Chapter 25: Imperial Master VS Regent (25)

~Two days later~

The Emperor, Concubine Yue and other court officials went to the temple to burn incense, while the Imperial Preceptor stayed in the palace to take charge.

Halfway through the journey, I happened to meet a couple begging.

The couple was planning to avoid him, but they accidentally saw the fake Nalan Xuan's face and were immediately shocked. They quickly ran towards the emperor, shouting, "Yuan'er, Yuan'er! Look, we are your parents! Yuan'er!"

The fake Nalan Xuan was shocked and shouted angrily: "Where did this unruly person come from! Where are the guards? Guards!!!"

The captain of the guards who arrived in a hurry heard that the emperor was angry, and immediately ordered people to capture the couple. Just as he was about to kill them on the spot, the Regent spoke.

"and many more."

The chief guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said quickly, "Yes, may I ask, does the Regent have any instructions?"

Nalan Changge ignored him and walked up to the couple and asked, "Do you know who you just called out to?"

The two of them nodded and said:

"Yes, of course I know. How could we not know what the child we raised with so much hardship looks like? We named him Pingyuan because the place where we found him happened to be a plain."

Ping Yuan (fake Nalan Xuan) said hurriedly: "This is simply nonsense, complete nonsense. I am the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of Linyou Country. I grew up in the palace since I was a child and have never left the capital. How could I know you?!"

"Indeed, the emperor grew up under my own eyes, and he has never left the palace. How could he be your child?"

Nalan Changge nodded in agreement.

Pingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could completely relax, he heard the regent speak again, and he almost choked to death from his own breath.

The Regent said to the couple who seemed to be terrified: "Besides, do you have evidence to prove that he is your son? If not, it would be a crime of insubordination and you will be beheaded."

The lady seemed to be enlightened instantly and said quickly, "Yes! He has a birthmark the size of a finger at the root of his thigh, and it's in the shape of a crescent! I saw it when I was bathing him when he was a child."

"Hmm? Birthmark? If I remember correctly, Your Majesty doesn't seem to have a birthmark on his body."

Nalan Changge pretended to be confused and then sent someone to invite Yue Fei over.

Ping Yuan bluffed, "What do you mean, Lord Regent? Do you doubt me?!"

Nalan Changge said calmly: "No, no, I just want to confirm your identity."

Soon, Yue Fei was brought up, and Ping Yuan became visibly more and more panicked. He spoke to Yue Fei before Nalan Changge could, "My beloved, I want to ask you, do I have a birthmark on my body?"

Ji Yue looked up hesitantly at Ping Yuan, then at the Regent.

Pingyuan comforted her, "Don't be nervous, my beloved concubine. Just tell the truth."

Ji Yue nodded and said, "Your Highness...does not have a birthmark on your body."

Hearing this, the old couple was struck by lightning and looked much older. The woman cried, "How is this possible? How is this possible? You are obviously my child."

Nalan Changge waved his hand and had the two men taken away for interrogation.

Pingyuan wanted to send the two away, but Nalan Changge declined, saying, "Your Majesty is merciful. It would be better for me to handle these two people."

The ministers also advised that it would be safer to leave such matters to the Regent.

Ping Yuan was so angry that he almost broke his teeth. He could only force a smile and said, "Okay, thank you, Regent."

"It is my duty." Nalan Changge nodded.
