Liu Mingzhi's somewhat negative words made Qinglian frown, snatching the wine jar from her husband's hand, and threw herself into Young Master Liu's arms with a look of resentment.
Qinglian hugged Liu Mingzhi's waist tightly, raised her head and stared at her husband: "Husband, if you say these depressing words again, I will get angry. Why do you say these depressing words when you are so good?
Husband, you are now a master of the innate realm. The true energy in your body nourishes your muscles and meridians. Even if you don’t live a hundred years... Bah, bah, bah... Husband, you will definitely live a hundred years.
Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s talk about other things!
By the way, I just heard your husband say that five years ago you sent your child Li Ye to live in seclusion in the mountains. What do you mean by this, husband?
Don’t tell me that Li Ye, who everyone thought had passed away, is still alive, right?"
Liu Mingzhi heard Qinglian's surprised rhetorical question, and then he realized that he had accidentally told Qinglian that Li Ye was still alive.
The fact that he could say these words in front of Qinglian so unsuspectingly shows that he trusts Qinglian and other ladies to his core.
Regarding the fact that Li Ye was still alive, Liu Mingzhi had never thought of deliberately hiding it from Qi Yun and his sisters, who were close to him, but after all, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the safer it would be.
This is true for myself, and it is also true for Li Ye.
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and looked at Qinglian, who looked up at her jade neck and stared at him in surprise. He hesitated for a long time and nodded silently to the beauty.
"Yes, the kid Li Ye is still alive now. The poisonous wine my husband sent to him in the imperial study was just ordinary wine.
When my father was still alive and before my eldest brother Li Baiyu succeeded to the throne, our three children, Li Ye, Li Tao, and Jingyao, would often visit our home.
The children were still young at that time, and they were close to Weihu simply because Chengfeng and the others liked to be close to Weifu, his uncle.
Over time, my husband has developed a really good feeling for these children.
Lian'er, you also know everything that happened later. After my eldest brother was forced to commit suicide in the Qinzheng Palace, my husband supported Li Ye to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
This act of becoming a husband is not only to repay the eldest brother's kindness to the child Yue'er for saving his life, but also because he sincerely likes Li Ye and the other children.
When Li Ye ascended the throne, his husband treated him as half a son. As time went by, his expectations for him became higher and higher.
But fate plays tricks on people, and Wei Husband never thought that one day this child would regard Wei Husband as the biggest stumbling block for him to secure the throne.
Eventually it developed into the Fengyundu attack and murder.
In fact, my husband understood him very well at the time, but understanding is understanding, and reality is reality.
Let my husband fight to the death to consolidate this child's throne without any complaints, but my husband can't do it.
It would be fine if my husband was a disobedient traitor, but the extent to which my husband treated Li Ye's children's words and deeds was obvious to everyone in the world.
Under such circumstances, I, Liu Mingzhi, am willing to sacrifice my life to die. My husband is really unable to do such a kind and righteous thing.
I think that I, Liu Mingzhi, have been in the court for more than ten years. Although my performance in some aspects is unsatisfactory, and my husband has never denied this, when it comes to assisting three generations of their descendants in governing the world and continuing the Dalong, Jiangshan and Sheji, my husband
Ask yourself that you have a clear conscience.
Especially during Li Ye's reign, the husband almost took out his heart and showed the child Li Ye how the husband treated him. However, in the end, the child was regarded as a thorn in the flesh and treated as a thorn in the flesh.
.
None of you can understand the sadness that your husband felt at that time!
Until the Fengyundu assassination happened later, this child's behavior completely made my husband feel cold.
So much so that he raised an army to rebel against his husband and proclaimed himself emperor.
Even so, the husband is still... alas...
Some of these things about the old man are hard to tell you as a husband.
Again, my husband treats him as half a son. I really can't do it if I ask my husband to send him on his way with a glass of poisonous wine!
It is said that emperors are ruthless, but who remembers that tigers are poisonous and do not eat their seeds?
Just like his father, he was an emperor who was hailed as an unparalleled hero in the past! Even the polite words he gritted his teeth were sincere and sincere words of praise for him.
For such an emperor, on the eve of his death, how could he not see that the third child was unwilling to accept his eldest brother Li Baiyu's succession to the throne?
So what if he just sees it? The two sons are his biological flesh and blood. In order for the other son to be able to secure the throne after he succeeds, is he going to kill the other son with his own hands?
After a man becomes a father, how many people can do such a cruel thing?
After all, that was no one else, but his own biological son!
The father couldn't do anything to the third child. Although Li Ye was not the husband's biological flesh and blood, there was still some father-son affection mixed in, so the husband couldn't do anything either!
Just like when Li Ye sent people to assassinate his husband in Fengyundu, he also told the film owner to spare his life. Maybe this is the so-called cause and effect of sowing melons and reaping melons.
Although my husband couldn't do it, Li Ye had to die.
In order to stabilize the hearts of the new dynasty, Weihuang had no choice but to take this strategy.
Last year when Tao Ying died in love, the reason why her husband was not in the capital was because he took Jie'er to the East China Sea to visit the child Li Ye.
After burying Tao Ying's body in the mausoleum, my husband actually thought more than once that if my husband had not spared Li Ye's life, there would not have been the incident where my husband took Jie'er to visit Li Ye last year.
occur.
Then will it happen to Tao Ying because I am still in the capital... Sigh... I won't say it anymore... I won't say it anymore...
The past cannot be recalled! The past cannot be recalled! Lian'er, it's getting late, let's go back first."
Qinglian looked at her husband's sighing expression and nodded silently. She placed the remaining wine jar beside the pavilion pillar, picked up the spiced broad beans on the stone table and pulled Young Master Liu towards the official road.
"Husband, when you get home, can I make some porridge for you?"
"Okay, husband, it's been a long time since I had porridge cooked by you."
Qinglian knew that her husband was feeling a little sentimental because of Tao Ying's incident, so she deliberately changed the topic along the way and tried to talk about some light and interesting things to lighten her husband's mood.
The couple returned to Liu Mansion talking and laughing.
Upon returning to the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion, Qinglian went to the kitchen to cook porridge as promised, while Liu Mingzhi went straight to the study.
After Liu Mingzhi arrived in the study, he sat on the chair and said calmly to the air: "Check in detail the life background of the young man who stayed with Yiyi."
"As commanded."
Time passed by, and it was the twelfth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Liu Mingzhi specially took a shower, changed clothes, freshened up, left the house early carrying a baggage and a food box, and rode straight to the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing.
Today is not only the death anniversary of the former emperor Li Yunlong, but also the death anniversary of Tao Ying.
"In this place where the emperor's mausoleum is today, no idlers are allowed... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I see you, Your Majesty, long live long live."
"We see your majesty, long live long live."
"Go back and rest, I want to wander around by myself."
"As ordered, we will retire first."
After a group of soldiers protecting the mausoleum retreated, Liu Mingzhi tightened his cloak, carried his baggage and food box and walked towards the mausoleum with ease, carrying his baggage and food box.
Looking at the Broken Dragon Stone in front of him, which separated him from Tao Ying's yin and yang, Liu Mingzhi put down his food box and baggage and stretched out his hand to clean up the weeds next to the Broken Dragon Stone.
After a while, Liu Mingzhi squatted down in front of the Broken Dragon Stone without any grace, and opened the food box and baggage with a chuckle.
"Tao Ying, my husband came to see you. I haven't seen you for more than a year. Are you okay there?
I don’t know if your tastes and vision have changed now, but what I have prepared for you are the clothes you liked to wear and the foods you loved to eat.
Whether you like it or not, that's all.
I originally wanted to bring you some cherry blossoms, but now is not the cherry blossom season, so I have to wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom again.
If it's delivered a little late, don't be angry!
But a woman as considerate as you will definitely not be angry, and I will probably worry about her husband in vain."
After placing four dishes, two pots of wine, and two pieces of clothing under the Broken Dragon Stone, Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine pot and leaned on the Broken Dragon Stone to pour himself a drink.
"Tao Ying, I haven't seen you for a year. Let me have a drink with my husband first."
Liu Mingzhi didn't care when he heard only the sound of the cold wind whistling around him. He poured himself a glass of wine and talked to himself, expressing his true feelings.
I don't know how long it took, but the bottle of wine was completely drunk. Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at the warm sun on the horizon and kept talking about something. It wasn't until dusk that he got up and left.
"Master, you are back."
"Liu Song, go and call Chengzhi to the study. I have something to tell him."
