Zhu Houzhao smiled and said," I met you once by accident and had a good impression of you. I had the West Hall investigate you and found you to be a promising person. So I plan to give you an official position and let you work for me. Are you willing?"”
Zhu Houzhao knew that although Cheng Fei liked to play around and had a crazy and silly appearance, he was actually very shrewd. That was why he said these words to calm his mind and make it seem that it was not so abrupt to send someone to look for him.
When Cheng Fei heard Zhu Houzhao's words, he was instantly overjoyed. He put on a humble expression and said with a smile,"Your Majesty, you're flattering me. I'm just a little outstanding, really just a little.”
As he spoke, Cheng Fei stretched out his right hand, leaving a small gap between his thumb and index finger.
"You don't have to be humble." Zhu Houzhao smiled. Of course, there is another reason why I value you. That is, you have a father who was once the number one expert in Great Ming.”
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Cheng Huan's body trembled violently. Before coming to the palace, Cheng Huan already knew that Cheng Feifei was the child from back then. He was also the child of Gu Santong and Suxin.
Cheng Huan couldn't help but feel nervous when she thought of her father, Gu Santong.
Although Cheng Huan didn't know much, he knew that Gu Santong's reputation in the Great Ming Dynasty wasn't very good. Later, he was even ignored by Iron-guts Divine Marquis Zhu and locked up in the ninth level of the imperial prison.
As the current emperor's uncle, she didn't know about the subtle relationship between Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Bujue.
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, everyone in the hall was shocked and subconsciously looked at Cheng Fei.
Especially Eunuch Sun, he was even more shocked in his heart. He never thought that the person Zhu Houzhao had instructed him to find would actually be the son of the original number one expert of Great Ming.
In the beginning, Eunuch Sun was curious as to why Zhu Houzhao would let him find a little hooligan like Cheng Fei.
Cheng Fei Fei was also shocked and blurted out,""Emperor, you said that my father was once Great Ming's number one expert? The undefeatable brat Gu Santong who was defeated by the current number one expert of Great Ming, Iron-guts Divine Marquis?”
Zhu Houzhao nodded." That's right. If you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Lan next to you, or Cheng Huan."”
Cheng Huan's expression changed again when she heard Zhu Houzhao's words. She did not expect Zhu Houzhao to know so much about her.
When Cheng Fei heard this, he did not hesitate and asked Cheng Huan directly,"Mother, is what the emperor said true? My father, was he really once the number one expert of Great Ming, the undefeatable naughty boy Gu Santong?”
Hearing Cheng Fei's question, Yu Huatian, Eunuch Sun, and Nie Feng all looked at Cheng Huan, waiting for his answer.
Zhu Houzhao remained calm as he sat on the dragon throne.
Cheng Huan nodded." The Emperor is right. Fei 'er, your biological father is indeed Gu Santong, and I'm not your biological mother."”
"Mother, you're not lying to me, are you?" Cheng Fei quickly asked. Then who is my mother?"
"Your biological mother's name is Suxin. Back then…" Cheng Huan said.
Cheng Huan didn't hide anything and told her everything that had happened in Yangxin Hall.
Cheng Huan understood that since Zhu Houzhao was able to investigate the situation of her and Cheng Cheng, he must have also investigated the matter of Su Xin and Gu Santong.
Listening to Cheng Huan's story, Nie Feng, Yu Huatian, and Eunuch Sun all sighed. Although Zhu Houzhao knew the whole story, he still felt a little emotional after hearing Cheng Huan's story.
The more he understood Gu Santong, the more Zhu Houzhao disliked him.
To put it nicely, he loved to play, but to put it bluntly, he had no sense of responsibility.
However, all of this was not important to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao was clear that Gu Santong was not far from death. What Zhu Houzhao needed to do was to squeeze out his remaining value.
" So Gu Santong is really my father. My biological mother is called Suxin," Cheng Fei muttered after Cheng Huan finished speaking. Then, he looked at Zhu Houzhao and said," Your Majesty, can you please let my father go? I'm willing to be loyal to the Emperor for the rest of my life, work for the Emperor, and repay the Emperor's kindness.”
"It's not a problem if you want me to release Gu Santong, but Gu Santong himself might not be willing to come out." Zhu Houzhao said lightly. You will understand once you see Gu Santong.”
When Cheng Fei heard this, he immediately said happily,"Emperor, are you willing to let me see my father?”
"You're not joking, sir." Zhu Houzhao nodded.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Fei quickly expressed his gratitude to Zhu Houzhao.
"There's no need to be so polite, but before that, let Eunuch Sun bring you down to wash up and tidy up." I will first appoint you as a fifth-grade imperial guard. Change into your official uniform and then send you to see your father in a dignified manner. This will also prevent him from worrying. Perhaps you can even persuade him to change his mind.”
"Cheng Fei thanks the emperor for his kindness!"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Cheng Fei immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and expressed his gratitude.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said lightly,""Eunuch Sun, take Cheng Fei and Cheng Huan away.”
"Yes," Eunuch Sun replied. Then, he left with Cheng Fei and Cheng Huan.
After the three of them left, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yu Huatian and said indifferently,"Go to the ninth level of the imperial prison to see Gu Santong now, and then…"
"This subject obeys the decree!"
After Zhu Houzhao finished giving his orders, Yu Huatian respectfully greeted Zhu Houzhao, then cupped his fists and left.
