Qin Shaoyou and Sixiu walked to a stream in the valley.
Looking at the gurgling stream, Sixiu sighed quietly.
"I really didn't expect that I would be able to see the mother I have been dreaming about today. I never thought that she would have suffered so much and suffered so much..."
Qin Shaoyou didn't speak, but gently patted Si Xiu's shoulder to express comfort.
Sixiu raised her head, looked at him, and continued to sigh.
"I haven't thought that you would be my uncle. No wonder I felt that you were very kind when I first met you. At that time, I thought it was because you saved me..."
"I didn't expect it either."
Qin Shaoyou was also very emotional.
My father and mother are really capable of having children.
Seven children, all of them are extraordinary. Either they are capable and capable, or they find a husband and the children they have are not easy.
Everyone says that dragons give birth to nine sons, each with their own abilities. When it comes to giving birth to babies, father and mother are just as good as dragons, only two are missing.
Moreover, their bodies have not yet reached the age of menopause and infertility. Maybe when they return to Luocheng next time, they will have given themselves a younger brother or younger sister...
Qin Shaoyou and Sixiu were very happy while feeling emotional.
The two of them thought each other was good, but now they found out that they were uncle and nephew, and they were even more happy.
Only Qin Lin, seeing the two people getting close from a distance, was filled with regret.
He thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this kid Qin Shaoyou is actually the younger brother of Qin Xuanshi and the uncle of His Highness... As a relative of the emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the palace. It's a pity that he is a eunuch.
What a talent.”
After a pause, Qin Lin suddenly felt that as a relative of the emperor, it seemed more suitable to enter the palace.
As a eunuch, my uncle will definitely work harder and be more loyal than others, right?
Although there is no precedent for a maternal uncle to be an eunuch in history, there are some distant relatives of the royal family who became eunuchs.
For example, the famous Zhao Gao.
There is controversy among later generations as to whether Zhao Gao was an eunuch, but history books do say that he was an eunuch. We can only say whether he was castrated the day after tomorrow, or whether he was an eunuch born in heaven.
But whether it is a heavenly eunuch or a later eunuch, there is a precedent for royal family members to enter the palace.
With Qin Shaoyou's ability, there will be no problem in taking charge of the Chief Ceremony Supervisor and the Editorial Office when Si Xiu ascends to the throne...
The more Qin Lin thought about it, the more she felt that this thing was feasible, and she began to figure out what she could do to convince Qin Shaoyou to change his career to a promising job like an eunuch.
If you want to be an official, you can at most be granted a title of lord or general, but if you want to be a eunuch, you can live to be nine thousand years old.
On the other side, Si Xiu expressed his inner confusion at the moment after expressing some emotion to Qin Shaoyou.
"Ever since the day I was sensible, I have always dreamed of being reunited with my parents, and having a happy family...
Now, I finally met my parents and realized my long-held dream. But I didn’t expect that it would look like this.
My mother's appearance was completely disfigured, and my father wanted to kill me. He even imprisoned me in an underground palace, among mummies and zombies, and wanted to use me as a sacrifice to those terrifying mad gods...
Uncle, you have seen more things than me and know more principles than me. Can you possibly tell me what I should do now?"
Qin Shaoyou did not answer Si Xiu, but asked: "What do you want to do?"
"I have no idea."
Sixiu grabbed her hair, her heart filled with struggle.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to be a sacrifice, I want to avenge my mother, I want to change this chaotic world, I want to stop the people from being displaced, so that they can have enough to eat and live a stable life
…
But that man is my biological father after all, what can I do? Can I still kill him?"
After Qin Shaoyou quietly listened to Si Xiu's words, he encouraged his [Skillful Tongue] and slowed down his voice so that Si Xiu's mind could calm down.
"What should you do? I can't help you make this decision. You need to make it yourself.
This is your hardship and your mental obstacle. Others cannot help you.
All I can say is that there are trade-offs in everything in this world. How you choose depends on what you want to take and what you want to give up."
Sixiu looked at the gurgling stream and fell into silence. After a moment, she spoke again: "Uncle, do you feel that what you just said is actually all nonsense?"
Qin Shaoyou looked at Sixiu, whose expression had changed a bit and was no longer as confused as before, and laughed: "It doesn't matter if it's useless or not, as long as it can help you clear away some of the fog that shrouded your heart, it's useful."
Sixiu also smiled, but quickly put away her smile and said nothing more. She just stared at the stream and continued in silence.
Qin Shaoyou knew that it was impossible for Sixiu to get rid of her confusion and make a decision with just a few words of chicken soup.
But these few sentences of chicken soup did play some role.
At least it made Sixiu less painful.
And it also made him make some choices in his mind. It depends on whether he can be firm in his choice.
As Qin Shaoyou said, only Sixiu can make the decision on this matter.
If you have to listen to what others say to do even this kind of thing, then Si Xiu will only become a puppet in the future.
In Sixiu's body, there is the blood of the second sister and the blood of the old Qin family.
Qin Shaoyou believes that he will never be a person without independent opinions and decisiveness.
He only hoped that Sixiu could learn to grow up from this matter and learn how to be an emperor.
As for now, let Sixiu look at the stream and sort out her chaotic heart.
Maybe, this valley, this stream, is Si Xiu’s place of enlightenment.
It allows him to understand the way of an emperor and find a way to become a wise king.
It's just that this road is destined to not be easy, and it will even bear some stigma and infamy.
Qin Shaoyou turned around and returned to the pot. On the way, he called Cai Guizhong and asked him to keep an eye on Si Xiu from a distance to avoid any mistakes.
The divine heart soup in the pot has been scooped up by everyone in the valley.
After making sure that everyone in the valley had drunk the divine heart soup, Qin Shaoyou just packed up all the remaining soup and put it into the [Human Arsenal].
Immediately afterwards, he told everyone to be more vigilant and even be more hidden and careful than before.
"You ambush and stop the foolish Emperor Jianwu when he was leaving the city. He was busy going to the royal tomb and did not bother to carry out follow-up actions.
But now, with the altar in the royal tomb being destroyed and Si Xiu being rescued by us, the furious Emperor Jianwu will definitely investigate the matter and hunt down those who oppose him.
At this time, you need to be even more careful, and you must not let Emperor Jianwu discover this valley, otherwise you know better than me how bad things will be."
After hearing what Qin Shaoyou said, all the officials and monks expressed their relief.
These days, they are not just hanging around in the valley, they have made many arrangements secretly.
The people present were all masters of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and military strategists. The joint arrangement they made was not only effective, but also difficult to detect.
Even if Emperor Jianwu, that foolish emperor, sent out a large army to search the mountain again, he would never find this place.
Yun Lu said that he would survey the terrain with the senior monks and Taoists who were good at Feng Shui in the valley, and use the Feng Shui in Wuzhao Mountain to further shield the valley, so that people in this mountain would not know where the valley was.
After hearing everyone's assurances and plans, Qin Shaoyou felt relieved and immediately took out a few paper crane talismans.
"These paper crane symbols record what we saw and heard in the underground palace..."
While Qin Shaoyou was speaking, he activated one of the paper crane talismans.
As the paper crane spreads its wings, a beam of light and shadow is projected in front of everyone's eyes.
