Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 93 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (27)
The emperor was enjoying himself in the arms of his concubine and forgot all about home, while the crown prince was furious when he received the news that Sheng Yuan had taken Lin Nan to Yuzhou.
After Lin Nan came to the capital, he kept avoiding him, unwilling to have any connection with him, unwilling to acknowledge him as his elder brother, and even covered up his birthmark. Fine, I'll just protect him in secret. But Sheng Yuan actually took him to Yuzhou, where a plague was rampant. If you were not careful, you could easily die from the disease.
"This is utter nonsense!" De'an didn't know why his master had suddenly become so angry, so he knelt on the ground and dared not approach.
"Brother!" Liang Sixian arrived at the East Palace after receiving the news. "Brother, I'm asking you, isn't Nan-ge'er our younger brother? Do you know who I'm talking about!"
"How could you..." Liang Siqi was somewhat surprised.
“That’s it. I’ve seen Nan’er’s hand.” Liang Sixian said, “Although I don’t know exactly what happened, I know that He Zhao cares about Nan’er the most. He wouldn’t have taken him if he wasn’t absolutely certain that he could protect Nan’er.”
“What do you know? Going to Yuzhou could mean the risk of contracting the plague at any time. How can he ensure Nan Ge’er’s safety?” Liang Siqi said angrily.
Liang Sixian rolled his eyes and said, "Then go and bring him back now, and see if he's willing to come back with you?"
"You!" Liang Siqi was speechless and angrily flicked her sleeves.
There's no way Nan-ge'er will come back with him; it's no use him going in person.
Over the course of a year, Sheng Yuan and Lin Nan, along with the imperial physicians, quelled the plague in Yuzhou and rebuilt everything there.
Gu Shuqiao not only orchestrated chaos in Prince Yu's mansion, but also exposed Prince Yu's crimes and ambitions to the emperor.
Watching Prince Yu and Shen Yunyi die in agony, Gu Shuqiao smiled smugly.
Those filthy things that hurt his wife deserve to die.
Standing atop the city wall of Wuzhou, Gu Shuqiao never imagined he would live like this. All he ever wanted was to live a peaceful life with his beloved.
After a year's absence, they returned to Beijing to report on their work.
The emperor prepared a banquet for them.
At the banquet, everyone celebrated.
The emperor and empress sat at the head of the table, and all the officials and their families took their seats in an orderly manner.
"My two esteemed ministers are truly exceptionally talented. To possess such abilities at such a young age, their future is indeed limitless! You have rendered a great service this time. Would you like any reward?"
The emperor was overjoyed and said...
Gu Shuqiao then said, "I have long admired Shen Yunzhao, the heir of the Duke of Shen's family, and I humbly request Your Majesty to grant us a marriage!"
The emperor frowned. Earlier that day, when the two were reporting to each other in the imperial study, the emperor had hinted at the marriage between Gu Ze and his daughter. As a result, Gu Ze asked him to grant him and Shen Yunzhao a marriage.
The Imperial Concubine never expected that Gu Ze would be so ungrateful as to choose an ugly and unattractive boy instead of her own Xiao Ba!
The emperor smiled and agreed, after all, it concerned the face of the royal family.
"Is there anything you desire, Minister He?"
"Your Majesty, during my report, I mentioned that the president of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce had made great efforts in resolving the plague. The eight million taels of silver donated by the merchants, as well as the alcohol used for cleaning and other supplies needed for treatment, were all completed with the help of the president. In particular, the method for manufacturing the alcohol was devised by the president. I would like to request that Your Majesty and the Empress meet this person."
"Oh~ who exactly is this person that you, my dear minister, would recommend him so highly? I'd like to have a good meeting with him." The emperor became interested.
When the Empress heard that this person also wanted to see her, she became interested.
"Have you thought it through?" Sheng Yuan asked, reaching out his hand.
Lin Nan placed his hand on hers and said with a smile, "Since you've made up your mind, you shouldn't back down."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Nan stepped forward and bowed: "Lin Nan, President of Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce, greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress."
Everyone was shocked to learn that the president of the Liang Dynasty's No. 1 Chamber of Commerce was actually a young man.
Many people were surprised that this young man looked exactly like the empress, and upon closer inspection, he also resembled the emperor.
"Are you the president of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce?" the emperor asked.
“That’s right.” Lin Nan looked at the two people at the head of the table. These were his biological parents. He still wanted to see them and tell them the truth.
Lin Nan continued, "Your Majesty, my husband, He Linshi, in his capacity as president of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce, has donated the technology for alcohol purification to you free of charge, as well as the blueprints for the manufacture of many weapons on the battlefield over the past year."
"Is this true?"
"really."
"Even so, I cannot allow you to be so generous and gain nothing. How about I bestow upon you the title of County Lady?"
"Your Majesty, please allow me to refuse. My wish to stand here today has been fulfilled, and I need no reward."
I didn't expect him to refuse, so I'm especially curious about what his wish is.
"Oh, may I ask what your wish is?"
"Lin Nan wants to see my family with a respectable identity, to tell them that I survived, that I am happy now, that I can protect myself, and that I can contribute to Daliang, so that I can live up to the blood I shed." Lin Nan tore off the skin that Sheng Yuan had given him, which was stuck to the back of his hand.
A red butterfly appeared on the back of his fair hand. He stared at the two people at the head of the table, his eyes red-rimmed.
Everyone in the capital knew that the Empress had a red butterfly birthmark on the back of her hand, which was a sign of good fortune and the reason she entered the palace to become Empress.
The empress gripped the handle tightly, at a loss.
"How dare you! You dare to impersonate a royal heir and deceive His Majesty! Drag him away!" the Imperial Concubine shouted.
"Who dares to touch him?" Liang Siqi shouted.
Upon seeing a foolish guard, Liang Sixian immediately stood up and blocked Lin Nan's path: "Anyone who dares to touch him, I will kill them!"
Sheng Yuan hugged his young husband, whose eyes were red with tears.
"You knew all along?" the Empress asked Liang Siqi.
“Yes. Your son has investigated everything, but Nan-ge’er has always refused to acknowledge you, so your son can only keep it a secret for him,” Liang Siqi said.
"Why?" Why wouldn't they acknowledge each other? Why did this happen... The Empress couldn't understand.
At this moment, Sheng Yuan confirmed that the aura of evil forces was attached to the Imperial Concubine.
Sheng Yuan addressed the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, in the past year, Minister Gu and I have uncovered twenty crimes committed by the Crown Prince, including forming cliques, colluding with Prince Yu, and illegally possessing troops. The evidence is irrefutable, and his crimes are unforgivable! Furthermore, back then, the Imperial Concubine, together with Zhao, a first-class maidservant of the Empress, switched the imperial heir. Zhao harbors deep resentment towards Your Majesty and the Empress. When I saw Lin Nan back then, his body was covered in scars from being whipped, and he was almost skin and bones. If I hadn't woken up in time, I fear I would have been falsely accused by Lin Nan's second wife as a symbol of misfortune and drowned in a pig cage! In Yuzhou, they even sent people to try to silence Lin Nan!"
The story about drowning pigs in a cage was obviously made up, but it had to be told in a very harsh way, otherwise how could people feel sorry for the pigs?
The Empress couldn't believe what she was hearing. She turned to look at her son, Liang Siqi, hoping he would tell her it wasn't true.
"Mother, it's true, these are just the tip of the iceberg..." Liang Siqi thought of the things she had found out and couldn't help but tear up.
“Then Nan’er…” Liang Siqi naturally knew who his mother was referring to, and said, “He is also Father Emperor’s son.”
So she raised other people's sons all this time, raising her enemy's child to be as beautiful as a flower, proficient in all arts and sciences, while her own child suffered for eighteen years...
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't do anything!" the imperial concubine retorted.
Sheng Yuan cast a spell, and the Imperial Concubine was in so much pain that she knelt on the ground.
The eldest prince kept trying to speak, but Sheng Yuan suppressed his voice with his magic.
"He's talking nonsense! He's talking nonsense! I didn't! Your Majesty, you must believe me! Your Majesty!" The Imperial Concubine was now kneeling at the Emperor's feet, completely disregarding her image.
The emperor couldn't recall anyone named Zhao, but he wasn't stupid; he had the evidence and their statements.
"Get out!" the emperor kicked her away.
When the emperor was about to execute them, Sheng Yuan performed the ritual.
The imperial concubines instantly curled up, and black mist burst forth from their bodies, only to be shattered by the blue beam of magic and vanish in an instant.
Even without the support of evil forces, the erosion brought by those forces remains.
