The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Both sides had candidates to be held hostage, and they were in a stalemate. Concubine Xian frowned and said, "You bastard, let him go for me."

Hearing her calling him a bastard, the Fourteenth Prince was so angry that he slashed Prince Yu's neck with his dagger, scaring Concubine Xian so much that she screamed.

"Oh, no, son."

"Fourteenth brother, don't be impulsive." Shen Jiarou spoke again, and the Fourteenth Prince regained some rationality.

He smiled gently at Shen Jiarou, then looked at Concubine Dowager Xian with a cold expression.

"Hmph, I am a bastard? No matter how bad I am, I have never killed the king to seize the throne, murdered the heirs and members of the royal family, and I have never manipulated the court, formed cliques, or had officials protect each other. No matter how bad I am, my mother is also a noble princess. Even if you are compared with my mother, I am not inferior to him."

The virtuous Concubine Dowager did not dare to provoke him again, for she was afraid that he was young and frivolous and would take her son's life without paying attention.

Seeing that she was losing control, Concubine Shun threw Concubine Xian to the ground over her shoulder, causing her to grimace in pain.

"what……"

"Mother concubine."

Princess Yu collapsed to the ground in fear. How could things happen to this extent?

Prince Yu saw that the Fourteenth Prince was distracted, so he snatched the dagger from his hand and prepared to kill him.

Li Taipin cried bitterly, "Fourteen."

The Thirteenth King was quick-witted and kicked the dagger out of his hand.

The Jade King wailed: "Ah..."

Looking at the farce in front of her, the Empress Dowager waved her hand.

"Take Concubine Xian and Prince Yu away for me."

The guards bowed and said, "Yes."

"Xiao Yu, go. Concubine Xian has failed to educate her children properly, is arrogant and domineering, and has plotted to murder the emperor and his heir, as well as the empress, Concubine Shun and other members of the royal family. You must be punished for all your crimes, deprive her of her title and all other honors, confiscate her private property, and grant her a piece of white silk."

After hearing this, Prince Yu immediately knelt down and prostrated himself before the Empress Dowager.

"Grandmother, please forgive me. It's all my fault. I am greedy and I am wrong."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and shook off his tug at her sleeve.

"Regret? It's too late. Do you think the Dalin law is just for show? You are so bold to murder your brothers and sisters, and even commit treason and plot to kill the king and seize the throne.

As a brother, if you do not love your younger siblings and do not respect your elder brother, you are unkind; as a son or grandson, if you tell lies all the time, deceive your superiors and subordinates, and do not do enough to dissuade others, you are unfilial; as a subject, if you are not loyal to the emperor and the country and only focus on your own interests, you are disloyal; as such an unkind, unfilial and disloyal person, do you think you can escape the punishment of the laws of Dalin?

Even if I agree, how can the civil and military officials of the whole court and the people of the world be convinced? "

In order to show his loyalty and also to give the Empress Dowager a way out, the Dali Temple Minister hurriedly bowed and spoke.

"Please, Empress Dowager, handle this impartially!"

Jiang Shijie, who had come to his senses, now solemnly stated: "Please ask the Empress Dowager to handle this impartially!"

General Bai, who was on Shen Jiarou's side, knelt down and bowed.

"Please, Empress Dowager, handle this impartially!"

The governor of Xuchang and Lord Quan knelt down together to ask for permission.

More and more ministers began to kneel down and beg. Prince Yu looked at the scene where everyone was pushing the wall down and felt sad and regretful and burst into tears.

The pain in the Empress Dowager's heart was alleviated a little, and she waved her hand and said, "Take Prince Yu to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and wait for his punishment."

"Yes."

The banquet returned to silence in an instant, and Jiang Ziyi stepped forward and helped the Empress Dowager sit down.

"Imperial Great-Grandmother, please slow down."

"Good boy, thank you for your hard work, Ziyi. You must be scared. Go sit down and take a rest."

Jiang Ziyi bowed respectfully and retreated to her seat.

Ji Chenyu looked at the whole audience and said, "The banquet continues, everyone please take a seat!"

Everyone saluted in unison: "Yes."

Shen Jiarou waved to Kaier and she hurried over.

"The Queen."

"Go ask mother if she's alright."

"Yes."

Then she called Rezana over and said, "Go and check on the Fourteenth Prince and see if he's injured. Oh, and ask about the Thirteenth Prince as well."

Rezana bowed respectfully: "Yes."

The out-of-control situation was stopped, and Ji Chenyu was filled with the long-awaited surprise.

"Queen, are you okay? How about I have someone take you back to rest?"

"Your Majesty, I'm fine, and the children are very strong too." You must be kidding. If they weren't strong, how could they have survived to this day as her sons and daughters?

Kaier came behind Concubine Shun and heard Concubine De was concerned about her.

"Sister, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, sister. I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I was really scared to death just now."

When Shen Yirou saw Kaier was stunned, she quickly lowered her head to remind her master.

"Concubine Shun, Aunt Kaier from the Queen's side is here."

Concubine Shun raised her eyes and turned to look at her, and Kaier bowed respectfully.

"I greet Concubine Shun. The Queen asked me to ask if you are okay."

Seeing her daughter asking her, Concubine Shun raised her eyes to look at the person sitting in the main seat. Seeing her talking to the emperor, she smiled gently.

"I'm fine, so the Queen doesn't need to worry."

"Yes, I will tell you the truth. I will take my leave now."

The Fourteenth Prince on the opposite side saw Rezana, who was dressed as a female official, and greeted her with a polite smile.

"Sister Rezana, do you have ten?"

"I greet the Fourteenth Prince. The Queen asked me to ask if you are okay."

Thinking of the scratches on his arms, the Fourteenth Prince pretended to be fine and spoke.

"It's okay. I have thick skin and it won't be easy for me to get hurt. Don't worry, Fourth Sister."

The Thirteenth Prince silently reminded: "That's the Emperor's sister-in-law."

"Oh." Humph, she is obviously his Fourth Princess, so it's not wrong for him to call her Fourth Princess.

Seeing that he said it was okay, Rezana turned around and started to care about the Thirteenth King as ordered.

"King Thirteen, what about you?"

"The king is fine, please report the truth to me, Sister Rezana."

Rezana smiled politely and nodded: "Yes, I will take my leave."

It was a false alarm, and Emperor Wenzong of Tang and the old lady of Yong'an Marquis looked at each other in the air and nodded politely.

After the banquet, Ji Chenyu was so happy that he asked Luo Cheng to arrange for each family member present to receive a silver ingot of ten taels, while he helped Shen Jiarou back to Fengyi Palace.

Shen Jiarou, who was carefully supported by Ji Chenyu and sat on the soft couch, looked up at his face which showed a mixture of nervousness, surprise, excitement, etc. She couldn't help but smile.

"Brother, you don't still think this is a dream, do you?"

Ji Chenyu suddenly laughed happily: "I really feel that everything that happened tonight is very mysterious, as if it were a dream."

He didn't dare to sleep, for fear that when he woke up tomorrow, he would realize that all this was just a dream.

Shen Jiarou reached out, held his big hand, and placed it on her pregnant belly.

"Feel it, the babies are moving. It's not fake. Don't worry."

Ji Chenyu listened to her words and thought about it carefully. Suddenly, he was kicked and he looked up excitedly.

"Rou'er, the baby really kicked me."

Shen Jiarou gently stroked her pregnant belly: "Your Majesty, would you like to listen to the fetal movement?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chenyu bent down with a nervous heart and put his ear on her pregnant belly to listen.
