Ying Zheng looked around for movement in other directions, and found nothing suspicious.

After a short time, the third watch brought back the person who was following him.

Seeing this person's outfit, Ying Zheng relieved his heart, and after interrogation, Ying Zheng knew in his heart that it was a false alarm.

It turned out that this person was a little eunuch in the palace, named Chang Shun, who had just entered the palace and was sent by Zhao Gao to find Yingzheng.

Zhao Gao returned to the palace from Mengfu, and when he saw that Yingzheng had not returned to the palace for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little worried, so Zhao Gao planned to come out to greet Yingzheng.

It happened that someone came to the palace to ask to see Zhao Gao, saying that he wanted to meet Yingzheng, Zhao Gao understood the meaning of this person, so he took this person and two little eunuchs to find Yingzheng. But because of the Xiangye's Mansion, the people who came did not want to enter the mansion, and a few people waited outside the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After noon, Ying Zheng did not come out, Zhao Gao suddenly remembered that Ying Zheng might go out from the outer mansion, so he sent two little eunuchs to wait at the gate of the outer mansion.

When the two little eunuchs saw Yingzheng go out, they went back to find Zhao Gao and left this Chang Shun.

Chang Shun has been in the palace for a short time, and he is a timid person, so he only dared to follow Yingzheng behind, but did not dare to come forward directly to tell him. The third watch found that someone was following him, and thought it was an assassin, so he arrested Chang Shun.

Ying Zheng asked Chang Shun who asked to see him, Chang Shun said that he didn't know him, but looking at the dress, he was also a person in the palace, and he was about half a hundred years old.

Ying Zheng saw that this place was not far from the palace, and calculated the time, so he asked Chang Shun to inform Zhao Gao to return to the palace directly, and he continued to walk in the direction of the palace with the three watches.

Not long after returning to the palace, Zhao Gao returned.

After entering the door, Zhao Gao knelt down and bowed to the ground: "The slave discipline is not good, so that Chang Shun, who has just entered the palace, startled the king, and asked the king to punish him." ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's just a small misunderstanding, don't take it to heart, get up quickly." ”

Zhao Gao got up and walked to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the slaves have been waiting for the king outside the gate of Lu Xiangbang's inner mansion, but I didn't expect the king to come out of the outer mansion." Zhao Gao said, "Blame the slaves for being stupid, they should go to the king in person."

"The widow went to the foreign house to take a look at Lu Xiangbang's Taoist hall, which was quite interesting, and the students of various schools were all discussing and arguing together. After thinking that the time was not early, he came out directly from the gate of the outer house. Ying Zheng said.

Zhao Gao nodded and said: "I see, it is also a loss to Chang Shun, otherwise the slaves are still waiting outside the gate of the inner mansion." ”

"You go directly to find the widow, and you can just meet the Daoist Hall." Ying Zheng said, "The widow has already asked Lu Xiangbang to build such a Taoist hall in the city." ”

"If this pavilion is located in the city, and not in the palace of a certain prefecture, it should attract a lot of wise men from all over the world." Zhao Gao nodded and said.

"That's nature." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that someone wants to meet the widow, who is it?" ”

"Back to the king, he is the chief attendant of the palace, Yingfu." Zhao Gao said.

"Oh? The widow had heard of this man. Ying Zheng paused and said, "He seems to have been a person next to the former king, and he was later sent to the palace." What is he looking for? ”

"The servants also asked him, and he said that he could only speak before he could meet the king." Zhao Gao said.

"Call him in, there might be something important." Ying Zheng said.

Zhao Gao responded and retreated.

Not long after, an old man who was nearly half a hundred years old walked in with Zhao Gao, dressed relatively ordinary. With gray hair and no beard, it can be seen that it should be a chamberlain in the palace.

"Slave Yingfu, meet the king." Ying Fu said as he knelt down and bowed.

"Get up and talk." Ying Zheng stepped forward and picked up Ying Fu.

Ying Fu stood up and looked Ying Zheng up and down, his eyes were like looking at his own child, and unconsciously, his eyes were already slightly moist.

"The old slave came to meet the king at the behest of Mrs. Xia." Yingfu held back his excitement and said.

"Mrs. Xia? Will? Ying Zheng had never heard of this person, and asked suspiciously.

"The king really didn't know anything about it." Ying Fu shook his head slightly, "It's no wonder. ”

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Fu with a puzzled expression.

Ying Fu turned to ask, "Did the king know the old slave?" ”

"The widow has heard that you served the kings before you." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is not only serving the previous king, but also accompanying life and death." At the mention of the first king, Yingfu's eyes turned completely red, and he said in a trembling voice, "If it weren't for the entrustment of the first king, I'm afraid that the old minister would have gone with the first king." ”

"Come, sit down and talk slowly." Ying Zheng gave Ying Fu to his seat, the two sat down together, and Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to make tea again.

Ying Zheng has followed his mother since he was born, and he didn't even see his father Ying Yiren before returning to Qin, so he lacked a lot of his father's love during his childhood. Back in Qin, soon his father fell ill, and there was not much normal communication between father and son. Now that I meet my father's former deceased, I naturally feel close, and I am eager to know some things about my father.

Yingfu arched his hand, knelt down and sat down and said: "The old slave has followed the first king since he was a child, and his name was also given by the first king. ”

"Oh?" Ying Zheng leaned forward, he didn't expect Ying Fu to be so close to his father.

Yingfu continued: "And the old slave said that Mrs. Xia is the biological mother of the former king, and she is also the king's own grandmother. The thing that the former king entrusted to the old slave was to take care of Mrs. Xia and fulfill his filial piety on behalf of the first king. After speaking, Yingfu's eyes finally left tears, and no one knows how much nostalgia, reluctance, grievance, and sadness are contained in these tears.

"That's it...... While...... True? Ying Zheng couldn't calm down, his lips trembled, he never thought that in addition to his mother and younger brother Cheng Huan, there was also a dear person in the world, or his biological grandmother!

Yingfu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and told the past one by one.

It turned out that Ying Fu grew up with Ying Yiren since he was a child, and accompanied Ying Yiren to play, read, and practice martial arts. Ying Yiren also treats him as his own brother, just like the relationship between Ying Zheng and Zhao Gao now.

Later, Ying Yiren went to Zhao to be a proton, and Ying Fu followed him to Zhao and served around the world, and in those years, the two suffered a lot.

Later, with the help of Lü Buwei, Yingyi returned to Qin with Yingfu. Mrs. Huayang accepted Ying Yiren as her adopted son, and Ying Yiren entered the palace as a son, and Ying Fu purified herself and continued to serve Ying Yiren.

At that time, Mrs. Huayang was favored and was the crown princess of Prince An Guojun. If Ying Yiren wants to keep the position of the prince, he can't serve the second mother, and in desperation, Ying Yiren's biological mother Xia had to move out of the palace and go to live in the palace in Yongcheng. And Ying Yiren couldn't rest assured that his biological mother was at ease, so he sent his most trusted Ying Fu to the palace to serve Mrs. Xia.

Yingfu grew up beside Mrs. Xia since she was a child, and she has long regarded Mrs. Xia as her mother, taking care of her wholeheartedly, and has lived in the palace for more than ten years.

Now Mrs. Xia is nearly seventy years old, and her body is still very strong, which is mostly the reason why Yingfu takes care of her wholeheartedly.

Later, Ying Yiren became the crown prince, and then became the king of Qin, but because of Mrs. Huayang, it was difficult to take her biological mother back to the palace, so she had to visit privately in her spare time.

After Ying Zheng returned to Qin, Ying Yiren felt that Ying Zheng was young and didn't want to add obstacles to him, and he was even more afraid that Ying Zheng would lose the protection of Mrs. Huayang, so he didn't tell Ying Zheng about it. So to this day, Ying Zheng doesn't know that he still has a grandmother living in the old capital Yongcheng.

Now, the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji wants to move out of the palace, and the goal is to leave the palace, so she ordered everyone who lives in the palace to evacuate within ten days, and these people can't move back to the palace to live. Faced with the situation of homelessness, Mrs. Xia ordered Yingfu to come to Yingzheng for help, hoping that Yingzheng could properly resettle the people living in the palace.

After listening to Ying Fu's narration, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

The dignified monarch of a country did not even know about his own grandmother, and he never saw it. His father may have had no choice at the time, but how can the current Yingzheng sit idly by, not to mention that the current situation is very different from the beginning.

"Can the widow call you a fuber?" After a brief silence, Ying Zheng said.

Yingfu hurriedly got up and bowed: "The old slave can't afford to be called by the king, and I hope that the king won't torture the old slave." ”

"In terms of seniority, you are an elder." Ying Zheng said, "Compared to what you did for your father and grandmother, it is not too much to be knighted and rewarded. It's just a title, and the widow just thinks it's more intimate. ”

Yingfu was silent, not knowing what to do. He didn't dare to go against Ying Zheng's wishes, but he didn't dare to directly accept Ying Zheng's title.

"It's not a difficult thing to live in my grandmother's house, so let my grandmother move back to the palace. The widow chose a few houses next to the dormitory and packed them up for his grandmother to live in. Ying Zheng said very seriously, "As for the Queen Mother's side, it shouldn't be too difficult for the widow to talk about it." In the future, when I lived with my grandmother, I would often listen to my grandmother talk about the previous king. ”

Tears overflowed from the corners of Yingfu's eyes again, and he said gratefully: "The king's grace, Yingfu is grateful, Yingfu is not ......"

"Don't be polite to the widow." Ying Zheng raised his hand and interrupted Ying Fu's words, "Don't say that it is the widow's own grandmother, even if it is someone else, the cause of the matter is also because of the queen mother, how can the widow not care." ”

The corners of Yingfu's mouth moved, I don't know if he was moved, or if he wanted to say something but didn't say it.

"Fauber, widowed grandmother, is she well?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Madame, she has a very strong body. I'm always idle, I like to make pastries, and I always cook by myself. Ying Fu smiled and said.

"That's good, let the widow compensate for the unfinished filial piety of the first king." Ying Zheng turned his head and shouted outside the door, "Zhao Gao." ”

Zhao Gao entered the door and said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

"Find a few spare dormitories, clean them up, and then go and allocate some money and give them to Fauber." Ying Zheng said loudly, "Send some more carts to help grandmother carry things." He also sent the widow's chariot and horse to fetch his grandmother. ”

"The servants obey the king's commands." Zhao Gao replied with an arched hand.

"Fu Bo, it's getting late, so I'm resting in the palace today. When the arrangements are made tomorrow, you can take the convoy back to the palace and pick up your grandmother. ”

"The old slave also obeys the king's orders." The joy of Yingfu is all on his face.

That night, Ying Zheng accompanied Ying Fu to dine together, and the two kept talking, talking about the interesting things of his father back then, the ups and downs he encountered as a proton in Zhao State, and the life of Mrs. Xia in the palace.

The two didn't go back to rest until late, but they still didn't seem to have a good conversation.
