Mother Chen looked at Zhao Luoyang carefully.

When the young prince was found at home, she did not go with him and did not know the situation at that time. Later, she listened to the discussions of other people in the house and secretly questioned the Zhao family from the bottom of her heart.

Now it seems that someone deliberately released those words, and the reason is naturally very simple, that is, they are afraid that the prince will be thinking about the interests of the Zhao family.

Thinking of this, Mother Chen can't help but feel sad. She doesn't know the inside story and doesn't know how the young prince has been here all these years.

The story of the young prince's exile began with the Three Kings' Rebellion after Taizu's death.

The late emperor was the fourth son of Taizu, and he was titled King Duan. After Taizu passed away, the eldest son, King Xian, ascended the throne. This new emperor was already worried about his younger brothers, and there were also treacherous and sycophantic men. In addition, the king of Wu and the king of Yue were indeed

There was some secret plan, and the new emperor got some evidence and immediately took action against his three younger brothers.

The King of Wu and the King of Yue were well prepared and could handle it, so the late emperor had no choice but to take his whole family and run away in a hurry. The old prince was the late emperor's cousin. As another branch of the Xiao family, he was usually on good terms with the late emperor and could not bear to see him.

In this way, at first, he secretly helped the late emperor, but after being reported, he simply joined the army with the late emperor.

At the beginning, the late emperor and the old prince suffered several defeats, and their families were displaced. They encountered encirclement and suppression by the court on the road, and the late emperor's wife died trying to protect several children.

According to the current Princess Yu, the biological mother of the young prince, she almost died for the sake of her three children.

However, they still failed to protect the people, and the two children of the late emperor and the young prince were kidnapped by the people of the court.

Later, the imperial generals threatened the lives of three children to force the late emperor and the old prince to show up.

Naturally, the late emperor and the old prince refused to be captured without mercy. Within a few days, the bodies of the late emperor's two children were hung on the tower.

Everyone thought that the three children were dead, but they did not expect that the young prince could escape death.

Later, the late emperor and the old prince annexed the troops of the King of Yue, and the situation gradually reversed. The two went straight to the capital, expecting a fierce battle. Unexpectedly, the new emperor was injured by an arrow when he personally conquered the king of Wu, and the former emperor had not yet arrived at the city.

He died, and the late emperor ascended the throne as a matter of course.

The Wei family, who was hiding the young prince, heard the news and knew that the old prince had been named the Prince of Yu. She felt that she could get rich by relying on the young prince, so she secretly found someone in the palace and asked the palace to exchange a silver note for the young prince.

Thanks to this, the prince found the whereabouts of the young prince and brought him back to the palace.

When the young prince returned home, he was almost nine years old and his appearance had changed a lot. The old prince was fine, but the princess was worried in various ways, fearing that the children around Wei were not her own flesh and blood.

He didn't even go to greet the young prince in person.

When the young prince returned to the palace, the concubine was still close to her lost son on the surface, but she also had many complaints secretly.

He is nine years old, and apart from recognizing some words when he was a child, he knows nothing about the rest. He also has many mistakes that he has learned from others. The rich and beautiful people in the house don't like the food, but they want some wild vegetable cakes.

Not only that, but I still miss that family in the village.

The concubine had already given birth to her eldest daughter at that time, and she was pregnant with another one. She felt that her eldest son should not be like this. Even children from ordinary noble families had already opened their minds, but the young prince was still acting like this.

He looked stupid and refused to speak on weekdays. He suspected that he had injured his head during the war, so he found the best doctor in the capital to treat the young prince.

Mother Chen also went to take charge of the young prince's yard at that time. It was at that time that she heard that the young prince was bewitched by people named Zhao in the village. Those people were not at all as good as they appeared.

When the prince brought the young prince back, he gave the family a lot of money. The family found out that the young prince might have an unusual background. They repeatedly asked for things, and finally angered the dowager, who gave him a large sum of money.

He sent the family away with money, and also tried to get the family to relocate.

In short, the young prince is not allowed to meet that family again in the future.

At that time, Mother Chen felt that the concubine also had a loving mother's heart, and that the young prince was still young and could not discern people's hearts.

After walking all the way, I realized that some people and things are not what they seem on the surface. A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, but people are not always like that.

Especially after the second son born to the concubine died in infancy, she felt that the young prince had killed her own brother through force, and she became increasingly resentful towards the young prince.

After she gradually got to know the concubine clearly, she began to question many of the things the concubine said.

After meeting the Zhao family, I can only feel that this is indeed the case.

If the Zhao family had really taken money from the palace, they would not be what they are today.

Not to mention that the Zhao family also led people to rescue Zhao Jingyun and moved to Taozhou with their own ability and strength.

Such a good girl will never be forgotten by anyone.

Mother Chen now only hopes that the young prince can get better and that this girl from the Zhao family can always be by his side.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Mrs. Chen's mind.

In Zhao Luoyang's eyes, Mother Chen was worried about Mr. Wang, so she was a little absent-minded.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Is there anything else I can do to help?"

Mother Chen shook her head and said, "I want to make medicine for the young master. If you have time, can you talk to me?"

Zhao Luoyang naturally agreed.

The two of them entered the kitchen. Mother Chen picked up the cattail leaf fan and gently fanned the fire.

Zhao Luoyang said: "I heard that Prince Wang was injured?"

Mother Chen nodded: "My young master suffered a disaster when he was a child, and his body and bones are not in good condition. This time his vitality was also damaged. I don't know when he will recover."

Hearing this, Zhao Luoyang said: "I heard a few words from Mr. Wang before. He was away for a few years."

Although Mother Chen didn't know what the young master had mentioned to the Zhao family girl, it was obvious that the Zhao family girl didn't know the young master's identity yet, so she couldn't tell the truth.

Thinking of this, Mother Chen nodded.

Zhao Luoyang then asked: "How old was the young master at that time?"

When Shi Jiu heard this, he knew that Zhao Luoyang was trying to determine whether he was a mute.

Mother Chen thought for a while: "I was out there when I was about six or seven years old, and I didn't find it until I was nine years old."

Zhao Luoyang felt something in his heart. He was indeed the same age as the little mute.

There are so many similarities between these two people that Zhao Luoyang would not easily conclude that they are not related.

Mother Chen sighed again: "It's not easy for my young master. The family is too strict with him. Because he has been away for several years, he has to learn all kinds of rules and etiquette when he comes back..."

"I remember that in the first year, I invited seven or eight gentlemen. He would get up before dawn every day. After everyone fell asleep, he was still reading under the lamp."

The image of the little mute when he was picked up appeared in front of Zhao Luoyang's eyes. At that time, she thought that maybe people would also be happy after being fed and clothed.

At that time, she was just a child's worry. She felt that the little mute's parents had not come, and she wondered if the little mute's life would be better.

Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said in their minds: "I don't want Prince Wang to be a little mute now."

"Why?" Shi Jiu was silent for a moment before asking.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Actually, I hope that after the little mute goes back, he will gradually forget about me. Even if he thinks of me occasionally, he will be just like me and miss me a little."

"In that case, there must be someone better around the little mute."

When Shi Jiu heard this, he suddenly understood what Zhao Luoyang meant.

Shi Jiu said: "Don't you often mention the little mute?"

"How can I be the same as the little mute? I had a disease before and couldn't speak," Zhao Luoyang said. "There is no one else around me except my family and the little mute. Of course I will remember the little mute."

"When the little mute was in the village, the people who raised him beat and scolded him all day long. He didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. How could his life be as good as mine? What if he kept wanting to come to me after he came home?

We can see what his situation will be like at home."

Shi Jiu couldn't help but was stunned. He had never thought about this before. Maybe no one except Zhao Luoyang had helped him think about it.

He now wanted to sit with Zhao Luoyang, just like when he was in the Zhao family's kitchen, so close to her, and listen to her words.

Mother Chen also thought of the sourness and couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes with her sleeves: "My young master went to the army when he was fifteen years old. Maybe that's why he didn't take good care of himself."

Zhao Luoyang comforted Mother Chen: "Didn't Mr. Wang come to Taozhou to recuperate? Mr. Wang is still young. If you take good care of yourself this time, you will be healthy."

Mother Chen nodded repeatedly: "I'd like to thank you for your kind words. It would be great if you could come around more often in the future. We don't have many people from home. If you come over, we can talk."

Zhao Luoyang said: "We still have to work on Zhuangzi. When we have time, I will come to find you."

Mother Chen was very happy and had a smile on her face.

After the medicine was boiled, Mother Chen brought it to Mr. Wang, and Zhao Luoyang also stopped in front of the main house.

It seems that it is impossible to see Mr. Wang today. When Mr. Wang gets better, there may be a chance...

Zhao Luoyang thought about walking back. It seemed that the Wang family would not leave for a while. Before they left, she would definitely be able to find out whether Mr. Wang was a mute.

In his mind, Shi Jiu said: "Don't forget to tell Mr. Zhao about Ah Shu's case."

Zhao Luoyang nodded. Now that Shi Jiu was back, and with Shi Jiu helping her, she immediately felt much more relaxed.
