Chapter 186

Zhao Hongyou took it and opened it, with a dazed expression for a moment. On the painting were two women who were dressed almost the same, one of whom he recognized at a glance as his biological mother, Empress Wenchun when he was young, and the other, although described as small, but But it can be clearly seen that her appearance is six to seven points similar to Concubine Yu.If this girl is twenty years older, I'm afraid she will look even more like her!

"This person's surname is Zhuang, and her maiden name is Fu Yan. If you count according to the seniority of folk relatives, she should be the emperor's aunt and the cousin of Empress Wenchun. Back then, the Zhuang family was robbed and murdered by bandits. Miss Zhuang escaped from death and was alone. She went to her aunt, Mrs. Laozhen Guogong, and got along well with Queen Wenchun and Princess Qian. Later, Laozhen Guogong, Marquis Yongding, Marquis Zhongyi and two generals who protected the country were killed one after another. The whereabouts of Duke Zhen was unknown during the war. Old Zhen Guogong’s wife died of illness, and Miss Zhuang passed away suddenly for unknown reasons.”

Old Zhen Guogong is naturally referring to Zhao Hongyou's grandfather. The two Hou Ye are clearly his first uncle and second uncle who died in the battle. cousin.

After Qiao Zheng returned, he inherited the title of his father's generation, and now he is the Duke of Zhen.

"Sudden death? That means there was no warning before the event? Did he die from a disease or an accident? There must be a conclusion, right?" Zhao Hongyou asked, frowning after carefully rolling up the painting.

"My subordinates are incompetent. I really can't find out the real reason for this Miss Zhuang's death. I only know that she died the next day after Mrs. Laozhen's wife died of illness!" Zhou Yuan lowered his head in shame.

"Did she commit suicide? Or did she die because of her grandmother's illness, and she couldn't think about it and did something stupid when she was sad?" Zhao Hongyou guessed, and after a while, he continued to ask, "How is this Miss Zhuang in the past? But the weak and sick?"

"As far as my subordinates know, this Miss Zhuang is not weak or sick. Otherwise, how could she go all the way to Qiao's mansion alone?"

Zhao Hongyou remained silent.

The queen mother's cousin looks similar to Yu Shaofu, and Yu Shaofu is extremely favored by the emperor. Is this just a coincidence, or is there something else hidden?If there are other secrets, could that Miss Zhuang and her father also know each other?Why would the father spoil a woman who looks similar to her?

Questions popped up in his mind one after another, and Zhao Hongyou rubbed his forehead, trying to sort out the thoughts that gradually became chaotic.It's been a long time, and it's not always possible to find out these things if you want to find out, you still have to ask someone who is familiar with them, this person is none other than the current Princess Qian!
Whether it's his mother's empress Wenchun, the Miss Zhuang family, or his father's emperor when he was young, these aunts and aunts all know each other. In addition, his mother and queen have known her since childhood, and their relationship has always been very good. That Miss Zhuang Being living in her grandfather's house again, the imperial aunt would understand her more or less, and she couldn't be more clear about these father's grievances.

Tomorrow is the mother's birthday, so many years have passed in a flash...

He sighed softly.

Empress Wenchun's Mingshou, the palace did not make a big deal of it, because Empress Wenchun had a will, such as Mingshou and death days are not allowed to be arranged.Zhao Hongyou remembered hearing her say something like this many years ago - "Death is like a lamp going out, everything is empty, and then organizing such and such ceremonies under various names is of no use except to waste people and money." '.

It is also because of this that every year on Empress Wenchun's birthday and death day, everyone in the palace only fasts for nine days and stops all entertainment arrangements.After all, on the premise of knowing that the emperor has deep feelings for his biological mother, if he doesn't know how to restrain himself on such a special day, he is simply asking for his own death.

The next day, Su Qinwan had lunch, thinking that since the mountain is not coming, I will go to the mountain, and if the emperor is not free to come, then she will go there.Unexpectedly, she revealed this meaning, but Liu Shuang shook her head and said, "Your Majesty will not be able to find the Emperor today!"

Su Qinwan didn't know why, and looked at her suspiciously.

"On this day of every year, the emperor doesn't see anyone anymore after the morning court." Liu Shuang reminded softly.

Su Qinwan gave a clear 'oh', yes, today is Empress Wenchun's birthday, the emperor wants to stay quietly and miss his loving mother who passed away, so he is not in the mood to see other people.

At this time, Zhao Hongyou, who was taken for granted by everyone to be alone, appeared in the Palace of Qian Wang.

King Qian looked at him unexpectedly, "Why is Youer here?" Obviously, he also knew the habits of this nephew.

Zhao Hongyou responded indiscriminately, but instead of answering him, he asked, "Is the imperial aunt in the residence?"

"She went to Longci Nunnery early this morning, and at this hour, she probably returned to Daming Mountain."

Zhao Hongyou did not delay, and then he took his leave and left, leaving only the bewildered King Qian, "Come in a hurry, go in a hurry..." He shook his head, sighed, and held the teacup in one hand He took a sip carefully.

He rushed all the way to the Daming Mountain Huangzhuang, asked the servants of the Huangzhuang, and learned that Princess Qian was really in the villa, Zhao Hongyou quickly asked her whereabouts, and after knowing that Princess Qian was in the viewing pavilion, he immediately brushed the corner of his robe straight Looking for the past...

"Yingqi, another year has passed. Counting it down, I can't remember how long you have been away. Alas, you are really old..." A soft sigh was blown into the ears of Zhao Hongyou who was arriving. , made him stop all of a sudden, and stand firmly in the same place, looking at Princess Qian who was sitting on a boulder facing the distance.

"I finally understand why you were so desperate back then...Yingqi, you are tolerant and tolerant. There are some things that I don't want to care about, but I have to. I never told you that in the year after you left, there was a On that day, he went to Daming Mountain to look for his elder brother."

Zhao Hongyou was taken aback, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that the 'he' probably referred to his father.Father Huang used to come to Daming Mountain to look for Uncle Huang?
"...I don't know what he said to the lord, but his unlovely 'love' look disgusted me! So, I told him all those things, and told him how Tell him how the pure as white lotus in his heart, Fu Er, who is so intelligent, has acted shamelessly, and told him how he mistook fish eyes for pearls, and really missed a bright pearl! I also told him, The reason why you let Youer cremate your body and sprinkle your ashes into Dinghe is because you don't want to share the same cave with him after death, and hope that you will never see each other again!" Princess Qian's words full of hatred made Zhao Hongyou stiff immediately hands and feet.

"I want him to live in pain and remorse and torment all his life! How can he let you down and hurt you, and still have the face to ask for forgiveness?! And the face to pretend to be affectionate?!"
