Chapter 1417 Dont be a cannon fodder (16)
How can a mere princess compare to a real prince? She has nothing to fear.
When Feng Yucheng becomes emperor, the girl will still have to rely on him for her marriage.
At this point, the matter was dropped, and no one in the Shangshu Mansion mentioned it again.
In the following days, the Queen Mother did not have much appetite and often looked at one place in trance. The only thing that reassured her was that the emperor only had one heir, the prince. Even if the queen was gone, the emperor would not touch the prince.
He also said that the prince was already seventeen and should have reached the age of marrying a concubine long ago.
However, the queen has been ill in the past few years, and he has always refused. Now that the Queen is gone again, it will take another three years.
The Queen Mother originally planned to pick and choose the person first. But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it, so he decided to push it back. After all, the emperor had such a bloodline, so he wouldn't really be wronged.
The emperor was actually not too sad, he just sighed a little.
If the queen's surname is not Chu, it's not that he can't tolerate her.
Its just that his health is getting worse. The prince will ascend the throne in the future and the queen will not die, which makes him uneasy.
Originally, he was very happy that Concubine Ye was pregnant, but something unexpected happened and another bloodline was lost.
He guessed that this matter probably had something to do with the Queen, but after all, he still held a grudge about it.
Its just that now there are no more people and everything has passed.
"She is finally dead." Concubine Ye murmured in her bedroom, "I can finally recognize my son, and I am no longer afraid that the queen will harm my son."
One month after the queen's death, Shangshu went to the palace to see the emperor and confessed the events of that year with tears and runny nose.
The old minister is guilty, please ask the emperor to atone for his sins.
Facing the prostrate Shangshu, the emperor was a little confused: "If you have anything to say, please get up first."
"Your Majesty, let me kneel down and say this. This matter starts from the summer fifteen years ago. That summer was particularly hot. The Emperor was considerate of Concubine Ye's pregnancy and allowed her to go to the summer palace to raise the fetus. Originally I was counting the time to come back, but I never thought that the day would be advanced..."
Later, Concubine Ye gave birth to a child, and it turned out that someone was plotting evil and wanted to persecute the emperor's heir.
At that time, on his way back to Beijing with his wife, he happened to meet Concubine Ye asking for help. Because the sky was high and the emperor was far away, they were afraid that someone would really harm the emperor's heir, so they exchanged their daughter with the prince. As expected, those people had evil intentions and ignored Concubine Ye. Instead, they kept chasing the guards with the children.
As a result, the guard fell off a bottomless cliff with the child in his arms, while the prince was kept in the Shangshu Mansion, who was the Shangshu's son Feng Yucheng.
The emperor did not come to his senses for a while after hearing this. Although the minister thought that the emperor would not blame him and thought that he was loyal in sacrificing his daughter to save the prince, the emperor did not say anything and he was still very uneasy in his heart.
This is the emperor, and his thoughts are the hardest to figure out. Otherwise, there would be no such saying as accompanying the emperor like a tiger.
"Okay... Feng Aiqing, you are truly my dear friend."
The emperor laughed and went down to help the minister up in person: "Originally, I thought I only had one heir, the prince, but I didn't expect there is another prince. It's all thanks to you."
The emperor and his ministers sighed.
After the emperor found out the truth, he immediately issued an order to summon Feng Yucheng to the palace, restored his identity, changed his name to Yang Yucheng, and commended the minister and his family.
As soon as this incident came out, everyone was stunned and couldn't digest it in a short time. No one knew that Master Shangshu was hiding such a big secret.
"What?"
When the Queen Mother learned about this, her face changed drastically.
