Chapter Fifty-Eight: It's You
When Beiqi woke up the next day, he was already in the moving carriage, and Boss Zhang used the power he could use to hide Boss Guan's whereabouts, and went out of the city when it was just dawn.
What Boss Zhang said was not wrong, after losing Boss Guan's whereabouts, the angry General Yanlan quit smoking all over the city, posted wanted notices everywhere, and quickly began to investigate the Yongchang prince of Qingguo.
On the other side, after the queen left, the emperor fell into a deep sleep again, and after waking up, he was also in a daze, even if Chang Gui tried to explain the matter of Gongzhu to him, the emperor didn't understand anything. Chang Gui was very anxious in his heart, he didn't know if his godfather had gotten something that could prove the identity of the prince. Especially after secretly investigating the queen's every move, this urgency became more and more obvious.
"That's all, the others are things that have not yet come to fruition, although there is no clear news now, but that Gong Zhu should have escaped from the city, I heard General Yanlan say that at night, I will send someone to secretly go to the house of the minister of the DPRK to investigate, if there is no news, it will be out of the city."
was kneeling in front of Chang Gui to speak, and Xiao Lizi, a close attendant who had just been promoted to the queen's side, was pulled up by Chang Gui. Chang Gui took a fancy to his cleverness, sensibility and vision, but he didn't intend to keep it for himself, because sometimes he felt that Xiao Lizi had too many eyes and was not loyal enough. However, Chang Gui felt guilty for not grasping the queen's movements in time, and he didn't even know that his godfather was wanted. So Chang Gui thought of planting his own power beside the queen, and this person was Xiao Lizi.
Chang Gui's decision to put him next to the queen was also considered. Xiao Lizi is ambitious, Chang Gui allows him to be prosperous with his own glory and wealth, Xiao Lizi understands the current low position of Chang Gui, so he naturally will not refuse.
"Well, okay, you go back first. Remember, you must be careful when you come to me, and the queen should not make her suspicious. ”
"Adults can rest assured, small ones understand. The villain retired. ”
Xiao Lizi respectfully took a step back before turning around to open the door, and just opened the door to see the lotus flower that had been waiting outside for a long time. Xiao Lizi smiled and arched his hand to the lotus,
"Aunt Lotus is polite."
Lotus's annual leave is still small, not to mention that there is not much time to enter the palace, so she is categorically not qualified to be called 'aunt'. Lotus didn't know how to answer, and looked at Chang Gui, who was sitting and drinking tea in the room, Chang Gui nodded in acquiescence, and Lotus replied crampedly.
Xiao Lizi respectfully bypassed the lotus, and asked the lotus to enter the house to close the door, and then closed the door before straightening up.
Chang Gui was right, Xiao Lizi was indeed an ambitious person, he looked back at Chang Gui's room, and then at Zhengyang Palace, an upward momentum rose in his heart, and he chuckled again before leaving.
"How's it going, father-in-law, is there any news?"
"Nope."
Chang Gui was very irritable in his heart and didn't want to answer Lotus's words, Lotus also understood, so he didn't say any more, walked to Chang Gui's side, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Chang Gui again, and then began to clean up the house. Chang Gui silently looked at Lotus's busy back and didn't speak, but he didn't know why in his heart he felt a little more relaxed.
When Bei Qi woke up, he saw the scene around him and felt that he was dreaming, because he found that he was back in the rickety carriage, his mother was still holding her little hand so gently, grandma was still looking at him so gently, and grandpa was still frowning tightly and didn't know what he was thinking.
Bei Qi rubbed his eyes and shook his head again, wanting to wake up from the dream only to find that it was still the same scene.
"Mother."
Bei Qi gently called his mother, and the seventh girl immediately helped Bei Qi up from her lap, gently wiped Bei Qi's little face, and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
"Mother, we, are we in the carriage?"
The seventh girl smiled softly and nodded gently.
"So, am I dreaming?"
The seventh girl smiled even deeper, and Granny Chunfu also smiled and said,
"Silly boy, of course it's not a dream, you've been asleep for a long time."
For a while, Northern Qi still seemed to be a little unacceptable. How could this be, how could he just sleep and go back to the carriage he didn't like, how could he pull him back into the carriage without saying anything.
Beiqi's unhappy appearance was seen by the three adults, but Beiqi didn't know why he didn't cry or make trouble this time, and he didn't say anything. The seventh girl guessed that Gong Zhu had told him before, the reason why they had been running for their lives, and Beiqi might have thought that he had run away for his life again in the exam, so he was unhappy. Thinking of this, the seventh girl took Beiqi into her arms, and touched his head with some distress.
Gong Zhu looked at Beiqi and felt the holy decree on his chest again.
"Northern Qi, come, come to grandpa's side."
Beiqi was reluctant to move at first, but he slowly rubbed it and sat down next to Gong Zhu.
Gong Zhu also touched Beiqi's head like the seventh girl,
"Northern Qi, do you remember where the last time grandpa told a story?"
"Huh?"
Beiqi didn't expect his grandfather to ask like this, but he reacted immediately.
"Speaking of grandpa, he gave that girl to grandpa's friend."
Maybe Gong Zhu told the story too vividly, and Northern Qi seemed to be very interested in this story.
"Then, grandpa will give you the rest of the story, okay?"
"Okay, okay, tell me about it too."
The unhappy expression on Beiqi's face was swept away, and it was replaced by an excited face.
"Hehe, what a ......"
Gong Zhu's storytelling voice was particularly abrupt in the carriage, or maybe the Seven Girls and Chunfu Granny were also listening carefully, as well as the flowery face driving the carriage outside. Although they didn't know the whole story, they were obviously not so quiet because they wanted to hear it, they were all waiting, waiting for an eight-year-old child to react when he learned about his background.
After a long time,
"So, grandpa, did you survive? Did the girl survive? ”
"Hehe, of course Grandpa survived, otherwise who are you calling Grandpa now?"
Gong Zhu smiled,
"Oops, too, hehe. What about grandpa, that girl? ”
"That girl survived, and your grandmother managed to save her, and she really had my friend's child."
"Really, what about that kid?"
Gong Zhu no longer spoke, but looked at Beiqi calmly. The Seventh Girl and Granny Chunfu also held their breath.
"That's you."
"Huh? What the? ”
"It's you, Northern Qi. That girl is your mother, and you are my friend's child. ”
Beiqi didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, and he wasn't sure what his grandfather was talking about.
Isn't he grandpa's grandson? Isn't his father long dead? Didn't his mother stay at the inn because of an accident? Is he grandma's favorite grandson? So, who is he? Who is his father?
