Chapter 501: Fear
These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Xiao Hongyi tremble with fear.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? What bastard?" Xiao Chengqian looked at Xiao Yanli in confusion.
Xiao Hongyi came back to his senses and echoed in confusion, "Yes, Your Majesty, what kind of bastard is confounding the royal bloodline?"
"Grandfather." Mu Jingxing walked in. "Didn't you say that my uncle and cousin should go to the palace to decide on the candidates for my cousin's wife and concubine? Why are you suddenly sending them here?"
Is this the unexpected surprise that Guanchen mentioned?
"...Grandfather, what did you just say about that bastard? Don't tell me that you and your son aren't of royal blood? This... this is impossible, right?"
Xiao Hongyi: "Your Majesty, I am the son of my father, the king, and my mother, the consort. I am your nephew. How can you say that I am confusing the royal bloodline?"
"Heh!" Xiao Yanli sneered, "Are you of royal blood? You should know very well. Tell me honestly who your biological parents are."
Xiao Hongyi was speechless. "My biological parents are in the palace. I am their biological son. The emperor can summon them to the palace. How can I not be their son? This is a joke!"
"Your Majesty, is there some misunderstanding? How could my father not be my grandparents' son?"
At this moment, Xiao Chengqian suddenly understood the real reason why his father was so eager to rebel.
He doesn't have any uncle at all!
It is possible that his father is fake!
But my father looks like my grandmother!
Could it be that my father is a child of the Gu family?
This is the only possibility!
Xiao Yanli looked at Xiao Chengqian's expression, he seemed really unaware.
But not innocent!
"Misunderstanding? I have sufficient evidence to arrest you. Come! Imprison these two in the Sky Prison first."
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Hongyi was anxious. "I don't know whose slander you believed. This humble minister cannot be anything other than the son of my father, the king, and my mother. The son resembles his mother, and I resemble my mother. Your Majesty can summon them into the palace."
Xiao Yanli looked at Xiao Hongyi's face and still felt that he was his brother's wife's son.
Mr. Jiang would not lie to him.
After all, he had already met his beloved nephew. "Sent a fake brother-in-law into the palace to give false testimony so that you can continue to be a fake prince?"
Xiao Hongyi's heart sank. How could the emperor know?
"I don't know what the emperor means. Please summon my father, the queen, and my mother to the palace. They know best whether I am their son or not."
"Don't worry, you will see your adoptive parents. Come! Take them away and keep them under strict guard!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You cannot listen to other people's slander. I am your nephew, Your Majesty, wuuuu..."
Xiao Hongyi was covered with his mouth by the imperial guards and dragged out. Xiao Chengqian said nothing, followed behind with his head down and a miserable expression.
He is not of royal blood!
No wonder Song Yu refused the marriage proposal, she had known it for a long time!
What should Huanhuan do? He can't protect her anymore.
"Grandfather, is Xiao Hongyi really not of royal blood? But he looks like my great-uncle."
Xiao Yanli smiled and nodded, "I've seen the real thing. He actually picked out the best features of your great-uncle, great-grandmother, especially his eyebrows and eyes, which look very much like your great-uncle, great-uncle. He's also quite capable. Did he come up with the method to increase grain production?"
Mu Jingxing was surprised, "So the young man that Mr. Jiang has his eyes on is actually my uncle?"
“That’s right!”
"Who is he then?"
Xiao Yanli patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "The three of them haven't recognized each other yet, so I can't tell them yet. It's getting dark, so let's go back quickly."
"Okay! Grandson, take your leave."
Wang Gui: "Your Majesty, Princess Lin and Du Zhihuan are still in Prince Rong's mansion. Do you want to arrange for someone to take them to prison?"
Xiao Yanli narrowed his eyes. "They don't know anything yet. My younger brother and sister are not at home yet. They are already worried enough. Let's wait until Ming En recognizes them before making any decisions. Arrange someone to keep an eye on them first, as well as the Lin and Gu families."
"yes."
When Xiao Hongyi and his son entered the palace, Jiang Youya went to the Song Mansion and brought Xiao Yanxu to the Jiang Mansion.
After dinner, the sky was getting darker and darker, and Xiao Yanxu was getting anxious and crazy.
"Old Jiang, it's already past twilight hour and Ningning hasn't arrived yet. Why don't you just tell me where Ningning is? I'll go get her myself."
"Your Highness, please be patient. Someone just sent a message saying that the Princess is on her way back. The distance from the east city to the Jiang Mansion is long, and if the carriage goes too fast, the Princess will not be able to handle it. We must send her back safely at all costs."
"Yes, you have to be careful."
Jiang Youya added, "The courtyard next to Furong Garden has been cleaned up. You and the queen can stay here tonight. Tomorrow you and the queen can sit down and have breakfast with Wanwan and Sister Yu."
Xiao Yanxu originally wanted to get close to Song Yu, and Jiang Yunwan was pregnant with his grandson.
"Okay, then let me see the jade token first."
"It's dark now, I can't see clearly, let's try again tomorrow morning."
"Then tomorrow, after the king has reviewed the jade token, Sister Yu and Wanwan will move to Prince Rong's residence. From now on, the king and the princess will take care of them."
Jiang Youya couldn't help but curl his lips. He wondered if Ming En's sudden resurrection would scare him?
"Okay, okay, I'll follow your instructions."
Feng Yingying took people to clean up the yard next door and then went to Furong Garden.
"Wanwan, everything is ready. I'll make sure the two elders live comfortably. Hey, where are Sister Yu and Yun'er?"
"Sister Yu is waiting anxiously at the gate. I wonder how Princess Gu is doing?"
Feng Yingying said, "With Sister Yu and Divine Doctor Lu, Princess Gu will definitely be fine. And, you can't call her Princess Gu, you have to call her Mother."
Jiang Yunwan said, "We haven't recognized each other yet, so don't yell. By the way, how is Shushu?"
"Ha..." Feng Yingying laughed heartily, "Shushu feels relieved every day and is in a good mood. She's taking very good care of herself and will give birth in a few days."
"What? So fast?"
"Not anytime soon. The due date is just a few days away. The sooner you give birth, the easier it will be."
Song Yu was anxiously pacing at the gate of Jiang's residence at this moment, "Why hasn't he come yet?"
Jiang Shiyun: "It should be here soon. The Empress is blessed with good fortune. She will be fine and will be fine after a few days of rest. It was quite dangerous today. I am scared when I think about it now. If we can't find the fake Empress, I am afraid that my uncle will be persecuted again."
Song Yu was also frightened. How could she have imagined that her grandmother was fake?
"Luckily it wasn't the Illusion Face Gu, otherwise even if it was fake we wouldn't be able to detect it. My father went to recognize her and said she had two sons. It would be easy for her to bring her back to Prince Rong's Mansion and harm us."
Jiang Shiyun nodded: "It's really terrible to think about it. Fortunately, my uncle sent people to keep an eye on the two elders. Otherwise, even if the fake princess was found, the whereabouts of the queen would be unknown. Your grandmother didn't even realize that she was a fake that day."
Song Yu said, "She's a member of the Gu family, and she has the same ears as grandma, so naturally she looks a bit like grandma. It's normal that grandma didn't notice it, after all, we haven't seen each other for eighteen years."
"Sister, cousin." Jiang Guanchen rode his horse to the gate of the mansion first. "I'm back. I'm right behind you."
Song Yu hurried over, stopped the carriage and got in.
Gu Yining still hadn't woken up and was still sleeping on the small couch. The big bump on his forehead had gone down a lot.
Song Yu didn't care about the pain and started to feel the pulse.
The carriage was dim, and Song Mingen couldn't see Song Yu's expression, but his heart was in a knot and he clenched his hands tightly, fearing that Sister Yu's diagnosis would be the same as the old doctor's.
After a moment, Song Yu pulled out a medicine bottle from the embroidered cloth bag at her waist and poured out the only remaining Nei Yuan Dan inside. "Dad, gently pry open grandma's mouth. This Nei Yuan Dan needs to be placed under her tongue."
Song Mingen didn't dare to delay and did as he was told.
After Song Yu stuffed the Nei Yuan Dan under Gu Yining's tongue, Song Mingen asked in a low voice, "Your grandmother's body will be able to recover as before, right?"
