The smile on Tao Haoting's face suddenly disappeared and he looked at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Ji also looked surprised and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

Aunt Lan stood up, came to Ye Nitang's side, and exchanged a puzzled look with Xiao Shi, saying that she didn't know why the edict came.

Shen Shining glanced around their faces, looked at the entrance and said doubtfully, "Is this an imperial edict to deal with prisoners of war?"

Ye Nitang swallowed the meatballs in his mouth and saw them getting nervous, so he joked: "Could it be an imperial decree to confer me an official title?"

"Pfft", Shen Xining laughed out loud, "You think so, my uncle's book may not be sent to the capital yet."

Xiao Shitao Haoting was also very sure that it was not a reward decree.

They know the personality of the current emperor too well.

The reward for this battle with Beixiong will be the result of next summer, which is his kindness.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Others stood up and looked at Tao Haoting and Xiao Shi.

Xiao Ji didn't move, he just sat on the main seat indifferently and ate slowly.

Shen Shining, Tao Haoting, and Ye Nitang who were sitting with him did not move either.

After a while, a middle-aged eunuch wearing a maroon eunuch's uniform walked in proudly with two young eunuchs and eight palace guards.

The chamberlain held a bright yellow scroll high in his right hand, came to Xiao Shi with a smile, and gave a very perfunctory salute.

"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't expect you to be here. So having you as your witness to today's great happy event will definitely be the icing on the cake."

Xiao Shi had a vague feeling that something was not good, and glanced at Song Zhiyan from the corner of his eye. It seemed that she was hiding something.

"Since my father asked Ge Zhongshi to come all the way here, it must be a big deal, so I will send them first and then announce the decree."

Ge Zhongshi was the second-in-command eunuch beside the emperor. His name was Ge Baolin. He was thin, white and beardless, and had a smooth look all over his body.

"There is no need to retreat. What I am going to announce today is a great event. The more people present, the better," Ge Baolin said, raising his eyes to look at Ye Nitang, looking at her deeply for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on Aunt Lan, " Oh, Lan Xi, if I had known you were coming here, I should have walked with you as your companion."

"Your Excellency, you are joking. I wonder why you are here?" Aunt Lan asked, staring at his imperial edict.

Ge Baolin's eyes returned to Ye Nitang's face again, "I'm here to take the princess home."

"Take me back?" Shen Shining and Ye Nitang sat together, meeting his gaze and asked in surprise.

When had the emperor been so careful and sent his people to come so far to pick her up?

"It's not you," Ge Baolin continued in a deliberately titillating manner, "Master Fu returned to the capital and brought back a shocking secret. When the Holy Father knew about it, he was greatly shocked and angry. He sent an old slave to bring order to the royal family and bring back the real golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family. The apple of my eye.”

This is a lot of information.

Song Zhiyan turned pale with fright and hid at the back of the crowd, not daring to raise her head.

Aunt Lan and Tao Haoting were both shocked, how did the emperor know.

Xiao Ji's eyes darkened, it seemed that A Tang's identity could no longer be concealed.

Tao Zhuoyu didn't know yet that Ye Nitang and Shen Shining had been swapped, so he felt very uncomfortable hearing these words.

He looked at Ge Baolin with a bad expression, "Why do you, Lord Attendant, have to play riddles with me and other warriors? Just tell me what you are here to do."

"Haha, the Major General is anxious. It seems that they are still hiding it from you."

After Ge Baolin said this, the smile on his face dropped and he shouted, "Ye Nitang, the daughter of Xiao Yuanying, the eldest princess of Anguo, accepts the order!"

As his words fell, time froze at this moment, and the silence in the courtyard could be heard.

When he said something about bringing order out of chaos, Shen Shining felt strange in her heart, and a sudden thought flashed through her mind, she was the one in chaos.

After hearing such a clear sentence at this moment, her heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave.

No wonder, no matter how hard she tries, she can't become a heroine like her mother. It turns out she is not her daughter.

She was so stupid. Aunt Yan was usually overly enthusiastic towards her, and Ah Tang was so much like her mother. Why didn't she think more about it and take a guess?

As for Ah Tang, did she know beforehand?

Do your mother and the prince's cousin know?

As for the father, well, he probably doesn't care about his children.

She and Achen never received his love.

Ye Nitang didn't have any emotional changes, mainly because she was not the original owner and didn't have that much affection for Ye's father and mother.

It didn't matter to her who the biological father or mother of this body was.

In her life creed, if others treat her well, she will repay them. If others dare to hurt her for no reason, she will bear the retaliation.

The main focus is on courtesy and reciprocity.

At this moment, she finally understood Song Zhiyan's abnormal behavior.

She thought again of the story Tao Haoting told her last time about the eldest princess and Prince Mo.

It seemed that he and Xiao Shi had known about it for a long time, so why did they hide it from her?

She raised her eyes to look at Ye Jiaxing and was shocked to see him. She thought he didn't know about it.

She looked at Tao Haoting again, and met his apologetic and loving eyes. The answer was self-evident.

They already knew it.

She looked back at Shen Shining, who was staring blankly at her, and gave her a comforting and warm smile.

The hair from last time should be A Ning's.

Song Zhiyan was quite playful and gave the child she had with Lord Shen Wu to the eldest princess to raise.

And she seemed to be very kind to the original owner, but she taught her to go to waste.

I wonder what grudge she has against the eldest princess?

Ge Baolin saw that everyone was as frightened as he expected, laughed very badly, and shouted again, "Please Ye Nitang, the daughter of Princess An, Xiao Yuanying, accept the order!"

Tao Haoting stood up first and looked at Ye Nitang, "Tang'er, follow your uncle to receive the order."

Ye Nitang gritted her teeth and wailed in her heart. She really didn't want to kneel down and kowtow.

But everyone was looking at her, so she could only stand up, come to Tao Haoting's side and lower her head without saying anything.

Ge Baolin opened the imperial edict with his head held high and shouted again: "Ye Nitang, the daughter of Xiao Yuanying, the eldest princess of Anguo, accepts the edict!"

Tao Haoting took the lead in kneeling down. Ye Nitang was so unhappy that she could only kneel behind him and listen to the crowd shouting: "Long live my emperor!"

Only Xiao Shi only bowed and saluted without shouting slogans.

Ge Baolin stopped acting like a monster and read out the imperial edict loudly: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven. The edict says that it has been verified that Ye Nitang, the daughter of Ye Jiaxing in Liuhe Town, Leyuan County, is the daughter of the current princess of Anguo. She was a lowly maid of the Shen family twenty years ago. Yanzhi replaced her with her own daughter Shen Shining, causing the royal bloodline to flow among the people for twenty years. Now I have set things right and welcomed back Ye Nitang, the daughter of the real Princess Anguo, hereby express my gratitude."

After he finished reading, Xiao Shi and Aunt Lan Tao Haoting's expressions turned cold. Since the emperor knew about this, why didn't he punish Song Zhiyan? And shouldn't Shen Xining's title be removed?

Ge Baolin held the imperial edict, looked at Ye Nitang and smiled, "Princess, accept the edict!"

Ye Nitang didn't show any pretense. He stood up and took the imperial edict in a graceful manner, "Thank you, sir."
