The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1063 Letter

"Zitong, look." Emperor Yanping did not directly answer his wife's question. Instead, he opened the locked box himself, took out several letters, and let her read for herself.

"..." Sheng Ran looked over hesitantly, and when she saw Emperor Yanping nodding towards her, she took it.

Emperor Yanping led her to sit on the couch and whispered to her in a low voice: "The second son of the Lang family is not the son of Prince Jing, but a descendant of the Lang family... Otherwise, given the charity and generosity of the emperor's grandfather, he would not have failed to write it to the Lang family. "Jade Certificate."

"But this is too ridiculous!" Sheng Ran couldn't believe it when she read several letters mentioning Lang's parent-child swap.

She also has a daughter. How could a parent be willing to let a nephew replace his own biological child?

"If Prince Jing's second son died in the name of the descendant of the Lang family due to King Jing's plan, it would make sense for Concubine Cen to hate the Lang family and their two sons... However, I still refuse to believe that there can be such a heartless person in the world."

Sheng An couldn't understand the logic of this matter. After all, a beast is like a child protecting its children. How can a human be embarrassed?

"How can there be absolutes in the world?" Emperor Yanping firmly believed in this, and he told Sheng Ran with certainty, "Some of these letters were written by Emperor Chengyuan to Empress Dowager Xiao and Wen, and some were sent back to Huang Kao by Empress Dowager Xiao and Wen... There are also records from the Imperial Examination about Emperor Chengyuan and Emperor Chengyuan’s reply, as well as a secret conversation between Concubine Cen and Prince Jing... I have already found someone to check the condition of the paper before, so it is more accurate. Make sure the handwriting inside is authentic."

Having said this, Emperor Yanping held Sheng Ran's hand in his palm. Seeing that the difference in gloss between the two hands was not as big as before, he suddenly became more confident: "I ordered the internal guards to explore many times, and there was no shortage of Lang." Although the investigation results cannot directly prove it, the side evidence can corroborate the statements in these letters. "

"Zitong, isn't this enough?"

Sheng Ran felt that her mind was a little confused. Although the letters in her hand seemed to present an imperfect closed loop, she felt vaguely uneasy, as if she had overlooked something.

"If it's difficult for Your Majesty to express his gratitude to Concubine Cen, why not... just get rid of the second son of the Lang family!"

Sheng Ran rolled her eyes and suggested to Emperor Yanping: "I hope that when Mrs. Lang sees her, she will be touched by her true feelings. I won't worry about her not telling the truth. Is it true or false? I'm afraid she won't be able to tell clearly?"

"!!!" Emperor Yanping gasped and blinked, doubting his ears.

Sheng Ran hummed and put the letter into the box: "The handwriting is stored on the paper. Even if it is original, if someone is good at splicing, pasting, tracing... it may not be impossible to fake it.

I have always been suspicious, and I believe what I saw with my own eyes. If Concubine Cen did not lie, then she would be happy to see the outcome of sending the two sons down to accompany her grandson. "

In other words, as long as Concubine Cen refuses or hesitates even a little bit, then this person must not be trustworthy.

Emperor Yanping understood and knew that what his wife mentioned was just to test Concubine Cen, so he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zitong scared me just now." Emperor Yanping wiped the sweat from his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't hold it back. He whispered to her, "You and I only have one child, Zongwa. Even for her, we have to give birth to more children." Collect virtue and don’t hurt Tianhe.

As for Concubine Cen... She is so pitiful. I really can't bear to remind her of the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person away. How can the scabbed wounds be torn open again and again? "

Seeing that he refused to test, Sheng Ran was extremely helpless and could only do the next best thing: "If you want to let her out of the palace, I have nothing to do. But if you are willing to listen to my words, then send the internal guards." Keep an eye on her and don’t miss her whereabouts.”

As long as the group of alchemists were not driven out of the palace immediately, Emperor Yanping would naturally not respond, not to mention that Sheng An's request was considered reasonable to him.

"Your Majesty has good intentions, and I also want to help. If Your Majesty doesn't give up, I want to work with Your Majesty to strictly control the alchemist's alchemy skills. In addition, there are internal guards and imperial doctors to supervise Sasuke. I hope that I can do a good job for Your Majesty's health." It's more beneficial." Seeing his agreement, Sheng An couldn't help but go a step further.

Emperor Yanping thought about this and agreed.

... After walking out of Qingyuan Palace, Sheng Ran did not return to Yongxiang Palace immediately, but slowly climbed up the stairs and stood on the palace wall, looking at the scene of the huge palace in the afterglow of dusk.

The ancient city wall, shrouded in the setting sun, even though it has been repaired long ago, still reveals a charm of vicissitudes of life; the breeze blows, the dark crows go away, the light and shadow are scattered, and the line of sight seems to fall into the overlap of time and space. In this place, the sight is the imperial city at dusk, but what is ringing in the ears is the long hum of history.

The vastness and the insignificance, the boundlessness and the limitation, the long distance and the shortcut... Unknowingly, Sheng Ran had a feeling of loneliness: "In the vast world, I am alone and proud."

It wasn't until a childish voice singing poetry came from a distance that it broke the barrier that separated her from the real world and pulled her back into the world.

"[Flowers fall on the courtyard steps at dusk, there is smoke in the wall and people are outside the wall; outside the wall the tired birds return to their nests, and the returning guests inside the wall come in smiling.]"

When Sheng Ran saw her daughter Zhiwa jumping and jumping towards her, her original wandering thoughts returned instantly, and her previously shaken will also fell back to where it was.

"Where did you find the poem to sing?" Sheng Ran squatted down and straightened Zhiwa's clothes without using the hands of the maid.

"Is this a poem written by my aunt? Why, my aunt only exchanged letters with me and didn't talk to you?!" The little guy's head was filled with light like broken gold, and he put his hands on his hips proudly and said shyly. The belly is rubbed secretly to show off.

Sheng Ran somehow saw the look of her little sister when she was young on this guy's face, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Oh? That's so enviable!" She held her daughter's little hand and slowly walked into the palace passage covered with red light, letting her leisurely laughter fall among the gradually lengthening shadows.

"Humph, it's okay! Even though I can't write poetry yet, I can still echo the sayings I made up! Oh my, there's no way, who makes my aunt so clingy to others, and only clings to me as a child? If only she would be willing I'll let you share some of the burden!" The little guy was so nervous that his pigtails almost couldn't bear it anymore.

However, Sheng Ran responded as if it was serious business: "That's it. Then what did you say in reply to my aunt?"

"Of course I told her to be careful outside! Oh, my grandmother often said that my aunt is not easy for people to worry about, so I had to give her more instructions! But I also made it into a common saying so that my aunt can remember it clearly. Oh, it's not easy for me. !”

"Oh?! Can you tell me in detail?"

"Of course! I told her a lot of things, such as 'if you see the situation is wrong, kneel down immediately'; 'If you don't recognize people clearly, you will fool them all'; 'If you fail to achieve success, run first as a sign of respect'..." …Eh? Mother, why are you ignoring me?”

"Well, because what you said...is so good!"

"Can auntie listen?"

"Don't worry, not only can she listen, she can also act!"

"Hmm! That's great! I will be just like my aunt when I grow up!"

"..."

"Ha ha!"

"That's okay...very good."
