In addition to needing Qi Wei to block the Yingguo envoy and others who fled south, he also wanted him to pay attention to the movements of Bagan and Almu. If he sees these two people, he will kill them without mercy!

Lin Yutong laughed: "Sure enough, just as I thought, he rushed back and missed it." After saying that, he looked at Qi Wei, "He has a very scheming mother."

Qi Wei closed his eyes: "...I know what His Highness wants to ask. You want to ask, what is the relationship between Yun Ji and me?"

Lin Yutong sighed: "Things in the past... are all the private matters of the elders, and we shouldn't ask about them originally. But if you don't ask about it, and leave it in your heart, and in my heart, it will be a knot. Instead of that,

So, why not say it?"

Qi Wei was a little disappointed: "The beginning of something... is a ridiculous story..."

Tall story?

Then listen to this absurd story.

Lin Yutong sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and asked Qi Wei to sit down as well. Don't be in a hurry, there is plenty of time, let's talk slowly.

If we really talk about it, it would have been a long time ago.

We have to start from when Emperor Xuanping, Lin Chengyun and Qi Wei were still teenagers.

That year, an old man in the Hua family passed away, so they invited Taoist Master Xuanji, who was quite famous in the capital at that time, to go to the ancestral tomb to see the auspicious site. In fact, the big family naturally knew Feng Shui when choosing the location of this ancestral tomb. And that place

In the year, why did you specially invite Taoist Master Xuanji? What a coincidence, at the beginning of that year, a slight earth dragon turned over, and unexpectedly, a small gap appeared in the mountain directly opposite the Hua family's ancestral grave. A mountain spring was like a sword.

Rushed down from the mountain, facing the direction of the ancestral tomb. The Chinese family members were murmuring in their hearts, will this have any impact on the feng shui of the ancestral tomb? Will it affect the family's luck?

Only then did he invite Taoist Master Xuanji.

As a result, when the Taoist priest saw it, he was immediately startled and almost blurted out: "The Hua family is amazing, they are going to give birth to a mistress who will be a mother to the world!"

When these words were said, only members of the Hua family were present.

Since then, the girls of the Hua family have become more noble. They are favored by thousands of people in the family. The sons still have to take a step back. The family has specially hired teachers for the girls. They play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and poetry and songs. I heard that they are also

Specially invited musicians and dancers from the music studio to teach.

Qi Wei shook his head: "My mother is the aunt of the Hua family. I overheard these things when my mother came back to complain. In my mother's opinion, I don't want to ask the sons of the family to study and practice martial arts to make progress in order to glorify the family name.

, I just want to rely on my daughter’s family to compete in the harem...the Hua family will not last long.”

Lin Yutong nodded. Qi Wei was able to live like this despite all kinds of dangers. It must be that his mother had a very positive influence.

Unfortunately, the Hua family didn't think so.

The Hua family put a lot of effort into cultivating the girls in the clan, not only the girls from the direct descendants, but also the girls from poor clan families.

These things were secrets that only a few people in the Hua family knew back then.

"My mother is one of the insiders." Qi Wei looked a little sad, "Because of my unintentional ear, I also became an insider. My mother didn't know that I eavesdropped, and she didn't even know... I

This matter was treated as a joke and told to the Holy One... At that time, the Holy One was not the Holy One... just the most ordinary prince..."

"Later, I came to Liangzhou and stayed there for several years. I was not in a hurry to get married. As a man, there is not much difference between marrying early and marrying later. But my mother was eager to get married for me. Even if I couldn't go back, she would use a rooster to worship her.

I also want to marry someone back... Actually, this was all requested by my eldest aunt. My eldest aunt has no sons and only has two daughters. Because of the Taoist priest's words, the Hua family's daughters have not been married for a long time.

My eldest cousin had even delayed past her prime, and was already twenty years old at that time. At this age, others were not in a hurry, but my eldest aunt was. So she came to my mother to beg her. Even if she couldn't consummate the marriage, she still couldn't.

Okay, you have to get married first. At least you have a destination for life. My mother wrote to me about this in a letter at the time...I agreed. In my opinion, my eldest cousin is just a pitiful person."

"Unfortunately, not everything goes as expected. My aunt is doing it for the good of her daughter, and my mother is doing it for the good of her niece and her son. I feel that at least such a daughter-in-law knows everything. I think it is good too, both

I can help my cousin and get a wife to serve my mother and keep her company. This is a great thing. But none of us have asked my eldest cousin what she wants."

"She may be willing to get married. However, she is not willing to remain a widow. After getting married, she was depressed... My mother felt sorry for her and asked her if she wanted to go back to her parents' house to live for a while. This was true, but it was not a bad idea to go back.

.She said she wanted to live in another hospital, and she could often bring her sisters to her home to keep her company. My mother agreed."

"So, she moved out and lived in another courtyard. The person she often brought into the other courtyard to keep company was her second cousin, who was also sixteen years old at the time. The eldest cousin took her second cousin out and kissed her.

The sisters kept me company, and the family left it alone. Unexpectedly, my eldest cousin was so bold that she went out alone and came to Liangzhou to find me. I asked my second cousin to stay in another courtyard to take care of the family on her behalf. Where is my second cousin...

...But he is also a man of skill and courage. Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, ministers like me must be given preferential treatment. The queen sent people to send food to other courtyards, so my second cousin bribed

Father-in-law in the palace."

Lin Yutong understood what was going on here.

Even though they may be sent by the Queen, they have just ascended the throne after all. It is not clear who the masters behind these people in the palace are. Therefore, it is not unusual for someone to bribe them.

Qi Wei saw that his grandson was easy to understand, so he said: "I bribed the father-in-law in the palace... to deliver a message to the emperor, but as for what message was delivered in the middle, he asked the emperor to come to the other courtyard in person. This... minister has not been here before."

No way to guess..."

"It's not that you can't guess, but you don't dare to guess." To have the leader of a country arrive upon hearing a message is definitely not a matter of love between sons and daughters.

Qi Wei smiled miserably: "What Your Highness said is true. I am ashamed! I just don't dare to think that a woman would dare to do anything and say anything in order to climb up. For a long time, I couldn't think of it."

I understand, it wasn't until my mother hanged herself that I understood something. My mother's death was not a pain for the Hua family and being executed... but for me... The women of the Hua family will be the mother of the world... The queen is the mother of the world,

The Queen Mother is also the mother of the world... My mother's surname is Hua... If a woman from the Hua family becomes the Queen Mother, she will also be the mother of the world... Doesn't this mean that her son will be the emperor... Doesn't it mean that I, Qi Wei, must be the emperor?

She would not have thought of this just because she wanted to support her own troops and rebel. Someone must have hinted something, which made her go to a dead end! So... at the beginning, my second cousin bribed the father-in-law in the palace and uploaded it to the emperor.

It is not difficult to guess the content of the letter. She must have said something like knowing that I had the intention to rebel. Otherwise, the emperor is not crazy, how could he secretly leave the palace in the middle of the night and visit the courtier's courtyard. Or in the courtier's house.

See his wife when he’s not at home.”

"This second cousin of yours?" Lin Yutong guessed, "Is she Yun Ji?"

Qi Wei nodded: "It's her!"

"Then how did she escape?" Lin Yutong wondered, "She was pregnant at the time. Whose child is it?"

"Whose child belongs to..." Qi Wei shook his head, "I didn't know at the time. She didn't look good at the time. I don't know if it was because of my sudden return that she was frightened or something... At that time, I didn't know

That's the second cousin... I left the capital early and have been in Liangzhou. Even if I have seen each other, it was only when I was a child. They are sisters who look alike. The older one is a little girl who is still changing her teeth, and the older one is a young woman with a big belly.

There was a huge gap between them... I naturally regarded her as my eldest cousin. She changed her face at first, and then said, don't ask who the child is, she didn't dare to tell the man... she just hid in the house to live and die.

She didn't come out either... I interrogated her maids and found out that the emperor had been here. I took the badge that the emperor had given me earlier and secretly entered the palace to see the emperor... and asked the emperor why he treated me like this.

?The emperor saw that I was wearing armor and holding a sharp weapon in my hand, and said... No wonder others are criticizing your behavior... Sure enough, you don't know what your duty is, and you become domineering... I was very angry at the time... He is the king

, is the master, is also my brother, my friend... I worked hard in Liangzhou, but he... So I threw up my sleeves and left... The king and his ministers parted on bad terms... We all had knots in our hearts, and no one could say anything.

To put it more clearly... So, so far, it is all a confusing account... Later, the emperor probably found out why, Long Yan was furious, and everyone in the Hua family was convicted... I thought I was angry, and then some resented me.

Mother... back then, if she hadn't promised my aunt, how could what happened later... People are so unreasonable when they are angry. It was clear that when my mother asked me for my opinion, I agreed... I locked myself in

No one was seen in the study. When the news was received, the Hua family had been raided and executed... and my mother had also hanged herself... Your Highness, do you think that at that time, I will still investigate the truth of the matter?

?Even if we are aware of the problems involved, neither the emperor nor I... can let go of the grudge in our hearts. After all, my mother died because of this. I have stayed filial piety for my mother for twenty-seven months..."

Lin Yutong suddenly interrupted him: "I heard that General Qi married a wife out of filial piety. She is the daughter of a small family. I didn't know that Mrs. Qi was..."

Qi Wei looked at Lin Yutong in astonishment, then knelt down with a bang: "I am guilty!"

Lin Yutong laughed: "If I guess correctly, the current Mrs. Qi is the eldest daughter of the Hua family who married into the family back then. He went to find you, but they missed each other. When she came back again, something had happened to the Hua family...

Back then, when you left the capital and were stationed in Liangzhou again, the emperor intended to ease the relationship with you and even allowed you to bring your relatives with you... However, the daughter of the Hua family was your wife, and you continued the original engagement out of guilt for your mother... But this

There is still a hidden danger. Back then, your relatives were captured by Bilan. I think your wife must have played an immeasurable role in it..."

Qi Wei burst into tears instantly: "Old minister... is guilty!"

"How did Yunji escape?" Lin Yutong did not call Qi Wei, "And that child? Where did it go? How did Yunji escape to Beikang? Is Concubine Hua in the palace related to the Hua family?

"

Qi Wei shook his head: "I really don't know. There is a secret in my family that cannot be discovered. How could I take the initiative to find someone from the Hua family?"

This is true!

In the inn, she heard the waiter talk about Qi Wei, saying that he was an honest man who never accepted gifts without any disguise. The female family members in the back house were also very strict. She couldn't even try to send gifts through the female family members. Because Mrs. Qi never went out to be a guest, so she couldn't do it.

He never invites his female relatives to his home. He also said that the situation has improved in the past two years, and the young ladies of the Qi family can still come out to hang out, but no one has seen Mrs. Qi.

She felt strange at the time.

Qi Wei is not supposed to be a rigid person, so why is he so strict with his wife?

When I asked the waiter again, the waiter hummed and said that everyone was saying that General Qi didn't show his wife because she was from a low background, didn't know etiquette, and was afraid of embarrassment.

She thought that was the case for a time.

Until Qi Wei only said that the eldest cousin went out to look for him secretly. After that, she didn't mention a word, and she understood. It wasn't that he didn't dare to ask her to come out to see people for fear of embarrassment, but that this person was simply not visible to anyone.

Yes, his second cousin is the culprit. Such a person suddenly appears and contacts the Qi family. Qi Wei would be polite if he doesn't cut her into pieces. The Qi family must know that there is such a person, and their relatives are

How could it be possible to trust her so easily and fall into her trap?

It would be different if this lady from the Qi family was Yun Ji's biological sister.

She was afraid that she would still feel that all the responsibilities lay with her. If she had not been determined to find a husband and found a younger sister to take his place in another house, nothing would have happened later.

So, the rest fell into place.

Lin Yutong also understood what Yin Chengzhi said before: the rift between the emperor and Qi Wei was not about the so-called Hua family.

It's not a cuckold incident. In fact, even if something happened to the emperor and his second cousin back then, it was still his wife and sister. He couldn't be blamed for the cuckoldry.

It was Yin Chengzhi who said that the source of the conflict between the two people was the death of Qi Wei's mother due to an unexpected mistake. In Lin Yutong's view, this statement is also inappropriate.
