Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

The old eunuch looked at the worried emperor and felt uneasy. The prince had returned to the palace and made great contributions, so he should have been valued, but now a great prince suddenly appeared.

The emperor's attitude towards the prince was cold, as if he had been forgotten. If this situation continued, the prince would be like being locked up in the cold palace.

He sincerely hoped that the prince could obtain the status he deserved, because the prince was not only outstanding in talent and intelligence, but also had a deep understanding of state affairs, and was the best candidate to inherit the throne.

As for the eldest prince... there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the second young master Shen is the eldest prince. Concubine Luo's son died young and was buried by the emperor himself. How could he be resurrected?

The old eunuch stared at the emperor, and finally chose to remain silent and stood quietly aside. The emperor was absent-minded and unable to concentrate on handling government affairs.

At this time, news came from outside the door that Jiang You wanted to see him.

The emperor immediately perked up.

"Let him in!"

Jiang You walked in and bowed.

"What are the results of the investigation?" the emperor asked anxiously.

Jiang You nodded: "Your Majesty, according to our investigation, the Second Young Master Shen is most likely the eldest prince."

The clues that were once interrupted are now finally clear.

The emperor's hands trembled slightly, and his voice trembled a little: "Are you sure what you said is true?"

"Yes."

Jiang You reported everything he found out.

It turns out that Shen Siyan was the eldest prince who was secretly sent out of the palace many years ago.

According to many clues, the old nanny in the palace took the risk to take the baby out, which saved the eldest prince's life and allowed him to grow up safely.

"So he is really the son of me and Rong'er!" The emperor's voice was obviously trembling.

The old eunuch at the side was silent for a long time, and suggested:

"Your Majesty, perhaps you can summon Madam Shen and ask her about this. If the Second Young Master Shen is not his biological son, why has it not been known to the outside world for so many years?"

The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, it is puzzling why the Shen family would raise a child who is not related by blood.

So the emperor immediately ordered a summons for Mrs. Shen.

When Mrs. Shen heard the eunuch's call, she was so excited that her cheeks flushed involuntarily.

Finally, this moment has come! The Emperor knows Shen Siyan's true identity!

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will be ready soon." Although Mrs. Shen was in turmoil, she remained calm on the surface, knowing that the matter must be kept secret.

She quickly changed into a set of appropriate clothes and followed the eunuch into the palace.

A maid from the Shen Mansion secretly observed for a while, then hurriedly left the house to inform Lord Yin.

Lord Yin sent two maids to Madam Shen's side, both to protect her and to monitor her and Shen Siyan's movements.

The real master of these two maids is actually Mr. Yin.

After hearing the news, Elder Yin sneered a few times: "Very good, this way, our plan can be implemented ahead of schedule."

……

Madam Shen arrived at the palace and came to meet the emperor.

"Your Majesty, your servant pays homage." Madam Shen bowed respectfully, her head almost touching the ground.

The emperor looked at Madam Shen with mixed feelings in his heart. He had a lot of questions but didn't know where to start.

There was silence in the imperial study. Madam Shen felt extremely nervous, holding her handkerchief tightly in her sleeve. What was going on? Shouldn't she ask directly about the eldest prince? Why didn't she speak up?

The silence was unsettling.

Mrs. Shen was very nervous, worried that something unexpected might happen.

Time seemed to stand still. Mrs. Shen's legs were a little numb from standing for a long time, but she did not dare to move at all and waited quietly for the emperor's questions.

The emperor said to Madam Shen: "I have a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."

Madam Shen immediately bowed her head and replied, "Your Majesty, please ask, and I will answer truthfully."

"Shen Siyan, the second son of the Shen family, is he your biological child?" the emperor asked directly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen's body trembled slightly. On the surface, she seemed to be stunned by surprise.

But in fact, she was excited in her heart, and she almost smiled. She thought, it's finally here, the emperor must have known Shen Siyan's true background!

Madam Shen tried to calm herself down and took a few deep breaths before speaking: "This... your servant..."

"Tell me the truth, how serious will the consequences be if you lie to me?" The emperor's eyes turned cold and his expression was serious.

"I dare not!" Mrs. Shen's face changed and she knelt down quickly.

"I have no intention of deceiving others!"

"Si Yan is not my biological son. I treat him as my own because I feel pity for him being alone and helpless." Mrs. Shen raised her head with some doubt in her eyes.

"How did the Emperor know about this?"

After hearing this, the emperor felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

So that's how it is. Shen Siyan is indeed not a blood relative of the Shen family. This further confirmed his guess in his mind - Shen Siyan is undoubtedly the eldest prince.

"When did you adopt him?" the emperor asked.

Mrs. Shen thought for a moment and replied, "It was twenty-three years ago."

"Why do you remember it so clearly?"

Madam Shen's eyes darkened, and she said softly, "That's because I was pregnant with my second child at the time. Unfortunately, the child was not born safely."

Mrs. Shen didn't say anything else, and a sad mood filled the air.

"That night, the master brought back an abandoned child and placed him in front of our house. I felt that this was compensation from God, so I raised him as my own child."

After hearing this, the emperor's expression became complicated, his heart was in turmoil, he opened his mouth several times and hesitated, finally uttering a few words softly:

"You did very well!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. That child does have a tragic fate. Alas."

Madam Shen sighed, while also paying attention to the emperor's reaction, wondering when the emperor would reveal Shen Siyan's true identity.

The emperor then asked, "Do you know who Shen Siyan's biological parents are?"

"I don't know."

Mrs. Shen shook her head: "When the master was alive, he tried to find his biological parents, but there was no clue."

"Si Yan is a child with an unfortunate fate. I hope Your Majesty can keep it a secret and take good care of him. In my heart, he is no different from my own son."

As Mrs. Shen spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, which she wiped gently with a handkerchief.

Although she seemed sad about Shen Siyan's fate, Mrs. Shen had other plans in mind.

She knew that Shen Siyan was the son of the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Luo, and showing such maternal love would only make the emperor more satisfied with her.

Sure enough, after hearing what Mrs. Shen said, the emperor's expression relaxed, a gentle light appeared in his eyes, and a huge stone in his heart fell to the ground.

He had always been worried that Rong'er's child was not living well, but now it seems that this worry was unnecessary.

If Rong'er were still alive, she would be extremely relieved to see her child safe and healthy.
