"Your Majesty, who are you looking at through me?"
Cheng Hanyan saw the emperor staring at him for a long time, without speaking for a long time, and finally asked out of anger.
The emperor nodded, but did not hide anything.
"Yes, you look very much like my beloved concubine, but it's a pity that the beauty is not here..."
The emperor sighed slightly, with a somewhat sad expression on his face, and did not say the rest.
Cheng Hanyan did not ask further questions.
"It is my blessing to be similar to the emperor's beloved concubines."
The emperor nodded in agreement with Cheng Hanyan's words, then turned around and remembered the purpose of asking Mr. An to call Cheng Hanyan.
"If I remember correctly, your name is Cheng Hanyan?"
"Yes!" Cheng Hanyan said respectfully.
"Which one is getting married? Both parents are still alive. How many people are there in the family?"
Back then, Concubine Chun was a woman he rescued from drowning when he was traveling abroad. When she woke up, she had long forgotten where her home was.
Judging from his clothes, his family must be prosperous. But he fell into the sea for some unknown reason and floated for a long time holding a piece of driftwood.
When he called people to rescue him, he lost all his memory due to blood clots in his brain. He forgot his life experience, his last name, and where his family was?
The emperor saw that Cheng Hanyan and Chun Fei looked so similar, and wondered whether Cheng Hanyan might be Chun Fei's natal family.
Cheng Hanyan was a little confused when he heard the emperor ask these words, but he still answered the emperor honestly.
"Hui Huang's parents passed away at an early age, leaving only him and his younger brother to live in his uncle's house. Later, he married a wife and had a son, and took his younger brother to live with him at home."
"Last year there was a drought, and the mother's family of my wife and children also lived with me. Now, the number of people in my family is not small."
After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But looking at Cheng Hanyan's face that looked similar to that of Chun Fei, I couldn't believe that Cheng Hanyan and Chun Fei had nothing to do with each other.
"Then when your parents were alive, did they ever say that there were older sisters missing at home?"
Cheng Hanyan shook his head and said, "No!"
The emotion on the emperor's face faded, and he looked a little tired.
"I understand, you can go down first."
The emperor waved his hand and told Cheng Hanyan to go back.
After Cheng Hanyan walked out of the hall, Eunuch An came up, holding a freshly brewed Yuqian Longjing cup and placed it in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, many years have passed since the incident of Concubine Chun. It is not easy to find the relatives of Concubine Chun. Now that General Fu Yong has a breakthrough, why not follow up on his life experience?"
After hearing what Eunuch An said, the emperor felt very relieved.
"Yes, I have been searching for so many years, but there is no information at all. Now that we have a breakthrough, it is the best news."
The emperor was immersed in his own thoughts for a long time, and finally raised his head to look at Eunuch An.
"An Huaihai, do you think the eldest prince whom Concubine Chun gave birth to to me really died in that fire? For so many years, I have never believed that Concubine Chun would poison other concubines, and out of fear of guilt, she would bury her child in the sea of fire."
"Concubine Chun is so kind that she is not willing to step on an ant to death. She is one of the few people in the world with a Buddha heart. She is clean and pure and never kills..."
The expression on the emperor's face was very gloomy. He pinched his eyebrows tiredly. Eunuch An immediately stepped forward to help him press his temples.
Regarding what the emperor said, he acted as if he had not heard anything and remained silent.
Where can he discuss the affairs of the harem?
Concubine Chun was pregnant with Liujia and struggled to keep the fetus alive. When the prince was eight months old, the queen was poisoned and almost died.
It was Concubine He, the mother of the second prince, who accused Concubine Chun of poisoning and murdering the queen. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
Before things could come to light, Concubine Chun, who was under house arrest, was frightened, fell down, and was about to give birth.
Before the emperor could be happy and just sent someone to find the imperial doctor to deliver the baby, he heard that Concubine Chun committed suicide out of fear and burned the palace.
The newly born little prince was burned to death in the palace together with Concubine Chun.
This incident happened suddenly and was full of doubts. Emperor Long Yan was furious and grieved, and ordered people to thoroughly investigate the matter of the empress and pure concubine.
However, he never thought that at this time, the border vassal states were repeatedly attacking, and there were no available people in the court, so the emperor had no choice but to personally lead Feng Yi and others to resist the invasion of foreign states.
It was already a year after the defeat of the Fan Bang Kingdom and the regaining of the lost territory. After the emperor returned to the palace, he was busy sitting on the throne and stabilizing the situation of the court.
After all the dust has settled, five years later, it is even more difficult to find out the doubts about Concubine Chun's death that year.
In the end, the matter came to an end.
However, this matter also became a thorn in the emperor's heart.
"Cheng Hanyan...Yan..."
The emperor's fingers were tapping rhythmically on the table in the royal study. He closed his eyes tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Eunuch An was right behind her, remaining silent.
Five days later, Cheng Hanyan was named General Zhongyong by the emperor, given a sixth-grade official position, and built a large mansion in Beijing. The news that it was the residence of General Zhongyong spread to Xianping County.
Many people went to Qianweiju with congratulatory gifts to give Song Yutong congratulatory gifts and make their presence felt in front of Song Dong's family.
The status of the young master of Liujiang has been rising with the tide, and he has a feeling that one person has achieved enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven.
Everyone knows that Young Master Liujiang stood up and took action when rumors about Song Yutong's family began.
They are as close to the Song Dong family as siblings, and can enter and exit the back kitchen of the Song Dong family's residence at will.
Many people came to Young Master Liu Jiang and begged him to speak in front of Song Yutong.
Even if you can't make good friends with Song Dong's family in the end, it's still good to be able to hook up with the young master Liujiang.
For several days in a row, Qianweiju had an extremely large number of people coming and going.
Shopkeeper Yu made up his mind to take Song Yutong as his disciple, so he actually stood outside Qianweiju for many days.
Regardless of wind or rain, I stood from day to night. After the second watch, I went back and the fifth watch came again.
In just a few days, I have lost a lot of weight, and I am still very dark, but those eyes are becoming more and more energetic and determined.
Sometimes Song Yuqian couldn't stand it, so she would give him some food and water to persuade him to go back.
But no matter what, shopkeeper Yu can't be allowed to move even half a step.
After listening to Song Yuqian's words, Song Yutong felt a little more unbearable. From this behavior, it can be seen that the shopkeeper is determined and must do what he has made up his mind.
It stands to reason that people who are not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or supercilious looks can show the greatest sincerity. People who have stood at the door of Qianweiju for several days are not like people with too many thoughts.
There may be another reason for what happened back then.
Song Yutong thought for a while, then listened to her eldest sister's suggestion and let the shopkeeper come in to talk.
At night, while Qianweiju was cleaning, Song Yuqian called shopkeeper Yu in.
