The Emperor's daughter seeks power to marry the legitimate daughter and becomes the emperor

Qin came here today specifically to discuss things with Weng Yan.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is pregnant with your legitimate son. Your Majesty is not embarrassed by this arrangement. I just don't want my legitimate daughter to be talked about and spread rumors all over the city, saying that the legitimate daughter of the provincial government has given birth to a child before getting married!"

When Weng Yan heard that Qin Yan had come to discuss with him the auspicious day of marrying Weng Ruoyun into the palace, he expressed his thoughts without hiding anything.

But Weng Yan's words made Qin Xun a little unhappy. Weng Ruoyun had only been pregnant for 22 days. How did he know that she was pregnant with the royal child?

Although Qin Yan was a little impatient in his heart, he wanted to win over Weng Yan so that he could successfully retrieve the half tiger talisman left by the previous emperor.

Qin Yan could only smile while talking, and it seemed like he was opening his heart to Weng Yan.

Qin Yan claimed that he liked Weng Ruoyun and did not insist that she give birth to a legitimate son or a legitimate princess.

Qin Zhen is now only concerned about the world. He will not feel at ease until he takes back the half tiger talisman from the powerful ministers and relatives of the emperor's wife, and then kills them.

"Look at what you said, father-in-law. If your legitimate daughter can give birth to my first legitimate prince after I ascend the throne, then the whole country will naturally celebrate. If she gives birth to a legitimate princess, I will also like her, so of course the whole country will celebrate. What I like is the queen, not that she must give birth to a legitimate son and a princess!"

Weng Yan heard Qin Yan talking about Weng Ruoyun, as if he really liked her?

Weng Yan let down his guard and continued chatting with Qin Yan.

Weng Yan then asked Qin Yan tentatively.

"Your Majesty, I have something small to ask you, may I ask you?"

"Father-in-law, you can say whatever you want."

Qin Yan did think of a way to deal with Weng Yan, so he let him talk.

"When did your Majesty and my daughter meet?"

Weng Yan's tone was never very tactful, so he asked Qin Yan directly without thinking.

After hearing this, Qin Yan didn't know how to answer Weng Yan.

Qin Yan frowned at first and recalled it, then smiled, and then his cheeks turned red, and then he thought about the past carefully.

"I have been holding sister Yun'er since I was ten years old. Sister Yun'er has begged you, my father-in-law, to help me several times since she was five years old."

When Qin Yan thought of Weng Ruoyun, the smile on his face was one of relief, happiness, and pain!

"If it weren't for sister Yun'er asking you, father-in-law, to help me, so that my father could see my knowledge, I would have died in the cold palace, and no one would care about me!"

In Qin Yan's memory, Weng Ruoyun especially liked to pester him when they were little.

But Qin Yan recalled that when he was a child, he had a hard time living in the cold palace!

Qin Xun met Weng Ruoyun when she was ten years old.

Weng Ruoyun was still in her infancy at that time. Her smile was cute and lovable. Every time Qin Yan held her in his arms, she would look at him and smile.

Qin Yan then recalled his experience with Weng Ruoyun three years ago when he was twenty-two years old.

That year, a student who came to Beijing for an imperial examination was tragically killed. In order to prove his talent to his father, Qin Zhen pretended to be a student and investigated the case.

But that year, when Qin Yan was on his way, he passed by a mountain road and was chased by robbers.

When Qin Xun woke up after falling off a cliff, he was rescued by Weng Ruoyun, a twelve-year-old girl who was catching rabbits in the forest.

Qin Yan broke his arm. The twelve-year-old Weng Ruoyun only knew how to catch rabbits and cooked meat for him to heal his injury.

While Qin Xun was recuperating at the foot of the cliff, he spent a full six months with Weng Ruoyun.

Until the day when Weng Yan and the Royal Guards found Qin Yan and parted with Weng Ruoyun.

Qin Yan said that when Weng Ruoyun reached the age of marriage, he would marry her with three letters and six ceremonies.

Whenever Qin Yan thought of the half year he spent with twelve-year-old Weng Ruoyun on the cliff, he wanted to marry her in a formal ceremony to make up for her life-saving grace!

Three years passed in a blink of an eye. This year, Weng Ruoyun has not yet had her coming-of-age ceremony, but Qin Yan has favored Weng Ruoyun.

Now that Qin Yan and Weng Ruoyun's positions are gradually changing, it means that sooner or later he will kill her biological father, the powerful official Weng Yan!

Qin Xun thought about it and gradually became worried. He was in a dilemma: "Sister Ruoyun, will you let me exterminate your entire clan? Will you forgive me if I leave you alive?"

Qin Yan suddenly hesitated. Could it be that he could only use this marriage to obtain the tiger talisman and then personally destroy the nine clans of the Weng family?

Seeing Qin Xun gradually falling into deep thought with a frown on his face, Weng Yan asked.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Why are you so sad?

Qin Yan was still lost in his memories. He thought for a moment and then continued speaking.

"After I ascended the throne, in November this year, I thought that Ruoyun would be coming of age this year, so I wanted to issue an imperial decree to have her enter the palace to serve in front of the emperor, and I would marry her in a formal ceremony once she is over the age of coming of age."

"Unfortunately, I may have been too abrupt. At the beginning of November this year, I have been in vigil for the late emperor for exactly three years. I can't wait to let Sister Ruoyun enter the palace."

"It's a pity that my imperial edict had just arrived in Yu County not long ago, but Sister Ruoyun actually set herself on fire and refused to enter the palace to accompany me!"

The more Qin Yan spoke, the more he blamed himself. This made Weng Yan, who was sitting on a chair beside him, not know how to respond.

After all, on the night when the provincial government caught fire, Weng Yan happened to be on his way back to Beijing to report on his work.

On the day Weng Yan returned to the capital, the government officials and the common people went to put out the fire in the provincial government office. When he returned, he saw his wife Luo Yu, who cried and told him that her legitimate daughter Weng Ruoyun had died in the fire!

Perhaps Weng Yan did not know that the fire in the provincial government office was deliberately set by his legitimate daughter Weng Ruoyun in order to avoid entering the palace.

Listening to Qin Yan's self-blame, Weng Yan spoke with some shame as he explained to Qin Yan.

"Your Majesty, please do not think too much. I will personally investigate the fire in the provincial government once my daughter has safely entered the palace."

Weng Yan was still worried that Weng Ruoyun was impersonating his legitimate daughter, so he should let her into the palace before Qin Yan found out.

If Weng Ruoyun entered the palace first and was favored by Qin Yan, then surely one day she would repay the favor to the provincial government?

Weng Yan knew very well that if his crime of deceiving the emperor were ever made public, the entire Weng family would surely suffer a devastating disaster.

The most urgent task at the moment is that Weng Yan must let Weng Ruoyun enter the palace as soon as possible before Qin finds out.

Weng Yan saw what Qin Yan seemed to be thinking about?

Weng Yansheng was afraid that Qin Yan would find out that Weng Ruoyun was not his legitimate daughter, so he continued to hint at it in a respectful manner.

"Your Majesty, this daughter of yours truly should get married sooner rather than later!"

When Weng Yan saw Qin Xun lowering his head in deep thought, he began to feel a little flustered unconsciously.

[What is your majesty thinking? Could it be that you know something? I wonder if the Imperial Master can cure Weng Ruoyun?]

What did Weng Yan guess Qin Yan discovered?

Weng Yan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Qin Yan didn't say anything, which made him even more worried, so he spoke to change the subject.

"Your Majesty, when my daughter was just born, a Taoist priest passed by the door and calculated with his fingers that she was the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The people all praised my daughter as a living Bodhisattva with a kind heart."

Weng Yan seemed to be talking to himself. Looking at Qin Xun who was deep in thought, he felt more and more guilty and broke out in a cold sweat!

After all, Weng Yan had been an honest man throughout his life and assisted two emperors. This was the first time he had let a woman pretend to be his legitimate daughter and deceived the emperor!

Weng Yan, who had already been feeling extremely nervous, subconsciously took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead!

Weng Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and from time to time he looked at the folding fan in Qin Yan's hand, closing and opening it, as if he was struggling with something.

Weng Yan could only continue to question Qin Yan to make himself feel at ease.

"Then how did Your Majesty and the old minister's daughter meet before she got pregnant?"
