Emperor Ren De helped the Queen stand up from the edge of the bed.

"You are overworked now, you need to rest well."

"If you want to see Jing'er tonight, I won't stop you."

The Queen said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"I am just too concerned about the prince's health."

After a while, the eunuch's voice was heard outside.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin is here."

"Yes, come and see the queen."

The Queen's face darkened slightly, and she turned and looked at Emperor Ren De with pretended calmness.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen the Prince of Jin since he was crowned king."

"This child has a miserable life. It's not easy for him to return to your majesty."

Emperor Ren De narrowed his eyes and looked at the eunuch outside the door.

"Let Prince Jin come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch turned around and went to the front yard to bring in Prince Jin.

Zhang Huaian, wearing a purple satin robe and a silver crown to tie his hair, strode to the Fengluan Palace and saw Emperor Ren De and the Empress were there.

He walked up to Emperor Ren De and the Empress, "Your son pays homage to your mother, and your father."

"An'er, please get up and come to your mother. No need to be polite."

The queen looked kind and told the maid to give him a seat.

After Zhang Huaian sat on the chair, he clenched his fists slightly under his sleeves, but forced a smile on his face.

"It is a blessing for our Great Yan royal family that An'er has been named King of Jin."

"Your Majesty, I didn't think An'er and Che'er looked alike before, but now the more I look at them, the more they look alike."

"Since they are your Majesty's children, I will treat them as my own."

Emperor Ren De smiled and said, "Although the two brothers look alike, their personalities are very different."

The little palace maid brought the best Longjing tea and poured it for Zhang Huaian.

The Queen held the teacup in her hand and asked deliberately, "My mother also heard about the incident at the Dali Temple last time."

"I didn't expect that the Dali Temple Minister was so confused. In order to close the case as quickly as possible, he actually hurt An'er."

He looked at Zhang Huaian tentatively, "An'er, can you tell me now why you went to the south of Wanfu Temple that day?"

Zhang Huaian's face was calm and he put down the teacup in his hand.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that there is a lake to the south of Wanfu Temple, and the lotus flowers in the lake are in full bloom."

"I originally intended to pick some for Li'er, but I didn't expect that before I finished picking, the Wanfu Temple caught fire."

"I didn't expect that my mother was also in the South Courtyard. Duke Lin really came to the rescue in time."

"Before I could even go in, he helped my mother out."

The Queen's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly and she forced a smile.

"So that's it."

"An'er is deeply in love with Miss Shen."

Zhang Huaian nodded slightly, "I heard that mother has been overworked these days. Now that my brother has woken up, mother can rest assured."

"Mother, please take care of yourself."

Queen: "Thank you for your concern."

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat solemn.

Emperor Ren De sat on the chair, and seemed to realize that Zhang Huaian came here to find him.

He stood up from his chair, "Now, it's getting late."

"The Queen still needs to go to the East Palace to see the Crown Prince. I will go to the Imperial Study first."

"An'er, let's go to the study."

"Yes, Father."

Zhang Huai stood up and saluted the queen.

"I will take my leave first, mother."

After watching Emperor Ren De and Zhang Huaian leave Fengluan Palace, the Queen gave instructions to Nanny Zhang beside her.

"Hurry up and prepare the carriage for me. I am going to the East Palace."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhang Huaian followed Emperor Ren De out of the Fengluan Palace and went straight to the study.

Emperor Rende glanced at him sideways, "An'er, do you have something to say?"

Zhang Huaian was silent for a moment, then finally spoke.

"Father, I had someone inquire about the place where my deceased brother was buried when my mother gave birth to me."

"I have gained some clues in the past few days. I want to tell my father about this burial place."

Emperor Ren De's eyes changed slightly, "Why didn't you tell her in the Queen's bedroom? Could it be that you were afraid that the Queen would know?"

Zhang Huaian shook his head, "That's not the case. My mother is very busy with the Crown Prince's affairs and is still unconscious."

"I finally woke up. How dare I let this matter make my mother worry."

After the father and son entered the imperial study, Emperor Rende sat down on the dragon throne.

Zhang Huaian sat on a chair beside the imperial study.

Emperor Rende: "Do you know where the child was buried?"

"When I heard that it was a baby girl and your mother died giving birth to her, I felt sad and let the nanny do whatever she wanted with her."

"Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful."

Zhang Huaian said: "It's been so many years since the incident, Father, don't blame yourself."

"Now I can only go and pay my respects and make up for it."

Emperor Ren De smiled.

"You, child, are more docile than King Rui."

"If it were Prince Rui, he would definitely hold me to death."

Zhang Huaian sat in the chair with his hands slightly clenched.

"Prince Rui is my brother. He suffered a lot in Li Country. It's normal for him to have a weird temper."

Emperor Ren De put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Although you are his brother, he is gentle to you and will not do anything excessive to you."

"Now, this is very good."

"You haven't told me where the child is buried."

Zhang Huaian said, "I asked people to find out and found the place where the nanny who delivered my mother lived."

"Mammy has passed away, but she still has a son. It is said that the little prince was buried in the suburbs of the city."

"The nanny who was in charge of delivering my mother back then was reluctant to give up the little prince, so she invited some Taoist priests to find a Feng Shui treasured site and buried him in the suburbs and west of the city."

Emperor Ren De looked calm.

"Suburbs and west of the city?"

"It's really hard for that child. He died so early."

He sighed, "It's my fault. I killed him."

Zhang Huaian said: "Father, why do you have to blame yourself like this?"

"He has already gone. If your Majesty feels bad about it, you can go with me to pay homage."

"Yesterday, I consulted the Imperial Observatory and found that tomorrow is a good day for worship."

Emperor Rende sighed, "Well, let the Ministry of Rites prepare it tomorrow, and come with me to pay homage."

"Yes, Father."

Zhang Huaian's eyes changed slightly and he forced a smile on his face.

"Father, my brother has just recovered from his illness, so I won't bother him tomorrow."

"An'er is right." Emperor Rende said to Eunuch Lai Fu beside him, "Go to the East Palace and inform the Queen to go with me to worship tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Zhang Huaian left the imperial study, he went out of the palace, got on the carriage, and headed towards the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

At this moment, the East Palace.

'Snapped! '

A crisp sound was heard in the inner hall of the East Palace.

The prince covered his face tightly and turned to look at the queen viciously.

"Mother, you beat me for that bastard?"

The queen trembled, her voice cold, "I didn't expect you to be so cruel!"

"Even if you don't want to recognize him, what's wrong with saving his life? Why do you want to let him die with thousands of arrows piercing his heart!"

"My dearest blood. You and he are my dearest blood."

"Why are you so cruel!"

The prince gritted his teeth, his face livid: "My son, I don't have a real brother!"

"I am of the royal bloodline of Dayan, not some lowly creature like others."

"If your majesty wants your son to ascend the throne, you should kill him as soon as possible."

As soon as the prince finished speaking, the queen reached out and slapped him hard in the face.

"You're ridiculous!"

"You are absolutely crazy!"

The prince took a deep breath and sat down casually on the chair.

"Mother, why don't you think about it? If his identity is discovered, you will be doomed."

"I killed him, first to protect myself, and secondly to protect you, the queen."

"If someone finds out and uses him to threaten my mother, how will I deal with it?"

"Besides, why do you treat Shen Shu like this?"

"You clearly know that she is the woman whom I love most."

The queen was shaking with anger, thinking about how Lan Ci had been so sensible in the past and how she had died so miserably, her heart was bleeding.

"Jing'er, he is also the Queen Mother's child."

"He is also my dearest love. How can you hurt my heart?"

"Wuwuwu...Ci'er, Ci'er."

Seeing the queen crying sadly, the prince stood up, walked to her side and helped her sit down.

"Don't be sad, mother. I will be filial to you in the future and will never let you suffer any injustice."

"Even though he is gone, I will find a way to bury him properly."

"I am only concerned about the safety of my mother."
