Xuanyuan Yufan looked at Qing Yan and said helplessly, "Yan'er, do you know? In fact, the mother-in-law is not my biological mother-in-law. My biological mother-in-law is Shufei. I have always wondered why Shufei was the queen before. She treated me so well and said she would help me get the throne, but it was a pity that I didn’t know that Concubine Shu was my mother-in-law at that time, and by the time I found out that she was my mother-in-law, she was already dead."
Listening to Xuanyuan Yufan's words, Mu Dan frowned and then said in surprise, "How did you know about such a secret thing, Your Highness? If Concubine Yi was not your biological mother, how could she treat you so well?" And if she is not your mother-in-law, then who is his son?"
Xuanyuan Yufan looked at Mudan and shook his head, "I don't know! I overheard it when I went to Zhaoyang Palace that day. I think my mother-in-law didn't notice my existence, so she told the maid next to her that I was so nice. Yan'er, what should I do? What do you think my father will think of me if he knows this news? Concubine Shu is already dead, and I'm probably not far away from death."
Although Mudan wanted to say that you are indeed not far away from death, looking at the expression on Xuanyuan Yufan's face, she finally endured it because she knew that Xuanyuan Yufan's fate would soon be changed, because from the beginning By that time, everything was already determined.
"Yan'er, if I do anything sorry for you in the future, will you hate me?" Xuanyuan Yufan looked at Mudan and said seriously, "Yan'er, will you leave me in the future?"＼
Mudan listened to Xuanyuan Yufan's words and knew what he meant. Although Mudan didn't know who the person behind Xuanyuan Yufan was, it didn't mean that Qingyan didn't know. She looked at Xuanyuan Yufan and said with a smile, "What does His Highness mean by saying this? Could it be that His Highness has already done something sorry for me, so that's why he said this? Could it be that His Highness has done something sorry for me?"
After listening to Mudan's words, Xuanyuan Yufan said as if he understood something, "Of course not. How could I do something that is sorry for Yan'er."
Mudan looked at Xuanyuan Yufan and nodded seriously, "Isn't that enough? Your Highness will never do anything to feel sorry for me, right?"
Xuanyuan Yufan looked at Mudan and nodded seriously, "Not bad."
Peony looked at the night sky and said with a smile, "Your Highness, look at the stars in the sky, it will definitely be good weather tomorrow. Do you think the day we get married will be as good as today?"
Xuanyuan Yufan looked at Mudan and then held her hand seriously, "Yan'er, don't worry, it will definitely be a good weather on our wedding day."
Mudan looked at Xuanyuan Yufan and raised the corners of her lips, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Your Highness should go back early. Yan'er has to go to bed."
After listening to Mudan's words, Xuanyuan Yufan nodded seriously, "Yes! It's getting late, it's time to leave."
Xuanyuan Yufan glanced at Mudan reluctantly, then turned and left.
"Qinglong, do you need to tell Miss about this?" Mudan looked at the shadow in the darkness and said respectfully, "But how come Xuanyuan Yufan is not the son of Empress Yi Fei?"
Qinglong raised the corners of his lips after listening to Mudan's words, "Miss and the others already knew about this when they dealt with Concubine Shu, so it's not important at all. Maybe don't tell Miss."
Mudan glanced at Qinglong and nodded seriously, then walked towards Qingyan's room.
The next morning.
In the imperial study room, after going to court, Emperor Hongjia brought all the people involved in the case to the imperial study room.
Xuanyuan Yuzhen presented all the account books of gold, silver and jewelry for the celebration to Emperor Hongjia.
Emperor Hongjia looked at the long list of words on the account book. He threw the things out without thinking. Then he looked at Xuanyuan Yufan and said in a deep voice, "Second brother, you are the person you promoted. Look. You will indeed get a lot of benefits from coming here!"
Xuanyuan Yufan looked at the expression on Emperor Hongjia's face and said bitterly, "Father, you will never believe it no matter what your son says." He knelt down and looked at the contents of the account book on the ground with a look of surprise. He really didn't expect that Su Ming and Su Qingming would accumulate so much wealth in so many years.
"Believe! How do you want me to trust you?" Emperor Hongjia looked at Xuanyuan Yufan and said in a deep voice, "You have to know that all these things were done, how do you want me to trust you?"
Xuanyuan Yufan looked at Emperor Hongjia and said respectfully, "Father, if I say these things, I don't know, will you believe it?"
Emperor Hongjia looked at Xuanyuan Yufan and still spoke in a deep voice, "Su Ming and Su Qingming are so rich, and you actually told me that you didn't know?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the expression on Emperor Hongjia's face, stood up and said respectfully, "Father, I think the second brother may indeed be unaware. When I was interrogating Su Ming, Su Ming confessed that he never knew Knowing that Su Qingming can make so much money, I think my second brother must not know about these things."
After listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words, Emperor Hongjia frowned and said, "Are you sure Su Ming doesn't know about this? Now that Su Qingming is dead, and now there is no evidence to prove it, what the second brother says is whatever it is, how can you make me believe it!"
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Emperor Hongjia and still said respectfully, "But father, think about it, we just found the two million taels from the second brother's mansion. If the second brother really knows , there must be other money, but when Erchen led people in to search, it was confirmed that nothing was missing, and it was confirmed that there were no other secret rooms in the secret room where the money was placed, so the second brother was concerned about Su Qingming's case. It was definitely uninformed.”
"Fourth! But you have to know that if something like this happens now, the second brother can't escape responsibility." Emperor Hongjia said in a deep voice, "If something like this happens to the officials he supports, he will definitely be punished."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Emperor Hongjia and said seriously, "Father, for the sake of Yan'er's upcoming wedding to her second brother, I hope my father will not punish her second brother severely. After all, Yan'er is innocent."
Listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words, Emperor Hongjia nodded seriously, "You are right, Yan'er will marry her soon, but why do I feel that he is not worthy of Yan'er now? What do you think about this, fourth brother? What should we do?”
Xuanyuan Yuzhen listened to Emperor Hongjia's words, and then said respectfully, "Yan'er chose her own father, and we have no right to interfere, so we better not stop this marriage. If we punish the second child, We just need to take more care of Yan'er from now on."＼
Emperor Hongjia looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and nodded, "You are right. If we really punish the second child, Yan'er will also suffer, so I will not punish the second child for the time being. After we get married, this matter will Let’s discuss it later.”
