Soon after the Hengwang Mansion moved back to Beijing, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

Too many things have happened this year, three of the seven princes have been deposed as concubines, and the atmosphere in the palace can be imagined. In order to ease the atmosphere, on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Jinhe took the children to the palace to greet the emperor's grandfather and grandmother. A few children were lively for a day, until the evening to eat the reunion dinner, and the Hengwang couple came back together, this year the people in the capital palace have gathered, Chu Xue and Li Jiaoyun Xia Wanyin together, in the house with a reunion dinner.

On the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Jinhe went back to his parents' home.

As the father-in-law of King Heng, the Peiguo Mansion is now more glorious than before, and successfully assisted the Heng King to take down the rebellion of the prince of Pingnan, Xu Jilin, and for a while became the best choice for everyone to be eager to tie up.

When Xu Jinhe entered the door, there were many Mid-Autumn Festival gifts sent from all over the world gathered in the courtyard a few days ago, and the scene was very shocking.

But the protagonist Xu Jilin didn't have time to pay attention to these.

The general trend in Beijing is certain, and his people have begun to investigate Chu Xue's life history again. A few days ago, the henchmen sent to Jinzhou finally found out some news, and found an extremely key person to come back - Chu Xue's nurse when she was young, Zheng.

It is said that due to Chu Xue's illness that year, the Chu family almost changed all the subordinates who served him closely, even the nurse that Mrs. Chu found for Chu Xue from her mother's house. Although the Chu family is to prevent the spread of the epidemic in Fuzhong, they dismissed dozens of subordinates at once, is this step a bit exaggerated?

The most important thing is that, according to the nurse's recollection, they were sent out of the palace in the summer of nine years ago, not long after he went to Weizhou to get rid of the Yue family, which is even more suspicious......

For the sake of insurance, Xu Jilin's henchman Zhao Ji simply brought the nurse to the capital to see if there was a chance for her to recognize Chu Xue in person, after all, she was a person who had been brought for nine years, even if the changes were great, she could always find some traces. If even the nurse can't recognize Chu Xue, then there will be a lot of articles in it.

After Xu Jinhe finished asking his father Pei Guogong for peace, his brother Xu Jilin had a secret conversation with her.

At first glance, when he heard his brother's speculation about Chu Xue's life experience, Xu Jinhe was very surprised.

She didn't know about the grievances between her brother and the Yue family, and when the Yingyue Bloody Case occurred, she had followed King Heng to Yanzhou, so naturally she didn't know these inside information. So now when she knew Xu Jilin's suspicions, she was inevitably shocked. But after nearly half an hour of secret conversation between the two, her shock slowly dissipated, and she felt a little sudden in her heart.

Since Chu Xue entered the mansion for more than a year, she has become more and more tricky, this woman is beyond imagination to deal with, in Yanzhou, where the emperor is far away, she has been able to resolve her repeated shots one by one, and now that she has returned to the capital, it is even more difficult to rectify her?

Song Chen favored Chu Xue too much, so that Xu Jinhe's serious rights as a princess could not be taken at all. That sum of money is recorded in her heart, and after years of fermentation, she has hated her!

Now, her brother told her this secret, which made her see hope for a moment.

If Chu Xue is really the remnant of the Yue family, as the daughter of a criminal minister, and conceals her identity, Song Chen has no reason to spoil her anymore, and it is an important case supervised by the current Shengshangjian and the emperor, if the Chu family really dares to bully the king, then how can there be a chance to escape the crime, it must be beheaded!

This is actually also in Xu Jilin's consideration, I heard that the Qin family and the Chu family rebuilt the old friendship a while ago, and the Chu and Qin families are the heroes of the success of King Heng, if there is no Chu Lin to impeach the prince, the prince will not jump over the wall and rebel; If Qin Yuan hadn't detected the changes of Jing Weisi's rebel minister Zeng Xin in advance, King Heng would not have taken the lead before the palace change. King Heng has always been very good at employing people, and after ascending the throne, he will definitely reuse the two families.

And these two families have long hated him because of the Yue family's affairs.

If they join forces, he may not be able to deal with it himself, so if this breakthrough in Chu Xue's life experience can defeat the Chu family, he will definitely use it.

Xu Jilin told Xu Jinhe, "I heard that the emperor's health has been getting worse and worse recently, I'm afraid it won't last long, and the case of the Yue family is supervised by him, so if you want to make a fuss with the remnants of the Yue family, you must make a fuss as soon as possible." ”

Xu Jinhe nodded, "I understand, brother, don't worry, if there is really anything suspicious, I will definitely do it as soon as possible." ”

If you don't start early, with Song Chen's favor for Chu Xue, she will definitely be crowned in a high position when she ascends the throne in the future, and then add her mother's family behind her, it will be difficult to clean it up.

It didn't take long for Xu Jinhe to meet Chu Xue's nurse Zheng.

The Zheng family has been living in their hometown of Jinju for many years, and they are married and taught children at home on weekdays, and their lives are stable. She actually didn't want to come all the way to the capital, but Zhao Ji had no choice but to take a lot of money to tempt, her husband and son in that small place had never seen so much money, and at first glance, the two white silver ingots were straight.

So much silver, their family has to work on that thin field for several lifetimes to get it!

So without letting the Zheng family open their mouths at all, the Zheng family's father and son responded, not to mention just going to the capital for a trip, it is estimated that they sold their wife and mother, and they were also willing.

Zheng is a simple-minded woman, when she was raising Chu Xue in the past, there was only one female dependant in the Chu Mansion, so she had never seen the so-called wives and concubines fighting, and she didn't understand these twists and turns. At this moment, when I saw Xu Jinhe, who was smiling kindly, she thought that this was a kind housewife, so as soon as Xu Jinhe inquired about Chu Xue's childhood, she also said everything she could remember.

Xu Jinhe listened, and she didn't forget to put on a warm smile on her face, as if she really liked this woman who robbed her husband, and the old things that came out of Zheng's mouth flashed through her mind, but she didn't seem to find anything suspicious.

Zheng said a lot of joy, and after a while, he said, "Our young lady, when I was a child, I liked to eat the sweet cake of osmanthus I made the most, and every time the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard bloomed in the autumn, I didn't need to tell my subordinates, I would pick a big handful of them back by myself, and tell me to make ...... for her."

Xu Jinhe's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, Qiu Gui also turned his head to look at her, and interrupted Zheng's words after receiving her eyes, "You say, Mrs. Xue loved sweet cakes when she was a child?" Does she really like sweets? ”

Zheng didn't think about why the other party asked like this, and nodded truthfully, "Yes!" When our young lady was a child, she loved sweets the most. She used to be in poor health and couldn't do without decoction all day long. How bitter the soup is, how can a child stand it, I often prepare some candied fruit or something sweet snacks for her, and make some sweet cakes and sweet soup for her whenever I have time. Every time she catches up with the temple fair, the old lady doesn't let her go out, but she also asks people to bring her a sugar gourd or something new, by the way, Miss she loves to eat sugar gourd......"

Xu Jinhe smiled in his heart, Chu Xue doesn't like sweetness, this is a fact that the entire palace knows, and this one alone is a big suspicion.

She was thinking about it, and then she heard Zheng ask, "I haven't seen our young lady for many years, I wonder if she is in better health now?" Do you still need to drink decoction all day? ”

Since Chu Xue entered the mansion, she has rarely been sick, and her physique can't be seen to be weak when she was a child, otherwise with Liao Zhong's secret methods, she would be able to worry less about snacks.

Xu Jinhe said with a smile: "Sister Xue's health is much better, and she doesn't get sick." ”

"That's good." Zheng nodded and sighed, "After so long, I wonder if I can still see Miss?" ”

"What's so hard about that?" Xu Jinhe said lightly: "Since you have come to the capital and met this princess, it is not difficult to meet Sister Xue." This princess will go back to the palace later, and I can take you with me. ”

"Really?" Zheng was overjoyed.

saw Qiu Gui and said, "You old woman, how can our princess lie to you?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's the old body who said it wrong......" Zheng hurriedly smiled. This is the dignified Princess Heng, the future queen mother, she can come to the front today to say things for so long, but it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

Xu Jinhe didn't care, only instructed, "It's not good to go to see Sister Xue empty-handed, you first go to the kitchen to make some sweets that Sister Xue loved when she was a child, and when you meet, it will be regarded as a meeting gift!" I haven't tasted your craft for so many years, and she must miss it very much! ”

"Hey, good! Or the princess is thoughtful! The old body will go. ”

Zheng sighed in his heart for the intimacy of this princess, and at the same time raised his feet and went to the kitchen.

Wantang Garden.

Chu Xue has not been in good spirits recently, she always feels tired, and in the usual afternoon, half an hour of rest is enough, but in recent days, she often has to sleep for two hours, and she is not willing to get up until dinner is about to be set. She felt that she must have been too worried a while ago, and now she is so tired, but Song Chen is also busy, and often has to finish dinner to come over, and now that it is cold and comfortable, she just sleeps peacefully.

Today, she had just slept for half an hour, and Danweiyuan sent someone over, saying that she was invited over for tea. Yanling Ruyue listened to her instructions and gave way to Danwei Yuan, although she didn't want to quarrel with her, she also woke her up.

When she heard that it was Xu Jinhe who passed on her, her sleepiness disappeared immediately, and she went over after taking care of her makeup, and brought Ruyue by the way. Since I went to drink tea, I took Ruyue, a smart nose, yes.

Chu Xue was a little surprised by Xu Jinhe's summons, she knew that Xu Jinhe hated her, and she would rather pass on Li Jiaoyun than come to her if there was anything on weekdays, but today she called herself to drink tea...... Chu Xue suddenly became vigilant, and secretly told Ruyue a few words, and Ruyue naturally understood and nodded.

When she came to Danwei Garden, she found that Xu Jinhe not only passed her today, but Li Jiaoyun and Xia Wanyin were also there, and even Xiao Song Ning also came. There are children here, Xu Jinhe will not be too ugly, Chu Xue relaxed a little.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Xu Jinhe said with a smile: "Today I went back to the Peiguo Mansion, and by the way, I brought some persimmons picked in the grange a few days ago, and it is best to eat persimmons at this time, so I asked you all to come and try it." Our palace has just moved back, and we haven't had time to buy a grange, and after a while, the prince will be free, and I also mentioned to him that there is a grange where you can grow some fruits, vegetables and food by yourself, which is better than coming from outside. ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring up the cut fruit, and a room of children and relatives tasted it, and they all nodded and smiled.

After two quarters of an hour, seeing that the atmosphere in the room was soothing, Xu Jinhe looked at Chu Xue specifically, as if he had unintentionally mentioned it, "By the way, Sister Xue, a few days ago, there was a new group of people in the Peiguo Mansion, and I happened to meet them when I went back today, it was a coincidence, there was one of your acquaintances!" ”

Chu Xue was stunned, her acquaintance ......

However, before she could think about it anymore, Xu Jinhe continued: "She hasn't seen you for many years, but I think you have to think about it, I see that she is quick with her hands and feet, and she is also diligent, thinking that there is just a shortage of an elderly person in your yard, so I brought her over, now call her out first, you will meet?" Look at it after so many years, can you still recognize it? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Gui, who nodded and called out the door, "Bring someone up." ”

Chu Xue's heart suddenly beat hard, she knew that Xu Jinhe was going to make a move again, her acquaintance? Her acquaintance had already been killed by Xu Jilin in Weizhou, how could there be any acquaintances? Is that what she is talking about now...... Who is that little cousin?

She forced herself to remain calm and not show anything unusual, and smiled and accosted, "That's really a matter of Princess Lao's trouble, I really don't know which acquaintance it is?" ”

As she was talking, she saw a middle-aged woman come in from outside the door, she felt a little familiar for a moment, and before she could think of it, she heard a cry of surprise like a moon around her.

"Mama Zheng!"
