spring boudoir secret

When Zhao Mingruo said these words, his attitude was stern and even contained murderous intent.

If it was true what Nanny Chen said, it was Fang who killed her mother, she would definitely want them to pay for it.

She had no intention of hiding Yan Huaian's plans. After all, just as he said, the two of them would get along together in the future, at least for five years.

She couldn't hide the prince's wisdom and insight, so she might as well admit it openly, and at least the prince would respect her for being honest.

"I'll help you.

Soon, Yan Huaian added, "Whatever you want, I will help you."

Does this mean that no matter what he does in the future, Yan Huaian will stand behind him?
In all her life, she has never encountered such unconditional trust without asking why.

Never.

Inexplicably, Zhao Mingruo's eyes were a little more moved, and the look he looked at Yan Huaian was no longer as polite and distant as before.

Yan Huaian seemed to be considering it, "Mingruo, can I ask you a question?"

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

"Do you still remember what happened before you were found back at the Changning Palace?"

Zhao Mingruo was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Yan Huaian meant, "My lord, are you talking about what happened to me when I was lost as a child?"

"I offended you."

"It's not that, it's because I was negligent and I should have fully explained everything." Zhao Mingruo frowned and said truthfully, "It's just that it's been a long time and I don't remember many things clearly."

"All I know is that my adoptive mother and adoptive father's surname is Tian, ​​and their family is poor. They have always lived in the countryside. It was by chance that I followed my adoptive parents into the city. The housekeeper of the family farmer saw that I looked familiar, as if he had seen me before before noticing it. .”

"Then the report was reported to the Changning Palace, and my father sent someone to look for her. They found out that my appearance was similar to my mother's so that the housekeeper thought they were similar. That's when my identity was discovered."

Yan Huaian listened carefully, "What about the details of living with the Tian family? Do you remember?"

Zhao Mingruo shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's strange to say that I don't even remember what my adoptive parents looked like. Even if they stood in front of me, I wouldn't recognize them. I only knew these words from what others said."

"Maybe it was because I was young at the time that I gradually forgot about it, right?"

Either it was because so many years had passed between the two lives, and those unimportant things had been completely forgotten.

"So, besides your adoptive parents, did you have any other friends when you were a child?"

Zhao Mingruo shook his head.

She really can't remember.

Disappointment flashed across Yan Huaian's eyes, "I really forgot."

Although I had already guessed this possibility, I was still inevitably disappointed after hearing Zhao Mingruo admit it personally.

But only for a moment.

Yan Huaian has already made a decision. If he forgets the past, he will forget that they still have a future.

The two of them ate and talked together as if they were friends for many years.

Ah Ye's figure appeared outside the window, and there seemed to be something anxious between his brows. On the other side, Ah Fu also hesitated to speak.

Zhao Mingruo put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Thank you for the hospitality, Your Majesty."

Yan Huaian also nodded tacitly.

The two stood up and left in tacit agreement.Ah Fu said hurriedly, "Madam, Yan Lai is back."

After the words fell, Yan Lai knelt in front of Zhao Mingruo in a dusty state, "Miss, we have checked everything. Chen did not meet anyone who went out of Lin'an along the way. It was also found at the Yamen that she was restricted from traveling. What she said should be it is true."

Zhao Mingruo's face darkened.

Aye also truthfully reported to Yan Huai'an, "Your Majesty, the results of the investigation that I sent before have come to fruition. It turns out that I was living in the countryside, and when I was first brought back to the Duke's mansion, the Duke's wife was still alive and waiting. Reunion, but the third lady accidentally rolled down the hillside on the road, hit her forehead on a rock, and was in a coma for several months before she woke up."

"The Duke's wife also became seriously ill and passed away, so the mother and daughter missed the opportunity to reunite."

Yan Huaian's eyes deepened, "Not a little... fell down the hillside?"

Aye nodded, "That's what the Changning Palace said."

"What a coincidence." Yan Huaian said mockingly, "Continue to investigate, I want to know who the murderer is."

Even if you don't need to investigate, you should know who the murderer is, but everything must be based on evidence. What Yan Huaian wants is evidence that can help Zhao Mingruo, evidence that can allow her to take revenge.

"Yes."

Aye followed the order and retreated, but an uninvited guest walked in.

Mrs. Yan Guogong was smiling brightly, and she came with Yan Huaiyang, the second young master of Duke Yan's residence.

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but look around, but he frowned in disgust at the simple decoration in the room, but still had a smile on his face.

"Brother An, how are you recovering?"

Yan Huaian didn't respond. He just clenched his fist with one hand at the corner of his lips and coughed a few times.

Mrs. Yan Guogong continued, "Although this place is clean, it is too simple and thin. Staying for a while is just a way to relax, but it is not good to live here forever. After all, it is better to be at home."

Yan Huaiyang also looked at it and shook his head, "That's right, what the hell kind of place is this? It's far away and shabby. Can anyone really live in it?"

The servants brought tea, and after Yan Huaian motioned for the two of them to sit down, he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mrs. Yan Guogong no longer politely beat around the bush and just said with a smile, "Your father is thinking about you very much. Seeing the chaos outside, it would be better for the prince not to worry the Duke."

Yan Huaian had a sneer on his lips, "Did my father ask you to come?"

Mrs. Yan Guogong smiled and said nothing.

"The Duke's wife is really considerate and kind."

"Don't come to your door again in the future, and I won't go back."

Yan Huaian's voice became colder, "Aye, see you off."

Seeing how Yan Huaian despised his mother, Yan Huaian immediately became angry and said, "Yan Huaian, if you want to go back, go back. If you don't go back, you will die outside. My mother is kind enough to advise you, don't be disrespectful."

"Good intentions?"

Yan Huaian coughed a few times, and his thin figure was like a lonely bamboo in autumn, which might disappear at any time, "Who knows whether he is really kind-hearted or fake?"

"Don't worry, I can't compete with you in the slightest, so you can go with peace of mind."

As if he was out of breath, Yan Huaian coughed one after another, and the handkerchief was stained with blood. Aye walked in the door and quickly protected Yan Huaian, "Old Madam, Second Young Master, our prince is unwell, you still Come visit another day.”

Yan Huaiyang didn't want to let it go and wanted to have a good fight with Yan Huai'an, but Mrs. Yan Guogong stopped her in time, "Since Brother An is unwell, let's have a good rest. I will talk to him another day." The Duke is coming again."

Yan Huaiyang was pushed out of the door reluctantly by her mother.
