Xiao Chengyi stretched out his hand to help Yuan Shuolin up and said, "I said that everything I did was for Yan Yan. If the prince really wants to thank her, just thank her."
Yuan Shuolin was stunned for a moment after hearing these words, and then nodded: "I will never forget the great kindness you and the county master have shown me. If you need it in the future, I will be obliged to do so."
What Xiao Chengyi wanted was his words. He helped Yuan Shuolin see the situation clearly and saved his life in order to accumulate blessings for Yan Yan and let her receive blessings.
This way, even if he can't be by her side in the future, she won't be alone.
Yuan Shuolin untied his knot and left the General's Mansion in a relaxed mood. It was only after returning home that he heard that his mother-in-law wanted to see him, so he entered the palace again.
Concubine Yan was walking back and forth in the room. When she saw King Jing coming in, she hurriedly greeted him and asked worriedly: "Lin'er, are you okay? I heard that your father was angry with you. What on earth is going on?
What's going on?"
Yuan Shuolin helped Concubine Yan sit down at the table and said, "Don't worry, Concubine, my son is fine. It's just that today after my father woke up and reviewed the memorial, I found that the courtiers were submitting memorials one after another to make me the crown prince. My father was already ill, so after reading
It’s natural to be angry at such a break, and my son understands.”
Concubine Yan frowned, looked at King Jing and said, "But Concubine Mother also heard that your father actually asked you to invite yourself to the fiefdom, is it true?"
Yuan Shuo said: "It's true. My son has already promised that after his father's dragon body recovers, he will invite him to the fiefdom and seal it."
Concubine Yan was shocked when she heard this: "Lin'er."
"Mother concubine."
Yuan Shuolin held Concubine Yan's hand and looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "My father never intended to make me the crown prince, and his love for me was all fake. It was just to check and balance the emperor brother, so that we can be mutually exclusive."
Fight, fight to the death!
My father has more than two sons: me and my brother. He has a son he likes outside the palace. This throne is also reserved for him, so why should I stay in his way?"
Concubine Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked with a stiff face: "You...you know everything?"
When Yuan Shuolin heard what she said, he couldn't help but frown and asked curiously: "Is it possible that the mother and concubine also know about it?"
Concubine Yan nodded: "I went to see Empress Han, and she told me that Your Majesty had an illegitimate child hidden outside the palace, and that His Majesty's real choice for the crown prince was Jing Xuan.
After I learned the news, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I didn't dare to tell you. Moreover, I knew that Queen Han had ulterior motives. She told me the news because she wanted to see you brothers kill each other.
I watched Jingxuan grow up, and you brothers grew up together. To be honest, my mother-in-law is very confused and doesn’t know what to do?"
Ever since she learned the news, there was not a day that went by that she wasn't worried, worried about her baby and Jing Xuan.
Yuan Shuo never thought that his mother-in-law already knew about this, so he consoled him: "Mother-in-law, you should know Jingxuan's character. If he becomes the prince, he will not treat his mother-in-law and Jiahe badly.
The Han family has fallen. If I don't give up on my own initiative, the Yan family will become the second Han family. You should find an opportunity to talk to your uncle and ask him to let go of his power as soon as possible and take care of himself."
Concubine Yan held King Jing's hand with some guilt and said, "It was my concubine who harmed you."
If it weren't for her and the Yan family behind her, her son might not have been treated so unfairly.
Yuan Shuo hurriedly said: "Concubine, don't say that. My son wants to become a prince and emperor because he wants to protect his concubine and Jiahe so that you don't have to be bullied by others. My son believes that Jing Xuan can do it."
