Greetings, Ninth Uncle

But things backfired, the sound from the outside was attenuated by a layer of wood, and it was intermittently introduced into the compartment.

Old Marquis Cheng was dying of illness. He wanted to stand up, but with all his strength, he just raised his head. Old Marquis Cheng's eyes could no longer see clearly, and he could only see a vague figure.

Even if he fell into the clouds, even after so many setbacks, he was still at Tsinghua University, and he carried the dignity of an inner court prince.

Cheng Yuanjing sighed softly, sat next to Old Master Cheng's illness, and said, Master Marquis, I'm here. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can speak bluntly.

In the long and narrow closet surrounded by heavy wooden doors, Cheng Yujin clenched her fingers even tighter. He didn't deny it, he acquiesced in the name Cheng Laohou called him.

He is not the Cheng family, but the prince who has been missing for fifteen years?

Many past events suddenly exploded in Cheng Yujin's mind. No wonder, she felt that the relationship between Cheng Laohou and Cheng Yuanjing was weird before. When Cheng Laohou made a decision, he would look at Cheng Yuanjing with a sense of request. After Cheng Yuanjing nodded, he gave orders in relief; no wonder Cheng The old marquis asked Cheng Yuanjing to inscribe the emperor's birthday; no wonder he was very protective of Cheng Yuanjing and blatantly partial; no wonder Mrs. Cheng was suspicious of Cheng Yuanjing, the little Xue family and Mr. Cheng had been separated for 20 years, and when they came back, they suddenly brought a six Year-old son, Mrs. Cheng always felt that Cheng Yuanjing was not the blood of the Cheng family, but that the little Xue family deliberately calculated the Cheng family.

It really wasn't.

However, the real origin of this child is so big that people dare not even think about it.

Cheng Yujin's thoughts were disturbed, the more confused her mind, the lighter her breathing. She knew that she had caused a big disaster today. It was a big deal for the prince to disappear. The whole dynasty searched for fifteen years. However, the prince has been raised in the capital above all else. Cheng Yujin didn't dare to think about whether the emperor knew about this, but it was certain that neither the queen nor Yang Shoufu knew about it.

Old Marquis Cheng kept it a secret for more than ten years. He couldn't even believe his son and wife. Now that he was smashed by Cheng Yujin, would Old Marquis Cheng forgive her lightly? Even if Old Marquis Cheng is willing, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not allow it.

Cheng Yujin covered her mouth and nose harder and harder, breathing lightly, almost closing her breath. At this time, the house was filled with agarwood, and the sun shone through the panes slowly and heavily.

Old Marquis Cheng's voice was also old and hoarse: His Royal Highness, the old minister knows that his time is short. The old minister does not have to devote himself to farming and mulberry in this life, and he does not have to rush to make a living. Yu Jiaguo did not contribute, but it was considered a smooth life, and there is no regret. Xue Lan waited underground for so long, and I am afraid she is tired of waiting. The old minister has no more worries, but there are only two things that he can't let go of. One is Cheng My children and grandchildren are incompetent, and the other thing is you, Your Highness.

His Royal Highness has been living in the people for fifteen years. The old minister was fortunate enough to meet His Highness, but it is a lifelong regret that he could not see His Highness's main eastern palace and board the great treasure during his lifetime.

In this passage, Old Marquis Cheng said intermittently, and he had to stop for a while before he could continue speaking. Cheng Yuanjing always waited patiently. He listened to the words of Old Marquis Cheng, and his eyes swept across the golden shòu incense burner.

The heavy gilt-bronze incense burner was placed beside a window, and the smoke above it was shaking. There is no wind in the house, why does the smoke sway?

Cheng Yuanjing's eyes fell lightly on the closet, and then swept over inadvertently. Old Marquis Cheng was ignorant of these. He seemed to fall into memory, slowly repeating the eighth year of Jianwu, the disappearance of the crown prince that shocked the government and the opposition.

His Royal Highness is the direct son of the middle palace, but he was born with many troubles and was framed by the Jian people. The Yang family has always been reluctant to let His Majesty make the original concubine as the queen. Respect Princess Zhong as the queen. I didn't expect the Yang family to be so courageous. They were unwilling to give up when the empress was pregnant. They almost caused the empress to miscarry, and also caused her highness to give birth prematurely. She was weak since she was a child. The queen mother was born in May as her highness. The reason why I was destined to not be able to support my life, I proposed several times to appoint another crown prince. The emperor refused. After Queen Zhong passed away, he took you by his side and took care of everything personally for three years. Seeing that His Royal Highness is getting better and better, five When you were young, you suddenly fell ill, and the imperial physicians were helpless, and the emperor couldn't, so he had to reluctantly send you to the Taoist temple.

The emperor originally wanted to send His Highness to the mountains to recuperate, and to avoid the Yang family's edge. Unexpectedly, not long after, the news that Qingxuan Temple was destroyed by the mountain torrent was suddenly sent from outside the city. His Majesty lost his temper on the spot and quickly dispatched the Guards. I went to search the mountains, but I searched for three months and found nothing.

In the Taoist temple, no one was spared. The court was shocked by this case, and the emperor even stopped the court for half a month, looking for the news of His Highness. Seeing the attitude of the Emperor, no one inside or outside the capital dared to say that His Highness had been murdered. Just in the name of disappearance, I will look for it slowly. Old Marquis Cheng recalled this and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, At that time, the minister was very shocked when he heard the news, and he also sent his servants to support the court. It's a pity. I didn't expect that the fate of the world would be so ingenious, and His Highness was picked up by Xue Lan inadvertently.

Cheng Yuanjing's expression softened when he mentioned his former adoptive mother. He was betrayed by others in his life, but Xiao Xue gave him a place of peace, taught him to read and write, and taught him to start over. The significance of Cheng Laohou to Cheng Yuanjing is far less than that of Xiao Xue's. Cheng Yuanjing's respect for Cheng Laohou now is also largely due to Xiao Xue's face.
