Chapter 388 What Are You Expecting To Hear?
Huo Mingdi was shocked, turned around, quickened his steps and was about to raise his hand to pat him on the arm, but when he saw the python robe on him and the eunuch behind him, he stopped abruptly and bowed politely instead.

Yang Su returned a salute, and then the father and son sat down together.

It has been nearly a year since we separated in Huizhou, and Yang Su and Huo's parents are already close, especially after experiencing such a thing this time, it should be more emotional.

However, whether Huo Mingzhai participated in the events of that year has not yet come to light, even if he misses, he can only restrain himself first.

Yang Su said: "I heard that my father was originally in Luoyang? Is it safe to come here?"

Seeing his attitude, Huo Mingdi secretly knew it.He didn't evade, and said: "Ming Li sent goods to Luoyang, said that Luoyang peony bloomed well this year, invited me to see it, and I went.

"Just two days after arriving, I heard that something happened in the capital, so I hurried to the capital. The road was fine, and the guards were very capable, and they chose a place to avoid the chaos."

"Mum, when will they arrive?"

"Calculating the distance, we should be able to arrive in a few days."

Yang Su rubbed his fingers, thinking that it would be awkward to exchange pleasantries, so he brought the tea with his own hands, put it in Huo Mingzhai's hands, and said with a deep breath: "I think my father has already heard about it, and I still have some If the matter is unclear, please explain it to your father.”

"You said."

"What was the emperor's reason for entrusting me to my father? Does my father know about Fu Rong's background?"

Huo Mingdi was silent for a moment after listening, and said, "Son, what do you expect to hear?"

"Of course I want to hear the whole truth." Yang Su clenched his fists, "I want to know if he sent me out of the palace for my own good, or if he didn't intend to have me at all. Why did he choose his father to come here?" Raise me?"

Huo Mingzhai looked at him: "You never asked him about these things?"

Yang Su remained silent.He has nothing to talk to the emperor about.In other words, he never thought of asking him at all. As a father, he had completely lost his prestige with him, and no matter what the emperor said, he would never believe him again.

In contrast, he was more willing to accept Huo Mingzhai's words.

Huo Mingzhai didn't wait for an answer, and said: "That year I just delivered goods to the capital, my father was still there at that time, and asked me to bring two pieces of good jade to the palace, in order to please the emperor's heart, and to protect the Huo family's business.

"Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu had an accident at that time. He saw me halfway and went to the harem. I didn't dare to leave for a while, so I stayed in Qianqing Palace and waited. After a while, the eunuch sent me to the imperial hospital and asked me not to publicity.

"When I arrived at the imperial hospital, the emperor was still holding a blood-stained newborn child in the inner court. The child's face was pale. Although I was just married at the time and had never had a child, I could see that it was abnormal.

"Sure enough, the emperor gave the child to me and asked me to take it out of the palace. He said that you were born at a bad time, and you don't look like a long-lived child. Don't stay in the palace.

"I think he couldn't be cruel enough to dispose of you at that time, so he simply handed it over to me, and then resigned to fate. Therefore, he didn't tell anyone that Concubine Shu gave birth to a prince, but it is a prince after all, so hand and footprints are still left. It's down."

After Huo Mingzhai finished speaking, he pursed his lips tightly.

Yang Su was silent for a while, then said, "I don't believe it."

Huo Mingzhai looked over.

"I don't believe it." Yang Su stood up, "If he can't be cruel, why would he use me as a stepping stone for Fu Rong later?"

"But it's true!" Huo Mingdi tapped his five fingers on the table, and his speech slowed down: "As for Fu Rong—actually, he also has something to do with me."

Yang Su paused.

Huo Mingzhai sighed, and mentioned the events of that year: "I carried you out of the palace back then, and you almost cried under the palace gate without drinking a sip of milk. I covered your mouth and walked half a mile before letting you go. You're already just whining like a cat.

"But I don't dare to look for milk casually, your mother was also in the capital at that time, and she panicked when she saw you.

"Neither of us has given birth yet, so we have no idea at all. Later, I heard from the embroiderer in the shop that a baby was crying from the Guangshu Palace next door. Maybe there is a nanny.

"At that time, the Guangshu Prince's Mansion had fallen to the point where there was only a shell left. In addition, the population was not strong, and no one in the city took them seriously. This is why we had the courage to go to He's house.

"Your mother and I walked to the front door of He's house with you in our arms, but no one answered when we called. The house was too big, and the concierge didn't know how to do his best, so we carried you, who was crying, to the back alley, thinking about where to go. There are many people, and there will always be a few people who inform.

"I didn't know that the back alley was more deserted than we imagined, and as soon as we reached the entrance of the alley, we saw a woman carrying a basket to the other side of the alley, and there was a loud cry of a baby under the cloth in the basket. Voice!

"Just because we were holding a baby in our hands, we couldn't help but followed, but we heard the woman sigh and say to the basket: 'It's also your fate that was born in this family.'

"We heard something ominous, so we didn't know whether to follow here or not. But you started crying again, which alarmed the woman. We simply walked over, pretended not to hear, and asked for the nanny directly.

"That woman is really a nanny. She was hired to come to this palace. Seeing that your mother gave you a lot of money, she is very willing to nurse you.

"When your mother was chatting with her, she naturally got involved with the baby, and only then did she realize that the baby was born in the palace.

"Your mother was secretly surprised when she saw that the child was still wrapped in brocade. She thought that it would not be an ordinary person who could wrap a child in brocade in the palace, but at that time there was only the last King Guangshu left in the He family, so this child is not Guangshu." Whose will the king's be?

"After saying goodbye to the nanny, your mother followed me, and I saw the woman standing by the river, about to throw the child into the river.

"Your mother and I couldn't bear it, so we pretended to the woman that we needed to raise an adopted son to resolve the disaster, bought the child from her with money, and let him nurse you for a few days until we found someone who was willing to accompany us to Huizhou your nanny.

"I took the child back to the shop, and saw that he was born healthy and strong, but he stayed, so how can he take it to the Huo family?

"I have just adopted a newly born prince, if I still raise a child from another family, and the child's origin cannot be disclosed, will the emperor suspect that I intend to confuse the royal blood?
"After thinking about it, I want to find someone in the capital to entrust the He family's children.

"Our Huo family has made friends with many nobles in the capital over the years. I thought about it again and found that Mrs. Fu's family is about to give birth, and I just had dinner with Fu Mingjiang, the son of Guangweihou, just a few days ago. It's not bad for the He family's children to grow up in Fu's family.

"So I found him, concealed the identity of the child, and entrusted him to him. It was at night that the news of King Guangshu's death came."
