You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Manager Qu smiled and nodded.

"Whether he can swallow this loss is still unclear, after all, so many people saw it last night."

As they were talking, Mu Yunge came back.

"Zixuan, Eunuch Yao and that imperial physician really had no good intentions. When they were in the garden, they kept searching the ground."

Mu Yunge said with a smile, "Annan and the others were naughty and followed along quietly."

"Well, the secret guards interrogated Ming Xiao, the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guards. The people they sent to intercept the Imperial Aunt also suffered heavy losses. Only about a hundred people were left out of more than 300 people.

I wrote a letter back, asking whether to withdraw or continue intercepting.

At first, he wanted to continue intercepting them at all costs, but Ming Xiao begged him to give in and agreed to let them withdraw. Calculating the day they return to the capital, it is estimated that the day they return to the capital will be about the same as the imperial aunt.

Mu Yunge asked curiously, "People from the Dragon Shadow Guard should be tough, so how could they confess so easily?"

Li Mingzhao interrupted, "Mr. Xu's pills are very powerful. They can answer any question, no matter how stubborn the person is."

When it comes to interrogation methods, Mu Yunge is not surprised. An Su has also used this method before and obtained useful information from the Beijin prisoners.

"Oh, that girl An Su said she wanted to learn poison techniques from Master Xu. She's so excited to learn from someone with similar interests."

Speaking of An Su, Manager Qu looked as if he had something to say but didn't know where to start.

Zhao Jingchen looked at him strangely, "There are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want to say."

Chief Steward Qu cautiously asked Mu Yunge, "Miss, where is your maid named Anbei from?"

"I don't know. She's an orphan I took in at the border. Her mother was sick and hungry at the time, and she collapsed and never got up again. I found her by hearing her cries."

"How old is her mother? Does she have any identification?"

Mu Yunge recalled, "That was ten years ago. The woman looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old at the time. An Bei was six years old at the time. She was thin and small, and looked about four or five years old.

By the way, An Bei has a crescent-shaped jade pendant on him. The material of the jade pendant is very good and it doesn’t look like it comes from an ordinary family.”

Chief Steward Qu looked at Zhao Jingchen excitedly, "Your Highness, do you think that Miss Anbei looks like someone we know?"

Zhao Jingchen listened to the conversation between the two and was frowning in thought when he heard Manager Qu ask, "Who does it look like?"

Chief Steward Qu looked at Zhao Jingchen and Mu Yunge and said, "The eldest princess's consort, your uncle!"

Zhao Jingchen looked at Manager Qu in astonishment.

The Imperial Uncle? The man in the portrait hanging in the Imperial Aunt's room?

Chief Eunuch Qu nodded vigorously, "Back then, the eldest princess often brought her husband into the palace. Therefore, this old servant has a deep memory of her husband.

"These past few days, the more I've looked at her, the more I've felt that she looks familiar. As for the jade pendant, I've never seen it before, so it's hard for me to judge."

Zhao Jingchen clenched his fists after recalling the past, "Now that you mention it, I also think An Bei looks a bit like the emperor's uncle in the portrait.

But, Cousin Yue'er was clearly lost in the capital, how could she appear at the border thousands of miles away?"

Mu Yunge said excitedly, "I saw An Bei's jade pendant the night before."

After that, he shouted outside: "Annan, Annan!"

Annan thought something had happened and rushed in: "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Quick, go call Anbei!"

Annan saw that the expressions on the faces of the few people were strange, and thought something had happened, so he didn't ask any more questions and turned around and ran out.

A moment later, Annan came running over, pulling Anbei with him, panting, "Miss, I've brought Anbei to you."

Manager Qu, Zhao Jingchen and Mu Yunge looked at An Bei's face at the same time.

Chief Steward Qu's eyes were red with excitement. "Look closely, it looks even more like them. They're about 70% alike! Ah Zhao, go get Matron Li and Matron Jiang, and remember not to say anything."

Li Mingzhao responded and ran away quickly.

An Bei felt a little uneasy under the stares of several people: "My Lord, my Lady, why are you looking at me like that? What did Chief Minister Qu say just now that they looked about 70% similar?"

Mu Yunge happily took her hand and said, "Anbei, Manager Qu said you look like someone they know."

An Bei looked at Mu Yunge in disbelief, then at Manager Qu: "Really? Have you seen anyone who looks like me? Where are they?"

Chief Steward Qu nodded with tears in his eyes. "I have seen someone who looks very similar to you. Wait a moment, I will call the two maids who saw that person over and see what they say."

Zhao Jingchen also nodded at her, "God, I didn't think in that direction. But now that Chief Manager Qu mentioned it, I think it does look very similar."

An Bei's tears burst out, and he hugged Mu Yunge tightly with both hands, "Miss!"

Mu Yunge patted her back soothingly, "Don't be afraid. Whether it's true or not, at least we have to take a look and confirm it before we can feel at ease!"

As he spoke, Mu Yunge briefly recounted the incident of discovering An Bei that year.

Ten years ago, Mu Yunge, who was only six years old at the time, took Anton, Annan and Anxi, who he had taken in earlier, to play near his home.

suddenly.

There was a cry.

"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you? Mom, please wake up!"

Following the sound of crying, several people entered a dilapidated yard and found a thin little girl and a woman lying on the ground.

Mu Yunge hurriedly asked Annan and Anxi to go back and call for help, while he and Anton stayed on guard.

"Little sister, what's your name? How old are you?"

The little girl timidly lay on the woman's body, "My name is Nannan, and I'm six years old."

"Six years old? That's the same age as me. Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. Your mother might be sick. I've sent someone back to ask adults to save her."

The adults arrived quickly, but unfortunately the woman was already dead, so everyone had to help bury her.

From then on, Mu Yunge took the young girl in and gave her the name Anbei.

After Mu Yunge finished speaking, Manager Qu and An Bei both burst into tears.

At this time, Li Mingzhao came in with two maids.

Chief Steward Qu quickly wiped away her tears and called out, "Madame Li, Madame Jiang, please take a quick look. Does this young lady look familiar?"

An Bei quickly wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and let the two old ladies look at him seriously.

The two old maids came closer to take a closer look. "Old Qu, this girl looks so familiar, as if I've seen her somewhere before. Who is she?"

Chief Steward Qu asked excitedly, "Do you think she looks like Prince Consort Chen from back then?"

The two old maids were extremely shocked. "Prince consort? My lady, I'm sorry!"

The two men leaned in close to An Bei's face and examined it carefully. After a while, they said, "The eyebrows and eyes are indeed very similar! Oh my God, is this really the little princess that the eldest princess and her husband have lost?"

Chief Steward Qu laughed through his tears, "Are you all confused? The little princess back then is already an adult. How could she still be so young?"

Zhao Jingchen thought of something and said to Li Mingzhao, "Go, call Tianxuan over. She should have seen the emperor's uncle before. Let her come and recognize him."

After Li Mingzhao left, An Bei remembered the portrait he had hidden in his chest.

"I have a portrait of my mother! I've loved painting since I was a child. The uncle who lived next door to us could paint, and I learned from him for three years.

After my mother passed away, I was afraid I would forget what she looked like, so I drew a portrait of her and carried it with me.

Everyone became excited again.

"Quick, take it out and show it to everyone!"

An Bei quickly and carefully took out the portrait and unfolded it...
