It was night, and the huge palace was silent, only a few palace lamps scattered on the road were illuminated.

Without the bustling palace in the daytime, it seems to be like a cold cage, and people outside can't enter, and people inside can't enter.

In this palace, I don't know how many people's youth, love and hatred have been devoured.

The eldest princess hurried over with a red fur with a white fox collar.

When you arrive at the palace, you are not allowed to sit in a sedan chair, so that you can sit on the soft sedan chair on the way to the imperial study.

At the door of the imperial study, there was already a father-in-law who had an order waiting at the door, and when he saw the eldest princess coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile: "Eldest princess, the emperor has been waiting for a long time, you can go in quickly." ”

"Why did the imperial brother summon me overnight today? But what's the urgency? The eldest princess asked puzzled.

For so many years, her royal brother has rarely been so abnormal, and the eldest princess feels faintly uneasy in her heart.

Thinking of what Yin Zhige said to himself before leaving yesterday, he always felt that his eyelids jumped suddenly, and he was also a little impatient.

Seeing this, the father-in-law looked embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Ouch, the eldest princess is embarrassed by the slave, and the slave doesn't know these things." ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she knew that she was in a hurry, and there must be something big when she summoned her overnight, and these things were not something they could only know when they were slaves.

With a wave of his hand, he pushed the door open and entered.

The imperial study at night was silent, and if it weren't for the two palace lamps lit in front of her, the eldest princess would have wondered if she had come to the wrong place.

At this moment, the emperor was leaning on the dragon chair, holding his forehead with one hand and closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard footsteps, he looked up and looked ahead: "You are here." ”

"Brother Huang, but you have a headache again?" The eldest princess is also careful, and when she saw the emperor holding her forehead, she asked.

The eldest princess has had a good relationship with the emperor since she was a child, and she has also understood some of the emperor's habits over the years.

Whenever there is something big, I always have this look.

The last time I saw the emperor like this, it was when I came to attack at the border.

This also made the eldest princess even more uneasy, but she still maintained a calm appearance on the surface.

When the emperor heard this, he didn't directly answer the eldest princess's words, but just said lightly: "Yan'er is okay recently?" ”

"Everything is fine," the eldest princess was a little puzzled as to why the emperor asked like this, "The imperial brother has always been a straightforward person, and he summoned me to the palace so late today, it must not be to ask about Yan'er's condition, if there is anything, the imperial brother will say it directly." ”

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, but there was a dilemma on his face.

He looked at his sister standing below, for so many years, his royal sister didn't know how much effort it took to inquire about the daughter who was once lost outside.

Now it is not easy for the mother and daughter to recognize each other, but it may turn out to be a big lie.

Even when I first thought of this possibility, I was shocked, if my royal sister knew, I didn't know if I could bear it.

"Brother Huang?" The eldest princess saw that the emperor was silent for a while, and her face changed unpredictably, so she couldn't help but remind her out loud.

The emperor was also reminded by the eldest princess, so he pushed the wooden box on the table: "You can open it first and take a look at this box." ”

With a suspicious expression, the eldest princess stepped forward and opened the wooden box in a few steps, only to see that the contents were the swaddling clothes and notes she had wrapped when she gave off her daughter many years ago.

"This ...... Isn't that what I used to send Yeon away when I was a child? How could this thing be here with the Imperial Brother? How did the royal brother find it? ”

When the eldest princess found Ning Shuyan before, Ning Shuyan only had a jade pendant on her body, but the swaddling clothes and note could not be found.

At that time, Ning Shuyan said that the swaddling clothes and the note did not leave the family that raised her.

She recognizes the woman, and naturally she does not doubt him.

But now I look at this thing in front of me, and it is still in a wooden box, and it is obviously very well preserved.

The eldest princess was shocked, but also had a strong doubt in her heart, and at the same time, the uneasiness was also amplified in her body.

Sure enough, the emperor's next sentence hit the eldest princess like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"This thing belongs to Zhong Xiaoshu."

When the eldest princess heard this, her hand fumbling with her swaddling clothes also paused, and her phoenix eyes looked at the emperor in disbelief.

I couldn't even say a word in the middle of the ring.

The emperor looked at the eldest princess like this, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and sighed and said, "When I first learned the news today, I was also shocked. ”

"Impossible!" The eldest princess came back to her senses and subconsciously screamed.

"This wooden box was sent by Qi'er today, saying that Yin Zhige sent it to his house overnight last night, so that he must hand it over to me."

The emperor's words broke the last illusion in the eldest princess's heart.

The eldest princess only felt a sigh in her heart at this moment.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything.

"I summoned you overnight today to discuss this matter with you." The emperor spoke.

"No...... Impossible, this thing is obviously Yan'er's, how can it be Zhong Xiaoshu's? The eldest princess muttered distractedly as she looked at the contents of the wooden box.

But if this thing wasn't Zhong Xiaoshu's, how could it be with Yin Zhige?

Thinking of the words before Yin Zhige left yesterday, the eldest princess only felt that the world was spinning at this moment, if it wasn't for the emperor hurriedly helping her, I am afraid she would have fallen to the ground.

The jade pendant is a token to prove the identity of his daughter, but this swaddling cloth is also a token to prove his identity like a note.

The swaddling clothes and the note are all too familiar, and both things look like they've been around for some years.

Even if the note could be forged, the swaddling clothes were unique.

But the jade pendant on Ning Shuyan's body, she also carefully inspected it that day, and there is no doubt that it is genuine.

The eldest princess had never felt so powerless for a moment.

Obviously, her daughter is close at hand, but she doesn't know which one is her daughter.

In a trance, the eldest princess suddenly remembered that day at the same table, I don't know who said a word to herself, that Zhong Xiaoshu looked a little bit like herself.

At that time, I just thought it was a joke, and I was even more disdainful in my heart.

Looking back now, it was a detail about my daughter that I might have overlooked.

The eldest princess didn't know how she got out of the imperial study, and she couldn't sleep all night when she returned to the mansion.

It wasn't until the window was dark that she finally made up her mind, and her daughter, who had been looking for so many years, was close at hand, and she would not let go of any clues.
