The emperor and Concubine Zhen distributed boxes of candy on the street. Adults sent fewer children sent more, and what they sent out was sweet rewards and blessings, so they were really easy to make and made a lot of money.

The two of them didn't plan to go back to the palace like this. Zhenfei, who had not had enough fun, pulled the emperor straight to Yingxin Building. It was not that there was no other place to go, but that there was a place in Yingxin Building that only belonged to them on this day. Logically speaking, Emperor Daning was the co-lord of the world and would naturally have some places wherever he wanted. However, Zhenfei liked this and she really loved it.

There is a small courtyard behind Yingxin Building. Chen Leng and Cha Ye lived here for a long time, and even Chen Leng and Cha Ye didn't know that. In fact, there was only one alley away from their yard. Another small courtyard was the secret stronghold of Zhenfei and the emperor.

The layout of this small yard is almost the same as that of Shen Lengcha Ye's yard. The difference is that all the furnishings in the yard were prepared by the emperor for Concubine Zhen over the years. When they entered the door, the people in the welcoming building had already prepared it. The wine and food were brought from the front building and placed on the stone table on the pavilion. Then everyone retreated.

There are swings and seesaws in the yard, but these children's toys are loved by Concubine Zhen. Naturally, she could not show these in front of the palace people, so she had this yard. For Concubine Zhen, this place was her blessed land and cave.

"Two punches?"

Concubine Zhen raised her fist and the emperor snorted: "The defeated general under his command."

A moment later, the emperor looked at Zhenfei with a begging face: "I agreed, don't apply it on my face."

Zhenfei: "You lost."

emperor:"......"

Another quarter of an hour later, the emperor had some rouge powder on his face, which looked pretty good...

At the same time, Western Xinjiang.

Chen Leng sat on the wooden wall of the camp and looked at the distance outside. The black line was not a flood but an army of Anxi people. As expected, Lei Ta, the left wise king of Anxi Kingdom, came with his army. It seemed that the letter Chen Leng wrote to him did not play any role. The 80,000 left guards stopped at least fifteen miles away from the Ningjun camp. They did not take the initiative to attack or send people to negotiate. They seemed to just want the soldiers to stop Chen Leng's army from approaching Wangting City.

"It seems that I don't plan to do it anymore."

Chen Ran handed Chen Leng a carrot, and Chen Leng couldn't help laughing: "It's hard to find chickens recently?"

“Nothing is easy to find.”

Chen Ran sighed and said, "Not mentioning chickens, there is not a single chicken feather."

Chen Leng: "You don't have that thing, why do you want it to be wild?"

Chen Ran reacted for a while and glared coldly: "You are all the generals."

Chen Leng: "There are also generals."

Chen Ran: "..."

Chen Ran looked at the sunset in the distance: "Does it look like we are sitting on the pier outside Yulin Town to watch the sunset?"

Chen Leng nodded: "Like."

At that time, neither of them would have thought that one day they would wear general armor, nor would they have walked all over the four borders of Daning. Think about it, the two young men sat by the river watching the sunset, and felt that Anyang City was very far away. Leaving Yulin Town was a terrible thing. Now it has become a habit to travel around the world.

"Lengzi, have you ever thought about it? Go back and take a look?"

Chen Leng shook his head: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but when I think about facing Meng Chang'an's mother, I don't know what to do."

Chen Ran nodded, really didn't know what to do.

How cruel was Boss Meng to Chen Leng back then? Although Meng Chang'an's mother had never tortured Chen Leng, she didn't think there was anything wrong when Boss Meng tortured Chen Leng. Meng Chang'an treated Leng Zi like a brother, but that couple never thought Leng Zi was their Meng family.

"Meng Changan has never been back."

Chen Ran looked at Chen Leng: "He probably hasn't been able to overcome the hurdle in his heart yet."

Chen Leng nodded: "It's not that easy."

When he was a child, the father in his mind was a hero, an omnipotent person, a prophet, and even a myth. However, at the age of admiration for his father, Meng Changan knew that his father was a water bandit who killed people without blinking. How many villagers and elders and many passers-by merchants died under his father's sword, it was difficult to overcome this kind of hurdle.

How could his mother not know about his father?

But neither Chen Leng nor Chen Ran knew that Meng Chang'an's mother was in Chang'an.

The emperor sent someone to take Meng Chang'an's mother from Yulin Town, Anyang County to Chang'an. He always wanted to ask her in person what happened to her child back then, but for some reason, the emperor had never summoned her, so Meng Chang'an's mother lived in Chang'an City with fear and fear for a day.

She was in the Ministry of Justice. Although she did not live in the prison cell, she was a small courtyard under close supervision. The emperor handed over Meng Chang'an's mother to Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun was waiting for the emperor's orders, but this order had not come for a long time.

Just after eating that bowl of noodles, Ye Liuyun felt that she should meet Meng Chang'an's mother because of the emperor's bowl of noodles and because of the emperor's words that you are my family.

The door of the yard was pushed open, which scared Mrs. Meng, who was sitting in the yard in a daze.

"Mr. Ye."

After seeing it clearly, Mrs. Meng quickly got up and bowed. Ye Liuyun nodded slightly and walked over. Mrs. Meng hurriedly went to make tea. She was scared when she saw Ye Liuyun, and not just saw Ye Liuyun. Everything in Chang'an City scared her.

There were stone tables and stone benches in the yard, and the two of them sat face to face. She didn't dare to sit, but when Ye Liuyun asked her to sit down, she didn't dare to refuse.

"There's one thing you should have been scared for eighteen years."

Ye Liuyun looked at Mrs. Meng: "I have found out that your husband was Baili Tu, a sinful water bandit in Anyang County. No one has pursued you since he died. It is because all the water bandits involved were dead. No one and no evidence to prove that your husband is Baili Tu. How many people can prove this? Mr. Chen, Chen Leng, Chen Chayan, and your son Meng Chang'an, and they will not prove this."

When Mrs. Meng heard the three words Meng Chang'an, her shoulders trembled involuntarily.

"Have you ever thought about it? Why are you dead and you are alive?"

Ye Liuyun asked again, and Mrs. Meng shook her head, her face pale and looked ugly.

"Mr. Chen killed your husband to eliminate harm for the people. I don't believe you don't know that your husband is a water bandit. Even if you didn't kill people together, if you know that if you don't report this article, it would be a serious crime. How can you be considered an accomplice of the water bandit? Mr. Chen could have killed you together, but he didn't, not because you are a woman, but because he doesn't want Meng Chang'an to be an orphan."

Ye Liuyun paused: "As for your husband's affairs later, it was not so difficult to investigate, and no one went to find you. That was because your son was successful. He tried his best to prove himself with his military achievements again and again. While proving himself, he also protected you. Your Majesty liked Meng Chang'an. Someone mentioned that his father was a water bandit, and Your Majesty suppressed this matter. If Meng Chang'an himself was not successful, what if he was a person from Yanta Academy? He still wanted to be a general? There is a saying that I hope you remember that even if he is now the general of the East Xinjiang, his father is a water bandit once it is promoted, his general will still not be able to sit steadily."

"don't want!"

Mrs. Meng stood up suddenly: "Don't touch him!"

"Now you know how to protect him?"

Ye Liuyun sighed softly: "Although my personal relationship with Meng Chang'an is also good, I don't respect you. Your parents did not let him shine, and all his shine does not belong to you."

Mrs. Meng asked in a trembling voice: "What do Lord Ye want to know?"

"I hope you can remember two things before asking you. First, I have not told you what I asked you, nor will I turn over the old accounts in your family again. Just treat it as a transaction. Second, I hope you are honest."

Mrs. Meng took a deep breath: "Please say it by Lord Ye."

"How did Shen Leng pick it up?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

Mrs. Meng's shoulders trembled involuntarily.

"Are you scared?"

Ye Liuyun looked at Mrs. Meng's pale face: "If your husband is not a water bandit, if you are not an accomplice, then how glorious you should be at this moment. Your own son and you picked up the children, are already a general and a great minister. Your family has two generals. This is the supreme honor. Unfortunately, I am afraid that you don't dare to say that you are Meng Chang'an's mother now."

Mrs. Meng's voice became more and more powerful: "In recent years, many people have asked me, and Lord Ye is not the first one."

Ye Liuyun nodded: "I know."

Mrs. Meng was silent for a moment: "It's not a secret. Many people in the village also know that when my son Meng Chang'an was just born, his father asked the Taoist to give him a name. The Taoist asked about the birth date and horoscope and said, "My son's destiny is because his destiny is too rich, so heaven cannot allow him to live to the age of twenty. After the age of twenty, he can soar into the sky. The Taoist said that if he wants to let him survive the disaster before he was twenty, he must adopt a miserable child. The more his life is, the better, and use him to block the evil spirits for Meng Chang'an."

She glanced at Ye Liuyun: "I happened to pick up Lengzi who was still in the snow. What kind of suffering is there? It's better than the pain of being abandoned by my parents."

Ye Liuyun nodded: "When he picked up the child, did he have anything on him?"

"No, there was only a small quilt wrapped around him, and I felt pitiful at that time..."

"Shut up."

Ye Liuyun snorted: "Do you think he is pitiful? A child of almost the same age, can you let Meng Chang'an eat your milk?"

Mrs. Meng lowered her head, her face getting paler and paler.

"I don't have a good impression of you, and I'm reluctant to do it, just because of the two of them."

Ye Liuyun asked: "Is the little quilt covered with children? Is the quilt covered with cotton or brocade?"

"It's brocade!"

Mrs. Meng immediately recalled: "My family is doing silk business, so I can see that the brocade is of great quality. I also told my husband that this child must have been abandoned by famous families. Ordinary families are not allowed to use such things, so I also guessed if it was an illegitimate child from an adult family."

Ye Liuyun let out a long sigh: "That shouldn't be wrong."

He stood up and said, "Live here. If no one comes to you again in the future, I will arrange for you to go back."

"I......"

Mrs. Meng looked at Ye Liuyun: "Mr. Ye, can I see Meng Chang'an?"

"cannot."
