As the midwife spoke, she heard Li Shi Min cursing angrily, his face filled with a vicious expression.
Immediately, the midwife did not dare to say anything else.
"You can leave!" After a long time, Li Shi Min waved his hand and said.
The midwife walked out of Taiji Palace in a panic.
"Tongueless, I don't want anyone else to know about what happened in the hall today!”Li Shi Min said after the midwife left.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tongueless responded and left.
The next morning, an unknown female corpse was found in the drainage ditch of Chang 'an.
……
"Guanyin maid, I have already investigated the matter back then!”
"It is indeed as you have thought. After the washing ceremony back then, Yan Lin and Chengqian carried the wrong person!”
"The midwife said that when Chengqian was born, he had difficulty breathing. However, after the bathing ceremony, he suddenly recovered!”
"The Crown Prince of the Great Tang has been wandering outside for seventeen years!”Li Shi Min said slowly and sighed deeply.
The Empress turned her face away, not wanting Li Shimin to see the tears in her eyes.
"Zhen wants to bring Yan Lin back to the palace. What do you think?”Li Shi Min took out a handkerchief and handed it to the Empress. "No, absolutely not!"
What surprised Li Shiming was that the Empress had rejected his proposal.
"Alright, alright, I promise you!" Li Shi Min quickly said.
He was afraid that the Empress would get angry again.
Li Shiming himself hadn't made this decision yet.
One was his own son who had been wandering outside for 17 years, and the other was the heir he had carefully nurtured for 17 years.
It had been seventeen years, Li Shi Min didn't even know how much thought he had spent on Li Chengqian.
Moreover, the officials of the court also treated Li Chengqian as the Crown Prince.
At this time, if he announced that Li Chengqian was not his legitimate son, it would be a small matter for the imperial family to lose face. The Great Tang would probably fall into a storm.
Li Shi Min didn't want to see this.
"Your Majesty, for the past seventeen years, that child Chengqian has been very filial. You and I watched him grow up.”
" As for Yan Lin, my son..." The Empress covered her eyes with both hands, her voice intermittent.
"ChenQie knows that her days are numbered…"
"Your Majesty, please listen to ChenQie." the empress said.
"Yan Lin is currently in the restaurant and is quite free. ChenQie does not want to disturb his life because of this matter.”
"Yan Lin is still young. Your Majesty, find an opportunity to bring Sun Yaowang to take a look at him.”
"Shut up. Zhen doesn't want to hear Guanyin Maid say such depressing words again.”Li Shi Min shouted coldly.
The expressions of the palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides changed, and they hurriedly knelt down.
This was the first time the Sage had spoken to the Empress in such a tone.
The Empress looked at Li Shi Min with her beautiful eyes, gently caressing his face, her eyes filled with gentleness and reluctance.
"Sun Yaowang, I met a young man at Pingkang Lane a few days ago. I had a good chat with him.”
In a side hall of the Imperial Palace, Sun Shichang was thinking of bidding farewell to the Emperor.
He did not just treat the Empress.
There were still many people in the Great Tang waiting for his treatment.
Unexpectedly, Li Shi Min came personally.
She even said something that he didn't quite understand.
Sun Shichang didn't say anything, waiting for Li Shimin to continue.
"This young man is the same as the Empress, he is also infected with Qi disease. Zhen does not want a good young man to die under such an illness, so I would like to invite Sun Yaowang to go with Zhen to take a look.”Li Shi Min continued.
" A doctor has the heart of a parent. I will do my best, but…"
"Zhen understands, Sun Yaowang will do his best.”Li Shi Min nodded, expressing his understanding.
"Then please go ahead, Your Majesty." Sun Shichang stretched out his hand and asked Li Shimin to leave first.
"Right, Sun Yaowang, this youth doesn't know my identity. He only says that I'm a merchant from Shu. You just need to treat me and don't speak nonsense.”Li Shi Min took two steps before he stopped and turned around.
Sun Shi Chang nodded, and the two of them left the palace one after another.
……
Parting outside the Rain Pavilion.
Yan Lin was sweeping the fallen leaves on the steps with a broom.
A middle-aged woman walked towards Bie Linxuan with a small bamboo basket in her hand.
The bamboo basket was covered with a few clean towels. The basket was heavy and seemed to bend the woman's arm.
"Little Brother Yan, the villagers asked this old woman to send something to Little Brother Yan.”The woman shouted at Yan Lin.
Only then did Yan Lin raise his head and notice the person who had come.
"Aunt, come in and rest." Yan Lin said with a smile. He stood at the side with a broom and invited the woman in.
The woman in front of him was Yan Lin's neighbor in Wannian County.
Usually, he would also take care of Yan Lin and Xian Shu.
"Forget about resting. This old woman still has to rush back to cook for the family.”The woman smiled and declined Yan Lin's kindness.
He placed the bamboo basket on the ground and opened the handkerchief, revealing the long red and green peppers inside.
"Little Brother Yan, fortunately, I listened to you and tried that tube cart. It's much faster than the ordinary dragon bone cart. Now, the villagers have finished watering the fields in one morning.”
"There are also some peppers that you asked us to plant. They just matured a few days ago. A wealthy merchant happened to pass by and tasted our peppers. He wanted to buy them at a high price on the spot.”
"But according to Little Brother Yan's instructions, we only sold him five catties.”
"Although we only sold five catties, each family received a lot of money. It's enough to open the box for a month.”
"The villagers all miss Little Brother Yan's kindness in their hearts. They asked the old woman to come over and say hello to Little Brother Yan.”The woman told Yan Lin about the recent events in the village with a happy face.
He looked at Yan Lin with respect.
He was also grateful for the care everyone had given him and Xian Shu during those days.
"Thank the villagers with me." Yan Lin said with a smile.
"If you want to thank someone, it should be the villagers thanking you!”The woman hurriedly said.
"Haha, it's nothing. It's almost noon, and Xian Shu is cooking in the kitchen.”Yan Lin pulled the woman and invited her in for dinner.
"Little Brother Yan, you have a guest. I'll just eat something on the way and then go back. Now, we all have some savings.”
" Brother Yan, I'm leaving. You must take care of yourself. If you're not comfortable in Chang 'an, just tell us and everyone will come to take you home."”The woman gently pulled out her arm and waved at Yan Lin, not even wanting the bamboo basket.
He looked at the person behind him and turned to leave.
However, Yan Lin was a little surprised to see the person who came.
A woman walked dozens of miles on two legs, traveling night and day just to visit Yan Lin?
Yan Lin was just a youth, how could he make others do this?
The more Li Shi Min thought about it, the more he found it hard to believe.
"Yes, but let's not talk about this. Later, I'll ask Uncle Xian to make something new for you.”Yan Lin smiled and lifted the bamboo basket, but he couldn't help but pant a little.
"I'll take care of your body!”Li Shiming stepped forward and took the bamboo basket from Yan Lin. Behind him, Sun Shichang was stunned.
He had already discovered that the person who was suffering from the Qi disease that the Emperor had mentioned was the youth in front of him.
However, the emperor personally carrying the bamboo basket for this youth seemed to be…
Sun Shichang shook his head. This had nothing to do with him. He was only here to see a doctor.
