Tong Xiao was happy when he heard this and couldn't help but said: "Well, this Duke Xiang of Jin will soon be as powerful as my grandpa."

The eunuch heard what he said with interest: "Who is your grandpa?"

Tong Xiao thought for a moment, and it seemed that his mother had never said anything about not telling anyone about his grandfather. Seeing that the old eunuch was so approachable, he said, "You don't even know about my grandfather. Don't tell others about my grandfather."

Called Di Qing!"

"Ah!" The old eunuch was shocked!

"Humph, how about it, it's awesome~" Tong Xiao said while playing with the clay doll in his hand. He didn't notice the old eunuch's surprised look. "So, your mother is the daughter of General Di Qing?" [

Tong Xiao raised his head. He looked at the eunuch and felt that he did not have any malicious intentions: "My father told me the story of my grandfather's war." He thought about it carefully.

The old eunuch stood up, opened the door and looked in the direction of the main room, with mixed feelings in his heart. After so many years, who can remember that in the early years of Baoyuan, four years before and after the war between Song Dynasty and Xixia, there was a supervisor in the imperial court who cooperated with Di Qing

After dozens of battles, the supervisor sent by the imperial court had become sworn friends with Di Qing.

The supervisor of the imperial court was a chamberlain. Later, the supervisor was given the title of Zuo Qiji, but he was still a chamberlain and became the general manager of the internal affairs. Until he learned that Di Qing was framed and Zhao Shu wanted to win over him, he ignored him.

The meaning of Zhao Shu.

In other words, he had already seen through the officialdom and just wanted to serve the emperor well. In order to protect the imperial edict and Yuexia's mother and son, he hid the edict. Unexpectedly, Yuexia turned out to be the daughter of an old friend. How could he not feel emotional.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Tong Xiao walked up to him and asked, "Old man, are you angry?"

The eunuch had met Mrs. Di Qing in Fenzhou back then. No wonder the eunuch felt that Wang Pang's wife looked familiar. The old eunuch bent down and said softly to Tong Xiao: "Go and ask your mother, there is a messenger named Zuo Qiji."

Shi Zhicong, does she know?"

Seeing the seriousness of the old man's words, Tong Xiao hurriedly ran back to the room, called her mother when she entered the room, ran to Yuexia, and whispered: "Mom, the old man is so mysterious today. He asked me to ask you, do you know?"

I don’t know that there is a person named Shi Zhicong, the envoy of Zuo Qiji.”

Yuexia stood up after hearing this. Why did this name sound so familiar to him? Suddenly she remembered that when she was in Chenzhou, her father had told him about several people before his death. He also said: "I have never been like these people."

My friend said, he just feels sorry that his daughter has not been with him since he was a child. In the future, he should not ask for help unless it is absolutely necessary."

One of these people was Shi Zhicong. His father mentioned that he was the chief eunuch. Could it be that he was the old eunuch who was guarding him?

Tong Xiao was startled when he saw Yuexia's expression was strange, and thought he had said something wrong. He hurriedly said: "Mom, I told him that my grandpa is Di Qing."

"How do you, a kid, know this?" Yuexia asked in surprise. She had never told Tong Xiao about this.

"My father told me that my grandpa was very brave!" Tong Xiao murmured. He said softly: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't say it again."

Yuexia almost shed tears. Her husband was so grateful for his late father, and she was even more moved. Seeing Tong Xiao's aggrieved look, she comforted her: "Xiao'er is right, I don't blame you, go and invite that old man."

.”

Shi Zhicong was invited into the room by Yuexia. Yuexia was busy greeting Shi Zhicong, but Shi Zhicong stopped him and said, "Oh, I really didn't expect that the daughter of an old friend would suffer like this." After saying that, he remembered that Renzong had also passed away, and he felt sad in his heart.

Yuexia said to Tong Xiao: "Xiao'er, you can let Mr. Shi take a look at the jade your father gave you."

"Oh!" Tong Xiao said, taking out the jade hidden in his clothes from his arms. Following Wang Pang's example, he also hung the jade around his neck and put it inside his clothes.

Shi Zhicong had seen Di Qing always wear this jade. Although it was inlaid with gold, he recognized it. "Tong Xiao, go play in the courtyard for a while. If anyone comes, come back and say, I have something important to say to you."

Mother said."

Tong Xiao looked at Yuexia, who nodded, turned around and left the room.

Shi Zhicong sighed and said: "I am such an eunuch, and I am respected by Emperor Renzong, so I know that I have been favored. For so many years, I have lived in the palace to serve the emperor without caring about worldly affairs. Alas, I only know that Wang Shilang is Di

The general’s beloved disciple, but he didn’t know that the girl was the daughter of General Di.”[

Yuexia said softly: "Many people don't know about this. Back then, my mother was wronged and was accused of having witchcraft that knew things she didn't know, so my father left my mother. Later, in order to protect me, my father and husband also refused to let me

Let it be known that I am my biological father’s daughter.”

Shi Zhicong nodded. He also knew a little bit about what happened back then. After a period of silence in the room, Yuexia said: "Since Mr. Shi is an old friend of his biological father, I have something to ask of you."

Shi Zhicong hurriedly said: "Girl, don't be polite, just tell me if you have anything."

Yuexia looked outside the door. She knew that Zhao Shu had a grudge with Wang Pang. Now that Zhao Shu had ascended the throne and became the emperor, for the sake of the emperor's face, it was impossible to let him go easily. But she believed that as long as he

When Wang Pang comes back, everything will be fine. Now she only feels wronged by Tong Xiao.

"Manager Shi, Tong Xiao is our adopted son. It would be a pity if this child continues like this. I wonder if you can think of a way to save this child."

Shi Zhicong was very moved after hearing this. What Yuexia asked for was not for herself: "Okay, I can promise you this."

Yuexia smiled, stood up and bowed slightly. Only Tong Xiao could settle down, and she settled her worries.

Shi Zhicong said: "Girl, you can rest assured about the matter of Wang Shilang. I heard that he has returned from Liao Kingdom, but was sent to Goryeo again. Alas, tell the truth, girl, the war in Goryeo is tense now, and the emperor is afraid that Wang Shilang will not do it."

Only if she is willing to go will the girl be placed under house arrest here."

After Shi Zhicong finished speaking, he looked at Yuexia. Yuexia had never asked him about Wang Pang's news, which made Shi Zhicong a little strange.

But Yuexia smiled and said: "Thank you, Manager Shi. I think things are probably not that simple." Yuexia knew this matter well. If he just wanted to send Wang Pang to Goryeo, Zhao Shu would not have to go through so many troubles, and Yuexia was getting more and more

I felt that the reason why the prince imprisoned him was related to the illusion that Wang Pangzong told him.

No wonder Yue Xia thought so. Zhao Shu interrogated Yue Xia several times about Wang Pang's sorcery. Yuexia would always think of what Wang Pang had told her. She believed that her husband did not know sorcery, because she herself had

She had the ability to sense other people's thoughts, so Yuexia understood Wang Pang more and more.

Yuexia's words gave Shi Zhicong an illusion. He thought of the edict. When there was no movement outside, he whispered: "It's not simple. The prince is worried that Wang Shilang will compete with him for the world in the future."

Yuexia was shocked. She also heard Wang Pang say that the Songwen Sword Wang Pang wore was a sword of disobedience. Could it be caused by that sword?

Seeing Yue Xia's surprised look, Shi Zhicong comforted Yue Xia: "Don't worry, girl, I have asked the son of an old friend to inform Wang Shilang about this matter and asked him to handle things with caution. Although we each perform our duties, out of our friendship with our old friend, there will still be some trouble.

Come and go. I will go and think of a solution right away. Miss Yuexia will wait patiently."

Shi Zhicong left Yuexia's room and returned to his own residence. He walked back and forth in the room. What should he do with this matter? Zhao Shu forced him to hand over the will. He said that he had entrusted it to others. If he was killed right away,

The edict will be made known to the world. Zhao Shu then ordered him to guard Yuexia's mother and son, and sent him away as the chief minister.

Shi Zhicong thought of the Queen Mother, and the next day Shi Zhicong led Tong Xiao to see the Queen Mother. As soon as he saw the Queen Mother, Shi Zhicong fell to the ground and burst into tears. The Queen Mother was confused by Shi Zhicong's crying, and hurriedly ordered someone to help Shi Zhicong up and asked

: "General Manager Shi has served the emperor for many years. If you have any grievances, please feel free to do so in the future."

Shi Zhicong wiped his tears and said: "Queen Mother Qi, I am a eunuch who has the power of fertility, but now I am old and weak. Recently, I saw this child elf, who is not as smart as I was when I was young. I want to accept this child.

I sincerely request the Queen Mother to issue an edict to fulfill my old minister’s wish.”

The Queen Mother was delighted when she heard this. How smart was Shi Zhicong back then? Seeing how loyal he was, this was not a big deal: "Well, what does this mean? I will give you this child." The Queen Mother looked at Tong Xiao and asked:

"May I have your name?"

Tong Xiao has heard what Shi Zhicong said just now. Although he thinks this uncle is very good, he has a biological father and an adopted father, so how can he recognize his adopted father again? "My name is Tong Xiao, I have a father, and this uncle is very good.

Well, can you not be his son but his apprentice?"

The Queen Mother laughed even more after hearing this, and even the maids beside her laughed: "You are a child, and you want to be the apprentice of General Manager Shi, but you have to purify yourself?"

Tong Xiao shook her head: "What is cleansing? Is it a bath?" The maid next to the Queen Mother smiled and bent down, and the Queen Mother also covered her mouth. For so many days, it was rare to have such a little guy to make the Queen Mother happy.

Shi Zhicong was angry and helpless: "Empress Dowager, Tong Xiao is too young and doesn't know how to cleanse himself. It's better to wait until he is older and let him make his own decision, otherwise people will say that the royal family bullies the little Tong Zhi." [

The Queen Mother stopped laughing: "General Manager Shi is right! Tong Xiao, I will decree that this old man will be your master, but you can decide on your own purification matters in the future, okay?"

Tong Xiao was overjoyed when she heard this: "Thank you, Queen Mother, but I have a request."

Huo, such a child under ten years old, dared to make demands of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was in a better mood now and asked with a smile: "Come and listen!"

"I wonder if my mother and I can go home..."

The Queen Mother shook her head, she couldn't make the decision on this matter: "This, no, but you can change your request."

Tong Xiao was a little disappointed, but he had another idea. He said, "I don't want to be called Tong Xiao anymore. I can't protect my mother!"

"Oh?" The Queen Mother looked at the child and said, "What do you want to be called?"
