Xu Feng thought Shen Ping would question her. She thought that if Shen Ping asked her, she might make some excuses, but she didn't expect that she would act as if nothing had happened.

For a moment, Xu Feng couldn't figure out what Shen Ping was up to.

It was cold and dark outside, and Hongmei suddenly felt a little scared. She waited for a long time but still didn't see Shen Ping come out.

Fearing that something had happened to her, he couldn't help but shout, "Mrs. Shen, are you okay?"

After listening to Hongmei's words, Shen Ping remembered that Hongmei was still waiting for her outside.

Afraid that Hongmei would come looking for her, Shen Ping quickly said loudly: "I'm fine, I need to stay here for a while, how about this, you go back first! I'll go back by myself later!"

"Well, then I'll go back by myself." It was the tenth day of the first lunar month. There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, and faint moonlight was shining on the ground. The road could be vaguely seen, and Hongmei slowly walked back.

"Xu Feng, do you have something to say to me? There's no one else here, just say it!" Shen Ping looked at Xu Feng with burning eyes.

Xu Feng bit his lip and was silent for a while. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he looked at Shen Ping and said, "Madam Shen, I am actually a girl~"

"I see!" Shen Ping said calmly.

"Why don't you ask me?" Xu Feng looked curious.

Shen Ping smiled: "If you don't tell me, then you have your own difficulties. Why should I force you to do anything?"

The more Shen Ping acted as if she didn't care, the more Xu Feng wanted to tell her. Then, Xu Feng slowly told Shen Ping his secret.

All he knew was that he was an abandoned baby, picked up by an old beggar when he was a child and raised by him.

Ever since he could remember, the old beggar had told him that she was a girl, but he must never let anyone else know.

Because they were afraid that he might be in danger, they all dressed like men.

Xu Feng always kept it in mind, and the old beggar only told him his life story before he died.

The old beggar said that his father was a man in the palace and his mother was a maidservant of the Seventh Lady, because when he picked it up, there was a small note on it.

It was probably written by the person who threw her away, but it didn't clearly state who his father was. Also, she was wearing a jade pendant around her neck at the time, which was also kept.

When the old beggar picked it up, he saw the note and the jade pendant around his neck, and realized that the identity of the little girl was probably not that simple.

The old beggar knew that if this little girl was really thrown out by someone in the palace, just based on the jade pendant, he would know that this girl was of noble origin.

He carefully hid the jade pendant and the note. Later, when the old beggar fell ill and knew that he would not live long, he told her life story and returned the jade pendant and the note to him.

He also told Xu Feng to do everything he could to get close to Lord Xu of Heyang County, saying that he might be able to help her find her biological parents.

After the old beggar died, Xu Feng and his beggar friends arranged for Lord Xu to save him. By chance, he recognized Lord Xu as his godfather. Shen Ping also knew what happened later.

After listening to Xu Feng's words, Shen Ping was basically certain that the Xu Feng in front of her was He Li, the daughter that the current emperor was looking for.

Shen Ping couldn't help but feel excited when she found it without any effort.

This is my trump card, maybe it will come in handy in the future.

"Madam Shen, I heard from my godfather that you are going to the capital to find Brother Shen. How about this, how about you take me with you?" As he said this, Xu Feng fell to his knees with a plop.

"What are you doing? Get up!" Shen Ping stretched out her hand and tried to help Xu Feng up, but Xu Feng kowtowed repeatedly: "Please, Madam Shen, just agree to my request."

"Ugh!"

Shen Ping sighed: "Get up first, if you don't, then we can't discuss this."

"Mrs. Shen, do you agree to it?" Xu Feng stood up and looked at Shen Ping with surprise.

"Do you really have the jade pendant on you?" Shen Ping asked back.

"It's true. If you don't believe me, I'll show you!" As he said that, Xu Feng took out an old cloth bag from his small cloth bag, carefully took out a jade pendant from it, and handed it to Shen Ping.

Shen Ping held the jade pendant under the light and examined it carefully. The jade pendant was crystal clear, and had a rabbit carved on it that looked lifelike.

It reflects a soft green light under the dim light, and it is obvious at first glance that it is of great value.

Shen Ping remembered that Xu Mingchang once told her that in addition to the birthmark on He Li's body, she did have a jade pendant with a jade rabbit carved on it.

Shen Ping couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. It seemed that the person who abandoned Xu Feng was also a kind-hearted person. He abandoned him in a land temple where people worshipped him instead of in the wilderness.

Moreover, seeing that the jade pendant is priceless, he did not take it. It seems that Xu Feng is really a blessed man. Fortunately, he met a good person.

Shen Ping put the jade pendant into the cloth bag and returned it to Xu Feng: "I just saw that there seems to be a birthmark on your left shoulder. Let me see it."

"I don't know about that." Xu Feng shook his head. The old beggar had never told him about it, so he himself didn't know.

However, Xu Feng still turned around, unbuttoned his clothes, and pulled back a corner of his clothes, revealing his left shoulder.

Shen Ping raised the lantern in her hand and looked carefully. Unexpectedly, she found that Xu Feng did have a butterfly birthmark the size of a one-yuan coin on his left shoulder, which looked very lifelike.

It seems that there is no mistake. This must be the princess the emperor is looking for. Shen Ping felt secretly delighted.

"Madam Shen, will you promise to take me to the capital?" Xu Feng said expectantly.

"I do want to, but I just don't know how to convince your godfather." Shen Ping seemed to be thinking about something.

She knew that the emperor had instructed Xu Mingchang to secretly search for his daughter He Li. If Xu Mingchang knew about this, he would definitely not miss this opportunity to make a contribution.

If I didn't make it clear to him, he would definitely not agree to me taking Xu Feng to the capital. If I took him away secretly and then brought him to the emperor to seek credit, the two of us would probably have a grudge.

Shen Ping felt a headache.

"Godmother, how about this? I'll tell godfather and godmother that I want to go to the capital with you." Seeing Shen Ping's embarrassed face, Xu Feng came up with this idea.

"Okay! Then you try it!" Shen Ping nodded: "Okay, I have to go back."

When Shen Ping returned to the side hall, she found that the others had probably gone back to their rooms long ago, and only Xu Mingchang and Dong were still waiting for her.

Seeing her come back, Mrs. Dong breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam Shen, I haven't seen you for so long. I thought you didn't know the way, so I was just about to send someone to look for you."

Shen Ping felt embarrassed: "I have been traveling for a long time, so I have not been eating or drinking properly. I squatted for a long time, and my legs were numb just now, so I stood for a long time."

What Shen Ping said was indeed true. She drank less water during this period and was indeed a little constipated. However, she also had a traumatic experience with toilets. She didn't want to go in at all, let alone defecate.

She still has to stay in the space to solve the problem. Anyway, fertilizer can be made in the space and the air can be purified automatically.
