Chapter 659: Cause
“It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back now!” He took his son back to the Imperial Study Room. Then, he looked at him from head to toe again and again: “You have grown a lot taller. I remember when you left the capital, you were just 13 years old. You’re only as tall as this.” He pointed at his nose and then raised his hand above his head: “Now, you’re this tall.”
It has been 10 years. He hasn’t seen this son for 10 years. His son was tall, thin, and dark.
“Imperial Father, you are old!” He said suddenly, as his eyes fell on the white hair of his temples.
The emperor smiled and waved his hand: “Can you not get old? I’ve been worrying about national affairs all day and night. I can still live up to this point, is already a blessing.”
The old eunuch, who was wiping tears on the side busily said: “Your royal highness, the white hair on the emperor’s head and the wrinkles on his face, only appeared 3 years ago.”
Lovesickness, missing lover, missing relatives. In this kind of disease, except for the people involve appearing, there was no other cure.
After learning about Fu Zheng and the others, the emperor rewarded each of a house, a 1000 taels of gold, and official rank.
“Imperial Father, this son will leave the capital tomorrow.” Hu Feng said to the emperor.
The emperor was taken aback, and busily asked: “It will be New Year soon, where are you going?”
“Imperial Father, for 3 years, I’ve been living in a small village. It was my foster father who adopted me and healed my injuries. He treated me like his own son. Now he is suffering and his whereabouts are unknown. I must find him as soon as possible, and bring him in the capital to enjoy life.”
When the emperor heard this, he was very grateful to the person and also got worried about this person’s safety, so he said: “If this is the case, then naturally you have to look for him, and you must find him.”
The emperor thought of another issue and busily said: “Yan’er, your master has entered the capital, and only arrived yesterday. Since you will leave tomorrow, you should go to your master today. You two haven’t seen each other for 10 years.”
Hu Feng has always respected Dongfang Mu. Especially after he understood his painstaking efforts in training him on the battlefield, he put Dongfang Mu in a very important position in his heart. He was very happy to learn that he also came to the capital. : “Okay, I will go and greet the master.”
The emperor said again: “There is also something I haven’t told you before. For various reasons, I haven’t had time to tell you about this. But this time, I must tell you.”
Hu Feng asked: “Imperial Father, you look so serious. What is it?”
The emperor sighed and said: “When you were young, I and Dongfang Mu made a private marriage for you. It was Dongfang Wan’s daughter. At that time, we agreed that if she gave birth to a daughter, she will be your wife.”
Hu Feng thought for a long time, but he couldn’t remember that the Dongfang Family had a granddaughter. He only knew that the Houye of Changyuan Houfu married Dongfang Wan. However, he never heard that she gave birth to a daughter.
The emperor said: “Dongfang Wan gave birth to a daughter, but who knows that the child died before she even turns a month old. Later on, Dongfang Wan got sick and couldn’t give birth again. So I never mention this to you.”
Hu Feng was puzzled. Since that baby girl died, this marriage agreement will naturally not work. So why does his imperial father still mentioning about it now?
“Imperial Father, it seems that I have no relationship with that girl, so I don’t know what you mean by mentioning this now?” Hu Feng asked.
His Imperial Father never liked talking nonsense, and so there must be a reason for it.
