Along the way, Yu Yan followed the sedan silently, not daring to look east or west. Everything seemed calm. But the assassins sent by Cao Duo were everywhere, waiting for them to make their move when they arrived. Seeing that the sedan was about to pass by,

The killers were about to take action. At this time, bursts of green light froze them all. Xiaoqing smiled and watched them walk through the dangerous zone safely, and nodded with satisfaction. When they arrived at the palace gate, Gu Zhong took the two of them in smoothly.

, the ministers also went to court one after another. Shilin took Yuyan to Yicuiyuan, and according to Zhu Zhong's instructions, he found the old palace maid. When the palacemaid saw Yuyan, her eyes straightened and she stared at her blankly.

, shouting: "It's so similar, so similar." Yu Yan was a little frightened by her sight and hid behind Shi Lin.

"Yuyan, don't be afraid, it's time for you to know the truth of the matter."

"What's the truth, Uncle Xu? Didn't you say you brought me to find grandma? Where is she?"

"I'm not here to see your grandma, I'm here to see your biological father."

"Dad?" Yuyan was stunned.

"Your biological father is none other than the current Emperor Sejong. You are the princess, the daughter of Queen Rencheng. This maid was the queen's maid, named Xuemei." Shilin's expression turned serious and his tone was solemn.

"Princess!" the old palace maid knelt down.

"What on earth is going on?" Yu Yan took a few steps back.

"Xuemei, tell her."

"Yes. Princess, my mother narrowly escaped death and gave birth to the princess sixteen years ago. At that time, you were still a newborn baby. You were taken away by my maid, Xuewei, to save your life. However, my mother was persecuted and had a difficult delivery.

And death is so miserable. When my slaves see you, they will know that you are the daughter of the empress, because you both have a rouge between your eyebrows, and you look too much like the empress."

"Your mother's surname is Yu and her given name is Qiao Yu. She is the daughter of Yu Jiao, the general of the Zhenguo State. Her nickname is Xiyu. Look at the rain." Shi Lin took out the jade pendant.

"This is what your mother left for you before she was alive, and it was also given to me by your grandma before she left. She is not your real grandma, but Liu who saved you from Xuewei on a rainy night sixteen years ago.

Auntie, she entrusted you to me and asked me to find out your true identity. Maybe you don't believe that your mother once entrusted me with a dream and asked me to restore your integrity." Shilin handed the jade pendant to Yu Yan, and Yu Yan opened his eyes.

Looking at the jade pendant with tears in her eyes, a clear word "rain" came into her eyes.

"Princess, this is indeed the jade pendant of the empress. It was given by the emperor. When she took you away, the empress personally put it into your swaddling clothes. She had no choice but to send you away in order to save your life. I am waiting here.

It's hard work, I can see the princess again today, and I will die with no regrets." Xuemei cried sadly, she suddenly stood up and was about to hit the pillar, but was stopped by Shi Lin.

"Xuemei, what are you doing? You still have a lot of things to do."

"I have been living an ignoble life for so many years. Now that I have met the princess, I feel at ease and want to follow my empress." Xuemei said in pain.

"You are so stupid. We still need you to testify. The princess will still need your care in the future. Do you want to run away?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, we still have to face a very difficult struggle. We must not give up on ourselves now. If the empress is still alive, she will also hope that you live well, do you understand?" Shilin comforted her, and Xuemei nodded.

, and still couldn’t stop crying.

"No, this is not true. You are lying. This is not true." Yu Yan rushed out of the door.

"Yu Yan, your grandfather has been framed and is being escorted to Beijing. Once he arrives, he will be punished and may even be beheaded. The hope of saving him depends on you. If you leave now, not only will you save

If you can't help him, you will also fail your mother's hard work for you." Shilin stopped her.

"Princess, you can't leave. I know that you can't accept it for a while, but this is all true. I don't dare to lie to you. I beg you, please save General Yu. He is your grandfather.

"Xuemei knelt down and pulled Yuyan's clothes.

"Uncle Xu~."

Yuyan called Shilin with tears in her eyes. Shilin looked at her. He knew very well the feeling of being abandoned by others and being forced to separate from his parents. When he knew about his bizarre life experience, he was almost like a thunderbolt.

It was so hard to accept that he couldn't believe it. This cruel reality almost destroyed him. It was like a thousand kilograms of burden falling from the sky, making him breathless. Fortunately, he had the careful care and company of his aunt's family, but in front of him

Although Yuyan has a golden status, she is so lonely and helpless. As soon as she learns the mystery of her life experience, she has to withstand a huge blow and must rescue a "relative" she has never met. This kind of cruelty

Shilin felt extremely distressed for her. He hugged Yuyan and patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her and ease her mood. Yuyan leaned into his arms and cried loudly, pouring out all her sufferings and grievances.

.

"No, no, this is not true. I want to go find grandma, grandma..." Yuyan struggled to break away from Shilin and ran outside the house.

"Yuyan, stop running around and come back quickly." Shilin chased after him.

"Princess...Princess..." Xuemei also chased after her.

At this time, the morning court had ended. During the court meeting, Gu Zhong only talked about past political affairs with a calm expression as usual, which surprised Cao Gan, because he had already prepared a truckload of words to deal with, just waiting to bite Gu Zhong back.

However, Gu Zhong didn't mention anything about General Yu and Yu Yan, leaving him confused for a moment, and all the ministers walked out of the hall one after another.

"Gu Xiangguo, Xiangguo Cao, please stay. The emperor has important matters and summons the two prime ministers to the imperial study for discussion." Eunuch Li came to inform. In fact, Gu Zhong had asked Eunuch Li to make arrangements with the emperor in advance. Gu Zhong and Cao Qian then

Walk towards the imperial study room.

"Gu Xiangguo, do you think what will happen if the emperor comes to see us two?" Cao Gan deliberately probed.

"I don't know, but if there is a chance soon, we still have to plead for General Yu in front of the emperor." Gu Zhong said deliberately.

"That's it, that's it." Cao Gan said perfunctorily. 'This old fox is still pretending, and he will look good on you soon.' Cao Gan thought to himself.

"Yu Yan..., don't run." Yu Yan ran all the way, running wildly without direction. Shilin and Xuemei kept chasing, followed by a few officers and soldiers who didn't understand the situation. Shilin waved to them not to chase.

But they were still chasing after them. Yuyan rushed forward desperately, tears blurring her vision. Unintentionally, she fell heavily to the ground, and the jade pendant she held in her hand also dropped. She slowly

He got up and knelt down and cried bitterly. Shilin and others caught up from behind and suddenly stopped. Yuyan was crying and suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet. She opened her eyes and saw a man in yellow standing in front of him.

The middle-aged man in the robe was looking at himself curiously. He was the current emperor. He picked up the jade pendant on the ground and took a look. He was immediately shocked and walked over slowly.

"Your Majesty, please don't move forward." A guard tried to stop him, but the Emperor raised his hand to interrupt and walked over anyway.

"Is this yours?" He put the jade pendant in front of Yu Yan's eyes.

"..." Yuyan raised her head and nodded, also looking at him.

"Xiyu?" he called softly. The two looked at each other with the same surprised expression.

"How come you have this jade pendant?" the emperor continued to ask. Yu Yan did not answer, but just looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes.

"Girl, the emperor is asking you something." Eunuch Li from behind reminded.

"Your Majesty?" Yu Yan whispered in surprise.

"Tell me, what is your name?"

"Yu... Yan." Yu Yan replied softly.

"Yu Yan?" The emperor thought.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Shilin and the others knelt down and saluted. The emperor ignored them and walked to Yu Yan, looking at her indifferently.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shilin has something important to tell you, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to come to the imperial study to discuss it." Shilin spoke quickly.

"Tell me first, which palace is she from?"

"When I return to the emperor, I am about to report this matter to the emperor. It is of great importance. It will be inconvenient here. I would like to ask the emperor's permission to move to the study."

"Your Majesty, Gu Xiangguo and Cao Xiangguo are also waiting for you in the imperial study." Eunuch Li reminded.

"Go to the imperial study." The emperor walked in front, Xuemei supported Yuyan and followed behind Shilin and others.

Fengxi Palace.

"What? That child appeared? And was rescued by Gu Xiangguo? Wasn't she already...?" Queen Cao Ling was shocked as she listened to her brother's story.

"Yes, we all thought so before, but when dad saw her, he was already sure that she was indeed the baby from sixteen years ago. Now dad and Gu Zhong were summoned by the emperor to the imperial study, and Xu Shilin also entered the palace.

I don’t know what tricks they are trying to play. Dad asked me to tell you that you will refuse to admit what happened back then. They have no evidence at all and they can’t do anything to us."

"Now you are in big trouble. How can I cover up the past for you? Don't think that the emperor doesn't know about the things you and dad have done over the years. He just doesn't care about it for the sake of me and the prince.

, but you are pushing your limits. If this matter is exposed, even the prince and I will be implicated. What do you want me to do?" Cao Ling looked sad and slumped on the phoenix chair.

"Sister, my father and I did what we did back then so that you could ascend to the back seat. You can't ignore our feelings for you."

"For me, is it really all for me? It's not because of your and dad's ambitions, wanting to dominate the country and monopolize power. When have you ever cared about my life and death? It's just because of my status as queen, outside.

You have done everything you can to call the wind and rain, be domineering, and have done so many unscrupulous things. Have you ever thought about me and the prince? If you had not insisted on doing this back then, my sister Yu Fei would not have died. I am pregnant with the prince, so I can still be the queen." Cao Ling cried.

Tears, said angrily.

"At that time, you two gave birth at the same time. Who knew you were pregnant with the prince? If she gave birth to the prince, you would never have a chance. Now you are blaming me and dad for being cruel. Okay, let me and dad surrender to the emperor.

, wait for your fate." Cao Duo pretended to rush out of the door.

"Brother, you and dad are both my relatives, how could I just watch you die." Cao Ling grabbed him.

"So we have to work together to get through this difficulty. Dad said that as long as we fight to the death, no one can do anything to us." After hearing this, Cao Ling fell to the ground weakly.

Royal study room.

"Xu Shilin, please tell me who this girl is?" the emperor asked directly.

"If you want to return to the emperor, before I speak, please boldly ask the emperor for orders to spare General Yu's life." After speaking, Shilin kowtowed.

"General Yu, do I have anything to do with this girl? I just want to know why this girl has the jade pendant given by the emperor. Please tell me the truth."

"Go back to the emperor, because she is the grandson of General Yu, the daughter of Empress Rencheng, and the emperor's golden branch." Shilin said loudly, shocking everyone else present, and the emperor was even more shocked and speechless.

"What? What are you talking about? Didn't Queen Rencheng's child die when she was born? How could it be...?" The emperor was very surprised when he heard this.

"Back then, Queen Rencheng was about to give birth. She drank a bowl of birth-inducing medicine and died of dystocia. The princess she gave birth to was taken away by her personal maid Xuewei on the spot. She escaped from the palace overnight and fled to Cuifeng Mountain.
