Chapter 60: The Wish to Die
The dragon face is directly painted with the appearance of a hideous devil inside, and a handful of hair is glued, and small words are written next to it: Think about your son, don't be afraid that he will continue to check the first head to split up!
"Why have these second brothers never mentioned it to me?" I felt a chill. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The second sister-in-law's tears flowed down again, and she looked sad and helpless: "Of course he won't mention this kind of thing to you, he has been completely enslaved by the idea of regaining the power of the Qi family." Either he locked himself in the study and sorted out the files, or he went around secretly visiting and arresting people. The slave family couldn't persuade him, so he had to come to beg you. ”
"Second sister-in-law, this may also be the family members or lackeys of those officials who were arrested and put in prison by my brother to deliberately scare you. I patted her on the shoulder in distraught, "He hasn't figured out anything else, it's fine." ”
"It's okay?" She glared at me with a pair of red almond eyes: "Qi Lingyu, he is your own brother! You sit in this palace, of course it's okay, do you know how many times Lingyu has been assassinated outside? Seventeen times! Those people saw that the assassination of him could no longer stop his determination to hit the mansion! Cheng Xuan and Liuli are still young, and there are more than 100 people in the mansion, Qi Lingyu, how can you bear to let your brother be a shield? You are the city lord! You have hundreds of officials who can be used as spears and shields, so my sister-in-law begs you with death...... Take back the oracle!"
By the end, she couldn't stop crying, and hugged me and began to cry. My thin shoulders trembled, and there was only one broken and messy word, begging me to take back the oracle.
I bit my lip tightly, thinking about these things that my second brother had hidden, and suddenly I couldn't breathe. After a long time, I pulled away my second sister-in-law, whose eyes were red and swollen: "Sister-in-law, don't cry yet." I'll figure out what you say. Won't ......"
"Then you promise your sister-in-law. She couldn't wait to interrupt me, staring at me like a knife with apricot eyes full of tears, "Take back the holy oracle and let Lingyu temporarily remove from his post and stay home to avoid the limelight." ”
"Sister-in-law," I pulled out a stiff smile helplessly, "although I am the lord of the city, my brother will not necessarily listen to me. After all, our brother and sister and the eldest sister who have married outside have all grown up since they were children in their father's ear to regain the power of the Qi family, and it is not easy to order the second brother to give up. ”
"Isn't it easy...... she smiled bitterly, her red and swollen eyes narrowed into a slit, "Power is so important? It is very important to fight for the head and blood, the family and the people? You are the lord of the city, he is his monarch, and he has no room to resist at all if you say it! It's just that you are selfish and don't want to lose the sword of Lingyu, let him stand in the most dangerous place and fight for you." Qi Lingyu, my sister-in-law originally thought that you were a simple and ignorant little girl, but I didn't expect you to be so corrupt!"
My heart suddenly ached as if it was being tightened: "Sister-in-law!"
She suddenly calmed down. Slowly, she raised her hand, and her wide sleeves slid open to reveal a snowy dagger: "Today I want you to say a word and take back the holy oracle." Otherwise, the slave family will stain this palace with blood, and replace the more than 100 lives and husbands behind him for a safe life......"
She put the dagger against her neck, and asked me with red and swollen eyes and hoarseness: "The slave family asked the city lord for the last time, would you like to take back the oracle!"
I took a step back, my clenched hands trembling, the dagger in her hand like a stab in my heart. Suddenly, I had trouble breathing.
Qi Lingyu is your husband, but he is also my brother, I have known him longer than you, and we have been connected by blood for more than ten years, why do you say this about me?!" Holding back the grievances in my heart, I yelled at her.
In her frustration, I put my knee on her stomach and snatched the dagger with my hand.
"Since I ascended the throne, has anyone listened to me seriously? Didn't you listen to me just now? Do you know from that that the second brother that he listened to me? The second brother is a man who stands up to the sky, and he has his own responsibilities and missions! Of course, I am the same. No one likes to put their family in danger by hanging by a thread. But the enemy has already moved, and if you don't stop it, no one will be able to live!"
"......" She slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the ground with her red and swollen apricot eyes.
I threw my hand up, and the dagger flew out and landed on the door frame. Miao Yan happened to step in, saw the dagger, and was so frightened that the plate of eggs he was holding shook off several times. I picked up the eggs that were rolling at my feet, peeled off the shells little by little, and then lifted my second sister-in-law's face to prepare to give her a warm compress.
"Don't you fake your kindness!" she suddenly reacted, slapped the egg in my hand and got up and ran out tremblingly.
"City Lord. Miao Yan put down the plate and ran over, I looked at the back of my red hand and smiled: "It's okay, you call the twin brothers at the door." I took a deep breath and held back the tears that seemed to be pouring out.
"City Lord, what do you command?"
I glanced at the two of them lightly: "Prepare a gift, go to the minister's mansion." ”
The autumn sun is getting late, and people in the market are going home in groups after a busy day, and some elderly people are still chatting and playing chess under the trees. I lifted the curtain and quietly watched the peace and tranquility of Dragon City.
The recent rebellion has become the talk of the people after dinner, and people can still hear it from time to time.
The Minister's Mansion and the Monarch's Palace are not too far apart, and the carriage has already arrived at the gate of the mansion before it gets dark. The guards took the sign handed over by Fan Ren, and one of them hurriedly ran to pass the message, while the other respectfully welcomed us in.
I didn't bother to look at the scenery I hadn't seen for a long time, so I rushed straight to the backyard, but fortunately, although I hadn't been here for nearly ten years, I still vaguely remembered where Wei Fox's room was.
When I met Wei Jingyuan, he was rushing in the direction of the living room, and his green clothes like green bamboo hunted past. The traces left by the bee venom on the face also disappeared cleanly, the green silk was half a bundle, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows were all familiar to me.
Seeing me suddenly appear, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes swept over Fan Yi, who was carrying a big box behind me, and then saluted me: "I don't know that the city lord is suddenly coming, it's rude, please come here." ”
"No need, I have something urgent, I'll leave when I'm done. I looked at his handsome face, and I was very anxious.
Wei Jingyuan's seriousness only remained for a moment, and after listening to my words, the corners of his mouth hooked: "Qi Lingyu, what kind of moth have you provoked?"
"Uh, Wei Qing, I didn't mess with the moth. "I'm a little embarrassed that my mind has been exposed, but I still don't admit it.
