The Holy Spirit's prejudice against the Qi family had deepened invisibly.
Qi Yan's jaw tightened, and his handsome face was extremely cold.
It is said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the final outcome of the ministers is just that if the king wants the ministers to die, the ministers have to die.
But he didn't want to.
Why?
Did the bloody lives of my father, second brother, and those 30,000 soldiers result in suspicion that deepened over time? Then what were the soldiers desperately guarding?
The ministers support the monarch's authority, but only if the person in power is worthy of it.
"knew."
A calm, deep voice that didn't reveal any emotion said this.
Lai Che felt a chill all over. He lowered his head. For some reason, Qi Yan, who did not reveal his true emotions, made him feel even more terrifying. He was like a dormant lion, an extremely calm hunter.
If you don't take action, it's enough. Once you take action, it's a one-hit kill.
He shook and forced himself not to scare himself again. That was the Holy Sage. No matter how crazy Qi Yan was, he should not treat that person...
…
That day, when the sun was about to set, a pair of bloody hands suddenly grabbed a woman's dress.
The woman was startled and turned around, her pupils shrinking sharply.
"master!"
She lowered her voice, and the vigilance she had developed over many years of training allowed her to immediately observe the situation around her. However, her movements were not slow and her strength was strong, so she dragged the person into the house under cover.
The woman's name is Xuewei, and the person she is hiding is Yu Nanxun.
Seeing her master's hands full of blood and his joints full of blood marks, she trembled with distress and said in a trembling voice: "Master, who made you do this? I will give you medicine to avenge you!"
The bloody hand grabbed her, and when Yu Nanxun raised his head, he clearly heard Xuewei take a breath.
The bloody traces that opened the flesh...
Her eyes were red with hatred, and the calm woman in the past now had a cry in her voice.
"Master! Tell me who it is."
Yu Nanxun looked at her, the coldness in his eyes was still frightening.
His low and hoarse voice sounded like a hungry ghost crawling out of hell. He approached Xuewei and asked, "Aren't you afraid now that I've become like this?"
"Not afraid."
"Xuewei will never be afraid of you."
She raised her neck, actively exposing her vitality in front of him.
The slender neck seemed to be broken if it was bent. Yu Nanxun's eyes deepened and he drew back.
The distance between the two became longer, and a trace of disappointment flashed in Xuewei's eyes.
"Well, go put on a mask and apply medicine for me."
He never said who was the person who harmed him to this point. Xuewei felt a dull pain in her heart, her lips moved slightly, and finally she bowed her head.
However, the lowered eyes still hide exploration and hatred.
She will definitely find that person.
Anyone who hurts his master deserves to die!
At this time, the Qi family.
Mrs. Qi pulled Ling Yutong, with a trace of reluctance in her old eyes, but she still said: "Yutong, Ce'er's funeral has been completed. The letter of dissolution of the engagement he wrote to you has already taken effect.
"
"Now, although the family has been cleared, there will still be those open and covert attacks."
"Why do you, a fragile daughter, have to suffer so much with us? When your parents entrusted you here, they had assumed that something would happen to the Qi family and left a message. I thought at the time, no matter what, the Qi family
They can all protect you."
"But now, I'm not sure anymore."
Ling Yutong was startled. She shook her head and held Mrs. Qi's hand, with hesitation on her face: "My parents...left a message?"
Mrs. Qi nodded: "Yes, I will not hide it from you now. Your parents have left a message. If one day you feel confused and uneasy, you can go to the edge of southern Xinjiang to find the medicine valley. This jade pendant is a token."
She took out a simple-colored jade pendant from an old box. The jade pendant was not as clear as ordinary jade. The pattern on it looked like two small snakes intertwining infatuatedly. It was inexplicably atmospheric and weird at the same time.
"Yutong, I hope you can leave."
Mrs. Qi placed the jade pendant in her palm with great care, with deep concern in her eyes.
Ling Yutong's eyes were a little astringent.
She shook her head: "But, I don't want to leave."
"I know that you are deeply concerned about me, but I can't do it if you ask me to leave at this time. This jade pendant points to Yaogu, which must have clues about my parents, but you also said that the prerequisite for leaving is that I feel
Confused and restless.”
"But when I stay in the Qi family, I am neither confused nor uneasy. Being with you, I feel very at ease."
"Please grandma, please don't drive me away, okay?"
Ling Yutong's eyes filled with tears as she spoke. When she knelt down and was about to kowtow, Mrs. Qi reached out to stop her.
"That's all."
"What grandma told you today was not intended to drive you away. I just wanted to give you a way out. Your parents are not ordinary people. They must have hidden secrets back then, so they entrusted you to Qi as a young child.
Home, you..."
"I understand."
"I never blamed them, and I never thought about leaving the Qi family."
"Grandma, don't you believe us?"
"Me, eldest sister, third brother, and fourth brother, as long as we work together, no one can bully our family."
Mrs. Qi sighed: "Yutong, you have really grown up."
Once upon a time, Yutong was the most innocent and ignorant girl. I don’t know when she grew up to be a calm and wise young lady.
"These are part of my grandmother's body. I know it's not easy for you all, so take them."
Ling Yutong couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to continue.
Mrs. Qi said she was tired. When the door was closed, Aunt Kong came over and sighed in a low voice: "You, why bother driving Miss Yutong away?"
Mrs. Qi waved her hand.
"I actually want to keep her more than anyone else."
"In this crisis, if she and Ayan hadn't cooperated perfectly, the family would not have been able to overcome it so easily."
"Ce'er has gone. I even had selfish intentions and wanted to move the engagement from Ce'er to Zekai or Ayan. After all, the original engagement was only concluded because Ce'er was the right age.
"
Mother Kong was startled: "Then you..."
Actually, it's not impossible.
The third young master and the fourth young master are both the best young men. It would be great if they and Miss Yutong could fall in love and become a family in the end.
"I can't be too greedy or too selfish."
"I thought about it carefully. Zekai is destined not to pursue a martial career. It will be too difficult for him to become a civil servant in the future. As for Ayan, he will definitely enter the military camp. With his paranoid temperament, it will be difficult for him to do so.
If you go into the fire, you may face several life-and-death crises."
"I can't bear to let Yutong suffer this."
"I would rather let her marry an ordinary family and be a happy wife for the rest of her life, and not have anything to do with this dirty official power."
Grandma Kong was silent when she heard this.
At this moment, Mrs. Qi's head really hurt a little.
Aunt Kong came closer and pressed her carefully, and whispered: "Actually, why do you have to worry about so much?"
"If we can become a couple, we will be willing to get through it together even if there are many difficulties and dangers ahead."
"Look, my slave, Miss Yutong will be blessed in the future."
