Seeing the hesitation on Yin Tao's face, the queen quickly explained: "This is His Majesty's holy grace. As ministers, how can the Qi family refuse it explicitly?"
After a pause, she analyzed it from another angle and said: "My sister is a smart person, how come she doesn't understand the hidden meaning of this? Just imagine, suppose that my son is established as the crown prince of the Great Feng Dynasty in the future, Qi Xiao.
As his best friend, how can we not benefit from it for life? This move can be said to be of great benefit to the Qi family, so don’t miss it."
This is the truth, but Yin Tao always feels that there is something strange hidden in it.
You said, there are so many princes and princes in the capital, why are the Qi family single-handedly selected?
Even though this was indeed a good intention, she was still a little reluctant.
You know, reading with you is not just a matter of day and night, but constant companionship year after year. If you have been away from home for a long time, how can this child not miss his relatives in Qiongzhou?
Well, it’s okay not to want this honor.
Yin Tao was about to excuse her refusal, but suddenly she heard Queen Su say: "In my opinion, this matter has been settled. I will reply to Your Majesty when I turn around."
How can you refuse to use His Majesty to suppress you?
As a last resort, Yin Tao had no choice but to nod.
However, as soon as she walked out of the palace, she realized something was wrong.
If Qi Xiao is here as a companion, wouldn't it become a 'chess piece' to control her husband?
After that, if you say anything that will affect your life, you have to think carefully about it.
Thinking of this, Yin Tao's good impression of Queen Su was immediately cleared, and she also felt a strong sense of hostility.
Alas, if I had known this, I would not have brought Qi Xiao into the palace.
Now that a problem has arisen, we must consider corresponding countermeasures. Just regretting is of no use.
She thought about it briefly and quickly came up with two solutions.
The first is to deal with the matter temporarily and then find another way to escape while reading with you.
The second is that without saying any hello, a group of people act secretly and return directly to Nanyang.
However, in just a cup of tea, she resolutely eliminated the second plan from the alternatives.
If he really sneaked back to Nanyang without saying hello, he would have committed the crime of disobedience, which would have a very negative impact on Qi Xiao's future, and even the future of the entire Qi family.
Moreover, it will also give rise to an unflattering reputation in the eyes of the world.
Even if the husband explains in the future, it is impossible to bridge the gap caused by the disharmony between the king and his ministers.
It seems that right now, only the first option is available.
Forget it, let’s watch it while walking.
Yin Tao believes that with the power of her husband and her brother, she will not be treated unfairly. Besides, Queen Su is still her sister Jin Lan. She will miss her old relationship more or less, right?
The only thing I'm worried about is my child.
If he really doesn't return to Qiongzhou for so long, who can guarantee that he won't want to go home?
The result was surprising. Qi Xiao was not very open-minded about this matter. He just heard him say: "Little aunt, you really underestimate me!"
Yin Tao was startled when he heard this and said curiously: "Where did I underestimate you?"
"To tell you the truth, our Qi family does not have the pedantic feeling that our homeland cannot be moved away from our hearts!"
"this……"
"Listen to me first. Our family's earliest home was in Taohua Village in Lanshan County, and then we moved to Yongchuan Prefecture. After my father became a Beijing official, we moved here with him.
Capital. But who would have thought that within a few years, we would follow his demotion and move our family to Qiongzhou."
After a pause, Qi Xiao continued: "Since I was a child, I have been used to this kind of life of moving around. Basically, I have no concept of hometown. Even if I am forced to stay in the capital, I don't feel that I am not used to it."
Tsk tsk!
This statement really sounds like a little adult.
It is not difficult to see that our children have grown up slowly.
Yin Tao smiled approvingly and said: "You look like this, you are the kind of heart a man should have!" After saying that, she did not forget to add: "Well, you are very much like your father!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiao became even more excited. He patted his chest and said, "I know that I am not very knowledgeable and cannot compare to my father's abilities, but I will not fall behind my sister."
Um?
As you say this, why are you still comparing yourself to others?
Seeing that his aunt seemed confused, he hurriedly explained: "My sister is a very independent person. She attacked Dawan alone and traveled to Nanyang alone. She never showed any fear. As her brother, how can I lose my courage?
?Hmph, let alone reading with me, even if I am with a tiger, I won’t be afraid at all!”
In fact, the little guy really thinks so.
He thinks that with his own ability, he should go out and make a career, otherwise, wouldn't he be left behind by his sister?
After hearing this, Yin Tao smiled happily and said with emotion: "The tiger father has no dogs, he is indeed the good son of our Qi family!"
"Of course!"
"..."
The mother and daughter were sitting in a van, walking and chatting as they headed towards the Qi family's house in the capital.
Since Qi Xiao is not afraid of staying in Beijing, the rest of the things will be much easier to handle.
Yin Tao decided to revise the book with her husband as soon as she got home and tell him frankly about the matter so as to avoid his anxiety.
In addition, I also want to remind him that now that we are in a balance between the upper and lower levels, we must not openly write to you to question your Majesty. If this balance is broken, it will be difficult to repair it in the future.
As for how to escape in the future, there is currently no good plan. It seems that we have to be flexible and wait for opportunities.
In addition to writing family letters, you should also promptly notify your brother to remind him of the change in tense.
According to the original plan, he and Qi Xiao would go to Yongchuan with his brother who returned home with the coffin, wait for his mother's coffin to be buried in the ground, and then take the waterway to Qiongzhou.
But the situation now is different.
Qi Xiao was left in the capital to serve as the prince's companion, how could he leave him alone?
There is no doubt that he must stay in Beijing.
Perhaps, this is the so-called plan does not change quickly.
Just as I was sighing, I saw that I had already returned home.
As soon as I entered the door, I noticed a pool of fresh blood on the ground in the front yard. It reflected the red light in the sun, and it felt so scary.
This...what's going on?
Yin Tao frowned slightly when she saw this, and her face changed color slightly.
After regaining her composure, she looked away again and looked there.
But I saw that the blood stain was about two feet long. It was so big that it didn't look like a minor injury like a cut on the skin. Look again, I saw a bloody dagger abandoned at the base of the wall of the gatehouse.
The concierge's room was already empty.
This small house is the one where Tong Yanhuo lived in the past, but now its owner has been replaced by Huang Fei, who disguises himself as a stranger.
Lao Huang often said: Back then, he suffered a lot of frustration here, and even later, he had a psychological shadow on this Qijia courtyard.
In his own words, every time he entered this house, he would lie on the ground like a tortoise and never had a chance to answer questions standing upright.
Now that things are changing, it's someone else's turn to come in.
Let’s talk about the present moment, where have Huang Fei and others gone?
Also, whose is this pile of blood stains? Is it his?
After calming down, Yin Tao suddenly took out the mini pistol secretly gifted by her husband.
In fact, the people around her are faster than her.
Seeing something abnormal, the group of dead soldiers responsible for protection all moved into action and put on a vigilant posture.
