Chapter 246 Brother, I'm sorry! It was Jinxiu who forgot the way home
Emperor Jianing, Jun Jingli, ascended the throne at the age of thirty and named Crown Princess Cheng Shiyin as Empress.
Cheng Shiyin was the daughter of the prime minister of the time. They lived a happy and loving life after marriage. They gave birth to a son named Jun Mingyu. As soon as he was born, he was canonized as the crown prince by the then Emperor Xuanyuan and was brought up by his side.
As the crown prince, Jun Jingli had only this one son, but he withstood the heavy pressure from court ministers and insisted on not taking a concubine.
Crown Princess Cheng Shiyin was once the object of envy and jealousy of all the noble ladies in the capital.
Since the emperor attached great importance to the legitimate status of the prince, and the prince himself was very capable, proficient in both civil and military strategies, and had the support of his father-in-law, the prime minister, he was not abolished even though he had only one son.
In the end, Jun Jingli successfully ascended the throne and became an emperor.
After Jun Jingli ascended the throne, he named the ten-year-old crown prince Jun Mingyu as the crown prince and let him live in the Eastern Palace.
Because Jun Jingli had only this one son, who was born to the queen. He was carefully cultivated by the old emperor as a successor since he was a child. He was quick-witted and intelligent, and he had shown extraordinary talent at a young age.
He showed a calmness and decisiveness far beyond his peers, and was able to quickly analyze the situation and make wise decisions. At the age of ten, he had already shown the potential to become a wise ruler.
Therefore, the court officials had no objection to Jun Mingyu being named the Crown Prince.
In the second year after Jun Jingli ascended the throne, Anyibo Yu Desheng, brought his long-missing daughter Yu Pingting and a little boy of eight or nine years old to ask for an audience with the emperor. After being brought into the palace, Yu Desheng revealed the identity of the little boy.
According to him, the boy was born to his daughter Yu Pingting. Nine years ago, Yu Desheng was the General of Zhennan, and his family lived with him in the general's mansion in the border town of Zhennan.
That year, the southern Xinjiang invaded the border, and the prince led the army in person, but was betrayed by a spy and fell into a trap. He was besieged by the southern Xinjiang troops and trapped in the mountains. The guards around him died one after another in front of him in order to save the prince.
The prince was escorted by his personal guards and hid all the way, but was rescued by Wu Chuandao and his sister, who came with troops to support him. He fainted completely when he saw the reinforcements coming.
Later, according to Yu Desheng's report, the spy had been caught and executed. At that time, he was unconscious because he was poisoned by the love poison.
The poison must be removed by a virgin woman. At that time, the prince was unconscious and his life would be in danger if the poison was not removed in time.
Therefore, for his safety, Yu Chuanchuan did not dare to delay, so he could only ask his sister who came with him to detoxify the prince.
While they were removing the poison, the soldiers from Southern Xinjiang were still looking for them. In order to save the prince, they took the prince who had been removed and prepared to escape as soon as possible. During the escape, they were still found by the soldiers from Southern Xinjiang, and Yu Pingting accidentally disappeared during the fight with them.
After the prince escaped from danger, he ordered the Zhennan Army to attack the Southern Xinjiang Army with all their might. In just two months, the Dazhao Army won a great victory.
When the crown prince returned to the capital, the emperor rewarded all the generals. Yu Desheng, the Earl of Anyi, was also named Marquis of Anyi for his contribution in saving the crown prince.
Now, as an emperor, Jun Jingli has forgotten about the detoxification.
The sudden appearance of this woman and child made him at a loss, and he recalled his past events in southern Xinjiang.
As for why Yu Pingting came to see him eight years later, the Yu family explained that Yu Pingting was rescued by someone and lost her memory at that time, and only recently recovered her memory and came back.
Jun Jingli sent someone to investigate, and the results were the same as what the Yu family said. The child was 50% similar to Jun Jingli, and the results of the special royal identification method also proved that he was his biological son.
Jun Jingli had to admit it under pressure, and because Yu Pingting saved his life, he had no choice but to make Yu Pingting a concubine.
This was an opening for the harem, and many ministers were ready to send their daughters into the harem.
The Queen was very grateful to Concubine Yu for saving the Emperor's life, and she took good care of her and her son.
The entry of the second prince and his mother into the palace did not affect the relationship between the emperor and the empress.
Later, for some unknown reason, the queen's health became worse and worse, and she avoided the emperor for a long time. The emperor also gradually neglected the queen and made Yu Pingting a noble concubine.
The queen was in poor health as an excuse to let the imperial concubine manage the affairs of the harem.
Not long after, news spread that a fire had broken out in the Queen's palace.
Because, according to the ancestral system of the Zhao Dynasty, apart from the ceremonial guards of the emperor and the future crown prince, the main gate of the pass could only be opened for passage by the wedding procession led by the princess who was to be married to a foreign king.
The Yunjia Village and several other villages were able to follow along only because they served as the Crown Prince's guard of honor.
Li Jinhuai rode in front to lead the way. After entering the checkpoint, he ordered his subordinates to take the other villagers to a temporary place prepared for them to settle down.
He personally led the Cheng family and the Yun family to the Duwei Mansion outside the military camp.
The Duwei Mansion is not very big, it is a small courtyard with four entrances. He usually stays in the military camp, and only comes here to stay temporarily when his wife and children come over.
When he arrived at the Duwei Mansion, Li Jinhuai dismounted and asked the servants to open the door.
"Your Highness, Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, we have arrived at the Commandant's Mansion."
Cheng Yuheng got off the carriage and said to Li Jinhuai: "My identity should not be made public. Commander Li, please call me Master Cheng!"
The carriages behind stopped one by one, and the people in the carriages got off.
A group of people, both adults and children, got off the carriage.
When they saw the words "Duwei Mansion", the second branch of the Yun family felt a little uneasy. They felt that if these peasants covered in dust entered the official residence, they would make such a good place dirty.
After getting off the car, Yun Duo stood there holding Li Xiuxiu's arm.
Ever since Li Xiuxiu got off the car, Li Jinhuai has never taken his eyes off her. She is his sister. Her appearance has not changed much over the years, and one can still vaguely see her shadow as a girl.
He walked slowly to Li Xiuxiu, staring at her face intently, his eyes gradually filled with tears.
The woman in front of him was his long-lost sister. Her once familiar features and outline now seemed a little strange, yet at the same time intimate.
This is the sister he has been thinking about and searching for for eighteen years. Time flies so fast. The gentle and beautiful girl back then now has a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes and has become more mature and stable.
He couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to hold his sister's hand and feel her warmth. However, when he saw the strange look in his sister's eyes when she looked at him, he couldn't help but retract his hand.
A complex emotion surged in his heart, both joy and nervousness.
He took a deep breath and spoke carefully: "Jinxiu, brother finally found you. I have been looking for you all these years, for a full eighteen years..."
At this point, Li Jinhuai's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he choked with sobs and could no longer speak.
Although Li Xiuxiu had lost her memory, when she saw that Li Jinhuai looked 50% similar to her and cried, she felt close to him and her heart trembled violently.
Her eyes were also filled with tears and she choked up as she said, "Brother, I'm sorry. It was Jinxiu who forgot the way home and made father, mother and brother worry."
