Nineteen years ago, when Empress Zhao was pregnant, her belly was larger than that of ordinary women. After being diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, she had two children in her belly. Empress Zhao was very happy.
It would be a very festive event if twins of dragon and phoenix were born in Xiyue. The whole world celebrated together, and the prosperity of dragon and phoenix had a very good meaning, so Empress Zhao was very happy.
When she was seven months pregnant, Queen Zhao learned that the two in her belly were not twins at all, but two boys.
According to the rules of Xiyue, if there are two stars, one must be removed, which is an ominous sign. Empress Zhao was greatly shocked when she heard the words, and worried for days.
At that time, Empress Zhao concealed the matter, for fear that Emperor Xiyue would let her get rid of her two children, so as not to bear a bad reputation, so Empress Zhao only told her mother, Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao tried everything after she went back, she was really worried, but coincidentally, a concubine of Uncle Zhao was also pregnant for six months at that time, so the old lady had an idea and asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse of that concubine .
Maybe it was God's will, that Concubine Ji was pregnant with a daughter, Mrs. Zhao took that concubine to her side and took care of her carefully, which made Mrs. Zhao very dissatisfied at the time, but there was nothing she could do.
When Empress Zhao was in October, the concubine Ji was only nine months old, so when Empress Zhao's fetus moved, Mrs. Zhao gave the concubine Ji some oxytocin directly, and she gave birth on the same day.
Empress Zhao still wanted to be lucky, hoping to be a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, although two daughters were fine, once she gave birth, she would still give birth to two princes. Empress Zhao cried loudly while holding the two children, reluctant to let go.
Mrs. Zhao said, "If someone else's family, the elder brother should let the younger brother, but now, the eldest son is of extraordinary status, there is no choice."
So Mrs. Zhao took away the younger one, namely Song Yan, and left Song Zhan behind.
Claiming to the outside world that it was Empress Zhao who gave birth to a dragon and phoenix twins, she made a big deal of it. It is a capital offense to confuse the prince and deceive the emperor, so Empress Zhao dared not show any strangeness.
After Mrs. Zhao brought the child back to the mansion, she took the child under her lap and raised it. She loved her very much, even more than her eldest grandson.
And named Zhao Zun, implying incomparable dignity.
As time passed, the two children were more than four years old, but Mrs. Zhao found that the two children looked exactly the same. In time, people would definitely find out, so she was even more harsh on Song Yan and forbade him to step out of the room. The invited master teaches alone.
Until one day, Song Yan and the eldest grandson of the Zhao family had a conflict. Mrs. Zhao did not blame Song Yun, but severely punished her grandson, which also left a knot in Mrs. Zhao's heart.
Afterwards, Mrs. Zhao took Song Yan to burn incense, and encountered robbers on the way, and Song Yan disappeared, and this journey lasted for more than ten years.
Mrs. Zhao was in fear all day long, and after being immersed in anxiety, she was afraid that she would be exposed one day, and the whole Zhao family would suffer accordingly.
Fortunately, all these years have passed without incident.
Apart from Mrs. Zhao and Queen Zhao, no one else knew about this matter, and all those who served Queen Zhao's delivery at the beginning were also dismissed.
It wasn't until five years ago that Empress Zhao fell ill suddenly and she was afraid that she might let go at any time, so she told Song Zhan about this. Song Zhan was also shocked when he heard the words.
Empress Zhao asked him to find Song Yan no matter what, and Song Zhan agreed. Later, Empress Zhao's health gradually improved, but she was always lingering on the sick bed.
After listening to Queen Zhao's words, Emperor Xiyue was shocked and fixed his eyes on Song Yan.
Song Zhan was brought up by him himself, and he got along with him day and night, so he knew Song Zhan better than anyone else. Looking carefully, Emperor Xiyue discovered the difference between Song Zhan and Song Yan.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty. The concubine should not lie to the majesty. I beg the emperor to forgive the Zhao family. This is all done by the concubine alone."
Empress Zhao owed Song Yan too much. Ever since Song Yan disappeared, Empress Zhao hadn't slept well at night.
"Queen, get up." Emperor Xiyue personally helped Queen Zhao up. Not only did he not blame him, but he felt sorry for Queen Zhao. After twenty years, it has become increasingly haggard."
The two hugged each other tightly, and Empress Zhao cried uncontrollably, "Your Majesty, the concubine is incompetent, unable to take good care of the two children..."
Emperor Xiyue loved Empress Zhao very much. In recent years, Empress Zhao has never been truly happy for a day, and she always thinks about Song Yan who is showing up in her heart.
Song Yan's eyes rolled slightly, and for some reason, they were a little wet. He still had a little vague memory of what happened before he was five years old.
He even thought that he was abandoned until one day, a man who looked exactly like him stood in front of him and told Song Yan about his life experience.
Song Yan was shocked. He always thought that he was an abandoned child, so he traveled all over the world and suffered all kinds of hardships, just to hold his head high in front of the Zhao family one day.
Knowing this fact suddenly, Song Yan hated it, but that day, Song Yan pretended to be Song Zhan and glanced at Queen Zhao.
Seeing that she kept talking about Yan'er, Yan'er, no matter how angry Song Yan was, his heart felt warm, at least he was not an abandoned child.
Since then, Song Yan never went to Xiyue, but went to Dongming. The more he appeared, the more dangerous Queen Zhao's mother and son would be.
Queen Zhao was very happy to learn that Song Yan was still alive, and the disease miraculously improved day by day.
Song Yan didn't care about the crown prince or his noble status at all, but he was remembered as having a mother and elder brother who loved him so much. Every time he heard how Emperor Xiyue loved Song Zhan, Song Yan became happier.
At least, his parents didn't dislike him.
Since the two met, they would meet on a date every year, and then Song Yan would pretend to be Song Zhan to visit the palace. Even though he didn't recognize Queen Zhao, Song Yan was already very content.
A month ago, Song Yan received the news from Song Zhan that Song Zhan was poisoned and must not let the military power fall into the hands of others, so Song Yan agreed, took over Song Zhan's military power, and let Song Zhan Heal your wounds with peace of mind, and take care of all this by yourself.
"It's my son who's unfilial, he's late." Song Yan suppressed his emotions for a long time, and finally couldn't help but burst out, and knelt down in front of the two with a plop.
Emperor Xiyue lifted up Song Yan himself with a look of excitement, "Yi'er, it is the father who is sorry for you, it is the father who has made you wronged for so many years, good boy, get up quickly."
Song Yan waited for these words for more than ten years, and all grievances disappeared at this moment.
After a long time, the sad atmosphere finally eased, several people settled down, and several guards brought Song Yao to the hall.
Emperor Xiyue was startled, if it wasn't for the familiar clothes Song Yao was wearing, he would never have recognized that it was Song Yao!
"Song Zhan, you're going to die!" Song Yao was tortured badly, and within a few hours of being in Song Yan's hands, he almost lost half of his life. When he saw Song Yan, he wanted to eat him alive.
The corners of Song Yan's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes flashed with a cold light, "Compared to what Uncle Eight Emperor did to Gu, this little injury is nothing."
As he said that, Song Yan stepped forward and stepped on Song Yao's wound, trampling hard, crushing, Song Yao took a deep breath, and couldn't restrain himself from screaming in pain.
"ah!"
After a long time, Song Yan retracted his legs, and the toes were still stained with blood. Song Yao almost fainted from the pain, and finally he was honest.
The Emperor Xiyue was stunned. Compared with Song Zhan's gentleness and elegance, Song Yan was much more direct, without changing his face, and his bloodthirsty temperament made people unconsciously surrender.
"Brother Huang, it's all your good son who beheaded 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiyue. He is cruel by nature and almost slaughtered the city. Father, the emperor's spirit in heaven, will never let you go!"
Song Yao didn't dare to provoke Song Yan anymore, subconsciously retreated, and told Emperor Xiyue everything that happened in Jiecheng.
Emperor Xiyue's face changed slightly, he looked at Song Yan in surprise, beheading 50,000 horses...
Song Yan raised his eyebrows, "Rather than let these 50,000 people become the blades in the hands of the Eight Emperors, killing millions of people in Xiyue, it's really not worth mentioning. How did you get hurt like this?"
"You!" Song Yao choked, and stared at Song Yan angrily, "Nonsense, this king cares about you with good intentions, but you don't know what to do and beat this king to a serious injury, it is simply unfilial, and you will die!"
Song Yan chuckled, "I think the Eighth Emperor Uncle has been praised by others these days, and he has forgotten his identity. You are the prince of Xiyue. You are just a prince who was born by a court lady. You just don't know how to be grateful, and you dare to repay your kindness!"
As Song Yan took a few steps forward, Song Yao's face changed drastically in fright, and he didn't dare to say any more.
Song Yao gritted his teeth angrily. What he hated most in his life was when others mentioned his identity. He was not born high, and even a prince would not be treated well. It seemed that all this was given by the mercy of Emperor Xiyue , so Song Yao hated Emperor Xiyue, and wanted to replace him more.
After years of forbearance, he finally planned this war, but unfortunately, he was defeated by Song Yan.
Emperor Xiyue was shocked. He squinted his eyes and stared at Song Yan. He suddenly felt that Song Yan was more suitable to be the prince than Song Zhan.
Song Zhan has more benevolence and kindness. He often likes to act on his emotions and is easily controlled by his emotions. This is the biggest taboo of an emperor.
But Song Yan is different. He has a great strategy. He controlled the entire Jiecheng in just a few days, and his calm expression attracted Song Yao. He subdued Song Yao by himself. to hand.
Song Yan glanced at Song Yao, his aloof appearance completely angered Song Yao, "Don't be complacent, the Eastern Chu army is coming soon, and the soldiers and horses in your hands are not enough to resist, you prince, very It's coming to an end, if you are sensible, let me go quickly, maybe I can intercede for you, otherwise, I will definitely drag you to hell with me!"
Song Yan bent down and leaned down, "I heard that Uncle Eight Emperor just had a grandson a few days ago..."
Song Yao's pupils suddenly dilated when he heard this, and he glared at Song Yan angrily, "How dare you!"
"Uncle Eight Emperors, dare you, don't you try it twice, why don't you still have a long memory?"
The tone seemed to be teasing, and the tone was calm. Song Yao was angry and anxious, and he didn't dare to offend Song Yan anymore, because he knew that Song Yan really dared!
Song Yan stood up and looked up at Emperor Xiyue, "Father, this is a traitor and not worthy to be the regent of Xiyue. My minister established to kill this man's head and hang it on the high wall for the soldiers to see." Look, Xiyue will never tolerate any rebels."
"You!" Song Yao glared at Song Yan angrily, but Song Yan said again, "Since ancient times, the rebels have killed the nine clans, and the members of the Eight Princes' House are also accomplices, so I implore the emperor to kill them one by one, as an example to others. !"
Song Yao was completely panicked, and looked at Emperor Xiyue, "Brother, I was wrong. All this has nothing to do with the Eight Princes' Mansion. It's because of the brotherhood between you and me for many years. Please forgive me, brother, I will do this as well." It is for the better of Xiyue, we are all brothers..."
Speaking of the emotion, Song Yao kowtowed to Emperor Xiyue to beg for mercy, and a trace of unbearableness flashed in the eyes of Emperor Xiyue.
"Dare to ask Uncle Eighth Emperor, where is the Eighth Prince?" Song Yan asked lightly.
Song Yao choked for a moment, his face turned pale and white, and he stared at Song Yan, "You are not Song Zhan at all, you must be a fake, who sent you here to deceive the king's heart, the prince, Where are you hiding the prince?"
Song Yao was driven into a hurry, so he took a random bite, and Emperor Xiyue frowned.
Song Yan smiled, but his eyes were calm, "Eighth Emperor Uncle doesn't recognize Gu as his nephew, so Gu is not welcome, come here, and everyone in the Eighth Prince's Mansion will be ransacked. One must not be missed!"
"Song Zhan!" Song Yao gritted his teeth angrily, and spat out a mouthful of blood, "You're going to die, it's wasted my teaching you for so many years..."
