Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 165
"Zhuang Yinan, where have you been?" After Shen Zhan returned to the house to freshen up, Zhou Feng had already returned, sat at the table, and replied, "The city gate you entered with your back and forth, after booking a room in Tongfu Building, I sent a message to the palace."

As Xiao Shan's first staff member, Zhuang Yinan had nothing wrong with delivering a letter of worship to the palace. Shen Zhan nodded and said, "You send someone to keep an eye on him. Since he came quietly, there must be something wrong."

"Yes, there are people watching inside and outside Tongfulu Building." Zhou Feng said in a low voice: "However, my subordinates feel that there are still people watching, but they don't know who the other party is yet."

Shen Zhan leaned on the chair, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, Zhou Feng called out, "Master Hou?"

"Huh?" Shen Zhan regained his senses and looked at him, "Got it, go to work, and I will find you one by one."

Zhou Feng should go away, and after a while, Suiyi came in, closed the door, and Shen Zhan asked, "Where is she now?"

"She was in Zhangde, and Su Shiyuan followed her, but she never made a move. There was a man in his 50s beside her. It was hard to see if there was any disguise, but based on Su Shiyuan's reaction, it was almost the same as what we were looking for. people."

"Didn't you see them sending out letters? Or contacting someone?" Shen Zhan asked.

Sui shook his head, "This subordinate can't be sure, because he can't get close, maybe he has contacts with the inn boy or the horse driver, it's unknown." After a pause, he continued: "But they have been under surveillance all the time. , It seems that they also know, so they have never left Jiangxi, it seems that they just travel around and investigate the people's conditions."

Jiangxi?Shen Zhan felt a little strange, Jiangxi was the fiefdom of Zhao Yan, could it be related?
But judging from Zhao Yan's attitude and reaction, he doesn't seem to know about this matter, nor does he seem to be the one planning to frame Zhao Xu.

He can be sure of that.

Is it just a coincidence?

Shen Zhan frowned slightly, and then said: "Don't accept those who stare at King Ning and the Fifth Prince, just keep an eye on them."

"Yes!" He answered yes, opened the door and went out.

Shen Zhan sat for a while, and it was getting dark, Zhou Feng went back and forth to Zhuang Yinan to rest at the inn after dinner, Shen Zhan went out and went straight to Tongfulou.

The light in Zhuang Yinan's room was still on. He stood across the street for a while, then turned and left.

At this time, Su Wanru was also listening to Duan Zhen talking about Zhuang Yinan. After Duan Zhen finished speaking, he said worriedly: "...Will he come to serve Zhao Zhiang?"

"I also thought so at first, but I thought about it all the way on the way, and I thought it should be impossible." Su Wanru got up and walked around twice, looked at Duan Zhen and said, "If you were Xiao Shan, would you join Zhao Zhiang?"

Duan Zhen shook his head resolutely, "Zhao Zhiang can't help Xiaoshan in the past ten years." Even if there is Shen Zhan, it won't work.

Otherwise, the Xiao family would not have dominated the Chengdu mansion for so many years.

"Yeah, he is different from Li Mao'an. After all, the Li family has a foundation of more than ten years, but the Xiao family has been in Chengdu for nearly a hundred years. The previous court couldn't chew on this bone, so they made him a festival At this time, the Xiao family also took a step back and accepted it readily, but the annual profits and taxes are not paid, which is just a step forward. It will be even more difficult for Zhao Zhiang to regain the foundation of the Xiao family. " Su Wanru sat down and knocked on the table, "Is it really looking for a child?"

"If he is looking for a child, then what is he doing posting to the palace? Just look for it in private." Su Wanru couldn't figure this out, "Could it be that the child is in the palace?"

Duan Zhen was stunned, "No way. If this is the case, will Zhao Zhiang use this opportunity to regain Xiaoshan?"

Su Wanru didn't know Xiao Shan well, so she wasn't sure what he would do.

"We can only wait and see what happens." Su Wanru frowned, "See what he does next, as long as he doesn't follow Zhao Zhiang, we don't have to interfere. If they really mean it, then we..."

Zhuang Yinan was killed by the method of the Zhao family.

Although the Xiao family is similar to a "king" in Chengdu, they have never been called kings, and there is no so-called imperial government office in Chengdu.

This is also the reason why the previous dynasty pursued and fought endlessly. If you don't call yourself a king, you are a minister. The ministers are your own people, and the king must be an enemy.

If it is the enemy, it is life and death, and there is no way out.

Therefore, Xiao's people are smart.

Early the next morning, Zhuang Yinan changed into clean clothes and sat in the inn waiting for the letter.He is fifty-eight years old this year, and has been with Xiao Shan for nearly 30 years. From an inconspicuous entourage to today's position, his hard work and ability are inseparable from Xiao Shan's training.

He was drinking tea and looking at the door. Since he stayed last night until now, there have been at least three groups of people who have come. He doesn't know who they are, because he did come alone, but he can definitely believe that he The person he was looking for was among these three groups of people, at least he was ordered by that person.

He was sullen, and waited until Chen Shi, when he heard footsteps outside the door, then knocked on the door, and a man dressed as a servant stood at the door, "But Mr. Zhuang?"

"It's Zhuang." Zhuang Yinan got up and saluted, and the servant replied: "Mr. Zhuang, please come with the other family."

Zhuang Yinan nodded, followed the servants downstairs, there was a carriage parked downstairs, he got into the carriage, the carriage passed through Yanjing City and went straight to the imperial city, the carriage stopped outside the imperial city, he walked slowly all the way to Outside the royal study.

The Habayashi guards were guarding outside the imperial study room, Zhuang Yinan took a look at the man on the left, he was tall and tall, wearing a bean green robe, he should be the leader of the Habayashi guards, Wang Dahai.

When he entered the door, he saw the waiter standing beside the dragon case. He had fair skin and big eyes, so it should be Eunuch Du.

Sitting behind the dragon table, Zhao Zhiang is six to seventy years old, with gray hair, showing his old age.

It turned out that Zhao Zhiang looked like this.

"Student Zhuang Yinan, kowtow to the Holy One!" Zhuang Yinan kowtowed, his gestures were well done, Zhao Zhiang was very satisfied, he nodded and said: "Get up."

Zhuang Yinan should be, got up, and heard Zhao Zhiang say: "I heard that Mr. Zhuang under Xiao Aiqing's seat is omniscient and omnipotent. It is a great blessing for me to meet you today."

"Don't dare to be praised by the saint, the student is just a fool with no sense." Zhuang Yinan said.

Zhao Zhiang laughed, invited Zhuang Yinan to sit down, and asked: "How is Xiao Shan in recent years? I remember he is not young, right?"

"Yes!" Zhuang Yinan replied, "Your Excellency will be forty-six this year."

Zhao Zhiang nodded, "Time flies so fast." He paused, "How about his heirs, I remember he has a son?"

Zhuang Yinan's eyebrows twitched, and she lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

"The heirs are not abundant, how many more will he have at this age." Zhao Zhiang laughed, and said: "But the Xiao clan is now thriving, but in his place, the population is withered."

Zhuang Yinan should be, and said: "Our wife...is not in good health."

"Each has its own difficulties." Zhao Zhiang's attitude towards Xiao Shan is very delicate. Although he is a monarch and minister, but if the minister does not come to worship the monarch, it is just a name. Moreover, Xiao Shi has been in Chengdu for so many years, he both hates and fears .

Zhuang Yinan was not easy to answer these words, Zhao Zhiang changed the subject, and said: "You said in the memorial that you came this time because of a family matter of the Xiao family, asking me to be the master?"

"Yes!" Zhuang Yinan stood up again, and replied: "14 years ago, our lord lost a daughter. After so many years of searching in private, we finally found her whereabouts."

Zhao Zhiang let out a groan, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I know about this, but I heard it was more than twenty years, how many years?"

"It was 14 years ago." Zhuang Yinan replied, "The child from 22 years ago...is gone."

Zhao Zhiang froze for a moment, as if he was thinking about the connection, "So, two children were lost?"

"The child in 22 years was gone after birth. Our adults were afraid that my wife would not be able to bear the blow, so we lied to her that someone stole it." Zhuang Yinan replied: "The one who got lost 14 years ago was a young lady. , Your Excellency and Madam have been looking for it."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Zhiang raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know who did it?"

Zhuang Yinan replied: "Your Majesty knows that the Xiao family has a huge branch and leaves, and there will inevitably be some internal disputes. We adults say that sometimes the relationship between relatives is not as good as that of friends, and friends can still treat each other with sincerity, but in the family of relatives, only A life-and-death hatred."

Zhao Zhiang thought it was right, he was more happy to see the success, and his mood became better. Xiaoshan's heirs are not abundant, coupled with the internal struggles in the clan, the urn of Chengdu may be broken by itself without waiting for him to do it.

"I also understand this matter, helpless." Zhao Zhiang sighed, and said regretfully: "He really shouldn't be infatuated. He has a long love. How come there is only one son under his knees for so many years."

Zhuang Yinan also looked ashamed.

"What's the whereabouts of this daughter? She's in the capital?" If she wasn't in the capital, Zhuang Yinan probably wouldn't have come to the capital to beg him to make decisions.

Just find it yourself.

"Yes!" Zhuang Yinan said: "Recently someone wrote to the Chengdu mansion, telling our lord that there is a lady of the same age in Beijing who is exactly the same as our lady in terms of appearance and birthmark."

Zhao Zhiang let out an oh, and if he is still his wife, then he is married.He asked, "The wife of the He family?"

"It's... the Hu family next to His Royal Highness." Zhuang Yinan said: "I don't know if it's convenient, but ask this lady if she has a light brown triangular birthmark on her shoulder."

Zhao Zhiang was surprised, how could it be the Hu family?He couldn't help turning his head to look at Eunuch Du.

Eunuch Du was also full of astonishment, then thought of something, and whispered in Zhao Zhiang's ear: "My lord, Mrs. Hu is the adopted daughter of Uncle Panyang."

Adopted daughter?That is to say, the surname of Hu is Sui Fan Yangbo?

Zhao Zhiang's heart moved, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhuang Yinan, whether it was intentional or a coincidence that the Hu family happened to follow Zhiting.

Could it be that Xiao Shan had some kind of plan, and let his daughter secretly seduce Zhiting in order to achieve what purpose?
But can a woman mess up his court plan?This is too underestimating Zhao Zhiang.

"Is there any evidence?" Zhao Zhiang asked: "Who wrote to Xiao Shan, saying that Mrs. Hu is his lost daughter?"

Zhuang Yinan looked expressionless, and replied calmly: "My lord said it was an unsigned letter, only saying that his daughter was with the emperor's eldest grandson, and nothing else was mentioned. After the student came to Beijing yesterday, he asked a little After a while, there is only Madam Hu beside the emperor's eldest grandson, so that's why I said this."

"My lord, we adults don't know whether it is or not, so I come to ask you to make up your mind and ask Mrs. Hu, but there is such a birthmark." Zhuang Yinan said.

Zhao Zhiang nodded, and nodded with Eunuch Du, "You personally take a nanny to the Prince's Mansion to ask."

Eunuch Du should go.

"If Mrs. Hu is Xiao Shan's lost daughter, what should you do?" Zhao Zhiang squinted his eyes. If Mrs. Hu is really Xiao Shan's first daughter, then it would be aggrieved to be only a side concubine in this capacity, but if Xiao Shan demands this It is impossible for him to agree to be a concubine.

The concubine who governs the court cannot be done by a qualified family.

But...Xiao Shan's daughter...is still a prostitute...

Zhao Zhiang's heart was spinning quickly, and Zhuang Yinan replied: "Before the student came, our adults specially instructed that if it is verified that she is really our lost lady, let the student ask the Holy Lord to bring our lady back. She is alone in a foreign country, and we adults don't think about anything, just want to make up for her, and let her live a happy life with her parents' love and food and clothing for a few days."

Bring people back?Zhao Zhiang immediately denied that Xiao Shan's first daughter would not be the main concubine, but she could be a side concubine. He had a daughter in his hands, so she was considered half-in-law, and it would be helpful to govern the court in the future, and even more restraining to Xiao Shan. .

People he will not let go.

"We will discuss this matter later." Zhao Zhiang immediately made a decision, "We will discuss this issue after it is confirmed that Mrs. Hu is indeed Xiao Shan's daughter."

Zhuang Yinan should be, waiting with Zhao Zhiang, he seemed a little anxious and expectant, kept looking towards the door, and waited for half an hour before seeing Eunuch Du coming in from the door, he hurried forward One step, wanted to ask something but felt impolite, and backed away.

It seemed that he was really looking for his daughter, Zhao Zhiang nodded slightly, looked at Eunuch Du, "How is it?"

"Indeed there is." Du Gonggong said: "Sister Hu personally saw that there is indeed a triangular birthmark on Mrs. Hu's shoulder, the size of a fingernail."

Then it was real, otherwise how would others know about the birthmark on the woman's shoulder and how to fake it.

"Amitabha." Zhuang Yinan recited Amitabha, and then explained embarrassingly: "Our wife became a lay Buddhist more than ten years ago for the sake of a pair of children. The students... can be regarded as fascinated by what they have seen and heard. No wonder."

"It's human nature." Zhao Zhiang waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then please ask Zhiting to bring Mrs. Hu here, and ask carefully."

Zhuang Yinan was very moved, knelt down with a bang, and said, "Thank you, Lord Long En."

"Okay, since you have begged me to come here, and you happen to be members of the royal family, I will make the decision for you." After Zhao Zhiang finished speaking, he told Eunuch Du: "Go and let Zhiting bring people here. .”

Eunuch Du should be, go out and give orders.

Eunuch Shui was ordered to leave the palace with two young servants, and Madam Liu, who was on the way to Fengwu Palace, greeted her with a smile, "Where is Eunuch Shui going, in a hurry?"

"I'm doing business for the sage, go to the prince's mansion." This matter will not become a secret, not to mention that the other party is the queen, he has to do it according to the situation, so he took the initiative to say: "The sage wants to summon His Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor and the Hu family."

Mother Liu was taken aback, and asked, "What is it for?" She was afraid that the Holy Majesty would beat Zhao Zhiting again because of Hu.

"Nurse, this matter... slaves don't dare to talk about it." Eunuch Shui said, and said in a low voice: "Chengdu Mansion Xiaoshan sent an aide to the palace, it seems to be related to the Hu family."

With that said, he saluted and made a confession, then hurried away.

It took Liu Mama a long time to regain her senses, and she hurried back to Fengwu Palace, and told the queen about it. The queen was lying down, and she sat up when she heard these words, "For the sake of Mrs. Hu? What can Mrs. Hu do?" What? I remember that she is the adoptive daughter of Uncle Panyang, so how can she have anything to do with Chengdu Mansion?"

"The slaves also find it strange. But if it doesn't matter, why do people from the Chengdu government want to see her?" Madam Liu said in a low voice, "This...wouldn't be a bad thing, it will implicate His Highness again, and our Highness is weak. , can no longer be punished."

"This slut." The queen's face darkened, "If she causes any trouble this time, even if it hurts Zhiting's heart, I will definitely not keep her."

Just a troublemaker.

"Go and keep an eye on it, and come back immediately if you have anything to do." The queen felt uneasy, but she couldn't think of any connection between Chengdu Mansion and Hu Qiongyue.

Grandma Liu went out, and after a while she sent someone to say that Zhao Zhiting and Hu Qiongyue had entered the palace.

The queen couldn't sit still either, so she drove to the royal study.

Zhao Zhiang didn't stop her, she went straight into the imperial study room, and saw Zhuang Yinan at a glance, she didn't know him but she could guess who he was, when she saluted and sat down, the man saluted her, "Student Zhuang Yinan, kowtow to the empress."

"You are the number one staff member next to Xiao Shan." The queen nodded slightly, "Get up, just continue talking about what you just said, I just listen to it."

Zhuang Yinan should get up.

The queen looked at Hu Qiongyue, and saw that Hu Qiongyue's face was also in a daze, obviously not clear about the situation, while Zhao Zhiting looked thoughtful, as if he knew something.

"Ask." Zhao Zhiang nodded, and Zhuang Yinan should have turned around and cupped his hands at Zhao Zhiting and Hu Qiongyue. He took a look at Hu Qiongyue along the way, then quickly lowered his eyebrows and told Zhao Zhiang about the missing lady. , Repeated again, "...our lady was only two years old at the time, and her appearance and features might not be the same as now, but she has a triangular birthmark on her shoulder, and our wife has always remembered this feature in her heart."

Hu Qiongyue endured it for a long time before she let herself lose her composure. She knows who her parents are, so Zhuang Yinan is talking nonsense.

But how did the other party know that she also had a birthmark on her shoulder?

What is this all about?
The queen was so shocked that she lost her voice. Is Mrs. Hu the daughter of Xiao Shan?It can't be such a coincidence, can it?

Zhao Zhiting was also surprised, "Then... how do you know that Yue'er is the person you are looking for? Who told you?"

"Someone wrote a letter to our lord." Zhuang Yinan replied, "Just one and a half months ago, our lord told the students to hurry up after receiving the letter."

This...was a bit sudden, Zhao Zhiting's heart turned quickly, and he immediately became happy. If Hu Qiongyue is really Xiao Shan's daughter, then...then she can be her concubine. Xiao Shan is the Jiedu envoy. Even his first daughter is qualified to be a queen.

Zhao Zhiting was very happy, looked at Hu Qiongyue with bright eyes, and said impatiently: "Yue'er, think about it quickly, you still don't remember what happened when you were a child, even a little bit is fine."

Hu Qiongyue was full of doubts, why did people from Chengdu Manor suddenly come to recognize her daughter?

This incident was so sudden, was it a coincidence or someone was helping her.

What good would it be if she recognized her as the other party's daughter.

The result is obvious, even if Zhao Zhiang can't let her be Zhao Zhiting's main concubine or side concubine, at least it is impossible to send her away.

Recently, she has been thinking about this matter, how can she not be sent away.

Now it seems that someone sent a pillow when she fell asleep, which is weird and inexplicable in every way.

But looking at Zhuang Yinan, it didn't look like Zhuang Yinan was cheating, and whether Xiao Shan had lost his daughter, she must have the answer if he asked, she believed that the other party really lost his daughter.

So why is it her.

Hu Qiongyue thought for a while, but she didn't have an answer. She looked up at Zhuang Yinan, turned her gaze, and said cautiously: "Could the birthmark on my shoulder be a coincidence? Isn't it a bit far-fetched to rely on the birthmark alone?"

Zhao Zhiang saw her performance and doubts, and the doubts in his heart were completely dispelled. Hu Qiongyue didn't know about this matter, and even had doubts about Zhuang Yinan's recognition of relatives.

"Yes!" Zhuang Yinan said: "So I want to ask, does Madam still remember something from her childhood? Even a little bit is fine."

How did Hu Qiongyue know, but she still frowned and thought about it, and tried to answer: "I only remember a very long river in front of my house... I don't remember anything else." Of course there is a river, her son In summer, I often take a boat trip on the canal with my parents.

She didn't talk nonsense.

"Yes, there is indeed a river," Zhuang Yinan's reaction surprised Hu Qiongyue, and then she heard him say: "Miss, do you still remember what is by the river?"

Hu Qiongyue immediately understood that even if she said that there was a palace by the lake, the other party would say that she was right. Today's acquaintance is not here to ask her at all, but a set situation. The only thing she has to do now is Just to cooperate with Zhuang Yinan.

As for who and why they did this, let's wait until she has passed the level before her to find out.Since the other party has helped her, there is no such thing as showing favor and not trying to repay her.

She said: "There are sellers by the river, paved with bluestone slabs. I walked with a nanny. She bought me a piece of flour cake and wore it with a bamboo stick. It was very sweet."

"Do you still remember the woman's appearance?" Zhuang Yinan was so excited that tears filled her eyes, and Hu Qiongyue couldn't help admiring her. Could it be that he was also deceived and really thought she was Xiao Shan's daughter?
No way?But she obviously made it up casually. Could it be that it was really a coincidence that what she made up just happened to match?
"I don't remember what Mammy looks like, but I feel that she is very tall." Hu Qiongyue felt that she couldn't say any more. A two-year-old child should not remember anything, right?

Zhuang Yinan wiped his face impolitely with his sleeve, cupped his fists at her, and saluted: "Zhuang Yinan pays respects to miss!" Then said: "Miss, you are the miss that our adults have been looking for for 14 years."

Hu Qiongyue's eyelids twitched, and she went to see Zhao Zhiting with a look of bewilderment at the right time... Don't blame her, she didn't know her background, the other party insisted on acknowledging her relatives, even if things were revealed in the future, it had nothing to do with her.

She was a child, and the other party came with a birthmark, of course she had to admit it.

Who doesn't want to have parents, Hu Qiongyue thought so.

Excuses and excuses were found for the future.

"It's really true," Zhao Zhiting was the most excited, holding Hu Qiongyue's hand, "Yue'er, you finally have a family, you finally have parents."

Hu Qiongyue blushed and nodded.

"Do you...do you want to ask Uncle Panyang?" The queen frowned, thinking that this matter was strange, "When did Uncle Panyang accept you as a foster daughter? What was the situation at that time, do you want to ask them. "

Zhao Zhiang nodded, and everyone looked at Hu Qiongyue together again.

"My adoptive parents know that I am not in good health, so they let my adoptive brother come to the capital, and he will arrive in a few days. My adoptive brother is seven years older than me, and he knows many things." Hu Qiongyue said: "As for them adopting me When I was five or six years old, I was taken to Changzhou by Ren Yazi, and I happened to meet my adoptive parents. They saw how cute I was, and they felt sorry for me. It just so happened that they didn’t have a daughter under their knees at that time. , so they adopted me."

This is what she agreed with Uncle Fanyang after she came to the capital. If Zhao Zhiang went to investigate, he would be able to find out that she had stayed in Yingtian Jinxiufang. Embroidery workshop.

Although far-fetched, it is still convincing without going into the details.Especially now that she has become Xiao Shan's daughter again, the matter of Uncle Fan Yang has become insignificant.

"Yes, Brother Hu sent you a letter. I told you about it a month ago. I knew about it. He is already on board." The coincidence is diluted.

The queen nodded and said: "Then wait for Uncle Panyang's people to come and ask." After talking too much, she looked at Zhuang Yinan again, "Are you sure she is the missing lady in your mansion?"

Zhuang Yinan bowed and replied: "It's absolutely true." After speaking for a while, he suddenly knelt down with Zhao Zhiang, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty and Empress to be merciful, let the students take our young lady home and reunite with our lord and madam. "

As soon as he said this, everyone was dumbfounded again, Zhao Zhiting jumped up and said: "Impossible, Yue'er is mine, not only that, she is also Feng'er's mother, it is impossible to go with you."

"But Your Highness." Zhuang Yinan said: "But our master and madam miss our lady. They have been looking for more than ten years, and now they finally found it. Do you have the heart to let them stay so far apart?"

"That's none of my business." Zhao Zhiting grabbed Hu Qiongyue's hand, "Yue'er is already married. If the two elders miss their daughter, they will come to Beijing to visit. Our Yue'er is not in good health and the child is still young. Do not leave the capital."

Zhuang Yinan looked embarrassed, and said falteringly: "You are... a difficult thing for a strong man."

Zhao Zhiting flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

The queen and Zhao Zhiang looked at each other, and after a while she said: "Mr. Zhuang came to visit suddenly. It's not just a few words that can make a decision. Otherwise, you can go back and rest first, and let the Holy One discuss it with us, what do you think."

There is no problem with this, Zhuang Yinan got up and replied: "Then the student is waiting for the summoning of the Holy Majesty and the Empress."

"Mr. Zhuang." Zhao Zhiting said earnestly: "It is impossible for Yue'er to meet you in Chengdu. You might as well study the book first and go back to ask you what Xiao Shan means. If he is willing, he can come to the capital now, so that he can personally confirm Yue'er's identity." Not his own daughter."

This sentence hit the point, Zhao Zhiang nodded and said: "That's right, it's a way to let Xiao Shan come to the capital. If it's really his daughter, I can make plans for the next step."

"It's our lady who is not wrong." Zhuang Yinan sneered in his heart. He wanted to trick our adults into coming to the capital. Wouldn't it mean that there will be no return, no one is stupid, "Please rest assured, my lord, my determination will not be wrong."

Really cautious, his own life is more important than his daughter, Zhao Zhiang didn't speak.

"Then there is no other way, Yue'er is my wife, you can't take her away." Zhao Zhiting said.

When Zhuang Yinan faced Zhao Zhiting, his tone was a bit off, "Your Highness, is our lady really your wife?"

Zhao Zhiting was stunned, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly became embarrassed.

Hu Qiongyue choked on the side, sobbing twice.

"Your Highness, she is our lord's concubine daughter. Although she was young and wandered outside, if she recognizes her family relatives now, how can she...have a child with her without a name or distinction, and become a concubine?" Zhuang Yinan said : "If our wife finds out about this, she will be heartbroken and hopeless, and she will fall ill again."

With that said, he sighed heavily.

"Are you blaming me? You didn't come to recognize your relatives long ago, but you came now, causing Yue'er to suffer so much, and now you blame me for not giving him a title." Zhao Zhiting was sullen.

Zhuang Yinan defended, "Students definitely don't mean that, it's just that every family has difficulties. Your Highness, think about it, Miss has other sisters. If it is passed back, how will her sisters behave outside."

That's right, Zhao Zhiting looked at Zhao Zhiang and said, "Grandfather...how about..."

"I won't discuss this matter for the time being. Mr. Zhuang, go back and rest first." Zhao Zhiang doesn't want to continue talking now, this matter is too sudden, he still needs to digest it, Zhuang Yinan feels that he has said everything that needs to be said, he bowed and said, : "Yes, the student will leave."

Zhuang Yinan left the imperial study, the queen and Zhao Zhiting said: "You take Mrs. Hu to talk to the empress dowager first, and then go to the palace to have lunch later."

"Yes!" Zhao Zhiting took Hu Qiongyue out, and as soon as he left the imperial study, he whispered: "Yue'er, you are Xiao Shan's daughter, that's really great. In the afternoon, I will ask my grandfather to withdraw from the Cui family's marriage." , make you a concubine. I don’t want to marry anyone but you.”

Hu Qiongyue shook his hand back, nodded, and said: "As long as she can stay by His Highness's side, Yue'er is willing to do anything."

"I've wronged you. You suffered so much criticism just to be with me." Zhao Zhiting became happy again as he spoke, "Okay, no one will say anything about you in the future."

It turns out that she has such a good background, much higher than the Cui family, and the most important thing is that the other party is Xiao Shan.

The twists and turns of interest entanglements, counting them in detail, are too surprising.

It was a surprise, Hu Qiongyue said in a low voice: "Your Highness, can you accompany me to meet this Mr. Zhuang tonight?"

"Do you have questions?" Zhao Zhiting was puzzled, Hu Qiongyue shook his head, "I want to know more about my parents."

Human nature, Zhao Zhiting nodded.

In the imperial study room, the Queen asked Zhao Zhiang, "Your Majesty, what should we do about this matter? Mrs. Hu can't let him take her away. She is the person who runs the court, and she is not a small family. She takes people home when she calls. Besides, she is still Xiao Shan's daughter, so keeping her is a hindrance."

Zhao Zhiang has already thought about it, "Send someone halfway to meet the person in the Panyangbo mansion, and ask him about the adoption situation back then." See if you are right.

"Yes." The queen said: "The concubine will send someone to do it." She said and went out.

Su Wan was in Zhennan Hou's mansion at this moment, when she heard the news Zhou Feng got from the palace, she was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a long time, when Zhou Feng went out, she looked at Shen Zhan and said in horror: "... ...Someone is going to rob my cousin?"

She is too clear about Hu Qiongyue's identity.

Shen Zhan was still thinking about the meaning, but when he heard her words, he couldn't help laughing, patted her head, and said, "It can be seen that your cousin is valuable in the eyes of some people."

"Who thinks she's valuable?" Su Wanru didn't believe that Hu Qiongyue had the ability to climb Xiaoshan, "What's the value?"

Is it her relationship with Zhao Zhiting?
That's all there is to it.

"Why is it Hu Qiongyue?" Su Wanru couldn't understand this point, "Hu Qiongyue is not considered beautiful, nor is she considered versatile or considerate. Among outstanding women, she is really not outstanding. Why did the other party choose her to approach Zhao Zhiting?"

Shen Zhan looked at her and nodded her with his chin.

"So that's how it is." Su Wanru's heart immediately cooled down. What does this person... want to do?Or, what does she want Hu Qiongyue to do?
She had inquired about it. Hu Qiongyue was hiding in Uncle Panyang back then. He was kicked out at first. The other party didn't mean to like her at all. After she begged for a long time, they stayed her, but it was only on excuse, not to mention Treat it like a performance of your own love.

However, within two days, Uncle Fanyang and his wife changed their attitudes, became more affectionate to her, and even recognized her as a righteous daughter.

After recognizing her adopted daughter, she said to the outside world that she recognized her since she was a child, and now she is finally back.

This matter is so strange that Hu Qiongyue, who is desperate, doesn't think much about it. Otherwise, anyone should think about why the other party changed his attitude.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Qiongyue met Zhao Zhiting... After giving birth to a child and returning to Beijing, when she was about to be kicked out by Zhao Zhiang, someone from Chengdu came to recognize her relative, saying that she was Xiao Shan's daughter.

Xiao Shan's daughter, Zhao Zhiang dare not let her be the main concubine, a side concubine will definitely be named, so it is impossible to send Hu Qiongyue away.

How interesting, Su Wanru thought for a while, looked at Shen Zhan, and said, "Could it be that the person who helped her was that spy?"

"It should be." Shen Zhan said: "Except for him, no one else has such scheming methods."

Indeed!Su Wanru said: "Tell me, will he lead Hu Qiongyue to kill Zhao Zhiting? Hu Qiongyue shouldn't be so stupid, right...then kill Zhao Biao?" She felt that Hu Qiongyue might do Zhao Biao's death.

The father-in-law is not the husband, Zhao Biao is dead, and Zhao Zhiting is the grandson in line.

"Then, after the incident, he will be able to tell the world that all these things were done by the princess and princess of the Later Song Dynasty. The two planned to avenge the Later Song Dynasty, so they did many things, including framing Zhao Xu, At this time, he will be able to come out, stately and clean."

"I can't figure it out, why does Xiao Shan help?" Su Wanru said, "Xiao Shan belongs to him too? Why does he make such a fuss when he has Xiao Shan?"

Shen Zhan knocked on the table and leaned back on the chair without speaking, Su Wanru pushed him, he opened his eyes and looked at her, and asked: "Xiao Shan's child was lost 22 years ago, why did Zhuang Yinan go to the palace and say yes?" 14 years ago?"

"You mean, Xiao Shan was coerced. This person knows the whereabouts of Xiao Shan's child, and even stole Xiao Shan's child? So, in order to find the child, Xiao Shan had to cooperate with him to help Hu Qiongyue."

The letter sent to Xiao Shan was not to tell him the whereabouts of the child, but to tell him what to do to find out the whereabouts of his child.

"There should be nothing wrong with that." Shen Zhan said, "What do you think this person's ultimate goal is?"

Su Wanru's face froze for a moment, this was something she didn't want to think about, after a moment's pause, she said: "Let Zhao Zhongyuan ascend the throne!"

Zhao Jun grew up beside Zhao Zhiang, her biological mother was in the harem, and there was no one in her natal family, so even if she wanted to plot something, it should have already surfaced.

Only Zhao Yan, who came out halfway, was awarded with military merits.

No one knows what this military exploit is.

A mysterious person, who first acted as a spy in the army of the Later Song Dynasty, made the entire army of the Later Song Dynasty completely defeated by Zhao Zhiang. After Zhao Zhiang ascended the throne, he came to make trouble again and planned to kill all the descendants of the Zhao family... and the purpose was to make Zhao Yan superior.

"What should we do?" Su Wanru sat down in front of Shen Zhan, looking a little excited, "Tell me, what should we do."

Shen Zhan couldn't help laughing, looked at her with raised eyebrows, and said, "I'll listen to my wife, and I'll hit whatever my wife tells me."

Su Wanru covered her face with a smile, her eyes were sly, "Since I know what his real purpose is, then I won't be afraid of him. He's hiding in the dark, so let's find a way to bring him into the light."

Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.

He has prepared for so many years, step by step to today, she is the one who is really barefoot compared to him.

It's hard to say who will have the last laugh.

In Prince Ning's mansion, after listening to Zha Rongsheng's talk about Zhuang Yinan's affairs in the palace, Zhao Yan lost his composure for the first time and dropped the teacup. Zha Rongsheng was startled and said, "My lord, you didn't burn it." Bar?"

"It's okay." Zhao Yan frowned tightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I've been away for a few days, and if someone comes to me, they will say that I'm out on errands."

As he spoke, he grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and strode out the door.

"My lord, my lord, if you want to go out, you should take some money with you." Zha Rongsheng said, chased after him, and hurriedly handed his purse to Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan did not refuse, and patted Zha Rongsheng on the shoulder, wanting to speak And stop, finally out the door.

Zha Rongsheng sighed, and murmured: "What's going on, one strange thing after another."

　Not messy?It's the story of a very mysterious person who went "deep into the tiger's den" several times!I feel that the pig's foot of the story should be replaced by that mysterious person, hahahaha~
