Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Zhang Dong raised his head and kicked the roof, trying not to let the tears in his eyes fall. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "My sister was killed by the strict government."

"Do you have any evidence?"

Zhang Dong sat up suddenly and stared at Guo Heng fiercely, "I didn't go to the government to sue him because I had no evidence! Yan Fu, the running dog of the Yan family, told me that my sister died in childbirth. I don’t believe it! After my sister gave birth, I secretly went to see her. Although she was weak, she was very happy because she had a son and said that I became an uncle. Unexpectedly, I did not expect to wait until the next day. The Yan Mansion came to report to my family, saying that my sister was gone. I didn’t believe it at all, and wanted to see my sister, but they didn’t even let me enter the gate of the Yan Mansion!”

Zhang Dong's chest heaved violently, and tears had already flowed all over his face.

He raised his arm and wiped his face with his sleeve indifferently, and continued: "The Yan family gave my father and mother 100 taels of silver. My parents were afraid that they would embarrass me, so they tried their best to persuade me to just let it go, saying that the Zhang family still paid me 100 taels of silver. There is me, only me. I, I am not reconciled! Why, my sister’s life is gone. In their eyes, is my sister worth [-] taels of silver? I ran out and wanted to sneak into the Yan Mansion to find evidence, but I was arrested by Yan Chengcai and locked me in the dungeon."

At this time, Guo Heng fully understood that Zhang Dong's sister was the child's biological mother.

He restrained the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Have you found any evidence?"

"I didn't find any evidence, but I found something very strange. The servants who served my sister had disappeared, and the child my sister gave birth to turned from a boy to a girl. I was very strange and wanted to go to Ask that nanny, and Yan Chengcai arrested her. Now I believe even more that my sister's death was not an accident, but that Yan Zheng didn't want her to live."

"How do you know that he secretly replaced the prince?"

"I thought about it during the few days I was imprisoned. Just a few days after my sister died, the emperor announced that he was happy with the prince and gave amnesty to the world. I saw with my own eyes that the child my sister gave birth to was a boy, but now the one in Yan's mansion is a boy." Girl, where did that boy go? Yan Zheng is so old, and only Yan Chengcai has a son. It is impossible not to want a son. His son disappeared. There is only one explanation. He sent his son away. Where did he go? In the palace, of course."

Zhang Dong suddenly sneered, "The queen is also incompetent. She finally gave birth to a child, a daughter. I think, even if she doesn't want to, she can only agree to her father's request!"

Guo Heng had to admit that what Zhang Dong thought was similar to what he and Xu Chengze speculated.It's just that it's not easy for him to think of so many things at such a young age.

He stood up and said: "This matter is of great importance, and it is not something you can solve. You are here to recuperate well, don't think about it anymore

"

Zhang Dong stopped crying and looked at Guo Heng anxiously, "Your Majesty, will you punish the crime of strict governance and avenge my sister?"

Guo Heng patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said: "Of course. I am the emperor, how can I tolerate Yan Zheng's misconduct?" "However, Yan Zheng has been mischievous for a long time, and it may not be that you will do anything to him."

Guo Heng squeezed the hand on his shoulder, and walked out without saying a word.

Zhang Dong looked at the back of Guo Heng leaving, and suddenly pinched his thigh hard, I, I was talking to the emperor just now?The emperor can actually listen to me, a commoner?

God!This is where?Isn't it just an inconspicuous small yard?

Guo Heng walked out of the house, Xu Chengze was waiting for him in the yard.He carefully checked Guo Heng's expression, his face was pale and there was no clue.

He took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to return to the palace."

Guo Heng pinched the base of his nose and saw that the sky had completely darkened. He knew that he couldn't stay for long, but he felt uncomfortable.

He took Xu Chengze's hand and said softly: "Xiao Ze, will you accompany me back to the palace?"

Xu Chengze blushed and wanted to pull out his hand. Although he was the only one waiting for Guo Heng outside the door, he knew that Yi Na, A Lian and Shui Yun were all waiting in secret.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Guo Heng held his hand tightly, "Xiao Ze, I don't want to be alone."

Seeing Guo Heng's rare expression of fragility, Xu Chengze secretly sighed, "Okay."

On the way back to the palace, Guo Heng didn't say anything, Xu Chengze knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't speak, but just held his hand and quietly accompanied him.

Back in the palace, Shuiyun immediately had someone wait on the emperor and Xu Chengze to bathe and change their clothes. They both cleaned up cleanly before sitting down.

Come for dinner.

Guo Heng put a bowl of soup in front of Xu Chengze himself, apologetic.

"I'm really sorry to let you eat at this time."

Xu Chengze said softly: "If the emperor speaks like this, isn't he trying to offend the humble minister?"

Said, looking up at Guo Heng, Guo Heng could see the playfulness and sincerity in his eyes, and his mood after being depressed for so long eased a lot. "Forget it, you two are welcome, let's have a good meal!"

Xu Chengze nodded with a smile.

In order not to affect Guo Heng's mood while eating, Xu Chengze didn't ask him about the chat with Zhang Dong. He didn't ask until after the meal, when the tea was served on the water cloud, "Your Majesty, what did Zhang Dong tell you?"

Guo Heng's mood has completely calmed down, and he said lightly: "Zhang Dong is the younger brother of Yan Zheng's Fourth Aunt, and his words have confirmed our confidence.

guess. "

With just one sentence, Xu Chengze understood.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to bring that child back."

"present,,

This is exactly what Guo Heng thinks, he wants to deal with Yan Zheng, that child is in the Yan Mansion, he will be afraid of throwing a mouse, and he will be tied up.

Xu Chengze immediately stood up and said, "I'll go back to the mansion right away, and let Senior Brother Yu go to Yan's mansion again."

Guo Heng motioned him to sit down, and said with a faint smile: "Xiao Ze, do you look down on me, the emperor? Are all my guards vegetarian?"

Xu Chengze smiled and shook his head, sat down and said, "Then I won't interfere."

Guo Heng looked at Xu Chengze with fiery eyes, and after a while he lowered his head to pick up the teacup, and said calmly: "Yes, as long as you stay with me well."

In the early morning of the next day, Guo Heng got up and woke up Xu Chengze.

He was very sorry, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ze, please sleep a little longer! I just said that you are sick."

"But……,,

Xu Chengze stood up, revealing his fair shoulders with some red marks on them, Guo Heng's eyes suddenly darkened.

"If you don't listen to me, I will definitely let you get up."

Xu Chengze followed his gaze to look at his shoulder, his face blushed immediately, and he quickly pulled up the quilt, revealing only a pair of eyes.

"Then... the minister obeys the order."

Guo Heng was amused by his actions, and said: "It's time to listen to me, sleep well, and wait for Zhen to come back to accompany you to have breakfast."

"woman.,,

Xu Chengze closed his eyes, then opened them immediately, "Your Majesty, has the little princess been brought back?"

"I brought her out of the Yan Mansion and put her in a secret place. You don't have to worry about it."

"How is the child?"

Guo Heng nodded, "I've seen it. The baby is white and tender, and is very cute. There is a small dimple behind the earlobe, which is exactly the same as the back of my ear. It should be my daughter."

Xu Chengze was relieved now, and lay down again.

Guo Heng left, but Xu Chengze didn't feel sleepy at all.

The child is back, so the queen's place... He rubbed his chin, as if he had a better chance of winning.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sleep anymore, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and got dressed.

"Eunuch Water!"

Shui Yun opened the door curtain and came in, "What orders does Master Xu have?"

"The next official is going to see the queen."

"Ah!" Shui Yun's eyes widened, "Master Xu, you still have to go!"

Xu Chengze was amused by Shuiyun's appearance, "Yes, I still have to go. But this time, you can report to the emperor."

"Oh. Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your understanding."

Shuiyun asked the little eunuch to go to the Jinluan Palace to pass the news, and he personally waited for Xu Chengze to wash up.

"My lord, can you go after breakfast?"

"No, let's eat together when the emperor comes back."

All right!This reason is too good.

Yan Chun didn't expect Xu Chengze to come again. The last time Xu Chengze came, she was frightened by his words, and she managed to

She sneaked over with a stern look, and for a long time after that, she was trembling and had constant nightmares.Because she knew that once Guo Heng had evidence, their Yan clan would be finished.

After waiting for a few days, seeing that Guo Heng hadn't moved, she finally let go of her heart.But the determination in her heart became more and more shaken, not to mention that the emperor had never visited her, not even her own father and elder brother.Could it be that the emperor is determined to punish her, has her father already given up on her?

She thought of a way to threaten Song Guoan with fasting and let her see the emperor and grand master, but she couldn't stand it without eating two meals.

She felt that she was going to collapse, and when she heard that Xu Chengze was coming again, she felt even more anxious.

She didn't know why he came here this time, but she just reminded herself that she must play hard, because after the last confrontation, she knew that Xu Chengze was very difficult to deal with.

When Xu Chengze entered the door, he saw the panic flashing in Yan Chun's eyes.

He smiled faintly, "Empress, I've kept you waiting."

Yan Chun suppressed the panic in his heart, and snorted coldly, "I don't want to see you!"

Xu Chengze nodded, "Actually, I don't want to see you either. It's just that there is something I think you should know."

"what's up?"

"I heard yesterday that Yan Zheng's daughter who was born just over two months ago suddenly disappeared. According to her seniority, she should be the empress's younger sister, right? It's a pity, a pity, it's really heartbreaking to die at such a young age! At this age, the teacher still has to bear the pain of losing his daughter, the emperor loves him so much that he is allowed to rest for three days..."

"Gone?"

Yan Chun only heard these two words, and she didn't listen to what Xu Chengze said afterwards.

In front of her eyes, there seemed to be a child wrapped in swaddling clothes again.With a red face, eyes tightly closed, small hands clenched into small fists, placed beside her face.She slept so soundly, and she was so reluctant to let go, but she didn't dare to hold her and cry, for fear of waking her up.

The child I only glanced at is gone?

Why?Didn't my father promise himself that he would treat her well and let her grow up well?Why is it gone?
