In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly. By January, the white snow has dissipated and spring has returned to the earth. Flowers sprout stamens, willow sprouts. On this beautiful afternoon, Xiao Yueye was sitting in the pavilion, playing chess with Mr. Zhao. Not far away, Murong Yufeng was taking Mrs. Zhao to look at the small bridge and flowing water happily, and talk about the love between ancestors and grandchildren.
As the chess game was progressing, Mr. Zhao suddenly said, "Ye'er, what are you waiting for?"
Xiao Yueye's hand holding the chess piece paused slightly and glanced at Mr. Zhao, but he was not too surprised. He dropped a piece, ate a dragon, and then said, "Grandpa, why do you ask that?"
Mr. Zhao looked at the chessboard, but he smiled and said: "Grandpa is old, but he is not stupid yet. You and Feng'er are clearly in a hurry to go back, but you stay here, do you think I can't tell? Just take you Regarding grandma, you are eager to take her back for treatment, but you always say it will take some time. Doesn’t this mean that you are waiting for something? I always feel that you are hiding something? "
After the old man finished speaking, he thought about it and decided.
Xiao Yueye knew that Mr. Zhao was definitely not an ordinary person from the moment the old man caught the change in his expression when he mentioned Sister Rourou. Thinking about it, if he was a fool, how could he have given birth to a daughter like Zhao Linger, and how could he have a granddaughter as smart as Murong Yufeng?
Holding up his wife, Xiao Yueye's face looked unhurried and very calm as she looked at the fight that was about to reach a decisive battle. He hesitated and said, "Let Yufeng tell you this matter in person."
The old man asked no more questions.
The fight on the chessboard didn't last long, and Xiao Yueye decided the world with one move. He smiled and said: "Grandpa, I accept the concession. I will win your half son."
The old man said meaningfully: "Winning half a son every time is not a concession!" After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yueye deeply: "Ye'er, are you really just a head catcher?"
Xiao Yueye raised her eyebrows, glanced at Mr. Zhao, and said, "I am a catcher, but not just a catcher. Grandpa, when you go to the capital with us, I will tell you the truth."
Mr. Zhao smiled: "Actually, I don't care who you are. I only care about whether Feng'er will be happy if he follows you."
"I promise you this in the name of my mother."
"Then I can rest assured."
Mrs. Zhao was taken to take a nap by the maid. In Murong Yufeng's room, she finally told Mr. Zhao her life experience.
After listening, as expected, Mr. Zhao opened his mouth and was surprised.
It took him a long time to react and said in disbelief: "Is there such a thing in the world?"
Then, he hugged his granddaughter: "It turns out, Feng'er, you have been so wronged since you were a child. Silly boy, why didn't you tell grandpa! The same goes for your mother. If she had told us back then, maybe things wouldn't be like this. ”
Murong Yufeng smiled bitterly and looked at Xiao Yueye happily: "Grandpa, that's enough. Now, I just want an answer, and I also want to see, what does my biological father look like?"
Mr. Zhao's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he looked at the two of them: "Could it be that when Ling'er was hunted down..."
Murong Yufeng nodded: "According to our guess, it was probably my father's concubine who sent someone to do it."
Mr. Zhao slammed the table, and his eyes were full of fire: "Ling'er, if you didn't hide it from us back then, maybe dad would have thought of this and taken you out of the town. Neither can you, nor can you. ,Why!"
Xiao Yueye patted his back and comforted him: "Grandpa, everything is over. Don't be sad."
Finally recovering from the sadness and shock, Mr. Zhao exhaled and said, "So you plan to wait for the spring hunting time and sneak in to see the emperor?"
Xiao Yueye nodded, but there was a trace of embarrassment between her brows. With their skills, it would be easy for them to sneak into the hunting ground. But in this way, it is inevitable that someone will alert the enemy and allow someone to find out their identities. As far as Xiao Yueye knew, Litang was not like the Murong Dynasty, and several princes coveted the throne. If they knew the identities of the two people, they might send someone to kill them, and then blame the leader of Litang Kingdom, and then force him to abdicate.
People's hearts are sinister, especially when it comes to politics, and Xiao Yueye doesn't dare to take it lightly. In the past, he and Murong Yufeng were two people, and they could still have a chance to escape, but now there are grandparents, and one careless move may lead to catastrophe!
After explaining his concerns to Mr. Zhao, several people began to think deeply.
Murong Yufeng held her chin and said, "How about Xiao Lang and I sneak into the palace at night? With our skills, it is not difficult to avoid those guards."
Xiao Yueye shook her head: "No. It is easy for us to sneak in, but it is difficult to find him. Who knows which room the emperor will sleep in? When we search, we will be easily discovered."
"This doesn't work, what should I do?" Murong Yufeng felt a little frustrated and her tone became decadent.
At this time, Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up and he said, "Maybe I can find a way."
"What can we do? Grandpa." The two said in unison.
"Back then, after your mother Feng'er disappeared, a guard led many people and said that the prince wanted to announce our Feng'er to the palace. Although Feng'er disappeared, they still didn't make things difficult for our family. But about ten years ago, maybe , a general once came to our house and said that he was sent by the emperor. After that, every spring hunting, the general would come in person or send people to give us many rewards. I thought maybe we could ask that general for help. "
"Ten years ago?" Xiao Yueye narrowed her eyes, an imperceptible cold light flashed past, and she sneered.
About ten years ago, Murong Yufeng's identity was discovered. Xiao Yueye still doesn't understand what the emperor is thinking? At that time, he firmly held the Zhao family in his hands, just as a tool to control Murong Yufeng.
This emperor is really ruthless.
Murong Yufeng obviously understood this, her body trembled and her eyes dimmed a lot. Although she had always hated her biological father, she still had a glimmer of hope. Now, even this glimmer of hope has disappeared.
In the eyes of the king, I am afraid that Murong Yufeng has never been regarded as a daughter, but as a good tool.
Xiao Yueye hugged her gently, turned to Mr. Zhao and said, "Grandpa, what is that general's name and what does he do?"
"Oh, that general is called Luo Lei. I heard that he is the general manager of the Royal Forest Army, and there is also a general on the right. I didn't ask much about it. He is a good man and often helps us. I think it will be okay to ask him for help this time. It’s a problem.”
Xiao Yueye thought for a while, if General Luo Lei was sent by the emperor, then he must know about Murong Yufeng, or worst of all, Zhao Ling'er. Then, it might be a good idea to ask him for help.
However, before that, he still had to meet the general in person.
In mid-February, spring comes very early and everything comes to life. And the sounds of animals can now be heard in the originally silent royal hunting grounds.
What Xiao Yueye and others were looking forward to, was that the royal guard of honor finally arrived at the palace.
On this day, Xiao Yueye and Murong Yufeng mingled among the crowd and looked at the emperor who was surrounded by everyone from a distance. But there were so many people that I couldn't see clearly. I could only see a gorgeous dragon.
However, Xiao Yueye noticed a person. He was wearing armor and riding a tall horse, guarding the emperor. He looks to be in his forties, strong and has a resolute temperament.
Looking at his position and the armor on his body, Xiao Yueye guessed that this was the General Luo Lei that Mr. Zhao had mentioned.
He is indeed a thunderbolt character, extraordinary.
While Xiao Yueye was sizing him up, the general suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Yueye from afar, making eye contact.
Xiao Yueyue was horrified and hurriedly lowered her face. She didn't expect that the general Luo Lei was so alert!
At that moment of eye contact, he felt that what he saw was not a pair of eyes, but ice, a thick layer of ice that would freeze into ice cubes as soon as you touched it!
Xiao Yueye didn't notice that the general looked thoughtful after he lowered his head.
After the emperor's guard of honor entered the palace, Xiao Yueye took Murong Yufeng home, who was in a daze.
In the next two days, the thunderous general did not come to Zhao's house. Xiao Yueye was not in a hurry. She played chess and drank tea every day, which was quite relaxing. He heard what was said outside. Apparently, in the past two days, the royal family and some of their ministers had been showing off their superb archery and equestrian skills in the hunting ground.
At night, in the royal palace, Li Shou, the leader of Litang Kingdom, was eating snacks. Next to him, General Luo Lei stood quietly.
After Li Shou finished his snack, he clapped his hands and said, "Luo Lei, if you don't take action this year, you will make those people happy!"
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Li Shou stood up, waved his hand and said: "I know your abilities very well, so there is no need to be modest. Tomorrow, send someone to the Zhao family and bring some medicinal materials, gold, silver and jewelry as a reward. Remember, the old rules, See if there is anyone special. If so, bring him to see me."
Luo Lei's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything, he just lowered his head. The same words were repeated every year, and the emperor regarded it as a routine.
"yes."
"I'm tired, go down, and send someone to call Concubine De to serve me."
"yes."…
Zhao family, early morning. Because of the arrival of the young lady and her future uncle, the Zhao family has always been full of vitality and happiness.
Early in the morning, those sweeping the floor and those shopping for groceries were having a great time.
Xiao Yueye and Murong Yufeng also supported the two old people and moved around in the yard.
At this time, Cui'er hurried over and said with a smile: "Master, young lady, uncle, General Luo Lei is here."
