Chapter 8: Father and Daughter

On the first day that Ming Fang Zhenren was ordered to step into the palace, the gossip did not stop. From the harem concubines to the palace maids and eunuchs, everyone is quietly spreading this matter. Anyone who has a heart knows that the emperor is afraid that he will use this original life-saving benefactor in the matter of establishing a prince, but all the princes who have a heart are all closed. The emperor, who had been prepared for a long time, personally took this real person with fairy wind and dao bones into his Qinzheng Palace, and issued a strict order to prohibit any prince and concubine from having contact with the real person of Ming Fang. For this, the Taoist who knew it well just smiled, the emperor was afraid that he would bring his personal emotions to this important matter, but why did he want to take care of this matter?

Rumors also spread into the Fenghua Palace, which has always been quiet and indifferent, and it immediately caused a commotion. Hongru's injuries have been carefully recuperated by Imperial Doctor Chen, and they have gotten much better, but as for Lu Yin, she still needs to lie in bed for another half a month, if she hadn't been saved in time, her life would probably be gone. Feng Wu, who was no longer in serious trouble, did not escape Imperial Doctor Chen's daily diagnosis, and was admonished not to move much, to be angry, to work hard, and to be bitter, he lamented that his life was not good. And during this time, the master was busy and had to take care of the minions, Imperial Doctor Chen ran around in the dark all day long, and lost weight in half a month, and he was as sad as he looked. In the end, Hongru, who was full of apologies, finally made a decision.

"Lord Chen, Hongru's injury has tired you." Hongru was a blessing, and said respectfully, "The slave and maid are from humble backgrounds, and a little injury should not have worked for you, but His Highness insisted on not allowing it. You've been so busy these days. ”

Although Imperial Physician Chen's face was tired, he still stroked a few strands of his long beard and said with a smile: "Alas, I have a relationship with you girl." If you were someone else, how dare you heal the two of you, it's too late to hide far away! Forget it, you don't have to be polite, I have treated Your Highness for so many years, and I have always treated you as my own daughter. Alas, if she were still alive, she would be your age! Speaking of this, Imperial Physician Chen's face showed a bit of sentimentality, his daughter was infected with smallpox shortly after birth, because his temperament was too weak, he lived countless people, but he could only watch his daughter die step by step, without the slightest power to return to heaven.

"The slave lost her father and mother at an early age, and she never had the opportunity to accept her parents under her knees." Hongru's face instantly turned red, knowing that Imperial Physician Chen lost her daughter in her early years, although she had already made up her mind, she was still afraid that people would reject her, thinking that she was Gao Pan, and she was still very worried in her heart. "If the adult does not dislike it, the slave is willing to take you as his father, I don't know what the adult wants?"

Imperial Physician Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed, he has always admired this girl's cleverness, but she is the prince's personal maid, he is always bad to go to Feng Wuxian and say that he wants to recognize a daughter, if he says it himself, how can he still be unwilling? "Don't talk nonsense, don't you change your name to Daddy?" Chen Lingcheng blurted out.

"Daddy!" Red as Yingying bowed, her eyes were full of excited tears, after so many years, in addition to the noble boy, she finally found a relative.

"You remember, Hongru, from now on you are my Chen Lingcheng's daughter. Haha, God really bless me, if you have a daughter like this in your old age, what more can you ask for? Chen Lingcheng looked up to the sky and smiled, his expression was a little sad in addition to joy, "Su Fen, how good it would be if you could see this day!" The last muttering was audible only to him.

"It seems that Hongru doesn't have to worry about me anymore!" A leisurely voice suddenly came from behind, Chen Lingcheng and Hongru hurriedly turned around, but saw Feng Wuxian standing in the corner of the wall, wearing a half-worn purple robe, covering his weak body with a bit of heroism, and there was no usual entanglement between his eyebrows, which seemed extremely happy.

"Your Highness, you won't say a word when you come." Hongru was so ashamed that the roots of his ears were red, and he was subconsciously worried about whether the master would suspect that he was in love with Ronghua before he recognized Imperial Doctor Chen as his father.

"Why say it beforehand? Then you'll miss out on a sincere show! Feng Wuxian quipped, and his face became solemn again, "In the past few years, if it weren't for Imperial Doctor Chen's careful care, I might have died in Huangquan a long time ago." I am very relieved that Hongru can be your daughter, because she has found someone to rely on. I think so, I'll go and talk to the Internal Affairs Office tomorrow, Hongru doesn't have to serve by my side, you can go back with Imperial Doctor Chen. ”

A few words were as red as frightened, she fell to her knees with a thud, and kowtowed again and again: "Your Highness, did the slave and maid do something wrong, you must drive the slave and maid out of the palace?" If so, punish you, and the slave will never leave here! ”

"What's so good in the palace, have you forgotten how your injuries came about?" Feng Wuxian was hidden in the shadows in the corner, and he couldn't see how his face was, "I can't protect you at all, why are you still following a useless master like me?" With Imperial Physician Chen's father, you can marry a good family even if you are not good, why do you have to work hard in the palace? ”

Hongru finally understood that the master was determined to send her out of the palace, although there was a trace of warmth in her heart, but more of it was a sharp pain. She looked at her newly recognized father with a pleading eye and motioned for him to intercede for her. She really couldn't bear to leave her master alone in this shivering cold Fenghua Palace, for this purpose, she did not hesitate to suffer more than one cane, and now, she could not give up this only young man who made her heart for a comfortable life in the future.

"Your Highness, the minister understands your kindness." Chen Lingcheng thought for a moment and then came up with an idea, "It's just that this is not appropriate." You must know that Hongru was injured because of Yu Niangniang's cane, and if she leaves the palace with her ministers at this moment, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others about your mother and son. The minister, the imperial doctor, only has five grades, if he is misunderstood by Yu Niangniang as deliberately against her, then there will be no redemption. Please also think twice, Your Highness. After saying that, he also knelt down.

Feng Wuxian didn't want Hongru to leave his side, this was just a slight temptation. After nearly a month of hard reading history books, he finally understood some of the emperor's mental skills, and today he took them out to test the people he trusted most, and it really worked. He had now fully confirmed the reliability of Chen Lingcheng and Hongru, and his mood had calmed down a little. He knew that as long as he stayed in this deep palace, he might have to live in doubt forever in the future, but he would definitely make the power and power he held in his hands match that noble status, and he would do whatever it took to do so.

Feng Wuxian pretended to nod helplessly, and agreed with the words of the two. "By the way, do you know what's going on with that Taoist who came to the palace recently?" For this, he was curious, and he almost eavesdropped on the chatter of the people in the palace, but after all, he didn't get any useful news.

The stakes are very high, Chen Lingcheng does not dare to make irresponsible remarks, the affairs of the emperor's family, there are many examples of vainly talking about the disaster of killing himself. But Hongru doesn't care so much, anyway, this is the closest person to her, not to mention that if you really talk about it, she still prefers the wind without a trace. "Your Highness, although the slave doesn't dare to make a conclusion, there is a seventy percent chance that this Ming Fang real person will help the emperor decide on the prince."

As soon as she said this, Feng Wuxian and Chen Lingcheng's hearts jumped, this bold girl really dared to say it. Feng Wuxian pretended to be casual and asked, "Hongru, I have rarely been out of Fenghua Palace over the years, anyway, these have nothing to do with me." But which of my brothers do you think is likely to rise to the crown prince's throne? ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Lingcheng couldn't help but look at this prince who had always been indifferent with suspicion, since his illness was inexplicably cured, the whole person has changed a lot, sometimes he has to think that another person occupies this body, even he himself feels ridiculous about this idea, but now, this thought has surfaced silently.

"If you want to say that the person who is most likely to become the crown prince, it is not a slave and a maid boasting, and there are definitely no three people, the third prince, the fifth prince and the eleventh prince." Hongru's eyes shone with wisdom, at this time she no longer looked like a servant girl with a humble status, as if she was a strategist standing beside the king and directing the country, and the wind and Chen Lingcheng next to her couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
