Li Chengxuan was still not at ease enough: "I'll go and see it with you." After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head to look at Xiling Yue, "Xiling, you are waiting for me here." ”

Xilingyue nodded blankly, and found a nearby sheng hoof and sat down.

Li Chengxuan and Qin Se returned to the courtyard of the front hall together to do the last jiāo of the Birth Gang. The chief officer of the sixth bureau saw that the two of them had been gone for so long, and they were returning together at this moment, and they all showed a tacit smile.

The two of them just didn't see it, took Du Shanggong's gift list and began to interrogate and inspect, and saw that this batch of treasures was very well organized, and the number and categories were not bad at all, and they were very satisfied.

Li Chengxuan then ordered the 30 boxes to be sealed, and then he used ink to personally stamp a special seal on the seals to show their ownership. When the work was finished, the maidservants brought basins for everyone to clean their hands, and when everything was ready, half an hour had passed.

Qin Se said goodbye with a smile: "Today, the prince has to personally help, I really took advantage of it." ”

Li Chengxuan was too familiar with her, and he was not polite: "Let's go, don't you still want to go to Anguo Temple to ask for scriptures for the queen mother?" ”

Li Chengxuan's Yongfu Fang is in an excellent location, and it is only separated from Daming Palace by a Changle Fang. There is a temple called "Anguo Temple" in Changle Fang, because it is the former site of the royal residence of Ruizong in the domain, and Xuanzong has to expand greatly, so there are often royal relatives in and out. Li Chengxuan's mother, the Empress Dowager Wang, has always believed in the incense of Anguo Temple, and if she has any jewels and treasures next to her, she will send them to this temple to consecrate.

This time, Qin Se came to hand over the Birthday Gang, and also received the will of her old man, and wanted to turn around and go to Anguo Temple to ask the abbot Guangxuan Zen Master to personally write a post of "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", and then go to Jianfu Gate to return to the palace.

Qin Se remembered that there was still this important thing to do, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "If it wasn't for the prince mentioning it, I would have almost forgotten." ”

Li Chengxuan saw that it was not early, so he said, "I still have something to do in my house, so I won't send it to you." ”

"There is a divine army outside, and you don't have to work hard." Qin Se replied with a thoughtful smile, leaving with a group of people and thirty cages.

Li Chengxuan instructed the housekeeper to send him off, and he returned to the small courtyard where Xilingyue lived. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw her sitting on Fang Cai's hoof, her head bowed expressionlessly, and Xiao Yi was standing beside her explaining something, unable to hide her love and concern.

Ah Cui stood beside the two of them, and when she saw Li Chengxuan first, she immediately saluted and called, "Lord Wang." ”

Xiao Yi raised his head when he heard the voice, knowing that he had something to say to Xilingyue alone, so he led Acui to leave first.

From beginning to end, Xilingyue never got up to salute, not knowing what she was thinking.

After careful calculation, it has been half a month since she was injured and unconscious, and today is the first time the two have met, Li Chengxuan looked at her carefully, and couldn't help but call: "Xiling." ”

Xiling Yue raised her head, her eyes were red, and she said softly: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the prince has cleared it." ”

Li Chengxuan was silent and did not reply. She had completely calmed down at this time, and involuntarily stroked her shoulder: "Lord Wang, am I ...... I'm really ...... The daughter of the Guo family? ”

"It's not certain yet, but I'll have to wait for your stepfather to come."

Xilingyue showed a somewhat indescribable expression, like confusion and shock, and said silently for a long time: "Fang Cai, the eldest princess told me...... She lost her daughter. ”

Li Chengxuan felt a little tightened in his chest: "I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from you these days." ”

His sister, Li Chang, the eldest princess of Hanyang, lost her daughter and involved a royal secret, which has been a topic of secrecy in the palace for more than ten years.

The matter goes back more than 20 years. At that time, their grandfather Dezong was still in power, and his imperial sister was not the eldest princess of Hanyang, but the lord of Deyang, and was promised to Guo Jun, the son of the Duke of Daiguo. The Li Tang royal family and the Guo family have many in-laws, and the princesses and county lords have always lived alone in the mansion after marriage, and they are not allowed to return to the palace at will without a grace except for the New Year's Festival. However, because the lord of Deyang was favored by his grandfather Dezong, he was allowed to return to the palace at any time after marriage.

Later, Guo Zhongting, the master of Deyang County, was injured when he was born, and he recuperated at home for more than a year, until he found out that he was pregnant with a second child, and then he hurriedly entered the palace to report the good news, and was stayed in the East Palace by his mother Wang Liangdi. At dusk that day, she and her nurse took their young son for a walk by the Taiye Pool, but because they hadn't entered the palace for too long, they got lost, and they bumped into a forbidden army guard and the palace concubine Tong Jian.

At that time, she only saw the appearance of the woman, and was about to leave quietly, but unexpectedly, the beloved son in her arms suddenly cried, disturbing the two wild mandarin ducks. The matter of the forbidden army and the palace concubine was exposed, and the palace concubine was the beauty of her grandfather Dezong Xinna. Dezong was furious when he heard this, and tortured the beauty to extract a confession, but he never asked about the whereabouts of the adulterer, and the beauty also died tragically under torture.

This incident caused an uproar in the palace, and the lord of Deyang was pregnant again, so in order to avoid further turmoil, he raised the baby at home with peace of mind, and gave birth to a baby girl after full-term. The baby girl was born with a crescent-shaped birthmark on her shoulder, so she was named "Yue'er".

When the female relatives of various families got the news, they came to the door to say goodbye, and there were dozens of people before and after. But on the 20th of July, after two important ministers' daughters came to visit, the newly-born baby girl of the county lord of Deyang disappeared mysteriously.

The Guo family checked the servants and maidservants in the house, but they did not find the whereabouts of the child, and the matter spread into the palace, and Dezong strictly investigated and dealt with the last two female relatives who visited, only to find out that one of them was the sister of the beauty who committed the great crime of Tong Jian a few months ago! She held a grudge against the lord of Deyang for denouncing her sister Tongjian, so she took revenge, but no matter how severe the torture was, she refused to tell the whereabouts of the child, and finally died in prison.

Since then, the county lord of Deyang and Guo Junma have used all their forces to search everywhere, but they have not found their beloved daughter, and the two have gradually lost any hope. After this incident, the county lord of Deyang was disheartened, and Guo Junma had nothing to do, and the two only devoted themselves to raising their beloved son Guo Zhongting until now.

This is the cause and effect of the eldest princess losing her daughter, and when she checked the birthmark in the inner room, she had already informed Xiling Yue in full.

For so many years, Xilingyue has been eager to find the whereabouts of her biological parents, and she has always thought that she was abandoned by her parents, and she never thought that there was another kind of inside story, let alone that her biological parents would be so prominent. She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the position of the birthmark on her left shoulder, and her emotions were complicated for a while.

Li Chengxuan saw that she was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiling, are you ...... Do you want to recognize my imperial sister? ”

Xiling Yue felt very confused: "I...... I do not know. ”

"How are you injured?"

"It's no big deal," Xi Lingyue tried to raise her left arm, but she could still feel the wound involved, and it hurt a little, so she added truthfully, "It still hurts." ”

Li Chengxuan then comforted her and said, "You relax and recuperate first, and wait until your stepfather arrives in Chang'an." ”
