In the study of Zhao's mansion, a needle drop can be heard.

Zhao Bufan's eyes were full of suspicion, staring at Zhu Bocai, waiting for him to give a clear explanation.

It's a pity, Zhu Bocai shook his head lightly, and spoke again with great certainty: "There will be no mistake, you are Zhao Ta Undoubtedly, Zhao Huan and you were born one after another, and there were only a few days apart from each other, and the saint suddenly got two dragon sons at the same time, and there were successors, so he was naturally overjoyed." You also know that the first emperor was the only son who was early in the morning, so that the current saint ascended the throne as the emperor, so the prince was very sensitive at that time, and the palace and the court were very concerned about this matter.

With the successful birth of the two princes, there were successors to the Great Song Dynasty, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also relieved, but they didn't expect this to be both a happy event and a disaster.

At that time, the saint didn't expect so much, immersed in the joy of the birth of the prince, and for a moment of negligence, he didn't consider what serious impact his attitude would cause, but accompanied you all day long, and even hugged the newborn you to the court, so that the minister looked at your face, and said that you look most like him in front of the civil and military officials, causing an uproar. No one in the world knows how a newborn baby can see what it looks like, and it is just polite to say that it looks like it!

This is clearly the Holy One's preference for you!

Soon, inside and outside the palace, the court and the court all thought that the saint loved you more and would make you the prince in the future, and even the people in the market knew the news, which also made this matter reach the ears of the queen at that time, she was also Zhao Huan's biological mother, and your mother was not a queen at that time, just a concubine!

Queen Wang has been frugal and frugal all her life, and has managed the harem in an orderly manner, she can be called a virtuous queen, and has always been praised by people, but she has only done one wrong thing in her life, and that is to harm you. At that time, due to the negligence of the saint, the heart of preference was fully revealed, and the mother and son of the queen were neglected, so that the queen who had just given birth suffered from depression, coupled with the instigation of the queen's mother's family, the queen who has always been virtuous was confused for a while, so she planned to put you to death, and even coerced the eight guards who guarded you, so that they turned a blind eye and regarded nothing as if they didn't know anything.

It's a pity that Queen Wang didn't know that although the eight guards succumbed to her, they were people who had followed your master, so she told your master about it in advance. Your master had admired your mother in his early years, and he was upright and loyal to the monarch and patriotic, so he naturally couldn't bear to see you die in vain, but he was powerless to prevent this from happening at that time, so he ......"

Hearing this, Zhao Bufan was extremely puzzled, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Why can't you stop it? Why don't you tell the Holy Lord?"

Zhu Bocai looked at him, took a deep breath and said: "Although Queen Wang is sorry for you, she was originally a virtuous person, there are many people in the court who support her, and the power of her relatives is also very large, and the saint has just ascended the throne at that time, and he has not been able to grasp the real power at all.

In fact, long before the saint ascended the throne, many ministers felt that the saint was frivolous, obsessed with qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, wind and snow, and thought that he should not ascend the throne, and advocated that the king of Jian, Zhao Si or Shenwang Zhao Yan, should be the emperor, and it was the queen's maiden family and the empress dowager who worked hard to make the saint finally ascend the throne. In that case, if the queen's intentions are exposed, what will be the consequences? Not only will it lead to unrest in the royal family, but even the holy throne will be unstable, and the court may fall apart at any time, if it were you, what would you do?"

Zhao Bufan didn't expect that the matter would be so complicated back then, and when he heard Zhu Bocai's explanation at this moment, he immediately shook his head: "What does my father-in-law mean is that the master secretly saved me later, but he didn't tell anyone and concealed it?"

"Not bad!" Zhu Bocai nodded, and continued: "After your master carefully weighed it, for the sake of the overall situation, he knew that this matter could not be made public, not even your own mother could say it, not to mention such a big matter, even if he was exposed by an outsider, how could his family still be saved? How could the Empress Dowager Xiang spare him? As a minister, the most taboo thing is to get involved in the harem!

After that, you were secretly fed medicine at night, causing a continuous fever, they intended to let you continue to have a high fever and die, your master had already found out their plot, so lurking in your palace, waiting for them to feed the medicine, immediately took you out of the palace for first aid, and also found a baby who also died of fever to change you, at that time you were just a few days old, the appearance could not be distinguished, not to mention the dead baby could not be distinguished.

The next day, the Holy One was shocked to hear that you had died of a fever, and was so grief-stricken that he was about to kill the palace maids who were responsible for taking care of you, but he didn't think that those palace maids had already committed suicide under duress, and the imperial doctor did not find any flaws after examining the corpse, and at the same time believed that the baby died of a persistent high fever. As we all know, babies are the weakest when they are born, and if they are not taken care of properly, they will be in danger of life, not to mention persistent high fever, so no one doubts it.

Subsequently, your master pretended not to know, and was personally responsible for the burial, because the mausoleum was not prepared, the body was temporarily put into the ice coffin, permanently sealed, and was not really buried until the construction of the mausoleum was completed, so your master was running around to rescue you, so he couldn't go home, and even his sister-in-law didn't know about dystocia.

Later, when your master came home, he was very happy to learn that he had a daughter, and he felt sorry for his sister-in-law.

It's a pity that he never expected that after ascending the throne, the saint was still obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just to collect strange stones to enjoy, and for a hobby, he could not hesitate to work and lose money, which was completely the habit of the original merry prince.

Your master was so angry that he sighed all day long, so he snubbed his sister-in-law, until one day, the saint invited your master to play together, bow in the palace, and admire the stones.

I was also present at the time, watching them quarrel fiercely, if this situation was changed to when the saint was still the prince, the relationship between the two would naturally be nothing, but the saint had already ascended the throne and was already a powerful emperor, and he couldn't accept the reprimands of others.

The originally good relationship between the two broke down that day, and the saint was probably also confused, so he said on the spot, I kindly asked you to play together, but you accused me of being a faint king, accusing me of being a plaything, and if you dare to say more in the future, I will kill you!

I was so shocked that I didn't dare to make a sound, and I saw that your master was so angry that he walked away, but after he left, the saint also regretted it a little, and immediately asked me to be a peacemaker, of course I had nothing to say, and hurried to his house, but I saw that he was arguing with his sister-in-law, and it was only because I arrived that they quickly fell silent. I thought I would calm both of them down, so I invited your master to my house for a drink, and left him to sleep for the night. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Bocai's face was full of remorse, he slapped his palm on the table, and blamed himself angrily: "If you hadn't relayed it today, I really didn't know that the eldest brother would have reprimanded the eldest sister-in-law with the righteousness of the family and the country, what would this have to make the eldest sister-in-law sad? If the eldest sister-in-law had turned his back on Xixia for him, wouldn't this be a knife in his heart? If I had known that it was like that at that time, I would not have let my eldest brother stay with me, and I would definitely force him to go back and apologize!"

Zhao Bufan sighed when he heard this, and shook his head bitterly: "Did the senior lady leave with Xue Ling the next day?"

"Hey!" Zhu Bocai regretted not being at the beginning, gritted his teeth and said: "The eldest brother didn't come back overnight, and the sister-in-law left early the next morning, the eldest brother was very anxious when he knew, and he was going to chase it immediately, but he didn't think that the holy decree suddenly came, and the saint not only crowned his title, but also agreed to him to send an envoy to Dali according to his earlier recital.

The eldest brother cares about the world, and he must follow the order, so he asked me to chase the sister-in-law on his behalf, and told me that if I can't catch up, then the sister-in-law will only go to two places, one is to go back to Xixia, and the other is to go to the sea of flowers when they first met. If I go back to Xixia, let me give up and let my sister-in-law go back to her parents' house, if it is in the sea of flowers, let me be sure to try to take my sister-in-law home!"

Zhao Bufan was very puzzled when he heard this: "If that's the case, then the father-in-law should be able to find the master in the sea of flowers, how can he find out what happened later?"

Hearing this questioning, Zhu Bocai's eyes moistened again, and he lowered his head guiltily: "I went, and I also saw my sister-in-law, but the sister-in-law at that time was angry, and saw that it was me who went over, without saying a word, I tried hard to persuade but made her angry, she scolded directly at that time, saying that the eldest brother only has the righteousness of the family and the country in his heart, and there is no place for her at all, and asked me to pass the word to the eldest brother, saying that if the eldest brother still cares about her and Xiao Xueling, then go back to Xixia with her to live in seclusion!"

In an instant, Zhao Bufan fully understood, feeling deeply unworthy for the master, and his tone was also a little suppressed anger.

"Father-in-law, did you hide this later?"

"I'm sorry for my eldest brother, I'm sorry for my sister-in-law, it's all my fault, I didn't think it through at that time!"

Zhu Bocai once again left tears of remorse, choked up and continued: "I was blown away by my sister-in-law, and the money I gave her was thrown into the river, forcing me to return to Tokyo, but I know very well how much my eldest brother cares about my sister-in-law and Xiao Xueling, and I am afraid that he will follow his mother to Xixia, so I later told him that my sister-in-law is not in the sea of flowers!"

Zhao Bufan's face was full of bitterness when he heard it, and he almost couldn't hold back his scolding, but Zhu Bocai was his father-in-law after all, not to mention that it was already very painful now, so he opened his mouth several times, but he swallowed it back after all, and finally just sighed heavily.

"Father-in-law, you were so confused back then! You did this, but you made the master's family of three miserable!"

"I know! I know it's my fault! I'm sorry for my eldest brother's family! I'm sorry for their trust in me!" Zhu Bocai, who had gone through the ups and downs, couldn't cry silently, and that kind of remorse made him not care about whether he had lost his temper and whether he had lost face in front of Zhao Bufan, a junior, and he cried like a child when he was over half a hundred years old.

For a long, long time, there was only Zhu Bocai's painful cry in the room.

Suddenly, the door was opened, and Zhu Lian rushed in with sobs and ran over to help him.

"Dad, don't cry, it's not entirely your fault!"

Zhu Bocai sat on the Taishi chair, covering his face deeply, not daring to look up at Zhu Lian.

Zhu Lian was distressed, she had never seen her father cry like this since she was a child, even when she was the most dangerous, difficult, and desperate, in her heart, Zhu Bocai seemed to always be so tall and majestic, and at this moment this helpless crying appearance made her choke uncontrollably.

"Dad, please, don't be like this, don't be sad, let's make up for Sister Xueling in the future, okay?"

Zhao Bufan stepped forward slowly and gently pulled Zhu Lian away, he knew that Zhu Lian couldn't understand some deep emotions in a man's heart, Zhu Bocai, a person who has been in power for half his life, is so strong-willed, and the emotions that can make him out of control are not useful for persuasion at all, so all he needs now is to vent, it is self-regulation.

"Lian'er, go out! you're only putting pressure on your father-in-law here!"

Zhu Lian looked at Zhao Bufan, nodded obediently, endured the distress and walked out of the house, and closed the door again.

After a while, Zhu Bocai really put down his hand, and said with red eyes: "Thank you!"

"Hey!"

Zhao Bufan let out a long sigh, turned around and walked to the copper basin, took down a towel and handed it to Zhu Bocai, and said softly: "According to what my father-in-law just said, plus what I know from Xue Ling, then the master should have completely broken with the saint later, why didn't my father-in-law remedy it at that time?"

At this time, Zhu Bocai had gradually calmed down, his eyes were stunned, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

"At that time, I was already ordered to be transferred to Guangnan East Road, in Guangzhou, and when I heard the news and rushed back, everything had already happened, and your master had completely disappeared, and most people thought he was dead at that time, and I was no exception. After that, I went to the sea of flowers, but I had no shame to face my sister-in-law, I didn't dare to show up, I was afraid to see her, because I was afraid that she would ask me what I said!

When I saw that they were living a fairly peaceful life, I returned to Guangzhou, and since then I have been going there every year, until the two of them suddenly disappeared one day, I was panicked to look for it, and since then I have never stopped inquiring, and when I become the secretary of the imperial city, I often pay attention to it, but there has been no news, until just now, I learned from you that the Xue Ling under Tong Guan is Zhao Xueling back then!"

Zhao Bufan thought about it and couldn't help asking: "Xue Ling's martial arts were passed on to her by her master, didn't your father-in-law see it?"

Zhu Bocai glanced at him and shook his head helplessly: "Your master has never used martial arts in front of me, and I don't even know that she knows martial arts, how do I know what her martial arts are? In fact, I learned that your master did not die back then, and it took nearly two years to find out, and the same is true of the secrets that happened in the palace back then. ”

Zhao Bufan frowned: "What does my father-in-law mean is that when the master master protected me, you didn't know that you found out about my background before you decided to marry Lian'er to me?"

Zhu Bocai didn't seem to intend to hide it, and nodded calmly: "Not bad!"

Zhao Bufan faintly understood, and understood why Zhu Bocai suddenly married Zhu Lian to him.

"How did my father-in-law find out?"

"Do you remember Su Yu, he said that he once had a relationship with you in the Dragon King Temple in the Daimyo's Mansion!"
