Zhao Mansion is located in the eastern district of the outer city of the capital, not far from the gate of the inner city, it was originally Zhu Bocai's outer house, when Zhao Bufan married Zhu Lian, Zhu Bocai waved his hand, and directly married Zhao Bufan with all the maids and servants, and since then it has become Zhao Mansion.

In the past few months, the servants and maids of the Zhao Mansion have been full of joy, and every time they go out to purchase or do things, they have raised their heads and chests, changing their low-key in the past, as if they suddenly have confidence, and even the servants who are used to being polite to them in the Gao Yu Mansion are polite to them, which really makes the people feel strange, and all kinds of rumors and rumors are circulating in the market.

Soon after, the people heard the rumors, and Zhao Bufan, who was known to be in the north of Xinjiang, returned to Beijing to recuperate, and then they were relieved, as the saying goes, the servant is the master, Zhao Bufan has been in the limelight all these years, he returned to Tokyo, and the servants and maids of the Zhao Mansion naturally have confidence.

On this day, Zhu Lian took his sister Zhu Fengying and cousin Zhu Xuan to buy some rouge gouache, and happily returned to Zhao's mansion. "Why did you get up, the medical officer only told you to lie down and rest quietly yesterday, why didn't you listen to the advice?"

With her persuasion, Zhu Fengying and Zhu Xuan, two little beauties, also stepped forward and called sweetly: "Brother-in-law!"

Zhao Bufan suddenly smiled and looked over.

"What good things did you two go out to buy today?"

Zhu Fengying is Zhu Lian's own sister, although she is still young, she has already made a marriage contract with Zhao Kai, the third prince with extraordinary literary talents, and the wedding date is set for two years later, and now she is only thirteen years old, but she is also slim and delicate.

Zhu Xuan, who was standing next to her, was a year older, and she was also a beautiful embryo, and her father was Zhu Dingguo, who followed Liu Fa to martyrdom in Western Xinjiang, and she was also Zhu Lian's cousin.

Zhu Dingguo was originally a member of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family has been an official eunuch for generations, and the royal Zhao official family is not only a relationship between several generations of monarchs and ministers, but also an unreasonable in-law relationship.

Tong Guan was unable to protect himself at that time and did not want to cause trouble, so not only did he not accuse Zhu Dingguo, but used the death of Zhu Dingguo's father and son to prove that Liu Fa was not in proper command and pulled the Zhu family directly into the water. At that time, the 100,000 army was annihilated, and someone must be responsible for the crime, Zhu Dingguo's father and son were directly involved, and they were the first to be defeated and killed in the battle, no matter how big or small the responsibility is, after all, there is, so the Zhu family did not dare to say much about this matter, it can be said that they were ruthlessly put together by Tong Guan.

In order to appease the Zhu family, he not only chased the killed Zhu Dingguo father and son, but also personally summoned Zhu Xuan and her mother, because she saw Zhu Xuan in the court and was beautiful, her literary style was also good, and she loved it very much, and immediately proposed to give her to the prince Zhao Heng, Zhu Xuan's mother did not have much choice, and nodded after weighing the pros and cons, just because Zhu Xuan had not yet reached the age of fifteen, so the marriage date was also set two years later.

At this time, Zhu Fengying and Zhu Xuan heard Zhao Bufan's inquiry, and handed out the rouge gouache in their hands, and the younger Zhu Fengying smiled sweetly: "Brother-in-law, these are all rouge gouaches bought for Sister Xuan, you can't use them!"

"You didn't bring me something?" Zhao Bufan had the intention to tease her, pretending not to be very happy.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fengying instantly stuck out her tongue, made a cute grimace at Zhao Bufan, and pulled Zhu Xuan to run.

"My brother-in-law is just a stupid gourd, he always teases us like three-year-old children, and he doesn't bother to tell you!"

"Hey, this girl still thinks I'm stupid?" Zhao Bufan was stunned.

Zhu Lian saw that he was stunned by Zhu Fengying, covered his mouth and chuckled: "Don't look at her two young, her heart is like a mirror, she understands everything!"

Hearing this, Zhao Bufan felt sorry for him, looked at the two little beauties running away, sighed and shook his head: "This is too early! They should be full of innocence and happiness at this age, they shouldn't be taught so precocious!"

Zhu Lian suddenly rolled his eyes: "You, the person who is known as the Great Song Huo Quai, actually said that they were small, and when you first started in the army, you were not much older than them!"

"My situation is different, it can't be compared!" Zhao Bufan shook his head, but didn't explain much.

Zhu Lian thought he was arrogant when he said this, and immediately laughed.

"Yes, husband, you are wise and martial, and my sister can't compare with you! But my Song Dynasty women have reached the age of marriage at the age of fifteen, and they are all people who want to marry into the royal family, so if you don't let them be sensible earlier, how can you do it?"

"Why do you have to marry into the royal family?" Zhao Bufan questioned.

"If you don't marry into the royal family, who will you marry? Only by marrying the royal family can this world be considered the most stable, and you can take care of each other in the future, so that the Zhu family will not fall!"

Thinking of Da Song's situation, Zhao Bufan couldn't argue with her, knowing that he couldn't tell her about this issue, so he suddenly changed the topic with a smile. "In that case, then why didn't you marry Zhao Heng in the first place, what did you do when you married me, a poor soldier?"

Zhu Lian was stunned, and after a while, he reacted, knowing that Zhao Bufan was making fun of him, so he immediately took a sip.

"You are really shameless and skinless, how could I marry you, you know in your own heart, it's not that my father and I have been deceived by you!"

Seeing her hard mouth, Zhao Bufan laughed, suddenly hugged Zhu Lian horizontally, and strode towards the door. "Since you have been deceived and the raw rice has been cooked, you still dare to scold your husband, don't you know the way to be a woman?

Zhu Lian was embarrassed, and immediately swung his fist and beat him in the chest.

"You big liar, let me go!"

At the corner of the courtyard wall, there was a silver bell-like laughter, and Zhu Fengying and Zhu Xuan came out and took a sneak look.

Zhu Lian was instantly confused, suddenly broke free of Zhao Bufan's hand, glared at him with a blushing face, bit his red lip and ran towards Zhu Fengying and Zhu Xuan, making a threat. "Why don't you two go back to your own house, hide here and watch the excitement? What do you adults do and what do children watch?"

Seeing her chasing after her, Zhu Fengying and Zhu Xuan quickly lifted their skirts and ran away, still shouting in their mouths: "Sister is angry and embarrassed!

Zhao Bufan watched the three sisters go crazy from a distance, and couldn't help laughing: "These two girls really know everything!"

At this time, Zhu Bocai's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Extraordinary, even if the two of you husband and wife are very affectionate, but you still have to be more restrained, in this public, you still have to pay more attention to the image of the general of Northern Xinjiang, how can you still be seen by the two girls Feng Ying and Xiao Xuan, with her two big mouths, when she enters the palace the next day, it will definitely be transmitted to the harem, and the saint will soon know!"

Zhao Bufan turned around and saw Zhu Bocai striding in from outside the arch of the courtyard, and immediately saluted.

"Why is my father-in-law here?"

Zhu Bocai walked closer, looked up and down with a smile, and said happily: "Your internal injuries are healed?"

"It's getting better, but it's not healed yet!" Zhao Bufan shook his head, straightened up and said: "Scholar Huang's Nine Yin True Scripture is very effective, since I cultivated with the Healing Chapter, the broken meridians have been gradually healing, and even the cracks in the inner mansion of the dantian are gradually healing, but unfortunately Scholar Huang's Nine Yin True Scripture has not been perfected yet, and it has not been completely separated from Taoism, even if he often comes to tell me about it, it is still profound and difficult to understand, and the progress of practice is also very slow, and when I fully learn it, I don't know how long it will take!"

"Don't worry, the northern Xinjiang has been stable recently, and the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are recuperating, you can recuperate with peace of mind, this is also the meaning of the saint!" Zhu Bocai finished speaking, and then walked straight to the study on the left. "Let's not talk about this now, you come to the study with me, I have something to ask you!"

Zhao Bufan saw that Zhu Bocai's voice was more serious, and he knew that it was a big deal, so he couldn't help frowning lightly and followed to the study.

After he sat down, Zhu Bocai closed the door with his hand, slowly walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, closed his eyes, and gently tapped the coffee table next to him with his right hand.

The room was silent for a long time, and Zhao Bufan's brows became tighter and tighter.

After a full quarter of an hour, Zhu Bocai suddenly opened his eyes, and the essence flickered.

"What is your relationship with Xue Ling under Tong Guan?"

Zhao Bufan raised his head instantly, and his eyes looked straight at Zhu Bocai.

"Why? can't you say?" Zhu Bocai smiled slightly.

Between the lightning and flint, Zhao Bufan had a plan in his heart, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Zhu Bocai, so he got up directly and said: "Father-in-law, it's not that the son-in-law deliberately conceals it, it's really her special identity, and she is also kind to me, I have no choice!"

Zhu Bocai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sit down, sit down!" I'm not here to question you, just to know the truth, I now know that this Xue Ling is not only a double-faced work under Cai Jing and Tong Guan, but also a killer who works for Western Xia, she has been targeted by my masters a few days ago, and she can set a trap to kill her at any time, so you must tell me the truth, otherwise I don't know how to treat her!"

Zhao Bufan was shocked, he couldn't hide it, and said at a very fast speed: "Father-in-law, Xue Ling is my only relative, I can't kill her, although she has committed a lot of sins, but she is just a victim of this war era, the real culprit is Brother Richard, the king of Jin in Western Xia, the little junior sister was just brainwashed by him, and there was a mental problem, in this troubled world, some things should be treated differently! She is the orphan of my master, because of the master's negligence back then, she and her mother were in the ...... of Xixia."

"Huh!" Zhu Bocai, who was listening quietly, changed his expression drastically, blue and white for a while, and exclaimed: "She is Zhao Xueling!"

Barely hesitating for a moment, Zhu Bocai suddenly got up and rushed to the front, and asked urgently: "What about her mother?"

Zhao Bufan was stunned.

In a moment, many possibilities quickly flashed in his heart, and his eyes looked at Zhu Bocai in surprise: "Father-in-law, you knew Xue Ling before? Her surname is Zhao? My sister's name is Li Ruoqing? Then don't you still know my master? Do you know his name?"

Zhu Bocai didn't care so much at all, his eyes were red, and he suddenly grabbed Zhao Bufan's collar and asked urgently: "I asked you what about Li Ruoqing?"

At this moment, Zhu Bocai's eyes were glaring angrily, his sword eyebrows were raised, and his lips were trembling, which was really an excitement that Zhao Bufan had never seen before.

Zhao Bufan was thinking for a long time in his heart, and he quickly replied: "Shi Niang is dead, Xue Ling said that Shi Niang returned to Western Xia when she was four years old, but she was besieged and killed!"

"Kick!Kick!!"

Zhu Bocai was struck by lightning, and suddenly took a few steps back, panicking.

"How much do you know now, tell me everything, word for word!"

Looking at his grief-stricken appearance, Zhao Bufan did not hesitate, even if he told Xue Ling what he had told him one by one.

............

When he finished speaking, Zhu Bocai was already in tears!

This person who has been in a desperate situation for half his life and has never cried has burst into tears at this time.

"Big brother, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for my sister-in-law!!"

"Big brother, sister-in-law?" Zhao Bufan was shocked, and after thinking about it for a while, he instantly understood, and his eyes widened in disbelief. "Father-in-law, you and my master are friends for eight years, and you already know who my master is?"

Zhu Bocai seemed to have been hit hard, and his tone was full of indescribable sadness.

"When I was as young as you and your master, I cherished each other and was determined to serve the country and the people, so I became brothers, and then I was forced to quit and go with the flow for the sake of the entire Zhu family!

Speaking of this, Zhu Bocai seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly looked at Zhao Bufan.

"Extraordinary, do you know that when Zhao Xueling was born, your master had a difficult birth and almost died, why wasn't your master there?"

"This ......" Zhao Bufan didn't know the details, and he really didn't know how to answer at the moment.

On the contrary, Zhu Bocai took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and continued: "You are the person who made your master have no skills, and you couldn't even go home with your wife's dystocia!"

"Me?" Zhao Bufan was so shocked that his head exploded with a "buzz", and he was in a mess, still refusing to believe it. "How could it be for me, the master took me as an apprentice when I was a beggar in Tokyo! My adoptive parents were just ordinary people in the village, and I didn't go to Tokyo to beg until the plague broke out in the village and they died, even though I can't remember the exact time now, but I was several years old at that time!"

Zhu Bocai shouted and asked, "Then how were you sent to your adoptive parents' house?"

"This ......" Zhao Bufan was shocked.

Zhu Bocai took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, looked into Zhao Bufan's eyes, and paused word by word: "Your original name is not Zhao Bufan at all, you are the second prince Zhao Ta who should have been the crown prince, and the king of Gong Zhao Ta who died soon after birth!"

"What?"

Zhao Bufan was so stimulated that he almost blurted out.

"Dusk Jun Zhao Ji is my father?"

Zhu Bocai was stunned for a moment when he heard the word faint gentleman, but thinking about Zhao Bufan's original identity, he didn't accuse too much, after all, the words had already been spoken, so Zhao Bufan's current attitude towards Zhao Ji was only a family matter of the Zhao family, and he had no right to speak.

Zhao Bufan looked at Zhu Bocai with a determined expression, he couldn't believe all this, this was too difficult for him to accept, and immediately asked urgently: "Father-in-law, what happened back then? Could it be a mistake? How can I be the prince?"
