The 17th year of Antong, the eighth day of February.

More than half a month has passed since the massacre that took place on the Yuanyang Festival this year.Whether it was the capital city or the common people in other places, everyone was worried, for fear that the emperor would kill him.On the Jiangnan side, King Haigu still guarded his army and civilians against Daning, and did not back down at all.

On this day, Lian Yu planned to have a hot pot with Bai Qingran at home to get rid of the cold, but his elder brother Lian Xin came over in a hurry and said that his father was in a hurry.Lian Yu was a little strange, but still told Lan'er to prepare the ingredients, and when she came back in the evening, she could have dinner with the princess.

Lian Yu didn't change his regular clothes, he just put on a quilt and went out with Lian Xin.

Lianfu.

Lian Xin brought Lian Yu into the house, and after entering the door, he carefully checked to see if anyone was following him; Lian Yu noticed his brother's behavior, and his doubts deepened.

"Brother, why did Dad call me here?"

"To be honest, I don't know either. It's just that my father said that this matter is very important, and he asked me to be careful whether there will be other people following me on the road. I must make sure that this matter will not be leaked."

Lian Yu frowned suspiciously, seeing that Lian Xin didn't seem to be lying, she walked towards the main hall of the mansion.

When he first entered the main hall, Lian Yu saw that Lian Fu and Lian Er were wearing black clothes and black trousers, standing with their backs facing each other in front of the hall; and the calligraphy and painting that was originally enshrined in the main hall had turned into a few black people at this moment. wooden tablet.

"Father, Yu'er is here—" Lian Yufang stepped forward, only to see a few plaques that came into view, the upper ones listed 'Da Yanshun and the Emperor', and the lower ones listed 'Da Yanshun Prince Tong'. ''Da Yanming Wang Yang'.Seeing this, I was shocked:

"Father! Why do you worship the former imperial family at home? This... this is a capital crime!" Lian Yu couldn't help being taken aback by Lian Fu's move.Recently, the matter of worshiping Dayan has caused a lot of ups and downs in the city, and every family has kept silent about Zisang.Why is my father worshiping by himself now!

Lian Xin was startled, but he didn't dare to ask questions, and just stood silently behind him.

Lian Fu turned around and looked at Lian Yu; seeing the anxious look on the child's face, he smiled slightly: "Capital crime? It's just worshiping the dead, but is it an unforgivable sin?"

"No...it's just that the emperor is very taboo recently..." Lian Yu replied softly.

"Of course he is taboo. As the emperor, how many days in the past ten years has he not been planning for the future!" Lian Fu's eyes suddenly became cold, and he said fiercely as he stared at nothing: "The throne was originally a non-existent one. He was the one who used all means to snatch all of this!"

Lian Yu was stunned, not knowing what Lian Fu meant.

"Brother, don't get angry." Lian Er hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Nodding repeatedly, he sighed heavily.Looking back at Lian Yu with a dazed face, and thinking about the current situation in the world, it seems that the suffering that has been suppressed in the bottom of my heart for 17 years has been relieved.

"Father, call Yu'er here...why?"

Lian Fu smiled.

"Yu'er, there are some things that Dad has kept from you for many years. Now, it's time to tell you." Lian Fu walked away slowly for a few steps, and then returned to Lian Yu's side: "Before, you said that you I read a lot of history books of previous dynasties in the study room of the eldest princess's mansion. After reading it, what do you think about Ming Yang's change?"

Lian Yu didn't expect it.

"Yu'er feels that there are many doubts about the coup. It's just that there are not too many records for Yu'er to think about." In fact, Lian Yu once thought that Bai Daocheng's appearance was a bit intriguing.It's just that he is already the emperor, and he is also his father-in-law, so what can he say.

Do you really want to say that Bai Daocheng's side of the Qing emperor is more like seeking to usurp the throne?

Lian Fu nodded in relief, "That's right. So, do you know the other side of these things?"

Lian Yu paused, then shook his head again.

"The prince of the former dynasty, Zi Sang Tong. He is a very ambitious and talented crown prince. He wholeheartedly hopes to be a good emperor and pass on Dayan better. The most powerful minister, the Bai family, took over many powers in the court early on, making him, the crown prince, like a doll on strings."

"Ming Yang's change, in fact, he knew about it early. He knew that his elder brother Sang Yang wanted to seize the throne, and he also knew that Bai Daocheng of the Bai family had the same intention. But the prince has no power and has no way to deal with the Bai family. So on that day On the Yuanyang Festival of that year, he chose to watch his dynasty collapse with his own eyes, just to revive Zisang one day in the future."

Lian Fu stopped.

After hearing this, Lian Yu didn't investigate the truth, but still felt puzzled: "Father...why did the prince choose to hand over the country to others? And...after the coup, didn't all the members of Zisang's family be killed?" ?…"

Lian Fu was silent.

"Until the death of the prince, there were only Shaozheng, the daughter of the prime minister on the right, and the princess. The princess was weak. She had conceived children for the prince twice before, but both had miscarriages. When she was pregnant for the third time, It happened to be a year before the coup. The Crown Princess knew that it was already a troubled time, so before the Yuanyang Festival, she sent the child out of the palace immediately after giving birth. The Crown Prince also hoped that the child would be safe, and said that the Crown Princess had not yet given birth."

Hearing this, Lian Xin couldn't calm down for a long time.

"So, there is still a child living in this world in the previous dynasty?" Lian Yu understood the story.After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong: "Father, how do you know these things?"

Is it nonsense?

Lian Fu looked back at Lian Yu, pursed his lips, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes: "Before the prince, he had a pair of trusted brothers named Lian Zhimin and Lian Zhifan. Sun took him out of the palace to live. Just in case, one of them even mutilated his face with his own hands, just to avoid being recognized by the Bai family."

Lian Yu just felt that the world seemed to stand still for a moment.

17 years ago, the orphan of the imperial dynasty.Lian's family confidant, his face was ruined by a knife wound.

Lian Yu looked at the multiple scars on Lian Fu's face that had criss-crossed for many years, wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.What does this story mean?Really, is it meant to be?

"It's been 17 years." Lian Fu's eyes were red, but he just suppressed tears blindly: "They have been hiding for 17 years. Son, tell me, now the dog emperor is making things difficult for the dead. A surviving emperor's grandson, shouldn't he go against him!"

"I...I don't know..." Lian Yu's mind suddenly became chaotic, and seeing Lian Fu's words, he felt uneasy. "Father...why, why did you tell Yu'er this story..."

"Yu'er, this is not a story, it's true," Lian Fu pulled her, "You are the child born to the princess 17 years ago, you are the direct blood of the former prince, you are not a citizen of my company Your child, your surname is not Lian, your surname is Zisang, and your real name is Zisangyu!"

Yu took a few steps back again and again, shaking his head with disbelief in his eyes.

"How... how..."

How could I be of the blood of the previous dynasty, how could I be the orphan of Zisang!This is fake, this must be fake!If I am really an orphan of Zisang, now that I am a son-in-law, it is nothing if I recognize the Bai family as my father!

Seeing her like this, Lian Fu knew that she would not be able to accept it at this time.

"Yu'er," Lian Er stood by and handed Yu a bright yellow brocade: "This is a letter from the crown prince entrusting my two brothers to take care of the emperor's grandson 17 years ago. Inside, there is also a letter written by the son of Dayan. Yuxi."

Yu took it hesitantly, but his hands trembled a little.After making up his mind, he opened it:

"Dayanshunhe 48th year, the first month. The emperor was born as a daughter. But he failed to stay by his side. According to the return, the Bai family will rise up in Yuanyang, fearing that the emperor's life will be dragged down. The cronies, the people, and the emperor will go out of the city. One is health, the other is recovery; I know that this move will tire me for a lifetime of hard work, but there is nothing I can do. Today, I name the emperor's son Yu, and present him with a jade pendant. I hope that my body will be strong, so that I can unify the world and revitalize the world. delay."

Under the brocade and silk fabrics are the personal seals of Prince Sang Tong, and Fangzheng's Xi Ying Dayan Chaozi Emperor Sang's imperial edict'.

Yu tightly held a dragon-shaped jade pendant wrapped in the brocade silk, looking at the words on the brocade silk that seemed a little faded due to the years, his heart was already storming several times.

Looking back at my father and uncle who have taken care of me for more than ten years, I suddenly thought at this moment, don't the words for those two people mean 'Fu Yan' when they are combined.So, all of this is true?I am not an ordinary person, but a royal who bears the honor and disgrace of the dynasty from birth?

Moreover, facing a person who killed his whole family, he called him Father Emperor...

Yu was a little lost, unable to speak for a long time.

Lian Xin stood aside, watching all this, although not as painful as Yu, but still shocked enough.Since childhood, I only knew that she was not her own, and that she was a younger sister who pretended to be a boy.Little did they know, she was a daughter who had to pretend to be a man from birth, only in this way could she live bravely.

Only in this way can one be a king in the future.

"His Royal Highness—"

Lian Fu and Lian Er knelt down to Yu Yu together, and a honorific title made Yu retreat half of his body backward.

"Your Majesty, I have been ordered by the Crown Prince. In this life, I will protect Your Highness fully; Your Highness will take back the throne. Your Highness, now Bai Daocheng is sitting in the imperial city, and he is still killing innocent people from the previous dynasty. I implore Your Highness, follow along with me." The ministers left the imperial city, went to Chengyun City in the south of the Yangtze River, and used the ancestral temple as evidence to oppose the Bai family!"

There was only a wry smile on the corner of Yu's mouth.

"Isn't all of this today a joke?"

Lian Fu raised his head and looked directly at her: "Minister, why are you joking about this matter? Seventeen years ago, His Highness's father and grandfather were killed in the palace by that surname Bai, and the queen mother died in order to cover up your departure; Your Highness, do you really think that these vengeances should not be avenged? If he is a wise emperor from the Bai family, the minister will recognize it; but, his wolf ambition is the ambition of a wolf. Don't rest in peace—"

In Yu's eyes, it seemed that he really saw the scene back then.

A child was born, crying all night, two guards escaped from the imperial city with the baby in their arms; a festive feast, the emperor and his ministers were in harmony, a glass of wine was revealed, the prince was poisoned, with tears on his cheeks; in the silent night, holding the weak body The candlestick ignited a fire of hatred towards the hall, and was buried in the sea of ​​fire for the sake of the child.

Yu couldn't help shedding tears, not for anyone, but for Bai Qingran who spent so much time together day and night.

We have been married for almost a year.

Over the past year, I thought that we would go hand in hand with her in this life, peaceful and peaceful; however, God seems to have to give me a test, a test that involves family hatred and national hatred!

Ran'er, you are my wife, but you are the daughter of my father-killer and enemy...

If the blood of the former Zi Sang family really flows in my body, then in this life, I am doomed not to be able to coexist with you Danimbai family.You and I are clearly on good terms, whether there will be a day when we meet in battle.

"Your Highness—" Lian Fu wanted to persuade him again, but Yu stretched out his hand, signaling to stop talking.

"Father, I don't know how to call you. You have raised me for 17 years, and I believe you; you said that I am the orphan of the former prince, and I also believe you. I will go to Jiangnan with you, but, give me Some time..." As Yu said, he couldn't help lowering his head, as if every time he uttered a word, his heart felt like a knife was piercing his heart.

Nod repeatedly.

Yu put the jade pendant and brocade silk together in his robe, and looked back at the spiritual seat in the hall.

He just walked forward slowly, took the slender sandalwood on the table, dipped it in the candlestick and lit it, then squeezed his hands together, and bowed straightly to the three spiritual seats above the main hall three times.

If I were Zisang, I would seize the throne in this life to comfort my ancestors who died back then.

As soon as the sandalwood was submerged in the incense burner on the table, the wisps of smoke that rose slowly with the breeze passed over the several god tablets on the seat one by one, as if touching the golden lacquered characters on the tablets, In exchange for a few layers of knowing warmth.

---------------------------

Princess House.

Lian Xin drove Yu back to the mansion in a carriage.When they arrived at the Princess Mansion, the clear sky had already fallen into the night, and the surroundings were surrounded by a dark scene.When getting out of the car, Lian Xin saw her gloomy expression, he hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth: "Yu... No, Your Highness..."

"Don't call me Your Highness again."

Yu was a little unhappy, "I knew how my elder brother treated me more than ten years ago. I don't want the existence of that layer of identity to alienate you from me. For Yu, Lian Xin will always be my elder brother."

For thousands of years, how many people have blinded their hearts for the sake of power and influence; those who are high above are always in a state of high above, but the people living at the bottom are always suppressed at the bottom.

It's just, aren't they all human?Even the Son of Heaven is just a mortal.

Yu looked at him sincerely and saw his smile.

"Okay. For Lian Xin, you will always be the one protected by your brother. Go in quickly, and don't let anyone see you."

"Ah."

A few words, after all, still did not say much.Perhaps, that layer of estrangement will exist no matter what.

Yu sighed lightly, seeing the bright light in the distance of the mansion, felt a twinge of pain in his heart.Forget it, don't think too much about it, put it down for now, let it go for now...

Walked unhurriedly to the side hall, and smelled a fragrance from a distance.

"I'm back." Yu walked in slowly.I saw a stove set on the table in the side hall. The water in the stove was already boiled, and the meat and seasonings in it gave off an aroma that tempted the stomach; around the stove, there were a lot of fish. Vegetables, pots, bowls and bowls seem to be as many as twenty at a glance.

"You're back~" "Good morning, son-in-law~"

Sitting around the hot pot were Bai Qingran and Lan'er.There were still some black marks of coal on the faces of these two people, and they must have worked all afternoon to finish the meal for Wu Wu.

Yu couldn't help but feel a little moved, walked up to Bai Qingran and sat down.

"You two, master and servant, have become like cats with painted faces." Yu smiled and took the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing that the two of them were not good at skills, he put the ingredients into the hot water in the pot with ease. Rinse and eat with sauce.After eating, he opened his mouth to ask the two of them: "Are you all full?"

The two master and servant were still biting the meat in the bowl, and there was a moment of silence upon hearing this sentence.

"No, I just started eating." Bai Qingran smiled.

"The princess just ate a lot, and even robbed me of some! Son-in-law, you have to be the master!" Lan'er unceremoniously poked Bai Qingran's small report in front of Yu, and Bai Qingran couldn't help being annoyed. blushing:

"You girl! Talk nonsense!"

"The princess is talking nonsense, but Lan'er is speaking the truth~"

"Also! Believe it or not, I will ask you to clean the hut tomorrow!"

All of a sudden, the nice warm family dinner turned into a place for the two to bicker. Yu shook his head helplessly. There was more and more vindictiveness between the princess and Lan’er. I really don’t know what to say about Lan’er’s boldness. , or Bai Qingran, the princess is becoming more and more inappropriate for a princess.

In fact, it's okay, the cold look before, it looks so tormenting.

--------------------

"Are you going to Jiangnan?"

"Ah."

At night, in the dormitory, under the quilt that the two embraced, Yu talked about going to Jiangnan.He just thought that the candlestick was extinguished at this moment, there was no light, so she didn't need to see his guilty look.And I couldn't bear to see her sad.

"It's just that there are rebels in the south of the Yangtze River? I heard that there is chaos there. If you go, will you be in danger?" Bai Qingran couldn't help worrying, what if those people found out that Yu was the son-in-law?Will it be blackmailed?

Although those rebels protested because of his father's recklessness, wouldn't Yu be in danger if he lost his mind?

"Don't be afraid. I just go back to follow Dad to do some things, and pay homage to the ancestors." Yu hurriedly leaned over and hugged the worried person: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back, and I will come back safely. "

"Then don't make me wait too long..."

"Well! Wait for me."

Smelling the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus lingering in his nose, Yu slowly made up his mind.

Bai Qingran, you belong to me, and you belong to my son Sang Yu.In this life, even if I use up my life to fight this battle to seize the country, I will definitely take you back.
