Chapter 504 The Secret of the Gwanghwa County Master (Part 2)

The commercial workshop that Li Xiu and the others came to was actually the western city of Luoyang City. Speaking of which, Chang'an has two cities, east, west, south, and north. Of course, the combined scale of these four markets cannot be compared with Chang'an's east, west, west, and east, and east, after all, Chang'an is the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty.

Although the western market in Luoyang cannot be compared with the western market in Chang'an, it is also very prosperous. In addition, the road is not as wide as the western market in Chang'an, Li Xiu and his carriage could only move forward little by little along the flow of people. Finally, the carriage finally stopped in a relatively open place.

This is the vegetable market in the West City. For example, in each shop in Chang'an and Luoyang, there are almost all vegetable markets. However, the West City is a commercial shop with a large flow of people, so the vegetable market is much larger than ordinary shops. There are all kinds of vegetables, meat, and snacks. Some are mobile stalls, and some are fixed shops. Various shouts are heard one after another, which is very lively.

Princess Guanghua opened the window on the right side of the carriage and looked out the window with her eyes fixedly. Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang followed her eyes and found that she was looking at a tofu shop. The shop was not large in size, with two middle-aged men and women working inside, and outside there was a boy about ten years old selling tofu. He looked very handsome and moved very quickly. There were many people coming to buy tofu, and the business looked quite good.

No matter how you look at it, it is a very ordinary tofu shop. The family of three makes a living by selling tofu, and there is nothing special about it. However, Princess Guanghua has been watching it in a daze, with loving, envious, and even a hint of jealousy in her eyes. It can be said that her expression is very complicated. Li Xiu also found that her eyes were mainly focused on the boy selling tofu.

"Cousin, he... is he your son?" At this moment, Princess Pingyang suddenly spoke. However, as soon as she said that Li Xiu next to her was shocked. Isn't Princess Guanghua's son Yang Guang's son?

"Yes, he is my son Yang Fan!" Princess Guanghua nodded faintly at this time, but even when she was talking, her eyes were always staring at the child in the shop in the distance, as if she wanted to deeply imprint his first movement and expression in her heart.

"Yang Fan, my cousin gave him this name because he wanted him to be an ordinary person!" As a mother, Princess Pingyang was naturally able to understand Princess Guanghua's current mood, and she couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.

"Yes, when I was in Jiangdu, I was actually pregnant. Before the incident in Jiangdu, His Majesty had been addicted to alcohol and sex, and he was drunk and dreaming of death every day, and he was not willing to think about these things at all. In fact, now that he thought about it, he probably knew that the situation was hopeless, so he wanted to have fun in time before his death."

When she said this, Princess Guanghua paused for a moment, then said: "On the night of the incident, Your Majesty was killed by the rebels, and all the princes and grandchildren were slaughtered. When Empress Xiao saw this situation, she felt that she would leave a little blood for Your Majesty, no matter what, so she asked the last team of loyal Your Majesty's guards to protect me from Jiangdu. It can be said that the reason why I was able to survive was because of Fan'er!"

When Princess Guanghua spoke at the end, tears in her eyes could not be stopped, and Princess Pingyang also wiped her tears. However, Li Xiu suddenly said, "Princess, since you and your child have escaped, why don't you live with your child, but give him to others?"

Hearing Li Xiu's somewhat sharp question, Princess Guanghua sighed with tears and after a while, she said, "The prince-consort doesn't know anything. Fan'er was born not long after I was rescued by my master. At the beginning, I wanted to raise him personally, but I am a weak woman and don't know anything. How easy is it to reduce a child? Also, I am also afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Before Princess Guanghua finished speaking, Princess Pingyang asked first.

"I'm afraid that my uncle and mother will find me!" Princess Guanghua said with tears in her eyes again. It was the first time she said these words to others.

"I'm afraid of my father?" Princess Pingyang said in confusion when she heard this.

"I understand. After Yang Guang's death, many people famously promoted some royal children to be emperors, but none of the former Sui royal children could survive. Whether it was Yu Wenhua, Wang Shichong, or His Majesty, those former Sui royal children who were made emperors by them all died in misfortune. So if His Majesty finds the princess, I'm afraid the princess's child will not be able to be saved!" Li Xiu finally showed a sudden enlightenment expression at this time.

Of course, Li Xiu's words were a bit heartbroken, but they were all true, so Princess Pingyang was silent after hearing this, because she knew clearly that her father made Yang Guang's grandson Yang You the emperor, but he was later deposed. In the second year of Wude, Yang You died inexplicably. Historical books recorded death from illness, but in fact, Yang You was killed by someone sent by her father.

"Yes, and most of those people are the nephews or grandsons of the late emperor. Fan'er is his only son who survives in the world. Although the Sui Dynasty has perished, I am worried that his uncle will not be able to tolerate this child. If Fan'er kept following me, if I was found by my mother and uncle, Fan'er's identity would be exposed immediately. In this way, Fan'er may be dead. In addition, the conditions in the Taoist temple are not good, so I really can't support him, so I finally gave him to the couple in the store. They can't give birth to children and always regard Fan'er as their own son. I come to see him when I have time."

At the end of the day, Princess Guanghua's tears also burst out again. As a mother, if she hadn't really had no choice, she would never have given her child cruelly to others. Moreover, Li Yuan's power was getting stronger and stronger at that time and had already become the best. Princess Guanghua also heard about her mother and knew that her mother would definitely send someone to find her, so for the sake of her son's safety, she had to make such a decision.

"Since that's the case, why do the princess still tell us about this? Aren't you afraid that I will tell Your Majesty about this?" Li Xiu's attitude softened at this time. After all, he was also a father, but in the end he still asked a question in his heart again.

"Actually, it's all my fault. Because I have children, except for myself, my two senior sisters know that they are also known. So they should have left Yishuiguan and even left Luoyang. Even if they are found by their mother, no one will know that I have lived in Luoyang, nor will they know that I have a child, but I can't bear to leave my child. Every few days I will take time to see him, but I dare not contact him at all. I thought that in a few years, after Fan'er got married and had children, I could leave with confidence, but I didn't expect that her mother suddenly found me!"

At the end of the story, Princess Guanghua couldn't help but sigh. When she saw her mother, she was worried that this matter would be exposed, especially if she returned to Chang'an, whether she was the uncle of the Supreme Emperor or the cousin sitting on the throne, she would probably send someone to investigate. In this way, Yang Fan's affairs would definitely be exposed, and the child would definitely be in danger at that time.

"Cousin, we are all mothers. I can understand your mood, but don't worry, Fan'er is your son and my nephew, and I will never let anyone hurt him!" Princess Pingyang said with a determined look on her face at this time, and after she said that, she stared at Li Xiu, and her meaning was naturally clear.

Li Xiu couldn't help but feel helpless when he heard this, but there was no way. After all, his wife agreed, so this matter is his business, so he had to help even if he didn't want to help. So he thought about it and said again: "Princess, does the eldest princess know about this?"

"I didn't tell my mother that my mother is relatively timid. If she knew about this, although she might not be able to do anything to Fan'er, my two senior sisters might not be able to survive. However, my senior sister is usually very nice to me, and I don't want to implicate them!" Princess Guanghua shook her head at this time. She knew her mother too well, so after thinking about it, she could only tell her good sister, Princess Pingyang, that although Princess Pingyang is from the Li family, she knew that Princess Pingyang would never harm her.

Li Xiu nodded secretly when he heard this. Princess Guanghua and Princess Pingyang both said that Princess Tong'an was timid, but her timidity was not timid in the general sense, but because she was afraid that others would implicate her. Therefore, for the sake of her daughter's safety, she could definitely do it.

Princess Guanghua is a very kind woman. It can be seen from the fact that she is unwilling to kill and silence people. However, this gave Li Xiu a headache, because besides killing and silence people, it may be difficult to keep Princess Guanghua's secret.

In addition, Li Xiu knew very clearly that the Feinusi around Li Shimin was everywhere. Now the news that Princess Guanghua was found has probably reached Li Shimin's ears. Princess Guanghua was once Yang Guang's concubine. With this alone, the people of Feinusi would definitely check Princess Guanghua's experience over the years, and Yishuiguan is the top priority.

In this way, the matter of Princess Guanghua and her children will eventually reach Li Shimin's ears sooner or later. Although Princess Guanghua is Li Shimin's cousin, he cannot even tolerate his own brothers and nephews, so what will he do with Yang Fan's child at that time, even Li Xiu cannot predict what Li Xiu will do?
