Just when this tragic but lucky child was about to turn five, something unexpected happened that disrupted everyone's plans!
A secret that everyone had tried hard to keep for nearly five years was revealed.
The culprit was a new little eunuch who wanted to climb up the ladder. In order to gain power, he did not hesitate to attack such a young child. When Concubine Wan found out, she was horrified and furious! She personally led the people with murderous intent
Miss Chaoji's residence came to kill! Everyone is in despair! Years of persistence will eventually come to nothing!
However, at this critical moment, someone rushed to Miss Ji's place and took the child away. When Concubine Wan arrived, she only saw Miss Ji with a look of guilt and shock. She ordered her men to search the little girl.
The child was not found in the house, so he glared angrily. He raised his hand and slapped the little eunuch who had told the story! Then he dragged his fat body away angrily.
Since ancient times, those who love to snitch have had a bad end. A few days later, the body of the little eunuch was found in the well of the harem. It seemed that he had suffered a lot before his death, and there were traces of whipping all over his body.
Du Fei gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! You guys did this neatly! How about it? The master over at Dongchang didn't make things difficult for you?"
The Four Saints of Kongtong were all wearing the royal uniforms of Baihu. Leng Yifeng, the leader, said: "You are wrong. Master Xi does not mean to blame you. If you go to higher places, he will naturally be happy when you become a successful person."
, but if he gets too close to you at this time, it will be detrimental to you. These are his original words. He said that you only need the trust of one person now, and that person is the emperor. He will see everything you do.
In his eyes, if you are too close to Mr. Du, he will doubt you! Okay, Mr. Du, we shouldn’t stay too long. Let’s go first. If you need help, come to us anytime!”
"Thank you, everyone, I understand~" After Du Fei sent them away, he felt that a big stone that had been blocking his heart fell to the ground. It turned out that he judged the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, and Shang Ming always saw it more clearly than him.
Much more profound, he admired Shang Ming even more.
But there is still a mystery in his heart: Who took the child away at the critical moment? Who can risk his life and risk everything to protect the child at such a critical moment?
But what surprised him was that all the eyes and ears in his inner harem could not find any news about the child! How could it be possible? The harem was full of informants. A grasshopper could not reach him even if it lost its wings. How could such a big child hide?
Where to go there?
A week later, the old eunuch Zhang Min hurried over and told Du Fei the whereabouts of the child. It turned out that the child was taken to the cold palace by the deposed Empress Zhang and raised by her herself.
This is the best of both worlds. Although Queen Zhang is the deposed queen, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. In addition, she has a prominent family background, so it is no problem to raise a child. Her purpose of raising children is of course very
She is not innocent, she will do anything that is not good for Concubine Wan.
But everyone in the palace who paid attention to the child was very pleased, including his mother, that he could continue to live after all.
Moreover, the Cold Palace was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to enter (nor were willing to enter). Instead, the child came to a safer environment and no longer had to hide in fear.
Everyone's tense hearts relaxed~~The harem also calmed down~Every once in a while, Du Fei would send people to try his best to transfer some things for the children to the hands of Queen Zhang. He knew how important this child was to the Ming Dynasty.
Meaning, he didn't want this child to be like his father, who would become eccentric due to the changes in his growing environment.
Everything was back on track, and almost everyone knew about the existence of this child, except the emperor, concubines, and the empress dowager. Until one day~~~
Concubine Wan went to the cold palace angrily. Although no one told her in the past few years, she finally concluded from various clues that someone was deceiving her!
But she was in vain again. As soon as she moved her buttocks, Du Fei, who was well-informed, arranged for the child to be transferred to another palace maid's room.
But Concubine Wan still refused to give up. She led a large group of eunuch guards and shouted that she would turn the harem upside down!
Zhang Min also got the news, but he had nothing to do: it was his turn to comb the emperor's hair today.
The emperor was not aware of the anxious look of the man combing his hair. He looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was sparse and his complexion was sallow and shiny, like a man over fifty years old.
He sighed: "I have just reached forty, and I am already so old! What a shame! I don't even have a child yet!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Min, who was combing his hair behind him, knelt down with a plop: "You have a son! He is in the harem!"
The emperor looked at Zhang Min with a tragic face and knew that he was not telling lies: "Go on!"
So Zhang Min told the emperor all the ins and outs of the incident. After the explanation, before the emperor could get angry, he picked up the gold nugget that he had prepared and swallowed it in one gulp! He ran out of breath in less than an hour and three seconds.
.
The emperor who was about to get angry and execute him was suddenly stunned! He understood very well that why would a person lie if he was not even afraid of death? What good would it do him to lie? He arrived at the harem tremblingly and saw the man who was lowering his head.
Children playing secretly in a short hut~~
Tears burst out of his eyes! He hugged the child's little body! He looked at the child's face, nose, and eyes. Everything was so similar to him!
This is my child! There is absolutely no mistake! He cried loudly and hugged the child, and ran into the yard under the shocked eyes of everyone in the harem: "I have a child!!! I have a son!!"
"
After learning all this, Concubine Wan was furious! Everyone was deceiving her! She immediately sent someone to kill Miss Ji!
When Du Fei learned the news and went to rescue her, it was already too late~~~ He didn't expect that Concubine Wan would be so vicious when the incident was revealed!
Now, the emperor should see her true face clearly? But what surprised Du Fei was that the emperor still favored Concubine Wan! He seemed to have selective amnesia. The girl Ji who gave birth to her child had to die and take risks.
He seemed to not even remember the death of Zhang Min who told him the truth!
Du Fei was angry for the first time! He felt unworthy of the death of Zhang Min, who had silently heard about his low status but refused to bury his conscience! He felt unworthy for the mother named Miss Ji who could not watch her child grow up! He felt unworthy of it.
Knowing that if this continues, the child will still be killed alive by Concubine Wan under their eyes! After burying Zhang Min's body, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet to fight! No matter what, he had to keep this child!
He knew it was useless to tell the emperor, so he found the old lady and told her everything.
After all, Queen Mother Zhou was a person who had seen the world go through many trials and tribulations. She did not yell in anger or act hysterically. She just calmly issued a decree and sent the child to her Cining Palace, and no one else was allowed to get close to the child!
Du Fei knew that his child was safe from now on, but he was in danger.
Concubine Wan has already regarded herself as a thorn in the flesh!
