Chapter 332 Rejection
"Hey, I want grandpa, I want grandpa..."

Lan Ruqing couldn't tell what was in her heart. She recalled what the old man said just now, and suddenly realized that the old man could smell the red color of the crane's crown, so he must not be a simple person. From this point of view, this child is not ordinary people.

Someone died in the imperial city, which immediately attracted the inspection of the government.

Some people said that he died of freezing, some said that he died of starvation, and some said that he was old and died of old age. After all, as a beggar without food and clothing, these situations are all possible.

The boy hugged the old man's body and wept loudly. He cried and said, "Grandpa left after eating this meat bun. Someone gave this meat bun to this elder sister. Elder sister threw it away if she didn't want it. We picked it up." I wanted to eat, but grandpa..."

The people in the government didn't pay attention at first, but a person in the crowd passed by and took a look, and suddenly shouted,

"I know him. He is the Eunuch Meng who used to serve the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager, who was Concubine Xiao, once allowed this Eunuch Meng to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives. Later, he was killed by robbers on the way back to the palace. Why did he suddenly return to the palace?" Appeared in the capital?"

As soon as this person said this, everyone was puzzled, "Eunuch? Isn't that a eunuch?"

"Yes, how can the eunuch have a grandson?"

"Isn't it the son of the godfather you recognize?"

Everyone whispered, but the people in the government didn't dare to rush when they heard about it.

This person's identity is not trivial, if he really wants to uncover the truth of the original incident layer by layer, some noble person will definitely be involved.

Not long after the old man's body and half of the steamed bun in his hand were brought to Shuntian Mansion Yin, an explosive news spread that Eunuch Meng, who used to serve Concubine Xiao, was a fake eunuch.

Lan Ruqing heard the news intermittently at the foot of the imperial city. Reminiscent of what the concubine said about the empress dowager having lost her first child, Lan Ruqing had some guesses.

No matter how this matter unfolded, Lan Ruqing always held tightly to the boy left behind by the old man.

If that woman heard that Eunuch Meng had a grandson, she would definitely try to get rid of him to avoid future troubles.

However, there was news from the palace again that she knew about the fact that Eunuch Meng was a fake eunuch, but Eunuch Meng had saved her life. In order to repay his kindness, this matter was kept quiet. The opportunity for him to return to his hometown to visit relatives kept him away from the capital.

Regarding the death of Eunuch Meng, the Empress Dowager also felt deeply grieved and powerless. When the Emperor learned of Eunuch Meng's affection for the Empress Dowager, he immediately expressed that he would be buried generously.

When the news came out from the palace, Lan Ruqing curled her lips, so what if she found out that Eunuch Meng was a fake eunuch, how did he die was not covered up?
But this father-in-law Meng probably saw clearly that the person who attacked her was the queen mother, so he deliberately ate the poisonous buns to reveal his identity?

If he did this, could it be that he had some grudge with the Queen Mother?
The boy tugged at her sleeve and said to her sobbingly, "Big sister, grandpa promised that he will be buried in the tomb he dug after his death!"

Lan Ruqing suddenly had a bold idea, could there be something hidden in the tomb that Eunuch Meng had dug in advance?
After thinking about it, she immediately asked the boy to take her to the place he said.

Her intuition told Lan Ruqing that the place she went to this time must be very rewarding, so she told Suzaku, who was hiding in the dark to protect her, to go find Shangguan Jingyi.

The place the boy mentioned was behind an abandoned temple in the suburbs of Beijing. The tomb was very simple, and inside was a coffin that was not very good.

Just as she was about to open the coffin, Shangguan Jingyi suddenly appeared in front of her.

He was dressed in simple black, apparently an ordinary attire specially put on to deceive others.

"Some people rob tombs for anti-tomb robbers, and they will place hidden weapons in advance. I will open them, and you will back off!"

Lan Ruqing backed away immediately upon hearing the words, Shangguan Jingyi forcefully lifted the coffin, a few tiny poisonous needles emerged from it, and nothing else.

Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, the two probed their heads and found several scrolls.

Shangguan Jingyi stretched out his hand to open it, flipped through a few pages, and immediately closed it.

"What's wrong? What's on it?" Lan Ruqing asked suspiciously.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Jingyi hugged her and whispered in her ear with a smile, "You are really a blessing bestowed on me by heaven. The emperor asked me to secretly investigate the relationship between the Queen Mother and King Ning yesterday. I didn't want to find it today." !"

Lan Ruqing was puzzled, "Is there any explanation from above?"

"This is a daily record. This father-in-law likes to record what happened every day. It clearly records from the first day he entered the palace to yesterday's begging in the imperial city. The ironclad evidence of the Queen Mother!"

Shangguan Jingyi looked past Lan Ruqing with a faint smile and looked at the five-year-old boy. He suddenly stopped smiling, and his face returned to coolness.

The boy was very afraid of him, and kept hiding behind Lan Ruqing.

"Big sister, I'm afraid!"

"Don't be afraid, let's get out of here!"

"Where are you taking him? He is the only witness to this incident. I must take him into the palace to meet the emperor!"

Shangguan Jingyi blocked her, pointed at the boy and said, "Little devil, come here!"

The boy was still afraid, his little hands tightly grasped Lan Ruqing's clothes, his body trembling slightly.

"Don't scare him, let him follow me!"

The boy pulled Lan Ruqing hard to leave Shangguan Jingyi, but Shangguan Jingyi stared at the boy's hand, feeling jealous in his heart.

"Then I'll send someone to protect you in the dark! Are you hungry?"

Shangguan Jingyi went over to hold her hand, because of the spiritual protection, her hand was not as cold as before.

Lan Ruqing didn't feel hungry herself, but she thought that the child was probably hungry, so she nodded.

"I'll arrange for people to distribute food!"

Before Shangguan Jingyi strode away, he glanced at the boy again, feeling very dissatisfied with where his hand was placed.

When Lan Ruqing brought the boy back to the imperial city, snowflakes suddenly fell in the sky.

Large and large, like goose feathers flying.

Lan Ruqing didn't feel the cold, but the boy shrank straight into her arms.

Lan Ruqing thought that going on like this was not an option, and thinking that Lan's house was not far from the imperial city, she took the boy over to find him a piece of clothing to wear.

The Lan family in the capital is still a courtyard rewarded by the emperor. The courtyard is a three-entry courtyard. There are two stone lions placed in front of the gate, which looks quite grand.

The gate of the yard was closed and there was no guard, so Lan Ruqing had to reach out and knock on the door.

Maybe because of her good hearing, Lan Ruqing could hear the laughter and laughter inside through the gate of the courtyard.

Listening to the voice, Lan Ruqing knew that besides Dafang's family, there were also people from the second bedroom. The gathering of the few people meant that Lan Yuyan was so promising now that she had become the first child in the palace who was pregnant with a dragon heir. The concubines, maybe the dragon species in their belly will be the emperor of Dazong Kingdom in the future, so their Lan family will be regarded as relatives of the emperor in the future, and it is not an exaggeration to walk sideways at the foot of the imperial city.

The more they heard the words, the more outrageous they became. They were so excited that they hadn't even written off their horoscopes. Aren't they afraid that extreme joy would turn into sorrow?

She wanted to persuade them to keep a low profile and stop being so ostentatious, after all, the strength of the Lan family was not stable, but thinking about it, if she said this, they would inevitably feel that they were jealous of them and could not see their good.

Just as he was about to leave Lan's house, the door suddenly opened.

A servant inside opened the door panting, and when he saw her, his face became a little ugly, "Begging, let's go, there's no time here, go beg elsewhere!"

After that, close the door again.
