Yiping looked at the boxes that were full of stuff and said, "I have to pack these things up."

I said, "Go ahead, do you want my help?"

Jinping said, "Come on, your hand hasn't healed completely yet. If anything happens, you'll have to stay in bed for a few months."

I gritted my teeth and said, "Zhao Jinping, you are cursing me!"

When Jinping heard this, he quickly said, "I'll go move the things."

As he spoke, he picked up two small cloth bags and ran away.

Yi Ping said unhappily, "You know he can't talk, why are you still angry with him?"

Yiping is a person who doesn't mind how he scolds Jinping, but he will immediately fight back when others scold him. He is a very protective person.

I know Yiping's character very well. If I were scolded by someone, she would protect me in the same way.

I took the letter from Yiping and said, "Go pack your things. I'll read this letter carefully again."

Yiping said "hmm" and turned to pack his things.

I read the letter again.

The teacher's handwriting is sonorous and powerful, and every stroke is profound. The most important thing is that the last stroke of each character is habitually curled inwards a little, which is the biggest feature of his handwriting.

This is definitely teacher Li Chengen's handwriting!

How did he survive here for ten years? How did he hide his identity from outsiders?

I was lost in thought when a voice suddenly came from outside: "His Majesty has arrived!"

I was startled by the sound and stood up involuntarily, looking out the door.

I really didn't expect Zheng Xian to come to my house at this time. Logically speaking, there is no reason for an emperor to be so idle and always run outside.

Before I could figure it out, Zheng Xian strode in, followed by Gongsun Wen.

No one knew what Gongsun Wen was busy with. Every time he was seen, he was getting thinner and thinner, almost like a paper man.

Zheng Xian said that I didn't have to kneel if I didn't want to, so when I was still standing firmly, Yi Ping ran out of the house, knelt down hurriedly, and shouted, "Long live the emperor."

Zheng Xian laughed and said, "No need to be polite, little girl."

Yiping returned the greeting before standing up and moving closer behind me.

Zheng Xian looked at me carefully and said, "A-Man has lost weight."

I pinched my waist and said, "You've lost a little weight."

Zheng Xian laughed again and said, "I am passing by the Taifu Mansion for something, so I came to visit you. By the way, I want to ask if Aunt Lu has anything to say to you before she dies?"

It was fake that he came to visit me. It was true that he came to find out about Madam Lu, but I would not expose him.

I tried hard to recall and roughly reconstructed what Aunt Lu said that day.

Zheng Xian frowned and thought.

Gongsun Wen whispered, "The willow walls in the south of the city bring a breeze. These two sentences are very interesting."

Zheng Xian looked at Gongsun Wen and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Gongsun Wen said, "In the south of Wangjing City, all the residents are wealthy merchants. Recently, I have been traveling through the streets in the south of the city day and night, but I have never seen a willow tree in the south of the city. On the other hand, there are many willow trees planted along the Wei River, which is separated from the south of the city by a wall. But that place is a place of prostitution and is extremely dirty. How can there be any fresh air?"

I slowly raised my hand and said, "Perhaps these two sentences are not to be interpreted literally."

Zheng Xian and Gongsun Wen both looked at me.

I slowly opened my mouth and said, "I think what Madam Lu wants to say is that there is a family named Liu in the south of the city. They have a clean and self-disciplined family tradition and never follow the crowd."

Zheng Xian and Gongsun Wen's faces changed when they heard this. They looked at each other and asked at the same time, "Liu Family in the south of the city?"

It seems that they both know the Liu family, otherwise the reaction would not be so big.

I said to Zheng Xian, "You might be unhappy if I tell you this, but I don't think Aunt Lu is someone who would murder the late emperor."

Zheng Xian's eyes darkened and he asked, "What is your basis?"

I said, "I have no basis, I just go by my intuition. Because a very evil person's eyes will always inadvertently reveal a hint of evil, and no matter how much he disguises himself, he can't hide the filth in his heart."

Zheng Xian looked at me steadily for a long time without saying anything. Suddenly he burst into laughter and said, "Ah Man, do you know what your greatest ability is?"

I was stunned for a moment and said, "My greatest skill? My greatest skill is that I can treat illnesses."

Zheng Xian shook his head and said, "No, Ah Man, your greatest ability is not to treat illnesses, but to judge people!"

Look at people?

I touched the back of my head. I didn't know I had this ability.

My silliness made Zheng Xian laugh even more. Zheng Xian stopped laughing, looked at Gongsun Wen, and we both nodded at the same time.

Gongsun Wen said, "Your Majesty has been out for a long time, it's time to return to the palace."

Zheng Xian hummed and said, "I understand."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he looked at me and said, "Ah Man, the capital has been a bit chaotic recently, so don't go out unless necessary. Nanny Lu has passed away, and all the palace maids have been sent back to the palace. I'm leaving the three He brothers by your side, and they can at least protect you."

The three He brothers left it to me?

I looked at Zheng Xian with some surprise and said, "I'm not a high-ranking official. Keeping so many people around me will increase my pressure. Besides, I already have Wei Chang by my side. With his skills, he should be more than capable of protecting me."

"Wei Chang?" Zheng Xian sneered and said, "He is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he said to Gongsun Wen, "Let's get going."

I noticed that Zheng Xian's expression was not quite right, probably because I rejected his kindness again. Last time I didn't take his jade pendant, he looked like he was going to eat it, so I didn't dare to make him angry again this time.

Gongsun Wen quickly bent down, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands and raised them above his head, and shouted, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

As soon as Gongsun Wen finished shouting, there was a crisp sound of people kneeling on the ground.

Seeing Zheng Xian was about to leave, I glanced at the letter in my hand and quickly said, "I still have something to tell you."

Zheng Xian looked at me as if somewhat puzzled.

I shook the letter in my hand and said, "Take a look at this letter."

Zheng Xian took the letter, glanced at it, and immediately his eyes narrowed. He said, "This is not the language of our country. Where did you get this letter?"

I said, "This is what my grandfather left behind. I don't know if you can understand it, but this text is the simplified Chinese characters of my time. Also, I suspect that my grandfather died in an accident like Zhao Shengping, and my teacher traveled through time and space to exchange his soul for his."

After hearing this, Yiping couldn't help but look up at me in surprise.

Gongsun Wen and Zheng Xian looked at each other with very complicated expressions on their faces.

Zheng Xian pondered for a moment, found a stool and sat down, and said, "Tell me the details."

I took the letter back from Zheng Xian and read the contents of the letter. Although the contents of the letter were in modern Chinese, Zheng Xian, with his clever brain, understood most of it.

Zheng Xian listened and thought without saying anything.
