"What's wrong..."
In the east kitchen, Li Hao was slicing meat while thinking hard.
It's like a mess. It looks messy, but there are traces to follow. As long as you find the thread, you can sort it out, but he can't find it.
This made Li Hao feel distressed.
Damn it, what is the problem... Li Hao was extremely depressed. He was sure that the thread definitely existed, but...
"Calm down, think carefully, you can always find it, Li Hao, you are a smart person..." Li Hao encouraged himself while thinking back...
Suddenly, he was startled and blurted out: "Huang Shang!"
He finally knew something was wrong.
In terms of business, the Li family's size is like the top echelon, far exceeding the existence of the Li family, and almost non-existent.
Imperial merchants may sound majestic, but in reality they are still merchants.
Did the businessman talk to the emperor?
joke!
At best, he can barely talk to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he will never fall into the emperor's eyes.
Scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants; merchants have the lowest status. Why does the king of a country need to pay respect to a merchant?
Furthermore, even if my uncle really has such a big fortune, he should be cautious and cautious. He will never be so pushy. Once the emperor is jealous, it will be a disaster.
My uncle can't be so stupid.
Huangshang, Your Majesty... Li Hao came up with the answer, and his whole body felt like he was struck by lightning.
"Hey, dear, my old uncle is Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty and is the current emperor. I'll go, it's so exciting!"
Li Hao was numb, feeling that his life had reached its peak.
It's right, the age is right, everything is right, why does Jin Yiwei listen to his uncle so much, why does the emperor pay so much respect to his uncle, why...
No, there is still something wrong.
Li Hao discovered another problem, and that was his Qingye.
"Even if he is an old uncle...the Emperor's chief physician, and even has the grace to save lives, a majestic king of a country would never be so...condescending."
Yes, in front of Mr. Qing, the old uncle is humble!
In the past year and several months in the capital, he was deeply impressed by the fact that his uncle was not only respectful to Master Qing, he was even...a little scared.
The emperor... to be precise, he is the emperor's father. Is this necessary?
Even if the other party is the doctor treating him, there is no need to do this.
There are so many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. When treating the emperor, does the emperor have to please them and treat them with care?
joke!
What's the problem?

Living room.
"Father, are you... talking about me?" Zhu Youtang looked blank.
"If you don't tell me, who are you talking about?" Zhu Jianshen snorted coldly.
"I am the emperor!" Zhu Youtang murmured, "In terms of status, I can't compare to him..."
Considering that the issue of the emperor's heir still needs to be solved by Li Qing, Zhu Youtang did not continue, but felt very dissatisfied.
'What kind of identity do I have? What is his identity? '
Seeing that he was still dissatisfied, Zhu Jianshen was about to have an attack, but Li Qing took the lead and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is also doing this for your own good. You have forgotten that you..."
"I know, I know." Zhu Youtang interrupted him hurriedly, with a red face, "I am in control, but there are only so many ingredients in total, and it is eaten by four people, so they don't get much at all, especially the vegetables. It's gone when it goes into the pot..."
Barabara...
Li Qing ignored it and said to Zhu Jianshen, "Take advantage of this opportunity to ask the Supreme Emperor to move over and let the common people help you diagnose your pulse."óΠъ.oяG
Zhu Jianshen panicked and said, "Can you check your pulse after eating?"
"Father, don't worry, I will wait for you and never touch your chopsticks first."
"..."

Wing room.
"What's going on?" Li Qing said angrily, "Is it accidental or intentional?"
"What?" Zhu Jianshen pretended to be stupid.
"Stop pretending, you said 'You don't even know who you are?' You said it to him on purpose, right?" Li Qing sneered, "How many times have I told you not to expose my secret to the emperor?" , why don’t you listen?”
Zhu Jianshen said bitterly: "I just let it slip."
"Whether you let it slip, you know it yourself," Li Qing said lightly, "I'll say it again, my secret must never be passed on to anyone else."
He knew that Hongzhi cultivated immortality in history. Although there was no sign of Hongzhi at the moment, Hongzhi was the Hongzhi. This was certain!
How could he not be on guard?
It’s better not to let him know the secret of immortality!
Besides, there is Jiajing behind.
Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but have a headache. Hongzhi is the Hongzhi, and Zhengde is also the Zhengde?
If so, what about Jiajing?
Damn...who is Jiajing's father?
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "I have my own plans, so don't interfere. If you do what you did today, I won't fix you!"
"...It's too much!" Zhu Jianshen said angrily, "I'm just too spoiled by you."
"Tell me again who is doting on whom?" Li Qing glared.
Zhu Jianshen: "..."

Dongchu,
After cutting the meat into slices and washing the spinach and cabbage, Li Hao still couldn't understand who Qing Ye was.
This is not to blame for his stupidity, he has some impressions of his godfather.
Li Qing hugged him when he was a child, but it was the 'middle-aged' Li Qing, not the young and weak Li Qing.
Based on this, even if Li Hao tried to break his head, he would never connect the two people.
This wave is a blind spot.
However, he has basically determined the identity of his old uncle - his name is Emperor Chenghua, the current Supreme Emperor!
"My cousin is the emperor, my uncle is the Chenghua Emperor, and my grandfather is the orthodox emperor..." Li Hao murmured, "No wonder my father is afraid of my mother, he doesn't even dare to take a concubine, dare to love...he is What a consort!"
He discovered a great secret.
At the same time, I also became sentimental.
This relationship is complicated. It seems to be a good thing, but it may not be what it is?
After all...my uncle doesn't even recognize him.
"Alas!" Li Hao sighed, suppressed all emotions, and walked out of the East Kitchen with the ingredients...
"The food is here~"
Li Hao drawled in a long voice and walked in with a playful smile. He tried hard to maintain his "ignorant" setting, walked to the table and started to order the food.
However, as the hot pot swelled, everyone seemed to have lost their appetite.
"Uncle, why don't you eat?"
He was so angry... Zhu Jianshen glared at Li Qing and said, "You guys eat, I'm a little full."
"Your Majesty, please."
I really wanted to eat, but... alas... Zhu Youtang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm not very hungry anymore."
"I'm hungry." Li Qingle said, "It's all inside."
Li Hao: "..."
…
Half an hour later, Zhu Jianshen took the lead to say goodbye, followed closely by Zhu Youtang. Soon, everything inside and outside the courtyard was clean.
Li Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and cleaned the 'battlefield' without losing his mind.
"What's wrong?"
Li Qing leaned lazily on his chair and asked with squinted eyes.
"No, it's nothing." Li Hao shook his head and continued to be in a daze while mechanically wiping the table.
"Did you find something?"
Li Hao was stunned and said in shock: "Master Qing, you, you know?"
"I know more than you." Li Qing nodded with a smile.
"Really?" Li Hao quickly dropped the rag and asked, "Master Qing, is my uncle really... the Supreme Emperor?"
"Um."
"So, my mother is the eldest princess?"
"good."
Although Li Hao was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel excited after hearing these words of affirmation. It turned out that he was so noble.
Immediately, he felt a little depressed again.
What's the use of being noble? Isn't it just that you can't see the light of day?
You can't use it to show off, it's all false.
Li Hao sighed: "Master Qing, can you tell me something? I'm grown up, so I should be qualified to know this, right?"
"Really want to know?"
"I want to know!" Li Hao nodded heavily.
"Okay, you have to know this sooner or later anyway. Now that I've discovered it, there's no harm in telling you." Li Qing sat up straight and explained his confusion.
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Hao basically figured it out.
When my grandfather had an accident during his military expedition, he moved to Jinling and settled in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion. Then, my grandma also went to the Yongqing Marquis Mansion. The two gave birth to their mother, who was a childhood sweetheart with her father... and then they had him.
"I see..." Li Hao finally knew his life experience.
"Master Qing, how do you know this?"
"Your mother told me this when I was chatting with her." Li Qing opened his mouth.
Li Hao firmly refused to believe it, "She didn't even tell me such a private matter, how could she tell you everything?"
"Because she's afraid of me!"
"..."
Li Hao was speechless, but he always felt that something was wrong, "Master Qing, by the way, which branch are you from?"
"This is far away. If we look back..." Li Qing thought for a moment, "Li Jinglong's brother."
"Your ancestor was the younger brother of the second generation Cao Guogong?" Li Hao exclaimed.
He had read the genealogy and found that Li Jinglong was the eldest son of the founding hero Li Wenzhong, so he could only be his younger brother.
Wrong again, he is the younger brother... Li Qing rolled his eyes: It's not my ancestor, it's me.
"So that's it..." Li Hao nodded, "By the way, Mr. Qing, where did you live before?"
"Me? I don't have a fixed place, I'm just wandering around." Li Qing smiled and said, "I'll live wherever I go."
"How is it possible?" Li Hao was puzzled, "We are from the same family. Even if the family is in decline, Cao Guogong's government will not ignore death. Besides, you know medical skills and live such a comfortable life while wandering?"
"I have been a Taoist priest in the mountains for ten years, and I learned all my skills in Taoist temples," Li Qing said.
"Is that so..." Li Hao still felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it. Everything was obviously reasonable, but...
"Master Qing, are you hiding something from me?"
Li Qing did not deny it, nodded and said: "One day you will know, if I don't tell you, it will be too late, so don't break the casserole and ask the truth;
There are some things... so what if you know? Li Qing smiled and asked, "Just like now, you know the true identities of your mother, uncle, cousin, and grandfather. Are you happy?" "
"I..." Li Hao shook his head bitterly: "Oh, the moment I just guessed it, I flew up with joy, but it was only for a moment. I calmed down and thought about it. Knowing and not knowing are the same. Knowing it makes me sad. "
After a pause, "Since Mr. Qing said so, I won't ask. You won't harm me. Thinking about it, it's also for my own good not to let me know."
Li Qing's eyes were filled with joy: "Yes, I have grown up!"
