Not long after taking the medicine, Shen Mu fell asleep.
Shen Jintang looked at Wu Qiuniang who looked worried and said, "Mom, if you really can't worry about dad, you can just stay here and guard him. But your own body is also important. You must rest when you are tired."
Wu Qiuniang nodded and said to her: "Don't worry, Mom is not a child anymore. You have been tired for so long, go back and have a good rest."
Shen Jintang nodded and returned to his yard.
She set aside a branch of Echinacea and planted it on the ground in the space. For fear that the plant would not survive, she even dropped a drop of golden lotus liquid on it.
…………
The Imperial Palace. After the eldest princess returned to the capital, she went directly to the Imperial Palace.
"Father, I have seen the girl you sent me to see." After the eldest princess saluted, she reported to the emperor straight to the point.
"That Miss Shen has noble character, pure character, and rich knowledge. She is really a rare and good girl."
The emperor knew very well that his daughter was very picky and it would be difficult for ordinary people to catch her eye, let alone get a word or two of praise from her.
But now I see her praising Shen Jintang without hesitation, which confirms that Shen Jintang is indeed a rare and good girl.
The emperor stroked his beard and smiled: "I see that Yi'er is not young now, and he seems to be attracted to this Miss Shen. Since you have said that this Miss Shen is good, I will issue an edict. How about she give Yi'er a concubine?"
"Concubine?" The eldest princess frowned. After thinking about Shen Jintang's temperament, she was afraid that she would not be a concubine, even if this person was a descendant of the royal family.
"Father, that Miss Shen doesn't seem like someone who is willing to be a concubine."
To put it harshly, the side concubine is just a concubine.
"Oh? Is it possible that my Yi'er's position as a concubine can't be seen in her eyes?"
In fact, according to Shen Mu's official position, giving Shen Jintang the position of concubine is already a promotion to her.
What's more, the emperor is planning to pass the throne to Gu Baiyi in the future.
It would be fine if Gu Baiyi was just an ordinary prince and grandson, but if the emperor wants to pass the throne to him, then he has to carefully consider his future concubine.
After all, that might be the candidate for the queen of a country.
The eldest princess vaguely guessed the emperor's plan, and she said tentatively: "Father, do you think Shen Jintang's status is too low? Not worthy of Yi'er's position as the princess?"
"To be honest, she and I hit it off right away and have already accepted her as my adopted daughter."
As soon as the eldest princess said this, the emperor was even more surprised.
Although Yi'er's position as the principal concubine does require caution, he is indeed more curious about this Miss Shen.
"It seems that I need to find a time and reason to summon the father and daughter into the palace for a meeting." The emperor waved to the eldest princess and motioned for her to leave.
On the other side, Gu Baiyi kept investigating why his father's whereabouts were known to the enemy, causing him to die before leaving the army.
After so many years of research, we finally have definite information.
It turned out that it was his two imperial uncles who got in the way, bribed the people around his father, and leaked their plan to the enemy, which allowed them to fall into an ambush by the enemy.
At that moment, Gu Boyi went to see the emperor with this news.
The emperor was silent for a long time after seeing it. Gu Baiyi raised his eyes and was about to ask the emperor to seek justice for his father when he saw the emperor wave his hand to him.
Gu Baiyi had no choice but to retreat.
Seeing Gu Baiyi's figure disappear before his eyes, the emperor's chest couldn't help but spurt out the surging energy and blood.
Immediately afterwards, he fainted on the dragon case amid the exclamations of the eunuch's servants.
Gu Baiyi was a martial arts practitioner with keen ears. As soon as he walked out of the royal study, he heard the exclamations inside. His expression suddenly changed and he turned around and rushed in.
That night, after the emperor came to his senses, he ordered the imperial guards to surround the second and third prince's mansions.
Under torture of words and deeds, the third prince confessed.
The second prince was very harsh at first, but later he saw that the third prince had already attacked him, and it was useless for him to resist in the dark, so he confessed everything.
Only then did Gu Baiyi realize that there were actually the hands and feet of Aunt Sun from the Prime Minister's Mansion inside.
So the emperor sent people to the Prime Minister's Mansion, told Prime Minister Pei all the ins and outs of the matter, and captured the bearded Aunt Sun and put her in a dungeon.
After interrogation, Aunt Sun also recruited a lot of things.
This includes how Prime Minister Pei's wife died, and how Prime Minister Pei's second son Pei Heng disappeared. Now whether he is alive or dead, and where he is, everything is clearly explained.
Only then did Prime Minister Pei realize that his Aunt Sun had done so many earth-shattering things without telling him.
She actually planned and harmed her wife and son.
In grief, he quickly asked for leave from the emperor and personally took people to Qingzhou to meet his son.
……
Qingzhou.
Shen Mu woke up after sleeping for a day and a half.
Not surprisingly, he also remembered all the memories.
"Dad, no matter what decision you make, we will stand by your side to accompany you and support you."
Shen Mu looked at his wife, son and daughter in front of him, and a warmth flashed through his chest.
"Dad is ready to go to the capital after finishing the affairs piled up in the government office."
Shen Mu looked up at the blue sky. After so many years, it was time for him to go back and pay homage to his elder brother and mother.
As for Aunt Sun, there are some accounts and grudges, and it’s time to settle them.
But no one in the family expected that before Shen Mu and the others left for the capital, an unexpected person would come to the house.
"Father!"
Shen Mu stared blankly at Prime Minister Pei, who was much older than in his memory. His voice was choked with sobs. After calling him father, he was speechless.
The father and son looked at each other speechlessly, tears streaming down their cheeks.
"You brat!" After a while, Prime Minister Pei cursed with trembling lips.
When he heard Shen Mu call him father, Prime Minister Pei knew that he must have recovered his memory. It was not like Aunt Sun said that he had no memory.
Shen Jintang and Wu Qiuniang, as well as Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunban stood aside.
Shen Jintang has met Prime Minister Pei several times, and even saved one of his lives by accident.
Seeing him and his father looking at each other with tears in their eyes and saying nothing, he stepped forward and said to him: "Prime Minister Pei, please sit down and talk first."
Hearing her voice, Prime Minister Pei turned his head to look at her.
He never expected that this girl with whom he had met several times would turn out to be his granddaughter.
But, why does she still call herself Prime Minister Pei?
"Do you know my identity?" Prime Minister Pei frowned. When we met before, this girl didn't show any intention of knowing her identity.
"No, why don't you change your words? I'm your biological grandfather!" Prime Minister Pei rolled his eyes at Shen Jintang childishly.
