On the evening of that day, Empress Tangyuan was preparing for the feast of the return of Emperor Feiyunxiao in the palace. Suddenly, the maid Lu Shu presented a mysterious letter without a signature.

Queen Tangyuan opened the letter in confusion, and the hint in the letter told the story of a princess from a certain country in Nanqiang, which made Queen Tangyuan a little puzzled.

Tangyuan threw the letter aside and said, "What does this have to do with this palace?"

After a while, she picked up the letter and looked carefully: "...As a princess, you must shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring the country, and do not forget the national humiliation... If you do not obey the order, you will be in danger."

Tangyuan repeatedly thought about it and according to what the letter said: It is a letter sent to a princess of a certain country, why is it the name of this palace, and it also signed a personal name? What is going on?

"Shu'er, who sent this letter?"

The maid Lu Shu said, "Empress, I see that the letter paper looks like an imperial pen in the Qinzheng Hall. I guess it was the emperor who sent someone to put it in the letter trunk."

Tangyuan then noticed the quality of the letter paper. It was indeed similar to the letter paper used by Fei Yunxiao, and it was both red and gold bordered. If you didn’t look closely, you really didn’t find the difference between the two.

However, the letter paper is thicker and the workmanship is relatively rough. The letter writer writes extraordinaryly, and the handwriting is strong and powerful. When the dumplings hold the letter, their mood gradually becomes complicated.

So, she decided to remain calm and secretly send her confidant female official Murong Ji to investigate, and at the same time transferred Yizhen and other secret guards to her side.

"Murong, take a closer look at this letter..."

"Yes, Empress, does this letter... still others know?"

“No…”

Tangyuan glanced at Lu Shu who was cooking tea and continued, "Remember, don't let Your Majesty know!"

"I understand, go and investigate thoroughly!"

Tangyuan looked at Murong Ji, who was meticulous and cautious, hugged her with satisfaction and said softly: "Go, God knows this, the earth knows, you and I know!"

As dusk fell, Murong Ji first came to Taoyuan, where the dumplings were born. It was a remote town. Murong Ji dressed up and mixed in with a private house in the town.

Immediately afterwards, she tried every means to learn about the former residence of Tang Mansion and her former neighbors. However, there was no ruin of the Tang Mansion's ancestral home here.

Murong Ji was not discouraged and carefully observed. A few days later, she finally found out that a family surnamed Yang was close to Mrs. Tang, Liu Fengyun, who was a close neighbor.

Today, the Yang family has only two grandparents and grandsons. Grandma Yang is weak and sickly. She relies on her grandson to take care of medical treatment all year round. Although her grandson Yang Jian is not as young as the one who is young, she has been in and out of the mountains and forests with her hunter father Yang Quangui since she was a child and has learned a lot of hunting skills.

Two years ago, in late autumn, a disaster came. Yang Quangui went to the mountain to hunt, but he didn't come back half a month later... Yang Jian's mother hurried into the mountain to find her husband, but unexpectedly there was no news.

In this way, the originally happy and beautiful family was only Yang Jian’s grandparents and grandchildren. Murong Ji also learned from the neighbors that although Yang Jian was not old, he was a sensible, brave and filial child.

It is said that poor children are already in the family, and this is true. Yang Jian inherited his father's hunting skills and even surpassed his ancestors, which gave his grandmother a stable life.

On that day, Murong Ji followed Yang Jian into the back mountain of Taoyuan. Yang Jian came to a pit to check and muttered: "Hey, strange, it's been several days, why didn't even catch a rabbit?"

At this time, Murong Ji, dressed in a hunter and carrying a few rabbits in her hand, appeared. She said with a gaze: "Why, brother, are you digging a well pit? Tsk tsk... It seems useless?"

Seeing that he was full of energy and looked proud, Yang Jian hummed angrily: "No wonder he couldn't beat him. It turned out that he had to take him away!"

"Hahaha... I'm better at it. Do you want to learn from me?"

Murong Ji said, throwing the two rabbits over: "I'll give it to you, I'll go home and stew the soup for your grandma to drink!"

Yang Jian said angrily: "Who wants you to give alms!..."

Murong Ji smiled faintly, walked over and patted Yang Jian's small shoulder blade, and said understandingly: "Take it, brother, after you hunt next time... I will return it to me?"

When Yang Jian heard this, he felt very happy and scratched his ears and said, "Brother, you are so awesome! Hey... why haven't you seen you before?"

"Hey, my hometown is in trouble. I just came here... I hope my brother will take care of Murong, well, thank you for your good neighbor!"

Yang Jian rubbed his hands and bowed, "Where, Brother Murong, please take care of him!"

In this way, after a while, Yang Jian also introduced that other people in the town met Murong Ji. After living in the second half of the month, Murong Ji became familiar with people from the town.

That evening, Murong Ji cooked a pot of tempting and fragrant rabbit meat and bought several bottles of corn to Yang Jian's house. When Grandma Yang saw it, she was so happy that she quickly invited several other good neighbors.

The villagers are very simple, with wine and meat, eating and drinking. After a while, everyone will be like old friends, and the atmosphere of chatting will be getting better and better.

Murong Ji started chatting with the elderly Mr. Shui. Mr. Shui narrowed his turbid eyes, recalled the past, and said slowly: "I don't know that although our Taoyuan is not big, it is a town with outstanding personalities."

"Is that right, uncle, tell me?"

"Many years ago, there was a concubine named Yizhen in Taoyuan. This Yizhen is a beautiful and kind person with a heart of bodhisattvas!

Si Aniang, who was standing beside him, said proudly: "Not only is the Queen Yizhen, but also the Liu family. The second girl of his family also worked as a female official in the Daye Kingdom Palace... Hey, these people were gone later!"

Hearing this, Murong Ji hurriedly asked with a smile: "My grandma, uncle, the most prestigious family in our town was the Liu family?"

Grandma Yang said: "Where does it seem, there is a Tang family. The descendants of the Tang family are prosperous. The eldest son Tang Daming and the second son Tang Dahui. These two brothers are smart and have a good business lifestyle, so they are very powerful!"

"Oh?... I finally heard about the people related to the Tang family!" Murong Ji was a little excited and hurriedly added wine and meat to everyone.

Then he asked in a guided manner: "Then, uncle, aunt, are the descendants of the Tang family still in Taoyuan?"

"Uh... it's gone, I remember that the two brothers Tang Mingda have been doing business abroad for many years... and later they have developed."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Yes, after the Tang family became prosperous, they moved to Yingzhou City... Hey, it's still the brothers who are capable!"

"Come on, eat food, drink wine, haha..."

After a while, the slightly drunk A Niang Si said, "Oh, Uncle Shui, have you forgotten? The niece of Miss Liu Er's son-in-law also seems to be the surname Tang... Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Murong Ji smiled and said, "Well, it's a coincidence... thia!"

Grandma Yang interrupted, "Brother Murong, this is not a coincidence. Mrs. Liu, hey, is Miss Liu Er's eldest brother Liu Ruhai, who is the county magistrate of Jichuan County, Yingzhou, and is a good person!"

Hearing this, Murong Ji was happy!

Although the ancestors of the Tang family had already moved out of Taoyuan Town, Liu Ma was a worker in the former Daye Kingdom Palace and was still the old maid of the Imperial Princess Yizhen... Well, during the court coup...

Murong Ji thought: I should find Mama Liu first... Yes, that's it!

So Murong Ji quickly recorded all these details, and that night, he began to check the household registration information and family records of Taoyuan Town.

In the dusty archive room, Murong Ji carefully looked through the yellowed paper, not missing any clues that might be related to the queen's life experience.

Hard work pays off. After several days of searching, Murong Ji finally found a vague record. The above mentioned that Yi Zhen, the imperial concubine of the Great Night Kingdom, came from a long-declined nobleman in Taoyuan Town.

Princess Yizhen, what is the story of her after entering the palace? Is her daughter still alive?

Murong Ji tried hard for a while before she found the descendant of the playmate of Princess Yizhen when she was young, an old lady named Qiongzhi.

According to her recollection, Princess Yizhen was a very nostalgic, kind-hearted and beautiful woman. In that famine and turbulent era, even if she was a concubine in the imperial palace, she was not rich.

However, she, who is kind, would send palace servants to Taoyuan Town every once in a while to send money and food to the elders of her hometown. Therefore, a song has been circulating in Taoyuan Town: Taoyuan is a good place, and Niang Yizhen is in the temple, giving imperial grain and imperial grain. Niang Yizhen is a Bodhisattva, and she will not be hurt in her famine years!

Grandma Qiongzhi talked about the uprising of the Emperor Zhen, sometimes she felt moved and sometimes she was sad... and her eyes were swaying, and she was about to cry.

"Hey, Concubine Zhen is as good as Bodhisattva, she shouldn't have been so miserable... Old woman, I heard from my mother that when Empress Yizhen passed away, the little girl in her arms was less than a hundred days... It was so terrible!"

"Oh? Then is her little girl still alive? What happened later?"

Grandma Qiongzhi wiped her tears with her dry fingers and said in a low voice: "Poor little Nannan, although she is a princess... I'm afraid she has no way to live. Cough, how can she have a future..."

...

Just as Murong Ji continued to dig deep into the clues, something big had already happened in the palace of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that a man in black sneaked into the palace and silently placed a secret letter with an arrow on the dragon case of Qinzheng Hall.

The eunuch Xu Defu, in front of the imperial eunuch, presented a secret letter in panic, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, who is this? You are too brave..."

Fei Yunxiao opened the secret letter and looked carefully several times, sneering: "It seems that they... are really unable to hold back!!!"

"Your Majesty...who are they...? What do you want to do?"

The cold eyes of Feiyunxiao swept over, and Eunuch Fu was so scared that he stood aside like a quail.

"Hurry, tell me Yishu, Yiguang!"

After a while, two fox shadows swept in. When they saw the emperor with a frosty expression, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Fei Yunxiao raised his eyes, stared at the secret guard for a while, and said in a cold tone: "Two dear friends, are you still competent in your errand?"

Yishu glanced at Yi Guang and said knowingly: "Your Majesty forgives your crime, my subordinate is stupid, I would like to ask for instructions!"

Fei Yunxiao's eyes were like torches, and he waved the secret letter to Yishu. Yishu glanced at him and bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I am dereliction of duty, and I deserve to die for the crime!"

Fei Yunxiao stared at them without saying a word, and saw large beads of sweat rolling down from Yishu's smooth forehead. Yishu nodded slightly, and under the straight eagle's nose, biting her thin lips tightly.

"Go and check it out, three days, reply to me!"

"Yes, my subordinates receive the order!"

Seeing the secret guard leave, Fei Yunxiao fell into deep thought... After a long time, he looked up at Xu Defu and asked seriously: "Defu, the case of Cang Ling Gong, if you are me... how should you deal with it?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, how can I know these big things... Don't make things difficult for me!"

After saying that, Defu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Fei Yunxiao sighed and shook his head and said, "...get up, if you don't know, why kowtow!"

"Thank you Your Majesty! Thank you Your Majesty!"

Defu rolled up his sleeves and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Empress has been here in the morning. This is the list of guests invited to attend the celebration banquet. Your Majesty, you need to make a clear decision as soon as possible. The Empress can also prepare it..."

"In addition, the Empress also asked whether the General Shangguan Zheng, who was stationed in the north, would be recalled?"

Fei Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "I will write an order to make the clouds and the clouds... go back together!"

"Yes, I understand that when they come back, the palace will be lively... How great!"

"Is that so? The palace is very deserted over the years?"
