Although Yuzhou is a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a collusion between officials and businessmen, and the form is complicated.

Every year, the imperial court would send three or five special envoys to Yuzhou to investigate.

However, either the envoy colluded with the officials and businessmen of Yuzhou, or the envoy disappeared innocently and accidentally happened.

Zhao Jide originally thought that according to the previous queen's attention to him, this time he left Beijing, the queen would summon him once.

Pity......

Until departure, the news of the queen's summons did not come.

From Kyoto to Yuzhou, An Guogong gave Zhao Jide three chances.

As long as he is willing to stand with An Guogong and help An Guogong slander the queen, then An Guogong can immediately send him back to Beijing.

However, Zhao Jide refused.

An Guogong only cut off Zhao Jide's way back to Beijing, but he did not completely cut off his way of life.

After arriving in Yuzhou, the smoke and miasma of the officialdom shopping mall in Yuzhou made Zhao Jide quickly forget what An Guogong had asked him to do before.

He was busy consolidating his position in Yuzhou, busy taking care of Yuzhou's government affairs and economy, and busy marrying a wife and having children.

On the day his wife was found to be pregnant, news came from Kyoto that His Majesty and Empress Qi had died.

The little princess born by the queen was lost together because of the queen's difficult birth.

When the news reached Yuzhou, Zhao Jide was like a lightning strike.

The emperor and queen are in their prime, why did they all die violently......

Could it be?

The old things that have been suppressed in my heart for a long time come to my heart again.

A few months ago, he was deposed to Yuzhou for offending An Guogong.

At that time, what An Guogong wanted him to do was to slander the queen.

Could it be that the queen's death is related to An Guogong?

An Guogong, Ning Guogong......

I heard that the prince of Ningguo Mansion has a very good relationship with the newly enthroned thirteen princes.

Thinking of these things that had been suppressed by him for a long time, Zhao Jide had a vague guess in his heart that made him tremble.

He didn't dare to tell anyone about this speculation, but he couldn't sleep all night in horror.

If it was really An Guogong and his party who killed the queen, then he was also responsible for the death of Her Majesty the queen.

If he found any opportunity to tell the queen about the threat that An Guogong threatened him at that time, would the queen not die.

Zhao Jide was disturbed by his own speculation.

Until one day, two strangers came to Yuzhou.

claims to be a pair of master and servant, the master's name is Song Dingzhong, and the servant's name is Han Bai.

The family is rich and comes to Yuzhou to do business.

There are foreign merchants who have settled in Yuzhou, and they are generous to make big deals, which naturally alarmed the business community in Yuzhou.

As the prefect of Yuzhou, Song Dezhong must want to meet this Song Dingzhong.

Song Dingzhong is also a person who understands the rules, and on the second day of arriving in Yuzhou, he rented a whole floor of private rooms in the largest restaurant in Yuzhou, Fengying Building.

All the merchants with heads and faces in Yuzhou were all invited by him.

As the prefect, he is naturally within the scope of the invitation.

The moment he saw Song Dingzhong, his thighs almost went weak, and tears flowed out.

Where is Song Dingzhong, this is obviously the little chamberlain who followed the queen when he tried to administer justice for him at that time.

The queen mother and Her Majesty died on the front foot, but this little chamberlain who served in front of the queen mother appeared in Yuzhou and wanted to settle in Yuzhou.

This......

Staring at Song Dingzhong, Zhao Jide's heart was like thunder.

During the banquet, the staggered plans, Song Dingzhong worked hard to get closer to everyone.

He gave Song Dingzhong this face.

As the prefect, since he gave this face, those merchants also gave Song Dingzhong this face.

During the banquet, others asked about Song Dingzhong's family situation, and Song Dingzhong looked like he knew everything.

Married last year, and his wife was a childhood sweetheart, but he didn't know that his wife had a difficult birth on the day he gave birth, leaving a premature son and dying.

Everyone listened to the sighs, and when he listened, his heart was shocked.

He is a eunuch, where did he get married, where did he come from, where did he come from, where did he come from, where did he come from!

How could he have a son.

The queen gave birth to a princess, but that was a princess, not a prince.

During the banquet, no matter how suspicious Zhao Jide was in his heart, he didn't dare to show anything.

When the table was dispersed, he found an excuse to leave Song Dingzhong to speak alone.

But no matter how he knocked on the side, Song Dingzhong was determined that he had never been to Kyoto.

He mentioned His Majesty and the Empress, Song Dingzhong looked at him with clear eyes, and told him that the common people only care about business.

But he obviously wouldn't recognize the wrong person.

He didn't know what was going on in Kyoto, and he didn't know why Song Dingzhong suddenly appeared in Yuzhou with a baby boy.

But he didn't dare to act rashly.

He was afraid.

He was afraid that the child Song Dingzhong was carrying would be the flesh and blood of the queen's mother......

If it is true, then the death of the queen mother and Her Majesty must be a tragic and bloody death.

And this child who was brought here by Song Dingzhong, as a survivor, how could he let the world know about his existence.

Zhao Jide didn't dare to ask more, lest he alarm Song Dingzhong and let him leave Yuzhou suddenly.

In Yuzhou, he can still protect them with his own power, but if he goes to the side......

Under Zhao Jide's covert care, Song Dingzhong's business in Yuzhou was in full swing.

Song Dingzhong is dignified, talented, and has a rich family background.

Since he is single, there is an endless stream of people who come to the door to say goodbye.

Zhao Jide refused on the grounds that he missed his deceased wife.

And to everyone's surprise, the son in Zhao Jide's mouth has never appeared in front of everyone.

The more the child does not appear, the more sure Zhao Jide is that the child is the blood of the queen.

No matter what happened in Kyoto, he would definitely protect this child on his own.

Time flies, three years in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Jide is still the prefect of Yuzhou, and the court seems to have forgotten him.

The annual assessment is done according to the rules, but the annual transfer has nothing to do with him.

In the past, maybe he was still looking forward to being promoted, but now that Song Dingzhong is coming with his child, he just wants to guard Song Dingzhong.

On this day, Zhao Jide finished a day's government affairs and took his son to wander around the streets of Yuzhou.

"Dad, that young lady is so beautiful!"

Son Zhao Ke suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a small doll carved in pink in front of him.

Running towards the house with short legs.

Zhao Jide hurriedly pulled back his stinky son, and jokingly patted his ass and reprimanded, "When you see a beautiful young lady, pounce up, do you still have a little shame!" ”

As he spoke, an exclamation sounded next to him.

"Hey, this is the son of Master Song's family!"

"It's so beautiful, if I don't say that this is a son, whose little girl would I be, look at this little appearance."

"No wonder Master Song refuses to continue the strings, this little baby is so handsome, and his dead mother doesn't know what a beauty she is."

Holding his son, Zhao Jide's back stiffened, and he looked at the little doll in front of him out of the corner of his eyes.

Song Jin was standing on the ground in a green robe, holding a sugar gourd in his hand, and was squinting his eyes and eating deliciously.

Next to him, Zhao Jide was buying some things for boys to play with.

The moment he saw Song Jin's smiling face, Zhao Jide was like a soul-pumping.

This child's facial features are clearly the same as those of the queen's mother.

The doubts that had existed in his heart for three years were verified in an instant.

There is no need for any side knocks, no evidence witnesses, this face is the best evidence.

This child is the child of the queen's mother.

As for men and women......

Song Dingzhong said that this is a male baby, then this is a male baby.

Holding Zhao Ke, Zhao Jide stepped forward, "Ke'er is playing with little brother." ”

Hearing Zhao Jide's voice, Song Dingzhong, who had finished paying, turned around, "It's an adult." ”

Zhao Jide touched Song Jin's head with a smile, "The first time I saw your child, the young man looked really energetic." ”

Song Dingzhong's originally nervous expression relaxed after Zhao Jide's words fell.

"He was born prematurely, when his mother gave birth to him, it was a difficult birth, and his body was not good since he was a child.

Zhao Jide looked at Song Jin with a smile, there were tears in his eyes, and he couldn't help but spin around and forcibly held back.

"At that time, his mother gave birth to him, and she must have suffered a great sin."

Song Dingzhong was stunned.

Zhao Jide hurriedly said: "Women give birth, they all go through the ghost gate, not to mention that your family is still fighting for their lives." ”

Zhao Jide's heart hurt dullly.

At that time, the mother gave birth to a little princess, so she was fighting for her life!

The Thousand Machine Gu Worms were triggered, and what Niangniang suffered was the pain of being eaten by thousands of insects.

Zhao Jide's face suddenly became sad.

Fortunately, he has been mourning his deceased wife, but no one has said anything.

It was Zhao Jide who looked at it and felt uncomfortable.

Touching Song Jin's head, Zhao Jide swore that he and Song Dingzhong would protect this child and grow up well.
