The reborn king is ferocious

Chapter 72 There must be something wrong
"Strictly speaking, the king didn't make any great achievements in that battle with Cang Yue's border, but there must have been some encounters that changed him. He didn't say anything, but the Queen Mother sent out so many eyeliners to some extent. It is said that, He once had an affair with an unknown woman, presumably because he left the battlefield without authorization, disregarding the country and still looking for women, fearing that publicizing it at this time would ruin his reputation, so he concealed it strictly. And the Queen Mother wanted to avoid future troubles , but the woman was not found, so the matter was left alone at the time." Xu Hongwen confessed everything he knew.

Mrs. Liu was very surprised, but she was still puzzled: "But why did the Empress Dowager think about looking for that woman again, and how can you be sure that Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter are the ones you are looking for?"

Xu Hongwen sighed and said, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother didn't tell Fang Xiang what she was thinking in her heart, but I later checked in many ways. During that time, the Queen Mother lived in Dabei Temple for a while and listened to the preaching of eminent monks. She seemed to have realized something. , that’s what happened.”

"What did the queen mother realize? Do you think that finding that woman will help the king govern the country, or strengthen the country? But why did she hide it from the king? This has been a long time for the king, who knows Will you be held accountable for the original crime? Even if it’s not a good thing, it’s definitely not a bad thing.” Mrs. Liu suddenly thought of a possibility, and said coldly: “Could it be that you deliberately made it up in order to want me to allow that foxy son, mother and daughter to enter the mansion? Such a bizarre story?"

Xu Hongwen said with a look of wanting to take out his heart and lungs: "Madam, I admit that I have been sorry to you before, but I have long forgotten those old things when I was young. Why don't you let it go completely? If you don't believe me If I see Mrs. Fang some other day, I will tell the truth that I have found their mother and daughter, and then I will know the truth, but..."

It's just that in that way, Xu Hongwen's plan to get close to Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter and win their favor so that one day he can use this relationship to climb up the ladder will come to nothing.

Moreover, he found Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter to please the queen mother, and the credit for pleasing the king would be given to Fang Xiang for nothing.

On the roof, only his eyes were exposed, Xiaotian, whose whole body was covered in black, was very surprised to hear that Luo Qingchen had such a bizarre background.

Seeing through Xu Hongwen's tricks, he couldn't help but look ridiculed.

He used to feel uncomfortable when he saw Xu Hongwen acting like a gentleman, but he didn't know why, but now it seems that he has the foresight to feel that Xu Hongwen is a man of the city.

Luo Qingchen guessed that the news tonight would be very important, she didn't ask Shen Lulai, but asked him, did she not think that the news would be so important, or did she believe in Xiaotian's ability and treat him as her best friend?

Xiao Tian would rather believe it was the latter.

Next, Mrs. Liu finally believed that Xu Hongwen wanted to get close to Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter, but for the sake of future official career, the husband and wife discussed in secret again and reached a consensus.

It would be best if we can welcome Mrs. Zhang into the mansion, but the biggest obstacle to doing so is Luo Qingchen.Her attitude towards Xu Hongwen was very cold, and she was even wary and vigilant, trying her best to prevent Mrs. Zhang from having any contact with him.

That little girl whose eyes seem to be able to penetrate the depths of people's hearts, did she notice something and see through something?
No, not possible!
Xu Hongwen thought that he had done a perfect job in the matter of Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter.

He used extremely secret channels and exhausted himself to track down the woman from Cheng Huan that night, and then sent spies all over towns and villages in several nearby countries, only then did he learn that the woman was wandering around with a daughter, and finally Finally settled in a remote mountain village in Tianqiong, life is extremely difficult.

Calculating from the time, the daughter brought by the woman should be the king's flesh and blood.

Although the queen mother's attitude is unclear, but I heard that the king has also looked for that woman, Xu Hongwen thinks that the king may not have any feelings for that woman at all, after all, an unmarried woman is risking being cast aside by her family and being scorned by the world, bear him a child.

It will be a bit of a setback to recognize Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter, but for the king, the harem only has two more mouths to eat, but it can win the love of the people. A king who values ​​love and righteousness will naturally not treat his subjects too bad.

And Xu Hongwen thinks deeper, although Zhang is down and out, but the noble and elegant in his bones, and the charm still exists, compared with the girl, there are more different charms, I have to say, seeing her At that moment, Xu Hongwen was tempted.

If the king had a deep affection for Zhang, he would definitely spare no effort to find her, but he didn't.

Well, if Xu Hongwen met such a poor woman by chance, out of sympathy, he took her into the mansion, even if the king finds their mother and daughter, the daughter can take them back. Has Mrs. Zhang... already become someone else's wife and concubine? , will the king still do it?

So since Zhang's stay in Xu's mansion, Luo Qingchen is so filial, how can he treat him badly here?
The king is tyrannical, the prince is incompetent, if... In his midnight dream, Xu Hongwen saw himself helpless when he was a child bullied by others more than once, revealing that he was helpless on the street.

In the blink of an eye, he dreamed that he was standing on high steps, with thousands of palaces behind him, majestic, so solemn, high above, that kind of feeling is worthy of being a human being in this life!
He is not a thing in the pond, and one day he will become famous!

Xu Hongwen worked hard step by step year after year, and worked hard, but at this age, he still doesn't know whether the position after Fang Xiang's departure will belong to Xu's family, so Xu Hongwen feels sad and unspeakably sad.

After finding Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter, he saw hope again.

The heirs in the palace are not prosperous, the prince is not good, and the king has no particularly close children.If Xu Hongwen wins Luo Qingchen's heart and cultivates her well, making her outstanding and loved by the king, and with Mrs. Zhang by his side, why worry about her career going badly in the future?
Every time he thought of this seamless plan, Xu Hongwen would tremble with excitement, feeling that his efforts would definitely be rewarded.

And for this first step, Mrs. Liu must agree with his thoughts and help him win the hearts of Zhang's mother and daughter.

Things like that in the morning must never happen again.

After talking about these pros and cons in detail, Xu Hongwen strongly assured that no matter how his official rank changes in the future, Mrs. Liu in Xu's mansion will always be the head of the house.

Mrs. Liu also knew that Xu Hongwen had to rely on the Liu family in the past, but now he wanted to maintain his good reputation outside, and he would not easily ruin his bright future. .

However, Mrs. Liu still has her own ideas.

"You have loved and raised You'er so much all these years, isn't it just because you want to find a good in-law to help you in the future? Why, your own is not enough, do you think that Luo Qingchen has more weight?" Liu's expression was a little bit eccentric.

"Madam, I know that thanks to you for treating Yu'er as my own all these years, I will never forget this great kindness. But according to the current situation, she and Jian Yu are in love with each other, so I can't force anything. If she is in a hurry and does something bad, wouldn't it be a failure at both ends?"

It turns out that there are ulterior motives in trying so hard to teach her daughter to be virtuous and virtuous, and she is not sure that marrying the Jian family is just to catch a bigger fish!

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound outside the door, and Xu Hongwen asked in surprise, "Who?"

Xiaotian on the roof instinctively wanted to jump up and escape, but immediately thought calmly that he hadn't made any noise and would definitely not be discovered, so he lay down on the roof and remained motionless.

Sure enough, Xu Hongwen and Mrs. Liu chased out of the house and looked around, only to see a wild cat jumping onto the courtyard wall.

"It turned out to be a beast." Xu Hongwen heaved a sigh of relief, and went back to the room with Mrs. Liu to discuss how to stabilize Mrs. Zhang and Luo Qingchen tomorrow. It is best to allow them to integrate into Xu's residence as soon as possible.

Xiaotian could see clearly from the roof, the moment Xu Hongwen went out, a black shadow quickly circled to the side of the house, jumped onto the big tree and hid.

That person has been here longer than him, lurking under the window, but Xiaotian didn't notice, who is this person?what purpose?
If these important secrets are heard by this person, will it be dangerous to Qingchen?

Xiaotian heard that Xu Hongwen and Mrs. Liu had started gossiping in the room, and guessed there was no secret, so he paid all his attention to that person's movements.

The man waited for a while, feeling that there was no danger, and then quietly flew over the courtyard wall and went to another courtyard.

Xiao Tian cautiously followed behind, and unknowingly came to a courtyard overflowing with fragrance of flowers.

I saw the person in front tapped on a window, and the person in the window was obviously waiting. The window was opened immediately, and the person jumped in.

A young girl's face emerged from the window, she looked outside vigilantly, and closed the window again.

Xiaotian knows that face, isn't it Xu You'er?

He brought a fuchsia bell, and hung it under the eaves outside Xu Youer's house, holding his breath, dipped in his saliva, gently dug a small hole in the window paper, and looked into the house with one eye.

I saw Xu You'er excitedly pulling a tall man in white and asked, "How is it? What have you heard?"

This morning, when Mrs. Liu came to the small courtyard aggressively to make trouble with Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter, the children were not at home.

Xu Shangzhi has not been home with the prince for many days, Xu Shangyong is on duty in the palace and is on duty tonight, while Xu Youer ran out early in the morning to find Jian Yu.

When Xu You'er came back, everything was settled, she wanted to comfort Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu had already closed the door with Xu Hongwen for a secret discussion.

Xu You'er was very puzzled, why did his father bring Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter into the mansion?It is said that in front of so many people, he had such a big dispute with Mrs. Liu for the first time.

According to common sense, Xu Hongwen would not dare to contradict Mrs. Liu like this, and Mrs. Liu is not a tolerant master, she can be so silent... There must be something, something big!
