Suddenly, Emperor Renzong received the news that Xie Yan was diagnosed with heart disease by the imperial physician.
It is normal for people to get sick if they eat whole grains.
Xie Yan was a child taught by Xie Yunping himself, and Emperor Renzong did not expect his nephew to be very kind to him.
In order to show his concern and show it to the old-fashioned people in the clan, Emperor Renzong asked Pei Yuanzheng to make another trip.
After Pei Yuanzheng returned, he replied to Emperor Renzong that Xie Yan was indeed suffering from heart disease.
Because he wanted to rest at home, Xie Yan resigned from his position as commander of the Military and Horse Division. Three days later, King Xian sent Xie Yan to the hot spring village of Prince Xian's mansion outside the city.
No one paid any attention to this matter.
Xianwang's hot spring resort has hot springs and a very quiet environment, which is really suitable for rest.
The Crown Princess Xiao Jin also went over to take care of her.
After all, the New Year is coming soon. No matter the palace, the aristocratic families in the capital, or the common people, they are all busy preparing for the New Year, and no one pays attention to Xie Yan.
Sickness, treatment, and recuperation are all normal things.
Princess Wen and Crown Princess Xiao Jin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, could not wait to shed tears every day. How could a good person suddenly become mentally ill?
However, after taking the imperial doctor's medicine in the past two days, Xie Yan was obviously much better, but his face was still a little pale.
As the New Year approaches, there are many things to take care of in the palace, so Xiao Jin, the Crown Prince's concubine, returns to the palace again. She cannot let her mother-in-law worry about matters in the palace.
Princess Wen was worried, so she stayed in Hot Spring Village.
Anyway, there is still his youngest son Xie Jing at home.
The handling of affairs in the palace has long been left to Xiao Jin. With Xie Jing on his side, there will be no rush.
Everything couldn't seem more peaceful.
On this day, in a secret room in the hot spring village, two young people stared at each other for a cup of tea.
Xie Yan looked at the young man who looked exactly like himself in front of him, and felt as if a huge wave had set off in his heart.
who is he?
Why does he look exactly like me?
However, his eyes looked a little gloomy, and Xie Yan swore that he had never seen this person before.
On the other hand, the young man opposite him was much calmer.
He seemed to have known it for a long time, but he didn't say anything and just sat quietly opposite.
The time was really torturous, and when Prince Xie could hardly stand it any longer, the door to the secret room finally opened, and the wise king walked in.
When the two people saw the wise king coming in, they stood up together.
Xie Yan saw the young man opposite smiled and said, "Are you here?"
When Xie Yan heard the young man talking, he couldn't help but tremble. What's that voice?
He turned his head stiffly and looked at his father.
Prince Xian walked up to the young man, reached out and patted the young man's shoulder gently, "Good boy, I have wronged you."
The young man grinned again.
However, the words he spoke were like a bolt from the blue, knocking Prince Xie out of his wits.
"Father, my son misses you very much."
Xie Yan couldn't help but take a few steps back, his face became even paler, and he made a difficult voice: "Father, who is he?"
"Brother, I am Xie Sheng, and I am your twin brother."
Before the wise king could reply, the young man named Xie Sheng spoke.
"Father, father?"
Xie Yan's ears were buzzing at this time, twin brother? My twin brother?
King Xian sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled them all to the table, "Yan'er, your mother-in-law was pregnant with twins back then."
At that time, Princess Wen was pregnant, and was later diagnosed by the imperial physician as having twins, which shocked the entire royal family.
Some members of the royal family held objections, believing that twins were unlucky.
The "Book of Changes" records that "One is Yang, and the other is Yin." The conflict between Yin and Yang has been an ideology since ancient times. Therefore, those who objected to it mentioned in the clan that if twins in one child have too much Yin energy, they will inevitably end up with each other in the future. harm.
And some people even suggested that twins would hinder the destiny of the country.
The late emperor was in power at that time, and the longer he reigned, the more suspicious he became. The Queen Mother was also Empress Li at that time. Although she doted on the wise king, she did not want to make the late emperor hate the wise king because of the twins.
Princess Wen heard the news, and she was anxious as a mother.
The wise king couldn't bear it. No matter what, this was his child, so a careful plan was born.
Once Princess Wen gave birth, King Xian's eldest son was born smoothly, but the twin second sons died within a few breaths of life.
The wise king was furious, and the woman who delivered the baby and all the maids who knew about it were executed. Princess Wen also fainted on the spot.
Empress Li still thought that it would not work out, so she sent her second son away so that he could grow up safely away from the capital, but she did not expect that the child would not survive.
When the late emperor saw that the child was dead, he felt a pity in his heart.
However, as long as it doesn't hinder Daqi's national destiny, it's okay to die. That child is unlucky.
More than twenty years have passed, and the brothers from back then are still sitting together.
"Yan'er, Sheng'er has paid so much for you. You grew up beside me and was taught by me personally, but Sheng'er cannot see the light and has been living in the dark. You must remember that Sheng'er is your biological brother."
After listening to his father's words, Xie Yan calmed down and understood his father's intention of letting Xie Sheng show up.
"My child, please remember your father's words. Brother Sheng will always be my biological brother."
The wise king nodded with satisfaction.
"In five days, I will arrange for someone to take you away from Beijing to Liaodong. Sheng'er will stay in the hot spring village to recuperate. You don't have to worry about anything else."
The Xian Wang’s intention is very clear. Before the big event is completed, Xie Sheng will appear in front of the world as Xie Yan.
Of course Xie Yan knew what this meant. After leaving this secret room, he would no longer be Xie Yan.
From now on, not only the mother concubine, but also the eldest concubine Xiao Jin will face Xie Sheng.
But for Xie Yan, in order to achieve great things, he must give up something, and he has no regrets about this.
The father and son talked for more than an hour before they came out of the secret room. However, after coming out, the guards on the Zhuangzi discovered, Huh?
Who is the young man with the prince and the prince?
There was a young man they had never seen before, whom the prince called Muzhi. It was said that he was the son of an old friend of the prince.
However, the guards knew that their master's affairs were not something they could inquire about at will.
Princess Wen on the side hadn't seen Xie Yan for a long time. She heard from a servant that the prince had called him away, so Princess Wen came looking for someone.
The chief of guard came in to report that the princess was here.
The Xian Wang glanced at Xie Yan (Xie Sheng), who nodded slightly, but it was a pity that he could not recognize his mother and concubine yet.
However, his father told him that every year after celebrating his brother's birthday, his mother and concubine would stay in her room for a long time.
For the mother-in-law, this day is the birthday of her child and the death anniversary of her other child. She has to endure great pain on this day every year.
Therefore, Xie Sheng has never complained about his parents who gave him life.
"Yan'er."
Princess Wen opened the door and walked in quickly. When she saw Xie Yan (Xie Sheng), she said angrily: "The imperial doctor told you to rest, why are you disobedient?"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Xie Yan (Xie Sheng)'s hand to see if it was cold.
Xie Yan (Xie Sheng) was stiff for a moment. He had never felt the love of his mother, but he returned to normal in an instant.
Princess Wen didn't notice it.
"The mother and concubine are always lying in the room, almost useless. The father happened to be there, so the child asked the father for some advice, which made the mother and concubine worried."
"Silly boy, tell my concubine what you want to eat later, and she will arrange it."
Xie Yan (Xie Sheng) hummed softly. He suddenly hugged Princess Wen and gently leaned his head on Princess Wen.
Princess Wen was stunned and immediately smiled.
She looked at the wise king with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, you see, I have said that no matter how old the child is in the future, he will still be a child in front of us."
The Xian King was relieved now. He was really afraid that Xie Sheng would reveal his flaws.
