"I see." After listening to Concubine Lan's words, Minghui smiled bitterly, and then he looked at Concubine Lan seriously and asked, "Mother, what would you do if I helped Ming Tao deal with Fang Tingjun one day?"

"Me? You are my son, and we are one, what do you say? Besides, King Yan was originally the son of Concubine Gong, he was fostered by the emperor under the name of the queen back then, but the queen has disappeared, and no one takes care of King Yan at all. Speaking of this, Concubine Lan paused for a moment and fell into a memory, and only after a long time did she continue: "I was alone in the palace at that time, and I was already too busy to take care of you, and I didn't have time to take care of His Royal Highness King Yan. Thinking about it, I'm very sorry for the concubine back then. If you can help King Yan, I will also have the face to meet the concubine under Jiuquan in the future. Speaking of Ming Tao, Concubine Lan couldn't help but say sadly.

"Mother, thank you, it's my luck to have a mother like you." Minghui said movingly. Since he came back, he was most worried about Concubine Lan, he didn't want to turn against Concubine Lan's mother and son, but he had to help Ming Tao, and he had been in a dilemma these days. If he knew that Concubine Lan was reacting like this, he should have made it clear to Concubine Lan earlier.

"As long as you think it's possible, you do it. No matter how it ends, the mother will bear it with you. Concubine Lan stretched out her hand and patted the back of Minghui's hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Princess! It's just that grandpa ...... here" Thinking of Fang Tingjun, Minghui couldn't help but worry that Concubine Lan would be embarrassed. Even if Fang Tingjun is not Concubine Lan's biological father, Concubine Lan is all helped by Fang Tingjun today. He didn't want Concubine Lan to turn against Fang Tingjun because of him.

"He? It's just an old fox, he didn't take care of our mother and son before, and now he just wants to use us to make a fuss. Speaking of Fang Tingjun, Concubine Lan couldn't help but sneer and said. It was indeed Fang Tingjun who saved their mother and son back then, and she was indeed grateful to Fang Tingjun back then, but as time passed, after she slowly got to know Fang Tingjun, she would not be unaware of Fang Tingjun's intentions at all, but their mother and son still rely on the Fang family to survive, and she didn't dare to show the Fang family's dissatisfaction at will. Today, their mother and son finally opened the topic, and there was no need for her to hide her dissatisfaction with the Fang family from Minghui.

"Don't look at Taishi's current position and power, very remarkable, in fact, he was just an inconspicuous fourth-grade official back then. If it weren't for the fact that he found out the cause of Concubine Gong's death and accepted me as a righteous daughter, the emperor would not have reused him little by little, let alone the current Taishi Fang Tingjun. ”

"How can there be such a thing?" Minghui looked at Concubine Lan in surprise. "By the way, does my mother know how Fang Tingjun said it to my father back then, so that my father didn't doubt my background at all?"

"I don't know how Fang Tingjun knew about Guo Ting's unmarried birth of a child and union with Concubine Gong, but no matter how he knew about it, he must know a lot about it, otherwise the emperor wouldn't believe him without any suspicion." Concubine Lan said with a sneer.

"My mother lived in Fang's house back then, and of course the old fox knew about it very well." Minghui said with a sneer. If it weren't for the fact that his cousin knew about his background and told him about it, he wouldn't have thought of this.

"You said that Guo Ting lived in Fang's house back then? Can you be sure? Concubine Lan asked in surprise. If this is the case, then Concubine Gong's death may have a lot to do with Fang Tingjun.

"Absolutely. My cousin Fang Jiaming is actually not a child of the Fang family, he is a descendant of the Guo family. And he said that when his mother was pregnant, he lived with their mother and son in the Fang family. Minghui said affirmatively.

"I see." Concubine Lan looked at Minghui and nodded, no longer speaking. These things were beyond her comprehension, and she had to go back and figure it out. Especially now that their family lives in Fang's house, they must be more cautious. "In the future, the emperor should not leave the house easily and tell you that those people in the house are all staying in the courtyard, in case of an accident, everyone can take care of them together."

"I know, thank you, mother, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that even if my father didn't kill me, I would definitely be bullied by other princes, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have everything I have now." Looking at Concubine Lan, Minghui said gratefully.

"Needless to say, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been the imperial concubine for so many years, and I should thank you for it." Concubine Lan said with a smile.

"We are mother and son, and these are our respective fates." Minghui said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Concubine Lan smiled and nodded, "It's been too long to come out today, let's go back!" ”

"Hmmm! The son sent his mother back. ”

Minghui was sending Concubine Lan back to her own courtyard when it was lunch time, and after Minghui accompanied Concubine Lan to lunch, he returned to his room, reading a book while thinking about the past things that Concubine Lan had just said. I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. He never thought that he was actually Mu Kun's son, and he was also Mu Yunqiao's younger brother. Thinking of his previous calculations, Ji Mingtao and Mu Yunqiao were calculated in every possible way. He regretted it. Fortunately, everything has passed now, and he will definitely compensate Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao in the future.

"Ah......" was a little sleepy, Minghui stretched his waist and shouted to the attendant at the door: "Xiao Qi, come in!"

"The little one has seen the prince!" Xiao Qi quickly walked into the room and saluted Minghui.

"Hmmm! Get up! Minghui glanced at Xiao Qi and said, "This king is tired, I want to take a nap, don't let anyone disturb this king, do you know?"

"Yes, lord." Xiao Qi replied respectfully. Then he left the room, and when he left, he closed Minghui's door casually.

After Xiao Qi left, Minghui took off his coat and lay on the bed to prepare to rest. Who knew that he had just laid down when he heard a familiar knocking sound from under his bed.

Minghui suddenly got up and opened the bed, only to see that there was a secret passage under Minghui's bed. Minghui walked in along the secret passage without hesitation. Sure enough, I saw Fang Jiaming waiting for him there.

"Cousin, don't you come here every day in the afternoon to meet me? Why is it so early today? Seeing Fang Jiaming, Minghui asked with a smile. After getting the exact news of Concubine Lan today, he knew his true background. It's a good mood.

"Nothing. It's just that recently I heard that Qian Xiaoyou is going back to Beijing, and it's time for us to discuss the next thing. Looking at Minghui's smiling face, Fang Jiaming said directly. That's why he was in a hurry to find Minghui.

Since Minghui went to Yanjing Capital a few months ago, no one knew what Minghui did, but the next day Mu Yunqiao's younger brother Mu Yunbao became seriously ill. The result of the doctor's examination was that there was a problem with the gift given by Minghui. For such a thing, Mingtao did not say it explicitly, and Minghui never mentioned it, and fled directly from Yanjing back to the capital.

Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao naturally couldn't let go of the harmful Minghui, and just three days after Minghui left Yanjing, Mingtao led an army of 300,000 to the capital.

Ming Tao passed all the way, and Fang Tingjun and those people naturally couldn't watch Ming Tao break through the gate of the capital all the way. So even though they knew that Qian Xiaoyou was not Ming Tao's opponent, they still let Qian Xiaoyou lead the troops to the battle.

In fact, Fang Tingjun and those people didn't know that Qian Xiaoyou no longer resented Ming Tao since he lost to Ming Tao, and even he was no longer so enthusiastic about fame and fortune. So although Qian Xiaoyou still led the troops to the expedition this time, he didn't really want to fight Ming Tao. This is the reason why Ming Tao marched so fast.

It's just that Ming Tao has not been very lucky recently, and he actually met a strong opponent and was forced to stay in Liaocheng, Shandong, and could no longer move forward.

Those people had new candidates to lead the troops, and Qian Xiaoyou was naturally forced to hand over the military power and return to the capital. But Qian Xiaoyou didn't care about this at all, anyway, he didn't want to go against Ming Tao anymore, he just wanted to stay at home and live his life as a free marquis.

"What's next? What can we do? Minghui looked at Fang Jiaming puzzled and asked.

"Of course, we are trying to win Qian Xiaoyou to our side." Fang Jiaming said with a smile.

"How is this possible? Not to mention that even if Qian Xiaoyou doesn't go against the fourth brother, he will definitely not help the fourth brother. Minghui shook his head and said.

"I think it's entirely possible. Didn't you notice that Ming Tao's victory this time was a little unexpected? Looking at Minghui, Fang Jiaming reminded with a smile.

"Qian Xiaoyou was not the fourth brother's opponent in the first place, what is strange about him withdrawing from the army." Minghui said with a sneer. Ever since I knew my background. After finding his sister, his whole person changed. In his heart, he was even more hopeful that Ming Tao could win as soon as possible and catch those old foxes as soon as possible.

"It's not strange that Qian Xiaoyou was defeated, it's strange that he lost a little too quickly. Maybe that Qian Xiaoyou doesn't want to go against Ming Tao anymore! Fang Jiaming said with a smile.

"Then it's impossible for him to help the fourth brother and the eldest sister!" Minghui still felt that Fang Jiaming was a little whimsical.

"How could it not be? Don't forget, there is also a Yin Xinlian and a Shu Anping in Yanjing City. If Ming Tao really failed in the battle, then Yin Xinlian and Shu Anping would be killed as rebels and thieves. Even if Qian Xiaoyou doesn't care about Yin Xinlian, he must care about Shu Anping's safety. So he will definitely help Ming Tao. Fang Jiaming said confidently.

"It's possible for my cousin to say that. If you have a chance, you can go talk to Qian Xiaoyou. Minghui listened to Fang Jiaming's analysis and nodded and said. If they can really do that, they will be more powerful in the capital. In addition, Qian Xiaoyou's wife is the cousin of the queen's mother, it is not difficult for him to find an errand in the capital, and those old foxes will definitely not guard against Qian Xiaoyou. This is exactly the opportunity they need most.

"I'll do this thing, if you have time, you still have to ask Concubine Lan about the things back then, at least we have to know. How many friends and foes do we have. Fang Jiaming explained to Minghui.
