The Queen Mother glared at her with a slightly subtle expression: "What do you want to say?"
"Don't you hate him if he treats you like this?" Huan Ci wrote lightly.
The Queen Mother lowered her head and chuckled: "Who do I still have the energy to hate now? Your disputes have nothing to do with me, an old woman."
"Really?" Huan Ci looked at her coldly and asked, "Don't you seem to be staying here forever and don't want to go back to Zong Zhengche?"
"If I could leave, I would have left long ago. There is no need to wait until now. Besides, he has no time to take care of himself now, so how can he take care of me."
Huan Ci smiled and said nothing. She had been locked up here for so long, but she was well-informed and even knew about Zong Zhengche's current situation.
There was a sudden soft knock on the door, and Li Qi's figure appeared in everyone's eyes. When he saw Huan Ci, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes: "What a rare guest, the princess will come here."
"Even if I come here every day, why don't I still tell Eunuch Li?" Huan Ci retorted. Just now, his words had already revealed the fact that he comes here often, and more than that, I'm afraid there are his spies here, maybe from the yard.
The maid, maybe the guard at the door.
She smiled brightly at Li Qi and asked, "Why did Eunuch Li come here today? Is he here to see your former master so that he can show his loyalty?"
Li Qi's smile froze on his face, his mouth moved for a moment but he couldn't say a word.
Huan Ci had achieved his goal. He turned back to look at the Queen Mother and said, "I am relieved to see that the Queen Mother is still well. I will go back first. You must take good care of her."
After saying that, she stood up and smiled brightly at Li Qi, regardless of their expressions, and walked out of the door in high spirits.
Outside the door, A Yaoguo was chatting animatedly with the maid, and he jumped over after seeing her. However, the maid was a little uneasy when she saw her, and quickly stopped the smile on her face.
After returning to the room, Huan Ci asked A Yao what he had said to the woman, but did not get any useful information. However, A Yao saw that the maid was very familiar with Li Qi, and nodded towards him when she saw him.
He was not as restrained as when he saw Huan Ci.
Zhao Jin told her that when she walked out, she saw Li Qi and the Queen Mother looking at each other, and Li Qi shook his head at the Queen Mother.
It seems that the two of them met here often. Huan Ci's lips curled up slightly, which was interesting. Li Qi's words were full of disgust for Zong Zhengxun, and he also disliked Zong Zhengche, but he alone
Zong Zhengyang's biological mother has a special affection, so is the hatred he expresses in his words and those words that encourage his father to take revenge really for his mother? I'm afraid not necessarily. Who knows how much selfishness he hides?
She just doesn't know if her father knows about this. She should find an opportunity to talk to her father.
Huan Ci was already a little sleepy, so he rubbed his eyes and ran to bed to take a nap.
When she woke up, her father was sitting in her room, sipping tea under A Yao's service.
"Dad, why are you here?" Huan Ci looked at his father sleepily.
Huan Ci quickly put down his tea cup and looked at her tenderly: "Girl, come here and talk to me."
"Dad, what happened?" Huan Ci asked curiously as his sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
"Have you gone to see the Queen Mother?"
"You knew it so quickly?" Huan Ci walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
Huan Yuan chuckled: "Don't ask someone to watch you, lest you run out again."
"Dad." Huan Ci hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.
Huan Yuan sighed and said seriously: "Why are you looking for the Queen Mother?"
"I discovered something weird." Huan Ci said hurriedly.
Huan Yuan looked around the room, dismissed A Yao who was waiting on the side, and then said softly: "Did you see the weirdness between her and Li Qi?"
"You know?" Huan Ci looked at his father in surprise.
"Hmph! It's hard to hide his thoughts from me. I think he has been drunk by the Queen Mother recently, and he always wants to trick me into rescuing Zong Zhengche. I think he is crazy to have such thoughts. Zong Zheng
Che's vision is too shallow and he can't compare to Zong Zhengryu. If I were really asked to choose one, I would definitely choose Zong Zhengryu."
"Dad." Huan Ci looked at his father intently.
She has actually thought about this issue. Zong Zhenglu is more suitable to be emperor than Zong Zhengche, and Fu Shen is willing to follow him, which shows that he is still very capable. Unfortunately, his light was overshadowed by Zong Zhengche in the past, and now
Coupled with his annoying father, Huan Ci really didn't pay much attention to him.
"If possible, my father would like to work with him. Unfortunately, I don't trust people from the royal family now, especially since he is Zong Zhengyuan's son." Huan Yuan sighed.
Huan Ci looked at his father's aging face and whispered: "Dad, no matter what you do, I will support you."
Huan Yuan looked at his daughter, and his voice became a little more choked up: "It's just a pain for you and Fu Shen, two children. We haven't gotten married for so many years, just because we delayed it until now."
He paused and then said, "Aci, are you already close to him?"
Almost choking on the tea he just drank, Huan Ci looked at his father with a blushing face and murmured: "Father, how do you know?"
"I was just testing, but you would have done it in just a few clicks." Huan Yuan took a sip of tea proudly, "You and he are both very young now, so these things are just reasonable. You don't have a mother, so these things
No one teaches you everything. Although my father is a man, his daughter always has to care. Now I feel a little regretful. I should find you a stepmother. But for so many years, I often dream of your mother, and I am ashamed of her.
, that made her suffer those humiliations."
Huan Ci put his hand on his father's shoulder and comforted him: "Aniang knows that you are doing it for the people. I think she will understand you."
"She will." Huan Yuan smiled, "She has always understood me and supported all the decisions I made. I really want to visit her grave in my lifetime, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to go there."
"Does grandma still have a grave?" Huan Ci was a little surprised.
"It was in a deserted countryside three miles outside the capital of the Yong Kingdom. It was a hole dug by the captured Rongjun himself. Later, when the Yong Kingdom sued for peace, he returned to the Rongguo, but your mother-in-law stayed there forever." Huan.
Yuan took a deep breath, with anger still in his eyes, "Actually, your mother-in-law is also half a Yong nationality, and your grandmother is a Yong nationality. It's a pity that those people went crazy and didn't even spare a poor person like her."
.”
My father seemed to hate the Yong people more than the people from the royal family. When he mentioned Zong Zhengche and the others, his father's expression was always indifferent, but when he mentioned the Yong people, he was filled with resentment. Growing up, my father and the Yong Kingdom were all big and small.
We have fought several battles, and the biggest one was the one last winter.
"Dad, since grandma is also from Yong, do you still hate them?" Huan Ci asked in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, she would ask such a question. Huan Yuan was stunned for a moment, his chest heaving violently: "I don't hate them, I only hate those beasts from the Yong Kingdom royal family. They are all so inhumane and deserve to die. They deserved to die last time.
You still dare to capture you. At that time, I really wanted to go directly to the imperial city of Yong Kingdom and kidnap their emperor back to Rongguo."
Huan Ci chuckled. His father was just joking. It was not that easy to do.
It was getting dark, and it was time for dinner soon. Huan Ci had not had dinner with his father for a long time, and now was a good opportunity for a heart-to-heart talk, so he left his father behind, and the two chatted until the end of the day.
Half a month later, Zong Zhengche was defeated and fled all the way to Yong State. His wife Su Wanling, father-in-law Su Xiang and their families were escorted back to Yingdu to await their fate.
Without Zong Zhengche, Zong Zhenglu will have the energy to deal with his father. Maybe the peace in Daizhou will end here.
When the two of them were sighing, Li Qi ran in despite the drizzle. When he saw Huan Yuan, he said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate, take action. Now that his soldiers are tired, it is a good time to take action.
If that doesn't work, we can unite with the Yong people to fight them."
"Shut up, I think you are blinded by lard." Huan Yuan became angry and glared at him displeased.
Li Qi narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "What on earth are you waiting for? Do you have to wait until Daizhou is conquered before taking action?"
"You are really fanciful. I only have 80,000 Jin troops in my hands, but Zong Zhenglu controls Rongguo's 200,000 troops. Are you going to let my brother die in vain? Moreover, even if I die with Zong Zhenglu's sword
Next, I will never ask the Yong people for help." Huan Yuan said loudly.
Li Qi's expression turned ugly, and he shouted: "How long are you going to stay like a coward?"
"Eunuch Li has never been on the battlefield, so how can he know the difficulties of fighting? If you could come up with enough money, my father would have recruited troops and fought all the way to Yingdu long ago without having to suffer from this idleness." Huan Ci couldn't help but stabbed.
Li Qi rolled his eyes at her: "If I had the money to recruit soldiers and horses, I would have gone there myself. Why wait until now?"
Seeing his father's livid face, Huan Ci sneered and said: "The Queen Mother has a lot of money. You can find a lot of money just by digging around in that room. You just want it from her, so why bother to come to my father? Or should I say
, the money in her house is not hers, I just don’t know where it was saved.”
Thinking of this, Huan Ci became even more angry. His father was worried about the situation every day, but this man used his father's money to make himself fat every day. Now he has the nerve to accuse his father.
These words really angered Li Qi. He angrily pouted at Huan Ci and said to Huan Yuan: "I really misjudged you. If you haven't avenged A Ran all these years, I should have seen that you are a
You are a weak person, but it is a pity that I put my hope in you, it is really ridiculous."
Aran was Huanci's mother's small character, which she had seen in calligraphy and paintings.
"Didn't Eunuch Li fail to take revenge? Isn't it because you regretted becoming an eunuch, so you blame my father?" Huan Ci became angrier as he spoke, and looked at him more and more disgustingly.
"A Ci, don't talk nonsense." Huan Yuan scolded. He raised his head and looked deeply at Li Qi, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, I have known your feelings for A Ran for so many years, but I don't want you to take advantage of it.
If you do something wrong with this intention, I don’t want you to use a deceased person as an excuse.”
