The prince-in-law told everything about what happened back then. Almost every word he said, the expressions of the queen mother and the emperor became colder. At the end, the queen mother was too angry to say anything.

The Queen Mother always thought that the premature birth of Princess Huyang was an accident, but she did not expect that she was actually murdered.

She almost killed one of her daughters and two of them, separated her daughter from the flesh and blood she had worked so hard to give birth to for nineteen years, and made them hold the son of their enemy in their hands and hurt them for nineteen years.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to cut the old lady Du Guogong alive.

The emperor said coldly, "Here comes someone!"

"Take all the members of Duke Du's residence to the death row of the Ministry of Punishment!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the queen mother said, "Take the old lady of Du Guogong's mansion into the palace. The Ai family will interrogate her personally!"

The father-in-law hurried out to deliver the message.

The eldest consort looked at Xie Jingyan, "Where did Prince Ling get that longevity lock?"

The emperor and the queen mother also looked at Xie Jingyan.

Xie Jingyan said, "Not long ago, Dr. Tao saved an Orion who was bitten by a snake on his way back to Beijing. This longevity lock was worn by the Orion's son since he was a child. It was given to Dr. Tao as the medical fee."

Orion——

These two words deeply hurt the Queen Mother's heart.

The son of their enemy was pampered to no end, but his own flesh and blood were left outside, and he could only make a living by hunting. The corners of the Queen Mother's eyes were red with anger.

The eldest son-in-law asked anxiously, "How old is Orion's son this year and what does he look like?"

Xie Jingyan said, "He is about the same age as me, and his appearance... Doctor Tao said that his features and eyes are somewhat similar to mine."

How similar is he to Yan'er?

The emperor said in black lines, "That's my nephew and uncle!"

Xie Jingyan's eyebrows followed the emperor's.

He looks like Xie Jingyan, so he also looks like the emperor.

The eldest son-in-law was still kneeling on the ground. Although the Queen Mother was angry, she did not blame the eldest son-in-law because she was willing to give up the throne to marry the eldest princess of Huyang and never gave up looking for the lost child after all these years. Said, "Get up."

The eldest son-in-law thanked the Queen Mother and then stood up.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said, "The child has probably suffered a lot from living abroad all these years. Please send someone to bring him back as soon as possible."

The emperor agreed, "I will send someone to take him back to Beijing right now."

The Queen Mother raised her hand, and Nanny Zhao helped her get up and return to Shoukang Palace.

Empress Song was standing at the door of the Royal Study. She rushed over to watch the excitement. When she came, the prince-in-law knelt down and talked about what happened back then. Empress Song did not dare to come forward and disturb her. The look on her face was so wonderful.

The excitement she wanted to see was the Queen Mother forcing the emperor to severely punish King Ling, but in the end she didn't see any of the excitement she wanted to see, and saw everything she didn't want to see.

King Ling saved Prince Yanping and brought the Queen Mother to death. The Queen Mother wanted to kill King Ling as well. But in a twist of events, the person Prince Yanping killed was not the Queen Mother's grandson at all. King Ling even helped the Queen Mother. After finding her biological grandson, not only could the Queen Mother no longer be able to annoy Prince Ling, she even had to thank him.

Thinking of this, Queen Song's face turned faintly blue.

Prince Ling was so lucky that she, the queen, felt uneasy.

The Queen Mother came over, and Queen Song bowed to the Queen Mother, then stepped aside to make way for the Queen Mother.

After the Queen Mother left, Queen Song stepped forward and was about to salute the Emperor. The Emperor waved his hand and said, "Prince Ling and Princess Ling stay, and the others leave."

The smile Empress Song tried her best to maintain couldn't hold back, and when she turned to leave, her face was livid.

After everyone retreated, the emperor looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "Send someone to bring the eldest princess's flesh and blood back to the capital."

Xie Jingyan said, "I will send someone to pick him up, but Prince Yanping's case needs to be retried."

The emperor's anger, which he had finally calmed down, surged up again. Why did he give birth to such a stubborn son? !

The emperor Bu Yu said, "I will no longer issue a decree to demote the title of Prince Yanping."

The emperor took a step back, but he refused to reopen the case.

Prince Yanping killed the Queen Mother's grandson and was sentenced to beheading. If he was not the Queen Mother's nephew, the sentence would be lighter. If this spread, it would be too detrimental to the face of the Queen Mother and him as the emperor.

As long as the title of the Yanping Palace is not taken away, the Yanping Palace will not suffer any losses.

But the emperor did not want to retry the case, and Xie Jingyan refused, "It's okay if we don't retry the case. My father will return the Yun family's death-free gold medal to the Yun family."

The emperor's face sank, "The gold medal to avoid death has been used to save Prince Yanping in public. This is known to everyone."

Xie Jingyan said, "The death of the son of the eldest princess of Huyang was completely unexpected. If it weren't for the pressure from the Queen Mother, the Ministry of Punishment would never have sentenced Prince Yanping to death. As long as the eldest princess's palace did not pursue the case, even the government would not be alarmed about this matter, but Yun The family rescued her with a gold medal for immunity from death that she had earned with merit and two million taels of silver. Is the Queen Mother's face so valuable?"

Shen Wan stood aside, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.

As long as the emperor is persuaded to let the Ministry of Punishment retry the case of Prince Yanping, and as long as Prince Yanping is no longer sentenced to death, the Yun family's gold medal for immunity from death may be returned.

The emperor's veins popped up on his forehead in anger, "I will grant a marriage to Young Master Yun and County Lord Qinghe."

Xie Jingyan reminded the emperor, "Everyone in the capital knows that the Yanping Palace has accepted the betrothal gift from the Yun family, so why does it still need the father's gift of marriage?"

The emperor raised his hand angrily and wanted to slap the dragon case, but he was afraid of scaring Shen Wan, so he raised his hand, but he still held back, "Do you have to let the queen mother lose face like this?!"

Xie Jingyan grabbed Shen Yuan's hand and said, "Let's go."

Shen Wan said "Ah", obviously not reacting yet, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Although the bargaining was not smooth, it was not without hope.

Xie Jingyan took Shen Wan and left, "Why are you staying here so that our son will know in his belly that he has an imperial grandfather who only cares about face and is unreasonable?"

Shen Wan, "..."

Eunuch Yuan, "..."

I really dare to say it.

After hearing this, Xie Jingyan didn't need to hold him back, Shen Wan walked faster than him.

She was afraid that the city gate would catch fire and harm her, a fish in the pond.

The guy next to her had endless ways of seeking death. He had to cut off several heads of others, but he was still able to survive with one head. Shen Wan suspected that Xie Jingyan had developed the emperor's patience with him.

Behind him, the emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was angry and had green smoke rising from his head.

Eunuch Yuan wanted to laugh but couldn't, his shoulders shook again and again because he was holding back.

When the emperor couldn't do anything to King Ling, he took advantage of King Ling's seven inches and forced King Ling to submit.

Unexpectedly, Prince Ling would follow suit and learn to manipulate the emperor with his eldest grandson.

Smart people learn everything quickly.

Others are like the fusion of thousands of favors, but Princess Ling is the fusion of King Ling and the emperor's seven inches into one.

The emperor was so angry that his heart ached, and Eunuch Yuan could not persuade him even if he wanted to.

Persuade the emperor to retry the case of Prince Yanping?

He wouldn't dare.

Finally, the emperor figured it out on his own, gritted his teeth and said, "Pass on my oral instructions and ask the Ministry of Punishment to retrial the case of Prince Yanping impartially."
