Chapter 921: Sorrow and anger

At the gate of Cao's mansion, Cao Yuan had already received the news and came out with his people.

Cao Yong turned over and dismounted and asked in a low voice: "Are you ready for everything?"

Cao Yuan hurriedly said, "We are all ready. I know that I am entering the city today. Cao Fang has already brought Qian Li and Zhao Gang and waited over."

Cao Yong nodded. At this moment, Dudley also dismounted and walked towards Cao Yong: "Master Cao, after finishing his errands, the subordinates will take everyone back to the camp first, and come to pay tribute to Master another day."

"Along the way, more advice from adults." Cao Yong's "Thank you" was sincere.

He also realized that Dudley was not a good person, but he had been rude about his own way. Although he didn't know who he was in love, Cao Yong was grateful for his kindness.

Seeing that Cao Yong was serious, Dudley was a little uncomfortable, and hugged his fists and took the five hundred guards back to the camp.

When we passed the Xidan Archway, we saw several big carts parked on the side of the road, and there were several people dressed in butlers standing next to the cart.

Those people were staring at the intersection. Seeing Dudley bringing people to the front, they stepped forward and said, "Is it right now that I am Lord Da, the guardian camp?"

The guard camp is the emperor's personal army, and the outfits are customized. In addition, the emperor is not in the capital, and hundreds of guards enter the city, so they can't help but not attract attention, so the visitor is not afraid of admitting their mistakes.

Dudley said with a straight face: "It's Da, who are you?"

Although I said it, I already knew that I was from the Cao Mansion. Because among these people, two of them were Changsui who followed Cao Yong a few days ago.

I didn’t see them at the inn yesterday, so I thought I would go back to Beijing first.

He heard one of them approaching two steps and sang: "Return to the words of the great master, the villain is Cao Fang, a servant of the Cao Mansion. I came to thank you for your orders by my wife, Mrs. Bo Tai. He said that, he pointed to the carts and said: "Because you are tired of escorting Mrs. Bo Tai, you miss the big affairs of the circumference. Mrs. Bo Tai was very uneasy. This is the rice cake box prepared by Mrs. Bo Tai. It is our wife who is very considerate. We hope that the adults will be very considerate."

Dudley was still listening immediately at first, and when he heard "Madame Bertha" he got off.

If it were ordinary women from the Earl's Mansion, he would not have let him take this into consideration, but when he came back from the Great Wall, he also knew about the speculations of the Lady Beth.

Not to mention that he is a little third-rank genius leader, even the prince and Beile of the capital are not qualified to be proud of that person.

He knew in his heart that this was a box of cakes on the surface, but there must be money inside, otherwise the Cao family would not have made a special trip to arrange these things, and even pointed out the matter that had misplaced everyone's siege.

He dared to refute the face of the lady, and the second was that the manager replied at the top of his voice, and the military school heard it. If he refused, he would be unfamiliar inside and outside.

Dudley could only smile bitterly. Cao Yong looked like a real person, but he was sloppy in dealing with things.

If Cao Yong had come on the road or at the gate of Cao's mansion, Dudley could refuse righteously; now in the name of the Grandma, Dudley could only bite the bullet and thank the Grandma for his reward...

Cao Mansion, Lanyuan.

Li only got the news yesterday and knew that his son returned to Beijing today.

The news suddenly came. She was worried about whether her son was injured again, but after hearing someone's reply, she said that her son had no mistakes at all, but was ordered to return to Beijing and felt at ease.

After reassuring, she found it funny.

She knew that her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship, and thought that her son had the news that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, so she found Yuko and asked for an order to return to Beijing.

After the funny thing, she also had some taste of food and complained that her son had forgotten his mother after marrying a wife. Thinking that when she was in Jiangning in the early years, her husband was busy with errands, but she still stayed alone in the empty bedroom.

Even so, her love for her son calmed down her anger and waited happily for her son to come back. In the past morning, she asked someone to go to the second door to ask several questions.

When Cao Yong entered the second gate, Li could no longer hold back and took Chu Yu to wait in the gate.

Seeing her son coming in, she looked at him several times, but she still felt a little distressed and sighed: "It has been cleared a lot, and her face has been tanned."

"Why did my mother come out..." Cao Yong handed the bag in his hand to the old lady next to him, took two steps forward, and walked to Li's face.

Seeing her face full of pampering, Cao Yong felt a little uneasy as he thought that he had heard what Cao Yuan said just now that there was something in the capital.

"You came back from a long distance. I am not a 70-year-old girl. What's wrong with Yingying's son?" Li said with a smile: "Why don't you see your wife? She has suffered a lot these days. Fortunately, you are back and I can recite Amitabha."

Cao Yong looked at his wife and saw that her little face had become thinner. His eyes looked at him with joy, but he could not hide his lust.

She was wearing loose clothes and soft-soled shoes, and she was still pregnant after more than three months of pregnancy.

Cao Yong's realization fell on his wife's abdomen, and his anxiety became even more intense. He had just suspected it before, but now it proved that he and his wife were close relatives.

This child... Tianhui... he just felt confused...

Seeing his strange expression and not speaking for a long time, Li couldn't help but show some concern, and Chu Yu's heart also raised.

Cao Yong noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he sighed and said to Li: "Let's go back to your mother's side first, your son has something to say to his mother." After that, he said to Chu Yu: "It's a family matter, you can come here too."

When he arrived at the upper room of Lanyuan, Cao Yong opened the bag he was carrying, revealing several sandalwood boxes inside, opened the lock with the key, placed it aside, and said to Li: "This is the property given to his mother by the Queen Mother. My son came back from Mongolia in advance to escort these property back to Beijing. These are orders, so please keep it. If you like something, you can ask someone to find it according to the book."

When Li heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager... hasn't she died?"

"This batch of property was kept by the Prince's Mansion in Korqin, and the Empress Dowager left her last order in her early years, so they brought it to the imperial court this year." Cao Yong replied simply.

The Empress Dowager had to give her several rewards every year.

Now that I heard that I was involved in the foreign vassals and the empress dowager's family, Li was really flattered.

She picked up a booklet handed over by her son, took a look, and her face changed, and her hands trembled.

"Is it because I remembered it or the inheritance of this fate? How is that possible?" Li opened his eyes wide open, and was sure that he had read it correctly, and asked with a frown.

Chu Yu sat by the side, feeling his heart was "raised" and "raised".

Since it is the finance transported back from the grassland? Isn’t it because it is transported back with the Bahrain department? Why is it involved in Korqin?

She thought her mother-in-law was the illegitimate daughter of the late Emperor Zeng's grandmother, and only thought that these were the private money left by Emperor Zeng's grandmother.

Cao Yong could no longer hide some words from his mother, but it was not easy to mention them in front of his wife. He said, "In addition to these things, the emperor also pointed to someone who came over. He was the old man in the empress dowager's lifetime. He said that he had worked as a servant in our family, but in fact he was just looking for a place to retire!"

Speaking of this, he said to Chu Yu: "This man was the eunuch in charge of the Empress Dowager's harem. He was not easy to be slow with the grade. He asked people to clean up a quiet yard and he would arrive in a few days."

The person who pointed to it was an eunuch. Chu Yu looked surprised, and Li was also stunned, showing a little panic.

Cao Yong gave his wife a look, and Chu Yu took advantage of the excuse of arranging supper.

Seeing his wife go out, Li can no longer help and said uneasy: "Why is the emperor sending eunuchs to our family? Is it because of the gold? Even if the pie is lost in the world, it is too big. What does the emperor mean? Don't cause disaster to our family anymore?"

During the journey back to Beijing from the Saint-God, Cao Yong was wondering how to tell his mother this. After all, he was also guessing and confused. Apart from the abnormal attitudes of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, there was no evidence.

"Mother, do you still remember the gossip that was arranged outside a few years ago?" Cao Yong asked tentatively.

"Go to tell me that I am the daughter of the eldest princess or the noble daughter of the royal family?" Li said: "Why did you mention this? It's just that the empress dowager who is a man of the outsider treats me well and makes trouble for nothing. If I am really the daughter of the eldest princess Shuhui, even if I can't raise it in Mongolia, there are so many powerful families in the capital, I don't have to send it to the south."

"Where is the noble daughter of the royal family? Have you ever thought about it?" Cao Yong asked afterwards.

Li was a little hesitant. In the years in the capital, he had heard a lot about the struggle between wives and concubines in the prince's mansions.

In recent years, she has been wondering whether she is the daughter of the Li family or the adopted daughter of the Li family.

If it was really the daughter of the Li family, why did the empress dowager lose her composure when she saw her? If it was the first time that she admitted her mistake, she would always have some reasons for her favor in the next few years.

If it weren't for the daughter of the Li family, who were their biological parents? Why did they abandon themselves? They didn't recognize each other for decades?

Li can't think, nor dare to think.

"If you are a noble girl, why should you rely on someone else's roof? Since you are a noble girl, how can you use her noble girl?" Li said with a pale face and gritted her teeth.

Although Cao Yong also felt that Kangxi was not treated well, he did not want his mother to be depressed because of his life experience, and explained: "Maybe the elders of my mother have inhumane difficulties that they cannot recognize her."

Li raised his head, looked at his son, and said with a little sadness and anger: "What have you heard of? Tell me quickly...that the so-called elder...who is the so-called elder?"

Seeing his mother so excited and her breathing became rapid, Cao Yong hurriedly said, "Mother, please be calm and don't get angry!"

Li stroked his chest and said, "I'm fine. You kid, why don't you say that you are going to be anxious to death?"

"If the child is expected, the mother's biological mother should be the family of the empress dowager and was posthumously named Borjigiet, who was posthumously conferred the title of Concubine Hui." Cao Yong said.

"Chasing the Crown?" Hearing these two words, Li's face turned pale. After a while, he noticed that there was "Concubine Hui" behind him. He couldn't help but speak in surprise: "How could he be a concubine in the harem? Isn't it related to the royal prince?"

She is kind-hearted and never speculates people's hearts with malicious intentions. Even though she knows that she may be an abandoned child, she has thought of several last resorts for her parents who abandoned her.

But I never thought that my life experience would be related to the emperor whom my husband had been loyal to him all his life.

If you talk about the details, only Kangxi himself will know.

Cao Yong weighed and passed on what Mr. Zhuang said to his mother, except for the guesswork of Concubine Hui's life experience. Mr. Zhuang thought Concubine Hui was Wu Sangui's granddaughter, so he could not gain a foothold in the harem. This was obviously a mistake in the guess.

Judging from the number of dowry in this batch, it is comparable to that of the mother of the country.

Cao Yong even believed that this Concubine Hui was the real noble daughter of Korqin, otherwise the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager would treat each other differently.

Everyone knows that the brothers Kangxi and Prince Yuxian are most acquaintances. In order to bridge the brotherly relationship, it is reasonable to exile a woman.

It is just that Cao Yong didn't know why the pearl fetus was secretly knotted and why it could not be raised in the palace.

After hearing this Mongolian princess was attracted by the emperor and Prince Yu's brothers, Li was stunned for a while and shook his head and said, "Will the emperor misunderstand it? It's true that your grandmother is a bannerman, but it was because of your grandfather that I was married to me. How could it be that Mongolian princess?"

This sentence made Cao Yong confused.

The "grandmother" here definitely does not refer to Gao.

Although Dorgon formulated the ban on the failure to marry the banner people at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the rules are dead and people live. When they are truly married, they are registered as the banner.

Just like this Gao family, they are authentic Han people. Although they are also in the flag, they are used to living in the south and still regard themselves as Han people.

"Since I was eight years old, I knew that I was a concubine daughter, not the old lady. The person who gave birth to me was the outer room of my father, who gave birth to my mother, and died after giving birth." Li's voice was a little melancholy: "At that time, I was timid and afraid that the old lady would be annoyed, so I pretended not to know."

"How could my mother know this?" Cao Yong felt sad when he saw his mother's face, and his heart was heavy.

"It was because I accidentally heard the old lady persuade the old lady to know that the old lady hated your grandfather..." Li became even more sad when he thought of the past.

Cao Yong finally understood why his mother was so self-righteous and self-righteous and "popular" that she thought she was growing up on people's faces, and she would be strange if her personality was not suppressed.

"How can the blood of the Tian family be a joke? If it weren't for certainty, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would not have been grateful one after another. Perhaps, the misunderstanding was the Li family and the old lady. Mr. Zhuang said that there was a Manchu noble daughter who went out of the palace with Empress Hui, perhaps the one who was Mrs. Ru, who was the grandfather of his grandfather." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

"What Yong'er means..." Li's face turned pale and scared of others, and he asked at his son.

"According to my son's opinion, my mother is in the royal bloodline." Cao Yong replied affirmatively.

As the news of the imperial prefecture spread in the capital, these gossips were indispensable. Cao Yong hoped that his mother would have a clear idea and avoid being scared when she got it.

"If so, why doesn't the Empress Dowager recognize me, why... Why doesn't the Emperor recognize me?" Li whispered in a low voice with grief and anger.

"Emperor's affairs must be included in the history books. Perhaps this early past is something that cannot be tolerated by historical writing..." Cao Yong stepped forward, gently held his mother's shoulder, and comforted him: "Mother, if they don't recognize him, they won't recognize him. Is our family good enough? Who cares about having more relatives?"
