The emperor took Lin Zhixiao to the back of the screen to personally verify his identity, accompanied by the queen mother, Ye Chang, and Ye Xi.
The queen took out the handkerchief, held it in her hand and stirred vigorously.
Su Fengnuan thought that since Lin Zhixiao dared to take out these tokens, if he dared to come to the palace now, he would be admitting his identity. In front of the emperor, queen mother, Ye Chang, and Ye Xi, this kind of thing cannot be faked.
Sure enough, after a cup of tea, the emperor's furious voice came from behind the screen, "What a concubine for a month! What a concubine for a month! She actually... she dared, I... I..."
Ye Chang said calmly, "Your Majesty, calm down! Concubine Yue Gui is dead, and now you have a good-looking son standing here, what's wrong? There's nothing to be angry about."
The emperor coughed violently upon hearing this.
Ye Xi glanced at Ye Chang, thinking that even though he said that, no one can bear such a huge fool, let alone the most respected emperor in the world
The queen mother was afraid that the emperor would faint and hurt her body again, so she said angrily, "This is just an examination of him, and I haven't verified the integrity of the deposed prince. What is the emperor anxious about?" After finishing the sentence, she shouted angrily to the outside, "Xiaoquanzi, Go invite the deposed prince to come here."
"Yes." Koizumi responded and hurried away.
Ye Chang walked out from behind the screen first.
The queen couldn't sit still and greeted Ye Chang, and asked in a low voice, "Ye Shizi, really..."
Ye Chang nodded to the queen, "The only bottle of medicine in the world is carved with a dragon pattern, which is located on the back of the vest."
The queen gritted her teeth upon hearing this.
Not long after, Ye Xi, the emperor, the queen mother, and Lin Zhixiao came out from behind the screen one by one.
The emperor coughed again and again because of his anger, the empress dowager's face was also very ugly, Lin Zhixiao's face was as usual, when he came out from behind the screen, he glanced at Su Fengnuan.
After a while, Koizumi announced outside, "Your Majesty, the deposed prince is here!"
"Let him in." The emperor said in a deep voice.
After the deposed prince stepped into the threshold, he didn't know what happened. He looked around, saluted the emperor and the empress dowager, and looked at the rest with strange expressions, apparently he didn't know him long ago.
The prince was hit by Yan Wangdu, before he woke up, Su Fengnuan had already gone to Yanbei, after she came back, the deposed prince was imprisoned in Mingjing Garden, and he was never seen again. Since Su Fengnuan went to Yanbei, Ye Chang has been recuperating behind closed doors in the mansion, and later also went to Yanbei. Like Su Fengnuan, it was the first time seeing the prince since the prince woke up and lost his memory, especially Ye Xi.
The emperor seemed to be too lazy to examine the deposed prince himself, and told Ye Chang, "You take him to the examination."
Ye Chang nodded.
The queen mother said, "The Ai family will follow."
The emperor nodded.
Ye Chang and the Empress Dowager entered behind the screen with the abandoned prince. After half a cup of tea, the three of them came out, and the Empress Dowager's face became even uglier. Ye Chang told the emperor, "There is no dragon pattern carved by the emperor himself on the back of the vest."
Although the emperor had already affirmed it, there was still anger on his face, "It's really unexpected."
The queen looked at the abolished prince, and then at Lin Zhixiao. She was even more unwilling to accept this fact, and said to the emperor, "Even if Concubine Yue gave up the prince after birth, the prince has lived in the palace for so many years, and there is no dragon pattern on his body. How come it hasn't been exposed?"
The queen mother said angrily, "Concubine Yuegui has a deep heart. As a noble concubine, she has the right to raise her own flesh and blood. It is said that after the crown prince is born, she will not allow anyone else to intervene except for the loyal people around Concubine Yue. I can't find it. After all these years, except for those who are close to him, who would doubt the prince's authenticity?"
The queen was angry and resentful, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yue's heart is abominable. Even if the Second Young Master Lin is your son now, how can such a royal scandal that a dignified foreign son be exchanged be spread to the outside world?"
This means that even if Lin Zhixiao's status as a prince is recognized, he cannot be given the status of prince to the public, especially if there is a mother like Concubine Yue, it is hard to guarantee that she will not have the same son.
The emperor was silent.
Although the Empress Dowager disliked Lin Zhixiao because of Yue Guifei, she still felt that this was a big deal. After all, Lin Zhixiao was the emperor's son, and he was also a son with good health and both civil and military skills. So, she said in a deep voice, "This matter is so important, the Ai family thinks that the emperor should discuss it with several important officials in the court. After all, the affairs of the Tian family are related to the fate of the country."
The emperor was silent.
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor and knew that he felt uncomfortable. After being fooled by Concubine Yue Gui for so many years, he would vomit blood with anger. She looked at Ye Chang.
Ye Chang spoke slowly, "What the Queen Mother said is true."
The emperor glanced at everyone, and finally settled on Lin Zhixiao.
Lin Zhixiao looked at the emperor calmly.
After a while, the emperor asked Lin Zhixiao, "Concubine Yuegui has committed many crimes, do you know?"
Lin Zhixiao shook his head and said sadly, "I only found out about this after I received the token left by her. I didn't know about Concubine Yue before."
The emperor said, "The crown prince has been deposed."
Lin Zhixiao immediately knelt on the ground, "I only ask the emperor to spare my life, and I don't ask for anything else."
The queen suddenly snorted coldly, and said sharply, "Lin Zhixiao, you say you don't ask, but who knows what's in your heart. Maybe you're the same as your mother, with dark and ruthless calculations behind your back."
Lin Zhixiao lowered his head and said calmly, "I was born in the Lin family, and I didn't know Concubine Yue since I was a child. Although the Lin family lives in the Jianghu, I also grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics. The Empress may not believe me, but I consider myself a good character. Duanliang."
The queen said angrily, "If you have a good character, you won't threaten Miss Su!"
Lin Zhixiao looked up at Su Fengnuan, his eyes showed a little affection, and said softly, "I adore Miss Su, not for a day or two, but a few years ago, when I didn't know Ye Shizi also adored her Knowing that she is Miss Su's Mansion, I immediately went to Su's Mansion to ask for marriage after I entered Beijing. Even though Miss Su doesn't like me, I have already given my heart to me, and now I can't control my love. After a pause, he said, "Although my speech was a bit presumptuous or out of line because I couldn't ask for it, I didn't do anything indecent. If the empress said that I have bad conduct, I have nothing to say."
The queen couldn't refute for a while, and looked at Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang.
Su Fengnuan didn't want to say anything, Lin Zhixiao had done enough acting, she really didn't want to deal with him.
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said casually, "If you say that, it is understandable. There are countless people in the world who like Nuaner, and this son will not bother with everyone. Since it is a Misunderstood, now that you are the emperor's own son, you and I are considered brothers. The so-called, I haven't fought with any brother, but I hope you will keep your heart and never be an example. Otherwise, don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood."
Lin Zhixiao heard the words and said, "Since Ye Shizi said so, I'm not a person who doesn't know how to flatter me. From now on, I will definitely control my admiration and try not to cause trouble for Miss Su."
Ye Chang said, "It's not about trying, but definitely."
Lin Zhixiao looked at Ye Chang with dark eyes, and changed his words, "It must be."
Ye Chang turned around when he heard the words, and cupped his hands to the emperor, "The next thing is the emperor's own business, and I will leave."
The emperor waved his hand, "You stay here first." After finishing the words, he said to Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi, "You go back first, Su girl's body is not good, so she can rest."
Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi knew that the emperor would not let Ye Chang leave, they both nodded and quit the Nuan Pavilion.
As soon as the two walked out of the Nuan Pavilion, they heard the emperor's deep voice ordering inside, "Xiaoquanzi, Prime Minister Xuan, Bachelor Wang, Uncle Xiaoguo, and the six ministers come to the palace to have an audience."
"Yes." Koizumi responded immediately.
The emperor added, "Let's proclaim the King of Jin together."
Koizumi said again, "Yes."
Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi glanced at each other before going down the jade steps.
It was snowing in the sky, much heavier than when Su Fengnuan and Ye Xi entered the palace, large flakes of snow fell like goose feathers, and the walls of the palace, pavilions, pavilions, terraces and palaces were all stained with a layer of snow white.
Xiao Han and Xie Xuan have been waiting outside, they are not afraid of the cold because of their internal strength to protect their bodies.
Following the two of them out of the palace wall, after getting into the carriage, Xie Xuan opened his mouth in embarrassment, and said to Su Fengnuan, "It's a strange thing in a thousand years to exchange a different son."
Su Fengnuan sneered and said, "It's very timely for Lin Zhixiao to reveal his identity publicly. The crown prince was abolished earlier, and Southern Qi is lacking a crown prince. It's really a good show for him to come out at this time."
Ye Xi said honestly, "That's right, this good show isn't just for you, it's also interesting for the current ruling and opposition parties."
Xiao Han said, "This capital is really restless for a day, and I'm afraid it will be even more restless in the future."
Ye Xi said disapprovingly, "It's scary to be hiding behind the back and sneaking around all the time. It's exposed to the public, and there are people staring at it, trying to find out the big sky. Since he didn't grow up in the capital since he was a child, he can't To get involved in government affairs, even if you know that the situation is dangerous and you have never set foot before, you must have enough energy and skills to deal with it when you are first involved. Because of this, from today onwards, he has the identity of the real prince. You can't spare any more energy to trouble your junior sister, otherwise you think Ye Chang is so kind as to let him go?"
Xie Xuan tutted his tongue, "It makes sense." After saying that, he asked Su Fengnuan curiously, "He was stained with blood, did he do something in the Lin Mansion himself?"
Su Fengnuan said, "If my guess is correct, he should rely on a thousand guards to injure Lin Ke. The blood is Lin Ke's. Lin Ke seriously injured Qian Han. Hurt Lin Ke, it is hard to calm the anger in my heart."
Ye Xi agreed, "He's Ye Chang, he's so easy to bully, naturally he has to find his way back."
