A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 28: Mom, stop digging. I really don’t like eating wild vegetables (4)

"How does Niaoniao know there is no such place? Niaoniao has never been there."

"That kind of grass grows near water. It's so dry there that it won't grow," Niao Niao said proudly.

Xue An didn't expect that Niao Niao had such a skill. She could tell that someone was lying just by looking at the habits of the grass. She was a good candidate for criminal investigation. Moreover, Niao Niao was only three years old and had a bright future.

Just as Xue An was frantically planning the future for Niao Niao in his mind, Wang Baochuan also ended her social life and wanted to take a look at her son. As a result, she saw Niao Niao kneeling on one knee on the ground.

"I, Ge Niaoniao, swear to be loyal to Xue An until death!"

"Xue An! What are you doing!?"

In fact, Xue An himself was also confused. He just mentioned Niao Niao's future, but he didn't expect Niao Niao to be so childish. Could it be that three-year-old children nowadays have developed like this?

The final result was that Niao Niao was taken away by her mother, and Xue An was given five large characters as punishment. Looking at the fine writing brush and ink in his hand, Xue An sighed. His mother was really out of touch with the world. She couldn't tell at all that this was not something that ordinary people could afford. Only Wang Baochuan thought that she was living a hard life.

Wei Bao was very efficient and soon General Liu noticed the actions of some people in the royal family.

"General, our people encountered a group of people near Wujiapo. Their whereabouts were strange, and there were traces of royal family members behind them."

General Liu had a hunch that the other party was also looking for the whereabouts of Concubine Liu's son, so he immediately sent people to keep a close eye on them. The atmosphere in Wujiaopo was tense as if a storm was about to break out.

Xue An secretly replaced the people around him to prevent himself and Wang Baochuan and others from being in danger without anyone to protect them. More importantly, he could not implicate other people casually, lest he be tainted with too many sins.

In such a tense atmosphere, Wang Baochuan still insisted on going out to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. Sometimes Xue An even suspected that Wang Baochuan did not love Xue Pinggui, but fell in love with the activity of picking wild vegetables.

That day, just after Wang Baochuan left, someone came to kill him. Xue An hurriedly prepared to fight back. The next second, he saw Wang Baochuan coming back, and General Liu was not far away. In order to avoid exposing himself, Xue An had to wait for rescue.

"An'er, come here and hide. Mother will protect you." Although Wang Baochuan had strange ideas, her love for Xue An was real, and Xue An couldn't help but feel moved.

"Pinggui, if you are still in heaven, please protect us mother and son." Wang Baochuan muttered to herself while protecting Xue An.

Xue An was somewhat helpless, but fortunately General Liu arrived in time and successfully rescued the mother and son, but those who came to assassinate them all committed suicide, leaving no one alive.

"Your Highness, I am late in coming to your rescue." General Liu immediately apologized, even though Xue An did not know his identity.

Wang Baochuan was confused: "General Liu, what are you doing?"

"Please come with me, Crown Princess, into the palace." Wang Baochuan followed General Liu to the palace in a daze. It was not until she saw the emperor that she remembered that she was still wearing coarse linen clothes, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Good child, you have suffered." The emperor felt heartache the first time he saw Xue An and Wang Baochuan.

The emperor had already received news from General Liu and knew that Xue An was his grandson and Wang Baochuan was his daughter-in-law. His initial disdain for Wang Baochuan had now turned into heartache for her.

"Your Majesty, the common people are not suffering." Wang Baochuan didn't know why the emperor asked this, but she still answered instinctively, which made the expression on the emperor's face softer.

After General Liu's explanation, Wang Baochuan also understood the relationship between the emperor and Xue Pinggui, and digested the fact that her son was the emperor's grandson. She couldn't help but think of the dream she had before she met Xue Pinggui.

"So Pinggui is the eldest prince, but he accidentally ended up living among the common people?"

"Yes, it's a pity that when I found you, you were in deep danger, and my son actually..." The emperor couldn't help but feel extremely sad.

"Don't cry, Grandpa Emperor. An'er will go back to accompany you." Xue An took the opportunity to comfort the emperor and show his presence. Wang Baochuan also hurried to comfort the emperor.

The unconscious cooperation between mother and son made the emperor feel the true family love. He planned to issue an edict to clarify the identities of the two, but unexpectedly, someone jumped out to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qi requests an audience" (This is a made-up royal family candidate, don't take it too seriously)

"Proclaim"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has found Concubine Liu's child. This is really cause for celebration." The Prince of Qi congratulated the Emperor as soon as he came in, but he didn't expect to touch the Emperor's heart.

"I just brought this child back and you already knew about it? You are really well-informed, aren't you?" The expression on the emperor's face showed no emotion.

The King of Qi then realized that he seemed to have been tricked, and he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I also heard it from others."

"Okay, get up now." The emperor knew that the King of Qi did not have the ability nor the brains to do so.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The King of Qi was immediately sweating profusely, and he didn't even bother to eat melons: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so talkative, but the royal family members don't agree with the identity of this child."

As the King of Qi said, soon many members of the royal family, even elders, came to question Xue An's identity. However, based on the information the emperor found, he could only prove that Xue Pinggui was his son.

"The daughter of the Wang family eloped with the eldest prince. It is hard to say whether she would have an affair with someone else. If she had a bastard with someone else, wouldn't that mean she would be handing over the country to someone else?"

"You are talking nonsense. My daughter has only one husband, Xue Pinggui." Wang Yun was unhappy. Why did he insult his daughter like this?

"Everyone knows what's going on with your daughter. Besides, she's been living outside for so long, so it's inevitable that she's got some hooligans around her. Who knows if there's any..."

"Shut up!" The emperor couldn't stand it anymore. This was his son's wife. To be insulted like this was also a slap in his son's face.

"Your Majesty, I think this boy's bloodline is questionable. He cannot be our crown prince, Your Majesty."

"I beg the Emperor to revoke his order."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to revoke your order."

There were many people kneeling on the ground, but compared with the total number of people in the court, the number was still very small, which showed that many court officials were unwilling to go along with the royal family. At least Su Long and Wei Hu disdained this.

The emperor was in a dilemma, and he also began to doubt Xue An's identity, but he did not dare, nor was he willing to believe this fact. Could it be that he would really be extinct from having any descendants?

"Your Majesty, I think the only solution now is to use a blood test to prove the relationship." Wei Hu looked at the silent emperor and took the initiative to speak.
