Fu Yunxi sat quietly next to Han Yan. It was beyond his imagination that Han Yan could figure out everything so quickly. Although he had been on guard against Brother Huang's pursuit of Han Yan from the beginning, he still didn't expect Brother Huang to take action so quickly. The imperial brother has been sitting in that position for too long, too long to allow anyone who threatens his status to live. Once they knew that Han Yan was the daughter of King Donghou, and that King Donghou was the emperor whom the late emperor had decreed to be, he immediately killed her. Although Han Yan is only a woman and cannot be the emperor at all, once Han Yan's identity is revealed, everyone will know that the emperor's current position is unjust, and everyone will rise up against him. This is something the royal brother cannot bear. So even if he knew that Han Yan was pitiful, even if he knew that maybe Han Yan was the real princess, the emperor would still kill her. As a ruler, there was nothing wrong with this matter.
But Fu Yunxi herself cannot sit idly by and ignore it. The emperor and the queen mother almost reached a tacit understanding on Han Yan's matter. Neither of them wanted Han Yan alive. When the maid of Donghou Princess Tang Xiaoqiao escaped from the Donghou Palace with Han Yan in her arms and handed Han Yan over to the Wang family, it was not unknown that Han Yan used the identity of Zhuang Hanyan to live in the Zhuang Mansion. How powerful the Queen Mother is, at least enough to detect Han Yan in the capital. But when she found out that Han Yan was a fish that had slipped through the Donghou Palace, she did not rush to kill them all because the imperial edict had not yet been found.
The late emperor's edict in which he made King Donghou the emperor has not yet been discovered. The Queen Mother knew that the late emperor had given the edict to a person, but that person did not show up, so the Queen Mother wanted to use Han Yan to print out the edict. As long as Han Yan is here, that person will definitely hand over the imperial edict to Han Yan if he knows that Han Yan is the child of King Donghou. But for so many years, that person never appeared.
The Queen Mother wanted to kill Han Yan simply, but then there would be no bait to lure the man out. So she asked Wei Rufeng to marry Han Yan, because King Wei was a confidant of the Queen Mother, which was equivalent to keeping Han Yan under surveillance. If Han Yan gets into trouble again, the Queen Mother will know immediately.
When the Dazhou family entered the Zhuang Mansion, it was to find out where the imperial edict was. The Queen Mother still couldn't trust Zhuang Shiyang, and was afraid that Zhuang Shiyang would hide it secretly after getting the edict, so she asked Taishi Zhang to investigate. Grand Master Zhang asked the eldest Zhou family, who was related to the Zhou family, to enter the Zhuang Mansion and approach Zhuang Shiyang. He used the excuse of visiting the Zhou family who had a miscarriage to stay in the Zhuang Mansion for a few more days and investigate the whereabouts of the imperial edict. However, Taishi Zhang did not expect that not only did the Zhou family fail to find out the whereabouts of the imperial edict, but they also discovered his affair with Zhuang Shiyang in front of everyone, making him the laughing stock of the entire capital.
There is a reason why these things have developed to this point many years ago. The emperor's throne actually belongs to King Donghou, Han Yan is the real golden branch, and the Queen Mother wants to kill people and silence her. Her conspiracy has only emerged now. But Fu Yunxi is now suffering from cold poison, and there may be no chance of cure.
Her eyebrows were knitted together. The current situation was so difficult that she felt at a loss as to what to do. Fu Yunxi was not wrong about this matter, and neither was she. However, if she said that there was nothing wrong with it, They get along, but there's something subtly strange about them.
"You know." Fu Yunxi said, "What are you going to do?"
Han Yan turned his head and looked at him, what else could he do? You can't rush into the palace now and snatch the throne, right? She didn't want to do that. If possible, maintaining the status quo was best. She is still an unknown ordinary woman, and he is still a powerful royal prince.
Doctor Wu and Cheng Lei looked at each other and quietly retreated, leaving space for these two people. Han Yan and Fu Yunxi should have a lot to say.
"Fu Yunxi." Han Yan asked, "How is your cold poison?"
As soon as the three words "Fu Yunxi" came out of his mouth, Han Yan paused slightly. Fu Yunxi did the same. When they got along before, whenever Han Yan got carried away, she would call him by his name, no? The cold "Prince" no longer has that politeness and distance, but only a subtle intimacy. After such a long time, Fu Yunxi felt like he was in another world when he heard Han Yan call him that again.
"For the time being," he said, "I won't die yet."
Han Yan turned her head and looked at him. Although this handsome young man was lingering on the sickbed, he was still charming and had no sense of gloom and depression. It seems that nothing in this world is difficult for him, but this man can't even control his own destiny. I don't know what to say, it seems like there is nothing to say. After knowing the truth, even explanation is superfluous. She had been holding Fu Yunxi's sleeve stubbornly, as if she was afraid that he would escape, and as if to calm her inner uneasiness. Fu Yunxi also noticed her action, and took the initiative to reach out and cover her little hand. Although Fu Yunxi's hand was cold, Han Yan seemed to feel a hint of warmth. This calmed her confused mind a lot.
"Can you tell me about the cold poison?" After a long time, Han Yan asked.
Fu Yunxi paused for a moment, smiled slightly and said, "Okay." Then he slowly began to tell the story that had been sealed in his heart for many years and had never been told to outsiders.
Fu Yunxi's biological mother, Concubine Jing, was a great beauty. This can be seen from the looks of Fu Yunxi and the emperor. Both Fu Yunxi brothers inherited their mother's excellent looks. Concubine Jing was kind-hearted and gentle, and she existed like a lotus in the palace. Such a person is not suitable to survive in the palace, but Concubine Jing is an accident. Because the emperor doted on her very much, the emperor not only doted on her, but the emperor's favor alone was not enough. The emperor could not interfere with the affairs of the harem, but Concubine Jing's blessing was that the Empress Dowager at that time also liked Concubine Jing very much. The Queen Mother's majesty in the palace was unquestionable, so no one dared to touch Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing is gentle and does not compete with others for favor. The more she is like this, the more the emperor loves her. But the emperor's favor is not a good thing. The women in the harem were jealous of her, and the queen was the most jealous of them.
As the lord of the Sixth Palace, the Queen must maintain a virtuous and tolerant appearance. This does not mean that the Queen will tolerate any woman occupying the Emperor. Especially the emperor's love for Concubine Jing has given the queen a sense of crisis, making her feel that her guard is a little unstable. After Concubine Jing gave birth to two sons for the emperor, and was about to give birth to a third son, the queen finally couldn't sit still.
The queen herself had no son, and the mother valued her son. The emperor originally preferred Concubine Jing. Now Concubine Jing gave birth to sons one after another for the emperor, and her status was unshakable. She even surpassed her as the queen in private. If the emperor had the intention to make Concubine Jing's son the prince, his own position would be in jeopardy. Could it be that if you manage your whole life and work hard to play the role of a generous and virtuous queen, in the end, you will actually make wedding clothes for others
