Chapter 6(1/3)

·

Ziwei never expected that the Bachelor's Mansion would be a warm and friendly place. Fojin was a noble and gentle woman. Seeing the scarred Ziwei, she didn't ask anything, and immediately took out her clothes and asked the girls to wait for Ziwei to wash and change clothes. She hurriedly came to see the doctor to treat Ziwei. A few hours later, Ziwei had changed into a clean set of clothes and had re-dressed them, lying on a comfortable carved bed. She looked haggard and looked pitiful.

The concubine bent down and looked at Ziwei and said with a smile:

"Okay, when the clothes are clean, people will be much more refreshing, right? The doctor has said that the injuries are all trauma, but fortunately it's not a serious problem. After a few days of rest, it's fine!"

Seeing that Fujin was so kind, Ziwei couldn't help but look at Fujin in a daze, saluted on the pillow, and said:

"Fujin, what's the virtue of Xia Ziwei? With Lao Fujin taking care of him, Ziwei kowtows to you here!"

When Foojin heard Ziwei speak elegantly, he was slightly stunned and quickly smiled and said:

"I dare not be a lie! Since the girl has arrived in our mansion, she is a distinguished guest of our family. She should be well prepared for her injuries. Don't be polite!"

Jinsou held a medicine bowl and hurriedly walked to the bed.

"Miss, hurry up and drink this medicine. The concubine took special care of you. The doctor said, "I must drink it!"

Ziwei looked at Jinsuo, and when she thought of Xiaoyanzi, she couldn't help but feel sad. She pushed open the medicine bowl and said sadly:

"Little Swallow betrayed me like this, my heart was cold and I was dead! There was no token, my mother died, my father... I had no hope. What else is there to be alive?"

"You can't say that! You can keep the green mountains there, and you won't be afraid of burning fire!" Jin Zuo comforted urgently.

At this time, Erkang, Ertai and Fulun came in together.

Jin Zuo stood up quickly.

"Is she better?" Folun asked Fojin.

“It’s much better!”

Erkang walked to the bed and looked at Ziwei deeply. He was surprised to find that although Ziwei had a wound on her face, her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with helplessness and sadness. However, her beauty and elegance were still spread throughout her eyebrows and eyes. In her every move, her elegant temperament was almost uncoverable. Erkang stared at Ziwei and said with a smile:

"Let me introduce it first. This is my Ama, a senior official, and was named the first-class loyalty and courageous man by the emperor. My mother, you have seen it. I am Furkang, the emperor's "Walking in the Forefront" and is responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. This is my younger brother Furtae, who is also working in front of the emperor! If you know him, you should tell us who you are."

Seeing Ekang's kind face, Ziwei felt a little more at ease, so she lifted the quilt off and got out of bed. Please go down.

"Xia Ziwei pays homage to Lord Fu! I'm paying homage to Lord Fu!" He turned around and said with a blessing to Erkangertai, neither arrogant nor humble voice, "I've seen two young masters!"

Fulun was also shocked by Ziwei's noble aura and hurriedly interrogated:

"Girls don't have to be polite! What's going on with the parade today?"

"This matter is a long story!" Ziwei became excited.

"You just say it, it doesn't matter!"

Ziwei was worried and looked around.

Erkang looked back at the maids and waved:

"Everyone goes down!"

The maid withdrew and the door closed immediately.

Fulun, Erkang, Ertai, and Fujin all looked at Ziwei. Fujin helped her sit down, and everyone sat down one after another. Only Jin Suo dared not sit, and stood by the side.

Ziwei started to say:

"My surname is Xia, and my name is Ziwei, and my mother is Xia Yuhe. She lives on the shore of Daming Lake, Jinan. Since I was a child, I knew that I was a different child than others. I don't have a father, and my mother didn't talk to me about my father. If I asked anxiously, my mother would wipe away her tears and make me dare not ask too much. Although I don't have a father, my mother sold her property and hired me the best master, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays, and taught me in detail. When I was twelve years old, I also hired a master and taught me Mandarin. In this way, it was not until last year that my mother was seriously ill and could not afford to know that she told me that my father was actually the emperor today!"

Everyone looked at Ziwei, and the room was silent.

Ziwei continued:

"My mother gave me two tokens at the time of death, one was the folding fan written by the emperor himself, and the other was the 'smoky and rain picture'! I asked me to bring these two things to Beijing to meet the emperor, and repeatedly told me that I and my father must recognize each other. After I finished my mother's funeral, sold my house, and brought Jinsuo to Beijing. Who knew that when I arrived in Beijing, I realized that there were many guards in the palace. It was not that easy to meet the emperor! I had been wandering in Beijing for many days and thought of many ways, but it didn't work. Just when I was desperate, I met Xiao Yanzi, who was full of chivalrousness. As soon as we saw it, I moved to the slum in Gouweiba Hutong to live with Xiao Yanzi. The two of them became better and better, and finally became sisters..."

"Wait a minute! You and Xiaoyanzi are sisters, how could she have the same surname as you?" Erkang asked.

"Xiao Yanzi has no father or mother. She doesn't know what her surname is. She was born at that time. In order to rush to be my sister, she decided that she was born on the first day of August. Because she doesn't have a surname, I feel so pitiful, so she asked her to follow my surname Xia."

"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized and couldn't help but nodded deeply.

"Since Xiaoyanzi and I are sisters, there is no secret! I showed all the tokens to Xiaoyanzi and told her about her life experience. Xiaoyanzi was surprised and happy, and helped me think about how to meet the emperor all day long. Then it was the day when the yard was hunting. In fact, all three of us went to the yard. Xiaoyanzi led the way and asked me to climb over the big cliff in the east. Jinsuo and I were not good at rushing and could not move, and fell to the wound. There was no way, so I begged Xiaoyanzi to take my token to meet the emperor! Tell the emperor my story! Xiaoyanzi had no choice but to take my token and broke into the yard with me! From then on, I lost her news. Until today, I saw her on the street, but she had become the 'My Fair Princess'!"

Ziwei said this and everyone was shocked. Everyone was surprised. Ziwei's story was almost flawless and was too complete. Everyone stared at Ziwei blankly, studying the credibility of this story. Jin Zuo stood aside, Ziwei said a paragraph, and she cried, which made the story full of a moving atmosphere.

"My story is like this. I swear that what I said is true. But I know that it is really difficult to make you believe my story. Now, there is no token on me anymore, and everything has become unreasonable. However, Xiaoyanzi is not from Jinan. She grew up in Beijing and lives at No. 12, Gouwei Ba Hutong. Liu Qing and Liu Hong have known her for a long time. Her identity is really not difficult to find out. If Lord Fu is willing to conduct an open and secret investigation, the truth will be revealed. Only today do I realize that people's hearts are unpredictable. Xiaoyanzi and I have really become sworn brothers, and they have actually suffered this consequence. Thinking of Xiaoyanzi's disappearance, I shed tears for her, pray for her, pray for her, and worry about her... I am really heartbroken now. I no longer care whether I am a princess, but unfortunately I lost a good sister and missed the opportunity to recognize my father and daughter!" Ziwei said this, and learned from the pain and finally shed tears.

After listening, everyone looked at each other. After a long time, no one spoke.

After a while, Fulun stood up.

"I have already understood the story of Miss Xia! I think, if what Miss Xia said is true, we will definitely find a way to give you justice! At present, please stay in the mansion and take good care of your body first, and then talk about everything slowly!" As he said that, he looked back at the concubine, "Take two girls to take care of Miss Xia!"

"Don't worry, I will."

Fulun stood up and left, and Ertai followed him.

Erkang followed Fulun and took two steps, and somehow retreated.

Erkang touched the medicine bowl that had been cold on the table and had not yet drunk, looked at Ziwei and said gently:

"The medicine is already cold. I will let the girl get heated later! You must take medicine, and you must take the wounds on your body. Today... I was really offensive on the street. At that time, I had no other choice!"

Ziwei stared at Erkang and nodded with tears:

"No! You didn't offend me, you saved me! If I had fallen into the hands of others today, I would probably have died! Thank you for taking me back home, and thank you for listening to my story for telling such a long time!"

Erkang looked at Ziwei deeply, and as he looked, he became a little confused.

The Bachelor's House has a busy day.

Erkang went to the prison without stopping. Liu Qing and Liu Hong fought with the guards that day. How could he fight so many masters and were arrested? Erkang let the two out without saying anything. Then, Erkang went to the slums, visited the room where Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei lived, saw the old and Xiaoxiao in the slums, and had a long talk with Liu Qing and Liuhong. The truth was revealed! Ziwei is the real princess, and Xiaoyanzi is the fake princess!

Erkang was so shocked. She never thought that Xiaoyanzi was so bold, pretending to be a princess and committing a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, which was to kill the nine clans! However, thinking that Xiaoyanzi was poor all her life, wandering around the world, and had no education. When she encountered such a great temptation, she could transform from nothing to anything, and she probably couldn't resist this opportunity! As for whether she was guilty of crime or not, she probably couldn't care about it.

After Erkang confirmed the story of Ziwei, the first thing to be handled is Liu Qing and Liu Hong.

"I think you must be full of doubts about how Xiaoyanzi became a princess. This matter is indeed very bizarre! She broke into the yard that day, was taken down by the emperor, and brought into the palace. It was her fate. The emperor actually liked her very much, so he accepted her as the "adoptive daughter"! It's very simple, but since she is already a princess, it's best for both of you to keep your mouth shut and not to show off the princess' past so as not to cause trouble!"

Liu Qing thrust his back and said roughly:

"What's the point of causing trouble? Whether she becomes a princess or a prince, she just can't transform herself into her own! No matter how Sun Wukong changes, she is still a monkey!"

"This is wrong!" Erkang said seriously, "She has a title, a title, and a favor from the emperor... She has become a golden branch and a jade leaf, not the girl who was in the world at the time. Even if I am, I dare not call her boudoir name directly. You should also restrain yourself! Otherwise, prison disasters like today would probably come endlessly, and at that time, it would not be as relaxed as today!"

Liu Qing was stunned, his face gloomy and unstable.

Liu Hong had already heard the excellence of Ekang's words and said to Ekang in a hurry:

"We understand! From now on, we won't talk nonsense!"

"That's good!" Erkang looked at the two of them, "As for Miss Xia, she lives in our mansion for the time being, probably won't come back here to live! You should have a clue in your heart!" As he said that, he took out a ingot of silver from his arms and placed it on the table, "This, please buy some food and clothing for the old and young people in the slums! It's... Miss Xia's wish!"

Liu Qing looked suspicious and stared at Erkang. He knew the other party’s origin and heard the other party’s “important meaning”. Even if he had 1,000 or 10,000 doubts, he could only swallow it into his stomach. He took a deep breath and rushed out:

"It seems that not only Xiao Yanzi became the 'Princess', Ziwei also became a phoenix! We didn't ask anything. In this slum, Ziwei Xiaoyanzi and the others probably have their fate!"

Erkang returned to the Bachelor's Mansion and told him everything about it. The Fulun family was really shocked.

Ertai was full of favor for Xiaoyanzi and could not believe that the innocent and scheming little swallow would be a fake princess who betrayed the sworn sister and occupied the magpie nest!

"How is that possible?" He kept saying, "That 'My Fair Princess' was innocent and said something, without any scheming! The behavior and movements were completely magnificent. For her, the rules and etiquette were all nonsense. Last time she met her in the imperial garden, she was in the pavilion and drank with us. She was like a boy, naughty and straightforward, and she was a very cute and interesting person. How could she betray Ziwei and do such an unforgivable thing?"

"Whether you believe it or not, the facts are the facts!" Erkang said in annoyance, "The fake princess is in the palace, and the real princess is in the palace! This is a big mistake!"

After thinking about it, the concubine couldn't help but get anxious.

"This is a bit bad! The emperor seems to love this Condor Heroes so much. Now he has even paid the gods and sacrificed the heavens, which is equivalent to telling the world... If he had been doing it for a long time, he actually found that he was a fake princess. Where would the emperor's face be put? I'm afraid a large group of people will be implicated. The first one is Concubine Ling! The Queen and Concubine Ling have already fought to the point of being turned over. It's okay to hold this handle!"

Fulun looked terrified and said:

"Madam, what you think is exactly what I think."

"Ama means..." Erkang looked at Fulun.

Fulun looked at Erkang with sharp eyes:

"No matter what, let's leave this Miss Xia in the mansion first, so that she won't talk outside and make everyone know it! As for the fact that she is the real princess, only a few of us know that we must keep the secret! At present, nothing can be revealed..."

"So, are we doing nothing?" Erkang asked anxiously, "Have you known the truth, will you still let the fake princess continue to be glorious? I think the truth should be reported to the emperor!"

Fulun was shocked and said hurriedly:

"It's important, so you must not be too hasty. We are the family of Concubine Ling. If there is a disturbance, everyone will cause trouble!"

"So, Ziwei's identity can never be clarified! Why did the emperor take his anger to Concubine Ling when he knew he was cheated?" Erkang asked.

"If the emperor doesn't vent his anger, there will always be someone who will vent his anger! It's better to be careful! Besides, I think the Condor Hero is as beautiful as a flower, and he smiles all day long, making the emperor happy. If he really cuts his head, he will feel a little unbearable!"

As soon as Fulun said this, Ertai nodded quickly.

"Yes! The emperor laughs every time he sees the Princess. If he finds that she is fake, he might be angry! I think, let's not talk about it first. I'll find an opportunity to bring the fifth prince home and let him see Ziwei, and then study it with him. OK?"

Fulun nodded cautiously.

"Ertai said it well, don't forget that the emperor is right. The person the emperor likes is not a princess, but also a princess! I am not going to make mistakes and cover up the truth, but to find out a lot of situations, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes! These days, you go to the palace to walk more often and explore the wind first. Or, in private, talk to the Princess, and ask her if she knows Xia Ziwei, and see what she says."

"Yes!" Ertai responded.

Fulun glanced at Erkang seriously.
