No matter what Xiao Rui thinks of King Yan in his heart, whether he is a loving boss and elder, or his biological father who has not known each other for many years, his trust in King Yan is leveraged. King Yan said that it was wrapped up in himself, and he believed it. After chatting with King Yan for a while, and having another lunch, he returned to the General Zhuguo Mansion with confidence.

Xiao Mingde was still in the mansion and didn't go out, but he didn't mean to see him. Xiao Rui stood in front of his adoptive father's courtyard for a while, then turned around and left silently. On the way, he met his adoptive brother Xiao Cong, who had not been seen for many days, the other party looked at him, was taken aback, and then smiled awkwardly, wanting to salute, but not sure what to salute, wanting to say hello, and hesitating not knowing what to call him, Xiao Rui looked uncomfortable, and took the initiative to salute: "Brother." Xiao Cong smiled dryly and made a gesture: "Rui...... Ruidi. The two were relatively silent, stood opposite each other for a while, and then turned to leave.

Both of them felt very uncomfortable.

Xiao Rui was already thinking that it seemed that it was time for him to move out. It's just Aunt Li, what should I do? If he decided to recognize his aunt Xiao Mingzhu as his biological mother, he would not be able to take Aunt Li to Yanwang's Mansion in the capital. It's easy to go to Beiping, hire a boat by yourself, send a few people to wait, and Gu Niangzi's family also plans to go north together, just so that they can take care of Aunt Li. But before that, he had to find a safe place to house his aunt.

While thinking, he returned to Aunt Li's courtyard and reported to her the results of his trip to King Yan's Mansion.

Aunt Li seems to be in much better spirits than in the morning, it is said that she took lunch on time, took the medicine obediently, and her face is not so pale. She listened to Xiao Rui's words, and her eyes were red and showed a relieved smile: "I know...... His Royal Highness King Yan understands me! He'll understand what I mean! Since he promised to take care of the matter, then there is no need to worry, he will definitely be able to convince the emperor! ”

After saying this, her expression became a little distorted: "The emperor must be unhappy...... How could he be willing? But so what?! This is what he owes King Yan and the eldest lady! He is irresponsible, and he has always abandoned the eldest lady, so he doesn't allow his serious fiancé to be a long-term infatuated person?! Even if this matter is in front of the Queen Mother, he will not take care of it! I want to see if the Queen Mother knows what he did back then, what reason he has to defend himself! ”

Xiao Rui looked at her expression and was a little worried: "Auntie? Are you alright? I know you've always held a grudge against your aunt and grandmother...... But many years have passed, and the Cao family is afraid that there will be no more scenery for a few days, so let's just wait to see the bleak end of his family. As for the emperor...... No matter what you think in your heart, when it's only our mother and son, it's nothing, but let's try to talk about it as little as possible. Son, don't you want the emperor to know these words one day, and pass down the word again, asking you to kill yourself or something...... You just think it's for your son, don't scare me anymore, right? ”

"Silly boy." Aunt Li touched his face lovingly, "Don't worry, Aunt knows how to measure and won't embarrass you." ”

Xiao Rui sighed: "Why don't you take a nap and recuperate?" His Royal Highness King Yan...... My father will leave Beijing soon, so we will follow him. If your body is still so weak, how can people rest assured? ”

"Good, good." Aunt Li is in a good mood now, there is no comparison with the previous few days, she is willing to listen to what Xiao Rui says, "Listen to you, I'll sleep for a while." Don't stay here, go back to your own yard. You didn't sleep yesterday, did you? Look at the black green under your nose, get a good night's sleep! You haven't packed your luggage in the house yet, have you? Don't delay, take everything you can. She smiled coldly, "We won't be back in the future!" ”

Xiao Rui was a little hesitant, but Aunt Li understood what he was worried about: "Don't think nonsense!" General Xiao owes you more, that is, to take away all the things in your courtyard, and you should deserve it! If you don't bring any of them, the family will feel uneasy and think that you are going to be separated from them. She sneered again, "When you become the prince of Yan Wangfu, the emperor will always find some ties for you in the capital, so as to tie you up, lest you miss Yan Wangfu and not the palace." Just as he thought about the third prince, the second lady was the thread that led the third prince, and the Qiao family behind the fourth prince was the same! The heir of the Yan Wangfu will have an army of hundreds of thousands in his hands in the future, how can he not be interested in the royal family? Xiao Mingde can sacrifice everything for the emperor, and he doesn't care about his siblings, so naturally he can't grudge against you, and it will ruin the emperor's gentle plan for Beiping! ”

Xiao Rui frowned slightly, didn't say much, only smiled and comforted Aunt Li: "Okay, I listen to you." As long as I want to take something with me, I won't leave a single thing behind. I won't mention the superfluous, I know it all in my heart. Auntie, let's rest for a while, and don't worry about anything outside. His Royal Highness King Yan will settle the matter. ”

Aunt Li smiled happily and obediently lay down to sleep. Xiao Rui personally folded the quilt for her, and then quietly exited the room, secretly worried about her aunt's words.

When King Yan went to persuade the emperor, would it really be as smooth as he said?

In fact, King Yan's persuasion of the emperor was indeed not smooth.

Only then did he mention Xiao Rui's new idea, and the emperor vetoed it: "Impossible!" Hugh is going to mess around! Then he gave his brother a deep look, "I remember that time...... You have promised that you will take the initiative to ask the first emperor to withdraw from the marriage, and then when you ask me to marry you and the Yue family, you also said that you are sincere to the Yue family, and you have already had affection......"

King Yan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Imperial brother, since my younger brother made a promise back then, he naturally won't break it. Mingzhu's death was really unexpected by his younger brother. If it weren't for Empress Cao's intervention, after the younger brother returned to the court, he would immediately ask his father to withdraw from the marriage with his military merits, so as to fulfill the emperor's brother and Mingzhu. Originally, the younger brother wanted to use the daughter of a general in Beiping as a shield, and then Mingzhu left his last words and asked his younger brother to help the Yue family, and the younger brother married the Yue family. Affection or something...... Don't hide it from the royal brother, it was just a casual talk at the time. After all, the Yue family is on the side of other royal brothers, so you must not be very happy to see each other in your heart. It's just that...... Yue's family has been married to his younger brother for so many years, and he gave birth to a daughter for his younger brother, and they have always gotten along very well, and they have long been relatives. Now if you ask who is the woman that your brother is most concerned about, then your brother will not have a third answer except for his wife and daughter! ”

The emperor's expression softened a lot: "In that case, then how can you ...... Come up with such a ridiculous idea?! ”

King Yan sighed again: "Don't hide it from the imperial brother, this idea was not thought up by the younger brother, but Chonglinti." The kid didn't know who Mingzhu was at all, but he just wanted to save Yaozhi's life. If the royal brother doesn't want to agree, it's simple. As long as you let Yaozhi go and continue to let Chonglin recognize Yaozhi as his biological mother, they will have no objections. ”

The emperor suddenly frowned, and sneered heavily: "Li Yaozhi? Hum! ”
