"What if he is indeed of the blood of the Emperor?"

The people at the entrance of the temple looked behind them, and for a moment there was silence, and even the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard.

Rong Qing stood outside the hall, followed by Yuan Mo and an elderly man.

Yao Lie looked shocked, and Yao Yi looked dazed.

Yao Lie was shocked that Rong Qing had actually entered the city, and it seemed that someone in the city defense camp had betrayed him.

"What did you say?" Feng Nianyan asked with an incredulous expression.

Rong Qing walked into the hall, and the courtiers at the gate of the hall all retreated one after another, making way for him.

"Yao Yi is indeed the bloodline of the first emperor of the Yue Kingdom." He repeated it again indifferently.

"I'm afraid it's not my turn to interfere in the matter of crossing the country!" Yao Lie squinted at him and said in a cold and grim tone.

Rong Qing didn't answer, only turned his head slightly to look at the old man behind him.

The old ministers and Yao Lie Yaoyi who were present had all seen this old man, and he was Qin Ceyang, the personal eunuch chief beside the former emperor of the Yue Kingdom.

Qin Ceyang followed the emperor when he was young, and he was a few years older than the emperor. When the emperor died, he could have left the palace to enjoy his old age, but he invited himself to the emperor's tomb to guard.

The Empress Dowager remembered his loyalty, so she allowed him to live in the Imperial Mausoleum Courtyard.

"The old slave has seen His Royal Highness King Yongyi, and he has seen the emperor." Qin Ceyang knelt on the ground and kowtowed tremblingly.

"Gonggong Qin is afraid that he is old and confused, King Yongyi is already the emperor!" Naturally, there were also supporters of Yao Lie among the officials.

Qin Ceyang still knelt on the ground, got up slightly and said backwards: "King Yongyi is King Yongyi, and the emperor will only be the eldest prince of the previous emperor, Yaoyi." ”

"Father-in-law Qin, what do you mean by this?" Feng Nianyan was a little anxious, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Rong Qing's gourd, and what Qin Ceyang meant by what he said.

Qin Ceyang took out a white cloth bag from his arms, and uncovered the white cloth with his hands without trembling, and there was an envelope sealed with wax lying in the white cloth.

Yuanmo stepped forward to help him up, he held the white cloth in both hands and presented the envelope to Yao Yi, Yao Yi looked at him puzzled.

"Please open the envelope and you will know the truth." Qin Ceyang raised his head and looked at Yao Yi, his face full of vicissitudes but resolute.

Yao Yi picked up the envelope and opened it, took out the stationery in the envelope and opened it, only after a while, the expression on his face began to be solemn, unbelievable, and unacceptable.

Seeing this, Yao Lie immediately walked up to him and snatched the letter to look at it, and was immediately stunned.

"As stated in the emperor's secret edict, the emperor's biological mother is not Cao's, but Yu Yue'e, a noble person who died in childbirth." Qin Ceyang's expression stretched slightly, and he respectfully turned sideways and said slowly to the people in the hall and at the entrance of the hall.

The Empress Dowager Cao is the daughter of Cao Taishi, and Cao Taishi is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, who has considerable influence in the court and many henchmen. If the emperor debunked this matter, it would definitely cause turmoil in the imperial court.

Yu Yue'e gave birth a few days before the Empress Dowager Cao's birth, and died of blood after giving birth to a prince. The first emperor ordered people to deliver the midwife, and even the palace maids and medical officials present were all killed, and it was announced to the public that Yu's dystocia and both mother and child died.

On the day of the Empress Dowager Cao's birth, a baby girl was born, and the mother who delivered the baby was replaced with the baby born by the Empress Dowager Cao according to the emperor's will. The Empress Dowager Cao always thought that what she was left with was a boy, the son of her and Cao Fengrong. In fact, the baby girl she gave birth to had already been secretly sent out of the palace and thrown in a mass grave, and now I am afraid that even the bones have turned to ashes.

After the death of Taishi Cao, the emperor wanted to kill the Cao family and the Empress Dowager of the Cao family. However, after a drunken time, the Empress Dowager of the Cao family became pregnant with His Royal Highness the current King Yongyi, and the first emperor took care of his heirs and only suppressed the Cao family. It is passed on to Yao Yi, and it is precisely because half of the blood on Yao Lie's body is Cao's, even if the first emperor loves him again, he will definitely not wear the throne to him.

After Qin Ceyang finished speaking, everyone present gasped.

The secret edict in Yao Lie's hand fell to the ground, he could barely stand on his feet, and staggered back a few steps and said, "Impossible... It won't..."

No wonder he was favored by his father since he was a child, and he was better than Yao Yi everywhere, but in the end, his father passed the throne to Yao Yi. He thought it was because the Empress Dowager Cao worked hard to obtain the throne for Yao Yi, but when he came, he realized that he could not succeed to the throne because of the Empress Dowager Cao.

Yao Yi is not a wild seed, but he was born of a slut. He hated Yao Yi for many years, and now he realized that what he should hate the most is himself, and he hated himself because he was born by the Cao family.

"Isn't this secret edict forged by Gongzi Rong and Gonggong Qin?" A question was heard from the crowd.

"The old slave has followed the first emperor for decades, no relatives, no reason, no children, no daughters, not to mention whether the old slave is loyal or not, they are all people lying in the coffin, is it possible that the son of Rong will buy me with his life? And the secret edict is written by the emperor himself, and you are knowledgeable and talented, so you can come forward to verify it. ”

Qin Ceyang was loyal or disloyal, and the old ministers present naturally knew that only those who were promoted later, or those who supported Yao Lie, would say this.

Feng Nianyan stood in place with a confused face, this plot was as tortuous and bizarre as the twists and turns told in the teahouse, which made him, an old man, a little unacceptable.

Changxin Hou was very indifferent, and the expression on his face after learning the truth was much calmer, thinking that this old man Feng would not feel sorry for the first emperor.

At this time, there was silence at the border of Vietnam. There were bursts of crickets in the mountains and forests, and occasionally one or two crows.

General Tianqi is waiting for General Yue Guo to make a move, General Yue Guo is also waiting for General Tianqi to make a move, and General Chen Guo is drinking tea in the tent, very leisurely.

Word has spread in the city of Kyoto, and the people in the city are talking about it.

"Ginger is still old and spicy!"

"What's this? If the emperor didn't have this ability, I would have to change my surname. ”

"What about changing your surname? If the emperor's surname is really Cao, then I also support it! At least we don't have to tighten our belts and pay taxes every month! ”

"Be quiet, beware of being heard!"

"Afraid of what? King Yongyi has now fallen, are you still afraid that he will not be able to retaliate? ”

A group of officers and soldiers walked by at the corner of the street, and the two people who spoke were silent, and they both closed their mouths and went about their own work.

On the second day, Yongyi Wang Yaolie was imprisoned, and the officials who had previously supported Yaolie in the DPRK were not disposed of, and they still pretended that nothing had happened to them and went to the court as usual.

After Empress Dowager Cao, who was under house arrest in the dormitory, learned that Yao Yi was not born to her, she sat in the palace all night.

The door of the temple was pushed open with a "creak", and she raised her head to look at the door, where Yao Yi was standing.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Yao Yi never thought that the queen mother, who felt sorry for him in the past, was not his biological mother. But the mother-son relationship in the past is not something that can be forgotten after all, he still remembers that when he was sick when he was a child, Cao's sleepless guard over him all night, no matter when he opened his eyes, he looked at her tired, anxious and concerned eyes, and the concern in his eyes was real.

"The Queen Mother—" he shouted softly, his voice a little choked.

"You're not my child." Cao's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was calm without any emotion.

Yao Yi walked up to her and sat down, he knew that if she knew that he was not his biological son from the beginning, she would definitely not be so good to him. Maybe he couldn't have survived at all, just like she could even kill Yao Lie.

"Are you here to kill the mourners?" Cao Shi turned his head to look at him and asked.

Yao Yi shook his head.

The Cao family is ruthless, but he is not like her at all, he is about to follow his biological mother Yu, Qin Ceyang said that she is very kind.

"Your brother..."Cao's eyes were filled with guilt, and he choked up and said, "He is innocent." ”

"I know."

He is pitiful, and so is Yaolie. Although the two of them are not the same mother, they still have a common father. His father, the emperor, endured the tryst between Cao and his cousin for the sake of Yaolie, and it was also because he thought of Yaolie that he did not want to see their brothers kill each other.

The two didn't speak again, and after a while, Yao Yi got up and walked out of the temple gate, which was closed by the guards again.
