When Ah Xiyan saluted Prime Minister Dou and General A and got up, she also noticed that Prime Minister Dou didn't seem to take her to heart, just glanced at her casually, looked too lazy to pay attention to her, turned her head to look at the emperor, obviously also felt that a woman with the status of a palace maid, where was she worthy of the status of a prime minister above 10,000 people under him, and discussed national affairs together in this imperial study.

And General A was very calm, even a little too calm, and after glancing at her calmly, he nodded slightly as a return salute, and looked at the emperor with a calm face.

But only General A himself knows that his heart at the moment is like thousands of troops galloping by, and it is difficult to calm down for a long time.

Because seventeen years ago, it was he who agreed to Concubine Shu's suggestion and forcibly sent his newborn daughter A Xiyan to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, leaving her to fend for herself.

and deliberately took away the extraordinary guards in the house, so that the black-clothed man sent by Concubine Shuniang to pretend to assassinate her easily abducted Ah Xiyan.

Afterwards, he personally executed all the midwives who delivered the eldest lady at that time, as well as the group of maids who knew about it.

The purpose is to ensure that this matter will not leak out, so as not to ruin his reputation as a general.

There were two reasons why General A did this back then, one was that he was concerned about Ah Xiyan's natural poison body, and he was worried that her poisonous body would one day poison more than 100 people in the entire General's Mansion.

Second, he was also forced by the coercion and temptation of the concubine to abandon his biological daughter ruthlessly.

In fact, General A is not the kind of ruthless person, and the tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that he is still a person who pays more attention to family affection?

Since his daughter A Xiyan was sent away overnight, General A has also been unable to sleep at night, and has been entangled and self-blaming all day long.

After all, this was the first child between him and the woman he loved the most, and he was taken away by a masked man just after a quick meeting.

The man wearing the mask is a confidant sent by Concubine Shu, and it is said that he is skilled and ruthless, and he has done many hurtful and unreasonable things for Concubine Shuniang over the years.

And he has never missed, so when General A saw his daughter A Xiyan fall into his hands, he knew that he would never see his daughter in the future.

He also deeply blamed himself for this, regretted it, and felt sorry for the eldest lady Ye Qingli he was marrying, plus the appearance of the eldest lady when she woke up from a coma for three days and was crazy looking for her daughter, which also made him feel even more sorry for his wife.

He was even so ashamed that he didn't dare to face his wife's questioning eyes, which was also the reason why he gradually distanced himself and snubbed the eldest lady.

It's not that he really dislikes and hates the eldest lady, but as soon as he sees the eldest lady, he thinks of his daughter A Xiyan, and he regrets it to the extent that he wants to die.

Over the years, General A has dreamed of begging God to give him a chance to regret it, that is, as long as he can let his daughter come back safely, even if he is no longer a general, he must protect his daughter for the rest of his life to make up for the mistakes of the year.

It's just that so many years have passed, and his daughter has been sent to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons that no one has ever been able to come out of alive, so he thought that his daughter was long gone.

I thought that the death of my own daughter with my own hands had become a regret that could never be made up.

However, when he heard the palace maid brought by the emperor to call herself Ah Xiyan by the emperor and saw a somewhat old but familiar red thread rope faintly exposed around her neck, and the eyebrows and eyes of this palace maid were very similar to the eldest lady Ye Qingli, he suddenly understood that it must be his daughter A Xiyan who was back!

Because the jade pendant of the peace charm worn by his daughter A Xiyan on her neck since she was a child was ordered by him in the jade shop, and the red thread rope with a special texture was also personally selected by him, how could he not recognize it?

That's why his face changed when he heard Ah Xiyan's three words, but soon he regained his composure.

That's because reason told him that he must not recognize his daughter in front of the emperor and Prime Minister Dou Cheng, once his daughter questioned why he abandoned her in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, it would be difficult for him to justify himself in front of the shrewd emperor.

After all, back then, Concubine Shu's way of sending a killer to pretend to go to the General's Mansion to assassinate her, and taking the opportunity to kidnap A Xiyan was full of loopholes, and it couldn't withstand scrutiny at all.

In addition, General A knows that Prime Minister Dou Cheng has always been at odds with him, and has been deliberately looking for his own faults to deprive him of his position as a general, so that his own brother can become the new general.

If Prime Minister Dou learned that General A personally sent his daughter to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and brutally killed the midwife and other innocent maids, then it would definitely cause public outrage, and he could only resign.

And such an ending is not something he can accept, so General A understands that the imperial study at this moment is definitely not a place for him and his daughter to recognize each other.

Besides, he has another concern, that is, Concubine Shuniang, even if he wants to recognize each other, he has to ask for the opinion of Concubine Shuniang first.

Only if Concubine Shu's mother confirms that her recognition of Ah Xiyan will not expose the truth of the year, otherwise once she pretends to send someone to assassinate herself, and takes the opportunity to kidnap Ah Xiyan and send her to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, the scandal will be revealed to the world, then Concubine Shu's mother will commit the crime of bullying the king, and she will fall out of favor with the emperor from now on.

Even if you don't die, it will be the end of being in the cold palace.

And General A knows that he is also involved, and he can't escape the involvement, and he already belongs to the people in the same boat as Concubine Shuniang, with both glory and loss.

If this recognized matter is not handled properly, it will anger the lady concubine, and maybe it will hurt the daughter A Xiyan who just recognized.

Since his daughter finally came back safely, he had to come up with a foolproof plan to recognize each other again to ensure that his daughter was safe for the rest of her life.

Instead of recognizing each other on the spur of the moment, he once again put his own daughter to death.

Therefore, after a quick analysis of the stakes, General A resisted the urge to recognize each other, and instantly changed from surprise to a calm look, so as not to be seen by the emperor and Prime Minister Dou Cheng, who was eyeing him fiercely.

And didn't ignore Ah Xiyan just because she was just a palace maid, who made her his biological daughter?

This is also the reason why he, as a general, still nods politely to A Xiyan in return, instead of not taking A Xiyan in his eyes at all like Prime Minister Dou Cheng.

It's just that General A never expected that his daughter A Xiyan was born with ice and snow intelligence, just from the fact that he is also surnamed Ah and is a general, and recalled that after seeing the eldest lady and the eldest princess twice before, according to the big changes between the two of them, he has already guessed the fact that he is her biological father.

And although Ah Xiyan confirmed that General A was her biological father, she didn't plan to recognize her on the spot, after all, she had decided that she would not recognize her family until the poison body was completely resolved, which was also for the sake of her family.

Although the emperor did not expect the father-daughter relationship between General A and A Xiyan, he has always been observant, he still saw the indifference and even indifference of the two important ministers to A Xiyan, and also understood that before he officially introduced A Xiyan's identity, this discussion may be difficult to continue.

So, the emperor smiled and said, "Hehe, the two Aiqing must not understand why I asked Gonggong Hai to invite Miss A here to discuss state affairs, right?" Especially when she wears a palace maid's costume, it makes you feel even more incomprehensible. But if I tell you both that she is the chief imperial physician I have just proclaimed herself, will you still think that she is not suitable to participate in this secret discussion? The reason why you two don't know about this matter is just that Miss A has a personal unavoidable reason that I postponed the announcement to the world. ”

"What! Emperor! Can she, a milky yellow-haired girl who has not dried up, be the chief doctor? Lao Chen didn't hear it right, right? Your Majesty, you canonized her as a concubine on the spot, and the ministers have no complaints, but the position of chief imperial doctor is absolutely impossible! That's a matter of human life, how can a little woman like her who charms the king with her beauty be able to take on it? I don't believe that the emperor can convene hundreds of civil and military officials to inquire on the spot, if an official thinks that she can be qualified for the position of chief imperial doctor, the old minister is willing to give Xiang Shang's head to the child as a ball to kick! ”

Prime Minister Dou was shocked and pointed at A Xiyan and shouted, and swore again.

In his heart, although he felt that Ah Xiyan was young and beautiful, and she was also clever and generous when she looked at people, if the emperor said that she was a newly canonized concubine, he would have no opinion, but if she was said to be the chief imperial doctor, it would be really unacceptable.

After all, since ancient times, the world has felt that people who are proficient in medical skills are all old people who are over the age of sixties, and without decades of rich experience and experience, how can they become the leading famous doctors, let alone the position of chief physician who is above the entire Tai Hospital.

So for Prime Minister Dou, how could such a young woman have superb medical skills and be qualified to take on the position of chief imperial doctor.

must have charmed the emperor with unsavory means, so that the emperor lost his mind and personally appointed her as the chief imperial doctor.

And Prime Minister Dou Cheng has always believed that the truth is unbreakable, so he has always had great prejudices against beautiful but restless women.

Naturally, her tone was much heavier, and even in her excitement, she scolded Ah Xiyan for being just a yellow-haired girl who had not dried up.

But after this sentence was heard by General A, who was silent next to him, he felt very uncomfortable.

After all, Ah Xiyan is the daughter of his dignified general, how can she be criticized by others.

Because in his eyes, only he is qualified to teach his daughter, and others have no right to criticize his daughter.

What's more, General A already feels ashamed of his daughter too much, I'm afraid he won't be able to pay it off for the rest of his life, and he can't tolerate others bullying his daughter.

Even if Ah Xiyan really did something wrong, even if it was something that was ridiculed by the world, he would swear to defend her.

So he finally couldn't hold his breath and glared at Dou Cheng and retorted: "Who said she was a yellow-haired girl?" Who said she must be a woman who charms the king with her beauty? General Ben thinks that she is smart and talented, and has the momentum of a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. And since the emperor can personally appoint her as the chief imperial doctor, she naturally has her advantages. Why do you speak wildly and slander the chief physician who is personally appointed by the Holy One? Could it be that you think you are the prime minister, and you can despise the monarch? How dare you criticize the will of God? Let me tell you the truth, there is no need to summon a hundred civil and military officials so much, and General Ben is the first to approve of her as the chief imperial doctor. So your head is only for children to kick as a ball! Hum! ”

"You ......"

Prime Minister Dou was also angry and speechless for a while......
