"Oh? Cui Aiqing, do you know about this?"

The emperor looked at Cui Zhien, who shook her head stupidly and said honestly, "I don't know."

The emperor glanced at the secret letter on the table, which contained all the information about Zhou Ning.

"Then... did you know that your daughter is the granddaughter of the Su family?" asked the emperor.

Cui Zhien admitted it: "I know."

Unable to sleep last night, he sorted out the connections and found that the missing eldest daughter of the Su family was his first wife.

It is said that Miss Su is charming and talented, and countless young men in Qingzhou are attracted to her.

She also has a fiancé who she has known since childhood and who became the top scholar in the imperial examination at a young age.

However, such a person, just because she accidentally got separated from her family and lost her memory, actually married myself, who was still a poor person at that time.

Choi Ji-eun doesn’t know the details.

All we know is that the young lady of the Su family, who was once famous in Qingzhou, died from the day-to-day torture of her mother-in-law.

Choi Ji-eun couldn't sleep because she was worried about her bizarre life experience and her two extra daughters.

The emperor looked at Cui Zhien who was about to break, and he didn't have the heart to ask any more questions, so he just said, "Let them in."

"Princess Xuan, Miss Zhou is here to see you."

Shi Nei Shi said in a shrill voice.

Both girls were thirteen years old, an age as delicate as flowers. Besides, they were both pretty, so it was normal for people to look at them more.

only--

The emperor looked at Shen You in a daze. Only now, at this moment, did he understand Ke Chu's feelings.

After Ke Chu became the top scholar, he did not become an official. Instead, he became the man behind the emperor - an aide. The two of them always had a good relationship in private.

Last year, Ke Chu wrote a letter to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, today I saw Ming Xia's daughter. Her little girl looks very much like Ming Xia. I am heartbroken. If her daughter encounters a disaster someday, I will risk my life to save her."

In just a few dozen words, Ke Chu's love for Ming Xia is fully expressed.

Because I care about her, I care about her daughter.

Because I love her, I love what she loves.

At that time, the emperor laughed at him, saying that even if it was a resemblance, it was not the real person, so how could he be so stupid.

To this day, whenever the emperor sees Shen You, her every frown and smile, or even just standing there without doing anything, is as if she has seen that person.

When Shen You saw the emperor's reaction, he already had an idea in his mind.

Last time Wushang said that she looked very much like his elder sister, the Princess of Xia.

Before usurping the throne, the emperor was the eldest son of the historian Shen family.

The emperor at that time was a tyrannical man. The Shen family recorded the history truthfully, which displeased the tyrant, so he ordered the Shen family to tamper with the history books.

The Shen family is innocent and would rather die than obey the order.

So, Shen Lin, who was only fifteen years old at the time, was sent to Xia State as a hostage.

After Shen Lin arrived in the Kingdom of Xia, he was appointed as the princess's tutor, and it was said that he had an affair with the princess.

However, the good times did not last long. The tyrant destroyed the Xia Kingdom, wiped out the entire Shen family, and killed the Xia Princess.

Invisibly, Shen Lin was forced into a desperate situation.

However, the tyrant took a fancy to Shen Lin's talent and used Shen Lin's sister to control Shen Lin, forcing him to work like a slave for him.

Shen Lin endured the heartache and nausea and wrote a history book for the tyrant that would make him famous through the ages.

If Shen Lin had not learned that his sister had been tortured to death by the tyrant, he would have been used by the tyrant forever.

Shen Lin spent ten years planning and finally defeated the tyrant and ascended the throne.

Shen You learned from Wushang that she looked very similar to the princess of Xia Kingdom.

"Your Majesty." Shen You raised her head, smiling, and said, "Can I not call you Your Majesty?"

Shen Lin seemed to see the disobedient princess from more than a decade ago, lying on the tree, her fox eyes smiling, and she said, "Master Shen, can I not call you Master?"

"What do you want to call me?" Shen Lin lowered his voice unconsciously.

Shen You smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your last name is Shen, which means we are destined to be together. Can I recognize you as my father?"

After hearing this, Choi Ji-eun almost fell off her chair.

Shen You and Bai Li look very similar in every way except for their eyes.

Compared to Bai Li, Shen You's pair of almond-shaped eyes make her look delicate and cute. Moreover, she is still young, which makes her look even more immature.

Shen You was afraid that Zhou Ning might encounter an accident and was worried about letting her come alone.

But at this moment, she was really afraid that the emperor would like her because of this face, although... the emperor didn't seem to have that intention?

Shen Lin indeed did not have such an idea. When he looked at the cute and lively Shen You, he only felt pity and care for her.

"How old are you?" Shen Lin asked with concern, "When was your birthday?"

Shen You replied: "I am thirteen, my birthday is on March 3rd."

If Shen Lin had not investigated Shen You before appointing her as county lord, he would have thought that she was a spy from another country.

Bai Li died on the third day of the third lunar month thirteen years ago.

Xia State is today's Qingzhou. March 3rd is a very important day for the people of Xia State, or the people of Qingzhou.

According to legend, on that day, peach blossoms were in full bloom and a goddess appeared, bringing blessings to the world.

Shen Lin is now thirty-three years old, but his hair is already gray and his handsome face looks a bit tired.

"This matter is of great importance. You all should go down first."

After Shen Lin finished speaking, he turned around and drove everyone out of the room.

"Yes."

After Shen You returned, he told Zhou Ning about his guesses and thoughts.

Zhou Ning kept comforting her in a low voice and said seriously that if Shen You felt embarrassed, the worst that could happen was that the whole family would move away and live somewhere where no one knew them.

Shen Lin, who was wrongly accused of being a pervert, hid in the room and secretly wiped away his tears.

After Shen Lin finished dealing with government affairs, he couldn't sleep.

He held the wine jug and drank glass after glass, tears streaming down his face, but he dared not cry out loud.

That day, Bai Li was hacked to death by someone, leaving a bloody mess.

The beautiful, bright and willful princess finally sacrificed her life for her country and died for the people.

"Ari..."

Outside the door, Queen Ma and her maid brought midnight snacks and asked about what happened during the day.

Eunuch Shi reported the matter truthfully.

The emperor had only one queen among his six palaces, no other women, and the queen had no children. The emperor was under great pressure and neither deposed the queen nor enriched his harem, which shows how deep the relationship between the emperor and the queen was.

"You said that the emperor was stunned when he looked at a little girl." The queen felt her eyebrows twitching.

Shi Nei Shi felt sweat on his head.

"Forget it, there's nothing I can get from asking you, so I'll ask myself."

The queen took the food box and asked Shi Nei Shi and her personal maid to wait outside.

The study was dark, and the only sound was someone's breathing.

"Didn't I say that no one is allowed to come in?" Shen Lin felt someone approaching, so he quickly adjusted his mood and asked in a stern voice.
