Chapter 140: Do We Have To Be Like This?
As if he had deliberately waited for me to comprehend, he paused for a moment before he continued: "But the bearer will guard the remains of his master's body and protect the life of the person who holds the remains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAs long as Wei Yan knows that his own people will also train dragons, the Wei family will be more confident, and they will be careless. ā
Listening to this, I only felt that I really got to know Miaoyan and the Qi Mu behind her today. The weak and timid father figure who is terrified at the mention of the Wei family, will he play very hard?
Suddenly, a sharp knife-like doubt suddenly rushed to his brain: Since the Wei family played a big game of stealing the sky and exchanging the son of the world with their own blood, why did the second brother, as the real head of the Wei family, gamble his life to track down the handle of the Wei family?
Also, since the Wei family already has the second brother's winning bargaining chip, they only need to kill Qi Lingyan and me, who was the city lord at the time, and they can use the power to control half of the country to help the second brother ascend the throne, so that they don't need to spend a single soldier to seize power.
In this way, you can also get a good reputation of "removing the mediocre city lord". Take the entire dragon city...... No, it's the entire Wolong Valley, which is as easy as finding and fetching things, and it's easy to get at your fingertips.
However, not only did they work hard, even if they discredited Xiaofeng Dragon City, they also planned an armed rebellion and killed the second brother mercilessly, why?
Moreover, that day, Wei Yan in the Fuliu Pavilion decided that Wei Jingyuan was his only son, and he didn't seem to know that the second brother was his son?
Could it be that the second brother was also brainwashed by Qi Mu to believe that he was a child of the Qi family, so he did not hesitate to fight with the Wei family with his life, and the Wei family saw that he was unable to return to the sky, so he did not hesitate to break his arm to protect himself?
Thinking about it like this, it seems that such an ending is indeed very much in line with Qi Mu's wishes. Although it makes sense, I always feel that something is wrong, and I can't think of what it is for a while, so I simply forget about it.
Little lady, I'm not the city lord anymore, what are you worried about? It's just that I pity the second brother...... Oh, am I not also suffering from the same sickness as him who died?
I picked up the dragon horn comb that Miao Yan put on the dresser, and suddenly remembered the day my second brother was buried.
Flipping the comb between my fingers, I lowered my eyes and said, "Wonderful words, the person who gave you the silk silk to guide me to the Willow Pavilion that day was also Qi Mu?"
I still remember that Wei Jingyuan said that Fan Yi couldn't find me, and asked the secret guard who was driven back by me to know that I was in the Willow Pavilion. In this way, the silk silk would not have been given to me by the two of them.
"Your Highness, it's the Lord of Qi City. "The good words were a little displeased.
I nodded knowingly: "Okay, it's the Qi City Lord." You know, I was the city lord at that time, and if I knew that Jing Niang was my mother, wouldn't it be bad for the Qi family to forcibly suppress this case?"
"Your Highness, you shouldn't have thought so. She picked up the red plum-shaped flower and pressed it lightly on my forehead, "At the beginning, the city lord did that, but he just wanted to see your choice, Your Highness, you are a smart person, and you continue to investigate the case with the people in mind, which is why you can live to this day." Your Highness, you have to thank the city lord for his magnanimity. ā
The dragon horn comb in my hand fell on the dressing table, it turned out that I had already walked around the gates of hell before I knew it?
"These ......" I hesitated, forced my pounding heart, and asked cautiously: "Wei Jingyuan, how much do you know?" After that, I licked my lips nervously, and the tip of my tongue rolled over the clotted fat on my lips, and the inexplicable weird taste drilled into my mouth, and finally turned into a bitterness that could not be dissipated for a long time.
I heard the sound of a witty smile, so piercing. She said: "Of course, the successor city lord knows everything, otherwise, how can he work with the city lord to pull out the cancer of the Wei family?"
I didn't speak again, took a deep breath, and froze.
Miaoyan took me to a place called "Jinge", which was specially allocated by Qi Mu to rebuild a palace in an annex in the inner palace.
On the way, I asked Jing Niang's whereabouts. Miao Yan said with a look of resentment that she was put on death row, and in a few days she would be executed together with those criminals of the Wei family. After listening, I didn't speak again, I hated Jing Niang, but because she really wanted to help me escape that day, I didn't hate it completely.
However, I can't love her either. After all, she has also used me for so many years, and she is still the real culprit behind the murder of my family, and those half-truths and half-truths of mother-daughter relationship are not worth human life.
Stepping into the courtyard, the eyes are full of flowers, butterflies and bees flying, which is very suitable for the name "Jingge".
I stood in the courtyard and stared quietly at a flourishing pear blossom in the corner, and in a trance I realized that there was no one I could trust in this palace. My father is not my father, my mother is not my mother, my second brother who treated me well and my brother who tried his best to protect me all died, and the person I loved became the successor city lord......
As long as I think of Wei Jingyuan's actions and support that once moved me to a mess, just to cooperate with Qi Mu to achieve their internal and external attack to divide the Wei family and seize power, and my second brother and I are just tools they use as guns, my heart will plummet to the bottom.
There were petals falling in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help but raise my hand to catch them. Staring at it for a moment, I curled the corners of my lips self-deprecatingly. Suddenly, I felt a beam of eyes sweeping over me, and when I turned my head, I saw Wei Jingyuan standing at the gate of the courtyard.
He was dressed in a dark gold dress, embroidered with white lines like fire clouds on the corners and wide sleeves, and his long body was jade, and he was extravagant.
I looked at him stunned, the petals in my hands being blown off by the wind. My heart was beating faster, and I didn't know what to do, but the only thing I knew was that I didn't want to see him!
Taking a step back, I turned and fled.
"Qi Lingyu!" I ran very fast, and when I heard his shout, I was even more fascinated and ran away. When I walked through the back door of the courtyard, I lost one of my shoes. Wei Jingyuan followed behind, shouting my former name incessantly.
Suddenly, he leaped and blocked my path!
He looked at me eagerly: "I'm not a flood beast, what are you running around?"
I panted against the wall, and it was just him and I on the road. He reached out to help me, and I was startled and immediately retreated as if I had been scalded by boiling water. He was stunned and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.
"The people's daughter Lu Qian, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. I finally gathered my breath and lowered my eyes to him.
Wei Jing was far from making a sound, but his heavy breathing was full of anger, and even the air around him was cold. After a long time, he seemed to have finally suppressed his anger, and said in a clear voice: "Qi Lingyu, do we have to be like this?"
