After Tang Ji left Qingshui Garden, he didn't stay much. He left the imperial city all the way, but met Li Yu at the palace gate.
"Why are you here?" Tang Ji approached and asked casually.
"Hey, I didn't know you were called into the palace until I saw Lao Cheng, so I thought I'd wait for you to go back together." Li Yu explained with a smile, and recounted to him everything that had just happened in the morning.
After hearing this, Tang Ji nodded slightly. No wonder Li Chonghan was arrested by Dali Temple. He thought that the emperor really wanted to kill his family because of what happened last night. But now he had more important things that needed to be verified. He didn't think too much and looked around.
I looked around and saw a restaurant not far away, so I walked straight over.
"Hey, I've done so much for you this morning, why don't you even say thank you?" Li Yu looked at his back and quickly chased after him.
Seeing this, Cheng Tie and Song Xiao had no choice but to stop the carriage on the spot and follow them closely.
Little did they know, in the corner across the street, Youdao's eyes were fixed on several people.
Soon, Li Yu followed Tang Ji into the private room on the second floor of the restaurant. He originally thought that he would treat her to a meal to express his gratitude. Unexpectedly, the latter did not order any dishes, but instead asked the waiter to bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
, looking at Tang Ji who was grinding his ink, he wondered: "What are you going to do?"
Tang Ji didn't reply. He quickly rubbed the ink with an ink block, then picked up a small brush and dipped some ink into it, and then sketched it on the paper.
His painting skills are average, but he can often see Jiang Ran painting, and he knows a lot of basic things. In addition, he can clearly project a certain picture in his mind. The picture quality is at the movie level. Within a moment,
A figure appeared on the rice paper.
Li Yu blinked to make sure he had read correctly, and asked, "Why are you painting my father?"
Hearing this, Tang Ji also stopped writing and raised the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, as he thought, the old guy was the emperor, not Bai Chang, the chamberlain. He didn't doubt it at first, until he found out that the other person seemed to be talking about governing the country.
Zhi Zhi was very interested in him, and he deduced it based on his similar appearance, behavior and other characteristics to Li Yu and Li Yue.
Tang Ji didn't know what trick Emperor Ning was playing, but since the other party wanted to play, he was happy to play a supporting role. After all, chatting with "Bai Chang" would definitely be much easier than the emperor.
He shook his head, put away his thoughts, and handed the rice paper to Li Yu: "Congratulations, you are my biological child."
After listening to his words, Li Yu's face was filled with questions. He stretched out his hand and touched Tang Ji's forehead: "It's not hot. Are you suffering from hysteria?"
Tang Ji slapped his hand away, stood up and stretched, suddenly feeling tired, he planned to go back to catch up on his sleep, and walked towards the door.
"Hey, you don't want to invite me to dinner?" Li Yu asked.
When talking about eating, Tang Ji couldn't help but think about the fact that he was fined a month's salary. His salary was gone, so what kind of food could he eat? He was about to draw a pie for Li Yu when he heard a noise coming from outside the door.
"Stop, if you go any further, don't blame me for being rude!"
Hearing the sound, Tang Ji opened the door and saw Song Xiao's hand lying across the door. The person he blocked was a young woman wearing a beige shirt. She looked about thirty years old.
She was pretty and pretty. After looking at each other, she found that there was a white light in the other person's eyes, causing him to quickly say: "Sister, are you okay?"
While speaking, Li Yu had folded the dry painting and put it into his pocket, walked to the door, glanced back and forth at the two of them, widened his eyes in an instant, and exclaimed: "No,
No, maybe Tang Ji, you...just handle it well, I won't tell Sister Jiang."
Tang Ji was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and was about to continue asking, but he didn't expect that the other person knelt directly on the ground.
"This slave has finally found you, young master." Bai Han said with a sob.
Tang Ji turned around and looked at Li Yu, then squatted down and said softly: "Sister, did you admit the wrong person?"
"You will never mistake me. The young master looks very much like the young lady. Young master, slave, I have finally found you." Bai Han raised her head and tears fell down her cheeks to the floor, but she seemed a little excited.
.
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. The old man from the Yang family he met earlier also said that he looked very similar to his mother. It seemed that the woman in front of him did not recognize the wrong person. He found that there were passers-by outside the door watching the excitement, so he stood up and said:
"Come in first."
Later, Tang Ji brought Bai Han into the room.
To prevent any accidents, Song Xiao also followed in, holding the sword across his chest with both hands and staring closely at the woman in front of him.
Tang Ji sat back on the round stool, picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water and handed it over: "Sit down first, what's your name?"
"I don't dare." Bai Han bowed and shook his head, then wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with his sleeves, and continued: "My name is Bai Han, and I am the lady's personal maid."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of taking the water cup, Tang Ji had no choice but to put the cup on the table, think about it carefully, and then asked: "Um, Aunt Bai, the lady you are talking about is Yang Shuli, right?"
If after chatting for a long time, the other party still recognizes the wrong person, it would be really embarrassing, so it’s better to ask clearly.
"Yes, young master no longer has to doubt the slave's identity. It is impossible for the slave to identify the wrong person." Bai Han emphasized again.
Tang Ji nodded slightly and asked, "How did you find me?"
Bai Han took a deep breath and then explained: "Since the young lady left, the servant has been driven out of the Yang family. Over the years, she has done some small business in the city to survive. A few days ago, I heard that she was working in the Yang Mansion.
Sister said that you are back and have become a high official in the court. My slave has been waiting in the city for the past two days. I could have recognized the young master yesterday. However, the young master left in a hurry and I did not catch up with you. Today I was finally caught by my slave.
The wait is here.”
Hearing this, Li Yu nodded. He was in a hurry to return home to change clothes and attend the banquet yesterday, so he did not stop outside the palace gate.
Tang Ji felt a little ashamed, mainly because he didn't expect anyone to be looking for him. He shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he asked again: "Aunt Bai, can you tell me what happened back then and how my mother died?"
After listening to his question, Bai Han's tears that had just been suppressed flowed out again, sobbed twice, and then said: "I remember it was the twelfth year of Dingwu, when the eldest young master Yang Tianchang suddenly proposed a marriage for the young lady, and the other party was Taifu Zhao.
However, after she made it clear to the master and the two young masters, she was unanimously opposed and locked up by the master. For her own happiness, the miss followed Mr. Tang and escaped.
I left for six years, until the third year of Yuan Qi, the young lady was suddenly brought back from outside by the master. At the same time, you, who had just turned four years old, came back. But only one month later, young lady, young lady, she was burned to death by Yang Tianchang
In the room, Mr. Tang took you to escape from Kyoto, and I don’t know what happened next.”
Hearing this, Tang Ji clenched his fists with both hands and gritted his teeth: "Did Yang Tianchang kill my mother?"
