Xiao Rui comforted Aunt Li, who was tired of crying, watched her eat rice porridge, drank the medicine, and fell asleep, so she left the two maids to wait, and walked out of her biological mother's room.

To be able to get Aunt Li's support, he was also secretly relieved.

Originally, he only had a certain degree of confidence in persuading King Yan, but he did not know the emperor's temperament and thoughts. But since Aunt Li said that she could let King Yan persuade the emperor, and believed that there was a great possibility of success, he had the bottom in his heart.

With this unclear outcome, which was likely to anger the emperor, Xiao Rui decided to take the blame on himself and not let anyone know what role Xie Mulin had played in it, lest she be angered by anyone.

Although he knew that he was the only son of King Yan and the only heir of King Yan at the moment, so it was quite useful to speak in front of King Yan, but he was not sure that the emperor would look at him differently because he was the only nephew. After his life experience was exposed, he hadn't seen the emperor yet, and he didn't know what the latter's attitude was towards him. But...... If King Yan has no son, one of the emperor's sons will inherit the Yan Palace, and in the future will be in charge of the northern military power, no matter which prince the emperor likes, his own son is always closer than his brother's son - even now, he only promised to let Xiao Rui return to the identity of the prince of Yan Wangfu, and did not mention the ownership of the prince's position. Xiao Rui didn't dare to take it big, he felt that he could really control the overall situation!

Xiao Rui slept in the wing room of Aunt Li's courtyard, but he didn't sleep well. He had been thinking about how to talk to King Yan almost all night, until the sky turned white, and then he fell asleep, and as soon as the sun rose, he woke up again.

After hurriedly freshening up, he rushed to see Aunt Li again. Aunt Li cried a lot last night, and at this time she was still a little listless, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard, but compared with before, the silent and calm dead air seemed to have dissipated most of it, and she seemed to be a little more angry.

She ate a big bowl of porridge, and persuaded Xiao Rui to eat more, and reminded her son: "Pick a moon-white robe and put it on, and tidy yourself up." When the eldest lady was young, she loved to wear moon-white clothes, and His Royal Highness King Yan liked to see her dress like that, and I made a straight jacket for him with the same material, but it didn't look like a gentle scholar. "Since he was young, King Yan has been a general with a heroic temperament!

Xiao Rui only thought that Aunt Li wanted to use the color of her clothes to arouse King Yan's memory of the deceased Xiao Mingzhu, so that King Yan would soften his heart and agree to his request, so he obediently agreed. After breakfast, he went back to his yard, changed into a light blue robe, looked at the dressing mirror a few times, and felt that he had really changed a lot in the years he had gone to the north to guard the border. At least, when he was a teenager, he could still dress up as a scholar and sneak into the gathering of scholars to write poems and essays, which would not arouse suspicion; But now, even if he dresses up again, the fierce courage that has been polished in the frontier cannot hide the past. If King Yan saw him like this, he would definitely think of when he was young, right?

Xiao Rui walked out of the general's mansion through the side door in a low-key manner, and did not ask his father or grandmother before going out as before-he didn't know how to face Xiao Mingde, and Lu's attitude towards him became strange, his sisters stared at him with suspicion, and his subordinates always watched him whisper from afar. General Zhuguo's Mansion is no longer a home where he can stay with peace of mind, maybe he should really leave - with his biological mother, Aunt Li!

When King Yan saw him come to the door, he was quite surprised, and immediately ordered someone to lead him to him, but when he saw his dress, he was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

Xiao Rui estimated that he must have remembered Xiao Mingzhu and his past, and he didn't disturb his thoughts, just quietly completed the procedure of saluting, and then stepped aside, bowed his head slightly, and waited for King Yan to return to his senses.

Before he stood still, King Yan came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "You kid, why are you wearing clothes of this color?" I've never seen you dressed like this, but you look much more gentle than usual. As soon as I saw you, I remembered your mother's ...... in the past," and when he said this, he suddenly paused and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's just that it was all from many years ago, and it's not interesting to talk too much." Why did you come to me all of a sudden? I heard about you...... You have been staying by your aunt's side and dare not leave lightly? I don't agree with what she's doing, but she's going to die...... It's for your sake, too. She wants her own loyalty, but I have no position to stop her. However, knowing how sad you are, presumably she won't be easily confused, right? ”

Xiao Rui thought that King Yan remembered the straight shirt that Aunt Li had made for him in the past, and secretly sighed that his aunt really had no last resort, and bowed his head and said, "Your Highness doesn't want your aunt to kill herself?" But why don't you persuade her? It is said that a husband and wife are 100 days overnight, and my aunt chose to do stupid things for you and her son. You should persuade her, right? ”

King Yan smiled bitterly: "If I persuade her and she is willing to listen, she will not refuse to go to Beiping with me back then...... In her eyes, there is no more important person or thing than Xiao Mingzhu. She insisted on taking you to stay in Beiping, just to avenge Xiao Mingzhu, and to watch Xiao Mingzhu's enemy die without a place to be buried! Xiao Mingde was originally the head of her family, but because he didn't take any revenge on the Cao family and concealed your identity, Yaozhi also hated him. I can't understand what she thinks, but I can only respect it. If you want her to survive, but you have to watch you be questioned by the clan and courtiers because of your background, she is afraid that it will be more uncomfortable than death! ”

King Yan sighed and looked at Xiao Rui: "If you really want to save her life, then the only one who can convince her is your son." Just persuade her more and beg her more. If you don't mind, you can cry a few times. She can't stand to see you sad. ”

Xiao Rui only felt that his biological father's suggestion was indescribable, and decided to get to the point: "I have already persuaded her once last night, and I also came up with a bad idea, just to let her get out of the current predicament." Although she cried bitterly for a long time, she also agreed to my request. It's just this thing...... You and the emperor need to agree. I'm not sure what the emperor thinks, so I can only ask for your instructions first. ”

King Yan said a little sadly: "You already know that I am your father now, so you don't have to be so polite to me when you speak. Clearing his throat, "What idea did you come up with?" ”

Xiao Rui slightly modified Xie Mulin's plan, added the details suggested by Aunt Li, and told King Yan one by one, and then said: "Although this is done, it seems that it will damage the reputation of the eldest aunt and grandmother. But how many people in the world still know her name? The gossip has long been a stigma for her. If you use this method, you can save it. At least...... She and her children can get the incense offerings they deserve, instead of just my aunt and me worshipping every year, and even the people in the general's mansion are ashamed to mention her. ”
