After Emperor Deqing left, Concubine Yuan also quickly got up to say goodbye.

The queen looked at the figure of Concubine Yuan leaving, and said to Qin Ranran: "It's a beauty, but it's a pity that she doesn't like to laugh." ”

Qin Ranran replied, "I think this is a smart person. ”

The queen looked at Qin Ranran with a smile: "You are also a smart person." ”

"Do you want to sleep again, I'll stay here, and sleep for half an hour, just get up and move your hands and feet, and then you can have lunch." Qin Ranran poured a glass of warm water for the queen and served her to drink.

But the queen took her hand and sat down: "I've slept for a while today, I'm not sleepy, I want to talk to you." ”

Qin Ranran sat down on the embroidery pier in front of the kang, took a hydrangea, and led the two cat cubs on the kang to run around.

"When Your Majesty was young, I once met a woman outside, and I don't know what kind of woman it was. At that time, His Majesty was still the prince, and he was ordered by the emperor to go to the northwest to suppress bandits, and after the bandits, His Majesty set off to return to the palace, and he wanted to take the woman, but the woman did not agree to return to Shangjing with him. The queen's voice was gentle, and she couldn't hear any other emotions.

Qin Ranran only felt sour in her heart, that was how many disappointments she had to go through to treat her husband's other women so calmly.

The queen saw Qin Ranran's gaze and said with a smile: "You don't have to feel sad, since I have chosen this path and chosen Your Majesty, I have already done a good job of taking care of the harem for him, and I will see that he accepts beauties every three years and only stays here for a few days every month." Fortunately, Your Majesty is not a person who forgets the past, and if you go to the harem for ten days a month, you must have six days with me, but my body is not angry. ”

In the tone, there was sadness and pain that the queen herself couldn't hear.

Qin Ranran held the queen's hand: "Niangniang, in the future, I will often ask Fujia to come to the palace to accompany you." ”

The queen's eyes were red: "If you were my daughter-in-law, how good it would be." ”

"Let's go on." The queen gently pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, "Later, the woman was left alone in the bitter cold land in the northwest. ”

"More than a year later, not long after I married His Majesty, the bandits in the northwest once again harassed the people, and His Majesty set out to suppress the bandits again. Before His Majesty returned to Beijing, he remembered the woman and searched for the courtyard where the woman was housed at that time. After he went, he found out that the woman had given birth to a child for him, but the woman was seriously ill and was terminally ill. ”

The queen was silent for a moment before she continued slowly: "When the woman saw Your Majesty, she handed over the child to him, and passed away in two days. His Majesty and I had just married at that time, and I was afraid that bringing the child back would break my face, and I was afraid that he would suffer outside, so the cronies around me said that I would hand over the child to him and he would settle it properly. ”

"Since then, His Majesty has never heard of the child again, but he trusts his cronies and knows that the child will not suffer, so he is relieved."

"Ranran, what do you think about this?" When the queen said this, she suddenly asked.

Qin Ranran opened her mouth without thinking: "This matter is completely Your Majesty's fault. With that, she realized that she had said something terrible, and immediately got up to plead guilty.

The queen stretched out her hand to stop her, with a cheerful smile on her face: "This really speaks to my heart, I didn't know about it until recently, and that woman, if His Majesty didn't say anything, how could she get to that point?" As for children, they are even more innocent. It's just that your majesty and I have been in a lot of trouble lately, and we don't know how to place this child. ”

Qin Ranran thought for a moment: "I wonder if Niangniang has seen that child back then?" ”

The queen nodded: "Yes, he doesn't know anything about his background, he is a very good child, and now he has a wife, and his wife is also a very good woman." ”

Qin Ranran was a little distressed: "Why don't you discuss with Your Majesty and talk to that person about her life experience, if he can think about it, give him a release official to do, and ensure that he is safe and prosperous for the rest of his life, if he has other ideas, it is better to make plans as soon as possible, so as not to be used by people with intentions in the future to do heinous things." After speaking, she hurriedly added, "This is just a little idea of mine, if you say something wrong, I hope that Niangniang will forgive me." ”

The queen nodded approvingly: "You have to discuss with Your Majesty and me the same, I believe that those two are good boys, and they will definitely not make a choice that embarrass me and Your Majesty." ”

Qin Ranran replied with a smile: "Your Majesty and Niangniang's vision must not be wrong, you both think that those two are good children, they must be good children!" ”

The queen looked at Qin Ranran fixedly: "Yes, you and Cheng'an are both good children, Your Majesty and I will not look at the wrong person." ”

Qin Ranran was stunned for a moment.

After a while, she found her voice again: "Niangniang, who are you talking about?" ”

********

"Your Majesty, who are you talking about?" Lu Chengan was dumbfounded, and even bit his tongue when he spoke.

"I'm talking about you, for so many years, I can't stand you." Emperor Deqing sat on the wide Taishi chair and looked extremely depressed.

"If I had known about your existence ......" At this point, he couldn't continue, even if he had known about Lu Chengan's existence for a long time, he would only be on guard against him.

Lu Chengan stood woodenly for a long time before he looked up at Emperor Deqing.

The man on the Taishi's chair who is not confused is not very similar to himself, he has long flat eyebrows, but he has two sword eyebrows, he is a sharp Danfeng eye, and he is an ordinary apricot eye. And so many people say that their nose is very similar to the deceased old Pingxihou......

"Your Majesty, are you mistaken...... I, I obviously ......," he said hopefully, "I obviously don't look like you, and, moreover, everyone says that I am still similar to the appearance of the old Pingxihou, Your Majesty, this matter is very important, you, you have to find out." ”

"This is the result of the investigation of the Yuwei Battalion, and Zhang Qing went there in person." Emperor Deqing picked up a stack of papers on the table, and Lu Chengan stepped forward to take it, his hands trembling slightly.

Bangs stood in the corner, suppressing the turbulence in his heart, and quietly looked at the man in front of him.

"It is said that the nephew Uncle Xiao, there is a picture in it that is your uncle's appearance, which is somewhat similar to you and Pingxihou, and it is indeed your mother's younger brother, I have seen it." A little sadness flashed in Emperor Deqing's eyes, "I didn't treat your mother well, and I didn't take good care of you......"

Lu Chengan read the content recorded on the paper page by page, and only felt that his world was completely turned upside down.

His father, who once taught him to write and practice swordsmanship, was not his real father, and he regarded himself as an elder, but today he told himself that he was his father.
