Chapter 128: Mystery

Shen Run frowned: "Who is it if it's not a pure concubine?" ”

"The palace maid said that Concubine Chun had only given birth to a second princess, and the eldest princess was not Concubine Chun's biological daughter. There was indeed a big princess in Feng Ming Kingdom, if the baby survived, it was indeed about the same age as the princess, but the baby was born because of the queen of Feng Ming Kingdom, one corpse and two lives, both mother and daughter died, the eldest princess died in the womb, and it is impossible for Feng Ming Kingdom to have a big princess, as for who this big princess is now, the palace maid said that she doesn't know. ”

Shen Run's heart was cold, he was silent for a moment, and asked in a cold voice:

"Have you verified that?"

"After that, my subordinates inquired about the queen of the Feng Ming Kingdom, and learned that the queen of the Feng Ming Kingdom did die in childbirth seventeen years ago, and a national funeral was held at that time, which many people in the Feng Ming Kingdom remember."

"According to you, she is not the eldest princess of the Phoenix Kingdom, nor was she born from a pure concubine, so who is she? And where did it come from? Shen Run stared at him coldly, and asked in a deep voice, his voice could not hear joy or anger, and he felt a strong oppressive force from that Sensen's tone.

Under such coercion, Zhang Xing sweated like rain, knelt down and pleaded guilty:

"The subordinates are incompetent, as for the origin of the princess, the subordinates only found out this, and the others failed to find out."

Shen Run was speechless.

Zhang Xing knelt on the ground, hanging his head.

Shen Run thought for a long time, looked up at him, and his voice returned to calm:

"What else?"

"His Royal Highness has come to repair the book, and specially asked his subordinates to investigate the relationship between the Feng Netherworld and the Longxi Kingdom and the strange things of the Feng Netherworld. At the behest of His Highness, his subordinates visited the villages near Mount Shengzi, and in one of the villages they met a blind woman, who said that eighteen years ago, a group of people suddenly broke into the village and snatched away her son, who was not yet a full moon, and the whereabouts of the child are still unknown. His subordinates inquired that during that time, that is, from twenty years ago to fifteen or sixteen years ago, there were many incidents of robbing babies in the Feng Ming Kingdom. The baby's parents said that it was not ordinary thugs who snatched the baby, but soldiers in military uniforms. The whereabouts of the snatched babies were unknown, and they were snatched and never returned, so the woman was blinded by tears, but the government ignored them, and there was no way to complain. When the subordinates visited these people, they also unexpectedly heard another bizarre thing, every once in a while, there was a large-scale case of robbing babies in Feng Mingguo, because they all said that it was done by the officials and soldiers, and no one in the yamen accepted this kind of case, so the subordinates guessed that the act of snatching children was tacitly approved by the imperial court, but they didn't know what Feng Mingguo wanted so many babies to do. ”

Shen Run didn't know.

Zhang Xing's words made him feel too bizarre, it was incredible, what did the imperial court take the lead in snatching babies, whether it was conscription or recruiting eunuchs, it was too early to start collecting babies. Could it be that the officials of the Feng Ming Kingdom collectively lack sons, or do they want to gather the babies of the whole country to feed them together for the future of the country?

That's!

Shen Run laughed and laughed, he couldn't figure it out.

In addition, my subordinates heard in one of the villages that about seventeen years ago, a group of foreigners suddenly came to Xiangying, and that group of foreigners brought many young children. The subordinates asked them what kind of foreigners they were, and showed them the costumes of various countries, and they said that the clothes worn by the group of foreigners back then seemed to be the costumes of our Longxi Kingdom. ”

Shen Run frowned, the more he listened, the more he felt that this matter was weird, seventeen years ago, it was the year Chenguang was born, that year the queen of the Phoenix Kingdom took the eldest princess of the Phoenix Kingdom with a corpse and two lives because of difficult childbirth, but fourteen years later, the eldest princess who should have died returned to the palace of the Phoenix Kingdom.

It was also the year when the eldest princess of the Phoenix Kingdom died, and many babies in the Phoenix Kingdom were snatched away.

In the same year, Long Xiguo actually sent a large number of young children to Feng Yingguo.

These strange events were connected together, and inexplicably, Shen Run felt a burst of creepy.

He remembered the cold skin of the morning light, the breathing that was so weak that it was barely felt, and the long sleeps that often occurred with her.

Shen Run only felt a chill all over his body, and almost had a cold war.

After thinking about it, I felt funny again, the morning light was alive and soft, although it was a little cold, but she was human.

"Anything else?" He asked lightly.

"No, that's all my subordinates have found." Zhang Xing replied.

"Let's go and find out, seventeen years ago, who brought people to Feng Yingguo." After thinking for a long time, Shen Run opened his mouth and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes." Zhang Xing responded, and seeing that he had no other orders, he retreated.

"Let people keep up with the morning light, from today onwards, never leave, no matter who she sees, even if she sees a minion, she must report it to me." Shen Run ordered Fu Li in a deep voice.

"Yes." Fu Li responded.

Shen Run picked up the scroll, slowly turned a page, and suddenly asked:

"The woman I met in the tunnel of Xiu Se Yuan that day has not been found?"

"Back to His Highness, his subordinates ordered someone to conduct a comprehensive search in the dark, but let alone a trace, there is not even a clue."

He said cautiously, paying attention to observe His Highness's expression, but fortunately His Highness was not angry, flipped through the books, and said lightly:

"Add manpower, check quickly!"

"Yes!"

When Chenguang returned to the mansion, it was already past dinner time, and the lights in Yuqiongxuan were bright, only Shen Runzai would light so many lights, and Chenguang would not be so bright at night when he was alone.

She pursed her lips and crossed the threshold, and sure enough, she saw Shen Run sitting on the couch where she used to sit reading a book, and when she heard the movement, he raised his head and said with a gentle smile:

"Are you back, have you eaten?"

"I ate at Qingyi's place. Xiao Run, haven't you eaten yet? ”

"I knew you would eat at Qingyi's place, I ate it."

Chenguang felt that Shen Run was a little abnormal today, so she nodded curtly, she turned around and went to the inner room to freshen up, changed into homely clothes, and Shen Run was still sitting on the couch when she came out.

"The Seven Kingdoms are about to begin, and I have received news that your father is seriously ill and may not survive this winter." Shen Run said suddenly.

Chenguang was stunned for a moment, first showing a surprised expression, and then a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled sadly and lowered her head, which was a sad expression that had accepted her fate:

"My father's health has always been bad, I knew there would be this day."

Shen Run observed her expression, and when she suddenly heard the news that her father, who had been sick, was getting worse and about to pass away, her reaction was very natural and sincere, and people couldn't see the flaws.

"You want to go back, right?" Shen Run said.

Chenguang was stunned, and watched him stop talking for two breaths, it felt like he wanted to ask willfully but suppressed his willfulness because he was too sensible.

"I'll go back with you after the Seven Kingdoms." He said.

Chenguang's eyes lit up suddenly, and then became teary: "Really? She asked movingly.

"Really." Shen Run nodded with a smile.

Chenguang was overjoyed, rushed over, and threw himself into his arms.

Shen Run hugged her waist and gently rubbed her back, the warm nephrite was in his arms, his scarlet lips were hooked, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

……

After Shen Run left, Chenguang asked Huo Wu suspiciously: "What's wrong with Xiao Run, why does he look strange when he looks at me?" It's like seeing a ghost. ”

"Zhang Xing has returned from the Feng Ming Kingdom." Fire Dance said.

Chenguang raised his eyebrows, and after a while, poofed and laughed.
