It's also surprising that so many things happened overnight.

Zhu Yunqing boarded the door of the Xia family again on the eve of preparing to return to Yong'an, this time asking to see Xia Xiang openly; Xia Xiang didn't dare to slack off after hearing her identity, but he also felt puzzled, he had no intimate contact with the Zhu family, and the Zhu female official who entered the palace had never met.

"I don't know if Lady Zhu is here, what do you have to say?" Xia Dan pondered for a moment and asked.

Zhu Yunqing looked at this man who was her father, and only when she heard Xia Dan's words did she feel rude, and she bowed and said, "The first time I saw Xia Xiang, I lost my manners, please forgive me." ”

Xia Duan couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in this girl's gourd, so he smiled hypocritically: "What did Lady Zhu say?" ”

Following Xia Dan into the house, Zhu Yunqing suppressed the resentment in his heart and pretended to say to Xia Dan indifferently: "I heard that Xia Dan's assassination is said to be related to His Royal Highness King Song. ”

"This, Taiwei Chu is still investigating this matter, what is the answer, I think Taiwei Chu will know better than me." Xia Dan stroked his beard and said.

"Xia Xiang's words are wrong, if this matter is discussed, no one in the world knows better than me." Zhu Yunqing's tone suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "After all, the person who assassinated Xia Xiang is the one standing in front of you." ”

She suddenly recognized herself as an assassin, but Xia Dian's heart was shocked, and she said sharply: "Lady Zhu, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Zhu Yunqing sneered: "I naturally know it very well. Please also forgive Xia Xiang, the fact that last night was a helpless move, which disturbed Xia Xiang. ”

When Xia heard her strange words, and looked at her figure again, it was indeed similar to that of the female assassin, so he believed it a little, but he wondered why she was still in the net today, since she had already fled; And she said that it was even more strange that she was helpless.

"My mother is seriously ill and wants to meet Xia Xiang, but I don't know if Xia Xiang can agree, so I have my mother's last wish." Zhu Yunqing only said.

"Your mother?" Even if Xia Dandang felt ridiculous, he had never met the women of the Zhu family.

"I am not the daughter of the Zhu family, but fostered in the Zhu family. I should follow my mother's surname Xia, my mother, Xia Ruofu. Zhu Yunqing said quietly.

When he heard the name Xia Ruofu, Xia Dian was only slightly stunned for a moment, and his face changed greatly: "What did you say?" You say······ Are you the daughter of Charlotte? He just shook his head in disbelief after thinking of something, "This can't be, she was already ······ twenty-three years ago." How could she possibly have a daughter as old as you? But he looked at Zhu Yunqing, and felt that she was indeed a little similar to Xia Ruofu.

Zhu Yunqing knew that Xia Dian would definitely not believe her identity, but she really didn't have anything to prove her identity, she just bet on whether Xia Dian still had even a trace of friendship with Xia Ruofu.

"How old are you?" Xia Dan suddenly asked.

"Twenty-three." Zhu Yunqing replied.

"And who is your father?" Xia Dan's voice trembled, and he must have guessed the answer.

So Zhu Yunqing said with a gloomy expression: "Xia Xiang should know." ”

Xia Xuan stared at Zhu Yunqing, as if he wanted to see something from her face, but in the end he just sighed: "Your mother, where is she now?" ”

Yong'an.

·

When Zhu Yunqing returned to Yong'an, Xia Ruofu was already very ill. Obviously, it was good for the mother and daughter to meet not long ago, but I didn't expect this farewell to be almost goodbye.

Seeing her daughter come back, Xia Ruofu's haggard face showed a little joy, holding her daughter's hand, she asked uneasily: "Wan Qing, have you seen your father?" ”

"Auntie, aren't you happy to see your daughter?" Hearing that her mother asked about her father as soon as she saw her, Zhu Yunqing's dissatisfaction with her father increased a little.

She knew that in the past 20 years, her mother would never take the initiative to mention her father, so their mother and daughter tacitly assumed that there was no such person. In the mouth of the Yong'an Secret Guard, Xia Dan is a traitor to the Yong'an Army; Zhu Yunqing thought that her mother should hate her father, so she would rather let Xia Dan think that she had died in the war twenty-three years ago.

But the story of the previous generation, Zhu Yunqing does not understand.

It wasn't until she was seriously ill and dying that Charlotte wanted to see Chardon again.

Master Xuan Si promised Xia Ruofu, if Xia Duan was willing to come to Yong'an to see her this time, Yong'an Secret Guard would not do anything to him during this period.

"Auntie, that person, is he really worthy of you?" Zhu Yunqing knelt in front of Xia Ruofu's sickbed and asked.

"He's your real father after all." Xia Ruofu raised her hand and gently rubbed Zhu Yunqing's head, her gaze softened a little, "Your father, even though he is not a good person, but in all fairness, he is not sorry for our mother. It's not that he doesn't want us two, it's that I decided to leave him. He was very good to me, and he promised me that when I left the palace, he would marry me in a sedan chair; He loves me and I love him. ”

Listening to her mother tell the story with her father, Zhu Yunqing was puzzled: "Then why did A-Niang leave him?" ”

Xia Ruofu's soft gaze turned sharp, or rather hateful: "Because he is a traitor!" ”

As a Yongan secret guard, Zhu Yunqing can understand her mother's madness and distortion, it turns out that her parents used to love each other, but her mother chose Yongan secret guard between her father and Yongan secret guard; If she were faced with such a choice one day, she thought she would not hesitate to make the same choice as her mother.

"I once asked him what he would do if he were given a choice between his master and me; But he wouldn't even answer me. We will never be able to convince each other, and that will only end up parting ways. Xia Ruofu didn't know what she thought, she smiled happily, but there was a hint of sadness in her smile, "Wan Qing, if you want to blame your father, blame me first." I've always been selfish, and when I decided to leave your dad, I deliberately became pregnant with you and deliberately didn't tell him. I have always loved him with all my heart, but I can't be with him, so I want a child of ours; When I see you, I think of the person I once loved, and then I am satisfied. ”

Zhu Yunqing was stunned, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Xia Ruofu continued to chatter and said, "Wan Qing, do you know why A-Niang sent you to the Zhu family? Not only to let you enter the palace as the daughter of the Zhu family, but also because you can't be surnamed Xia; Your father's surname is also Xia, but you can only be my child. For the Yong'an Secret Guard, Xia Dan is a traitor, you are not the daughter of a traitor, and your father has never been a good person. I have hidden so many secrets from him that I can only take them to the grave. ”

Zhu Yunqing burst into tears, just looked at her mother with a low whimper, and nodded as she listened to her mother's speech.
