Chapter 325 Dialogue between Xue's Father and Son
Finally, he tried the chili fried eggs. The slightly spicy taste stimulated his taste buds and whetted his appetite: "This chili is really a good thing. It can make the food more delicious."
After finishing the meal, the emperor said with emotion: "This meal left me with an endless aftertaste. You did a great job, keep up the good work."
Xue Qing: "Thank you Mr. Huang for the compliment!"
The emperor stood up and said, "I enjoyed talking with you today, and this meal left a deep impression on me. Let's make a promise that I will come to eat again next time."
Xue Qing quickly bowed and said, "Welcome to come again next time, old man."
After seeing off Mr. Huang and arranging matters at the farm, the two returned to the general's mansion.
Zhenguogongfu
The maid Xiaoqing whispered in Xia Xuelian's ear: "Wang Yong has returned to the capital, but..."
He glanced at Xia Xuelian and continued, "It's just that I haven't found the person I'm looking for yet."
Xia Xuelian's face was gloomy: "Waste"
Zhenguogongfu
Xue Zhong returned to Zhufeng Courtyard and found the father and son in the study.
"Father, I have seen the child," Xue He said calmly.
Xue Zhong said in a slightly tired voice: "The child already knows his own life experience."
After Xue Zhong finished speaking, Xue He stood up in shock, his eyes instantly reddened: "That... when I met her that day, she already knew... but the child was so calm."
Xue Zhong asked: "Do you know why the child could face us so calmly after knowing her life experience? She was assassinated before, and I suspect... I suspect the person behind it is the Zhenguogong Mansion."
Xue He stared with red eyes after hearing this: "Father, why? Why would she think like this?"
"This child is extremely smart, she is indeed extraordinary! She grew up in the countryside and can actually see through some things, but she is now in the fog and cannot get a glimpse of the whole picture, otherwise..."
Xue Zhong didn't say anything else.
Xue He thought of Xue Qing's current situation and said, "Father, she is now in the capital as the owner of Youranju. Two days ago, she moved into the Dingyuan General's Mansion, which was newly appointed by the emperor."
Xue Zhong asked in confusion: "General Dingyuan? But his name is Wu Yu?"
Xue He asked in surprise: "How did father know?"
Xue Zhong sighed: "Wu Yu was originally a villager from Shilibao, Anyang. It is said that he was forcibly conscripted into the army. He fought bravely, but I didn't expect that in just two years, he became a general of the fourth rank."
After a pause, he continued, "Do you know that the Wu family is the family that the Xia couple sold Qing'er to, and that Wu Yu is Qing'er's fiancé?"
A trace of relief flashed across Xue He's face: "Qing'er's fiancé is General Dingyuan. I hope he can protect Qing'er for the rest of her life."
Xue Zhong shook his head: "Mrs. Wu is a kind person, but Qing'er doesn't seem to be satisfied with this marriage."
Xue He asked anxiously: "Father, can we now..."
Xue Zhong interrupted him directly: "No"
Inside the Imperial Palace's Study
Zhang Wei, the emperor's most trusted imperial guard, was kneeling on the ground reporting everything he had found out about Wu Yu.
"General Wu, you have an elder brother, Wu Peng, who is currently in the Chu family military camp. His parents are still alive. His father, Wu Tong, has a childish voice and is a scoundrel. He committed adultery with a widow from the same village, and he told his mistress that Wu Yu was not his biological son. Ling's family has a child bride, but the identity of this fiancée is somewhat coincidental."
The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at him with cold eyes.
Zhang Wei continued, "This fiancée is the adopted daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, Xia Xueqing."
The emperor asked, "Where is Xia Xueqing now?"
Zhang Wei looked a little surprised, and then replied: "He is already in the capital. It is said that he moved into the Dingyuan General's Mansion two days ago."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Step back."
"Li Jun, don't you think this is God's will that cannot be violated?" The emperor stood up and walked out of the desk.
Li Jun bent over and stretched out his arm for the emperor to put his hand on: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. This is the will of heaven and cannot be violated."
"Leave the palace incognito tomorrow and go to General Dingyuan's mansion. I want to see Xia Xueqing," the emperor ordered.
Although he was leaving the palace incognito, for safety reasons he had to notify Wu Yu in advance, but he must not alert other people.
"The young man on the farm today is quite good. If he can cultivate these crops successfully, he may be able to bring great help to the people of our Great Zhou in the future." The emperor thought of the young man he met today, who was full of vigor and vitality. Seeing him was like seeing himself when he was young.
Li Jun nodded repeatedly: "I didn't expect that there is such an ambitious young man in the capital. This young man is called... Oh, you see, I can't remember it all of a sudden."
The emperor laughed and said, "You old man, you are a few years younger than me, but your memory is not as good as mine, Wu Qing."
Li Jun quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Wu Qing, look at my memory! I really deserve a beating."
Although Wu Yu has been conferred the title of fourth-rank general, he has not been given any substantive position, so he does not need to attend court every day. The emperor calls it recuperation.
next morning
As soon as the palace gate opened, Zhang Wei walked out of the palace and headed straight for General Dingyuan's Mansion.
Zhang Wei saw Wu Yu in the study: "General Wu, sorry to bother you!"
Wu Yu bowed and said, "Guard Zhang, please take a seat!"
Zhang Wei did not sit down, but said in a businesslike manner: "The emperor will come to the general's residence in disguise today, please wait at home."
Wu Yu's face flashed with surprise, and then he bowed and said, "I obey your command and will welcome the emperor at home."
After Zhang Wei left, Wu Yu first went to Xue Qing's yard.
Xue Qing was very surprised: "So early, something big happened?"
Wu Yu walked into the hall and sat down: "Today the emperor came to the general's mansion in disguise"
Xue Qing was surprised, and then a look of anticipation appeared on his face. This was a rare opportunity.
She would never have thought that she would see the legendary emperor here.
Wu Yu saw that Xue Qing's face was actually full of excitement: "Qing'er, why are you so happy?"
Xue Qing said with an expectant look on his face: "Not to mention that he is your biological father, he is the emperor, a unique identity in the world!"
Wu Yu laughed and said, "Maybe he came to see your future daughter-in-law."
Xue Qing slapped his forehead, wondering how he could have forgotten this: "Hurry up and find someone to replace him."
Wu Yu rolled his eyes at her and said, "You just said that he was the emperor. Finding someone to replace him is a crime of deceiving the emperor and is punishable by death."
Xue Qing was a little annoyed at this time: "What are you talking about? Didn't we agree before? We will be friends from now on. What do you think we should do now?"
A sly look flashed across Wu Yu's eyes: "Since we are here, let's make the best of it."
When Liu heard that the emperor was coming, she couldn't help but feel nervous, and Ding was even more nervous.
Xue Qing comforted the two and said, "The Emperor will arrive in the evening, so take it easy and don't be nervous. You may get beheaded."
