"How did Qiu'er know?"
"From the storybooks found in Luojia Village, no matter whether they are young ladies or princesses, they all like white plum blossoms. This should be the princess's unique hobby." Chen Qiu still didn't look at Nanny Hua, but just looked at his hands on his knees, rubbing the callus that Ye Chen often touched.
"Yes, madam is right. When I was in Luojia Manor, they told us that our master was deceived in this way. We are the people of Ronghua Country. It is our duty and mission to live and die for Ronghua. We have been trained since childhood to be obedient and to be an obedient puppet. I left early and then followed the eldest princess. I experienced a lot of things, and they never contacted me again. As I grew older and saw more and more things, I realized what my former identity was. To put it bluntly, I was a spy." Nanny Hua had been kneeling there, saying everything in her heart, and suddenly she felt so relieved.
No one knows how painful it is for her to keep this secret. On one side are the eldest princess who is as kind as a mountain and the Ye family who treat her as a family member. On the other side is the Luojiazhuang who saved her life. In order to have the best of both worlds, she chose to give An An a little poison, but in the end she still hurt An An, the child she regarded as her own grandson.
"Madam, I kowtow to you here. When I am in the underworld, I will apologize to the princess. I have betrayed her trust." Nanny Tan Houhua kowtowed three times to Chen Qiu. Chen Qiu's eyes were dry and he didn't want to talk. He kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Nanny Hua.
Suddenly Ye Chen exclaimed, "Madam Hua," and ran to Madam Hua to support her. Black blood flowed from the corner of Madam Hua's mouth, "Master, now there are almost all Luojiazhuang farms around the big cities of Dayin. There are even some in the dense forests southwest of Kyoto City. And they are not only... not only casinos and brothels, but also the Cao Gang has their influence. I have secretly investigated in the past few years. They are all in the box next to the pillow in my room. The mansion... the mansion is not clean. It's time for me to go and see the princess. Madam and Master, take care of yourselves. And... and An An, as long as he is okay... that's good... good..." After finishing her intermittent words, Madam Hua closed her eyes and died in Ye Chen's arms.
The moment Hua Mama fell, Chen Qiu walked to her side. The moment Hua Mama closed her eyes, Chen Qiu also shed tears. "Come here," Ye Chen called softly. Mu Qing came in from outside, "Master..."
"Have someone change Aunt Hua's clothes, buy her a thin coffin, and bury her." Ye Chen put Aunt Hua on the ground and pulled Chen Qiu up. "Qiu'er, we still have a lot to do. Let's uproot Luojiazhuang together."
"good"
The two went directly to Aunt Hua's room and easily found the box Aunt Hua mentioned beside her bed. It was a sandalwood box one foot square. "This is the set of headwear my mother gave Aunt Hua when she was 30 years old. It was in this box."
Ye Chen held the box, thinking about something. He still remembered that he had broken the box once. Sure enough, when he turned the box over, he found that a corner at the bottom was missing.
"Let's open it and take a look." Chen Qiu took the box and they sat down at the table. Inside, on top was a silver dragon and phoenix bracelet, and underneath was a piece of paper with the words: "This is what I had in my swaddling clothes when Luojiazhuang found me. Leave it to An An."
Below is a booklet that records what Nanny Hua has investigated over the years. There is a Luojia Village in the dense forest southwest of Kyoto. All the people in Luojia Village in Kyoto City obey the arrangements here. The Gu family in Kyoto is an important member of Luojia Village in Kyoto. There is also some information that Nanny Hua has collected over the years.
"Is the Gu family that Gu family?" Chen Qiu asked Ye Chen softly.
Ye Chen took the booklet from Chen Qiu's hand and said, "Yes, Gu Ruojin's father is called Gu Zhen, but I didn't expect that the Gu family is actually related to Luojiazhuang."
"What are you going to do?" Shen Qiu asked this without any intention of testing Ye Chen. They had been married for almost two years, and this question was just a casual question like discussing something as usual.
Ye Chen also answered frankly, "I need to go to the palace to discuss this with the emperor. There are too many people involved in Luojiazhuang, and they are hiding very deeply. I need the emperor's 100% support for me. This time I may use the army and the Black Cloud Guard's intelligence network in the emperor's hands, otherwise there is no way to eradicate these people. This time we can't deal with them like we did with the Phoenix Order. This time we have to eliminate them quickly, otherwise it will be a disaster if they appear again."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll let Mu Qing accompany you to the palace. Mingyue said that my master went to seek help from the martial arts world and should be back soon. I'm a little worried about her." When Chen Qiu thought of her master's former identity as a demon, she was worried that this demon would make a big wave again if she returned to the martial arts world. She was busy with trivial matters now and couldn't help her fight. What if she suffered alone?
As soon as Chen Qiu sent Ye Chen away, Bai Li came back, "Master, how are you? Did you suffer any loss?"
Chen Qiu examined Bai Li thoroughly and was relieved to see that Bai Li was fine.
"Did you just get home? How is An An? Has the poison been removed?" Bai Li knew that An An should be fine when she saw Chen Qiu's expression.
"Well, I just came back this morning. The poison in An An's body hasn't been completely cleared yet, but meditation can cure it." The two walked into the yard while talking.
"However, Jingxin said that after the poison is removed, An An will become weak and sickly."
"Well, I know this. At that time, that little girl Lingshu said that she could detoxify the poison but it would be faster than Jingxin. She also said that An An would be a little weaker after the detoxification, so I went out for a while." Bai Li took out a yellowed parchment scroll from her arms and handed it to Chen Qiu. "This is a book of internal energy skills. I won it from someone. You keep it for An An. When he grows up, he will be in good shape by practicing this."
"Master..." Chen Qiu held the parchment scroll, not knowing what to say.
"Silly boy, I have failed to live up to your trust, so I must find a way to make up for it." Bai Li rubbed Chen Qiu's head.
"Master, I don't blame you. I really don't blame you." From the time An An got into trouble until now, Chen Qiu has never blamed anyone except herself, because she is An An's mother, and only she and Ye Chen are supposed to take care of An An. The others are just helping, and they didn't do it on purpose. If she asks herself, if it were her, she might not be able to ensure that An An would not be injured this time, and they should feel more guilty than she does, right?
"Madam, the young master has woken up!" Mingyue came out of the house and immediately heard An An shouting for his mother.
Chen Qiu didn't care about anything else and ran in with her skirt lifted up. An An still looked listless, but her eyes were very clear.
