Luo Xing and Meng Yi came to the bedroom where Xue Shangxiang was recovering from his injuries.
The lights inside were still on, obviously the people hadn't rested yet.
With Luo Xing's encouraging look, Mengyi, the old father, finally reached out and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Meng Yi."
The one who opened the door was Hong Ying.
"Master Meng, please."
Luo Xing waved to Hongying to come out. Hongying naturally understood, nodded, and got out of the way. After Meng Yi walked in, he followed him out and closed the door.
"Let's go, let the father and daughter talk properly." Luo Xing ordered in a low voice and left immediately.
inside the room.
Xue Shangxiang had just finished taking the medicine and was about to lie down to rest. She was a little surprised when she saw Meng Yi coming in. She instinctively felt a sense of familiarity. She supported her body and was about to sit up.
"Child, don't, don't get up, just lie down." Meng Yi saw this action and hurriedly stepped forward and gently pressed the person down.
"My name is Meng Yi. You heard me just now. I brought you out of Baicao Pavilion." Meng Yi introduced himself.
Xue Shangxiang nodded. She had already distinguished the familiar smell. Although she was unconscious, she could become the saint of Yaowang Valley because of her special nose and natural sensitivity to herbs. Of course, her talent was also extremely high.
.
"Child, I have a few questions to ask you. Please answer them truthfully, okay?"
Xue Shangxiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Is your mother's name Xue Qingqing?"
Xue Shangxiang nodded.
"What about your father?"
"I have never seen my father since I can remember, and my mother has never mentioned him in front of me." Xue Shangxiang said, "But my mother has a painting in her hand. Every year on the ninth day of July, she will take it out and hang it.
You can spend the whole day just looking at the room.”
Meng Yi's heart trembled when he heard about this date. He was so familiar with it. This was the day when he and Xue Qingqing met.
"What kind of painting is that? Do you remember it?"
"In the painting, there is a small boat with a man and a woman standing on the bow. The woman is leaning on the man's shoulder, rowing on the lake. There are also lotus flowers on the lakeside. That's all I remember."
Yes, yes...
This was the scene when he and Xue Qingqing were boating on Nanhu Lake. It was summer, the sun was setting, the lotus flowers in the lake were in full bloom, the blue waves were vast, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.
"Child, when is your birthday?"
"Twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month." (There are sixteen months in a year in another world. This is a setting and does not affect reading.)
"How old are you?"
"I'm still two months away from turning eighteen."
"There are still two months left, let me do the math..." Meng Yi pinched his fingers and started counting. Although he had done the calculation before, but now he was so excited that he couldn't help but do it again to confirm.
Not long after he met Xue Qingqing, they got into a good relationship while drunk. That was the only time he could remember without Cynomorium cynomorium.
This also confirmed that the knowledge Luo Xing gave him was correct and that his own understanding all along was wrong.
It was this time that he gave birth to another daughter.
This is the most precious gift God gave him.
"Son, if my calculation is correct, I am your father." Meng Yi prepared the words for a long time and finally said it at this moment.
Xue Shangxiang also showed an excited expression at this moment and shouted: "Dad."
"Girl, I'm sorry for you." Meng Yi's eyes instantly turned red, and his emotions surged up instantly. Xue Shangxiang also couldn't stop crying.
If it weren't for Xue Shangxiang's injuries, the father and daughter would be holding each other's arms and crying right now.
When the father and daughter met for the first time, they naturally had endless things to say. Anyway, Meng Yi often stayed up late at night, so the eight mistresses in the family probably wouldn't care too much.
…
"It seems His Highness hasn't come back?"
"Your Highness went to Hualiu Lane tonight, you forgot..." Qingyi looked back at Luo Xingdao who followed her into the bedroom.
"Isn't that just right?" Luo Xing reached out and hugged Qingyi from behind. Just as he was about to take another step, a slight sound of landing came from outside the yard.
"Qingyi, Luo Xiaoqi, are you two back?"
Qingyi blushed and put away Luo Xiaoqi's hand. His Highness always chose the right time. If this happened a step too late, they would really make a fool of themselves.
"Your Highness, are you bothered that it's so late at night?" Being disturbed, Luo Xin naturally got angry and opened the door and rushed out.
"I'm disturbing your business, haha." Ye Liuli chuckled, "You two haven't gotten married yet. If people find out, what will others think of Qingyi?"
"Qingyi and I are fair and aboveboard. We just need a ceremony. Your Highness, please stop messing around here."
"Don't you want to know what I will gain from meeting Miss Yumei tonight?" Ye Liuli changed the topic. She knew that she couldn't beat Luo Xing when it came to bickering.
"No, it's getting late. It's time for Your Highness to rest." After saying that, he was about to close the door.
"Wait a moment!"
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I've been tired all day and want to go to bed." Luo Xing knew that he really couldn't go too far. He had to control this level.
"The Shen family has been smuggling salt and iron to Nanchu in recent years. Not only did the Zhou treasury lose tens of millions of taels of silver, but it also greatly enhanced Nanchu's national and military power. Seeing that things can no longer be hidden, this Nanchu situation
The drama of the Northern Expedition has begun." Ye Liuli said.
"Nanchu raided our navy in order to cover up the Shen family's smuggling crimes over the years?" Luo Xing was a little surprised. This was a bit too big a deal.
However, I have seen so many magical things that I am immune to it. A packet of washing powder can be used as a reason to start a war, let alone cover up such a crime?
Maybe Nanchu had wanted to start a war for a long time, but he happened to coincide with the Shen family and hit this point.
"Wait a minute, how does she, a singer, know this?"
"Singing girl, your description is quite apt. Yu Mei's singing voice is really beautiful." Ye Liuli said with eyes shining.
"Your Highness, if you want to chat like this, then let's not talk anymore today." After Luo Xing finished speaking, he closed the door again.
"No, I'm just kidding you. Yumei's brother, Ding Xian, told her this," Ye Liuli said.
"Ding Xian told her, she will tell you again, Your Highness, I'm afraid your identity will be exposed." Luo Xing laughed, "Otherwise, she is just a joker, why are she telling you this? These women are most afraid of getting into trouble.
, she is still rushing to find out what is right and wrong, isn't it because you have exposed your identity?"
"Yes, I can always follow the script you gave me."
"Words are not static. It seems that Ding Xian knows a lot. And what evidence Ding Xian should have is in Yu Mei's hands. The question is why the Shen family didn't take action?" Luo Xing said, "Does Shen Zhuang really not know about Yu Mei?
The presence?"
"These days, Shen Zhuang is all around Liu Zhimei, how can he care about such small things?"
"This is not a trivial matter. Once it is exposed, it will be the confiscation of the family and the extermination of the clan. Can Shen Zhuang ignore it?" Luo Xing said, "Tomorrow you go to the Duke's Mansion and wear your clothes from last night."
"Why is this?" Ye Liuli was puzzled.
"What do you mean, Lord Captain, is this girl with eyebrows trying to test His Highness's identity?" Su Manqing appeared and leaned over slightly to ask.
"Sister Su, don't be like this. Just call me Xiaoqi." Luo Xing bowed and returned the greeting, "Anyone who wants to get close to Yumei at this time but doesn't care about her body has ulterior motives. If I were like this Yumei will naturally think too much, not to mention His Highness’s surname of ‘Shen’.”
"She regards me as the Shen family, but why did she tell me this?" Ye Liuli asked.
"Where's Song Yi? Did you go to Hualiu Lane to look for Yumei today?"
"No, he didn't go out today and stayed at Qujiang Guild Hall. However, the name he used at Qujiang Guild Hall was not Song Yi, but Ding Mohan." Su Manqing said.
"Ding Mohan, his surname is also Ding, is there any relationship with Ding Xian's 'Ding'?" Luo Xing said casually.
"I don't know this yet, I need to check."
"Song Yi is the captain of Nanya School. There should be many people in Luojing who know him, at least many people in Nanya know him. He did not report when he returned to Luojing, but hid in Qujiang Guild Hall under a pseudonym. I don’t go out all day because I’m afraid that my identity will be recognized.”
"But if he wanted to investigate the case, why didn't he contact Nanya? Could it be that he didn't trust the people in Nanya, or had other ideas?"
"After the city of Yangzhou was destroyed, Nanya's organization in Yangzhou was almost completely destroyed. Except for a few people who withdrew, the rest were basically destroyed. It was similar to Nanchu Jinling. Was it Nanchu Jinling's involvement in Yangzhou or Yangzhou? There is a traitor within the organization, but there is no result yet," Ye Liuli said.
"It seems that it is necessary to reorganize the situation of the Yangzhou Branch of the Intelligence Department." Luo Xing said.
"This is not an easy matter. Without permission from above, not even Manager Meng has the right to give you or me access to top-secret information."
"Your Highness, actually it has nothing to do with me whether to investigate or not. I am just a small captain, I just follow the orders from above." Luo Xing said, "What do you think?"
"Your Highness, I think Captain Luo is right. None of this has much to do with you. Even if you don't investigate, no one will say anything to you." Su Manqing also persuaded.
"Although I don't like to interfere with the affairs of the Zhou Dynasty, it is really hateful for someone to provoke a war for their own selfish interests, destroying the homes of tens of millions of people and making them homeless!" Ye Liuli said.
"If you do this, the man in the Dazheng Palace will not be grateful to you."
"I only do things with a clear conscience. What does it matter whether he is grateful to me or not?" Ye Liuli said "hum", showing his domineering determination.
Luo Xing couldn't help but look at Ye Liuli with admiration. Some people are born different from others. She may have many problems, but she has no problems with right and wrong, benevolence and righteousness.
"Okay, I'm going to rest. Your Highness, go and do whatever you like." This time Luo Xing simply closed the door and went in.
"Ahem, Nanny Su, why did he go in?"
"Your Highness, I have been sleeping on the same bed for a long time. Isn't it inappropriate for you to interfere with me?" Su Manqing sighed.
"I'm not doing this for their own good. Living together before we get married will make people gossip." Ye Liuli said to herself.
