When Song Xuan Wang came to Song Lingyi's room, the crying sounds that Song Lingyi was crying had lessened, but he was still lying on the bed stubbornly. Song Xuan Wang sighed and sat beside Song Lingyi, "Ling Yi, don't cry, grandfather is right beside you, if Ling Yi has anything she wants to say to grandfather, it's fine."

"Grandfather, didn't you say that the throne could attract him? But why is it that he didn't react to me at all? Why does he seem to not care about this matter at all?

"Alright Ling Yi, Grandfather will help you take responsibility for this matter. One day, that Mu Yefan will come and beg you personally, at that time, Grandfather will definitely vent his anger on you."

Only then did Song Lingyi's expression relax, she hugged Song Xuan Wang's neck and started acting spoiled, "It's still grandpa that treats me better, other than grandpa, no one else treats Ling Yi better."

"Is the His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts not good for Ling Yi?"

Song Lingyi pouted. "Ever since Mu Yefan came back, the Hero King never came to find me again."

Song Xuan Wang nodded his head to express that he understood, but the calculations in his heart had begun. He would definitely punish those who did not think much of his granddaughter.

A few days later, without knowing why, the streets and alleys suddenly began to spread a rumor that the Mu Yefan that Mu Haolin thought of as his foster son was neither born in the First Emperor, nor had any relationship with the current Mu Haolin. It was said that this Mu Yefan was born from the First Emperor's Queen and had been cheated by others.

The palace maids and eunuchs did not know the truth, so when the news was spread, it spread like wildfire. By the time Mu Haolin wanted to control the news, it had already spread throughout the entire imperial palace.

When Mu Haolin went up to court, the crowd became even more excited, especially with Song Xuan Wang as the leader, Mu Haolin frowned and only said a few words to Xiao Shunzi before turning around and leaving, but this did not attract anyone's attention, since he was just an insignificant little eunuch.

After Mu Haolin sat down, he looked down at the excited officials and laughed, "Why are all your beloved officials so excited?"

"This subject heard that Mu Yefan was not the son of the First Emperor, but was born from the First Emperor Queen and an outsider, so he did not have royal blood. But this subject knew that the emperor still wanted to call Mu Yefan the crown prince, so this subject could not let the emperor deceive you."

"Deceived?" Mu Haolin laughed, "My liaisons are really worried for us, we remember Song Xuan Wang and your granddaughter are engaged, why are you the first one to believe this news?"

"This old subject is worried because of the engagement between this old subject's granddaughter and King of Mu. This old subject knows that this royal bloodline cannot be underestimated, so I hope that the emperor can observe it clearly. If this For the king his royal highness really does not have the bloodline of the royal family, then even if this old subject does not want this old subject's name as his granddaughter, I still have to prove it to the royal family."

"I am very pleased with the heart of the Song Xuan Wang." Mu Haolin took a step forward, and suddenly sighed: "I originally thought that I could hide this matter for a while longer, but now it seems that I can't hide it anymore."

Song Xuan Wang's face slightly changed. Originally, he wanted to spread the news that Mu Haolin definitely would not tell them the truth, but now, it seemed that Mu Haolin was going to go all out and throw caution to the wind.

"I initially did not want to bring this matter to the court, but now that things have developed to this point, I know that it is impossible for us to not say it. Mu Yefan is indeed the Queen of First Emperor's illegitimate child and not his child, so Mu Yefan's father is actually me."

These words caused a thousand ripples, and the officials were all shocked, unable to believe that this was actually the case. On the other hand, they did not expect that the emperor would do something like this in his later years to ruin their good name.

On one hand, it is for the sake of First Emperor's good name and on the other hand, it is for our own selfishness. After all, this matter is not very honorable, but since we have said it today, we are not afraid of being scolded by tens of thousands of people, after this matter, we will immediately write a Sin Judgement, and I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. As for the rest of the matters, I believe that all of our loved ones do not want to hear the story of our love after First Emperor, right?

"This official dares not."

"Mu Yefan is our biological son, this matter has already been certified by us as such. At that time, the Braveheart King was also here, and it was a good opportunity for us to announce it to the world. Mu Yefan is our son after all, so the position of crown prince belongs to him."

Mu Yefan and Mu Beiche were both in the imperial court, when Mu Yefan heard the crowd criticizing him, he thought that this might really be the end of the matter, but he never thought that Mu Haolin would actually risk his own reputation and protect him, furthermore, he was determined to give the position of crown prince to him, causing Mu Yefan's expression to become complicated, but the people around him, including Mu Beiche, had all knelt down.

"Your subject greets the crown prince."

"Alright, let's leave this matter at this for now. If there are any objections, you can continue speaking with me. Does Song Xuan Wang have any other opinions?"

"This old official dares not."

"Withdraw."

"Long live the Emperor, long live and long live, long live His Highness, long live and long live."

When he returned to the bedchamber, Mu Haolin asked, "Did everything go smoothly?"

"It went smoothly. The had already been invited by the empress dowager, and now we're talking to the empress dowager together. The Miss Song is extremely infuriated by the empress dowager."

"I've long heard that Yi Xuan's scolding skills are extremely strong, and now I'll let this Song Lingyi have a good time."

"Then what does the Emperor intend to do with the Song Xuan Wang?"

"Since we had the empress dowager invite Song Lingyi here in her own name, does his Song Xuan Wang feel that this matter can now be resolved? Don't think that you can play around with us now that you've helped us all those years ago."

"Please calm your anger, your Imperial Majesty."

"Does he think that Mu Yefan can be touched by him?"

"Then what does the Emperor want to do now?"

"Don't do anything. Go back and rest. Wait for Song Xuan Wang to come knocking."

When Song Lingyi was invited to the empress dowager's palace, she had thought that the empress dowager would have something to say to him, but the person she saw at that place was actually Bai Yixuan.

On one hand, it was to treat the empress dowager's illness. On the other hand, the empress dowager didn't want him to leave, so when Bai Yixuan saw that Song Lingyi also felt that this matter was very mysterious, and that she had also heard the rumors that came from all over the place, it was only after the empress dowager had told herself that she knew that it was all done by the Song Xuan Wang. It was only Song Lingyi's grandfather who intentionally wanted to harm Mu Yefan.

"Why are you here?" When Song Lingyi saw Bai Yixuan's threatening tone that day, she felt extremely infuriated. Bai Yixuan laughed, "I have been here the entire time, but I would like to ask, why are you here?"

"The Empress summoned me."

Bai Yixuan nodded in understanding, "It seems like something like that happened, but the empress dowager only summoned you. It's best if this little servant girl goes out via her bedchamber."

"You … What status do you think you have? Why did you let my servant girl out?"

Bai Yixuan nodded, then looked at the little eunuch beside him and asked, "Tell me about my identity."

"You are the Princess Xuanxuan's highness."

"Did you hear that, I am Your Highness." Bai Yixuan laughed complacently.

"Do you really think you're a princess?

"If it's not me, then it's me. Do you really think that the emperor's words are lies?"

"You." Song Lingyi's words were not as effective as Bai Yixuan's, and now, shshetruly felt that things had gone smoothly. Back then, when she used her own identity to suppress Bai Yixuan, he was instead suppressed by Bai Yixuan's identity, which caused Song Lingyi to become extremely mad.

"Your Highness, this servant is the Miss's personal servant girl. The Prince ordered that I am not allowed to take even half a step away from the Miss."

Bai Yixuan continued to laugh, "So it's like that, then, do you still want to taste my silver needles before leaving? Don't think that I don't know who you are, you're not just some ordinary little servant girl, if I'm not mistaken, Song Lingyi should be someone your grandfather sent to specially monitor you."

Song Lingyi turned her head and asked Qian Ning in disbelief, "What she said is true."

"No, young lady. Your highness is just worried about your safety."

"No wonder, no matter what I do, I will always let grandpa know. So it turns out that I have a little traitor by my side, get out of here."

"But miss?"

"Get out."

"Song Lingyi, you're too fierce, treating your little servant like this, your little servant girl is also doing her best for you, after following you for so long, you still have to endure your bad temper."

"I want to see Her Majesty."

"The empress dowager is sleeping in her room. You can go if you want to."

"Bai Yixuan, don't think that your identity is so impressive. Why did you call me over to the empress dowager's place?"

"Of course it's to restrain your cute grandfather. The emperor has a foresight. Didn't you say your grandfather loves you the most?"

"Bai Yixuan, you are going too far."

"Please call me Your Highness, otherwise I will be angry. The result of my anger is probably just shooting out a few needles for you to see."

"Xiao Bai, it's done." The empress dowager could not bear to listen any longer and walked out of the house. Although she had never had any good impression of Song Lingyi, he was still capable of fighting, and had made the little girl speechless.

"Ling Yi, stay with Wailing Home for the time being. Xiao Bai, talk less, and get along well with Ling Yi."

"Of course I'll get along with her." Bai Yixuan laughed, "Royal Grandmother, how do you feel today? I will send someone to prepare a medicinal bath for you later."

"It's been hard on you."

Seeing that the relationship between Bai Yixuan and the empress dowager was extremely intimate, Song Lingyi finally felt wronged. For so many years, she had always been the center of attention amongst the crowd and was the favored child of the heavens, whether it was as a prince or as a general. Why did all of this change after Bai Yixuan appeared?

Since the empress dowager had said it like that, Bai Yixuan naturally wouldn't bother with Song Lingyi. Originally, Song Lingyi was angry because Song Lingyi's grandfather actually dared to deal with Mu Yefan, so she was angry, and this Song Xuan Wang must have stabbed Mu Yefan quite a few times in the back when dealing with the little girl.

On the other hand, when Song Xuan Wang returned and found out that his granddaughter had been invited to the palace by the empress dowager, he was immediately enraged. He really did not think that Mu Haolin was able to do this kind of thing for Mu Yefan, even though he clearly thought that the relationship between Mu Yefan and Mu Yefan was not that good.
