When Yu Wuxia escorted them down to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sky was already turning a slightly fishy white.
Yu Wuxia said that he still had some things to do, and besides, the two of them going in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion together would definitely arouse criticism, so in the end, Hua Xuanji and Ziran were the only ones standing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Taking a deep breath, Hua Xuanji raised her head slightly and looked at the three words "Prime Minister's Palace" shining brightly in the sun, with a slight ripple in her heart.
Five years ago, she was dragged away directly by Ye Hua here. At that time, there was no one to send her away, and she also tasted the heat and coldness of the human world.
I originally thought I would never come back to this place, but now I feel a little nostalgic in my heart when I am about to step into it. Perhaps this is the feeling of a wanderer returning home.
Even if everyone is cold and ignores me, outside, thinking that I still have a home, my heart will always feel warm.
With a helpless smile on her lips, Hua Xuanji rubbed her slightly groggy head and walked slowly towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
What is very strange is that the originally luxurious Prime Minister's Mansion is different from the past. Not only is the front door extremely lonely, with thick dust and debris, but what makes Hua Xuanji curious is that there is not even a single doorkeeper!
Confused, Hua Xuanji reached out and knocked lightly on the door. Hua Xuanji put her ear to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, waiting for the sound inside.
It wasn't until a long while that a rustling sound came from inside, and then, a somewhat old voice slowly reached Hua Xuanji's ears from inside the door:
"Didn't I tell you that our master is already ill? You'd better not come here anymore!"
"I, I'm not here to find the prime minister, I..." Hua Xuanji took a deep breath and said, "I am Hua Xuanji, I'm back!"
"Xuanji, Xuanji?" The hoarse voice murmured a few words, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He quickly opened the door and several figures knelt on the ground:
"Old slave, slave, I would like to welcome the second young lady back to my home."
"This..." Hua Xuanji was startled by the actions of several people. After reacting, she hurriedly bent down and said with some embarrassment: "Don't be like this, why are you giving me such a big gift?"
"It should be, this is what it should be." The smile lines in the corners of the old slave's eyes formed deep grooves. The next second, he slapped his head fiercely and said as if he remembered something: "Hey, the old slave is so excited.
Come on, you, you, hurry up, go and tell the master that the second young lady is back, the master will be very happy."
As he spoke, the older man pointed at a servant and gave instructions.
Their performance was beyond Hua Xuanji's expectation. Before that, Hua Xuanji had even prepared herself to be kicked out. What could make them so surprised? Could it be that it was really like what Bai Yan said?
, Prime Minister, is she really the only daughter left now?
Hua Xuanji pondered for half a second, stretched out her hand to stop the boy sent by the old man, and smiled at the old man: "It's better not to go now, tell me the direction, and let me go to see him by myself." Seeing the old man's hesitant face, Hua Xuanji
Xuanji quickly added: "I want to give him a surprise."
"I see, father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time. Go and walk along here. In the second room on the left, the master is handling important matters in the study."
Hua Xuanji looked up at the still slightly dim sky, and asked doubtfully: "Are you up so early?"
"Oh, no, I haven't slept all night." As soon as the old man mentioned this, his originally happy face immediately turned bitter, "Now that I don't go to court, the ministers in the court have lost their authority, and all problems have been dealt with at once.
I sent them here, and I obviously told you that they were sick... They, alas."
Looking at the old man's bitter face, Hua Xuanji felt an indescribable feeling welling up in her heart. She patted the old man's back gently to comfort her. Hua Xuanji said softly: "I'll go take a look." Then, quickly
He walked towards the prime minister's room.
The second her fingers touched the door, Hua Xuanji's heart trembled slightly. She didn't know what to say when she went in. Did she make it clear that she was here because of Qi'er's affairs? Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate?
good.
Forget it. She frowned helplessly, and Hua Xuanji was secretly annoyed. When did she become so hesitant and indecisive? Now that she's here, why should she turn around and leave?
Thinking of this, Hua Xuanji no longer hesitated, stretched out her hand to open the door and walked in.
The thought of greeting the prime minister disappeared the moment she saw the prime minister. Hua Xuanji's eyes were a little red, and she stared at the rickety figure of the prime minister sitting at the desk for a moment.
His original jet-black hair has long since turned gray, and his small eyes, probably due to overwork, are almost stuck to the memorial.
The beer belly that was expected of an official suddenly disappeared. Even if Hua Xuanji didn't remember the prime minister that deeply, she realized that he had lost more than just one or two laps.
She suddenly thought of her father at home. She wondered whether he was doing well now or whether he would be sad because of his disappearance. Hua Xuanji's eyes became redder and redder, a sour feeling came to the tip of her nose, and tears filled her eyes.
Keep spinning.
At this second, Hua Xuanji truly understood that the aloof prime minister was just an ordinary father who worked hard for his children.
The prime minister who heard the footsteps did not raise his head. Instead, his eyes took in the memorial a little more. He murmured to Hua Xuanji and said: "Old Wang, you came just in time. Go and take a look. There is something on the cabinet over there.
This account book has a green surface. You bring it here for me. After sitting there all night, my legs are a little numb. Later you go to the first lady and the second lady and tell them that I will not accompany them to eat today. Let them
Don't wait any longer."
Hua Xuanji was not in a hurry to reveal that she was not Lao Wang, nor did she respond. She just followed the prime minister's instructions and found the book he needed in the direction of his finger, and then quickly walked forward and handed it into his hand.
, shouted with some choking: "Here it is, Dad!"
"Hey, okay..." The prime minister hurriedly reached out to take the account book without raising his head. However, when his fingers touched the account book, his body trembled as if he was electrocuted and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Hua Xuanji.
At that moment, Lao burst into tears and held Hua Xuanji in his arms, his hoarse voice filled with surprise and choking:
"My daughter, you, are not dead! I, I still have a daughter, I still have a daughter!"
"Dad." That embrace gave Hua Xuanji an incomparable sense of peace of mind and comfort. She felt much more at ease than any other person's embrace. Even though there had been so many gaps between the two before, for some reason, this second,
It's like everything has disappeared.
This may be the love between father and daughter, with the obsession of Hua Xuanji's original body.
After hugging and crying for a long time, Hua Xuanji and the prime minister reluctantly separated. They held Hua Xuanji's hand tightly. The joy on their faces could not be concealed. They stretched out their hands to gently gather the broken hair on Hua Xuanji's forehead.
Behind the ears, the prime minister stretched out his hand and rubbed Hua Xuanji's hair lovingly. Like an ordinary father, he pulled Hua Xuanji to sit down on the small couch beside him and asked warmly:
"What on earth is going on? Why did the news of your death suddenly come before? How did you come out alive? What happened between you and the second prince? Tell me if you have any grievances.
Tell everything and let dad make the decision for you."
The prime minister looked at Hua Xuanji with some regret. After all his daughters passed away one after another, he began to reflect slowly and realized that he owed so much to Hua Xuanji and her mother. Sometimes, he even
He had a nightmare, dreaming that Hua Xuanji and her mother came to him crying and asked him why he did that to them.
The prime minister originally thought that he was destined to be indebted to their mother and daughter in this life, but he did not expect that Hua Xuanji could come back alive.
Now, he doesn't ask for anything else. He just wants to, as a father, try his best to redeem some of the wrong things he did before.
The prime minister's words made Hua Xuanji's eyes turn red again, and a child-like feeling came to her heart.
The old man in front of her gave her the first and only time in this world to feel extremely at ease.
His eyes were so bright that one couldn't help but wonder. Apart from his love for his daughter, Hua Xuanji could see nothing else.
In a situation where a child is dependent on his parents, Hua Xuanji did not hide anything and truthfully told the prime minister what happened in the military camp four years ago. In addition, Hua Xuanji suddenly went down and closed all the doors and windows, and then turned the queen to the prime minister.
Everything he said was also told to the prime minister.
Hua Xuanji was not a very suspicious person, not to mention that the person in front of her was not the slightest threat to her. Therefore, without any precaution, Hua Xuanji hid all the secrets that she had hidden from everyone for four years and told them all.
.
Out of an intuition, she was sure that the so-called father in front of her would definitely help her.
"What?" After hearing that Ye Hua and Ye Sheng were not the emperor's biological sons, the prime minister opened his eyes in surprise. However, he was a man who had seen the big world, and he didn't have much reaction. He held his chin up.
After thinking for a moment, he asked in a deep voice:
"Have you told anyone else about this?"
"No!" Hua Xuanji replied firmly: "I don't know if the Queen has told anyone about it, but I have never told anyone about my daughter."
Hua Xuanji is a person who understands the general situation. She understands the consequences of saying such words. Not only Yehua, but also Yesheng will be doomed. Therefore, even though it is Yu Wuxia, she does not tell the whole truth of the matter.
"How could it be possible, oh, how could it be possible." The prime minister's brows furrowed into a knot, "You may not know the current dynamics in the court. Now the fight between the sixth prince and the second prince has almost been put on the table, but the emperor does not know
Why, he never said a word, but he also expressed that he was relatively optimistic about Yehua. If Bai Yan wants to sit on the throne firmly, he must have the support of the ministers, and now the ministers are all at a loss.
Guan Ji's high-hanging state pushed all the burdens onto me. I got to know Bai Yan's character more or less. If the country was handed over to his hands, it would definitely not end well, and Ye Hua's
Face, because you married him, you will definitely be criticized by others, so I refused to see the guests because I was sick at home."
"To tell you the truth, in fact, in the past few days, I have made the decision to ignore the criticism and recommend Yehua. However, you said this. If it is discovered that Yehua is not the emperor's biological child in the future, what will happen to your father and me?
It will definitely be very miserable...I think this is why the emperor has kept silent..."
