Chapter 237: Royal Right and Wrong
Li Yanyushi's mother, Zhou, turned out to be Empress Zhang's personal maid.
Empress Zhang and the emperor had no children for several years, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the ministers.
Some ministers even bluntly asked the emperor to choose a concubine again, so that the Ming Dynasty could have a suitable heir as soon as possible.
This attitude was quickly recognized by the ministers, who expressed their support for the emperor's choice of concubine.
Both the emperor and the empress felt tremendous pressure, and in the end, the emperor couldn't stand it anymore, and he decided to accept the advice of the hundred officials.
The queen has been stimulated like never before, if the new concubine gives birth to the prince smoothly, she will not be able to be the first person in the harem as she did before.
Even if she takes the prince to her side to raise her in the future, the child will be close to his biological mother when he grows up.
In desperation, she came up with an almost absurd plan.
After the queen drunk the emperor, he let him have sex with Zhou, the personal maid next to him.
As she expected, two months later, she found out that Zhou was pregnant.
The queen was overjoyed, and at the same time that Zhou was checked out of pregnancy, she announced a great joy to the ministers.
The queen is pregnant! The Ming Dynasty finally has an heir, and the ministers are silent, waiting for the moment when the child is born!
The queen has already made up her mind, the Zhou family can only be an invisible person in secret, and she will never want to recognize the prince in her life!
It was too late for the emperor to learn about this, and he had to agree with the empress's approach.
The queen has not given birth for so many years, and he can only pin his hopes on Zhou.
Pregnant in October, it was finally time for Zhou to give birth, and the emperor and empress were expecting her to give birth to a boy, so that all problems could be solved.
It's just that to their disappointment, Zhou actually gave birth to a girl.
The queen fell from heaven to hell at once, and her plans were completely ruined.
She was sad and frantically searching for hope to save herself.
The queen knew that it was already a fluke to be able to hide it this time, and next time she was afraid that she would not have such luck!
If you announce to the outside world that she has given birth to only a girl, her status is really in danger!
The ministers won't tolerate her!
A month later, Zhou was sent to the Huanyi Bureau with the baby who had just completed the month.
At the same time, the queen announced that she had given birth to a boy. He is the current crown prince Zhu Houzhao.
More than ten years have passed, and now the emperor actually wants to release the Zhou family out of the palace to reunite their mother and son.
She knew the truth of what happened back then, even if the Zhou family didn't know who the prince's real biological mother was!
"I must stop the emperor from letting her out of the palace!" The Empress is definitely not a person who sits idly by, and she will never leave her fate in the hands of anyone else.
The secrets that the Zhou family knew could only remain in the palace and must not be passed on.
The queen took out the housekeeping skills of a woman, that is, crying, as for the matter of seeking death, she did not have the courage to do it, even if she pretended.
It's just that the methods that have been tried and tested in the past have no effect this time.
The emperor had already made up his mind to release the Zhou family from the palace.
This time, his life was in danger, and the Ming Dynasty almost changed hands, so he was able to turn the danger into a disaster, all of which relied on Li Ling's mediation.
The emperor knew that he was going to marry Li Yanyu, that is, his daughter, and the release of the Zhou family should be regarded as his congratulatory gift!
"You are really good at convincing the emperor to release me! But I still hope you can treat my daughter well, she is so miserable, she has suffered with me for several years, and now she can't even recognize her own father! ”。
She was not very happy when Li Ling came to the Huanyi Bureau to greet the Zhou family, for her, life is the same anywhere. As long as Li Ling can treat his daughter well!
Li Ling specially came to pick up the Zhou family out of the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were usually arrogant hid one by one.
Everyone knows that the queen has always hated the Zhou family, and these people often make trouble for the Zhou family in order to tie up with the queen on weekdays.
It is rumored that Li Ling is a person who can communicate with heaven. He single-handedly saved the Ming Dynasty when the emperor was critically ill.
Now even if the empress or even the emperor wants to give Li Ling three points, how dare these minions do anything that makes him unhappy?
Li Tanhua took Zhou away like this, and the Huanyi Bureau was empty all of a sudden.
The empty courtyard is gradually overgrown with grass, and after many years, I wonder if the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace still remember the Zhou family who once lived here?
Li Ling took Zhou directly into the courtyard where Li Yanyu lived.
When Zhou saw her daughter, she actually cried. I have encountered such a scene in my dreams countless times.
It's just that when she really saw each other, her daughter had grown into a slim girl.
She was a little afraid to admit it, but from her happy smile, Zhou could know that her daughter had a good life in the Li family over the years.
It took a long time for Li Yanyu's gaze to turn away from Li Ling's body.
She didn't believe the facts in front of her, how could her mother, who was supposed to be in the palace, also come to the Li Mansion?
Although she was still young when she left her mother, he vaguely remembered her appearance, especially her hands that were getting rougher.
"Mother". Li Yanyu was a little panicked, she wasn't sure if the other party was really her mother, and she didn't know how to get along with a strange mother.
She turned her gaze again, looking at Li Ling pitifully, she didn't know how to deal with it!
Suddenly, Li Yanyu had a sense of panic.
"Yanyu, she is indeed your mother, I just brought her out of the palace!" Li Lingxiang gave him an encouraging look, he hoped that the two would recognize each other as mother and son.
Li Yanyu felt Li Ling's encouragement, but she still stood in place and didn't move!
"My son!". Zhou suddenly pounced and hugged Li Yanyu and cried loudly.
She knew that the traumatic experience of childhood was very hurtful.
Li Yanyu really doesn't seem to know how to interact with others!
But she really felt Zhou's sadness. Li Yanyu also began to cry bitterly.
When the two stopped crying, Li Ling began to arrange Zhou's residence.
Thankfully, the compound is big enough and has enough vacant rooms.
The Zhou family lived in this compound.
When Li Ling took her to familiarize herself with the environment, she encountered a strange thing.
When she saw a woman washing clothes by the well in the backyard, Zhou suddenly went crazy, and she kept shouting: "She, why is she here?" She is the real biological mother of the crown prince! ”。
At that time, the emperor often visited the Li Mansion, and the Zhou family, who was a maid, was naturally sent out to inquire about the news.
During this period, she also saw this woman a few times, but the emperor was indeed discussing state affairs with Li Gelao, and Zhou sneaked into the Li Mansion for various reasons to listen to the conversation between the two.
Zhou's reply dispelled the queen's suspicions, but when the emperor announced the birth of the crown prince, she thought of Li Gelao's sweet-looking cousin again!
"It turns out that he is the biological mother of the crown prince!". Li Ling couldn't help but glance at this woman a few more times, but he didn't disturb her again!
If Zheng Wang's daughter was here, she would definitely recognize this woman, because she had been a nurse in the Li Mansion for two months in order to live, and what she served was the son born to this woman.
This is the real reason why the emperor threw a mouse, he was afraid that Zheng Wang would still have contact with his daughter, and he was even more afraid that the other party would know about the prince's biological mother.
In the emperor's heart, Zheng Wang is a liar, and there is nothing he can't do.
If the other party exposes the matter, it will be too troublesome!
