Yan Shiyue raised his eyebrows.
This place was very close to Bu Shipan's shop. People who heard the voice turned around and many recognized him: "It's Xu Huiyuan!"
"It's Princess Fuyan!"
Everyone immediately gathered around. The maid knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please, please save the princess!"
Yan Shiyue motioned A and the others to step aside, took two steps forward, and asked, "Who are you? What happened?"
The maid cried loudly, "Your Highness, I am Xiaosong who is by the side of the princess. Your Highness is blessed with great fortune. When the princess was seriously ill, she was able to recover because of your blessings. The princess has always felt deeply ashamed and has been fasting and chanting for so many years, just to atone for her sins. Even though she is now sent to the family temple, she has no complaints..."
"But Your Highness, the princess is old. She fell ill as soon as she entered the family temple. Now her condition is getting worse... The princess forbad us to tell anyone, but I, who have received great favor from the princess, cannot watch her get into trouble! Please save her life! Please lend her some blessings! Even if you lend her some blessings, it will not harm Your Highness. Please save the princess! Please save the princess!"
She kowtowed desperately.
Yan Shiyue understood as soon as she started talking.
She took the initiative to tell the story of that year. This was certainly not because of an attack of conscience, but because she wanted to let people know that this method would definitely work!
...
...
You know, in this society, "filial piety" is the bottom line! In front of so many people, the "loyal servant" begged for mercy, and the "elder" fell ill. If she refused or refused, she would be unforgivable in an instant!
Come on! When it comes to acting, I have never lost!
Yan Shiyue rushed forward and helped Xiaosong up. She said anxiously, "The princess is sick? Why didn't you tell me earlier! Take me there quickly!"
Xiao Song cried and begged, "Princess, don't tell us to tell you! Your Highness is so precious now, Princess doesn't dare to ask for your blessing..."
"What are you talking about?" Yan Shiyue said generously, "I am a junior. Don't even mention that the elders want this 'blessing' from me. Even if they want my life, I will offer it with both hands!"
She supported Xiaosong and said, "Let's go see grandma!"
Even Xiaosong was caught off guard.
It is not easy for the old princess to employ someone now. Even if someone cooperates secretly, it will take a lot of effort to send her out.
Yan Shiyue didn't go out often, and she didn't dare to get too close, until today, when she found such a good opportunity.
I didn't expect her to be so happy.
She was passively supported by her and walked. Everyone was very impressed by the princess's filial piety and followed her from a distance while talking about her.
Xu Wenqu took a few steps forward until then, and said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "Your Highness! Don't be anxious! Don't forget that the princess's entry into the ancestral temple was ordered by the Empress Dowager. If you want to invite her out, you should first ask the Empress Dowager for instructions!"
Yan Shiyue was startled, then said: "But..."
Xu Wenqu asked Xiaosong, "What is the princess' illness? Have you consulted a doctor? Has she taken any medicine?"
Xiao Song was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "There is a lack of doctors and medicine in the family temple. The princess is wheezing and coughing badly, where can she get any medicine to take?"
In fact, she should have said this at the beginning, in order to pretend to be pitiful and persuade Yan Shiyue to go, but now that Yan Shiyue is about to go, and Xu Wenqu said this again, her words became a bit useless.
Yan Shiyue said, "Xiaoyan, ask someone to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician to go to the ancestral temple to check on my grandmother's illness." At the same time, he said to Xiaosong, "Come with me to the palace to see the Empress Dowager. Don't be afraid, just explain it clearly. The Empress Dowager is kind and will not ignore it."
Xiaosong suddenly began to tremble and responded reluctantly.
In the palace, Emperor Mingyan heard the news and was immediately furious: "What a vicious woman, she is still haunting us! Asking my princess to bless her, how shameless she is!"
He scolded Yan Shiyue again: "This child, who usually looks quite smart, actually did such a stupid thing! Fortunately, Xu Qing was alert and rescued her! Otherwise, she would have really gotten away with it!"
He turned around and asked Gu Jiuxing: "Has anyone arrived?"
Gu Jiuxing laughed hastily and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked someone to stop us at the palace gate. We will welcome you here when you arrive."
So when Yan Shiyue arrived, he saw Emperor Ming Yan sitting there with a stern face, not waking up, as if he was angry.
Yan Shiyue sometimes thought that her father's temper was so adorable that she couldn't help but laugh: "Father!"
Emperor Ming Yan glared at her and said, "You still know that I am your father! When you agreed to lend your blessing to others, why didn't you remember that I am your father!"
Yan Shiyue almost died of laughter, and ran over to grab his dragon robe: "Don't be angry! I know the severity of the situation."
She smiled and pulled his sleeve, shaking him and acting coquettishly: "Aye, you can't use my feelings for Aye to judge me and that person, they are completely different!"
Then, Manager Gu next to him saw what it means to put out a fire with just one sentence...
The expression on Emperor Ming Yan's face instantly relaxed and he snorted without answering.
Yan Shiyue said: "But at that time we were on the street, and all the people watching were candidates. I couldn't not respond, and I had to respond happily."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded.
Gu Jiuxing brought a stool over, and Yan Shiyue held the stool and sat down in front of Emperor Ming Yan, saying, "Aye, actually I have an idea."
In fact, she was a little skeptical at the time that this "borrowing blessings" would be useful. After all, there was such an anti-scientific thing as two fathers and two mothers, so it was not surprising that blessings could be borrowed.
Then she secretly instructed Ding Xiaoyan to bring the old princess's pulse record.
These people have been checking the old princess' pulse for many years. The old princess is old and values her life very much, so she checks her pulse every three days and records it in great detail.
Yan Shiyue showed it to Emperor Ming Yan: "Father, I fell into the water once in Qinzhou and was in a coma for twelve days. But you see, during this period, her body is as usual, there is nothing wrong. Also, when I was sick a while ago, she was fine."
She concluded, "So, the idea that 'two lives depend on each other, and we share the misfortune and happiness' is pure nonsense."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded again.
Yan Shiyue said: "But she is Daddy's mother, there is no choice."
She looked at him quietly: "So, her staying in the family temple for a long time is not a long-term solution, but she is indeed a little confused. Even if Aye is merciful, there will always be a time when he has to punish her. So, since she wants to use my excuse to come back, why not take advantage of her."
People at that time highly praised filial piety, believing that "there are no parents who are not wrong" and "filial piety is the first of all virtues."
Among the eight punishments for governing the people, the first one was the "punishment for being unfilial". The story of Guo Ju burying his son to serve his mother① seems incredible to modern people, but it was highly praised by people at that time.
Therefore, even if the old princess has committed a huge mistake, she cannot be allowed to stay in the family temple for long. It would be fine if the world does not know about it, but if they do, it must be resolved. Otherwise, Yan Chengyuan's brothers, including her and Yan Shiwei's generation, will all be blamed.
Emperor Ming Yan sighed and had to admit that she was right: "What do you think, Yue'er?"
