When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

Well known.

Yan Guanqing has only one younger sister, who is the mother of the fifth prince Situ Yan and the emperor Situ Qing's former favorite concubine - Concubine Lan, Yan Yilan.

To what extent did Situ Qing dote on Yan Yilan at the beginning?

Before Imperial Concubine Yu, Yan Yilan was the only Imperial Concubine in the palace. It was not until many years after her death that the power of Duke Yu's Mansion grew and Situ Qing promoted Yu Wanshu to the position of Imperial Concubine.

Yan Yilan had only been in the palace for a few short years, but during those years she was the one that everyone looked up to.

Her beauty, her talent, her exclusive favor...

Even after so many years of her death, it still remained a taboo for the entire royal family.

To earn a place for her foolish son in the cruel royal family.

More than ten years later, whenever her name is mentioned, everyone will remember her first!

When they heard Yan Guanqing's words, no matter whether they knew the past or not, no one dared to say anything more.

Situ Yan stared at Yan Guanqing in a daze, his eyes blank, but there seemed to be some suppressed emotions flowing deep in his eyes.

"He said his sister..."

He didn't lower his head, but Xie Yuantang knew that he was asking her.

"He's talking about mother, right?"

Situ Yan looked at Yan Guanqing's back, then slowly looked at Yu Guanshu who was kneeling there: "My mother...was she the one who killed her?"

Xie Yuantang couldn't answer. She had only traveled through time for a few days, so how could she know all these old stories?

And she didn't expect that all these would be involved today.

Just looking down at Situ Yan's slightly trembling hands, Xie Yuantang felt a little uncomfortable.

She knew that he had always had a deep obsession with his mother in his heart. In order to hear more about Yan Yilan, he was even willing to endure Situ Qing's bullying, both openly and covertly.

If it was really discovered that there was something fishy about Yan Yilan's death, how sad would he be?

He fell into the water today and has been holding on until now without changing his clothes...

Thinking of this, Xie Yuantang felt a little distressed, and clenched his fingers with her little hand and said, "Don't worry, my husband, your uncle is here."

The cold fingertips slowly transmitted soft warmth to him, but Situ Yan did not lower his head.

He just slowly tightened his five fingers and clenched the little hand.

Situ Qing looked at the kneeling Yan Guanqing with a gloomy look: "What did you say?"

"I have found out that Yu Guanshu was related to the death of my sister Yan Yilan. A witness has confessed in the Wanyue Palace. I ask Your Majesty to review the old case and give justice to my sister."

Yan Guanqing was neither humble nor arrogant, and his upper body was as straight as a pine tree.

It seemed as if he had been waiting for this moment for many years.

Situ Qing took a deep breath and his eyes swept across Yan Guanqing, finally landing on Yu Guanshu and Situ Ye, mother and son.

Situ Ye’s face was pale, and Yu Guanshu was trembling weakly.

"My Lady, do you have anything to say about what Grand Tutor Yan said?" Situ Qing asked in a cold voice.

Yu Guanshu trembled slightly, lowered her head and stammered, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is innocent. I don't know how Yan Guanqing slandered me. Please, Your Majesty, please look into this matter."

"I guarantee with my own head that I have never lied. All the palace maids in Wanyue Palace are detained inside. Your Majesty can verify it."

"Father!"

Situ Ye knelt down and took two steps forward, clenching his teeth, his eyes reddened: "Father, that's all old news. If someone really wants to do something, what's the problem?"

"Mother has been with you for more than twenty years. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. Are you really going to completely forget the relationship between husband and wife and father and son just because of something you haven't figured out yet?"

Situ Qing looked at the fourth son, pursed his lips, and remained silent for a long time.

He neither asked Yan Guanqing to present evidence nor did he say he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.

Situ Yan hesitated for a moment and took a small step forward.

As soon as he moved, Xie Yuantang pulled him back and whispered, "Don't move."

On one side is the old love, and the fool who just escaped death.

On one side is the concubine who was suspected of killing his ex-love and Sha'er, and a very outstanding son, as well as the Yuguo Mansion behind them.

Now that Situ Qing has been suspended in the air, if Situ Yan stands out at this time, it will only make him feel that he is being forced to make a decision.

Situ Yan lowered his head and held Xie Yuantang's hand very tightly, even causing her fingers to hurt a little, but she didn't say a word.

"He can plead for his mother, and I want to..."

Situ Yan has always listened to Xie Yuantang.

At this moment, she didn't let him go out, and he didn't move either, but said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle... is alone, I want to help him..."

Xie Yuantang paused.

She subconsciously weighed the pros and cons for him, but forgot that he had a sincere heart as a son.

She let go of his hand, smiled slightly, and encouraged him: "Then go ahead, my husband, kneel beside your uncle, and don't say anything."

Situ Yan still nodded obediently, took a step forward, then stopped and looked at her: "It's not good to stand out, right? Then don't come out, lady."

Still thinking about her.

Xie Yuantang nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Situ Yan didn't look at anyone, but walked straight to Yan Guanqing and knelt down next to him properly.

He didn't argue or dispute, just kept his head down and remained silent. He was too well-behaved.

Yan Guanqing's whole body stiffened, his nose suddenly felt sore, and he resisted the urge to look at him.

He had already made up his mind to fight to the death when he learned that his nephew was safe, so he didn't even look at him when he came up to the hall.

He thought Xie Yuantang would look favorably upon him, but to his surprise, he still stood up.

Situ Qing's eyes fell on Situ Yan's wet voice, his breathing stagnated, and his five fingers suddenly tightened.

Situ Ran raised his eyebrows when Situ Yan stood up.

Situ Mo glanced in the direction of Xie Yuantang, then lowered his eyes and watched quietly.

Situ Xu secretly grabbed his sister who wanted to plead for Situ Ye, and shook his head at her almost unnoticeably.

Situ Feng didn’t understand, weren’t they and their siblings from the same faction as their fourth brother?

Aren't the younger brother and the fourth brother usually the best friends? Why is he silent today?

The entire hall was like a bow with a taut string.

Situ Ye and Situ Yan stood on each side, and both sides had equal chips.

It is still unknown who will win today.

No one knows what choice the emperor sitting high on the throne will make.

If we were to ask who was the most relaxed among all the people present, it would definitely be Leng Yunchao, who seemed to be indifferent to everything that had nothing to do with him.

He even turned his back and yawned. It was not until Situ Yan walked out that he became interested in watching the show.

He lowered his voice and asked his niece, "Xiao Tangtang, you really don't want to help plead for mercy? If you want to take care of this matter, it's not impossible for your uncle to help."

Although the Leng family has nothing to do with the Yan family, they don't want to get involved in these matters.

But if my little niece wants to get involved, then there’s nothing wrong with them joining in and having some fun.

Xie Yuantang shook his head: "There's no need for us to take action, it should be...soon."

"Ok?"

Leng Yunchao didn't understand: "What's coming soon?"

Xie Yuantang didn't say much.

This bow is about to become unbalanced if it is missing the last weight!

She believed that Yan Guanqing would not be unprepared.

There is only one person missing, it's time to go on stage!
