When Rong Lan heard Chu Xiaoxiao's words, she looked shocked. In her memory, she did not know a man named Chu.

Chu Xiaoxiao explained, "It should be said that my father knows Aunt Rong, but Aunt Rong doesn't know my father."

Rong Lan thought that although the Chu family lived in seclusion, it was normal for someone in the Chu family to disguise their identities to travel. And counting it, Chu Xiaoxiao's father was the adopted son of the Chu family, and he probably had a similar relationship with Rong Hao and the Rong family in the Western Liao Dynasty.

Rong Lan was born in a famous family, with both talent and beauty, and was a rare general among women. She became famous at a young age. Later, she experienced a sudden family change and escaped alone to "sube the enemy". She has been a famous figure in the world over the years. It is normal for people she didn't know know about her, but this is normal.

"This is the first time I left the Chu family, but when I was a child, my father often told me stories outside, because my father traveled to many places when he was young, and he lived in the eastern Ming, Nanzhao, Xiliao, and knew many people and things here."

"When I was a child, I liked to hear my father talk about war between the two countries the most. Once, I asked him why all men went to the battlefield. My father said that it was not the case. There were also female generals who were stronger than men. He knew one. My father was talking about Aunt Rong. When he was young, he traveled to the Western Liao Dynasty and had intervened in the Rong family army for three months and fought with Aunt Rong! But Aunt Rong certainly didn't know, because my father was good at disguise and used his fake identity at that time. He liked to experience different lives in different places." Chu Xiaoxiao said.

Rong Lan couldn't help but be curious, "What else did your father do besides mingling into the army to fight?"

When she was a child, Rong Lan's dream was not just to be a general. She wanted to do many things, go to many places, and experience different lives, rather than being trapped by her background and family, and could only live her life with what the world expected.

Of course, Rong Lan knew very early that those thoughts could only think about it. She was not only a daughter of the Rong family, but also was chosen as the Crown Princess of the Western Liao Dynasty. She yearned for freedom, but she wanted to protect her family and would not be willful to do things that hurt her family and relatives.

Therefore, when Rong Lan heard Chu Xiaoxiao talk about her father's experience, she felt a little sad and envious.

Chu Xiaoxiao mentioned his father, his eyes lit up a little, "My father has done so many things, and I can't finish it in a while! I'll tell Aunt Rong what I think is the most interesting! After my father stayed in the Western Liao army for three months, he came to Dongming. Aunt Rong must not know what he did. My father said that every time he went to an imperial city, the first thing he did was to sneak into the palace to taste whether the emperor ate the imperial meals that the emperor ate was to taste."

Rong Lan admitted that she really couldn't imagine this...

"My father loves to eat and also loves to make it by himself, and the taste is so tricky. He said that the imperial meals in Western Liao are a bit rough, the imperial meals in Nanzhao are too sweet, and the imperial meals in the Dongming royal family are much better, with rich taste and diverse categories. There are a few of them that he likes very much. Whenever my father encounters the food he really likes, he will learn it before leaving. He said that when he mentions it with his relatives and friends in the future, he can make it with them." Chu Xiaoxiao said, with a pale but gentle smile on his face, "So, when I was a child, I ate the imperial meals of the royal family of the Dongming Jun family, which were made by my father myself!"

Rong Lan has seen many men who like delicious food, such as her son, son-in-law, nephew, who like the dishes she cooks very much. But when she meets a man she likes, she has to learn how to cook by herself. This is the first time Rong Lan has heard of it.

"At that time, my father was in Wan'an City and tried to sneak into the imperial kitchen of the Dongming Palace. He said that only in this way could he learn the essence. That time, my father left Dongming Kingdom and was going south to go home, but he went to the Western Liao Kingdom again. My father said that he wanted to find Aunt Rong." Chu Xiaoxiao said.

Rong Lan was stunned for a moment, "Look for me? Why?" She tried hard to recall that no one left a deep impression on the soldiers she had led, and she could face the father that Chu Xiaoxiao said.

"My father said that he felt that a woman like Aunt Rong married Ji Xu and became a queen and a concubine were all a pity for him. Therefore, he wanted to give Aunt Rong the same gift." Chu Xiaoxiao said.

"What?" Rong Lan was even more confused.

"Disguise. My father's disguise is very good. He said that he planned to pretend to be an old man and give the disguise secret to Aunt Rong. As for whether Aunt Rong should be used and how to use it, he didn't care. He just thought that Aunt Rong could have a way to get rid of those constraints." Chu Xiaoxiao said.

Rong Lan frowned slightly. Disguise? It is really useful. In fact, she was chosen to be the crown princess back then, but the Rong family actually didn't like Ji Xu, and they didn't want her to marry Ji Xu. Rong Hao once secretly suggested that it would be better to let her escape from the family and live in another place. Although Rong Lan directly stated that it was impossible at the time, she was not moved, and even thought about it. She really felt that it was too risky to deceive the Western Liao royal family. Unless she was disfigured or hid in the mountains and forests, where could she go? If she knew the disguise, maybe some things would be different. But the premise was that the Rong family was not deliberately removed by the Western Liao royal family...

Chu Xiaoxiao continued, "But when my father returned to Qitiancheng again, something happened to the Rong family. At that time, my father could not find Aunt Rong. He thought of rescuing Aunt Rong's nephew from the heavenly prison, but he happened to see the process of the old miracle doctor Xie Yin saving Aunt Rong's nephew. My father did not show up, hid in the dark, covered up the old miracle doctor Xie to avoid being discovered. After confirming that Doctor Xie and the child were safely escaped, he left. Because something happened at home, he wanted to rush back."

Rong Lan did not expect that Chu Xiaoxiao's father actually helped the Rong family. Speaking of which, when he learned that Xie Yin and the Feng family had joined forces to save Feng Jinbao, Yuan Qiu mentioned that he might have helped him secretly, otherwise in that sensitive period, Lao Dian Xie, a man who knew how to do martial arts, would not be so smooth if he wanted to change a child from the heavily guarded Xiliao Heaven Prison.

Because Xie Yin died and the old man of the Feng family died, the specific process of changing the child was only Xie Yin left a few words in the letter that was almost burned, and Xie Yin also wrote, "Fortunately, God blessed, but was not discovered."

But it turned out that there was really someone covering it secretly, and even Xie Yin himself didn't know it.

Rong Lan sighed deeply, looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Why didn't you mention this before?" She didn't believe that it was Chu Xiaoxiao who forgot when she first saw her, but now she remembered it. At the same time, Rong Lan suddenly understood why Chu Xiaoxiao was so excited and admired when she saw her for the first time. Although Rong Lan was famous, Chu Xiaoxiao was originally from the family who had an accident and rushed over to ask for help. Logically, his understanding of Rong Lan was only the rumors, and there were praises and criticisms, so it would not be like that.

"My father said that if he had stayed in Qitian City for a while and investigated Aunt Rong's whereabouts, Aunt Rong would not have fallen into the scumbag of Dongming Kingdom marrying Mu Zhenxuan..." Chu said with a smile, looking carefully at Rong Lan's expression, "I didn't dare to mention it when I met Aunt Rong for the first time because my father felt that he had not helped the Rong family, and I could not use these to seek credit. The old miracle doctor Xie has passed away, and I don't know how Aunt Rong's nephew is. I talked about that matter if..."

Chu Xiaoxiao was thinking, she told Rong Lan that the child of the Rong family was rescued by Xie Yin, but if Rong Lan finally found out that the child did not grow up alive or encountered other accidents, wouldn’t it be a double harm?

So Chu Xiaoxiao originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to Yuan Qiu first, but many unexpected things happened. Before he could tell, Yuan Qiu was captured.

It is mentioned now because Chu Xiaoxiao was listening to Feng Jinbao and Duan Yunhe’s bickering, and heard Duan Yunhe call Feng Jinbao Feng Saner. Chu Xiaoxiao’s father once told her that the Rong family son saved by Xie Yin was placed in the Feng family to raise him.

Therefore, Chu Xiaoxiao guessed that Feng Jinbao should be Yuan Qiu's cousin, the child saved by Xie Yin back then, otherwise he would not have appeared in the Rong family and called Rong Lan an aunt.

Since the nephew has found it, Chu Xiaoxiao feels that there is nothing to say about the unknown intersection between her father and the Rong family.

Rong Lan told Chu Xiaoxiao that Rong Hao's son, her nephew, had been taken away by Rong Hao before that, and now they are all alive and have been retrieved by Yuan Qiu and Su Mo.

Chu Xiaoxiao was surprised, "So that's it. Both cousins ​​are safe and sound, it's great!"

Chu Xiaoxiao is Su Mo's cousin, and Su Mo should be called Lin Song and Feng Jinbao, so Chu Xiaoxiao is right to call Lin Song and Feng Jinbao a cousin, just like what she calls Lu Zhe.

"If I see your father in the future, I will definitely thank him very much." Rong Lan said.

Chu Xiaoxiao shook his head, "My father will definitely feel ashamed of it. However, he hasn't been here for several years and he doesn't know about his cousin and sister-in-law. If my father learned that Aunt Rong had become the Emperor of Dongming, he would definitely be happy."

Rong Lan sighed lightly, "I don't know what Ling Zun's name is?"

"My father's name sounds a bit..." Chu Xiao blinked, "His name is Chu Chu."

"Chuchu?" Rong Lan couldn't help but chuckled.

"It's Muzhe Chu. My father said that it was given to him by my uncle, who was my cousin's father. He entered the Chu family when he was a child, and I don't know his previous name." Chu Xiaoxiao said.

As he was speaking, Rong Yuanshun's voice came from outside the door, "Mom!"

Rong Lan looked over and saw Rong Yuanshun running in, behind him were Liu Zhong and Jun Lingyue.

Chu Xiaoxiao wanted to sit up, but Rong Lan shook her head and signaled her not to move.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, how do you feel?" Rong Yuanshun ran to the bed and asked at Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly, "I think it's better." However, her bloodless little face made this sentence unconvincing.

Jun Lingyue took Chu Xiaoxiao's pulse, and Chu Xiaoxiao looked at her with nice eyes.

Jun Lingyue smiled softly, "Is there anything dirty on my face?"

Chu Xiaoxiao shook his head, "No, it's my sister so beautiful, just like the person in the painting comes out."

Yuan Qiu also said that Jun Lingyue seemed to have come out of the picture of a lady, with nobility and elegance in her bones.

Jun Lingyue Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. Liu Zhong told Jun Lingyue to explain how to use medicine for Chu Xiaoxiao next and what to pay attention to. Jun Lingyue carefully recorded it.

Rong Lan told Chu Xiaoxiao to have a good rest, and they left.

Regarding Chu Xiaoxiao's father Chu Chu Chu, Rong Lan wrote down this name in her heart, and planned to ask Chu Xiaoxiao about her father later, her appearance, characteristics, strength, etc. Then, let Rong Yuancheng arrange someone to chase Su Mo and tell him about these things, so that he must avoid conflicts with Chu Chu, because if nothing unexpected happens, once Su Yan has the opportunity, he will spare no effort to provoke the conflict between Su Mo and Chu Chu.

Feng Jinbao and Duan Yunhe had already welcomed the Western Liao Emperor Ji Fengyuan in public.

Ji Fengyuan, who entered Wan'an City, was real, not a substitute. Under Rong Yuancheng's arrangement, Yao Yuan secretly left the city and temporarily became the Emperor of Western Liao.

However, since Ji Xu, Ji Chang and Ji Qing died one after another, even ordinary people in the Eastern Ming Kingdom could feel that the Western Liao royal family was not as good as before. When the Nanzhao royal family was most present, it was the marriage between Su Mo and Yuan Qiu. Later, with the defeat of Nanzhao, "Su Yan" succeeded to the throne and became more and more peaceful.

Qingyun was in Nanzhao Kingdom pretending to be "Su Yan". It has been more than a year since he finally came back. He would be able to get rid of this fake identity and be himself soon. He was looking forward to being happy, but before he arrived in Wan'an City, he received news that he had something to do with Su Mo and Yuanqiu, so how could he be happy? Qingting, who had been following Qingyun, even wanted to go south to chase Su Mo directly, if Rong Yuancheng had not specifically told them not to act without permission.

Now among the Three Kingdoms, Dongming Kingdom has become the strongest, but for those who don’t know the inside story, it is definitely not easy for the Rong royal family of Dongming Kingdom to unify the world.

But for those who know the inside story, this is indeed not easy, but the most difficult problems have been solved, and now there is only the last step left.

The people watched the Emperor of Western Liao and Emperor Nanzhao be welcomed into the inn, without any storm. They were so calm that they seemed to be visiting Wan'an City, so friendly that it seemed that the conflict between the Three Kingdoms did not exist at all.

Rong Yuancheng will hold a banquet in the palace tonight to entertain Ji Fengyuan and "Su Yan", which is also a formality.

When Rong Yuancheng's ascension ceremony tomorrow, he will "detain" Ji Fengyuan and "Su Yan" according to the original plan, "force" them to bow their heads, and when the handover of military power is officially completed, the unification of the Three Kingdoms can be achieved.

The reason why Ji Fengyuan and "Su Yan" were not allowed to take the initiative to hand over the imperial power was because it was difficult to convince the people of the Western Liao Kingdom and Nanzhao Kingdom, and it would even give some restless people the opportunity to choose to abandon the emperor who betrayed the country and establish a new emperor.

Rong Yuancheng is not worried about being criticized for being suppressed by power and not being moral. There is no morality to talk about in this kind of thing.

The night banquet in the palace was boring, for the parties involved, Rong Yuancheng, Ji Fengyuan, and Qingyun, who was pretending to be Su Yan.

After the perfunctory banquet, Rong Yuancheng finally returned home after a busy day. You Wu told Rong Lan to wait for him in Guanlan Courtyard.

When Rong Yuancheng arrived at Guanlan Courtyard, Rong Lan was feeding Chu Xiaoxiao to drink soup.

Rong Yuancheng stood in the corridor and waited until Rong Lan came out, and the mother and son entered the viewing pavilion.

The moonlight is bright and the night wind is cool.

"Are you ready?" Rong Lan asked.

Rong Yuancheng nodded, "Don't worry, mom, everything has been arranged."

"You should be more cautious." Rong Lan said, maybe someone was secretly causing trouble.

"I know. Mom thinks there is no problem with Chu Xiaoxiao?" Rong Yuancheng asked.
