Chapter 39 Secret of Little Girl's Parents
1688 Words
"My father?"
Mu Qianmei felt strange for such an appellation, such a person. She felt a little sad and didn't know what to say.
Her parents had passed away in her previous life.
She didn't have a chance to show filial respect for her parents after she succeeded.
Children would like to support, but parents couldn't wait.
It also hurt her heart.
"The little girl's father is still alive, so I'll show filial respect for her father. He is my father now."
Mu Qianmei thought.
"Yes, it's your father. What kind of person do you expect your father to be? Or what kind of identity do you expect him to have?
Feng Tianyu asked curiously.
"Well, I hope he is an ordinary person! Of course, it'll be better if he is a man of learning."
Mu Qianmei thought for a while and replied.
"He is a man of learning, but he is not ordinary. Haha. He was an emperor."
Feng Tianyu told her a surprising secret.
"He was an emperor?"
She felt that the word "emperor" was so far away from her life, and it was even ridiculous.
"Yes, he was the emperor of Yunyu Kingdom. Now he is a prisoner, Yun Zhonghe."
"Yunyu Kingdom?"
Mu Qianmei asked in surprise.
How was it going to be like that?
Was she the daughter of the emperor of Yunyu Kingdom?
Was she a princess?
She didn't expect that the little girl's birth was so surprising!
Mu Qianmei got used to separating her from the little girl, though they had integrated.
"Yes, you were the princess of the Yunyu Kingdom, who grew up in the folk. The emperor today is just a puppet supported by Dongqin. Your father was the genuine emperor of Yunyu Kingdom!"
Feng Tianyu was sure about that.
"Do you have any evidence that can prove I'm the previous emperor's daughter of Yunyu Kingdom?"
Mu Qianmei asked. It was not that she didn't believe in Feng Tianyu, but she didn't trust the truth.
She thought of the old guy's weird tone and expression when he spoke of the Yunyu Kingdom.
After she rose again, she named herself Mu Qianmei and said her childhood name was Little Butterfly, and the old guy was so surprised.
It turned out that the little girl had a close relationship with the Yunyu Kingdom!
Feng Tianyu took out an exquisite small box made of photinia from the closet, with beautiful ancient patterns and drawings.
He took out the key, opened the rusty lock, and slowly opened the box.
He took out a small jade pendant from the box, which was crystal clear with a red cloth necklace, with warm and humid feelings. The jade pendant had the same size as a thumb, with a traditional character "Yun" carved on the front face and a crane flying in the cloud carved on the back face. The pattern was vivid and realistic.
"It's a keepsake that your father gave to your mother. You keep it. Your father would recognize it."
Feng Tianyu said and handed it to Mu Qianmei.
"Why didn't they kill my father?"
Mu Qianmei asked in a confused expression.
"I heard that your father didn't hand two things. One is the imperial jade seal, and the other is a treasure map of the Yunyu Kingdom."
Feng Tianyu said, but he wasn't sure about the authenticity of the information.
"The imperial jade seal and a treasure map!" Mu Qianmei said in surprise. She might have seen such props in the costume plays of her previous life.
She didn't expect that it would happen on Yugu Continent.
"Compared to the imperial jade seal, the treasure map is more important. Yunyu Kingdom, close to Nantang, is the northern door of Nantang. Other countries of Yugu Continent usually buy horses and wool from Nantang, so the Yunyu Kingdom becomes the largest livestock product trading market."
"Yunyu Kingdom accumulated much wealth. Yun Zhonghe took State Master's suggestion and stored the treasure to a hidden place for unexpected needs of the war."
"But a palace revolution occurred in the Yunyu Kingdom seventeen years ago. The castellan, Long Xiao, of Qingfeng City, and the castellan, Zuo Yun, of Feiyun City cooperated with the help of Dongqin and secretly supported the foppish highness, Yun Zhongxiao. They staged a brutal palace revolution, called Fengyun Revolution."
"In the Fengyun Revolution, there were many corpses in the palace. The blood turned into a river. Your father's queen, concubines, princes, princesses, imperial bodyguards, and maids were almost all killed."
Feng Tianyu said in a grieved tone.
Mu Qianmei seemed to see the b****y scene and felt sad.
Feng Tianyu felt Mu Qianmei's sadness, and he paused and then said,
"Yun Zhongxiao didn't find the imperial jade seal and the treasure map in the palace, so he didn't kill your father. I've heard that they have another clue recently and intend to send your father to the Dongqin Kingdom."
"Your father has been keeping such a secret for these years and might have suffered a lot! That's so pathetic!"
Feng Tianyu said and sighed.
"What about my mother?"
Mu Qianmei asked in a low voice.
"Your mother is Murong Xiaoshuang. She didn't live in the palace. She was the most beautiful and brilliant lady of the Piaoyu City in the Yunyu Kingdom, famous all over the Yugu Continent."
"Your father was a gifted emperor loving literature. He was fond of visiting in plain clothes."
"Your father was handsome and had a remarkable talent. He was the prince charming of many girls!"
"He was an emperor loving people, but not a qualified emperor. He was not good at the power tactics that an emperor should have. Living in the palace full of infighting, he looked like the deaf and also the blind. He didn't identify the true and false, as well as the good and bad. He couldn't get the truth and was a muddled emperor."
"He shouldn't serve as an emperor."
"Your mother was a lady from the brothel, performing but not streetwalking. She was the first lady highly accomplished in the Qinfang House of Piaoyu City."
"She was endowed with both beauty and talent and good at music, chess, calligraphy, drawing, and poetry. She was famous all over the world. Lots of guests came for her, making the Qinfang House crowded every day. They just wanted to see your mother."
"The emperor heard of your mother's beauty and brilliance and admired her. He dressed as a scholar and visited her. Then they knew each other, so there was a love story about the emperor in the folk."
"But before long, a palace revolution made the emperor become the prisoner. They intended to kill your mother. She gave birth to you during the escape. But she lost too much blood, became weak, and passed away with hatred."
"I heard your cry during travel. When I went there, your mother was dying. She just told your story simply, gave a box to me, and then died."
Feng Tianyu told the story slowly.
The story was simple, but Mu Qianmei felt an extraordinary love. It was short, sweet, astonishing, but sad.
"So, little girl, you were the authentic princess of the Yunyu Kingdom. You are the only offspring of the previous emperor. Maybe your father doesn't know you!"
"What are you going to do?"
Feng Tianyu asked after saying.
"I have to think about it. I'll help. But how are we going to do? What are we going to do after saving him? That's important. There is another question. How will he avoid the hunt of the current royal families from Dongqin Kingdom and Yunyu Kingdom if we save him?"
Mu Qianmei said in a worried tone.
"You're right. We have to think over and need a surefire plan before acting."
Feng Tianyu said.
"Old Taoist priest, how do you think we save him?"
Mu Qianmei looked at Ouyang Bo and asked.
"I think it's not difficult for you to rescue him. You and Liu Tingfeng are the students of the Great Sword Master, Ye Suifeng. How many people could become your opponents? As you said, we should think about how to do after rescuing him."
"If we expose the strength of our g**g, we can protect him for some time, though we can't contend against the imperial court."
"I suggest that we'd better prevent Beggar g**g's strength from being exposed too early. Just as the playing cards you invent, we shouldn't let others know our trump card easily."
"Beggar g**g should be your trump card."
Ouyang Bo suggested.
Thinking of the gambling device, Mu Qianmei asked in a complicated mood,
"I don't know if it is right to apply the gambling device to the casino. People are addicted to gambling. We're supposed to stop them. Do we promote gambling?"
"You don't worry about that. Others would do it even though we didn't open the casino. However, they don't have various devices."
"People crazy about gambling will always find a way to gamble. It's better to do it ourselves. At least we help a lot of people in need!"
Ouyang Bo eased her anxiety.
"I see our large-scaled casino on my way back. How's the business going?"
Mu Qianmei asked.
"The business is incredibly great. Our casino gains lots of money every day. It makes great profits."
Ouyang Bo said.
"How is the lady named Ziyue going?"
Mu Qianmei thought of the lady they saved on the day someone kidnapped her, so she asked.
"Ziyue is a leader of the second intelligence department, who works well. We've bought the Qianchu House and merged it into the industry of Beggar g**g. She is still the first lady of the Qianchu House, performing but not streetwalking."
Ouyang Bo replied.
"After Mo Huan's sword skill improves, we'll additionally arrange a department to handle some affairs that others couldn't know!"
Mu Qianmei said.
"Okay, he has progressed a lot. I suppose it won't take long to establish this department."
Ouyang Bo praised Mo Huan.
"It's not easy to do something. Everyone is contributing to the g**g!"
Mu Qianmei said with emotion.
