Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

In the middle of the night, it was quiet everywhere, the two maids who were guarding the night in the outer hall were sleeping soundly, Shen Yuan didn't wake them up, and went straight out of the hall.

Tonight's moonlight is extremely dim, and the road can be vaguely seen.

And that cry seemed to be there, intermittent, and it seemed to be telling endless sadness.

Having lived in Yingxue Palace for so long, it is not uncommon for Shen Yuan to have heard of some rumors. The palace maids discussed in private, saying that for some reason Yingxue Palace suddenly became haunted during this period of time.

Tonight, she would like to see whether the "ghosts" in Daqi Kingdom are the same as Shenjia Village, whether they are angry or not.

Shen Yuan quietly followed the crying sound.

The Daqi Palace is bigger than the Dazhou Palace. There are two lakes in the Yingxue Palace. Shen Yuyan walked through the corridor and the moon gate, bypassed a lake and came to the northeast corner of the palace.

As the distance got closer, the cry became clearer, and it came from an abandoned house in front.

Shen Yuan knows kung fu, walks lighter than a cat, and makes no sound at all.

It wasn't until she pushed open the door creakingly that the crying inside stopped abruptly, and then a flexible white figure tried to rush out of the door, but was grabbed by Shen Yuan.

"Who are you? Why are you crying here?" Shen Yuan clasped the woman's hands behind his back and asked sharply.

"Girl, spare your life." The woman begged for mercy in a low voice.

There was no light in the room, and she couldn't see the woman's face, but she didn't look very old from the voice, she looked like she was in her twenties.

Shen Yuan clasped her hands, feeling that she was very thin, but she was sure that this was not a ghost, just a fake person.

"You want me to let you go? Then explain clearly why you're playing tricks here." Shen Yuan exerted all her strength and dragged the woman out of the dilapidated house. Under the dim moonlight, Shen Yuan saw that she was wearing a tattered white shirt, her hair was disheveled, and her face was dark. It's full of dirt, and you can't see your face clearly.

At this time, the woman also raised her head and looked at Shen Yuan with wide eyes.

"You, who are you?"

"Who do you care about me? Tell me who you are first."

The woman didn't seem to understand Shen Yuan's words at all, and her eyes were shining with excitement.

"You have a big Zhou accent. Could it be that you are the daughter of the imperial concubine? Your Highness the Second Princess?"

Shen Yuan:
She couldn't help letting go of her hand, and looked at her curiously again. "Who the hell are you? How did you know my mother?"

"Your Highness Second Princess, I beg Second Princess to avenge my concubine's grievance." The woman knelt in front of Shen Yu and kowtowed nonstop.

"What's wrong with you? Get up and say it." Shen Yuan said

The woman refused to get up, insisted on kneeling on the ground, and opened her mouth mournfully.

"My name is Biqiao. I used to be the maidservant next to Concubine Jiang. After the concubine disappeared, the emperor often came to Yingxue Palace to miss her. One time he got drunk and pampered me."

"Just this time, I was pregnant with a child. The emperor made me a nobleman for the sake of the child. After I conceived in October, I gave birth to a prince, but the child was snatched away by the queen as soon as it was born."

"The queen not only took my child, but also stuffed me with a stillborn baby with two heads, saying that I gave birth to a monster and executed me.
"Fortunately, I know how to detoxify. They escaped when they poured poison on me and wanted to throw me into the dry well. Since then, I have been hiding in Yingxue Palace."

Speaking of which, the woman pushed back her messy hair, and looked at Shen Yuan pitifully with a pair of begging eyes.

"I am the crown prince's biological mother, and the crown prince Xia Hanfeng was born to me. I beg Your Royal Highness to avenge my grievances."

After hearing Biqiao's words, Shen Yuan became a little confused.

Perhaps it is precisely because Afeng is not Xia Luoluo's younger brother that Xia Luoluo will be so cruel to Afeng, and will bring Afeng to the Great Zhou Kingdom, and do everything possible to put Afeng to death.

It seems that what Biqiao said is true.

However, for the sake of prudence, Shen Yuan decided to investigate.

"Well, let me investigate this matter first, and I will come here to give you an answer at this time tomorrow night."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Bi Qiao kowtowed to Shen Yuan again, and watched Shen Yuan leave expectantly.

She had been hiding in Yingxue Palace for many years, lingering on with no hope in sight, until she heard that the second princess had returned to the palace, and that she would investigate the case with kindness and integrity. After much deliberation, she decided to cry at night to attract Shen Yuan.

She hoped that her grievances could be washed away, and even if she couldn't, she also hoped to see her own flesh and blood, so that even if she died, she would have no regrets.

On the way back from the dilapidated house under the moonlight, Shen Yuan was also in a very complicated mood.

If Ah Feng's identity is true, isn't he not the son of the legitimate son? In this way, the eldest son of the emperor, Xia Yan, has enough reasons to inherit the throne. Wouldn't such a disturbance in the Daqi Kingdom fall into chaos?
Shen Yuan was also hesitant, and decided to clarify the matter first.

Early the next morning, she took a few delicate items and went to Xingde Palace where Emperor Jing Yuan lived.

"I said why it smells so good, so it turned out that this girl came here with breakfast." Emperor Jing Yuan greeted him while straightening his robe, "Since you returned to the palace, your old father has gained several catties." While talking, he happily sat down at the table.

Shen Yu'an also laughed and said, "I said that Ah Feng is a snack, so he inherited the fine traditions of his father, hahaha~~" The father and daughter took out the breakfast box while talking and laughing,

Serve at the table and enjoy together later.

"Is it delicious, Father?" Shen Yuyan put a shrimp dumpling into Emperor Jing Yuan's bowl and asked with a smile.

"It's delicious, my daughter's craftsmanship is the best in the world, and the God of Cookery is down to earth." Emperor Jing Yuan praised people in exactly the same way as Li Ye, haha, this father and son~~
"Then father, eat more, look at how thin you are." Shen Yuan kept picking into Emperor Jing Yuan's bowl, and Emperor Jing Yuan would not refuse anyone who came, and his daughter had to eat it even if he was dying.

"By the way, father, was there a nobleman named Biqiao in Yingxueju before?" Shen Yuan asked after seeing that Emperor Jing Yuan was almost done eating.

"Yes, yes." Emperor Jing Yuan nodded quickly. He could count the women he favored in the harem with five fingers, so he naturally remembered them clearly.

"Biqiao is Yingxue's personal maid, she is very fond of Yingxue, once Yingxue was bitten by a poisonous snake, it was Biqiao who saved Yingxue's life."

Saying that, Emperor Jing Yuan put down his chopsticks and opened the chatter.

"There was also a time when Yingxue fell into the lake, and it was also saved by Biqiao. Because of this, Biqiao became pregnant with my child and was made a nobleman."

"Oh, it's a pity that she was so unlucky that she gave birth to a freak with two heads!"

Emperor Jing Yuan shook his head helplessly while speaking.

However, what he said confirmed that what Biqiao said was true, and Shen Yuan was really a little entangled.

Biqiao has saved her mother many times, now that she has something to ask of herself, how can she stand idly by?
But, still the same sentence, once this matter is revealed, it will bring countless troubles to Afeng, maybe Afeng will become the second Night King, which is something she does not want to see anyway.

Just as he was struggling, Eunuch Lin came in and held a letter in front of Emperor Jing Yuan: "Your Majesty, I have intercepted a secret letter from the Eldest Princess to the Empress."

Emperor Jing Yuan opened the letter, his expression became uglier the more he looked at it, and finally he patted the table and stood up.
