Chapter 487 Sister Yu wants to be listed in the Imperial Edict
"Sir, Miss Du has fainted and is now being kept at Yilan Fanghua to recover from her injuries."
Xiao Chengqian asked, "Did Song Yu ask about anything else? For example, about the ambushes along the way?"
Long Wu said: "No, maybe he hasn't remembered yet. Song Yu was the one who attacked Miss Du. She has now returned to the Jiang Mansion, and Prince Mu went straight to the palace."
"Gosson." Xiao Hongyi came in.
"Your Majesty."
"You step back first."
"Yes." Long Wu bowed and walked out.
"Father, my cousin has returned to the palace now, and there's been no activity in the palace. Is the little prince okay?"
Xiao Hongyi: "Didn't Prince Mu go straight to the palace after returning from the flower farm this morning? There must be a doctor among those more than a hundred people. If nothing unexpected happens, the little prince will fall into a coma today. The emperor didn't take any action, so the little prince is naturally stable."
Xiao Chengqian: "Doesn't that mean the Emperor is suspicious of us?"
"Your Majesty has no evidence. Besides, the recipe is excellent. It was written by Du Zhihuan, and she doesn't know what snacks the little prince likes to eat on a daily basis. Father has already sent people to the Du Mansion. If Du Zhihuan dares to say anything wrong, don't blame father for being rude."
Xiao Chengqian: "Huanhuan won't tell you. Don't touch her. If you do, the Emperor's suspicion will deepen. Everything we do next might happen under his nose."
Xiao Hongyi's face was gloomy. "I'm afraid that from today on, we are under the Emperor's nose. We must proceed with caution. Now we can only wait for the Emperor to explode."
"What if Song Yu went to the palace and diagnosed the emperor?"
Xiao Hongyi remembered the pot of orchid still in the imperial study and curled his lips. "Once we find out, Song Yu won't be able to do anything. After all, even if the little prince is rescued, he won't be able to rule a country. The Great Abyss will only belong to us, father and son."
Jiang Mansion
"Ming'en, Yun Zhou should have told you that the Emperor asked me to provide clear evidence within five days. There is no clue about Xiao Hongyi's biological mother, and now the most powerful evidence is you."
Song Mingen said, "This matter is entirely up to my father-in-law."
Jiang Youya smiled and squinted his eyes to look at Song Mingen carefully.
With such a big body, it would still be conspicuous if she entered the palace with him in disguise.
However, making the emperor leave the palace more conspicuous, "Wen Can should have a lot of fake beards. Go look for him later and see if he has a mustache like Chang Huai's. Have Wanwan paint your face darker. Tomorrow, you can pretend to be Chang Huai and come into the palace with me."
Song Mingen tilted his head and looked carefully at Chang Huai's face.
Chang Huai patted his face hurriedly and moved closer to let Song Mingen take a closer look. "Sir, I am half a head shorter."
Song Mingen smiled and said, "Ha, it's okay, just bend down."
"Grandfather, I'm back." Jiang Guanchen went straight to Song Mingen as soon as he came in, "Uncle, my cousin is back with me."
"What's the Du family's reaction today? Are they favoring Du Zhihuan?"
"Yes, the Du family doesn't care much about my cousin. They believe whatever Du Zhihuan says. Let my cousin spare Du Zhihuan's life!"
Song Mingen's face darkened. "Don't even think about recognizing Sister Yu again in the future. Sister Yu is my daughter. If they don't love her, I do!"
"But my cousin still cares about Madam Du very much, and will still visit her at the Du family in the future."
"That's Sister Yu's grandmother, and I can't stop her. Du Er said today at the flower manor that he would protect and pamper Sister Yu, but he completely forgot everything when he returned to the Du Mansion." The more Song Mingen spoke, the more obvious the anger on his face became.
"Don't be angry, uncle. Although he is under control, he and General Du and his wife are not partial to Du Zhihuan."
"Control?" Song Mingen was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"Du Zhihuan was worried that the truth would be exposed, so she got some "Yan Ting Cong Pills" from Yang Xu in advance and gave them one to convince them that she had no intention of harming her cousin..."
Song Mingen: "The Yan Ting Ji Cong Wan must not be known to too many people, especially Prince Rong and his son, otherwise it will be a big trouble."
"Don't worry, uncle. I've asked Ah Si to keep an eye on my cousin."
Song Mingen put on the mask and said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has returned to Furong Garden."
Jiang Youya smiled and nodded: "Go ahead."
"Guan Chen, is there still no clue about Prince Rong's biological mother?"
"There's been no progress for now, but I've also arranged for people to investigate the wives, concubines, and mistresses of Gu Wanqing's father and brothers. If our guess is correct, we'll eventually find them."
When Song Mingen returned to Furong Garden, he saw Caiwei guarding the door of Song Yu's room and hurried over.
"Master, the young lady has just laid down, and the mistress is coaxing her in there now."
Song Mingen nodded, gently pushed open the door and walked in.
Song Yu was physically tired, but his mind was very active. He quickly opened his eyes when he heard the noise, "Daddy, take off the mask quickly. I want to see your face again."
Song Mingen took off his mask and revealed a gentle and kind smile.
"Mom, look, Daddy has the same big eyelids as Grandma. No wonder Daddy is so good-looking, he has inherited all the good qualities of Grandpa and Grandma."
Jiang Yunwan carefully examined Song Mingen's face again. "You're right. You picked out the best of both of them. However, your father's big eyelids are more natural and beautiful than your grandmother's. And your father looks only ten years younger than them."
Song Yu: "Grandpa and grandma look younger because they travel and have no worries."
"Yes, the elders didn't know that the child they raised was fake..." Jiang Yunwan realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words: "Perhaps the elders may have been out looking for your father for the past 18 years."
Song Mingen said, "I hope the elders don't know anything. If they do, I will never see them again in my lifetime."
Song Yu suddenly looked anxious. "Wouldn't it be dangerous for Grandpa and Grandma to return to Prince Rong's mansion? After all, Prince Rong is suspicious of your identity, and I'm afraid he might take their lives."
"Not for now. I've already arranged for someone to keep an eye on Prince Rong's mansion. The day after tomorrow is Prince Xiao's birthday banquet. Even if it means harming the two elders, we have to celebrate the birthday banquet. Tomorrow, your grandfather will bring me to the palace to let the emperor recognize me first."
Song Yu frowned. "It's not enough for the Emperor to recognize you. He needs your grandparents to recognize you and let them know that you are their only son. Prince Rong might also try to manipulate your grandparents into saying that you are his twin."
Song Mingen nodded, "Letting the Emperor recognize me first means controlling Prince Rong first. Without clear evidence, the Emperor won't believe it, and it's impossible to arrest Prince Rong for interrogation. Now all the ministers in the court are his confidants."
"Oh, I see." Song Yu took Song Mingen's arm and rocked it gently. "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow coming soon. I really want Daddy to recognize his ancestors and return to his roots soon. I'll also have more grandparents to love me. Oh, Daddy, will they love me?"
Song Mingen smiled and said, "Of course they will spoil you. The two elders have given you eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs."
"No. At that time they treated me like their granddaughter-in-law, not their granddaughter."
"Yes!" Song Mingen gently touched Song Yu's head and said in a doting tone, "I will definitely treat you like my own granddaughter. When Dad returns to his ancestral home, you can only live in Prince Rong's mansion for a long time and can't go to the Du Mansion every now and then."
Song Yu did not express his opinion for the time being, as the Du family still had their grandmother.
Seeing that she was silent, Song Mingen said, "Okay, if you miss your grandmother, go back to see her..."
