Chapter 229 Dad

After listening to Xiao Jing's report, Emperor Hongzhi's face became silent. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he kept tapping on the desk with his fingers.

After a long while, he asked: "Have you ever carefully inspected it to make sure there was nothing missing?"

"The factory guards sent out about dozens of people, as well as a group of guards stationed here. These hundreds of people also participated in the inspection. According to the reports from the factory guards, no suspected holes or robbery holes were found.

.”

Xiao Jing answered cautiously, not daring to look at Emperor Hongzhi's face. He chose himself out in his words. It was the factory guards who said it, but I didn't say it.

As the head eunuch in the palace and a close companion of Emperor Hongzhi, it was not certain whether the other people in the palace knew about it, but he knew it very well.

The wife of Xia Xima is suspected to be Princess Taikang who passed away ten years ago. Why is it suspected? Because the resurrection of a dead person is too outrageous.

Even a person like Xiao Jing, who has lived for more than sixty years and has seen strong winds and waves, can't believe this.

But both the emperor and the empress agreed, and no one in the palace dared to refute it. Although she had not yet been given the title of princess, all the palace officials also called her princess.

It's not that no one has made any guesses. If you rule out the possibility of mistaken identity, then everyone is basically guessing in the same direction, or in other words, this is the only possibility left.

Princess Taikang actually faked her death back then. The tomb robbers caught up with her within two days after she was buried. These tomb robbers must not arrive too late and must enter the tomb within a few days. Otherwise, even if she fakes her death, it will not be possible.

Come true dead.

These gravediggers opened the coffins to retrieve the treasures and then walked away.

The tomb robbers would not have covered the coffin again, but coincidentally, Princess Taikang, who had faked her death, came back to life, and then crawled out of the coffin and followed the holes left by the tomb robbers.

As for how the tomb robbers evaded the heavily guarded tomb guards and successfully entered the tomb underground palace;

How could the young princess not be discovered by these guards after crawling out of the underground palace?

None of these are important.

Because the previous speculations that are already bizarre cannot be any more bizarre, they are simply fantasy. It doesn't matter how much more bizarre things are added to such bizarre things. It is already bizarre enough anyway.

It’s just that the current investigation has failed. No underground holes or robbery holes have been found in Princess Taikang’s tomb. This kind of bizarre speculation, or the last possibility, seems to be gone.

Emperor Hongzhi naturally made the same guess, otherwise he would not have ordered people to inspect the tomb in Xijinyuan.

He may have had some doubts about this lost daughter, but when faced with the unique birthmark, he gave up his last doubts and began to firmly believe that this was his daughter.

Even now that he knew that there was no robber hole or underground hole in this tomb, Emperor Hongzhi still believed unswervingly.

Somehow he had this feeling and decided that this was it.

Putting aside such mysterious statements, in Zhu Youtang's subconscious mind, he absolutely refused to accept that this was just an oolong, a misunderstanding, and a mistake.

All he needs is a result, an answer.

There is an underground cave on the top of Baoding, and it doesn’t need to be too big. It doesn’t even matter whether it’s connected to the inside of the underground palace.

As long as you have it, that's fine.

In this way, he can accept everything with peace of mind, accept the fact that his daughter is resurrected, and re-seal the title of Princess Taikang, as if the incident ten years ago had not happened.

But now, he doesn't even want to give himself this result.

Zhu Youtang sat on the chair and was speechless. After a long time, he stood up slowly holding the desk and said, "Xiao Banban, ask someone to drive you. I want to go to Xijin Mountain myself."

"Go and call Xia Qing's family as well. I have something to ask him."

"Then, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Call them too."

It is quite rare for Emperor Hongzhi to leave the palace. There are too many things to do and all kinds of government affairs cannot be handled every day. Even if he has the idea, he does not have the energy.

We are going to Xijinshan in the western suburbs of the capital. It is about forty miles from the Forbidden City, and we have to pass through many busy shopping malls on the way.

In order not to disturb the people, Zhu Youtang went out of the palace incognito. He did not wear the usual imperial crown clothes, but only wore an ordinary round-collared outer shirt, and did not ride in the emperor's carriage. However, his health has been in poor health in recent years, and he suffered from injuries.

Without the pain of the bumpy carriage, he sat in an inconspicuous sedan chair.

All the way out through the Xihua Gate, the accompanying guards were all well-dressed and distributed around to be on guard at all times, with numerous overt and covert sentries.

Leading the way was naturally Zhu Houzhao, riding a tall horse. He loved doing this kind of limelight.

It was his first time to leave the palace openly, which made him quite excited. Xia Yuan also rode a horse, but he did not walk in front, but walked side by side with the emperor's sedan chair.

After opening the sedan curtain, Emperor Hongzhi chatted with him, and Xia Yuan also understood what he was going to do this time, to find a hole.

However, even the husband himself had no idea about the things the emperor asked himself.

"Perhaps the secret behind it can only be known by asking Xiaolizi's mother, but she passed away a few years ago."

"Little boy?"

"Oh, this is the nickname of my wife, shepherd's purse, which was given to her by her mother."

Zhu Youtang recited this nickname several times in his mind and remembered it firmly, then sighed and seemed to say to himself: "It's not that I have concerns about Xiurong's identity, I just want an explanation.

"

"I understand."

"."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything, he was leaning on the cushions and thinking about something.

Seeing that the emperor stopped paying attention to him, Xia Yuan didn't care at all. Anyway, his cheap father-in-law had always had an attitude towards him.

Thinking of this, he reacted quickly and turned his head to look at Emperor Hongzhi in the sedan chair.

He discovered a problem at this moment, why didn't the emperor embarrass himself today?

Not only is there no previous cold-heartedness at all, but his attitude has become much more easy-going.

What's the reason for this? Have you figured it out?

So fast?

I don't know what he thought of, but Emperor Hongzhi called again: "Xia Qing's family"

Xia Yuan was about to go to the front to chat with Zhu Houzhao when he heard the emperor calling him and reined in the reins, "I'm here."

"Do you have a cousin now?"

Dictionary?

Xia Yuan was startled and didn't understand why he jumped to this topic again, "Not yet. I am only eighteen years old now, and I have not reached the age of being crowned. I have to wait two years to be crowned before I can get my first name."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him with a frown. To be precise, he looked at the hat on his head. Then he couldn't help but ask: "What is that on your head?"

"Crown hat."

"Then why do you say you haven't been crowned yet?"

"."

Xia Yuan was a little confused. He was twenty and had a weak crown. In ancient times, only after a crown was crowned could one get the first name. He still knew this.

But when did you get the crown?

"That's all, you don't have a nickname right now, so I'll help you pick one up."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youtang said: "Your name is Yuan, Yuan is the origin, and the origin is righteousness. How about you call me Juzheng?"

"Ju Zheng?"

"Not bad, Juzheng."

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his nickname was well chosen, Juzheng, Juzheng, which not only fit the name, but also had a deep meaning.

Then he continued: "Since you are my son-in-law, you are just like my nephew. The so-called son-in-law is half a son. Folks, when a son-in-law calls his father-in-law, he also calls him his father. As my father-in-law, it is not too much for me to give you a nickname.

.”

Xia Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he solemnly shouted: "Dad."
