"What's wrong with my identity?" Shen Lingyuan pointed to himself, "Could it be that I'm still some kind of person who can't be tolerated by heaven?"

Shen Lingyuan really didn't expect that Hualou nodded.

Hualou said very firmly: "Yes. Actually, you can't be regarded as a native of Rin country, because half of Beili's blood is still flowing on your body."

"This, how is this possible?" Shen Lingyuan's eyes flickered, but he refused in his heart, "I never heard my father mention it!"

Hua Lou sighed and was about to speak, when she suddenly remembered something, "Young Master, please wait for a while."

After finishing speaking, she walked to the door, opened it and called out: "Cheng Yi, come here."

After a while, the woman in the orange dress appeared at the door, unexpectedly she was really called Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi was short and asked, "What did my sister call me?"

As she spoke, she glanced quietly into the room, and looked back at Shen Lingyuan for a moment.

Hua Lou is so sensitive, and she is a girl who has been trained and taught by herself, so she naturally knows what she is thinking, she chuckled softly, and said softly, "This young man is the son of my old friend, and he will live here these days. I will go and tell Tao Hong and the others that they must never do anything unreasonable in the future."

"Yes." Cheng Yi obediently agreed.

Hualou nodded in satisfaction, and then issued an order: "Now the situation in Xinxia is unstable, I decided to close the door to rest for a few days. Now you go and hang up the rest sign and lock the door."

Cheng Yi looked very surprised: "But Mr. Gao has already booked a banquet tonight, if we cancel it now..."

That Mr. Gao seems not a good character, Hua Lou bowed his head and pondered for a moment: "Well, once you let Tsing Yi take my token to Gao Mansion, you say let him sell Hua Lou to save face, and wait for this After a while, the limelight has passed, and Hua Lou will definitely come to the door in person to make amends."

Cheng Yi showed concern: "But Mr. Gao has already harbored unruly feelings towards his sister, if he gets caught this time..."

Hua Lou stroked Cheng Yi's shoulder: "Don't worry. It's none other than his father, Gao Zhan, who is making trouble in this city. Make it difficult for me. Just do as I tell you."

Cheng Yi pursed her lips, she seemed to be struggling, but finally she chose to obey: "Yes. I'll go right away, close the door and put up a rest sign, and then ask Qing Yi to go to the Gao Mansion."

"Hmm. Go."

After Hua Lou finished speaking, she watched Cheng Yi go to the gate before returning to the house.

After listening to all the conversations between the two, Shen Lingyuan naturally knew that what Hualou did was for him, so he felt very sorry: "Sister Hualou, in fact, you don't have to be like this. Now that my appearance is ruined, even if I am seen by others To also..."

"Your Majesty, don't feel sorry, even if you don't come to Hualou today, you still intend to close the building."

Hualou interrupted Shen Lingyuan's words, showed a calm smile, and explained: "Mufeng Pavilion exists as a contact point for spies in Kyoto, and now the whole city is hunting for our people, so it may not be at any time. To me, so it is better to close the door and thank guests to avoid more exposure."

"So that's the case, I thought too simply." Shen Lingyuan nodded, as if he had been educated.

"By the way, sister, you just said that Beili's blood is still flowing on my body. What's going on?"

"This matter has to start more than ten years ago."

Hualou's complexion suddenly became serious, she walked to the bookshelf to search, but her mouth was not idle, "Eighteen years ago, the emperor sent Lord Hou to go to Beili, and the Lord Hou was still a rookie general who had just shown his talents , and I'm just a little girl who doesn't understand anything, just brought into the capital by him to follow my master, who is the previous Pavilion Master of Mufeng Pavilion, to learn disguise art."

At that time, it was the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the court situation was very unstable. The emperor needed a big move to stabilize the people's hearts, and a plague in Beili seemed to come at the right time.

The current emperor acted vigorously after learning of this incident, completely disregarding the in-laws of Donglin and Beili, turning a deaf ear to the distress letter sent by Princess Jingyun, and personally led troops to attack Beili.

The war lasted for four years. In the end, Beili was defeated and ten cities were lost. Shen Lingyuan's father, Shen Chi, became famous because of this battle and was named Marquis of Changxing.

However, Hou Ye did not return to the capital immediately after the war, but was ordered to stay at the border to deal with the mess, so there was no banquet to celebrate his return, only a few familiar people greeted him, and Hualou was one of them.

"When Lord Hou came back, there were two more children by his side, one of whom was you who was still a baby." After Hualou finished telling the past, she also found an ancient book and put it on the wooden table.

Shen Lingyuan is still immersed in the story told by Hualou at this moment. Although he knows that his father led the army to attack Beili, and the Shen family became a noble because of this, Chang Xinghou never mentioned to him what the cause and effect are. Pass.

After thinking about it, Shen Lingyuan found a problem: "But even so, it doesn't prove that I am from Beili? Didn't my father say that my mother also went out with the army back then?"

"Your Majesty." Hualou suddenly stopped her movements when she heard the words, and looked up at him with an extremely struggling expression, "Master Hou, in fact, he never married in his whole life."

"what?!"

Shen Lingyuan's face was full of disbelief, he stared at Hualou's face for a while, and then replied with a choked voice, "You mean, father, he has been lying to me all these years?"

Hualou turned her head to the side to show her unbearable expression, and did not respond directly: "My son, although I don't know whether Lord Hou paid homage to your mother, at least I can be sure that Lord Hou has never married your mother during these years in Donglin. relative."

Shen Lingyuan was terrified in his heart, and he asked, "Then, who is my mother and sister, do you know?"

Hualou is in a dilemma: "This... Hualou doesn't know, maybe only the old people who followed Lord Hou to fight Beili can know a thing or two. However, Hualou speculates that the wife's position in Beili must have a certain status. "

Shen Lingyuan was puzzled: "Why?"

"You think, it would be fine if Lord Hou brought back an ordinary woman, but in the end only you and the eldest son came back."

Shen Lingyuan lowered his eyes: "Maybe it's my mother, she's dead."

Hualou shook her head resolutely: "Actually, Hualou thought so before, but just half a month ago, Hou suddenly sent a letter to his subordinates to secretly send you to Beili. It was the order that strengthened my mind. The madam is by no means idle and is most likely still alive."

Hualou removed the cover of the book. It turned out that there was a small interlayer at the binding of the book. She took out a letter from the interlayer and handed it to Shen Lingyuan.

Shen Lingyuan opened the letter, and immediately knew that it was his father's handwriting, and the content of the letter made him tremble even more. It was only on a page of rice paper, but how would he be safely sent out of the city, and by which way? The frontier is clearly written, even the calculation of how many horses are needed and where to transfer and rest is clearly calculated.

After Shen Lingyuan read the letter, he didn't know what it was like. He thought that his father had been away for many years and rarely returned home to accompany him.It was because his mother died of dystocia that his father didn't like his son, but now it seems that the mother's dystocia was simply fake, and Chang Xinghou's love for him was never less than a single bit.

Shen Lingyuan seemed unwilling to face it, and slowly closed his eyes, not without grief and indignation: "I didn't expect that I really killed my father in the end."

"My son, this is not your fault. Think about it, this plan is so strict, and the brothers acted so cautiously, how could there be any mistakes? Besides, Lord Hou is charged with treason! He just wanted to send his son to Beili That's all, there must be a traitor around Lord Hou, who leaked the whole secret, that's it!"

Hualou took a step forward, tears welled up in his eyes halfway through the speech, and he couldn't bear to continue, so he changed the subject, "If I find out who the traitor is, I will cut him to pieces!"

When Shen Lingyuan heard the words, his heart was swayed, he slightly raised his eyes, and looked directly at Hualoudao, "Actually, I know who the traitor is."
