It was late at night, and the entire Mian County was quiet.
Huaiqing then carefully dispersed his troops and stared at the village, but they did not dare to get close because the Mian County Party Committee was really strange.
Especially around this village, there are two or three villages. The men in the villages are different from ordinary farmers. They know that they know how to fight. If there is a strange face, they will be stared at and questioned. He will also be worried about the Feng family.
The spies would be discovered. Fortunately, the Feng family also noticed something unusual in Mian County.
As the investigation became clearer and clearer, Huaiqing felt like there was an unknown fire burning in his heart. In the past, he only thought that the concubine was too harsh on the prince, but now it seems that the best things in Prince Yu's palace may be here.
Tonight, no matter how much they find out, they will leave here. This is the girl's order, and then they will bring the news to the prince.
Huaiqing sighed secretly, fortunately, the prince now has a girl from the Zhao family by his side.
…
"Son."
Huaiguang brought a bowl of cheese to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu put down the document in his hand and looked at Huaiguang: "Why do you still have it?"
It has been some time since Mrs. Yang left Taozhou, but the cheese was still delivered on time.
"The old lady ordered it to be cooked by the cook in the army," Huaiguang smiled broadly. "A while ago, you went to patrol the camp and didn't come back. Today, the cook found out and made it right away."
Xiao Yu brought it over and took a sip. It had a light milky aroma, not so sweet, and contained boiled red beans, which was his favorite taste.
Huaiguang smiled with a smile on his face: "There are also baked wild vegetable pancakes. When you are done with your work, they will be delivered together with the food."
Xiao Yu nodded. Although Huaiguang didn't mention Zhao Luoyang, he knew that all this happened because of his little Hui Hui. Ever since the news came from Prince Yu's palace, she had become more concerned about him.
There were many letters and purses were sent to me.
Xiao Yu reached for the purse at his waist and stroked it gently with his fingertips, for fear of breaking it. Whenever he felt uncomfortable, he would look at the crooked stitches and it would feel much better, as long as the person he cared about most was by his side.
, he doesn’t care about the rest, just like his mother.
After finishing a bowl of cheese, Xiao Yu looked at Huaiguang: "Show me the news from the palace."
Xiao Yu never shied away from Huai Guang in the letters he sent, so Huai Guang knew the general inside story. Thinking of what the concubine had done, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"She also has a son."
Huaiguang didn't know how to respond.
Xiao Yu looked over: "Why are you so nervous?"
Huaiguang's voice was hard now: "The concubine really shouldn't be like this."
Xiao Yu said calmly: "Even if this didn't happen, she would still treat me the same way, so what's the difference?"
"Yes," Huaiguang said, "I just can't figure it out."
Xiao Yu said: "I don't care anymore." He knew what Huaiguang was worried about, it was just that he was afraid that he would become what he was before again.
Huaiguang forced a smile: "Yes, now that we have a girl, and the entire Zhao family, there is no need to think about the palace. Anyway, you didn't want those things in the first place, so just treat them as staying in the Chen family and never return to the palace."
.”
Xiao Yu's eyes became much softer: "I don't need you to comfort me."
Huaiguang smiled and walked out.
Xiao Yu picked up the pen and wrote for a long time. He remembered Huaiguang's words and murmured unconsciously: "That would be great."
It would have been great if I had stayed with the Chen family back then.
After finishing all the official duties, Xiao Yu washed up and rested. Perhaps he was too tired and fell asleep quickly. After an unknown period of time, he heard a voice in his ear.
"Would you like a bowl of freshly boiled red beans?"
He raised his head, and the gentle face of a woman gradually became clear.
Xiao Yu recognized this person as Zhang, Princess Duan.
The late emperor was crowned King Duan before he succeeded to the throne, and King Duan's first wife was the daughter of the Zhang family.
Even Xiao Yu couldn't remember this past incident clearly. He didn't expect to fall into a dream today.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "It's not a good thing, but I like to eat it. The boiled red beans are filled with caramel. They taste soft, glutinous and sweet. Can you try it?"
Xiao Yu reached out and took it. He held a spoon in his small hand and put a little bit into his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Zhang said: "It's not tasted yet. Don't reply to me. Just eat more if you like it."
, if you don’t like it, just leave it aside for a while, someone will come and collect it.”
Xiao Yu nodded and looked over again. Mrs. Zhang had returned to her seat to talk to the women. This bowl of boiled red beans was really brought to him alone.
This was Xiao Yu's first impression of Zhang.
He is very gentle and speaks very nicely. He is different from ordinary people. He probably likes Mrs. Zhang very much. He is still young and doesn’t know much, but every time he looks at Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang happens to be looking at him too.
, and then Mrs. Zhang will smile at him.
Later, he heard that Zhang had had a miscarriage. If the child who had a miscarriage was still alive, he should be about the same age as him.
He only took a few bites of the bowl of boiled red beans and then put it down. In fact, he loved to eat it, but he didn't dare to eat too much for fear that his mother might be angry if he told his grandma.
My mother was not happy because she was greedy and playful, especially when she went to Prince Duan's Mansion. If she did anything wrong, she would be laughed at, which would bring shame to both her father and mother.
Perhaps it was the cooking of red beans that night, or perhaps it was Zhang's concern for him, and the care of Prince Duan's two children, that he inexplicably wanted to get close to the people in Prince Duan's palace.
If it hadn't been like this, maybe there wouldn't have been anything else.
Xiao Yu didn't want to think about the past, but tonight's dream did not follow his will, and he continued to think about the past.
The days of running away in a hurry were actually not that sad. Among all the children, he was the youngest and was always the one who was taken care of. His mother was in poor health, so Zhang shouldered the burden of taking care of everyone.
The first time he saw Mrs. Zhang carrying a bow and arrow, he was inexplicably surprised. He had never thought that a female family member like Mrs. Zhang could do this.
He paid attention to Zhang's hands. Her fingers were very long and she could easily hold the tail of an arrow. She helped the guards shoot several chasing soldiers.
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Zhang handed him the bow and arrow and let him touch it. She also took his hand and praised him for his long fingers, which would enable him to hold a long knife and pull the reins in the future.
For some reason, he liked to listen to Mrs. Zhang talking. Every time Mrs. Zhang looked at him, the smile in her eyes was particularly obvious.
Under Zhang's control, they got rid of the pursuers and only had to walk for two more days to reunite with Prince Duan and his father. However, something went wrong at that time. He and Prince Duan's youngest son suddenly vomited and suffered from abdominal pain, and everyone was helpless.
Don't stop to look after them.
Xiao Yu's brows furrowed even more. He remembered what his mother had said to him, asking him to hold on to Neng Shi and not to let go no matter what Zhang said.
At that time, he didn't understand why his mother asked him to do this. Later, he vaguely guessed the reason. Now it is completely clear, because that night, his mother asked a doctor to treat them. If he hadn't dragged Zhang to find a doctor,
The person should be Zhang, not the mother.
On the day when the mother left to look for the doctor, they were discovered by the pursuing soldiers. The two children of Zhang and Prince Duan lost their lives at that time.
So...he was actually the one who killed Zhang and Prince Duan's heirs.
