Xie Mulin's inspiration exploded, and he immediately picked up the brush and wrote a heart-wrenching love story.

It is said that King Yan and Xiao Mingzhu, the eldest lady of the Zhuguo General's Mansion, were childhood sweethearts and made a marriage contract, and the relationship between the two parties was sincere. After Xiao Mingzhu spread the news of his birth illness, King Yan saw that the fighting on the front line had stopped and there was no major problem, so he quietly and secretly rushed back to the capital to visit his fiancée. Then a pair of lovers between you and me, I can't help it, and there is a romantic and sweet night. Xiao Mingzhu's illness was fine, and King Yan returned to the border the next day, continued to deal with the aftermath of the war, and made a vow before leaving that he would rush back as soon as possible to marry his fiancée.

However, Miss Xiao Mingzhu unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant, although she and Yan Wang are a legitimate unmarried couple, but having a child out of wedlock, in the end, it will still be criticized for the ugly thing, of course, dare not speak out. But this is the firstborn son of her and King Yan, how can she bear to abandon it? Thinking that King Yan promised to rush back as soon as possible, and if the two would get married after returning to Beijing, they should be able to get through the confusion, so Xiao Mingzhu took his personal maid Li Yaozhi to another hospital on the outskirts of Beijing, under the pretext of recuperation, but in fact, he raised the fetus.

Unfortunately, King Yan was in a standoff with the remnants of the enemy army at the border, and he was unable to get out and return to Beijing. Xiao Mingzhu couldn't marry him in time, so that the fetus in her womb could be born as the eldest son of Yan Wangyan, but she still did not give up the heir of her beloved fiancé and struggled to support herself alone in Beijing. And she missed her fiancé Yan Wang who killed the enemy at the border every day, and she became thinner and weaker, and finally gave birth ahead of schedule when she was seven months pregnant.

At this time, King Yan had successfully destroyed the enemy army, and received the will of the emperor to return to Beijing to receive a reward. He hurried to return to his beloved woman as soon as possible and accompany her to welcome the birth of his firstborn son.

However, when he rushed to the other hospital where Xiao Mingzhu was recuperating, although she had just successfully given birth to a son, she was already dying due to excessive blood loss. A couple of lovers hugged their heads and cried, Xiao Mingzhu left her last words, including hoping that King Yan could save her best friend's family, and letting Li Yaozhi be responsible for raising the child, but she was unwilling to hand over the child to King Yan. Because the child's biological mother died before she could complete her marriage with King Yan, in order not to affect the Xiao family's reputation, she couldn't let the world know that she was the child's biological mother, and he might only be able to stand in the world as an ominous mother in the future. She was worried that the future Princess Yan would despise and snub this motherless child, and instead of putting him in danger, it would be better for him to grow up safely as an ordinary person.

The elder brother, General Xiao Mingde, who arrived later, made a vow to help his sister raise his nephew, and promised to treat him as a parent. The personal maid Li Yaozhi took the initiative to come forward and was willing to pretend to be Xiao Mingde's concubine and become the child's biological mother and take care of him for the rest of his life. King Yan, who felt guilty about his fiancée and children, tearfully agreed to his fiancée's request before his death, finished her funeral painfully, and said goodbye to his children sadly.

But he has never forgotten this kinship, and has kept in contact with Xiao Mingde and Li Yaozhi for many years, and often takes the other party to Yanwang's Mansion to meet when the child goes to the north to serve as a martial artist. In order to ensure that his princess would not be unfavorable to the child, he also married his best friend who his beloved told him to help. He had always kept his oath to Xiao Mingzhu, kept his son's life experience tight-lipped, and never revealed it to anyone. However, he has no heirs for a long time, no one can inherit the Yan Palace, and the emperor has already intended to succeed a prince. King Yan obviously has a son, why should he step someone else's son? After all, the heart of the beloved son prevailed, and he went to the capital, told the truth to the emperor, and was determined to restore his status as his only son, so that the woman he loved the most in his life would be the son he gave birth to, and become his heir.

After writing it, Xie Mulin read the whole story from beginning to end, and revised a few more details, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his logic was smooth and the plot was complete. If she hadn't clearly known that Xiao Rui was actually born to King Yan and Li Yaozhi, she would almost believe that this story was the truth.

Because, if General Xiao Mingde is actually Xiao Rui's own uncle, rather than an outsider who is not related by blood, it can perfectly explain why he cares about Xiao Rui on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has restrained Xiao Rui for many years, so that he has suffered from the difficulties and mistreatment of his mother and brother, Xiao Guifei and the third prince in the palace. It's not that he doesn't care for Xiao Rui, he just thinks that Xiao Rui is more suitable to maintain the identity of an ordinary official eunuch's son.

At least, with the status of an uncle, even if General Xiao Mingde wronged a prince of the prince's mansion, it sounds more qualified and more reasonable. Otherwise, Xiao Mingde, a foreign minister, even if he is valued by the emperor, why should he interfere in the affairs of the royal family's heirs?

And Li Yaozhi acts as Xiao Rui's "adoptive mother" as a loyal maid, and her merits outweigh her faults, whether she has married someone or whether she is a concubine or not, it doesn't matter. The royal family doesn't need to arrange for her to be a concubine for King Yan or something, it's a big deal to reward more things. As for whether she will stay in the Zhuguo General's Mansion in the future and continue to be an aunt, or go somewhere else to choose another mansion to live, it all depends on her own thoughts.

The more Xie Mulin thought about it, the more he felt that his arrangement could not be more perfect. Presumably Xiao Rui is more willing to let his biological mother live, and he doesn't care if he can openly recognize Aunt Li as his mother, right? If he wants to take Aunt Li to live in Beiping, as long as General Xiao nods, it will not be a problem.

The question is whether the two noble men are willing to accept this plan?

Is King Yan willing to make public the fact that he left the front line without authorization and returned to the capital to meet his fiancée privately when the war had not completely stopped? It does sound irresponsible, but after all these years, it has not led to any serious consequences, and he has been in a strong military position for many years, and there must be no one who will attack him without a long time. As long as the emperor doesn't pursue it, he will be fined or something, and he should be able to prevaricate, right?

If he has the heart, it is okay to posthumously crown Xiao Mingzhu as the concubine of King Yan. The current Yan princess Yue may be a little upset, but considering that Xiao Mingzhu's last words saved her family, she must not be too angry?

However, the emperor had some trouble on his side, because according to this plan, he had to recognize his woman as his brother's daughter-in-law and his brother's son as his biological mother, which sounded as if he was being greened by his brother. However, considering that Xiao Mingzhu was originally the fiancée of King Yan, and it was the emperor's own brother who made such a big trouble, it seems that he also has the responsibility to make such a good future, at least he can't let his own brother who has suffered a big loss continue to suffer, and he can't even recognize his own son, and he has to give his son both hands of the family business!
