Chapter 243: Don't let it go
Entering the Funing Palace, Hua Fengshan put down the medicine box, knelt down and saluted the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and said solemnly in his mouth: "Grass people Hua Fengshan, knock to see the emperor!"
Haoxing Xiaoqi hurriedly said softly: "Flatten!"
"Your Majesty!" Hua Fengshan bowed again, and then stood up.
Haoxing Xiaoqi waved his hand casually, and all the palace people in the hall withdrew from the hall.
Zheng Yong glanced at the emperor's face, rolled his eyes, and quietly retreated.
Haoxing Xiaoqi smiled at Hua Fengshan and beckoned: "Fengshan, come to me." β
Hua Fengshan picked up the medicine box again, walked to the emperor's side, bowed down and said, "Your Majestyβ"
"Eh-" Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help frowning slightly, interrupting him, "Now that there are only you and me, father and son here, you don't have to be formal!"
Hua Fengshan hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth and called: "Father!"
Haoxing Xiaoqi nodded with satisfaction, and raised his hand to signal him to put down the medicine box.
Hua Fengshan hurriedly said: "Father, if you want to apply needles, please move the inner hall." β
"No hurry, no hurry. Haoxing Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Fengshan, you haven't entered the palace for a long time, and my father is very worried about it. I called you here today just to ask how you're doing. β
Regarding the emperor's words in a loving father's tone, Hua Fengshan only replied with a dry "yes", put the medicine box aside, and stood solemnly.
Seeing that Hua Fengshan showed in front of him, he was still in the same state of alienation, and Haoxing Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief with a little satisfaction.
It turned out that he summoned Hua Fengshan into the palace this time, but it was because he was already suspicious of his son.
And all this, naturally, is because of that cold ice.
At the beginning, when Duan Huairen, the former prefect of Wuzhou, recommended Hua Fengshan to treat the eye disease of the Queen Mother, he revealed Hua Fengshan's true identity to the emperor.
Haoxing Xiaoqi was pleasantly surprised, of course, he also secretly sent someone to carefully check the matter.
It's just that after the matter was verified, although his majesty the emperor wanted to recognize his son, Hua Fengshan did not want to recognize his father.
As a result, after curing the queen mother's eye disease, Hua Fengshan insisted on leaving, and the emperor couldn't keep it, so he had to watch this newly recovered son stay away.
However, to Haoxing Xiaoqi's relief, six years later, Huafengshan returned to Jingyang.
At this time, Hua Fengshan had already started a family, and he was no longer young and vigorous, and he was finally willing to recognize him as his father.
It's just that due to the etiquette, although Haoxing Xiaoqi is the son of heaven, he can't let Huafengshan re-enter the genealogy. But Huafengshan was not greedy for these, and only reluctantly accepted the big mansion next to the palace that the emperor rewarded, which is now Huafu.
Since then, although the relationship between their father and son has remained estranged, it has been regarded as a father and son after all. Moreover, Haoxing Xiaoqi can also often use the excuse of diagnosis to summon Hua Fengshan into the palace to meet.
But it is precisely because of all the estrangements and obstacles between each other that Haoxing Xiaoqi has never met Hua Fengshan's family, and Hua Fengshan has never taken the initiative to mention his family affairs to his father.
It wasn't until a few years after Mrs. Hua passed away that Haoxing Xiaoqi heard Hua Fengshan say that he also had a daughter who had been sent back to his hometown in Wuzhou.
As for the cold ice, Haoxing Xiaoqi only heard Hua Fengshan mention it for the first time after this New Year. said that his daughter Xiangjun was accompanied by his nephew Han Bing, and he would arrive in Jingyang in a few days.
At that time, Hua Fengshan did mention a few words to Hao Xingxiao about this cold life experience.
Many years ago, Hua Fengshan rescued a woman abandoned by her husband's family on the road, because she saw that she was lonely and pregnant, so he took her in and recognized her as a brother and sister with a different surname. Later, he sent the woman to her hometown in Wuzhou, but she died of illness shortly after giving birth to Han Bing.
Haoxing Xiaoqi listened, except for some unpleasant feelings in his heart, he did not have any doubts about Hua Fengshan's words. Because he guessed that the reason why Hua Fengshan would sympathize with and take in that woman must be because of the similarities between her experience and his own mother.
So he didn't take that cold ice to heart, thinking that he was just an orphan raised by Huafeng Mountain.
Although many unexpected things happened around this cold ice later, Haoxing Xiaoqi never paid much attention to him, and still only regarded him as a willful swinger who acted willfully because of his lack of discipline.
It wasn't until he learned that Han Bing was actually the heir of the Qiankun Key that Haoxing Xiaoqi realized that he had underestimated this cunning teenager too much.
And in the end, what really made His Majesty the Emperor completely sober up was the words of Zheng Yong's old eunuch - all this was planned by Han Bing in advance!
It's really a word to wake up a dreamer!
Thinking back to all the things that have happened since Han Bing entered Beijing, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but secretly blame himself for being too careless, and he never realized that there was such a terrible enemy lurking around him!
Yes, this cold ice is indeed his Haoxing Xiaoqi's biggest enemy!
This young man is a hermit, so behind him, there must be a hermit force. And their purpose is to seize the Haoxing clan!
The most terrifying thing is that they almost succeeded!
Han Bing, this hidden evil man, was stirring up a storm under the nose of His Majesty the Emperor, but he was unaware of it.
It's just because he hasn't seen through the true identity of this young man!
Now tracing back to the source, the problem should lie with Huafengshan.
He, the father emperor, really cared too much about this lost son, and he didn't notice the conspiracies and secrets hidden behind this son.
Lin Fangyin's hermit identity, the hermit characteristics of Han Bing when he was born, and the origin of Han Bing's martial arts, does Hua Fengshan really know nothing about these?
Or is he simply an accomplice of Ice?
Ever since he knew that Han Bing was a hermit, these suspicions had been entrenched in Haoxing Xiaoqi's heart like a poisonous snake, making him feel more frightened and angry at the same time!
So after just sending away Zuo Xiang's cold clothes, he finally couldn't help but order someone to call Hua Fengshan too.
From the moment Hua Fengshan entered the hall, Haoxing Xiaoqi was carefully observing his every expression and movement, wanting to see some abnormal performances from it.
Because according to his guess, if Hua Fengshan really participated in this conspiracy, then he would definitely pay special attention to the movements of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he must have heard about Leng Shiyu's stay in the palace a long time ago, and even knew about his abnormal move of urgently summoning Zuo Xiang into the palace early in the morning.
Then, if he summons him into the palace now, his heart will inevitably be suspicious, and it will inevitably reveal some clues in his behavior.
But Haoxing Xiaoqi looked at it, Hua Fengshan was still consistently restrained and silent, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Although these alone still couldn't relieve his suspicions, Haoxing Xiaoqi's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of relief.
Perhaps, Hua Fengshan has also been kept in the dark, and he did not intend to go against his father.
As soon as he thought of this, he didn't care about Hua Fengshan's alienation, and asked very kindly: "Fengshan, your birthday is coming soon, right?"
Hua Fengshan listened, and couldn't help but nod with a gloomy expression.
His mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to him, so his birthday was also his mother's birthday.
Haoxing Xiaoqi certainly understands the reason for this, in fact, he can be said to be the initiator of this tragedy. But he was already interrogating at the moment, so he continued the topic without knowing it.
"In previous years, you had to go back to Wuzhou at this time, but this year you have to go back as usual?"
Hua Fengshan shook his head and said: "In previous years, I went back mainly to visit Xiang'er, but now that Xiang'er and they have all come to the capital, there is no need to go back." β
"Oh-" Hao Xingxiao paused, and asked casually, "It turns out that you went back to see Xiang'er in previous years." What about Han Bing? Wasn't he in Wuzhou at the time?"
Hua Fengshan finally understood the emperor's true intentions at this time.
It seems that the emperor has begun to doubt the origin of Han Bing, and even began to suspect that he has concealed the true origin of Han Bing from him.
Fortunately, for these situations, Haoxing Mingrui had already considered them at the beginning, and had already taught him a set of self-justifying rhetoric.
So, he replied unhurriedly: "Han Bing has not been in Wuzhou all those years, and I heard that he traveled around with his master. It wasn't until last year that he suddenly returned to Wuzhou, and it happened that Xiang'er wanted to come to the capital to see me, so he asked him to accompany him. β
"So, before he came to Jingyang, you had never seen this cold ice?"
Hua Fengshan thought for a while, frowned, and said, "When I sent Xiang'er back to Wuzhou, I saw cold ice once, and I haven't seen it again since." β
"That was more than ten years agoβ"
Haoxing Xiaoqi said a sentence half to himself, and suddenly had a thought in his heart, could this cold ice not be the cold ice of the year?
But he thought about it again, and this was not very likely. Otherwise, how could this cold ice look so similar to Lin Fangyin, so that Hua Fengshan and Leng Yiqing actually misidentified him at the same time?
No, Han Bing must be Lin Fangyin's son, so he must be a hermit.
For this, Leng Yiqing must know it, and Hua Fengshan is difficult to say.
Because no matter whether Hua Fengshan was familiar with Han Bing in the past, at least during his time in the capital, he should not be completely ignorant of what Han Bing did.
Thinking of this, Haoxing Xiaoqi's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and a ruthlessness appeared in his heart.
In any case, for the sake of Dayu's country, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go.
If it is finally proved that Han Bing is indeed a hermit, not only can he not keep his cold clothes, but he will not be able to keep Huafeng Mountain!
Because who can guarantee that Han Bing didn't tell any of them the secret of the underworld?
Moreover, if the cold ice does not appear this time and escapes from now on, it will prove even more that he is a spy of the Yin people.
Then these people who are related to him cannot be let go.
