After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 341: Infected with a Cold
After hearing this, Shen Changfeng shook his head foolishly.

"Master, why are you asking about the Li family? Have they offended you?"

Gu Mingda shook his head slightly and said, "I just arrived in the capital, and I am afraid that my words and actions may offend the nobles in the capital without knowing it."

Although Niu Niu's collision with Concubine Li was just an excuse made up by the emperor, Gu Mingda was such a sensitive person that he always felt that the emperor would not use Concubine Li as an excuse for no reason. Something must have happened in the palace, and things between Niu Niu and Concubine Li were probably not happy.

Shen Changfeng was just about to say, "Master, you have the support of the Princess's Mansion, so you don't have to worry about the Li family." But he changed his mind and realized that Master was not the kind of person who would rely on others blindly, and he would probably not be happy to hear such words.

"Master, when it comes to understanding the powerful families in the capital, no one can compare to my mother. I will go back tonight and ask her. If you really ask me, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly in a short while." After receiving instruction from Gu Mingda, Shen Changfeng is now extremely cautious in what he says and does, and does not boast as casually as he did in the past.

Gu Mingda thanked his disciples.

Shen Changfeng came closer again and whispered, "Master, mother told me that she had someone check the list of young eunuchs who entered the palace over the years, and she did not find the name of Second Junior Brother."

Gu Mingda is devoted to Shen Changfeng, but he is not a man without desires. The eldest princess understands his fatherly love and sends someone to check the list of people entering the palace.

But the results now made Gu Mingda feel depressed.

Shen Changfeng handed over another booklet in his arms and said, "Master, don't be too sad. Second Junior Brother was young back then, so he might have forgotten his name and wrote another name on the list."

After losing his child, Gu Mingda repeatedly recalled every moment he spent with the second boy. He also remembered that he and his wife had repeatedly emphasized his name to the child.

Logically, children would not forget their own names.

He took the booklet handed to him by Shen Changfeng, trying to find some clues on it.

Shen Changfeng explained: "This is the list of young eunuchs who entered the palace within five years after Second Junior Brother was abducted. The age of the people on this list is no more than three years older than Second Junior Brother."

The fact that the people sent by the princess were able to compile such a detailed list shows that the princess really took this matter to heart.

"Thank your mother for me. Maybe your second junior brother is on the list." Gu Mingda reasoned.

Shen Changfeng said again: "Master, don't keep staring at this list. My mother said that families who can't give birth to sons will also buy a son. Maybe those kidnappers will sell the child to other families along the way."

Gu Mingda said: "If he is really sold to someone else as a son, it would be much better than entering the palace."

Shen Changfeng also understood this principle.

But if he sold it to someone else on the way, there would be so many people there that Gu Mingda wouldn't know where to look for him.

What we need to do now is to see if we can find his son among those who have entered the palace.

Shen Changfeng said again: "Master, Niuniu is in the palace now, and my grandmother loves her very much. If you let Niuniu go to look for her, she will be closer to the water and get the moon first, so maybe it will be faster."

Gu Mingda shook his head. He and Zhang Yunniang had never thought of starting with Niuniu. First, they were afraid that Niuniu would make random wishes. Second, although Niuniu was favored, the palace was deep and deep. Niuniu was a child under seven years old. It was good enough for her to protect herself. Why did they ask her to do more? No matter how much the queen mother loved her, she would probably not like a child who was always asking for things.

"There are so many people in the palace. It may not be easy to search one by one." Shen Changfeng sighed.

Gu Mingda has now arrived in the capital. Even though many people around him have advised him to give up, he has a feeling that he will eventually be able to find his son.

In Shoukang Palace, Niu Niu still did not attend class today. Instead, she chattered around the empress dowager about her experiences outside the palace.

"I hit the target right away and won a little golden sheep, which I gave to my mother. People around me praised me as a lucky doll and wanted to take advantage of my luck!" Niu Niu said with a little pride.

The child spoke in clear voices, and was talking about things outside the palace. It was such a bizarre and lucky experience. Not to mention the Queen Mother, even the palace maids who were in charge of serving on the side listened attentively, with strange lights in their eyes.

Li Shunfu said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, Niuniu is indeed blessed. Before she entered the palace, I heard people say that the number one scholar had taken many years to pass the examination. After adopting this child, he directly won the top three prizes. He was full of talent before, but every time he encountered an examination, all kinds of strange accidents would happen. It can be seen that this child blessed her father."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was immediately surprised and asked Niuniu, "Is this true? Did many strange things really happen when your father was taking the exam?"

Niuniu had naturally heard what her family had said, so she nodded and said, "Once I fell flat on my face for no reason, and once I was assigned to an examination room that was leaking, and on the first night I got soaked and caught a cold..."

These were Gu Mingda’s experiences before he met Niu Niu.

The Queen Mother is an experienced person. It would be strange if she was still unaware of so many unexpected things happening at the same time.

"Good things come to those who wait. Your father has suffered a lot now. However, his experiences do not seem normal. It seems that he is hated by others."

When Niuniu heard this, she tilted her head and asked, "Grandma, what is town disgust?"

Seeing that the child didn't understand, the Queen Mother explained, "He was originally a good person, but someone secretly did something bad to him and harmed him."

When Niuniu heard this, her little face puffed up: "I don't know who killed my father! He must have met a bad end!"

At this time, Concubine Li, who was talking to her trusted nanny, suddenly sneezed.

The old lady immediately stood up, closed the windows in the room, and said with concern: "Madam, although it is summer, you still have to be careful not to catch a cold easily."

Concubine Li did not take these words seriously. She had always been in good health, and there was no reason for her to catch a cold in such cold weather.

Just before she had thought of this for long, she suddenly started coughing violently again. As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy.

Niu Niu in Shoukang Palace had no idea how powerful her words were and was still telling stories to the empress dowager.

"We chased the bad guys away, and the braised food shop's business is booming again. My godmother wrote this story into a vernacular novel, and now it's being performed in the theater in the capital. The theater is always full every day, and it's very popular!"

When Niu Niu said this, her expression suddenly became depressed.
