Chapter 552 The Emperor's Confession

It was as if a thunderclap rang in Prince Cheng's ears. He sat up in shock from his dying illness and cried out in shock, "What?"

There is no trace of the dying look from just now.

Fortunately, Yang Chenghou already knew it and didn't care about his little thoughts. Instead, he repeated what he said in a low voice.

Prince Cheng stared at Yang Chenghou and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Yang Chenghou nodded decisively, his eyes sincere.

Prince Cheng: "!!!"

Meeting Yang Chenghou's calm eyes, Prince Cheng suspected that he had lost his mind.

He first sorted out the ages of the three Chen Huaixian brothers in his mind, and then thought about Mu Yaohua's identity at that time. He couldn't help but asked with trembling beard: "Those three brothers were not born by Mu Yaohua?"

"She was born to Mu Yaohua."

Prince Cheng: "Are all of them born to you and Mu Yaohua?"

Yang Chenghou nodded.

"But at that time she was still..." still the wife of Marquis Weiyuan!

Yang Chenghou nodded again: "I gave Chen Yanfeng compensation in exchange for Yaohua and the three children being safe and sound."

Prince Cheng was not stupid. After connecting the dots, he understood everything.

Compared with other royal relatives, he actually knew that the late emperor and the princes had been given a drug that would make them sterile, and therefore he understood why the late emperor chose Yang Chenghou to sit on this throne.

Originally, Prince Cheng didn't understand why it had to be Yang Chenghou.

But when he learned that the three Chen brothers were all descendants of Yang Chenghou, he understood everything.

The three brothers stick together and live in harmony. Two of them are married now, and the second brother's wife, Xiao Luoyi, is pregnant, so they can naturally give birth to children.

This is probably the reason why the late emperor chose Yang Chenghou to inherit the throne.

Therefore, Prince Cheng also understood why the three brothers were adopted by Mu Wanwen.

Because that is Yang Chenghou’s biological son!

The origin of the future crown prince cannot be wrong, and the identity of the legitimate son can better stop the gossips of the world.

Prince Cheng had seen the three brothers when the Emperor adopted them as his heirs. Thinking back now, they did look somewhat similar to Yang Chenghou.

"So is it true that you were poisoned by a drug that would make you lose your children?"

Yang Chenghou nodded, frowned slightly and said, "I don't want my sons to be instigated by their mother's family and fight against each other. It's better to stop it here."

Prince Cheng thought of the crazy princes in the previous palace coup and sighed silently, not knowing how to respond.

"But Mu Wanwen..."

Speaking of Mu Wanwen, Yang Chenghou said in a deep voice: "Uncle Wang, you know."

Thinking that Mu Yaohua's maiden family was originally the Mu family, Prince Cheng suddenly realized after a brief thought and pointed at Yang Chenghou: "You..."

At this point, Mu Wanwen's adoption of the three brothers of the Chen family was completely finalized.

When the announcement was made to the world, the world was in an uproar!
No one expected that the three Chen brothers would be adopted by the Queen!

This is the legitimate son!
Capable of inheriting the throne!
In just one year, the three brothers of the Chen family rose from hunters to the emperor's legitimate sons and were crowned kings!

Just as the frail Chen Huaijue fell asleep, Chen Yanfeng was pulled to the next room by the strong widow.

After taking good care of the widow with both hands and mouth, and waiting for her to fall asleep, Chen Yanfeng got up, put on his clothes and washed up, but was covered by the mouth and nose by the man in black and taken directly to a grove near the village.

Under the starlight, visibility in the woods was extremely low.

Chen Yanfeng heard the man in black ask, "Have you heard about the edict to confer the title of king?"

Chen Yanfeng: "I heard about it." "If you don't want to die, shut up and forget about it. Otherwise, nothing will be left of you and your son."

Chen Yanfeng did not hesitate: "Yes."

Chen Yanfeng waited for a long time, and when he saw no more movement, he left.

He knew very well that if he didn't keep his mouth shut, death would be a good thing, and he was afraid that life would be worse than death.

……

Mu Wanwen was not panicked at first: although the Emperor was too busy to see her and she was under house arrest, her food, clothing and other expenses remained the same as before.

But when she learned that the Emperor had been given a drug that would make him infertile and the concubines in the harem would never be able to get pregnant again, she panicked.

How can a concubine with no children hold her head high in the harem? !
Soon after, Mu Wanwen heard that the three brothers Chen Huaixian had become the three brothers Yang Huaixian, and were adopted under her name.

The person I once wanted to marry has become my stepson? !

They are even older than me!

Mu Wanwen could hardly believe her ears: Is this true?
How can this be so ridiculous?!

She wanted to ask the Emperor for clarification, but was stopped by Madam Wu without hesitation in the palace: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is busy with state affairs, you cannot disturb His Majesty."

"But I want to ask my cousin how they were adopted under my name."

"Your Majesty, this is also for your own good..."

Mu Wanwen also wanted to tell herself: His Majesty is doing this for her own good.

But since entering the palace, His Majesty has come to her palace several times, but each time he just sat for a while and left, not doing anything proper to the emperor.

Later, His Majesty the Emperor was given a drug that would make him sterile. Is he completely doomed?!

In other words, she has not yet consummated her marriage with His Majesty the Emperor.

How can she not panic?
"Xiu Fen, tell me, have those noble ladies ever accomplished anything..."

The maid Xiufen lowered her head, not daring to say anything that the Queen didn't like to hear: "Probably not..."

"Who said never?"

Mu Wanwen slapped Xiufen on the face: "After serving the emperor, they all received rewards! How could nothing come of it?!"

Xiufen fell to her knees and dared not speak anymore.

……

Chen Huai is not in the capital, but Chen Huaijin and Chen Huaiyu are both there.

Since the person is already there, there must be a ceremony to enter the palace and recognize the relatives.

Fortunately, Yang Chenghou only called in relatives of the royal family, and asked Chen Huaijin and Chen Huaiyu to kowtow and offer tea to Mu Wanwen, and the ceremony was completed.

It’s not that the royal family members didn’t have any ideas in their minds. Instead, those who had ideas would send the most outstanding sons in their families to the palace as candidates for the crown prince.

In the end, Yang Chenghou tricked his offspring to the point of being on the verge of death.

This emperor is a cruel person. If he continues to make trouble, he might not be able to seize the throne, and he might even die before his own family lineage is cut off.

As the royal family members stopped, it was difficult for others to continue to make protests.

Yang Chenghou rewarded the three brothers with three palaces, which were connected to each other to facilitate communication between the brothers.

At the same time, Yang Chenghou also awarded Daye City and the surrounding territories to Chen Huaijin, and granted Yongzhou Prefecture and three surrounding prefectures to Chen Huaiyu, but then summoned Chen Huaixian back to Beijing.

Everyone understood: His Majesty the Emperor wanted Chen Huaixian to be the crown prince? !
When they thought of the decisive and ruthless bearded King Ni, everyone regretted not taking him down.

Even Mu Wanwen in the harem harbored hatred towards this adopted son: If Prince Ren was willing to marry her, why should she marry the current Emperor?
Even though His Majesty is in his prime, he has been given a drug that makes him sterile, so he has no hope of having children. How can I hope to have my own son? !

A queen who was destined to have no biological heirs, adopted three sons who were older than herself...
