Chapter 302 Birthmark, You Are My Son
Not to mention that she didn't believe it, no one in the palace would believe it.
Concubine An had a difficult labor and gave birth to the fourth prince alone in Yilan Palace, and she almost lost half her life.
After this, Emperor Ming issued an edict to seal off Yilan Palace, forcing no one to approach it and the people inside to leave without permission. From then on, Yilan Palace became no different from the cold palace, and Concubine An and the newly born Fourth Prince were trapped inside to fend for themselves.
In order to feed the Fourth Prince, Concubine An had no time to take care of herself during the confinement period, let alone begging for time in the cold palace due to her heavy bleeding body.
When she had no milk, she bit her fingers and fed her baby with blood.
Later, in order to give Beigong Youduo food, she was molested by the eunuchs many times.
She values Beigong You more than her own life and dignity. If she said that she was not Beigong You's mother, who would believe it?
When the queen learned about this, she was also shocked.
"How is this possible?" She murmured as she looked at Lin Miaoyin. Looking at the certainty in her eyes, she knew that this was not just groundless talk, but an established fact.
She glanced in the direction of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"
Lin Miaoyin shook her head. "Concubine An's identity is embarrassing, and Prince Ning is in a coma. Naturally, this matter should not be made public. Only my aunt and I know about this matter. As for Prince Ning's life experience, my aunt decides whether to investigate it or not. I will listen to her."
The queen immediately understood what she meant and nodded, saying, "Leave this matter to my aunt."
At that time, she was immersed in the pain of losing her son and didn't care about the affairs of the harem. She didn't expect that someone would perform a flower transplant under her nose.
Twenty-three years ago, Concubine An indeed gave birth to a prince.
If she was not the biological mother of Prince Ning Beigong You, then who was the prince she gave birth to?
Is it the King of Wei who is held hostage in Dayan, or the King of An who is obsessed with food, or the King of Jing who has been spoiled like a fool?
These four people were all born in the same year!
…
During this period, the palace and Prince Ning's mansion were extremely busy, but Prince An Beigong Yi was extremely relaxed.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, he was not in a hurry and did not prepare anything. After the house arrest was lifted, he went around Shengjing to find delicious food and paid no attention to other things. After eating all over Shengjing, he went to the harem every day to mess up the imperial garden of Emperor Ming under the pretext of paying respects to the empress dowager. It was obvious that he did not take the last punishment to heart at all.
But this time we were not eating beggar's chicken, but roasted sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are a rare thing. It is said that they were presented to Dayan by foreign countries and were called sweet potatoes. Later, they were introduced from Dayan to Beiliang. Because of their red appearance, they were also called sweet potatoes. However, they have not been widely planted yet, and a small piece is worth thousands of gold.
Beigong Yi got a small basket from somewhere, put it in his arms, and ran straight to the palace.
He was busy in the Imperial Garden, while Sun Changhai kept massaging Emperor Ming's solar plexus in the Imperial Study, sighing in his heart.
Can't this little ancestor go somewhere else to study food? He always runs to the emperor's back garden to set fire. Isn't he deliberately asking for trouble? Now the memorials impeaching him in the court are piling up like a mountain.
Emperor Ming felt a headache looking at the pile of memorials and he couldn't help but pinch his brows.
Regarding the incident of Prince An roasting chicken and sweet potatoes in the back garden, he has scolded him, punished him, and even put him under house arrest some time ago, but this kid has not changed his ways and still does as he pleases.
Even if he was said to be disrespectful and disregarding his father, the emperor, he would not eat alone every time he studied food, but would send a portion to him and the queen mother to show his filial piety. Not to mention, his cooking skills were really good, even the queen mother liked it.
"Forget it, as long as the Queen Mother is happy, let him do whatever he wants." Emperor Ming waved his hand, signaling Sun Changhai to take away the memorial impeaching Beigong Yi on the table.
Sun Changhai understood.
As long as Prince An doesn't burn down the imperial garden, the emperor will turn a blind eye and not care.
The Emperor's indulgence of Prince An must be to compensate him for taking back his military power a few days ago. After all, he is the Emperor's true beloved. But if Prince Jing hears about this, there will be trouble.
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
Sun Changhai was complaining in his heart when he heard hurried footsteps outside.
When he looked up, he saw a blue figure entering the imperial study. "Father, Prince An has repeatedly set fire to the imperial garden. Yesterday, he burned to death the plum tree that I planted for you a few years ago. You must make a decision for me."
When Emperor Ming saw Beigong Yu, he suddenly felt the pain in his solar plexus, which had just eased, begin to throb again.
Beigong Yi knew nothing about the situation in the imperial study.
At this moment, he was lying deep in the plum forest of the Imperial Garden, with his butt sticking out in a very ungraceful manner, fanning the fire.
Soon, as the smoke rose, the sweet aroma spread throughout the entire Merlin.
Beigong Yi took a deep breath intoxicatedly, "Hmm, this is the taste."
After turning off the fire, he simmered it for another quarter of an hour before using a shovel to dig out a few golden and fragrant sweet potatoes from the fire. He selected a few large ones and told the servant beside him, "Send these two to the Empress Dowager, and the rest to the Imperial Study."
After the servant left, he picked a roasted sweet potato that he liked from the ground, slowly peeled off the skin, held it in a handkerchief, and began to eat it leisurely.
Halfway through the meal, I regretted not bringing tea with me, otherwise it would have tasted even better.
After finishing eating, he wiped the dust off his hands gracefully, picked up the roasted sweet potatoes on the ground and wrapped them in his handkerchief. When he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and carefully counted the roasted sweet potatoes wrapped in the handkerchief.
No, there are two missing!
He narrowed his eyes and looked around. Merlin actually hid a thief!
"Who stole my roasted sweet potatoes? Come out now!" He shouted into the air. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away, as if something was crawling. He subconsciously looked over, but saw nothing.
"What a hell!" he muttered, thinking that he was unlucky. He packed up the roasted sweet potatoes and was about to leave.
At this moment, his butt was suddenly pushed by something, and he almost plunged his head into the ashes of the roasted sweet potato. He subconsciously raised his hand to grab the thing behind him, "How dare you! Who is plotting against me?"
Being lifted up, Lady An was so frightened that she trembled and her already short body shrank into a ball.
Seeing the anger in the man's eyes, she lowered her head in panic.
But when she lowered her head, she accidentally saw the red birthmark on the other person's wrist. Her expression suddenly changed, and her originally turbid eyes became clear for a moment. She looked up blankly, staring at the young man in front of her without blinking.
"Son, son..." Her mouth was bulging with sweet potatoes. When she opened her mouth, the sweet potatoes fell out mixed with saliva.
"Ah——" Beigong Yi didn't hear what Lady An said clearly. The strange body with only a head but no limbs frightened him so much that his scalp went numb and his face turned pale. Then his hand seemed to be stabbed by something, and he subconsciously threw the person out.
"What the hell is that!" He looked at the thing on the ground in horror.
He saw a yellowish liquid on his sleeve out of the corner of his eye. His stomach churned and he almost vomited the roasted sweet potato he had just eaten.
He didn't care about the cold weather and tore off half of his sleeve.
This time, Lady An could see more clearly.
Yes, it’s this birthmark!
"Son, son, you are the one who is in trouble..." With tears in her eyes, Lady An arched her body and crawled towards Beigong Yi desperately.
