Ji Yungui had asked the fat man the same question twice: "Is His Majesty the child of you and the young lady?"
This question is crucial and directly related to Ji Yungui's speculation on certain things.
The fat man's answer was firm and decisive. He swore and said, "Wu Changfeng is my brother, and Xu Yunqing is my sister-in-law. Am I a beast? I have my bottom line! I'm telling you, Fu Xiaoguan is the child of my brother and Xu Yunqing!"
It was precisely because of this answer that Ji Yungui conducted a lengthy review and verification, and ultimately determined that Gao Xian was lying, and that it was absolutely impossible for Emperor Wen to have made such a huge mistake in the most crucial battle at the border town.
He will definitely inform Su Changsheng early!
But Su Changsheng was indeed a step late.
It was that late step that happened to cause Xu Yunqing to receive the fatal blow from Fan Wuxiang.
Ji Yungui couldn't be sure whether the young lady was really alive. If the young lady was wearing the cicada clothes, she would definitely not die so easily.
But he still couldn't figure out the reason - if the young lady hadn't died at that time, Fu Xiaoguan had already killed Fan Wuxiang, and Su Changsheng had already come and killed those monk soldiers, why did she die in front of everyone?
And why did Su Changsheng do this?
What good will it do to Su Changsheng if the young lady dies?
If Su Changsheng had any intentions, shouldn't he have let Fu Xiaoguan die?
He couldn't find out no matter what he did, let alone figure it out.
After all, Su Changsheng is also the young lady's senior brother, and he is also Fu Xiaoguan's master!
He took a deep breath and felt that the young lady had a very difficult life. The only explanation was that the young lady might have known some secret of Su Changsheng, so that her existence was even more threatening than Fu Xiaoguan.
All this is based on Ji Yungui's speculation. To prove this speculation, he can only go to the imperial tomb and see whether the young lady is still lying in the coffin.
Fu Xiaoguan also took a deep breath and felt that if his mother really faked her death again, it would be a legend.
Why do this?
If there must be a reason... the reason is that when they were in the border town, if Xu Yunqing had not died, Su Changsheng would have been very likely to do something bad to him, Fu Xiaoguan.
Or maybe... it was because of that big gun that Su Changsheng appeared after firing that shot.
Now Fu Xiaoguan hopes that Ji Yungui’s speculation is correct. Master can die, but mother must survive.
But is it really like this?
Fu Xiaoguan was waiting anxiously, and for the first time he was so eager to find out the truth of the matter.
The carriage arrived at the imperial tomb.
Fu Xiaoguan ordered the guards of the imperial mausoleum to open the heavy door.
As the door creaked open, his heart became more excited than ever.
Xu Yunqing...are you dead or not?
They came to Emperor Wen's mausoleum. Fu Xiaoguan and the fat man flew to the high platform of the mausoleum. Fu Xiaoguan's face turned red with excitement. He rarely felt such a mood, but now, when his hand fell on the heavy coffin lid, even his hand was shaking.
This wasn't his real mother.
But he felt extremely close to this mother.
If she is still alive, she must not be allowed to take any risks again. I am the leader of the four directions. No matter how powerful or secretive the enemy is, they are not qualified to fight with me!
She should live in the palace, take care of her grandchildren if she wants, and play mahjong with Wen Yun and the others if she doesn't want to.
This is the joy of family. For Fu Xiaoguan, who was an orphan in his previous life, he desperately needed such a mother, to be filial to his mother, to listen to his mother's teachings or nagging... this is life.
As for grand ambitions... they are nothing more than simple embellishments outside of life.
The fat man understood Fu Xiaoguan's feelings very well. He looked at Fu Xiaoguan's trembling hands and was also very curious. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the coffin lid.
Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath, held his breath, and stuck his head out. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the coffin carefully, but his excited mood slowly calmed down.
Then, his face showed undisguised disappointment... There were two people lying in the coffin.
One is Wu Changfeng and the other is Xu Yunqing.
She is dead.
She did not fake her death and escape as Ji Yungui said.
The fat man also stuck his head out at this time, and took a look, and his expectations disappeared - faking death is enough to do it once, how can he do it twice?
After all, I was disappointed again, and I'm afraid I'll be upset for a few days.
Ji Yungui had already looked up at Fu Xiaoguan nervously. At this moment, he got the answer from Fu Xiaoguan's expression and sighed.
The fat man shook his head and said, "Let's go."
Fu Xiaoguan sat down with his back against the coffin and was silent for a moment. "You two go out first. I'll stay here with them."
The fat man thought about it, took Ji Yungui and Bei Wangchuan out of the imperial tomb, and guarded the door.
The small official suffered another blow and needed some quiet time.
But what they didn't know was that at this moment, Fu Xiaoguan suddenly rolled over and almost bumped into someone - Xu Yunqing who had come out from the coffin!
Xu Yunqing's face was a little pale, but there was a kind smile on that pale face - just when the fat man pushed open the coffin lid and Fu Xiaoguan stuck his head out, he clearly saw Xu Yunqing put his fingers on his mouth and made a hushing gesture!
She's alive!
She didn't want anyone but herself to know she was still alive!
Even the fat man was deceived.
As Fu Xiaoguan was looking at himself with indescribable surprise and joy, he saw Xu Yunqing take out a piece of cake from his sleeve pocket - Wufangzhai's osmanthus cake!
She threw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into her mouth and ate it rather awkwardly, "Son, wait a minute, mother is almost starving to death!"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed, and then he saw Xu Yunqing choke and stretch his neck. He quickly patted Xu Yunqing on the back and said, "Slow down."
“…I’m so hungry.”
"Come, have one too." Xu Yunqing stuffed a sweet-scented osmanthus cake into Fu Xiaoguan's mouth. The mother and son sat beside the coffin and ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in tacit understanding without saying anything.
In half a cup of tea, I was not full, but the osmanthus cake was gone.
Xu Yunqing then patted the powder on his hands, wiped his mouth, and looked at Fu Xiaoguan carefully with his bright eyes.
"Did Ji Yungui tell you?"
Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "Mother..."
"Yeah." Xu Yunqing's face was filled with smiles as she heard her mother call her. She reached out and touched Fu Xiaoguan's face, her eyes sparkling.
"Son, Ji Yungui is really meddling. I originally wanted to spend more time with your father, and then, during a grand court meeting, I suddenly appeared in the Golden Palace... What do you think? Wouldn't this give you a big surprise?"
