After a while, I heard people singing outside the palace to announce that Marquis Ding and Li Cheng were waiting to be summoned outside the palace.

After the two of them came in and bowed each other, the queen finally saw Lu Yanzhao, who had healed his facial injury. While she admired the doctor's ability, she also admired his handsome appearance.Marquis Dingguo, who was feared by people because of his appearance, has now become a rare handsome man in the world.

When the queen shifted her gaze to the woman next to her, she was stunned.She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the emperor's sleeve.

"Rui'er..." the queen cried out.

Zuo An, who was waiting on the side, saw this, glanced at the emperor, and after receiving permission, he immediately waved away the palace servants on both sides. He An, with his head lowered, left the dormitory and stood guard outside the door not to be disturbed by others.

The Empress called "Rui'er" to the Second Highness who died young.There are very few people in this palace who remember His Highness the Second Highness. However, no one expected that Li Cheng looked exactly like His Highness the Second Highness back then. People couldn't help but marvel at this wonderful fate.

Lu Yanzhao and Li Cheng were confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Qingrong." Emperor Changde reminded the queen.

The queen finally came to her senses. She let go of the emperor's sleeves, her expression still a little dazed.The moment she saw Li Cheng, she seemed to see the young emperor walking towards her with a smile on his face and calling her mother in a soft voice.Thinking of her son, she woke up from her dreams countless times and wet her pillowcloth with tears.

picture!so similar!Even if the other party is a woman, her appearance is really similar to her child.

Emperor Changde breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the queen had adjusted her mentality.There was no one in the Mei family, so he could understand that the queen would be excited when she saw someone with similar looks.

"I have called you here today. In addition to asking Madam Li to take my pulse again, the Queen also wants to see what kind of person can cure the disease that the imperial doctors are unable to cure."

As Emperor Changde beckoned Li Cheng to take his pulse, Li Cheng didn't think anything of it. After all, it was indeed time to consult the emperor.

The queen looked complicated, but when she remembered that her surname was Li, she pretended to be casual and asked: "Miss Li, is she coming to Beijing alone this time? Are your parents at home worried?"

Li Cheng, who was focused on two things, replied: "My mother-in-law has passed away a long time ago. As for my father..." There was a trace of ridicule on Li Cheng's lips. "The civilian daughter has been divided into households and now lives alone."

After finishing speaking, he released the finger that was taking the pulse and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, most of the toxins in your body have gone away. As long as you insist on taking the medicine and given time, Your Majesty's inner abdomen that has been eroded by the toxins will recover as before."

Emperor Changde and the Queen breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.Emperor Changde himself could also feel that his physical condition was getting better and better these days. Although the imperial doctor also told him like Li Cheng, he could only really feel relieved after hearing accurate information from Li Cheng.

Seeing that the emperor was fine, the queen put her mind elsewhere and asked, "How can you, an unmarried sister, be separated into living alone?"

Emperor Changde also nodded and said: "Although each family has their own reasons for dividing households, your father really listens to your stepmother's words. It's just that at such an age, Miss Li has no elders to support her family, so she divides the household alone. Life in that village may not be easy." Emperor Changde had no intention of hiding his knowledge of Li Cheng's background, and this was within Li Cheng's expectation.

"Miss Li, is she living in the countryside? Where is your father now?" the queen still asked.

Li Cheng gave the queen a strange look, but had nothing to hide, so he said: "I was originally doing business in the county, but before I came to Beijing, I learned that their family came to the capital earlier than me, but I didn't know where they were housed. I have never seen a folk girl before.”

"That's pitiful." The queen looked at Li Cheng lovingly. "I feel like old friends with you at first sight. If possible, I hope that Miss Li can come to the palace often to talk to me."

Li Cheng didn't know why, but it was hard to refuse the Queen's words directly. "The women of the people will obey Yi's decree."

Anyway, I said it often, not every day, let’s talk about it then!

After a few more pleasantries, Lu Yanzhao and Li Cheng left.

After the two left, Emperor Changde asked the queen: "Qingrong likes this child very much?" Even though her appearance was somewhat similar to Ruier's, it wasn't like that.

The queen said: "She is very much like the Mei family."

Emperor Changde frowned. There was no one in the Mei family outside the palace. Could it be that the queen said this... "Could it be true that what happened in Duke Cheng'en's residence..."

The queen did not tell the emperor what Mrs. Cheng said to her after entering the palace, but now that she saw Li Cheng, the queen confirmed that what Mrs. Cheng said was true.

The queen smiled and said: "After so many years, many things have been found to be unsubstantiated. They only rely on a jade pendant to confirm their identity, and it depends on whether I recognize it or not."

Emperor Changde smiled, as the queen was happy.

On the way out of the palace, Lu Yanzhao looked at Li Cheng's face and said, "Not many people remember the appearance of His Highness the Second Highness nowadays."

He had never met His Highness, but he knew that His Highness died young. How did the Queen see the similarity in Li Cheng's face at a glance?When a man is young, he cannot tell the difference between male and female. Is it possible that he really looks like Li Cheng?

"It's okay," Li Cheng said, "but the feeling the Queen gave me is a bit weird, I can't explain it."

She could tell that the queen really wanted her to come to the palace. Both Shang Yilan and Lu Yanzhao had mentioned that the queen's character was not too enthusiastic towards others, and she was very cold towards the emperor's sons.

Some people say that she did not like other princes because her son did not survive. However, over the years, no matter who was favored in the palace, the emperor never ignored the queen or let anyone get on top of the queen.

"It's good to be loved by the Queen." Lu Yanzhao advised dryly. Li Cheng looked up at him and couldn't help but smile.

Li Cheng smiled, and Lu Yanzhao was in a good mood, and suggested: "It's still early, why not go for a walk and see the progress of Yu's Tavern?"

"That's fine." He hadn't had a good stroll around the capital yet, and since the capital was so big, Li Cheng didn't think he would meet that family. It would be such a coincidence.

The two of them left the palace and left together on horseback. Although there were ladies like Li Cheng riding horses in this era, there was really no one in the capital who could ride alongside Lu Yanzhao.

There was a carriage parked on one side in front of the palace gate. The person in the carriage stretched out one hand to lift the curtain and looked at their departure. Then he smiled at the people sitting inside and said, "It turns out that this person was summoned by my father several times." Miss Li, I thought she was so outstanding that my father and Marquis Dingguo would look at her differently, but now I see she is nothing more than that."

The voice is a little loud, and it is in the stage of voice change, which is a bit scratchy to the ears.

"Xiaoba, what did third brother teach you? Don't think that your father will not know what you said, and you will be punished by him again." Another calm voice in the car said.
