Chapter 399 Revealing Ye Tang’s Identity
Nalan Ze said so much, actually he just wanted Ye Tang to let the Shangguan clan go and not take revenge on them because of their ancestors' affairs.
More than sixty years have passed. The direct descendants of the Shangguan clan who hunted down Shangguan Zhenhua's family are now dead, leaving only their descendants. These people will not pose any threat to Ye Tang's family. As for the genius from the side branch, most of the current Shangguan clan members are unaware of his existence. Only the clan leader and the elders know about him.
Ye Tang listened to Nalan Ze's words without much reaction. It was not up to her to decide whether to let the Shangguan clan go or not. Her grandfather still didn't know about his ancestors, so everything would be discussed after returning to the Yuan Dynasty.
For several days in a row, Ye Tang came to the palace to accompany Nalan Ze and Nan Yuwan. Xiao Jingxuan followed him into the palace two or three times, but he became tired and didn't want to go again. If he had that much time, he might as well sleep in.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Nalan Xu discovered that Ye Tang went to the palace too frequently and had many doubts in his mind.
That day, after Nalan Xu finished reviewing the memorials, he took a few memorials to discuss with Nalan Ze. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ye Tang having a meal with Nalan Ze. The Queen was not there, and Xiao Jingxuan was not there either. There were only five or six palace maids and eunuchs serving them.
Seeing Nalan Ze picking up food for Ye Tang, Nalan Xu frowned and thought to himself that his grandfather and Princess Pingshan were too close and were too nice to her.
He has grown up and his grandfather has never picked up food for him!
Why does Princess Pingshan have this right?
This way of getting along is not something that others would think too much of. King Pingshan is so careless that he doesn't even come along to keep an eye on things.
"Grandfather, I have something to discuss with you." Nalan Xu stepped forward and said.
Nalan Ze asked him to bring the memorial over, but Nalan Xu stood still and glanced at Ye Tang.
Nalan Ze frowned, thinking of something, and said to Nalan Xu: "Let's not talk about the memorial for now. Sit down first. Grandfather Huang has something to tell you."
Nalan Xu sat opposite Ye Tang, and Ye Tang smiled at him.
Nalan Xu was stunned, snorted casually and looked away.
Ye Tang was speechless, not knowing why he was so angry.
Nalan Ze reached out and knocked on Nalan Xu's head: "Are you having some crazy thoughts in your mind?"
Nalan Xu covered his head and said, "Grandson, no, I'm busy and don't have time to think about it."
Nalan Ze sighed softly: "I originally wanted to wait until I recovered before announcing it to the world, but now, forget it, I'd better make it clear to you guys as soon as possible."
He continued, "Xu'er, you know that over the years, Grandfather has been looking for your Grandaunt and has never given up."
Nalan Xu wondered why they mentioned the Imperial Aunt. Shouldn't they be talking about Princess Pingshan?
Nalan Ze said: "My grandfather was incompetent and failed to find your great aunt, but your great aunt came and found us later."
Nalan Xu was stunned: "Descendants of the Imperial Aunt?"
Nalan Ze smiled and looked at Ye Tang: "Princess Pingshan is the granddaughter of your royal aunt. So, I have to call you cousin."
Nalan Xu's eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrongly: "Grandfather, this is not a joke."
Ye Tang smiled and said, "Cousin, you are joking. This kind of thing is not something you can joke about."
She told the story of how she and Nalan Ze met each other.
Nalan Xu was a little dazed after hearing this: "I was wondering why you always go to the palace to accompany your grandfather recently. So this is what's going on."
He slapped his head and looked up and shouted: "I was just daydreaming before, I thought..."
Nalan Ze glared at him and said, "What do you think? Is your royal grandfather the kind of person who would eat young grass if he was old?"
Nalan Xu asked: "Does the Imperial Grandmother know?"
Ye Tang nodded: "I know, my great-aunt was not feeling well, so she didn't eat with us."
Nalan Xu said "oh".
Nalan Ze glared at him and said, "Oh what? Tell your father about this matter and don't let him have any wild thoughts. Don't tell anyone else for now. I will inform the world of this matter in three days. Also, you should quickly prepare to ascend the throne."
Nalan Xu's heart tightened: "Grandfather, if you really want to pass the throne to your grandson, don't think about it again. You are still strong and can be the emperor for another ten years."
Nalan Ze said angrily: "You are just lazy. I am old and my hair is all white, but you still want me to be busy every day. As a grandson, don't you know how to understand me? Can't you let me enjoy my old age?"
He was so excited that he couldn't help coughing.
Seeing his grandfather's frail appearance, Nalan Xu felt distressed: "My grandson is wrong, Grandfather, don't get excited, I will listen to you."
Nalan Ze patted his hand gently: "I know you. With your ability, Penglai will continue to enjoy peace. Xu'er, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Being in the royal family, you must shoulder the burden."
"You know your father's health condition. He is not as good as his grandfather! Therefore, the throne can only be handed over to you."
"You don't have to care about what others think. Just do your own thing. Grandfather Huang will clear all obstacles for you."
three days later.
Nalan Ze was in good health and announced to the public at the morning court that Ye Tang was Princess Fenghua's granddaughter.
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan walked into the Xuanwu Hall in front of civil and military officials.
Upon suddenly hearing such a shocking secret, all the civil and military officials were stunned and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
Some people were skeptical about Ye Tang's identity until they saw Ye Tang take out the relics left by Princess Fenghua, and then they believed Ye Tang's identity.
Nalan Ze was so happy that he told Ye Tang and his wife how they had detoxified him. He also conferred the title of Princess Haitang on Ye Tang, posthumously conferred the title of Princess Fenghua as the eldest princess, and her daughter Jiang Lingyue as Princess Xuanying.
This incident spread throughout the imperial city and everyone was shocked.
"Great news! Princess Fenghua's descendant has appeared. Do you know who it is?"
"I know, I know, I've heard it, it's Princess Pingshan, the envoy from the Yuan Dynasty."
"Yes, yes, it is Princess Pingshan. This Princess Pingshan is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also very kind and amiable. Now she has been named Princess Haitang by the Emperor."
"Princess Pingshan has become Princess Haitang. So, isn't this a marriage relationship between Penglai and the Yuan Dynasty?"
Penglai Kingdom has never had any marriage alliance with any other country.
The people are still discussing.
On the Shangguan clan's side, Shangguan Ruiguang had been investigating for a long time but had not figured out Ye Tang's identity. Now there was no need to investigate anymore, as Ye Tang's identity had been made public, and Princess Pingshan had turned into Princess Haitang.
She is not only the princess of the Yuan Dynasty, but also the princess of Penglai, and the granddaughter of Princess Fenghua who has disappeared for decades. The Shangguan clan cannot afford to offend her with this identity.
Upon hearing this, Chief Shangguan sighed and said, "No matter where Princess Pingshan got her divine power from, let's not investigate it, to avoid getting ourselves into trouble."
