After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

This sentence left the emperor speechless, leaving only embarrassment.

Yan Mu's background was a stain on the emperor. He insulted the wife of a minister, but the minister still fought for him and defended his loyal minister on the river. Later, for the sake of face, he blindly raped the whole family of this minister.

The emperor was just embarrassed, but Yan Mu became a clown here and could be ridiculed by everyone.

But he still stood there with his back straight, with a nonchalant smile on his face, "Whether I am the son of the emperor, the emperor's grandmother knows best. You can ask her."

Prince Junping's face sank. The Queen Mother had passed away. Do you want him to die too?

How could this old man be willing to suffer such a loss? He was about to reprimand Yan Mu at this moment. The emperor intervened: "When my mother passed away, I always thought of my uncle and wanted to see you for the last time. Unfortunately, there has been no news from my uncle in these years since he left Beijing. I Even if I want to send you a message, I can’t help but let my mother go away with regrets.”

These words somewhat meant to criticize him, and Prince Shunping could only pretend not to understand, and couldn't help sighing, "The emperor's sister-in-law treated me with great kindness. When I heard the news back then, I was extremely sad. Now I come back also to visit the emperor." Worship before my sister-in-law’s spirit.”

Yan Mu said calmly: "The imperial grandmother once told me that Prince Shunping went to the battlefield at a young age, fought in the east and west, and made great contributions to Da Rong."

Prince Junping stroked his beard and felt a little proud: "The emperor's sister-in-law is too modest. I have been fighting for more than 20 years. Although I do not always win every battle, I am also the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces who makes the enemy afraid."

"It's just a pity."

Prince Junping frowned, "What's a pity?"

"Every time the imperial grandmother mentioned it, she felt very heartbroken. She said that the emperor's uncle was injured in the war, never married, and had no heirs." As he spoke, Yan Mu sighed.

When he said this, everyone including Prince Junpei was shocked.

The emperor was even more heartbroken: "It turns out that the reason why the emperor's uncle doesn't marry a wife or have children is... because he is disabled."

King Shunping Qin slapped the table: "Nonsense..."

"This is what the imperial grandmother said." Yan Mu said.

"I... I mean, I have no disability at all. The reason I don't marry is because I see through the world of mortals. I..."

"Uncle Emperor, stop talking, we all understand." The emperor waved his hands sadly.

"I am a five-foot man, a real man. I...I have no problem!"

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Uncle, do you want to find out your true identity?"

When the old prince heard this, he knew that Yan Mu had done it on purpose, and he was so angry that his beard blew wildly.

He suppressed his breath, then smiled, and took out two shiny stones from his arms, "In these years, I have traveled almost all over the continent, from the southernmost Jin Dynasty in the south to the northernmost Jin Dynasty in the north, and to the northernmost Jin Dynasty in the east. The East China Sea, the country from west to west and farther west. I brought these two incense stones back from a small nomadic country called Hutu and put them in the stove. As the fire burns, they can emit a refreshing aroma. But they are small It’s just a toy, I thought of giving it to my grandnephew.”

As he said that, the old man stood up and gave a piece to the third prince and a piece to the fourth prince. He walked up to Yan Mu, spread his hands and said, "Hey, the emperor's uncle only brought back two pieces, there is nothing extra for you."

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes and said it was for his grandnephew, but it was the only one without him. He was clearly rejecting him, so don't make it too obvious.

The third and fourth princes couldn't help but show off the incense stones in their hands.

The third prince put it under his nose and smelled it: "It's really good stuff. It still smells good even without putting it in the stove."

The fourth prince also smelled it and praised: "And the fragrance is elegant and refreshing, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed, like a spring breeze."

"Hey, Lao Qi, do you want to smell it?"

"Yes, you have never seen such a strange stone, right?"

The third and fourth elders smiled so proudly that they all raised their hands for Yan Mu to hear. Yan Mu retreated again and again, and the two of them chased him.

Liu Yunxiang retched and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, "Your Highnesses, can you take this stone farther away? I smell disgusting."

As soon as these words came out, the smiles on Prince Junping and the two princes' faces froze.

Prince Junping's old face wrinkled, "Princess Zhenbei, what do you mean? Is it possible that your Highness is missing something, and you feel uncomfortable?"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly explained: "No, no, the emperor's uncle misunderstood."

"Then what makes you disgusted?"

"This……"

"Humph, there are no rules at all!"

Liu Yunxiang sighed and said helplessly: "This Hutu is a nomadic tribe where witchcraft is prevalent, and the incense stone is a spiritual stone worn by witches to purify their own turbidity. Uncle Emperor, am I right?" "

Prince Junping stroked his beard and said, "You do have some perspective."

"However, this incense stone is not naturally fragrant. It is a sky stone that fell to the ground and was soaked in hundreds of spices. The fragrant soup needs to be changed every day for more than a hundred days. Because the production of this incense stone is complicated and requires There are many spices, so it is very rare.”

"Yes."

"In order to keep the aroma of the incense stone, the last step is to seal it with oil for 49-[-] days and then roast it for three days before it is made."

Prince Junping nodded with satisfaction, "I didn't expect you to know such details."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and continued: "Only a little, the oil used to seal the incense..."

The old prince raised his eyebrows, "What happened to the oil?"

"I heard that it is made by... soaking human corpses in water, waiting for them to rot, and then taking the top layer of oil to refine it."

"So the slippery thing on this stone is..." The third prince's face turned blue, and his hand holding the incense stone couldn't help but tremble, "Human oil..."

The old prince's eyes widened, "That's nonsense!"

Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue, "I just heard about it, so just think I'm talking nonsense. It's just that the incense stone is dark and evil, so it's probably not appropriate to give it to someone as a gift."

"you!"

"Oh, by the way, two princes, let's smell it again. Is this fragrance really elegant?"

The expressions of the two princes changed. Thinking of what Liu Yunxiang said just now, and then thinking of how enthusiastic they were when they touched it under their noses and smelled it, they couldn't help but feel sick at the moment.

Seeing that there was grease on his hands, he was even more disgusted and hurriedly handed it over to the servant behind him.

"Father, my son is in a hurry, so I have to retreat first!"

"My son, please go too. Third brother, please wait!"

The third prince and the fourth prince ran out one after the other, presumably to wash their hands.

Seeing that the old prince's face was extremely ugly, Liu Yunxiang lowered his head and smiled.

Coming out of the water pavilion, Yan Mu held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "Tuoba Fei'er also mentioned this incense stone to me, but she never said that the sesame oil used to seal the incense stone comes from humans."

Liu Yunxiang snickered, "It was indeed Fei'er who told me, but I just said it was hearsay. There are always truths and lies."

Yan Mu shook Liu Yunxiang's hand, "Are you venting your anger on me?"

Liu Yunxiang glanced sideways at Yan Mu, "Otherwise, why should I pay attention to that old man?"

Yan Mu smiled: "You feel sorry for me?"

"My husband, of course I feel sorry for him."

The two came out of the waterside pavilion and saw Qin Fei. After being imprisoned for several months, he was almost as skinny as a stick, walking unsteadily and so weak that a gust of wind could blow him down.

Although he was wearing gorgeous clothes, his clothes were obviously much looser, and he looked like a lonely soul floating in the night.

When he came to the steps, he raised his head and saw them. His eyes deepened and the corners of his lips slowly raised.
