Mistress of the Valley...... It's Shin Shin!

And her son—

Emperor Xingyuan heard his own drum-like heartbeat.

From the troubled times to the present, he has experienced so many things, and he has already hardened his heart. But when he thought of Xinxin's accident and that he and Xinxin were likely to have a son, he couldn't maintain the emperor's calmness.

"How can you be sure that the boy is alive?" Emperor Xingyuan's heart was raised high.

At this moment, he realized what it means to gain and lose.

"There are no matching remains in the valley......

Emperor Xingyuan's eyes flashed with pain, and he stared at He Qingxiao tightly: "You mean, some locals have seen that young man?"

"Yes." He Qingxiao's tone was calm, "Wei Chen brought a few mountain people who had seen that young man into Beijing—"

Emperor Xingyuan's tone was excited: "Bring them to see me!"

When the words fell, Emperor Xingyuan changed his mind: "It's better for me to go and see them, don't let them find out who I am."

After some arrangement, Emperor Xingyuan met with four villagers.

These four people are not from the same place, they don't know each other, three men and one woman, old and young.

"I've seen the old man."

As soon as he spoke, Emperor Xingyuan frowned slightly.

It was the accent of Wanyang's area, and he had a little difficulty listening to it, but he could still understand it.

Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help but think of Empress Xin again.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, Empress Xin proposed that Mongolian children in various places learn official dialect as soon as they entered school, but it was not implemented.

The official dialect has always existed, that is, the Beijing dialect. The children of those rich and noble families in other places will ask their husbands to teach them from the enlightenment, and some children from poor families will also start to learn official dialect if they are willing to go further after being admitted to Xiucai. An official who can appear in front of the emperor will not be bothered by the emperor's accent.

However, starting from ordinary Mongolian children to promote official dialect, the manpower and financial resources required to invest too much.

However, it has to be said that many of Shin Shin's proposals back then would have many benefits if they were implemented despite all kinds of obstacles.

Emperor Xingyuan walked for a moment and looked at the four people who were trembling and saluting him.

"No need to be polite. Listen to my nephew, you have seen my long-lost nephew, can you tell me more about it?" Emperor Xingyuan also used the local pronunciation.

The first woman to speak was the only woman of the four.

"The little woman has seen the boy three times. Once, the little woman lost a hairpin, and was in a hurry, when the boy saw it and helped the little woman find it......

The woman clasped her hands together: "What a benefactor, the hairpin was bought for the old woman in the family, if she can't find it, the little woman will be in trouble......

Seeing that the woman's topic flew out of the sky, and it looked like she could still talk for half an hour, He Qingxiao coughed lightly.

The woman slammed and got down to business: "The second time we met on the road, the little woman said hello to the son. The last time was in March last year, when the little woman saw the boy riding by from afar, and it was really beautiful......

The second one to speak was an old man: "That little boy also helped the old man......

The four of them had all received help, and they remembered the help, big or small, and they also remembered the appearance of the young man deeply.

Emperor Xingyuan listened quietly, but he felt that he didn't hear enough, and gradually had the outline of the young man in his mind.

It's a warm-hearted, free-spirited, happy teenager.

Emperor Xingyuan saw Chang Liang through a wall through a hole.

Chang Liang was bound hand and foot, and when he saw Yan Chao walking in with an iron whip, he looked horrified: "Didn't you say that if you recruit it, you won't be punished?" Leave me alone, I don't know who I'm going to kill, my uncle took me there!" You go to my uncle, you go to my uncle......

Under the heavy sentence, this young man, who has not suffered much since childhood, is on the verge of collapse.

Emperor Xingyuan couldn't listen to it anymore.

When he returned to the palace, the first thing Emperor Xingyuan did was to quietly send the painter who was best at drawing people in the palace, according to the oral portraits of the four mountain people.

Before the palace door was locked, Emperor Xingyuan saw the young man on the portrait.

The boy is very delicate, slender and thin, with a shallow scar on his forehead.

Emperor Xingyuan looked at it again and again, wanting to find his own shadow from this young man's face.

It doesn't seem to resemble him at all - no, the eyes are still somewhat similar.

The next night was a long one for Emperor Xingyuan. He tossed and turned, thinking about the death of the queen, thinking about the identity and whereabouts of the young man, and how to deal with the Guchangbo Mansion......

The next day, the diligent emperor for many years was absent from the early dynasty.

There were many speculations among the courtiers, but fortunately, Emperor Xingyuan appeared on the second day, and everything seemed to be as usual, and that speculation was dispersed.

On this day, Gu Changbo suddenly received an edict and summoned him to the palace.

Before leaving, Gu Changbo took Dai Ze's ear and asked, "You won't cause trouble for Lao Tzu again, will you?"

He was summoned to the palace several times, all because of this bastard thing.

"Nope!" Dai Ze shouted aggrievedly.

"No, no, what's called!" gave his son a slap, Gu Changbo didn't dare to delay entering the palace. Look at the book

"The minister has seen Your Majesty."

Gu Changbo met Emperor Xingyuan in Xiyuan.

March has arrived, and the spring in the West Garden is getting stronger, and a tree is blooming.

Emperor Xingyuan had a case in front of him, with delicious food and wine. The sound of silk and bamboo wafting from nowhere passed through the rockery flowers and trees, lingering in the pavilion with gauze tents hanging on all sides.

"Four stones, sit here."

Gu Changbo was stunned for a moment.

The Four Stones is his name.

There were three brothers in front of him, and when he came to him he was called Four Stones. At that time, the people around him were all such crude names, and later he rose to the top of his life, and he was impatient to take a crepe word, and the name Sishi was rarely shouted.

People called him uncle, and the emperor called him Gu Changbo.

Hearing the emperor call his name today, Gu Changbo felt a little confused.

At that time, the emperor was not yet the emperor, they drank together, fought together, and had disputes because of different opinions, and the emperor called him that.

Four stones, four stone brothers.

Gu Changbo sat down opposite Emperor Xingyuan.

"I remember, it's your birthday in a few days."

"Yes."

"Time is so fast......

It was a long time ago that such kings and ministers sat and drank together.

Gu Changbo was very restrained at first, especially when he was summoned alone several times before, because his son was scolded.

But wine is spirits, people are old people, and after a few drinks, they gradually let go.

Monarchs and ministers talk about the past, some are difficult, some are dangerous, and some are full of joy after victory.

Gu Changbo was slightly drunk, with a relaxed smile on his face, and suddenly heard a sound.

He calmed down and found that it was Emperor Xingyuan's hand that the wine glass fell off and shattered on the ground of white marble.

"Your Majesty—" Before he could speak, there was a stabbing sound outside the pavilion, and Gu Changbo's face changed suddenly.

It was the familiar sound of a sword unsheathed.

The people outside the pavilion poured in, and the light in the pavilion suddenly became dim.

Gu Changbo felt that he must have drunk too much and had hallucinations.

"Your Majesty—"

He spoke again, and the person opposite suddenly grabbed him by the hem of his shirt with one hand, and a dagger was placed next to his neck.
