Chapter 800: Unusual Identity
"What do you mean by finding a man? He just saved my mother and me." Mrs. Chen said expressionlessly.
"Oh? Really? You didn't sleep in Dong Huanzhi's bed to repay him for saving your life?" Prince Qiong's tone was a little frivolous, and it sounded suspicious.
Chen Haobing felt a little uncomfortable.
Why does her father talk like that?
"Dad, there is nothing wrong between my mom and Uncle Dong!" She hurriedly explained. Now that her biological father has been found, and he is the King of Qiong, she has to draw a clear line between herself and Uncle Dong!
"If you are innocent, will people help you two like this?"
"What do you want to say?" Madam Chen held Chen Haobing's hand tightly and stopped her from speaking. She stared at King Qiong, and felt that his sudden appearance at this time was a little strange.
If I really wanted to find them, would it take so many years?
"Give me what you have in your hand." King Qiong said in a low voice.
At this time, Fu Zhaoning was sitting in the tavern opposite the embroidery shop. Xiao Lanyuan was also there, but he was still wearing a mask.
Fu Zhaoning had just seen Prince Qiong enter the embroidery shop, but he certainly couldn't see or hear what they were saying from here.
She looked at Xiao Lanyuan, "Why don't you let me go into the embroidery shop to listen to what they are saying?"
"You didn't see that after Prince Qiong went in, no one else was allowed in the embroidery shop. Prince Qiong had already made arrangements and would not let anyone follow him in."
Xiao Lanyuan pointed to the roof of the embroidery shop and said, "The secret guards are over there. They should be able to hear what they are saying. You don't have to make the trouble of going all the way there."
Yes, since they have already arrived here, they must have made arrangements long ago.
Fu Zhaoning drank his tea and ate his food in peace.
"You wagged your tail a lot today, didn't you?"
Fu Zhaoning and Xiao Lanyuan went out separately today. Fu Zhaoning went out with a big fanfare, brought a lot of people with him, and used the most luxurious carriage, so he attracted a lot of attention.
The Emperor didn't know if he was distracted by the fact that Prince Xiao was infected with the disease, and the Empress Dowager had returned to the palace, so she could temporarily restrain the Emperor. I heard that she had been causing trouble for the Emperor in the past two days, so the Emperor only sent people to keep an eye on Prince Jun's Mansion these days.
Anyway, there is no time to issue any imperial decree to go against Xiao Lanyuan.
After Fu Zhaoning left Prince Jun's Mansion, Xiao Lanyuan came out in casual clothes and wearing a mask.
Some people surrounding Prince Jun's Mansion also noticed it, but with Xiao Lanyuan's kung fu, it would only take a few minutes to get rid of them.
"Those are nothing to be afraid of. Let them keep an eye on them."
Xiao Lanyuan really didn't take those people seriously. What could he find out by staring at Prince Jun's Mansion? He could get rid of them in the blink of an eye as soon as he went out.
Now those people may still be looking for him all over the capital.
"Why does Prince Qiong go to such great lengths to find Madam Chen? Is he really such a loyal man?" Fu Zhaoning was bored and pulled Xiao Lanyuan aside to talk.
"He must have come here for secrets."
"Is that what you said about making a deal with the Emperor?"
"Um."
"Then why didn't the emperor take any action after he negotiated the deal with him? What on earth do they want to do?"
"It seems that the key lies with Mrs. Chen. We should know soon."
Now that Prince Qiong has found Madam Chen, once they have a good talk, we will soon know what exactly they want to do.
Fu Zhaoning thought about Chen Haobing's previous reaction, "It seems that Madam Chen did not tell Chen Haobing about the matter, and she has never thought of taking things or using this secret to gain anything, or exchanging anything with others."
Otherwise, they would not have to follow Dong Huanzhi's approach and send invitations to those wealthy ladies.
Does this mean that the secret is dangerous?
"If they reveal it, the mother and daughter will be in danger of death. She is quite smart." Xiao Lanyuan actually already had some guesses in his mind.
"Then did she approach King Qiong because she wanted to take advantage of his influence?"
"It's possible."
At this time, on the second floor of the embroidery shop opposite, Chen Haobing was stunned.
She understood every word that Prince Qiong and her mother said, but why couldn't she understand when they were put together?
What do they mean by they can find another way out if they can't stay in Zhaoguo anymore?
Want to commit treason or something?
What does it mean that if they can find that piece of territory, they may be able to become king?
Isn't he already a prince? Doesn't he already have Qiongzhou Prefecture? Where else does he want to be king?
What does it mean that the Chen family was considered to be collaborating with the enemy and treason?
Mrs. Chen is not feeling well now.
A few years ago, when she was hunted by Princess Qiong and her life was in danger, she did not think of asking King Qiong for help because she felt that King Qiong seemed to have known her secret.
But she didn't want to tell King Qiong that secret at all.
She had thought about it at first, which was why she committed herself to King Qiong. But after following him, she found that King Qiong was simply not capable of handling such a big thing, nor was he someone she could fully trust, so she backed off.
Now seeing Prince Qiong, she became more certain of her thoughts back then. Prince Qiong actually told the Emperor about this matter!
"You said you've already talked to the emperor, and he agreed to all your requests?"
"Yes, otherwise why could I stay in the capital for so long? If you don't believe it, I can take you to the palace and let you hear the emperor tell you in person." Prince Qiong was a little complacent.
It was his ability that he was able to negotiate good terms with the emperor.
"Can I see the emperor too?" Chen Haobing interjected.
King Qiong glanced at her and said, "Of course."
"Then, can the emperor give me the title of a princess?" Chen Haobing blurted out.
She especially wants to improve her status now because she was hit so hard by Fu Zhaoning. She really wants to regain her face in front of Fu Zhaoning.
Her biological father is King Qiong, so she must have some identity, right?
"Bing'er!"
Mrs. Chen yelled at her, finding it hard to believe that she had such a wild idea.
But King Qiong laughed.
"Why not? You are my daughter, you have royal blood. I will talk to the emperor, he should agree."
"Dad, when are we going to enter the palace?" Chen Haobing's eyes lit up and he completely ignored Madam Chen's expression.
Prince Qiong looked at Madam Chen again and stood up. "Now I will take you to the palace to see the emperor."
"Really?" Chen Haobing was overjoyed.
"Well, ask your mother if she wants to go."
"I won't go!" Madam Chen grabbed Chen Haobing, "Bing'er, you are not allowed to go either. How could the emperor let you become a princess for no reason? The emperor is not someone you can see whenever you want—"
"You are overthinking this, aren't you? Bing'er is my daughter, and the emperor's junior. Just treat it as a family meeting. If you don't want to go, I will take Bing'er to the palace first. Bing'er, let's go."
King Qiong's eyes flickered and he waved to Chen Haobing.
