Chapter 154 Everything else is real

Chen Yunjing held Su Wanwan's hand, straightened his back, and responded to the emperor calmly, "Yes."

Concubine Shu suddenly stood up, strode to Su Wanwan's side, took her other hand, and looked straight at her with her eyes and asked, "Are you Murong Feng's daughter?"

Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently and said, "Yes."

The emperor, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when he saw this scene.

However, Concubine Shu just held Su Wanwan's hand tightly, and for a moment, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Seeing the atmosphere in the room becoming a little subtle, Concubine Shu finally breathed a long sigh of relief. She nodded to Su Wanwan and said, "Okay, this is also good."

Su Wanwan looked at her with some confusion. Before she could figure out what the word "good" she said meant, she saw her walking to the emperor and blessed her body and said: "Emperor, Jing'er, no matter what, is also my only son. He has been sent out of the palace since he was a child and has been away from me for many years. I don't expect any great prospects in the future. I just wish him happiness and peace."

After she said this, she raised her head and looked at the emperor, and said firmly to the emperor: "I dare to ask the emperor to be able to approve the marriage between Jing'er and Wan'er."

"Don't you object?" After hearing Concubine Shu's request, the emperor was stunned. He looked at Concubine Shu with an incredible expression and asked subconsciously.

When Concubine Shu gave birth to Chen Yunjing, she had premature birth. Chen Yunjing came to this world before she was full term.

The imperial physician said that it was because of the premature birth caused by excessive worries during pregnancy, but there were rumors in the palace that the child was actually pregnant with another man before Shufei entered the palace.

At first, he didn't believe it, but after sending someone to Mo Kingdom to investigate, he found out that Shufei had already fallen in love with others and had a marriage contract before coming to Ye Kingdom to marry.

Gradually, he began to doubt whether Chen Yunjing was his son. Seeing that he grew less and less like him, he simply sent Chen Yunjing to Chen Xiang's mansion and asked Chen Xiang to raise him. On the one hand, he always looked a little disgusted, and on the other hand, he also wanted to hold Chen Xiang.

However, when Chen Yunjing said that he was going to marry Murong Feng's daughter, Concubine Shu didn't object.

What does this mean?

This shows that Chen Yunjing cannot be Murong Feng’s son at all!

Otherwise, wouldn’t he be the half-sibling of Murong Wan? If this is the case, how could Concubine Shu agree to their marriage?

As the emperor thought about it, he felt that a mountain that had been pressing on his heart over the years seemed to have been lifted up all of a sudden.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He nodded and said to Concubine Shu: "Okay! Since Concubine Shu has no objection, then I will agree to the marriage between them."

Shufei was disbelief when she listened to the emperor's words. She originally thought that the emperor would not agree so easily. After all, over the years, he had simply regarded Murong Feng as a thorn in his eyes. He arranged some troops to harass the border of Mo Kingdom, forcing Mo Kingdom to send Murong Feng to the border to lead troops to fight.

In addition, Murong Feng had a hatred for Yeguo. Every time he faced Yeguo's soldiers, he was completely merciless. Almost every time he killed Yeguo without leaving any armor. After repeated attempts, the emperor hated Murong Feng to the core.

Therefore, after a few seconds, Concubine Shu quickly reached out and pulled Chen Yunjing's sleeve and said, "Why don't you thank me now?"

Chen Yunjing came to his senses and pulled Su Wanwan's arm to salute the emperor and said, "Thank you, the emperor."

"What's your name?" The emperor looked at Chen Yunjing with a smile on his face and said, "I'm calling him Father."

Chen Yunjing:???

He raised his head and looked at the emperor with confusion in his eyes. Since he had any memory, he seemed to have never called the emperor the word "Father".

What's going on with this sudden family affection now?

Perhaps because he noticed that he had a little distorted, the emperor coughed twice awkwardly, then picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he put it down calmly and said, "Jing'er, you have been wronged in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, but the father has you in his heart, just for the country and for the court, as my prince, you always have to make sacrifices."

"As a royal family, you often have no choice but to do so, but there is no way. Who makes us care about the world? In the midst of choice, we can only choose to give up the small family and become the whole family. You may not be able to understand these words when you were young at the beginning, and you may not be able to understand them even if I said them. Now you have grown up and reached the age of getting married. If I don't say it, it will be too late. Can you understand my hard work?"

Chen Yunjing: “…”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Shufei: "..."

"Forget it, as the king of a country, I am a lonely man. I don't ask everyone to understand me, but I really hope that you don't misunderstand me. I always have you as my son in my heart." The emperor saw that the atmosphere in the room was awkward, so he could only sigh and said earnestly to Chen Yunjing.

His voice paused, and then said to everyone: "I have some things to deal with. I will leave Jing'er's marriage to the fullest. If you have any problems, I will send someone to me. Okay, I will not delay you and my mother reminisce about the past, so I will leave first."

After he said this, he held the Buddhist beads in his hand, took steps, and walked out of the house.

Concubine Shu hurriedly said to him, "I respectfully send you to the emperor."

Chen Yunjing and Su Wanwan also bowed at the same time and said, "Greatly send me the emperor."

After finally waiting for the emperor's figure to disappear outside the yard, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

A faint layer of sadness appeared again on Concubine Shu's bright cheeks. She turned her head and stared at Chen Yunjing with her water-like eyes for a while, then suddenly spoke, letting everyone else in the room go down.

After all the palace maids and eunuchs went out, Concubine Shu walked to Chen Yunjing, stretched out her hand, gently held his hand and said, "Jing'er, although you have been away from me since childhood, your mother has always been paying attention to you."

"It's just that over the years, you, my mother and I have never met each other. When we meet, we can't help but feel distant. We don't know how to say a lot of concern for a while."

Chen Yunjing's heart gradually became warmer when he listened to Concubine Shu's words.

"Hey..." Concubine Shu sighed again and looked at Su Wanwan and said, "When my mother was young, she once liked someone very much, but unfortunately she was not together in the end, so I hope that you two can be together happily."

"No matter what happens, no matter what happens in the future, as long as you can be together happily, it will be considered a wish of your mother."

Su Wanwan looked at the mist in Shufei's eyes and suddenly spoke to her and asked, "The person Empress Shufei likes, is my father?"

Concubine Shu was slightly stunned, subconsciously shook her head and said, "No, don't talk nonsense."

"But, I have seen a portrait of Concubine Shu in my father's study." Su Wanwan wanted to bring the topic to Murong Feng, so she had to take the risk and speak directly: "My father once said that he has someone he likes."

"There are many people who look similar in this world." Concubine Shu said to Su Wanwan meaningfully: "My father and I are just acquaintances in the old days. I know that he is living a good life now and have descendants. To me, it is just hearing about old friends."

"But...what if I wasn't Murong Feng's daughter?" Su Wanwan blinked her big black and white eyes and looked straight at Concubine Shu and said.

Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Su Wanwan and Shen Yunjing with a pair of water-like eyes. She said in a hesitant voice: "What do you mean by saying this...?"

"Actually, I am not Murong Feng's daughter. Murong Feng has not been married for so many years. He has not saved any girl, nor has he been drunk with other girls. You have always been the only one in his heart." Su Wanwan sighed long and said to Concubine Shu: "Actually, I shouldn't have said this now, but... this palace is so difficult to enter. If I don't say it today, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it in the future."

As Su Wanwan said, Concubine Shu's feet softened and kept falling on the stool and said, "You...you said you are not Murong Feng's daughter? Then you and Jing'er..."

She turned her gaze to Shen Yunjing in disbelief.

Shen Yunjing was slightly stunned, looked at his mother, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, mom, only Wanwan's life experience is fake, everything else is real."

"Oh..." Concubine Shu breathed a long sigh of relief.

After staring at Su Wanwan for a long time, she finally said bitterly: "Old friends have parted, this is eighteen years..."

"Eighteen years, I have married into another woman, and I know that it is impossible for him and me to be. The only wish in my heart is that he can find his own happiness and not be alone again."

"So when I heard that you were Murong Feng's daughter, I couldn't express my happiness. I was afraid that he would die alone in the end, and there was not even a person around me who could take care of him."

"But I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

As Shufei said, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at Su Wanwan with tears in her beautiful eyes and said, "What do you mean... after so many years, is he still alone?"

"This..." Su Wanwan turned to look at Shen Yunjing hesitantly.

Although I don't want to answer, it seems that it is.

"After all, I'm sorry for him." As Concubine Shu said, tears flowed down and said, "But... I carry the fate of my family and country. I have thought of running away countless times on the way to get married, but if I run away, the war between the two countries will start again, and he will go to the battlefield in the end..."
