Chen Xuan has always felt that with the temperament of his descendants, they will never be surrendered no matter what happens to them.
When Mei Qing and Chen Xuan said these words, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But Chen Xuan knew in his heart that Chen Huan actually had no choice.
A tortured death, and an innocent life... No, there is no innocence at all. It's just that when fate made things difficult for her, Chen Huan chose a wrong path.
After thinking about this, Chen Xuan only had doubts in his heart.
One is what Chen Huan's state of mind is, and the other is what happened to these two fires.
Chen Xuan looked at Mei Qing, and then continued to ask.
"Chen Huan...is she happy here?"
When he asked this question, Chen Xuan felt very, very sad.
None of the girls in the flower house are forced by life.
Mei Qing may have been a little surprised by Chen Xuan's words, but she was also thinking seriously, are Chen Huan happy these days here?
From the first day she met Chen Huan, Mei Qing's impression of Chen Huan was actually that this girl was indifferent.
She doesn't seem to care much about anything in this world.
The happiest thing for every Hualou girl after receiving a customer is to get the commission money, but when Mei Qing went to give Chen Huan the money, Chen Huan didn't behave at all like she should.
Because it was the first time Chen Huan accepted a customer after being selected as the courtesan, it was actually the first time Chen Huan accepted a customer, so the price offered was a terrifying price.
Originally, Chen Huan was asked to get the money himself, but Mei Qing went to give it to Chen Huan in person.
More than a year has passed today, and Mei Qing still clearly remembers Chen Huan's expression that day.
It was a sunny morning, and Mei Qing walked into Chen Huan's room holding a wooden box.
The door opened and Chen Huan was dressing up on the dressing table.
She is really, really beautiful.
She was so beautiful that Mei Qing felt a little jealous as a woman.
Maybe God was jealous that she was so beautiful, so he allowed her to suffer like this at this moment.
The window was pushed open by Chen Huan.
Chunfeng Tower is very large, and most of the girls live on the third floor. Behind the Chunfeng Tower is a courtyard related to the Chunfeng Tower, where some dignitaries can enter only after they come here.
Because we have to entertain some important guests, the scenery in the backyard is beautiful.
But even such a beautiful scenery is inferior by three points when compared with Chen Huan.
The breeze blows on the face, blowing Chen Huan's hair, adding a bit of charm, and the sun shines into the room, shining on Chen Huan's face, but adds a bit of purity and cuteness.
Mei Qing has never seen such a creative beauty.
She is charming but not seductive, pure but not stupid, and is a unique beauty.
When she saw that charming face, Mei Qing was still shocked.
Then he hugged the wooden box tightly and entered Chen Huan's house.
There was too much money, and Mei Qing was afraid that other girls would see and be jealous of Chen Huan, so she closed the door from the outside.
When Chen Huan heard the sound of Mei Qing entering the room, he didn't look back and continued to put on his makeup.
Mei Qing held the wooden box and walked towards Chen Huan. When she came to Chen Huan, Chen Huan glanced at Mei Qing slightly and called her mother.
From the time she brought Chen Huan back to Chunfeng Tower, Chen Huan had this attitude. You might say she was cold, but when she saw the guests, she smiled like a flower.
You could call her hot, but as soon as she entered her room, she became so calm again.
Mei Qing had already become accustomed to Chen Huan's behavior, so she was not angry and sat down in front of Chen Huan with a smile.
Then he placed the wooden box he was holding tightly in his arms in front of Chen Huan.
But Chen Huan looked at himself in the mirror and didn't even look at Mei Qing.
Mei Qing saw Chen Huan's appearance, then reached out and opened the box.
For a moment, even Mei Qing was dazzled by the box of gold.
After decades of hospitality, Mei Qing has never seen so much money.
Even when she was an oiran in her first year, she didn't have such a big battle.
Seeing Chen Huan's nonchalant look, Mei Qing lifted the box, placed it in front of Chen Huan's eyes and said, "Take a good look! This is gold!"
Because the wooden box blocked Chen Huan's gaze, Chen Huan gave the gold in the wooden box a look.
How to say it, Mei Qing thought carefully.
At that time, Chen Huan looked at the box of gold as if he were looking at a pile of cold stones.
There is no Red Mansion girl who doesn't love money. Mei Qing is the first person like Chen Huan who despises money.
Because every girl in the Red Mansion wants to quickly save up enough ransom money and leave this hellish place, so sometimes the girls in the Red Mansion will also have a characteristic.
That means he is a little stingy, especially towards himself, he is very stingy.
But Chen Huan is different. She seems to be someone who never cares about money.
Mei Qing had told her for a long time, asking her to be more careful, but Chen Huan just didn't listen.
As soon as the best silks and satins are on the market, Chen Huan goes to buy them to make clothes. She also buys the best for everything she needs.
Sometimes Mei Qing thought she was vain, but over time Mei Qing discovered that she was not vain, she just thought she had too much money.
Although Chen Huan only accepts customers three times a month, her monthly turnover is much more than an ordinary girl's annual turnover.
There was so much money flowing through her hands that she also had a lot of money in her hands. Every time the money came out, Mei Qing would remind her to leave this place.
But every time, Chen Huan didn't.
After telling Chen Xuan this phenomenon, Chen Xuan's inner doubts deepened.
Chen Huan could have left here with so much money and found a good family to marry, but why didn't she?
Chen Xuan decided in his heart that he would have to ask Chen Huan himself later to get the answer.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xuan asked again: "Then what happened to the fire yesterday and today?"
Mei Qing is still afraid of the fire when she mentions it.
He said: "Sir, the fire yesterday was caused by Chen Huan wanting to eat roasted sweet potatoes and asking the kitchen to burn some. Sparks were blown by the wind onto the dry firewood, which caused the fire."
Chen Xuan frowned deeply, "The Yufeng Dynasty has a clear rule that no fires are allowed on windy days. Have you forgotten it?"
Mei Qing cried out that she was wronged and said: "My lord, I am wronged. I really don't know about the chef. After the fire subsided yesterday, I went to check and found out that the chef ran away!"
"It sounds confusing, sir. This chef has been in our Chunfeng Building for several years. Because Mr. Fengxi is here, our Chunfeng Building follows the rules very much and has never lit a fire on a windy day.
Although it was said before that because of Chen Huan's good looks, all the men in the building wanted to have contact with her, but this kind of thing is strictly prohibited in Chunfeng Building, so even a chef should not dare to do it, but yesterday I didn't know why, so I just
Light the fire!"
"And there is still today! Sir, no one lit a fire today, but a fire suddenly broke out!"
Fengxi frowned and asked her, "Then why didn't you tell me today?"
"Oh, my lord, how could I have time to tell you!"
Also, when Fengxi came, he knelt down to Chen Xuan. After kneeling down to Chen Xuan, Mei Qing fainted immediately. How could she have the time to talk to Fengxi about this matter?
After a moment of silence, Fengxi looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Sir, let me go check on this matter."
Chen Xuan shook his head, and then said: "I think Chen Huan may know something."
"What?"
Fengxi didn't understand what Chen Xuan said, "The princess has not been left out since she was a child, how could she know?"
Chen Xuan was silent for a while and said: "I don't know, but I just have this intuition."
After saying that, Chen Xuan stood up and said, "I'll go see her."
After saying that, Chen Xuan took out his long legs and walked towards Chen Huan's house.
Although he didn't know which room Chen Huan lived in, Chen Xuan could sense which room Chen Huan's aura was in.
Arriving at Chen Huan's door, Chen Xuan gently knocked on the door.
The people in the room may have been a little stunned. After three breaths, Chen Huan's voice came: "Come in."
Chen Xuan pushed the door open and saw Chen Huan lying on the table with his head propped up.
After entering the house, Chen Xuan closed the door with his backhand.
Walking to the opposite side of Chen Huan, Chen Xuan sat down opposite Chen Huan.
Chen Huan smiled softly: "You're welcome."
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, "You?"
Chen Huan imitated him and raised his eyebrows, and said meaningfully: "Isn't it you?"
This sound made Chen Xuandun think for a moment that maybe Chen Huan really knew something.
"Do you know who I am?"
Chen Huan smiled, "Who are you?"
"My name is Chen Xuan."
"I know."
These three words made Chen Xuan's pupils shrink suddenly.
He looked at Chen Huan, and suddenly for a moment, he didn't know what Chen Huan was thinking.
Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Chen Huan and asked, "Do you know?"
Although she just said she was talking to Fengxi there, she didn't reveal her identity. How did she know?
Chen Huan dragged his chin, smiled at Chen Xuan and said: "I know that you are mine... Great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great man, I know, you are mine."
?
A huge question mark not only appeared on Chen Xuan's forehead.
This kid really knows everything!
Just...why would she know?
Didn't Shadow Whistle say that after the baby was sent outside the palace, he was placed in the mountains and thrown out?
She was so little at that time...
Even so, how does she know that he is her great-great-great-grandfather?
No... Chen Xuan suddenly felt that this sentence was somewhat familiar.
Isn't this what he said to Chen Yi before?
Why would she know?
Before, Chen Xuan felt that he was about to solve the mystery of the fog, but at this moment, he suddenly fell into the unsolved world again.
Chen Xuan frantically wanted to pry into Chen Huan's psychological state and see what she was thinking, but he couldn't pry into it.
The confusion is increasing.
At this moment, Chen Huan burst out laughing when he saw Chen Xuan was so shocked.
Chen Xuan heard Chen Huan laugh, and then tried his best not to be so shocked and asked: "How did you know?"
Chen Huan poured a glass of water for Chen Xuan, and then said: "Drink some water first. Don't be scared after I say it."
When he heard this sentence, Chen Xuan felt even more confused.
The tea was filled with steam, and Chen Xuan's slender white hands slowly placed on the side of the tea cup.
The wind outside was blowing slowly, and occasionally a gust of wind would flow into the house.
Chen Huan not only looks good, but also has a very nice voice.
She spoke slowly, but even though what she said shocked the listeners, her tone of voice sounded like it had nothing to do with her.
——
It turns out that Chen Huan had his own independent consciousness from the moment he was born.
Chen Huan still doesn't know why.
But she could clearly remember everything that happened when she was born.
From birth to hearing that his mother was brutally murdered, everything was imprinted on Chen Huan's mind.
When Chen Huan was sent out of the palace, she didn't even dare to cry because she was afraid that if she cried, she would be killed.
The person who was still carrying her out of the palace was her mother, the rebellious palace maid of Wang Zhaoyi.
Normally Wang Zhaoyi is kind to others and treats the palace maids very well, but this time the palace maid's family members in her hometown were coerced by the queen, so the palace maid had no choice but to rebel.
After the palace maid carried Chen Huan out of the palace, she placed Chen Huan in a wilderness.
The queen gave her an order to kill Chen Huan, but the palace maid did not take action in the end, so Chen Huan survived.
But why he survived, Chen Huan himself didn't know.
Although she remembered everything, she didn't know how she escaped from the wilderness.
No, how could she escape as a newborn? She didn't know how to get out of there.
After the palace maid left, she was surrounded by fear. She was afraid that a wild beast would come and eat her.
So she kept crying and crying, and when she was tired of crying, she fell asleep.
When he woke up again, Chen Huan was in a room.
She was taken away by a family.
But later I heard what this family said, and she was found by this person at the door of their home.
How could she, an infant child, run to the door of someone else's house?
Therefore, Chen Huan still doesn't know what the reason for this incident is.
Chen Huan not only has memories from childhood, but Chen Huan also has occasional common thoughts with her compatriot brother.
Chen Huan didn't know if something like her had happened to that brother.
Sometimes, some memories that do not belong to her will suddenly appear in Chen Huan's mind.
Maybe it's not a memory, just a paragraph.
For example, the whole process of the queen explaining to her cronies in front of Chen Yi, for example, the lecture Chen Yi heard in the Imperial College.
Sometimes it would suddenly appear in Chen Huan's mind.
But Chen Huan could only go up to the mountains to chop firewood and weed the fields with his foster parents.
Before Chen Huan was three or four years old, everything was very stable.
Chen Huan felt that he could spend the rest of his life like this.
But later, when her adoptive mother took her to attend a temple fair, everything changed.
The temple fair is very grand. On this day, the nobles in the palace will come out to worship Chen Xuan, the founding king of their country.
On this day, the empress, who was sitting on the sedan chair with all kinds of graces, saw among the crowd, a little girl who looked exactly like her prince.
For a moment, time seemed to have stopped.
Although Chen Huan only had voice but no picture, so she didn't know what the queen looked like, but at that time, she knew what the queen looked like.
She looks like she is the queen of the world, but among the people around her who love her, do any of them know that in fact, the queen of the world has done so many horrible things behind her back?
?
Perhaps at that time, the only person in the crowd who did not smile at the Queen was Chen Huan.
Chen Huan looked at the queen who was staring at him, stunned, and suddenly felt bad in his heart. She must have recognized him.
But soon, with the reminder from the emperor next to her, she returned to her original appearance.
That day, Chen Huan had a quarrel with his mother for the first time and wanted to go home.
The Queen is powerful and cruel, and Chen Huan is worried that the Queen will find him.
Her worries were right. Within a few days, someone found Chen Huan's home.
Chen Huan's adoptive parents and one brother were all killed.
When the man with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist waved the machete at him, Chen Huan disappeared in front of the man in an instant.
To this day, Chen Huan still doesn't know what happened.
She suddenly disappeared in her home, escaped from the tiger's mouth, and then came to a ruined temple.
She was so frightened that she cried bitterly, and then she covered her mouth vigorously, fearing that her crying would attract people.
Later, Chen Huan spent nearly half a year begging.
There was no food in the temple, and she was too young to get food in the mountains, so she had to go down the mountain to beg.
She made her face very, very dark so that others could not recognize her, and then after begging, she returned to this ruined temple every day and huddled in a corner.
During this period, she also heard words from the palace.
That was what the queen said to her cronies after Chen Yi fell asleep.
She said she must find Chen Huan and then kill Chen Huan.
Chen Huan was constantly trembling with fear. Every night, she was afraid that someone would suddenly appear and want to kill her.
She had thought about going to the palace to find her father directly, but she was worried that she would be killed by the queen's people before she got there.
Over the years, no one knows what kind of life Chen Huan has spent.
But fortunately and doubtfully, every danger can be averted.
Chen Xuan heard this and told her: "You are the one chosen to be blessed by my spiritual power."
