When they returned home at night, the Crown Princess wanted to keep her son with her, but she couldn't and could only watch the three of them leave.
The nanny standing by saw her reluctance and said, "Crown Princess, as long as the young master is still alive, you will have plenty of opportunities to meet each other in the future. You really can't let the young master's identity be exposed now, or it will be dangerous."
The Crown Princess nodded, "I know the severity of the situation, but it's inevitable that I will lose my composure a little."
The son she hadn't seen for several years appeared in front of her, and she really wanted to announce to the world that her son had been found.
As time went on, changes were inevitable, so Prince Han began to pressure the Second Prince and oppose him everywhere, even the Mu family, which remained neutral, showed signs of leaning towards the side.
The consequence of this was that the second prince poisoned the emperor without any regard for the consequences. The deadly poison caused the emperor to vomit blood.
After the emperor's last incident, his health was no longer as good as before, and this time it almost cost him his life.
The emperor no longer cared about the father-son relationship and directly put the second prince into prison. Later, he was imprisoned in the second prince's mansion and was not allowed to step out of the mansion for the rest of his life. The second prince died half a year later.
Of all the princes, only the Fourth Prince was left. Everyone thought that death was a foregone conclusion, but miraculously his father got better and was even able to handle state affairs.
The Fourth Prince was so angry that he wanted to find Prince Han many times and even rebel. However, Prince Han seemed not to understand his hints. He still went to court every day and played chess with the emperor in his spare time.
Mu Qingqing gave birth to a boy, who was doted on from birth. The emperor and empress gave him many gifts.
Another year passed, and the Fourth Prince grew up gradually, with his ambitions growing.
He joined forces with other ministers to force his father to make him the crown prince. He never thought that King Han would object, nor did he think that King Han would refuse him to become the crown prince.
However, Prince Han looked at the Fourth Prince firmly in front of all the civil and military officials in the court and said, "Your Majesty, I do not agree that the Fourth Prince should become the Crown Prince Wen. In the past two years, the Fourth Prince has used his status to amass a lot of money and even bought and sold official positions. Therefore, I believe that the Fourth Prince has no talent or virtue and cannot become the Crown Prince of the current dynasty."
The fourth prince's eyes widened, and he pointed at King Han in shock, "How do you know all this? Besides, I am the only son of my father. If he doesn't make me the crown prince, does he want to make you the crown prince?"
"I understand, Father, Prince Han intends to rebel and wants to replace you!"
His tone was unquestionable and he looked at King Han with resentment, expecting the emperor to punish him.
The emperor glanced at Prince Han with some embarrassment. Really, if his younger brother wanted the throne, he could just tell him in private. I would secretly draft an edict, bypassing the ministers, and when everything became a big deal, it would be useless even if they opposed.
He coughed lightly and looked at King Han, "Brother Chen, do you really want the throne?"
The attitude was too gentle, and the Fourth Prince was shocked. What did the emperor mean? Did the two of them collude?
King Han rolled his eyes towards the sky and said, “Only a fool would want to sit in that position. I have finally rescued you, so don’t try to cheat me.”
Prince Han bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, besides the Fourth Prince, you still have a blood relative alive in this world."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the court was shocked and couldn't help but whisper to each other.
The emperor looked at the other party in surprise, and after a while he couldn't help asking, "Who are you talking about, brother Chen?"
King Han directly ordered someone to call An An to the main hall.
An An is already ten years old and has grown into a handsome young man.
The emperor stood up from the dragon throne in shock and pointed at An An tremblingly, "Who is he?"
He had an answer in his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
Like, really like.
King Han nodded to An An, who undid his robe and knelt down gently, "Greetings to Grandfather Huang. Long live Grandfather Huang!"
Royal grandfather, he called me Royal grandfather? The emperor covered his chest, his face flushed with excitement. He walked down the steps, walked in front of An An, and helped him up with trembling hands.
The emperor had tears in his eyes and looked at King Han for help, "Brother Chen, please don't lie to me, is this true?"
Prince Han smiled and nodded, "You also know that my Prince Han's Mansion has adopted a child and raised him under his knees, right? He is An An. I rescued him from the border, but I was afraid that he would be in danger, so I kept it a secret from Your Majesty." The emperor was not angry at all, but nodded frantically, "Good hiding, good hiding!"
Suddenly remembering something, he rolled up An An's sleeves, revealing the birthmark underneath.
The emperor, the supreme ruler, shed tears. He was really Yangyang, my little grandson.
All the ministers present gasped. They had originally been thinking whether they should support or oppose Prince Han if he had ambitions for the throne. But now there is an eldest grandson of the emperor who has a similar status and position, and he is also the legitimate son. The royal family is in big trouble.
Looking at General Mu who remained calm throughout, the people present realized that he had known about it for a long time.
The fourth prince suddenly screamed, "No, how could he be the prince's child? I don't believe it, it's impossible."
His eyes were filled with pain, he just couldn't believe it. He was so close to that position just now, he almost became the crown prince, how could this happen?
He looked at King Han angrily, his face twisted, and he wished he could tear him to pieces.
"It's you, isn't it? He's not the eldest grandson of the emperor. I want a blood test!"
The royal bloodline cannot be questioned. Even if the Fourth Prince does not say anything, the Emperor will still have to do a blood test to test his kinship.
When the queen and the princess heard that the little grandson had been found, they immediately came to the hall.
When the queen saw An An, she immediately hugged her, tears welling up in her eyes, "Yangyang, I'm your royal grandmother, call me grandma."
The voice was trembling. The princess beside him had already wiped away her tears and was full of gratitude to King Han. It was her brother's child, indeed.
An An called her grandmother, neither humbly nor arrogantly, but with a hint of affection. King Han had already told him about his life story, and he also knew King Han's expectations of him, so he had been studying hard, learning martial arts and knowledge.
There were bursts of exclamations in the quiet hall, "It's melted, it's really melted!" "Thank God, it's really the emperor's eldest grandson!"
Everyone looked at An An with fiery eyes. An An stood straight without any nervousness in his eyes. Haha, she was indeed the prince's child. They had only seen this kind of demeanor in the prince and King Han.
An An was directly left in the palace. An An had a reunion dinner with the emperor, the empress, the princess and their family. The empress felt that An An was well-educated.
At night, the queen was sitting on the couch in a daze when the princess walked in from outside.
"Mother, what are you thinking about?"
The queen glanced at her and sighed, "Yangyang just came back, and was also rescued by King Han, but should we get rid of King Han for Yangyang?"
The princess's expression changed and she turned pale. She knew her mother would think so.
"Mother, since Prince Han sent Yangyang back, it means that he has no intention of taking the throne and wants to support Yangyang. Are you doing this to give Yangyang a strong enemy?"
"Yangyang doesn't have the strength to deal with King Han, and there's also the Fourth Prince standing by, eyeing him covetously. The reason King Han didn't choose the Fourth Prince is probably because he's afraid that the Fourth Prince's character is not up to par."
"And the emperor's health."
The Queen's expression changed suddenly. Yes, the Emperor would not live for more than two years. Yangyang's foundation was still shallow and he needed help. Prince Han was the best candidate.
On the second day, Prince Han and Mu Qingqing went to the palace with their child. Prince Han even prepared for the worst. If the emperor and the queen wanted to attack them, they would escape even at the risk of their lives.
When he arrived at the place, there was no swordplay as he had imagined, but instead several people warmly entertained him. The emperor even held his hand and thanked him, but he felt disgusted by his tearful look.
The Crown Princess also arrived. She looked much younger now. She smiled and looked at An An kindly.
Two years later, the emperor passed away and his eldest grandson succeeded to the throne. The fourth prince left with his family.
Another year passed. With the little emperor's reluctant gaze, Prince Han and Princess Han said goodbye and went out to travel. They were accompanied by General Mu, Madam Mu, and the second and third young masters of the Mu family.
Yes, the second young master resigned, and the eldest young master of the Mu family was the only official in Beijing, and it was the young emperor who insisted on it. (End of this chapter)
