Bai Ling listened quietly.

"That place in the north, before Emperor Gao unified the Central Plains, was not the territory of the Chen family of the Great Zhou." Huang Chongde said in a low voice, "It's Zhao Guowei." ”

Huang Chongde calmly recounted the history of the founding of the Great Zhou.

Hearing Webster, Bai Ling reacted, "...... Is it the Queen Mother? ”

"Hmm." Huang Chongde nodded, "The Wei family has always been very prestigious in Jingzhou and Fuzhou in the north. Before Emperor Gao conquered Zhao, Wei of Jingzhou City surrendered the city in order to save the lives of his subjects...... Most of the Wei clan people who are still alive are the descendants of the Wei clan in Jingzhou back then.

"Emperor Gao gave them very favorable treatment, and they have also guarded the frontier for generations, and they have always been very low-key...... Until Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, the Queen Mother was first elected as a female official in the inner palace, and later received the grace of Emperor Mu and became the queen of the Great Zhou, and Wei's reputation flourished again.

"Your great-grandmother's family is Wei's in-law, Jingzhou Xie's ...... Before I entered the palace with the Emperor of the Apocalypse when I was a teenager, I had always worked in the Xie family......

"So I know your great-grandmother, she is the fourth lady of the Xie family, and she and the Queen Mother have grown up together since childhood......

"The fourth lady is not as smart as the Queen Mother, nor is she as careful as the Queen Mother, but she ...... Very good-hearted. Huang Chongde felt a little hot in his eyes, "She's really a good person...... If it weren't for her care, I would have starved to death on the streets long before I could. ”

Huang Chongde fell silent, and he couldn't continue for a while.

Seeing tears welling up silently in his eyes, Bai Ling took out her handkerchief and gently placed it next to Huang Chongde's pillow.

The old man pressed his eyes with a cotton handkerchief and took another deep breath.

“…… Did the Queen Mother recognize you as a servant of the Xie family back then? Bai Ling asked.

Huang Chongde shook his head, "My status at that time was too low, even if I asked the fourth lady to come, I might not be able to recognize me...... But after I left Jingzhou, I still think about some things from time to time......

"I really can't imagine that I will have another intersection with Ah Ling in that way in the future."

Huang Chongde looked at Bai Ling, "When the city was broken at both ends, there were officers and soldiers guarding me and escaping from the south gate. While I was running for my life, I saw a pregnant woman on the side of the road, her husband was holding her sideways, and the two of them were running very slowly......

"I was moved by compassion, so I ordered someone to pull the couple into the car......

Huang Chongde's voice became choked again.

"It's fate in the dark...... When they got into the car, I found that although their clothes were shabby, the texture was silk, so I asked about their identities and learned that the man was another family with a big surname in Jingzhou.

"I asked him again if he knew about the Xie clan in Jingzhou, and he told me that his grandmother was from the Xie clan......

"Is it 'Ah Ling'?" Bai Ling asked.

Huang Chongde nodded.

Even now, recalling the picture at that time, Huang Chongde's eyes are still red.

He breathed soothingly for a while, and then whispered, "I asked about the fourth miss...... He told me that he had never met the grandmother, but had only seen the name when he had seen his own branch on the family tree.

"Because, after the grandmother gave birth to his father, she ...... very quickly Passed away. ”

Bai Ling's eyes sank.

I always feel that Huang Gonggong seems to be ...... deliberately omitted many things related to Xie Ling.

But looking at the old man's tears, Bai Ling felt that there was no need to ask anything more.

Huang Chongde sniffed and continued, "That night, you were born. However, in the second half of the night, the cavalry of the Jin people chased after them...... They came to me, and I had the Emperor's order with me, and it was written the exact location and route of the reward materials...... That's what they want.

"By the time we got to know the situation in front of us, there was already a mixture of screams and cries...... The wound on your back is the one that was left that night. Huang Chongde looked at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling nodded.

"I don't know how I escaped," Huang Chongde muttered, "I carried you for a day and a night, your crying became weaker and weaker, I didn't dare to stop for a moment, I walked all the way south with my head stuffy, and when I passed a mountain stream, I met a doctor who was resting on the side of the road......"

"Yes...... My dad? ”

Huang Chongde smiled, "What do you think?" ”

Bai Ling suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly warmed up.

——The pictures of birth and death in front of her are certainly thrilling, but it was not until this moment, until Bai Shijun entered the picture, that she suddenly had a real sense of the whole story.

"I didn't dare to show my face, I was afraid that I would be covered in blood, but I was so scared that he turned around and ran ......away," Huang Chongde said softly, "so I put you on the side of the road, learn the baby's cry, and lure him over."

"As soon as Imperial Doctor Bai saw you, he picked you up."

Bai Ling's tears suddenly fell.

This is too much of a white man.

By his temperament, he would never leave a baby girl crying alone on the mountain road.

"You should have a silver nameplate," Huang Chongde said in a low voice, "it was specially typed for you by your parents, and your name was written on it, and I polished all the words on it and left it in your swaddling clothes......"

"Why grind?"

"After all, it's something your parents left you, and I think it's good to have a thought." Huang Chongde's voice weakened, "If the nameplate has a name on it, if someone wants to adopt you in the future, the nameplate probably won't be kept......"

Bai Ling laughed with tears in his eyes, "But no one will throw away the silver, even if you don't want me to know my background, you can remelt the silver and hit something else." ”

Huang Chongde raised his eyebrows slightly, "...... I was in a hurry at the time, and when I thought of it, it was a ......"

Bai Ling held up his side face - Bai Shijun really never told her about it.

She wasn't given any nameplates or anything like that.

There are no immortal locks or silver collars...... Did he throw that thing away?

"So four years ago, the night the Queen Mother fled......" Huang Chongde closed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face, "After the palace people changed your clothes, they told me that you had a long and oblique wound on your back, and Bai Shijun was a traveling doctor before he came to the capital......

"I was pounding in my heart......"

Huang Chongde's eyes were covered with another layer of fog.

"I thought, I'll have to ask you about your birthday in person, and see if it's the right day...... But as soon as I see you, as soon as I see your face, I know ...... Don't ask anything. ”

Bai Ling looked down and smiled, "So it's like that?" ”

"yes." Huang Chongde said softly, "It's too similar, it's too similar......"

He shook his head, then turned sideways and whimpered.

Bai Ling wanted to get up and pat the old man on the back - but then remembered that Huang Chongde's back was probably the same scar as himself at the moment.

"In a lifetime, there must be a beginning and an end," Huang Chongde wiped away his tears, and he let out a long sigh, "I have a beginning and an end to the emperor and the fourth lady." ”
