"How can he trust you?" Fang Nuo asked curiously.

"This is thanks to the people of the Four Princes' faction, with the handwritten edict of the eldest prince, that He Mingchen used to be a secretary, and he was very clear about the affairs of officialdom, and after reading that edict, he agreed to go with us."

Liu Qin sighed: "This He Mingchen is really a rare chivalrous man, and it is worth it for Lord Xie to have such a heart-to-heart friend." ”

"yes." Everyone sighed.

"I found it in the valley." Lei Hu opened a burden in his hand, took out an abacus, and put it on the table, while looking at Fang Nuo.

It is a nanmu abacus, delicate, small, maybe it is too old, and the valley is dark and damp, there are traces of corrosion in many places, but because it is made of nanmu, it is not completely decayed.

"Daddy......"

Fang Nuo stood up suddenly, rushed to the table, grasped the abacus tightly in his hand, and stared blankly.

I watched it for a long time, for a long time, until tears flowed down my cheeks and fell on the abacus beads, and then I trembled my hands, gently stroked each bead, stroked the border, and stroked every place, as if I was caressing my father's once burly body, that smiling face......

"Daddy......"

Holding the abacus, there seemed to be a sound in my ears about my father's voice, "Nuo'er, when you inherit our family's craftsmanship, your father will pass this abacus to you, why, can't you look down on it?" This is the treasure of our Fang family, just like the jade pendant on your body, it has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, and I don't know how many generations it has been passed on. ”

Daddy, Nuo'er has been waiting for you to come back, so as to take over this abacus in your hand, Nuo'er has been waiting for you for ten years, ten years! In the end, all I had to wait for was this abacus......

A great grief welled up in his heart, and Fang Nuo buried his face in his arms, holding the abacus as if he were holding his father's bones, and whimpered silently.

The people in the house were all sad to see him so sad, but they didn't know how to comfort him, the pain of losing their relatives who depended on each other, the pain of looking forward to the last ten years of emptiness, and any language was so pale.

After a while, Fang Nuo stood up, took the abacus, and walked out of the room with a blank face.

"Arnold."

"Third Young Master......"

Liu Qin and Changsheng wanted to chase them out, but Jiang Li stopped them, "Don't go, let him stay alone for a while." ”

"Brother Lei, have you found Daddy Arnold's bones?"

Hearing Liu Qin's question, Lei Hu shook his head, "Alas, when I saw the abacus, I guessed that Xu was Arnold's father, and I also wanted to find the bones of the old man, but they were scattered everywhere, and I couldn't tell who was who, no way, and finally I dug a big pit with Ling Feng and buried everyone together." ”

When everyone heard his words, their hearts were even more sad, and they could not even keep their bones when they died, and there was no grave, so that future generations would not even have a place to worship.

The people who should have cheered and celebrated because of Fang Nuo's father's matter, the entire mansion fell into a sentimental slump, and even Lei Hu only sat for a while, and then took Bai Lingfeng back to Zhuangzi.

But it was said that in the Five Princes' Mansion, early in the morning, the next person reported that someone asked to see His Highness.

Liu Jing lazily sorted out his clothes, drank tea, and had breakfast, before slowly pacing to the front hall.

In the front hall, Changxing, Changsheng and others were there, and when they saw Liu Jing, the two of them hurriedly got up and saluted and handed Liu Qin's letterhead.

After Liu Jing read the letter, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Please sit down, your son-in-law said that there are three big gifts for this prince, I don't know what kind of big gifts?" ”

Changxing bowed down and took an object beside him, a small black box, and handed it over, "This is the first big gift." ”

Liu Jing opened it, but it was a stack of silver tickets, a rough look, there were about 100,000 taels, and he was overjoyed, so he covered the box and put it at hand.

Seeing Liu Jing's happy face, Changxing continued: "The second big gift will arrive later, please wait patiently for a while." ”

Sure enough, before half a cup of tea was drunk, the housekeeper hurriedly walked in, attached a few words to Liu Jing's ear, and handed over a roll of paper at the same time, but it was a complaint when it was opened, Liu Jing hurriedly browsed it, and after reading it, he was overjoyed, slapped the table and smiled: "Okay, great." ”

He turned back to Changxing and smiled: "Your son-in-law's gift is very much in line with the prince's wishes, and he bothered to go back and say it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"However, it seems that there are only two of them, and I wonder what the third one is?"

"My son-in-law said, His Royal Highness avenges Lord Xie and seeks justice for the people of Hengzhou, and the day this case is in the open day, it is when His Royal Highness is famous all over the world, and what His Royal Highness does will be praised by all the people, and it will be supported by all the people, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world! This is the greatest gift my son-in-law has given to His Royal Highness. ”

"Okay, it's the biggest gift, I didn't expect Xiao Gongzi to have such a strategy at such a young age, which makes this prince admire." Changxing's words made Liu Jing's heart bloom, and he couldn't control his feelings anymore, "Go back and tell your son-in-law, as long as he is loyal, he wants to soar, and if he wants to be a family dignitary, this prince can give it to him, hahaha......"

Changxing Changsheng promised to go by himself.

"Prepare the car and enter the palace." Liu Jing couldn't wait to order.

Today is not the day of the last dynasty, so there was no need to enter the palace, but now Liu Jing can't wait and is in a hurry to enter the palace to discuss with his mother.

Changchun Palace.

In the tall and magnificent palace, what you can see is full of glory, just like the current Changchun Palace, carved beams and painted buildings, piled up gold and jade, warm incense.

The palace maids walking in it were all light and silent.

"Niangniang, Your Highness is here."

Although the concubine Niangniang who sat on the beauty couch was forty years old, she was as well maintained as her twenties, surrounded by beads and emeralds, and her face was delicate and charming, with a pearl-like luster.

Hearing the palace maid's report, Cao Guifei slowly opened her slightly closed eyes, looked at the young man below and said with a smile: "Why is Jing'er here?" ”

"The son asks the concubine to say goodbye."

Liu Jing smiled and saluted his mother, and when he saw Cao Guifei waving, he took a few steps forward and sat next to her.

"There must be something, and I won't come to my mother if I have nothing to do."

"Look at what the mother said, can't the sons come to talk to the mother? Could it be that in the eyes of the mother, the sons are so unfilial? ”

"Your Highness is naturally filial, and even when His Majesty came here, he praised His Highness for his virtuous and filial piety."

Mama Wu, who was funny next to her, was the personal maid brought into the palace by the concubine, and now she is the housekeeper of Changchun Palace, and her status is not ordinary, otherwise she would not dare to interject so casually.

"Really? Mother, did the father really praise his son? ”

"Well, your father has liked you since he was a child, and often said that you are like him, with the demeanor of his past. Jing'er, if it weren't for the excessive power over there, and your father and emperor couldn't weigh it all the time, the crown prince would have been yours a long time ago. ”

At the mention of that side, the faces of the mother and son were gloomy at the same time, and the same hatred shot out of their eyes.

"Mother, look at this." Liu Jing remembered the purpose of entering the palace, and hurriedly took out the roll of paper from his arms.

Cao Guifei read it carefully, but she was not as excited as Liu Jing, and there was hesitation on her face.

"Mother, we now have the evidence in hand, just to hit the arrogance of the third child."

"This ...... With this, you can't move the third child, but in this way, it is to fight them head-on, officially declare war, Zhongshu Ling Wang said, we are still in a weak situation, it is best to recuperate, waiting for the best opportunity. (To be continued.) )
