Chapter 253: Raging Hatred

After a period of silence, Ji Yun's voice finally broke the stillness of the manor: "People often say that the children of the Prince of Zhennan are all outstanding, and this is obviously true. Even my eldest daughter-in-law is from the Feng family." He paused, his eyes flashing with deep meaning, "Don't stand, sit down and talk slowly."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became solemn. Ji Yun's words were understated, but they deeply revealed his identity - he was Prince Jing'an.

Feng Jingxuan led his younger brothers and sisters to sit down together, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. They knew the next words would determine everything.

Ji Yun's voice was low and calm, as if recounting a long-forgotten story. "I am the Prince of Jing'an, and my wife is the Princess. As for Gu Yichen, he is our eldest twin son." He paused, his gaze inadvertently glancing at Gu Yazhu. Seeing her gently lower her head, Ji Yun's eyes flickered slightly, as if recalling that distant and painful day. "You may not know that while the Queen and the Madam were on their way to visit the gods at Xiangguo Temple, the Madam's stomach suddenly began to move. Gu Yichen was born then. However, on his first day, he was stolen away by the Princess's biological sister, the current Queen, Luo Yaxue."

Feng Jingxuan frowned tightly, his face solemn. He had never heard his father mention it in this way.

Ji Yun's voice gradually deepened. "The Queen claimed that our eldest son was stillborn, and we were kept in the dark. It wasn't until Yun Junche was three years old that we discovered that he looked exactly like the Crown Prince. It was as if in a dream that we finally understood that the Crown Prince was our child, too."

Gu Yazhu raised her head suddenly, tears welling up in her eyes, her lips trembling slightly. Her hand unconsciously grasped Ji Yun's hand, tears welling up in her eyes: "This...this..."

Ji Yun looked down at her, a hint of pain in his eyes, and gently held her hand, as if this simple action could bring her some comfort.

"The prince was assassinated and ended up in Taohua Village, where he was rescued by the sixth sister, but he lost his memory? Later, the prince and princess found them? They fell in love and got married?" Feng Jingyan's gossipy mind was completely aroused, and his tone was a little curious.

Gu Yazhu sobbed softly, tears streaming down her face again, and she slowly spoke: "When the prince and I arrived, it happened to be the day they got married. That's why we rashly went to recognize them. You all saw what happened afterwards. We hid our identities and lived with them." Her voice became lower and lower, as if she was recalling that past that was both happy and sad.

Ji Yun sighed softly and held Gu Yazhu's shoulders. Gu Yichen stood quietly beside her, his heart filled with confusion and pain. He walked slowly towards his mother and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Gu Yichen suddenly realized that all his previous doubts and anxieties were well-founded. Whenever his identity as the Crown Prince was mentioned, he always felt an inexplicable heaviness, as if everything was a preordained deception. He had believed that he was related to the Emperor and Empress by blood, but now he understood that this was all just a carefully planned plot by the Emperor - Gu Yichen was not their biological child at all.

"So... I'm just a pawn of the Emperor," Gu Yichen thought to himself, finally understanding the true meaning behind his position as Crown Prince. The Emperor had bestowed the title upon him simply to protect his biological eldest son. When the time was right, he would unhesitatingly remove him and appoint a new Crown Prince. And if he lost his position as Crown Prince, Lu Ling'er's fate would become a source of deep sorrow for him.

A complex web of emotions swirled within him. Lu Ling'er was pregnant with his child, which meant she would never become the new Crown Princess. To control the Prince of Zhennan's military power, the Emperor would certainly not allow her to marry anyone else. He would likely make her a concubine, or even a higher position. In that case, her fate would be firmly tied to his, no matter how hard he struggled, how he tried to escape this chess game.
