Chapter 798 I only believe in you
The remaining foster mothers were all rejected by Yan Yu.
For several days, Fang Renshu searched for all the foster mothers in Shengjing and nearby counties, but without exception, Yan Yu refused to accept any of them.
In order to get his foster mother to leave, Yan Yu tried every possible means, but ended up exhausting himself and becoming extremely hungry.
Yan Yu lay in the cradle, feeling dejected and as if he had lost all hope in life.
If this goes on, I will starve to death sooner or later.
What should I do? I can't do that to their... part...
Just thinking about it, Yan Yu felt like he was going to collapse.
Forget it, just starve.
I can't do such a thing as taking advantage of someone by using a baby's body.
It’s so sinful…
Before he finished his thoughts, the feeling of hunger came over him again, and Yan Yu was in great pain.
Ah! I can’t starve anymore!
Should I tell them not to feed them directly, but to squeeze it out and give it to me to drink?
If your vocal cords are not well developed, you will not be able to speak.
Writing is no problem, but do the people in this place know Chinese characters?
Will it scare them if babies can read and write?
What if I am mistaken for a monster and thrown into a fire to get rid of the monster and ward off disaster?
What if they thought that I ate their monarch or possessed him? How would I explain it?
Are they trustworthy?
Can I gain their trust?
Such thoughts kept coming to Yan Yu's mind for a long time. Finally, unable to bear the hunger any longer, he had no choice but to decide to reveal his identity as a time traveler.
He deliberately chose to take action when Fang Renshu was the only one around him.
Extending his index finger, he pointed to a pen and paper not far away.
"Mmmmmmm..."
Fang Renshu had been depressed and exhausted for days.
Hearing the sound, she quickly responded.
"Excuse me, my king, what do you want me to do?"
Yan Yu was in the right direction, pointing directly at the paper and pen.
"Uh-huh."
Fang Renshu turned to look where he pointed, was stunned at first, then couldn't believe it, and asked to confirm.
"Your Majesty, have you ordered me to prepare your writing?"
As his bones were not fully developed yet, Yan Yu could only nod slightly.
Fang Renshu was greatly amazed after witnessing the miracle with his own eyes.
"No, it's impossible."
"Your Majesty, can you understand what I am saying?"
"Are you really going to order the pen and ink to serve you?"
"If so, you shook your head."
Yan Yu obeyed and shook his head slightly.
Fang Renshu was even more incredulous.
"Please, my king, shake your finger again."
Yan Yu did as he was told.
Fang Renshu's mood was so great that the heaven and earth were shaken.
"Please, my king, close your eyes for a moment, then open them again."
Yan Yu closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again.
Very hungry, he pointed to a place not far away.
"Uh-huh."
Fang Renshu was terrified, and tremblingly took out paper and pen and prepared ink.
"What does your Majesty want to say? Please write it down."
"I am always at your service and respectfully listen to your instructions."
The baby's strength was already insufficient, and coupled with hunger and thirst, it was very difficult for Yan Yu to hold the pen.
After a while, he finally wrote a sentence to express his request.
Fang Renshu knelt beside him and helped him hold the paper.
When she learned what the king was thinking, her worries disappeared and she smiled happily.
"Yes, I obey the order."
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will do it right away."
Yan Yu made a "thank you" gesture and bowed to her.
Fang Renshu hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and kowtowed in panic.
"Your Majesty, I dare not accept your kindness."
She took her leave and quickly ordered her to return to her nurse and squeeze out the soup.
In the past few days, Yan Yu refused to eat, and Fang Renshu also had no appetite. She was pregnant and very weak, and fainted from hunger several times.
It was not that she deliberately made the baby suffer, but she was forced by the situation. Once the king passed away, the emperor would definitely use this as an excuse to punish him, and the entire Fang family would be in danger. No matter how well she raised the child, it would be useless.
Fortunately, today, with God’s blessing, things have turned around.
She returned to the room happily, holding a bowl of soup, knelt respectfully beside the king, and fed him the soup herself.
"Your Majesty, please have your meal."
Seeing the king eating so happily, she also felt hungry and ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal quickly.
After the meal, Fang Renshu did not forget to take good care of her body to ensure the safety of her beloved daughter in her belly.
At night, with the king's permission, she sat down beside the cradle.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, why do you call upon me, your humble servant?"
Yan Yu writes.
"I want to tell you where I came from. I'm afraid I'll scare you."
"I'm not a monster, I'm a human."
Fang Renshu spoke softly and patiently.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. I have absolutely no such wild thoughts or speculations."
"Your Majesty, you may not know that my clan has been assisting Emperor Yan for generations, starting from Emperor Taizu until now, for nearly five hundred years."
"I am loyal to the Emperor, and I have great ambitions for the King. I will not change my mind even if I die. Please be at peace, King, and do not be afraid."
Yan Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and wrote a sentence.
"You saved my life. I believe you."
Fang Renshu smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Yan Yu wrote down the account, detailing the meteorite fragments, the Ziwei astrology and other strange things.
"Actually, I'm not a baby. In fact, I'm already thirty-two years old..."
When Fang Renshu first heard of such a strange thing, he was shocked and his expression remained horrified throughout the whole process.
After recounting everything, Yan Yu touched the silver ring, entered the medical space, and took out the meteorite fragment that had traveled with him.
Fang Renshu obeyed the order, reached out to take the meteorite fragment, and then lightly touched the king's silver ring with her fingertips, and the medical space instantly appeared before her.
With a mixture of astonishment and curiosity, she looked around and looked at all kinds of strange things. Her heart was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She couldn't wait to tell the family members in various mansions about the king's situation, but she saw the king wrote: My affairs are known only to you and me, don't tell anyone else.
Fang Renshu was troubled.
"Excuse me, why?"
"Even my family members cannot be sued?"
Yan Yu finished writing a few words and looked at her pitifully.
"Well, I'm scared."
"In this world, I only trust you."
"My modern identity is too bizarre. I'm afraid they won't be able to tolerate me. So please keep your mouth shut."
"Miss Fang, thank you very much."
Fang Renshu's every move was respectful.
"Your Majesty, I am humbled and terrified."
"Since the Lord has given His Majesty's order, I dare not disobey. But if Your Majesty changes his mind and is willing to trust me, please let Your Majesty know about this to my family."
Yan Yu wrote and nodded at her.
"it is good."
When Gu Mengzhen ascended the throne, he weakened the positions of the Grand Marshal and the Grand Secretary and strengthened the power of the Eight Ministers. He demoted Zhong Jian to the position of Tinghe Cheng on the grounds that he failed to protect the emperor, and promoted Fang Renshu to the position of Grand Secretary on the grounds that he had made contributions in saving the emperor.
In this way, those who have made contributions are rewarded and those who have made mistakes are punished. All officials are either convinced or helpless, and they all flatter the emperor for his clear rewards and punishments.
On the day of his enthronement, the Zhuang clan was vindicated, and Gu Mengzhen welcomed his brother back to the capital with great fanfare and dignity.
Emperor Mu and Empress Zhenyu passed away, and marriages were not allowed during the funeral. Gu Mengzhen promised his brother and sister-in-law that he would give them a perfect wedding after the funeral.
Not long after Emperor Jin was enthroned, Gu Mengzhen, an informant, kept a close eye on Fang's residence. After returning to Beijing for a few days, Fang Zhixuan couldn't find a chance to go back to visit his parents and family.
It was not until Ning Fengzhe escaped from the Xingliang Palace and spread rumors in an attempt to save himself and return to the capital that Gu Mengzhen was forced to take it seriously and inadvertently neglected the movements of people in the Fang Mansion. Fang Zhixuan finally found an opportunity and returned to the mansion in secret.
