Chapter 388: What Are You Expecting to Hear?
Huo Mingzhai's body was shocked, he turned around, and his steps intensified to raise his hand to pat his arm, but when he saw the python robe on his body and the eunuch behind him, he stopped again and again, and saluted uprightly.
Yang Su returned the salute, and then the father and son sat down hand in hand.
It has been nearly a year since Huizhou separated, and Yang Su and the Huo family's parents have been close, especially after experiencing such a thing this time, they should be even more emotional.
However, whether Huo Mingzhai participated in the events of that year has not yet been revealed, and he can only restrain himself even if he misses it.
Yang Su said: "I heard that my father was originally in Luoyang? Is it still too peaceful on the way here? ”
Huo Mingzhai saw his attitude like this, and secretly knew it. He did not evade and said: "Mingli delivered the goods to Luoyang, saying that Luoyang peony is blooming well this year, and invited me to see it, so I went."
"Just two days after I arrived, I heard that something had happened in Beijing, so I hurried to Beijing. Fortunately, the guards were very good on the road, and they chose places to avoid the rebels. ”
"Mother, I don't know when they will arrive?"
"Calculate the distance, and you should be able to get there in a few days."
Yang Su rubbed his fingers, thinking that no matter how much greeting was awkward, he took the tea with his own hand, served it to Huo Mingzhai's hand, and said with a deep breath: "Presumably my father has heard about it, and I still have some things that I don't know, please explain it to my father in detail." ”
"You say."
"What was the emperor's idea when he entrusted me to my father? Fu Rong's life experience, does his father know? ”
Huo Mingzhai was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Child, what are you expecting to hear?" ”
"Listen to the whole story, of course." Yang Su clenched his fists, "I want to know if he sent me out of the palace for my own good, or if he didn't plan to ask me at all." Why did he choose my father to raise me? ”
Huo Mingzhai looked at him: "You didn't ask him about these things?" ”
Yang Su was silent. He had nothing to talk about with the emperor. Or, he didn't even think to ask him, as a father, he had completely lost his prestige here, and no matter what the emperor said, he wouldn't believe it anymore.
In contrast, on the contrary, he was more willing to adopt Huo Mingzhai's words.
Huo Mingzhai didn't wait for an answer, so he said: "I happened to deliver the goods to Jingshi that year, and my father was still there at that time, so I brought two pieces of good jade to the palace to please the monarch and protect the Huo family's business."
"Unexpectedly, when Concubine Shu had an accident, he saw me halfway to the harem, I didn't dare to leave for a while, so I stayed in the Qianqing Palace and waited, but after a while, the eunuch passed me to the hospital and told me not to make a noise.
"When I arrived at the Tai Hospital, the emperor was in the inner court, and he was still holding a bloodstained newborn child in his hand, the child's face was pale, although I had just married at the time, and I had never had children, I could see that it was abnormal.
Sure enough, the emperor then handed over the child to me and asked me to take it out of the palace. It is said that you were born at a bad time, and you don't look like you have a long life, so don't stay in the palace.
"I think he couldn't be ruthless at that time to dispose of you, so he simply handed it over to me, and then resigned himself to fate. Therefore, I didn't tell anyone that Concubine Shu gave birth to a prince, but after all, she was a prince, so she still left her hands and footprints. ”
After Huo Mingzhai finished speaking, he pursed his lips.
Yang Su was silent for a while and said, "I don't believe it. ”
Huo Mingzhai looked over.
"I don't believe it." Yang Su stood up, "If he will be ruthless, how can he use me as Fu Rong's stepping stone later?" ”
"But it's true!" Huo Mingzhai tapped lightly on the table with his five fingers, and his speech slowed down: "As for Fu Rong, actually, he has something to do with me." ”
Yang Su paused.
Huo Mingzhai sighed and mentioned the events of the year: "Back then, I carried you out of the palace, and you almost cried under the palace gate without drinking a mouthful of milk, I covered your mouth and walked out of half a mile before letting you go, you can only hum like a cat."
"But I don't dare to look for milk casually, your mother was also in Jingshi at that time, and she was panicked when she saw you.
"Neither of us has children yet, so we don't have any idea at all. Later, I still heard the embroidery lady in the shop say that the baby was crying from the Guangshu Wangfu next door, and there may be a nurse.
"At that time, the Guangshu Mansion had fallen to only a shell, and the people were not prosperous, so no one in the city took them seriously. That's why we have the courage to go to Ho's house.
"Your mother and I carried you to the front door of He's house, and no one answered when we shouted the door, and I looked at the house because it was too big, and the porter was not sure to do his best, so I went to the back alley with you humming and crying, thinking that there were many people there, and there would always be a few people who reported it.
"We knew that the back alley was also deserted than we imagined, and as soon as we reached the entrance of the alley, we saw a woman carrying a basket to the other end of the alley, and there was a loud baby crying under the cloth in the basket!
"But because we were holding a baby in our hands, we couldn't help but go with it, but we heard the woman sigh and say to the basket, 'Your life is also miserable, and you are born in this house.'"
"We heard the ominous meaning, and we didn't know if to follow it for a while. How did you know that you cried again, and the woman was alarmed, so we simply walked over, pretended not to hear, and inquired directly about the nurse.
"That woman is really a nurse, and she was hired to come to this palace. Seeing that your mother gave you a lot of money, she was very willing to nurse you.
"When your mother chatted with her, she naturally got to the baby, and she realized that the child was born in the palace.
"Your mother was secretly surprised when she saw that the child was still covered in brocade. Thinking that the palace can wrap the child in brocade, it will definitely not be an ordinary person, but at that time, there was only the last King Guangshu left in the He family, so who would this child be if he was not King Guangshu?
"After saying goodbye to the nurse, your mother followed me, and behold, the woman was standing by the river, and was about to throw the child into the river.
"I couldn't bear it with your mother, so I pretended to the woman that I needed to raise an adopted son to resolve the disaster, and paid for the child with her, and let him nurse you for a few days, until we found your nurse who was willing to accompany us to Huizhou.
"I took the child back to the shop, and I saw that he was born healthy and strong, but he stayed and stayed, but how could he bring it to the Huo family?
"I just raised a prince who was just born, if I still have children from individual families, and the origin of the children can't be said outside, the emperor won't suspect me of confusing the royal blood in the future?
"Thinking about it, I want to find someone in Jingshi to entrust the children of the He family.
"Our Huo family has made friends with a lot of nobles in Beijing over the years, I thought about it again and again, and found that the wife of the Fu family is about to give birth, and I and Fu Mingjiang, the son of Guangwei Hou, happened to have dinner together a few days ago, and the children of the He family are not bad at raising the Fu family.
So I went to him, concealed the identity of the child, and entrusted him to him. But in the night, the news came that the king of Guangshu had died. ”
