surnamed Wang

Chapter 27 Story
Wang Gingquan walked all the way along the street, and then turned three times and two times, and soon arrived at the alley he remembered from last night. After tidying up his clothes, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the room.

Immediately, the door was opened, and it was the middle-aged man Wang Gingquan saw last night who opened the door. The middle-aged man was taken aback when he saw Wang Gingquan, and then asked:
"What is the father-in-law doing?"

Wang Gingquan squeezed his voice and replied: "The miscellaneous family came here under the order of the second prince."

The middle-aged man looked Wang Gangquan up and down, "Why didn't that father-in-law come?"

"Oh, that father-in-law caught wind and cold, and I'm afraid he might infect him." Wang Gangquan began to make up nonsense.

The middle-aged man didn't doubt it, he opened the courtyard door and invited Wang Gangquan inside.

As soon as Wang Gangquan entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. The yard was not big, and there were a few chickens and ducks. Wang Gangquan followed the middle-aged man carefully, without asking unnecessary words.

Led by the middle-aged man, Wang Gingquan walked through the yard and entered the house. The light in the house was dim, and the smell of medicine was much stronger.

There are stoves on both sides of the entrance, and there is a stove on each stove. The casserole on the stove is emitting white smoke, and the smell of medicine is also coming from here.

"Eunuch, please follow me."

Following the guidance of the middle-aged man, Wang Quanquan entered a back room with outdated furnishings. An old man was lying on the bed, coughing from time to time.

"The doctor came here once today. He took his pulse and said that his condition has stabilized for the time being." The middle-aged man said to himself.

Wang Gangquan still couldn't figure it out, guessing that the second prince probably came to visit the old man.

"Well, that's good, the second prince is very worried."

Wang Gingquan followed the words, and sure enough, the middle-aged man nodded without any doubt.

"Just let the second prince rest assured, the villain should take good care of the old man."

Wang Gangquan nodded, "So I'll go back and report first."

"Wait a minute..."

The old man who had been bedridden turned his head, and a series of coughs arose as he spoke.

It was only then that Wang Gangquan could clearly see the appearance of the old man. He should be over sixty years old, his hair was gray and wrinkled, his eyes were cloudy and lifeless.

Seeing that the old man was about to get up, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and put a pillow on the old man's back.

"Fu Ning, go down first, I have something to say to this father-in-law."

The middle-aged man nodded and retreated, closing the door before leaving.

The old man looked at Wang Pingquan with cloudy eyes, and Wang Pingquan smiled back. After a while, the old man finally spoke:
"You are not the father-in-law in the palace."

The old man broke Wang Gangquan's disguise as soon as he opened his mouth. Wang Gangquan did not deny it, and still looked at the old man with a smile on his face.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the old man continued: "If the old man's guess is correct, you should be the prince in the palace. Based on your age, you should be the eighth prince."

When the old man said the first sentence, Wang Quanquan didn't find it strange. First of all, the nonsense he made up was too rough, and if he thought about it a little, he would find the flaws in his words. Moreover, in Wang Quanquan's opinion, the old man was very likely to be the kind of adviser , so it is not difficult to see that he is pretending to be a eunuch.

But the other party actually directly guessed his real identity, which made Wang Gangquan secretly startled, who is this old man?
Seeing Wang Gangquan's unbelievable expression, the seriously ill old man smiled.

"Your Highness, don't be overly nervous. This old man is just a commoner, and he can guess His Highness's identity only because he has lived a few more years and learned more."

Seeing that his identity had been found out, Wang Gangquan stopped pretending and bowed down to give a salute.

"Mr., the next time I come here, I want to clear up my doubts."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm afraid I can't solve your highness's confusion. I don't know if your highness is willing to listen to me tell a story."

story?Wang Gangquan was a little puzzled, but still nodded.

"I remember that it was more than 20 years ago, the second year after the establishment of the dynasty. His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne at that time. General Hou Dachang of Pingnan conspired to rebel. As the second son of the old emperor, he was ordered to lead troops to suppress it. The battle lasted for half a year. After this battle, the Holy Majesty, fed up with the scramble for power and intrigues, began to walk the rivers and lakes under the pseudonym Zhao Zhiyi, and became a chivalrous man who scavenged the strong and helped the weak, and the old man was saved by the young Holy Majesty at that time."

Wang Gangquan nodded, he had heard all these from his father the emperor.

"The Holy Majesty has been in the rivers and lakes for more than three years, and he has not settled down until he traveled to the border. There, he met a woman surnamed Li. The two fell in love at first sight, and after they hit it off, they settled down. This stay lasted for a year. .

A year later, Miss Li gave birth to a son for His Majesty.Originally, this was something worthy of celebration, but unfortunately, the barbarians invaded and slaughtered the whole village, and the Holy Lord risked his life to save Miss Li and the child. "

After hearing this, Wang Gangquan finally understood, it turned out that what the emperor really experienced that day was much more tragic than what he described.

"Later, the Holy One brought Ms. Li's mother and son back to Beijing, and wanted to compete with the other two princes for the throne. He was well aware of the means of the other two brothers, and was afraid that the power struggle would affect the safety of Ms. Li's mother and son, so he entrusted them to Gave it to the old.

He himself entered the center of the power struggle alone.At that time, the three parties fought extremely fiercely, and His Majesty did not dare to recognize Miss Li's mother and son for a long time. Unexpectedly, this fight lasted for three years.

In the end, the Holy One killed the two brothers with his hands and became a great treasure.It's a pity that the battle at the border still left a hidden danger for Miss Li. She was frightened during the confinement period, and after traveling long distances and wandering, her health has already fallen to the root of the disease.Miss Li, who was physically and mentally exhausted, left after all before the return of His Majesty.Before leaving, he left behind a three-year-old child.

That day, De'er met his father for the first time in his life, and they stood together in front of Miss Li's grave all afternoon. "

The old man was already in tears at this time, and Wang Gangquan couldn't help but sigh, his father's experience was a hundred times more painful than what he personally told.

"So, is the Second Prince the same child?"

The old man nodded.

"The kid always remembers me, the bad old man who took care of his wife, and comes to see me every holiday. Although I don't understand the old man's principles, I believe that De'er is not a bad person."

"Why did the old gentleman tell me this matter, so you are not afraid that I will use it to deal with the Second Highness?"

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"Your Highness won't. Although I am so old that my eyes are almost blurred, my mind becomes clearer as I get older. In the eyes of this old man, you are very similar!"

"Similar?"

Wang Gangquan was puzzled, what was the resemblance?The second child has a gloomy face all day, like someone owes him money, while he is so sunny and handsome.

"You all resemble Your Majesty."

Wang Gangquan scratched his head even more, to be reasonable, he is not the emperor's cub.

……

Wang Gingquan who walked out of the courtyard was not worried about what the old man would say to the second prince. Since the other party said so much to him, it showed that he believed in him.

Wang Gingquan stretched his waist.Seeing that it was getting late, I thought I should go back to the palace early.It seems that there is no need to stare at the second prince, let's focus on other people.

As soon as Wang Gingquan walked to the door of his small courtyard, he instantly petrified, and saw the second prince sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking at him.

This... probably must be waiting for me...
