The three people gathered together, with expressions on their faces that alternated between crying and laughing, which frightened the imperial physician standing aside half to death. To be honest, he wasn't curious about the truth at all. He just wanted to get out of here quickly.

But the emperor seemed to have forgotten him and continued to talk to Wen Yidi about what happened that year. Although Wen Yidi was prepared, he was still surprised.

Although the emperor's words were tactful, Wen Yidi still understood the meaning. I remember that his parents kindly took Li Yunfeng out of the cold palace and raised him in the eldest princess's mansion.

But who knew that Li Yunfeng's arrival would become a nightmare for their family. His father Pei Yi was directly killed by the assassin who came to kill Li Yunfeng. As a young man, he was also left halfway by Li Yunfeng.

If the Wen family's adoptive mother's brother hadn't suddenly thought of exchanging him with the soon-to-be-dead "Wen Yidi", he would have been killed by the assassin's sword long ago.

Originally, Wen Yidi did not want to kill Li Yunfeng for the sake of the eldest princess. Although he did something excessive to himself, it was not fatal. Over the years, he has been by the eldest princess's side on his behalf, which just balances the merits and demerits.

But at this time, after learning that the culprit who separated their family's life and death was Li Yunfeng, Wen Yidi no longer had any compassion for him.

The emperor did not hide it for Li Yunfeng, but told him the truth of the year, which also made Wen Yidi indirectly aware of the emperor's true attitude. Thinking of this, Wen Yidi was ready to speak and tell the emperor about Li Yunfeng sneaking out from Prince Jin's Mansion to find Li Yunli.

But before he could say anything, a voice came from outside the hall:

"The eldest princess has arrived!"

Li Jiayi rushed back in a hurry, with a smile on his face. She just asked for a lottery in the temple, and the master in the temple said that good things will happen to her recently.

As soon as he entered the palace, Li Jiayi saw Wen Yidi standing between the emperor's brother and his mother. Suddenly, she had a bold guess in her mind.

"You all please step aside, I have something to say with the eldest princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial doctor rushed out at a trot. He has heard too much that he shouldn't have heard today, and if he continues like this, his life will be in danger.

"Jiayi, I learned something today. I have just confirmed it and can tell you. No matter what you hear next, stay calm. The imperial doctor said that great joy and great sorrow are not good for your health. .”

Upon hearing this, Li Jiayi's expression became heavy. The Queen Mother sighed softly and said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, please let me tell Jiayi about this."

Even though the Queen Mother softened her tone and expressed what happened that year in as gentle words as possible, Li Jiayi was still crying and out of breath.

Seeing her crying like this, Wen Yidi quickly took out the handkerchief from his arms, handed it to her, and whispered:

"Mom, please wipe it."

Li Jiayi took the handkerchief, obviously not yet responding to Wen Yidi's words. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then suddenly raised her head and asked tremblingly:

"What did you just call me?"

Wen Yidi pursed his lips and shouted again in a louder voice:

"mother……"

The next moment, Wen Yidi felt something rushing towards him! For the first time since he could remember, he was held in his mother's arms.

The eldest princess and the queen mother burst into tears. Even the usually indifferent emperor couldn't help but have red eyes when he saw this scene. Wen Yidi could only bite his lower lip, pretending to be strong.

In his heart, there were not many ups and downs, and he was even a little bored. At a certain moment, he felt that everything in front of him had nothing to do with him. He is like an actor, here to accompany dignitaries and put on a good show.

To put it bluntly, the eldest princess had no special feelings for him. Her current behavior was just a reaction after learning her identity.

Wen Yidi suddenly realized that he missed Xu Shihuan. Compared with this kind of family affection that is only connected by blood relationship, everything Xu Shihuan did to him came from the heart.

The eldest princess's motherly love came too late after all. Seeing that his mother had cried enough, Wen Yidi slowly opened his mouth and said what he originally wanted to say:

"Uncle, before I entered the palace, my businessman told me that he seemed to have seen the back of the second emperor brother on the street. The direction he went in was very close to the place where the third emperor brother often went."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's expression suddenly changed. He didn't have time to explain to Li Jiayi, so he quickly called the people waiting outside the hall in.

"Is there any news about the second or third prince today?"

Only then did the father-in-law, who was waiting outside, remember that a palace official had just rushed over in a hurry, saying that he had something important to report. But the emperor had given instructions in advance that no one would be seen except the eldest princess, so he could only drive back the palace messenger who brought the message.

"Back to the Emperor, a palace official did come over just now. He said that there was something important that needed to be told to you in person. Because you had given an order before, you could only let the eldest princess in, so I let him go back."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and immediately sent someone to find him. Fortunately, the palace attendant did not leave in a hurry, but waited obediently not far away. The people sent by the emperor immediately brought her back.

The man knelt on the ground with a thump, kowtowing and said:

"Your Majesty, this servant is a maid from Prince Jin's residence. She was on duty in the palace before. When I got up this morning, I found that His Highness Prince Jin had disappeared with his sword. The name of the third prince was written all over the calligraphy he practiced last night."

"The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, so I sneaked out of the palace and sneaked into the palace in the name of His Highness Prince Jin. I asked the Emperor to forgive me."

At this time, the news that Li Yunfeng left Prince Jin's Mansion with his sword and went to find Li Yunli was confirmed. The emperor immediately sent someone to look for him, and half an hour later, he received news from outside:

The third prince Li Yunli was assassinated and died in a private room of the teahouse. According to the guests in the teahouse, they saw with their own eyes a masked man rushing into the private room with a sword, and after a while he ran out again with a bloody sword.

Since that day, Li Yunfeng has completely disappeared. When the emperor saw the body of the third prince, his energy seemed to have been drained from his whole body, and he could no longer regain any energy.

He knew that he didn't have much time, so he took the time to write his will. When writing the edict, the emperor thought about it and finally wrote Wen Yidi's name. The edict stated that before Wen Yidi ascended the throne, he needed to change his surname to Li.

At the same time as Li Yunli's funeral, Wen Yidi's recognition ceremony was held.
