Han Ji looked at him quietly for a moment, then lowered his eyes to the ground.

Eighteen years of unknown experience allowed him to distinguish the truth of his words, Shen Yan was right, he really didn't know that the E family poisoned him. He didn't know about E's poisoning, but E's still poisoned him, does that mean that he is really his illegitimate son? Only in this way will the E clan hurt him out of jealousy?

There was an unexpected silence in the room.

The firelight in the hearth was reflected on the faces of the two, and their faces were particularly three-dimensional and a little gloomy against the shadows.

Wei Guogong was apprehensive after all, he had been galloping on the battlefield for so many years, and he was not afraid of life and death, but in the silence of this moment, he was afraid that what Han Ji said was the truth, and he was at a loss that he had told the lie for more than ten years to be known by the E family, blaming himself for being ashamed of his wife and son, and at the same time betraying her entrustment under Jiuquan.

He felt like a complete loser.

Han Ji reached out and took the golden lotus in his hand, and said, "Brother Yun is the patriarch of the Han family, it's good. But I like this very much, why don't you give it to me, father? ”

Wei Guogong raised his head, and when he saw that the golden lotus was already in his hand, his body involuntarily sat up straight, "This can't be done." Whatever you want, I'll give you everything. ”

How can this be given to him? Even if he has a deep connection to it.

"But that's all I want." Han Ji held the golden lotus in his hand and looked left and right.

I never thought it was so strange before, and even if I knew, it was just a passing thing, but now I look closely. The rosette made of heavy red gold is about six inches long, and the two eighteen-petaled lotus flowers are next to each other, and every horn is wiped clean and clean. "Father is so precious that it must have been given by a very good friend. Don't know who this person is? ”

Wei Guogong was in high spirits, "You don't know you when you say it." ”

"Is it surnamed Gong?" Han Ji looked at him.

He paused. Gave him a quick look.

He shouldn't have known the origin of this golden lotus.

He secretly clenched his fists and pinched his palms, his expression returned to normalcy little by little, and after a while, he raised his head, picked up the pot, and said casually: "I don't know the person surnamed Gong, why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

Han Ji looked at the cyan on his knuckles that had not yet faded. Raised his lips slightly: "That day in the big camp." Occasionally, I hear a general surnamed Gong boasting that he has a friendship with you for more than ten years. After speaking, he looked over again and continued: "But I heard again that Princess Chen and her father used to be old acquaintances? ”

Wei Guogong froze and looked at him for a moment. said: "Many people in the court went north with the army. Many people know Princess Chen. He put the cup back on the table. said, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"I'm just curious." Han Ji smiled slightly, "I heard that Princess Chen is a beauty. ”

Wei Guogong's expression was slightly gloomy, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I don't remember." So many years. "Look at the rosette. He added, "This rosette was captured by your grandfather, and I saw the exquisiteness and left it." I don't know anyone surnamed Gong, and Princess Chen is just nodding on the battlefield, don't listen to the people below boasting. ”

Han Ji smiled and didn't speak.

He felt a little powerless.

The more he explained, the more casual he was, and the more he explained that the truth was in line with the speculation that Shen Yan had provided him. Before coming, he had already gone to the dark grid to find all the records about Princess Chen and carefully read them, he saw the appearance of the golden lotus mentioned above, although the golden lotus is not a rare thing, but it is also an eighteen-petal flower, when he mentioned the old friend surnamed Gong, he was surprised at the moment, do you need to say more?

He ignored this thing for eighteen years, which originally meant his biological mother.

From the moment he knew that he had been poisoned by the E, he imagined day and night what would happen if he was still by Princess Chen's side. How does it feel to imagine being cherished by your biological mother?

Because he couldn't bear the consequences, he never went to his adoptive father, who had been called by him for more than ten years, to verify why he brought him back to the Han family, but he didn't expect the final truth to be that the person in front of him was actually his father.

Such a truth is too speechless.

He held the cup of tea and didn't eat it for a long time.

He felt that his life was a bit ridiculous, and for twelve of the first eighteen years, he regarded himself as the son of King Chen, but he only turned out to be the illegitimate child of Princess Chen's adultery with the man in front of him. The hero Wu Lie is like King Chen, who was cuckolded by his wife, and he didn't even know it until he died.

And the Duke of Wei in front of him, on the one hand, he was a good father and a good husband in front of people, on the other hand, he was adulterous with a married woman, and on the other hand, he also brought back the illegitimate child born outside the country to be raised by the original partner, didn't he think that the E family would not accept him as an illegitimate son who could not even be called a concubine?

Of course, in a certain way, he has to be grateful to him, after all, he is his biological father, after all, he did not seek advantage and avoid harm at a critical time to leave their mother and son, otherwise he would not be lucky enough to live until now. But Princess Chen is still dead after all, isn't she? E's still poisoned him after all, didn't he?

If it weren't for the fact that he had given him over to the E's raising, how could the E's poison him? Even if he didn't know that E's poisoned him, but for her crime, didn't he have any responsibility at all?

What is a sanctimonious hypocrite? He is in front of him.

He put the cup on the table, held the table, and got up.

"It's not too early, I'll go back first."

He bowed his head and retreated, without looking up again, and walked to the door.

Wei Guogong stared at him with his eyebrows and did not say anything.

And he walked to the threshold, stopped, and turned back: "Just let Brother Yun be the sect leader, I have no opinion." ”

Anyway, he will return this title to him in the future, and he has never thought of getting involved in this business.

Wei Guogong waited until his footsteps disappeared until he couldn't hear him, and then withdrew his gaze in confusion.

Luo Wei pushed the door and walked in, looked at the kettle that was still bubbling suddenly, reached out to carry it, and opened the copper stove again.

Wei Guogong handed him the cup and said, "You go and find out who your wife has been in contact with since she gave birth to Ji'er, what happened, and see if Ji'er has been in contact with King Chen's old department over the years." ”

Luo Wei was stunned: "King Chen's old department? Haven't all King Chen's old troops been killed? How can there still be an old ministry? ”

"There were tens of thousands of people under King Chen at that time, how could they all be killed? The first emperor was prepared before punishing King Chen, and specially sent people south to kill him according to the list of high-level civil and military ministers who surrounded King Chen, but in addition, there must be some people who have no name, if they know Ji'er's deposit, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come to the door to tell him the truth. ”

Wei Guogong stood up, walked to the window and looked at the snowflakes outside the window, his face was solemn like never before, "He has found out that his own poison was caused by his wife, although he said that there is no evidence, but I think he has." If he finds out the cause of his poison, I'm afraid he'll find out about his origins! ”

Luo Wei was also stunned for a long time when he heard the news, "The poison on the son of the world is not fetal poison, it is given by the wife?" ”

Wei Guogong looked at him and said nothing.

Luo Wei came back to his senses after half a day, and said contemplatively: "This is really unexpected, the little one has never noticed!" ”

"Don't talk about you, why shouldn't I?" Wei Guogong's voice was low, "I am her husband, and I never thought that she would do such a poisonous thing to a child!" Why do you think he had to do it? She wasn't such a ruthless person in the first place. Maybe it's because you hate me......"

He glanced at Luo Wei and turned away.

Luo Wei hurriedly said: "I don't know what the situation is now, maybe the prince is really just guessing." The little ones will do their best to find out the truth. ”

Eighteen years have passed since the E's can hide it from them until now, and they must have already dealt with it, but no matter what, no matter how difficult it is to investigate, no matter how long it takes time, this matter must be investigated anyway.

"I'm afraid it's hard to have clues about this matter for a while, but whether the prince knows his background is more urgent, or go to Jinling to investigate first, and by the way, also check whether there is still an old ministry in Chen Wangfu."

Wei Guogong stood in front of him for a long time, and said with a sigh: "He just asked me about Su Jun, I'm afraid he has already suspected his own background, but now it seems that he thinks I have something to do with Su Jun-" He looked back at him with a complicated expression, clenched his fists and said: "It's not that I'm afraid that he knows his background, but that he is worried that he thinks his background has something to do with me and Su Jun." ”

"This ......" Luo Wei's expression suddenly cried and laughed, "Then this misunderstanding is big." ”

Wei Guogong was also a little helpless. "This kid has been smart since he was a child, you see he didn't ask me at all, but he still did so many things in private. Therefore, it is not impossible for him to find these suspicious points along the vine. You will go to Jinling tomorrow to see if anyone has already contacted him, and the point is to find out if anyone knows that I have been to Jinling back then. Go early and come back early. ”

"The little one obeys." Luo Wei's jaw head.

Han Ji returned to Yifeng Hall with a full stomach, and looked up at the snow under the door for a long time before entering the inner courtyard again.

After talking, his mood became even more depressed.

When asked about this Cheng dù, he couldn't ask any further, he was still some distance from success, and he must not show his feet until he succeeded, before King Chen was rehabilitated. Even if he is not the son of King Chen, Princess Chen is also his biological mother, and King Chen has been his faith for more than ten years, and he is worthy of him to continue to rehabilitate him.

And Wei Guogong's attention to the golden lotus just now, as well as his avoidance of Princess Chen, don't they all explain a thing?

Xin Yi saw him and hurriedly greeted him: "Young master, the people below heard that the King of Chu suddenly entered the palace, and I don't know what happened. ”

He retracted his thoughts, raised his hand to wipe his face, exhaled to calm his thoughts, and then turned his head to look at him: "Enter the palace?" It's almost time, what is he doing when he enters the palace? Is it an order to meet or to ask for a ride? (To be continued......)
