Chapter 216 The Emperor is my uncle
Along the way, Ling Feng was guessing who this noble man was, but he didn't have an eyebrow when he thought about it, so he simply didn't want to, but looked around, this was a very ordinary carriage, not even as high-end as Ling Feng usually sits, the dry and hard benches and rough carriages, there was a smell of wood everywhere, and the carriage was even more narrow, and there were barely two benches in front of it, and it was already very crowded for four people.
"It's here. The carriage stopped, someone knocked on the carriage door, Li Dang smiled and motioned to Ling Feng to ask first, and then the carriage door opened from behind, Ling Feng jumped out, and quickly stretched his muscles while it was spacious, "I'm sorry, I let you follow me to be wronged." Li Dang then jumped down, and when he saw Ling Feng's appearance, he immediately understood that he was only afraid of suffocation in such a carriage.
His Royal Highness laughed, how could there be any grievances. Ling Feng quickly waved his hand, and then looked around, this was a very secluded place, the tall trees around completely obscured the view, because it was already dark, Ling Feng couldn't even tell which layer it was.
"Please. Li Dang stretched out his hand very politely, Ling Feng returned the salute, and the two of them walked towards the small courtyard a few steps away, and there were two casually dressed housekeepers standing at the gate of the courtyard, although they were carrying brooms or something, but the look on their faces was professional vigilance, and at a glance they knew that they were responsible for guarding all year round.
The mud walls made of loess are very low, there are some porcelain fragments stuck upside down on the walls, the tattered and old wooden door creaks when pushed, and the barking of dogs that suddenly rises with the sound of the door makes this small courtyard in front of him overlap with the countless small courtyards of the Raya Empire, is there such a place in the imperial capital? Ling Feng was full of doubts.
"Halla. Li Dang pointed ahead, walked ahead, Ling Feng looked at the shabby courtyard, there are three houses on the left, middle and right, the hall is naturally the middle room, the door of the hall is wide open, the dim candlelight shines through the door, Ling Feng vaguely saw a table, "Please come in." Li Dang let Ling Feng into the room, the furnishings in the room were very simple, a square table, four benches, plus a main table against the wall, and nothing else.
"Squeak", Ling Feng looked back, the door of the hall was actually closed, and Li Dang did not follow up, "Your Highness?" Ling Feng leaned in front of the door and asked, no one answered outside the door, but someone inside the room said: "I asked him to invite you." ”
"I?" Ling Feng shook suddenly, there was an inner door in the corner of the hall, leading to the cubicle bedroom, the dilapidated door curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a sackcloth walked out.
"I've seen His Majesty the Emperor. Ling Feng hurriedly saluted, his heart was shocked, Li dared to lead himself to this place to see the nobleman, it turned out to be the emperor of the dynasty, Li Zongguang. At this time, Li Zongguang's dress was also very strange, the clothes he was wearing did not match his identity at all, and the strange thing was that the clothes fit so well on him.
"Sit down, don't be inhibited. Li Zongguang waved his hand, but Ling Feng didn't put his ass down, saying that he didn't need to be restrained, and it was strange to meet an emperor dressed like this alone in such a room.
"It's been 16 years. Li Zongguang didn't force it, but sat down by himself, and after looking at Ling Feng a few times, he let out a long sigh, Ling Feng couldn't answer at all, he felt the vicissitudes of the emperor's body, and the sigh of the past sixteen years was also mixed with a lot of emotions, but Ling Feng didn't understand, why did he sigh in front of him, and these sixteen years were so close to his age.
"Is your mother okay?" The next question made Ling Feng even more confused, in his memory, Hua Yudie had never left Duolong County, how could His Majesty the Emperor act like he was very familiar with his mother.
"It should be okay, there is Batian to take care of her. The emperor sighed again, and then Ling Feng was a little crazy, he couldn't answer a word, and Li Zongguang's words contained a lot of things, but he didn't know it, so it seemed a little weird.
first sighed for sixteen years, and then said hello to his mother, Ling Feng is not without imagination, Ling Lei's words instantly floated out of his mind, Ling Feng's heart was suddenly shocked, and he looked at Li Zongguang in disbelief, is it possible, is it possible that what Ling Lei said is true?
His Majesty the Emperor has never dared to look directly, and Ling Feng is the same, although he has seen Li Zongguang before, but he has not looked carefully, now that he has taken a closer look, his fingers trembled slightly, these eyebrows, these corners of his lips, no matter how you look at it, they are somewhat similar to himself.
"What, when you see your uncle, you just have this expression?" Manager Li suddenly grinned and looked at Ling Feng, whose expression had changed drastically, all the speculations were completely overturned in Li Zongguang's words, and somehow, Ling Feng, who should have been shocked, breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not an illegitimate child, Ling Feng silently said in his heart, "Uncle?" Then he looked at Li Zongguang suspiciously, "It seems that your mother didn't tell you anything." "Relatives should be happy to see each other, but Li Zongguang's smile always stays for a short time, looking at Ling Feng, he is like seeing how many years of sadness, and the mood of kung fu in the blink of an eye is low again.
"Your mother was not called Hua Yudie, this is her name that she later changed herself, her name is Li Xian'er, and she is my only sister. "His Majesty the Emperor has changed his address to me from me, and the conversation is also a conversation between ordinary family relatives, and suddenly the distance between the two has narrowed a lot.
"Mother is the eldest princess?" Ling Feng looked at Li Zongguang in shock, he had only heard the name Li Xian'er from Gu Yu's mouth, and then Ling Feng flipped through some classics, but only found some words, the only record was that the eldest princess Li Xian'er died of illness, as for her life, there was no pen and ink to write, and then Ling Feng didn't pay attention to it anymore.
And now from the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor, Ling Feng did not have the slightest suspicion except shock, the emperor of the dignified Raya Empire could not just find someone to confess, he must have sufficient evidence.
"When I fled with your mother, I lived here, she was as old as you that year, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. His Majesty the Emperor looked around with emotion, full of emotion, "Fleeing?" Ling Feng had a question mark in his eyes, the emperor of the Raya Empire had escaped, this was a secret that he had never heard of.
"Xian'er doesn't want to tell you her true identity, she probably still hates my brother, but it's good that you come, come, come and sit. Throwing away the aura of the emperor, Li Zongguang is actually a very amiable middle-aged man, especially when he is dressed as a civilian, he has no arrogance at all, although Ling Feng is questioning from head to toe, he still sits down obediently.
"The eyebrows, eyes, and lips are like your mother, and this nose is like him. Li Zongguang laughed happily, Ling Feng smiled a little nervously, this suddenly appeared a relative who was a little nervous for anyone, not to mention that this relative was still the emperor of the Raya Empire.
"Dare, come in. Ling Feng was thinking about how to continue this confession scene, but Li Zongguang shouted at the door, Li dared to push the door in, with an excited smile on his face, "Cousin is good." Li Kang's handsome face was full of a kind smile, with a slight hint of teasing, it seemed that he had already known his identity before he came.
Ling Feng was stunned for a long time before he said the words "Cousin is good", "I'm still too nervous, come on, eat." Li Zongguang clapped his hands, and a bent cook came in ghostly outside the house, and four dishes plus a pot of clear soup were quickly put on the table, Ling Feng glanced at it, slightly surprised.
"Isn't it strange?" Li Dare asked in a low voice, Ling Feng nodded without hesitation, because he had accompanied Hua Yudie to eat these dishes for more than ten years, and it couldn't be clearer, and Ling Batian said that since giving birth to Ling Feng, Hua Yudie's taste has completely changed, Li Zongguang just remembers, and should remember before.
"Actually, my father has always been very concerned about my aunt, but some old things, my aunt's heart can't be unhappy, she has always been reluctant to come to see her father, let alone return to King's Landing, so you have stayed in Duolong County for so many years, but my father has not forgotten you over the years, and he knows very well what you like to eat. Li Dang explained in a low voice, Ling Feng glanced up at Li Zongguang and found that his eyes were full of kindness, and he couldn't help but move slightly.
Regardless of whether Li Zongguang's identity as an uncle is true or not, his concern for himself is true, Ling Feng lowered his head and took a bite of food, his nervous mood gradually let go, after a simple meal, Li Zongguang chatted with Ling Feng for a long time, nothing more than how he has lived in the past sixteen years, and among them, he is still most concerned about Hua Yudie, which can be seen that he really cares about his sister.
When Ling Feng came out of the courtyard, he hadn't digested the change in his identity at all, just like that, he became a relative of the emperor, but he refused Li Zongguang's intention to explain his identity, compared to the identity of the emperor's nephew, he felt that Ling Feng's identity was quite comfortable now.
When he came back, it was still Li Kang's uncomfortable carriage, because of his cousin, Li Dang was very enthusiastic about Ling Feng, the two chatted about some topics in the academy, and then got a lot closer to each other, and then invited Ling Feng to be a guest of himself after they met, and by the way, he met his mother, and Li Dang said goodbye.
"Sent back?" Li Zongguang still stayed in that small courtyard, Li dared to push the door in, heard his father's inquiry, nodded, "Did he have anything to say?" Li Zongguang followed and asked, "No, it's very calm, but if you want to fully accept it, it is estimated that it will take some days." Li Dang returned truthfully, "Dare Er, do you remember your aunt?" asked Li Zongguang.
Naturally, my son remembers. Li Dang nodded vigorously, when Hua Yudie left the imperial capital, Li Dang was already four or five years old, so he had the impression, "This cousin of yours should have enjoyed everything in King's Landing City, but because of me, I have suffered for sixteen years, and you will have to take care of him more in the future." Li Zongguang said in a deep voice, "Yes." Li Dang nodded, and after he finished speaking, he remembered something, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked tentatively, "Do you want to tell the imperial brother and Yao'er." ”
"Your eldest brother should never tell him, as for Yao'er, let's talk about it later. Li Zongguang waved his hand, Li Dang nodded, and then retreated, after going out, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, the stupid big brother was only afraid that he was still thinking about calculating Ling Feng, and he wanted to know that the person he calculated was his father's nephew who had been separated for sixteen years, how wonderful his expression should be, the more Li Dang thought about it, the happier he became, and simply walked out with a smile.
"Xian'er, if you don't say goodbye for sixteen years, if your eldest brother owes you, you will pay it back to your son. Li Zongguang silently looked at the closed wooden door, it seemed that there was an elf-like sister in front of him, if he hadn't done it himself, maybe he wouldn't have separated his flesh and blood in the past sixteen years, but what could he do, the emperor was actually the most helpless person in the world, and he couldn't even protect the sister he wanted to protect the most.
