Cangshangshu of the Criminal Department entered the palace at that time, reported the incident to the emperor, and asked the emperor to allow mercy to the relatives of those palace maids who died unjustly.

The emperor thought about it for a long time, and felt distressed about spending this seemingly unrewarded expense. Because of Lord Cang's strong explanation and request, the emperor finally agreed to Lord Cang's request, because he also wanted ordinary people to feel his imperial grace.

The next day, the emperor instructed the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household to jointly issue a list and announce the world, so that the relatives of those who died unjustly to the palace maids could receive the pension prepared by the royal family.

It's good now, those relatives and friends who unjustly killed the palace maid were originally among the local officials who were searched and arrested, and were sent to the capital by the local officials, and now they all became guests of the palace.

From the date of the announcement, Tao Ziyun asked for leave when he was in peace, drove a carriage, and waited for Yuan Luoying's father and mother they were looking for at the necessary place to enter and exit the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households.

Under Tao Ziyun's careful attention, although he didn't see her mother who looked exactly like Yuan Luoying, she also saw a middle-aged and elderly man who entered the palace alone, Tao Ziyun and Chang lost no time in meeting her.

Chang took the lead in accosting the man and said, "Little one vaguely remembers, you are Yuan Luoying's father, right?"

The man looked at Chang Li, who was wearing an official uniform, and replied respectfully: "Don't dare, grass people Yuan Shangcao, how do adults know about Yuan Luoying?"

Chang suppressed the excitement in his heart, but still said to Yuan Shangcao enthusiastically: "So, you are Yuan Luoying's father? When I was in my hometown, I had a relationship with you, and time has passed, and you and I have forgotten each other." I am now Yuan Luoying's father-in-law, and you are my father-in-law!"

Yuan Shangcao asked in disbelief: "I heard that my daughter had an accident, but you said that it was my son-in-law!

Tao Ziyun hurriedly grabbed Yuan Shangcao and Chang Li's shoulders, and walked straight to the carriage they were rushing to: "Don't be in a hurry to say anything, get in the carriage quickly." Let's discuss it in detail when we go to the house. ”

It's like waking up from a dream: "Yes, yes, yes, don't go to get any pensions, the royal family doesn't know your whereabouts, let them guess!"

Tao Ziyun took the initiative to take on the task of driving the carriage, and often got into the carriage with his father-in-law, talking non-stop.

At the request of Chang Li, Tao Ziyun drove the carriage to Changfu, and Yuan Luoying, who heard the news, hugged and cried with his father.

Chang Li pulled his son who was following Yuan Luoying, and comforted his father-in-law and wife, who were full of joy and sorrow: "Luoying, quickly call your father-in-law to the hall." Just now in the carriage. My father-in-law told me that my mother-in-law is also safe and healthy, this is what we need, this time we get together, don't be separated again, go to the hall to drink some tea, and say something slowly!"

"I don't want to say it slowly, if you want to say it slowly, you are still in such a hurry to bring my father to me? You brought my dad directly. Isn't it just to let me see my relatives faster?" Yuan Luoying said to her father firmly: "Dad, we have already reunited, and my mother!

Yuan Shangcao tried his best to calm down, and he saw the little boy who was often pulling: "This is my nephew!

This is the moment when affection is better than a qiē. They no longer raised objections, and Chang got into the carriage with his father-in-law, wife and children, and Tao Ziyun drove the carriage, under the guidance of Yuan Shangcao. Hurry up and go to find Yuan Luoying's mother and leave.

Tao Ziyun drove the carriage to a busy section of the road, stopped in front of a shop called "Yuan Ma Lantern Shop", and often let them get out of the carriage. Quickly poured into the Yuan Ma lantern shop.

"Mother, we see you're coming!" Yuan Luoying rushed into the shop, and soon found Ma Lili, and the mother and daughter hugged each other excitedly!

Ma Lili was surprised and delighted, she felt like a dream: "It's unbelievable, after you entered the palace, there was no message from you." I just got the news that something happened to you in the palace, but I didn't expect you to come back alive!"

Yuan Shangcao stood aside and introduced Ma Lili and said, "Yes, I also think it's too bizarre, but this scene is indeed real." The daughter was resurrected, married to Chang in her hometown, and had a son. Chang has already won the Jinshi, and now he is the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy. ”

Ma Lili already felt extremely happy, she bent down and picked up her nephew: "Go upstairs, it's too noisy downstairs." ”

Yuan Shangcao took everyone upstairs and introduced them to them: "The outer room on this floor is a shop, selling all kinds of lamps and lanterns made by ourselves, the inner room on the first floor is the place where lamps and lanterns are produced, and the upper floor is the place of living." ”

When they went upstairs to the living room and sat down, the father-in-law brought fragrant tea and snacks to entertain Tao Ziyun and them.

Yuan Luoying didn't care about drinking tea and eating snacks, she told her mother about her experience after entering the palace, and then she said to her mother distressedly: "Mother, after I was recruited into the palace, how did you and your father survive?"

Ma Lili sighed, and she said to her daughter affectionately: "Since you entered the palace, your father and I have come to the capital, rented a small shop, sold some groceries to live, thinking that I would be close to you here, and I would meet you one day." We still want to go into the palace to visit you, but the government won't let us in, and won't let you come out to see us. We had no choice but to tell the government about our new address here, and let them come to us there if they had any business for you. ”

After looking at the new place of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he understood a problem, and said to his mother-in-law: "It turns out that Lord Cang took us to look for you that day, and we went to the small shop you rented when you first arrived!

Ma Lili saw that his son-in-law interjected, nodded to him first to confirm that he guessed correctly, and then continued to say to his daughter: "We are at that new address, and we have not been able to wait for your new news." Later, we found out that Ma Jianzhe, the "Northern Zhe" in "Nanyuan Beizhe", would pass by in front of our small shop with his entourage every once in a while, but fortunately, your father and I were far away from home and cautious, so Ma Jianzhe did not let Ma Jianzhe recognize us. In order to avoid Ma Jianzhe's troublesome character, I discussed with your father - anyway, since you entered the palace, there has been no news, and it is not convenient to see you, nor can you provoke Ma Jianzhe's bad person, and then your father and I moved here. Using the money he earned from selling groceries, he recruited a master who made lamps and lanterns, produced various lamps and lanterns, and opened a shop to sell lamps and lanterns. ”

Yuan Luoying said to Ma Lili ashamedly: "Mother, you and your father have never made lamps before, in order to survive in a foreign land, but you have done something that you are not good at, it is really difficult for you." ”

Ma Lili told his daughter wistfully: "It's not what you said, when you pass by the shop, if you pay attention." You will see that many of the lamps we produce and sell are palace lanterns, which are the kind of lanterns used in the palace. Your father and I thought, if you are a palace maid in the palace, you will have the opportunity to use the palace lamps we made ourselves! Because those palace lamps were bought by the palace people!"

Chang Liao said with emotion: "It turns out that the business that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are doing now still has such a profound meaning!"

Yuan Shangcao, the father-in-law who is always old, happily revealed their thoughts and said: "Our palace lantern is embroidered on the silk with the words 'Yuan Ma Lantern Shop' of our shop. The picture on the silk surface shows that one side is on the prairie, and the petals fall from the branches, implying the meaning of 'falling flowers'. Hinting at our daughter, this is what his parents meant by asking to see her. If my daughter has a chance to leave the palace, she will come to visit us. ”

"On the prairie, 'falling Ying is colorful' - Yuan Luoying. Yuan Luoying understood the deep meaning of her parents, and couldn't help but burst into tears!" These circumstances of the palace lamp were not noted. 'Pity the hearts of parents all over the world', now that my daughter understands her father's kindness, she will definitely repay her father's deep family affection in the future!"

"It's okay now. It doesn't matter if you haven't noticed these situations in the palace lantern, because our wish has been fulfilled, and we finally see our long-lost daughter!" Ma Li felt great relief, and she murmured to her daughter: "At this point in life, all regrets have been erased. ”

Tao Ziyun, who had been listening to it for a long time, saw that the matter of Yuan Luoying's family had been settled, so he calmly said to Chang Li: "Take your father-in-law and mother-in-law to your house! ”

Chang Li and Tao Ziyun continued to discuss: "According to Lord Tao's intentions, is there anything else to pay attention to?"

Tao Ziyun smiled and said calmly: "Of course, there is something to pay attention to, that is, let your father-in-law not go to receive a pension, so as not to be interrogated by the government, anyway, Fei Xiaowolf is not a good person, and the person who killed him can't find out that he deserves it!"

Chang but his face was embarrassed: "If I just do this, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will be suspected of killing Fei Xiaowolf, wouldn't it be better to go out and clarify it to the government?"

Tao Ziyun reminded Chang Chang and said: "Anyway, they don't have evidence, let them guess, if they keep tracking down and find out the real person who killed Fei Xiaowolf, it's not a good thing, you have to be clear, Fei Xiaowolf is a bad person, and it was a good person who killed him!"

Chang Li confidently said to Tao Ziyun: "We are also officials, even if I don't reveal that I am my father-in-law's relative in front of Lord Cang, we will do our best for my father-in-law, he will give us face, and he will not embarrass my father-in-law! We can also make it impossible for Lord Cang to track down the real murderer of Fei Xiaowolf!"

Tao Ziyun said disappreciatively: "More things are better than less things, why bother with all these troubles?"

Yuan Shangcao, the father-in-law who is often old, interjected: "Son-in-law, you don't have to worry, after listening to the experience you talked about with my daughter, the one who killed Fei Xiaowolf should be a good person, in order for that good person not to be traced, I am willing to bear this suspicion!"

Chang looked solemn, and he explained to Tao Ziyun: "If we don't have that ability, this matter will end here, but now our situation is no longer what it used to be, and we can do things perfectly, so that my father-in-law and mother-in-law can raise their eyebrows in the world, why not?"

Tao Ziyun is still arguing with reason: "Don't forget, your wife is a person who has died once, let your father-in-law and mother-in-law raise their eyebrows in the sky, don't make your wife surface, if your wife is exposed to the eyes of the royal family, then there will be a big trouble, she is the palace maid who escaped, and she is a felony." ”

Chang is also a learned person, and he has no intention of going against Tao Ziyun, he explained to Tao Ziyun in a friendly manner: "Luoying is already the wife of the official family, there is no need to show her face, others can't see her if they want to, what do you need to be afraid of? Now everyone has to avoid calling her name, at most call her Yuan, don't worry about her being in danger." ”

Yuan Luoying stopped Chang angrily and said: "Xianggong, don't have any objections, for the sake of Tao Gongzi bringing me back to life, everyone has today's reunion, let's listen to Tao Gongzi! Let me lie dormant in the world, and I will be satisfied." Don't let my parents raise their eyebrows in the sky, just let them lie dormant with me!" (To be continued......)
