It is said that someone from the palace passed on the emperor's message, and when Huaizhen heard it, he was suspenseful and rushed out to check out.

Although Ying Lanfeng returned home to recuperate for two days, he was imprisoned in that prison for several months, and where could he have been able to raise him overnight? At first, he returned home, and after seeing his family, he was very happy, and his spirit was slightly stronger, but the next day he was a little sleepy and weak.

This time he was going to pass him into the palace, although others didn't know what was going on, Huai Zhen was very clear, because he was very worried, and when he saw that people didn't pay attention, he grabbed Ying Lanfeng: "Dad......"

Ying Lanfeng knew that she was worried, so he comforted: "Don't be afraid, just let me out, is it possible to cut off my head immediately? If things change so quickly, and where is the holy decree of the first place, the majesty of the emperor will be gone. ”

When Huaizhen heard this, he was slightly relieved, but he was worried about his body, Ying Lanfeng said again: "Don't get in the way, dad has his own number, you are good and your mother are waiting at home." He smiled at Huaizhen, and when he was dressed, he followed the eunuch into the palace.

Not to mention that Huaizhen was worried in the mansion, but only that after Ying Lanfeng entered the palace, he was led by the eunuch and went to the palace of the emperor.

After a short time, before arriving at the dormitory, Yang Jiugong had already come out in person, and was just about to greet him with a smile, but he saw that Ying Lanfeng's face was clear and haggard, and he was so shaped, as if the official robe could not hold up, fluttering and shaggling, as if he was going to go with the wind......

Yang Jiugong was secretly shocked in his heart, and he didn't laugh for a while, so he hurriedly came over to help him, and said, "How is this the situation of Lord Ying...... Alas, it must have suffered a lot. ”

Ying Lanfeng said: "Thank you for the care of the ninth father-in-law, but I can still support it." ”

Yang Jiugong said with a smile: "That's the case, let's go into the hall with the old slave, the Emperor Taishang just woke up before...... I didn't know about the world before, so I probably didn't hear about it?"

Ying Lanfeng said: "I have vaguely heard of it, but it is not true, but now it is okay?"

Yang Jiugong said in a low voice: "Although I am awake, the Emperor Taishang is this age after all...... Not as good as young people. ”

Soon after speaking, when they arrived inside, the two of them stopped talking, Jiugong stepped forward to pray, Ying Lanfeng knelt on the ground and saluted, for a long time, he could smell the emperor and said: "Get up." ”

Ying Lanfeng was about to get up, but when he knelt and bowed his head, he couldn't help but feel dizzy and his body shook.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiugong hurriedly rushed to help him again, and asked quietly, "Is Lord Ying okay?"

Ying Lanfeng calmed down, there seemed to be some buzzing sound in his ears, and after a while, it slowly subsided, because he said, "Thank you, it's nothing." ”

Only then did Jiu Gong let go of his hand and took a step back to the side, but he didn't stay away, still watching.

At this time, I heard the emperor say: "You come forward and let me take a look at reads();." ”

Ying Lanfeng was expressionless, and slowly walked forward three or five steps before standing still.

The Emperor Taishang over there looked at him, although his eyes were a little old, but after all, he also looked at a rough idea, and saw that he was so thin, and he revealed more and more awe-inspiring bones...... Although he has always been just a civil official, in this way, he feels a little indifferent.

The Emperor Taishang closed his eyes, his heart was sad, and after a while, he trembled as if he was about to get up.

Seeing this, Yang Jiugong couldn't help but step forward again: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor can say, now you can't walk at will, you still need to recuperate." ”

The Emperor Taishang didn't speak, he only grabbed his hand, the Nine Guilds were willing, so he had to try his best to support it, and the Emperor Taishang took advantage of his strength to slowly take a few steps forward, and only stood in front of Ying Lanfeng.

Seeing this, Jiugong knew that he must have some confidential and important words, but it was inconvenient for him to be in front of him, he tried to let go, and when he saw that the emperor was barely standing, Jiugong swallowed his saliva, took a few steps back, and hid his body in the shadow of the pillar.

Sure enough, the Emperor Taishang looked at Ying Lanfeng, spoke in a dumb voice, and asked faintly: "Huaizhen...... But I told you that I didn't ...... What are the old days?"

Ying Lanfeng lowered her eyelids, seemed to be very respectful, and replied quietly: "The Emperor Taishang forgives her sins, Huaizhen is young and ignorant after all, I am afraid that she has heard some rumors from somewhere, so she will take it seriously, the Emperor Taishang did not blame her, this is also the Emperor Taishang is wise and generous, and the ministers have mixed feelings, and they are all kinds of sympathetic to the emperor." ”

Emperor Taishang frowned, looked at him carefully, and was a little shocked: "Why, you don't believe it...... You don't believe her...... Are you Concubine De's flesh and blood?"

Ying Lanfeng's face did not change, and he still said quietly: "The minister's surname is Ying, where is he qualified to be surnamed Zhao?"

The Emperor Taishang's heart was shocked, as if he had been beaten hard, and he almost fell backwards, but he barely stood firm. -- On the contrary, Jiugong pinched a cold sweat on the side.

Here, two people stand facing each other, one lowering their eyes and the other looking closely.

Emperor Taishang looked at Ying Lanfeng for a while, and saw that although he described it as withered, but if he paid attention to it, how could he not see who he was like? Such a demeanor, and a faint pride in his eyebrows............

The Emperor Taishang's heart ached: "Are you ...... Some blame me?"

When Ying Lanfeng heard this, he knelt down and went back: "The minister is frightened, I don't know why the Emperor Taishang said this?"

The Emperor lowered his eyes to look at him, and wanted to tell him to get up, raise his hand and go out, but stopped again, and finally said slowly: "Now, I don't want to hide anything anymore...... She has a bad character, and it was only the day before yesterday that Huaizhen came to me to mention this matter, and I recalled the flaws in it...... It turned out that I had always blamed her...... I'm to blame you, you ......."

Ying Lanfeng only lowered his head and said nothing, in the huge dormitory, only the old and hoarse voice of the Emperor Taishang was alone, as if with helplessness and regret......

The Emperor Taishang listened to his own voice, and then stopped like dust, a little dreamlike, paused, and then said: "You are indeed the flesh and blood of Concubine De, and also the flesh and blood of my dearest...... No wonder I like her so much. It's a pity that I was blinded before...... It almost made a big mistake......"

Ying Lanfeng was still silent, and the Emperor Taishang let out a long sigh and said, "This time Bo Ji passed, I almost couldn't wake up, and I almost ...... Let this matter become my lifelong regret, fortunately, the emperor is sensible, knows my intentions, and released you...... I'm glad you didn't get in the way of reads();. - Now, I have specially summoned you to the palace to ...... Give you justice. ”

When Ying Lanfeng heard this, Fang asked softly, "Justice?"

The Emperor Taishang nodded, his body was weak, he had been talking for a long time, he was a little weak, and he secretly gasped for a while, and then said: "While I am still awake, I will do all the things that I didn't dare to do before, and it should be regarded as to you, Concubine De, and Huaizhen...... compensation. ”

Ying Lanfeng hung his head, and in his eyes that were as calm as ink, there was a light flickering: "Forgive the ministers for being blunt, the ministers don't understand what the emperor means by justice and compensation." ”

The Emperor's throat was bitter, and he said, "I just want to ask you, what do you want in your heart......?" Restore your identity, declare the day, and you feel...... How's that going?"

In fact, this is an extremely difficult decision for the Emperor, after all, after so many years, now that Zhao Yongmu has ascended the throne again, if a prince comes out for no reason, and this prince is a major minister who was wronged before, it will inevitably be an uproar from the government and the opposition.

If it was before, I was afraid that the Emperor Taishang would not have made such a desperate bet, but just because he misunderstood Concubine De for many years, and almost killed Ying Lanfeng and Huaizhen, he felt guilty and wanted to make up for it.

So now he has abdicated...... At such an age, if you hesitate to go, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to do these things again. So I put all those worries behind me.

However, on the other hand, after asking this, the Emperor Taishang had another thought in his heart, that is, ...... I hope Ying Lanfeng doesn't agree.

After all, no matter how guilty he is, the Emperor Taishang is still rational and calm. Although he was a little rigid in temperament before, he always acted with his family and country as the bottom line, and he was a generation of Ming Jun, just imagine now, if Ying Lanfeng really regained his identity, he would naturally have a good uproar...... What's more, he still suspects that there are still some things that make him jealous and even frightened by Ying Lanfeng's side......

Not to mention the Emperor Taishang's heart, he was half sad and half happy, but when he saw Ying Lanfeng silently, the Emperor Taishang asked: "I mention yì, you ...... Can you promise?"

Ying Lanfeng suddenly said: "Actually, what's the difference?"

When the Emperor heard such a clueless sentence, he asked suspiciously, "What?"

Ying Lanfeng hung his head and said slowly: "What is the difference between me as a prince or a concubine of the Ying Mansion? No matter what my identity is, I am a phoenix son and a dragon grandson or an inconspicuous concubine, a poor official or a high-ranking official, a traitor and a thief or a loyal general...... My life and death are just ...... The emperor's words are just that. ”

The Emperor Taishang shook suddenly, and his eyes narrowed to look at Ying Lanfeng.

Ying Lanfeng slowly raised his head, and there was a slight sneer on his lips at the gaze of the Emperor Tai, and said, "I was born in the Ying family, and I was not favored when I urinated, and I was originally ...... I don't want to be the children and grandchildren of my own background, I just have a ...... in my heart I just want to do my best to be a good official, but it wasn't until a few days ago that I realized that I couldn't even fulfill this little wish, and instead of doing it, it would affect my family, who I didn't want to hurt the most. Speaking of this, Ying Lanfeng's eyes couldn't help but show some tears.

Emperor Taishang swallowed his saliva, faintly moved: "Lan Feng ......"

Ying Lanfeng took a deep breath, then said calmly and calmly: "The minister doesn't want to be a prince, and he doesn't want to be a scholar...... The minister had already made up his mind before entering the palace, and the minister asked to resign from the official position, and from then on stay away from the capital, not involved in right and wrong, at least ...... can keep his family safe, this is the greatest wish of the minister in this life, begging the emperor...... Grace is fulfilled. ”

After Ying Lanfeng finished speaking, he raised his hand to take off his official hat, put it aside, leaned over, and kowtowed uprightly.
