The emperor and Concubine Zhen distributed a box full of candy on the street, the adults sent less, the children sent more, and the sweetness was sent out, and the harvest was blessings, so it was really good to earn, and it was a good thing to earn.

The two of them didn't plan to go back to the palace like this, Concubine Zhen, who hadn't had enough fun, pulled the emperor straight to the Yingxin Building, not that there was no other place to go, but that there was a place in the Yingxin Building that only belonged to the two of them on this day, it stands to reason that Emperor Daning is the co-owner of the world and will naturally have a place where he wants, but Concubine Zhen likes this, and she likes it very much.

There is a small courtyard behind the welcome building, Shen Leng and Cha Ye have lived here for a long time, even Shen Leng and Cha Ye don't know, in fact, another small courtyard only separated from their courtyard by an alley is the secret stronghold of Concubine Zhen and the emperor.

The layout of this small courtyard is almost the same as the layout of Shen Lengchaye's courtyard, the difference is that all the furnishings in the courtyard and the house are prepared by the emperor for Concubine Zhen over the years, and when they enter the door, the people in the welcome building have already prepared, and the wine and food are brought from the front building and placed on the stone table of the pavilion, and then everyone retreats.

There are swings and seesaws in the yard, but these children's playthings are what Concubine Zhen likes, and she naturally can't show these in front of the palace people, so there is this courtyard, for Concubine Zhen, this is her blessed land.

"Two punches?"

Concubine Zhen raised her fist, and the emperor snorted: "Your subordinates are defeated." ”

After a moment, the emperor looked at Concubine Zhen with a pleading face: "Okay, don't smear my face." ”

Concubine Zhen: "You've lost." ”

Emperor: "......"

After another quarter of an hour, the emperor had a little more rouge and gouache on his face, and he looked pretty good......

At the same time, Western Xinjiang.

Shen Leng sat on the wooden wall of the camp and looked out in the distance, the line of black pressure was not the flood but the army of the resting people, as expected, the resting country Zuoxian Wang Leita came with his army, it seemed that the letter that Shen Leng wrote to him did not have any effect, the 80,000 left guards stopped at least fifteen miles away from the Ning army camp, they did not take the initiative to attack, nor did they send people to negotiate, it seemed that they just wanted Chen Bing to block Shen Leng's army from approaching Wang Tingcheng.

"Looks like I'm not going to fight."

Chen Ran handed Shen Leng a carrot, and Shen Leng couldn't help laughing: "It's hard to find chickens recently?" ”

"It's hard to find anything."

Chen Ran sighed and said, "Don't talk about chickens, there is not a single chicken feather." ”

Shen Leng: "It's not that thing that you don't have a family, why do you want to be wild." ”

Chen Ran reacted after a short while, glaring at Shen Leng: "You are all generals." ”

Shen Leng: "The general also has it." ”

Chen Ran: "......"

Chen Ran looked at the sunset in the distance: "Doesn't it look like we're sitting on the dock outside Fish Scale Town watching the sunset at this moment?" ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Like." ”

At that time, the two people should not have thought that one day they would put on the general's armor, nor did they expect that they would walk all over the four frontiers of Daning, think about it, the two teenagers sat by the river and watched the sunset, and felt that Anyang City was very far away, and it was a terrible thing to leave Fish Scale Town, and now it has become a habit to go south and north.

"Leng Zi, have you thought about it, go back and see?"

Shen Leng shook his head: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I don't know what to do when I think of facing Meng Changan's mother." ”

Chen Ran nodded, he really didn't know what to do.

How ruthless was Boss Meng to Shen Leng back then? Although Meng Changan's mother didn't torture Shen Leng much, she didn't feel anything wrong when Boss Meng tortured Shen Leng, Meng Changan treated Leng Zi like a brother, but the couple never felt that Leng Zi was their Meng family.

"Meng Changan hasn't gone back either."

Chen Ran looked at Shen Leng: "He shouldn't have been able to get past the hurdle in his heart." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "How can it be so easy." ”

When he was a child, the father in every child's mind was a hero, an omnipotent person, a prophet, and even a myth, but at the age when he was full of admiration for his father, Meng Changan knew that his father was a murderous bandit, how many villagers, fathers, and how many past businessmen died under his father's knife, this kind of hurdle is not easy to overcome.

How could his mother not know about his father's affairs.

But Shen Leng and Chen Ran didn't know that Meng Changan's mother was in Chang'an.

The emperor sent someone to take Meng Changan's mother from Yuscale Town, Anyang County to Chang'an, and he always wanted to ask her in person what was going on with her child back then, but he didn't know why, the emperor had never summoned him, so Meng Chang'an's mother was trembling in Chang'an City, and there was not a day without fear.

She was in the Criminal Department, although she did not live in a prison cell, it was a small courtyard that was closely guarded, and the emperor handed over Meng Changan's mother to Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun had been waiting for the emperor's order, but this order had not come for a long time.

Just after eating that bowl of noodles, Ye Liuyun felt that he should go to meet Meng Changan's mother, because of the emperor's bowl of noodles, because of the emperor's sentence, you are my family.

The door of the small courtyard was pushed open, startling Mrs. Meng, who was sitting in a daze in the courtyard.

"Lord Ye."

After seeing clearly that it was Ye Liuyun, Mrs. Meng hurriedly got up and saluted, Ye Liuyun walked over with a slight bow, Mrs. Meng hurriedly went to make tea, she was scared when she saw Ye Liuyun, not just Ye Liuyun, everything in Chang'an City made her afraid.

There was a stone table and stone bench in the courtyard, and the two of them sat facing each other, she didn't dare to sit, but when Ye Liuyun asked her to sit down, she didn't dare to refuse.

"There's one thing you've been fearing for eighteen years."

Ye Liuyun looked at Mrs. Meng: "I have already found out that your husband was the criminal water bandit Baili Tu in Anyang County back then, and no one has pursued you since he died, because the water bandits involved are all dead, and there is no one and no evidence to prove that your husband is Baili Tu, there are several people who can prove this matter, Mr. Shen, Shen Leng, Shen Chayan, and your son Meng Changan, and they will not prove it." ”

When Mrs. Meng heard Meng Changan's three words, her shoulders trembled involuntarily.

"Have you thought about it, why are you the only one alive who is dead?"

Ye Liuyun asked again, and Mrs. Meng shook her head, her face was already white and ugly.

"Mr. Shen killed your husband to eliminate harm for the people, I don't believe you don't know that your husband is a water bandit, even if you didn't kill people together, but you know that not reporting this article is a felony, how can you be considered an accomplice to the water bandits, Mr. Shen could have killed you together, but he didn't, not because you are a woman, but because he doesn't want Meng Changan to become an orphan."

Ye Liuyun paused: "As for later, your husband's affairs are not so difficult to investigate, and no one is looking for you, it is because your son is angry, he uses his exploits again and again to prove himself, and at the same time he protects you, Your Majesty likes Meng Changan, when someone mentioned that his father was a water bandit, Your Majesty suppressed this matter, if Meng Changan himself is not angry, even if he is from Yanta Academy?" He still wants to be a general? There is a sentence I want you to remember, even if he is now a general of the Eastern Frontier, once the news that his father is a water bandit is publicized, his general will still not be able to sit still. ”

"Don't!"

Mrs. Meng stood up suddenly: "Don't touch him!" ”

"Now you know how to protect him?"

Ye Liuyun sighed softly: "Although I have a good personal relationship with Meng Changan, I don't have any respect for you, your parents didn't make him glorious, and all his brilliance doesn't belong to you." ”

Mrs. Meng asked in a trembling voice, "What does Lord Ye want to know?" ”

"Before I ask you anything, I want you to remember two things, first, I am not allowed to tell anyone what I asked you, and I will not turn over your old accounts in the house, just as a transaction, and second, I want you to be honest."

Mrs. Meng took a deep breath: "Lord Ye, please speak." ”

"How did Shen Leng pick it up?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

Mrs. Meng's shoulders trembled involuntarily.

"Are you scared?"

Ye Liuyun looked at Mrs. Meng's miserable white face: "If your husband is not a water bandit, if you are not an accomplice, then how glorious you should be at this moment, your own son, and you picked up and brought the child, are already noble generals, extremely popular ministers, your family has two great generals, this is the supreme glory, but unfortunately, I am afraid that you dare not say that you are Meng Changan's mother now." ”

Mrs. Meng's voice trembled more and more: "Over the years, many people have asked me, and Lord Ye is not the first. ”

Ye Liuyun nodded: "I know." ”

Mrs. Meng was silent for a moment: "It's not a secret, many people in the village also know that when my son Meng Changan was born, his father went to ask the Taoist to take a name, and the Taoist asked about the birth date and said, my son has a catastrophe in his life, because his life is too rich, so God does not allow him to live to the age of twenty, and after the age of twenty, he can soar to the sky, the Taoist said, if you want him to survive the disaster before the age of twenty, you have to adopt a child who is hard-working, the more bitter the life, the better, and use him to block Meng Changan." ”

She glanced at Ye Liuyun: "I just happened to pick up Leng Zi who was still in the snow, what kind of suffering is there compared to the suffering of being abandoned by my parents." ”

Ye Liuyun snorted: "When you pick up the child, is there anything on him?" ”

"No, there was only a small quilt wrapped around him, and I thought he was pitiful at that time......"

"Shut up."

Ye Liuyun snorted: "Do you think he is pitiful?" Almost the same big child, when you fed Meng Changan, did you let him eat a mouthful of milk from you? ”

Mrs. Meng lowered her head, her face becoming paler and paler.

"I don't have a good impression of you, and I can't handle you because it's just because of the two of them."

Ye Liuyun asked: "Wrap the child's small quilt, is the quilt cloth or brocade?" ”

"It's brocade!"

Mrs. Meng immediately recalled: "My family is in the silk business, so I can see that the brocade is in excellent condition, and I also told my husband that this child must have been discarded by famous families, and ordinary people are not allowed to use such things, so I also guessed whether it was the illegitimate child of an adult's family." ”

Ye Liuyun let out a long breath: "Then it shouldn't be wrong." ”

He got up: "Stay here, if no one looks for you in the future, I will arrange for you to go back." ”

"I ......"

Mrs. Meng looked at Ye Liuyun: "Lord Ye, can I see Meng Changan?" ”

"I can't."

Ye Liuyun walked out: "It's not that we don't allow it, but he doesn't see it himself." ”
