how he explained, no one believed him.
He and the princess were arrested, and the entire palace was sealed off.
They were imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and no one could get any help from them, whether they cried out to heaven or to the earth.
Luo Yechen wanted to see his father and explain everything to him.
But the emperor refused to even see him.
Bu Shengyan: "To be honest, if the late emperor hadn't died, we would have been the last to die."
Luo Yechen was stunned.
He instinctively wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to start.
Although Bu Shengyan's words were unpleasant to hear, that was the fact. They were involved in a case of witchcraft at that time. Once the charges were proven, the entire British palace would be a river of blood.
Fortunately, Emperor Sheng Yong died suddenly.
As soon as he died, the prince returned and inherited the throne.
The new emperor thoroughly investigated the case of witchcraft, and the British king and queen were acquitted.
Luo Yechen stammered, "Then, isn't Concubine Xiao our benefactor?"
Bu Shengyan did not answer but asked: "What do you think?"
The grievances and hatreds in this matter were too complicated. Luo Yechen used his stubborn brain to think about it for a long time, but the more he thought about it, the more headache he got.
Bu Shengyan: "You don't have to be so entangled. Maybe what those people said was false. Maybe Concubine Xiao had nothing to do with the death of the late emperor."
Luo Yechen: "If there really was no relationship, she wouldn't have deliberately hidden her identity and returned to the emperor."
Bu Shengyan looked at him steadily.
"Since you already have doubts, why not go directly to the Emperor and ask for clarification."
Luo Yechen raised his head and looked at her in surprise: "Won't the emperor be angry?"
Bu Shengyan: "You are his elder brother, so what's wrong with asking him a few questions? Why should he be angry?"
Luo Yechen thought about it and stood up immediately.
"Okay, I'll go to the palace to see the emperor now."
