"I'll smoke, I'll smoke, don't move that box!" The stone raised his hands and opened his bow left and right, crackling and slapping himself mercilessly.

This pain is nothing, as long as Nong Tie Shuken returns the box to him, he can do anything.

The whistling wind watched the show curiously, and the company of the slap added a rare pleasure to their lonely journey.

After more than thirty strokes, Nong Tieshu's anger gradually subsided: "Okay, spare you." ”

The stone lowered his hands, and his hot face was soothed by the cold wind.

"Grandma, I really don't know what Shennong's whip is? You say it and I listen to it. Stone continued to pretend to be stupid, and his aching face gave him a little innocent capital.

How could Nong Tieshu, who was in the middle of the rivers and lakes, be teased by this ridiculous trick? She thought to herself, "If you want to play, then I'll play with you." ”

"A whip that detoxifies."

"Whip?"

"How do you know it's with me?"

"You can solve the poison that Shennong Palace can't solve, except that you have Shennong Whip, how can you do it?"

If it really detoxified Nong Qingyun, the stone regretted it. He touched the Shennong whip on his waist and hesitated.

"Nothing to say, right? I really didn't expect you to be such a despicable villain, and I owe it to me to treat you as a friend. ”

"Am I despicable? Nong Qingyun is insidious and vicious, I still saved him, and you actually say that I am despicable? ”

"I repeat, my dad never did anything unjust. And you, but you stole the Shennong whip of our Shennong Palace! Do you know how many vendettas this will cause and how many people will die because of it? ”

Nong Tie Shu is righteous and righteous.

Shi stared at the box in Nong Tieshu's hand, and the eyes of Queen Ma when she parted and Mrs. Li carefully collected the box appeared in front of him.

If this box was really something that Queen Ma gave to her mother, then even ten Shennong whips would not be able to compare to that thing, and the stone no longer hesitated.

"Okay, I'll give it to you!" He untied the Shennong whip from his waist.

"What are you doing?" Nong Tieshu hurriedly turned his head, blushing to the base of his neck.

Ignoring the stone, he raised the Shennong whip and threw it at Nong Tieshu.

"Here you go! Give me my mother's box! ”

Nong Tieshu thought that the stone was teasing her. She had never seen a Shennong whip, and she had no idea that the belt untied by the stone was the Shennong whip she had always dreamed of.

Angry, she opened the box and pulled out a piece of paper inside. With a palm strike, the paper was smashed in half.

Nong Tieshu still didn't feel relieved, threw the box on the ground again, and stepped on it.

"Click", and the box instantly became a few pieces of wood that fell apart.

"Don't!" The stone rushed forward, reaching for the pieces of paper flying around.

Nong Tieshu laughed, and the embarrassed appearance of the stone more or less alleviated the unwillingness and anger in her heart.

"You found it yourself!" After a few words, she disappeared into the never-ending darkness with the wind.

Stone hands flutter in the air, like a drowning man in the sea stubbornly fighting the water.

The lucky pieces of paper were thrilled back into the hands of their masters, and even though they had changed beyond recognition, what could they complain about compared to their unfortunate brothers, who would eventually call the world home?

The stone crouched on the ground with its head bowed and spliced the pieces of paper together, missing three or four pieces.

He looked around, groping in the darkness, hoping to find the missing pieces.

But as far as the eye could see, there was darkness except for the green bricks on the road.

He had no choice but to put the fragments in his pocket, picked up the broken box and the Shennong whip that Nong Tieshu hadn't even looked at, and returned to the mansion dejectedly.

The night has not yet meant to leave, and the darkness is still the lord of the earth.

The Li Mansion was quiet, as if Nong Tieshu had not come, and none of this had happened.

Back in the room, Stone reached into his pocket, and it was then that he noticed that his fingers were stiff and unresponsive.

He laboriously pulled out the fragments from his pocket, looked at the broken box, and felt uneasy.

If this is given to her by the queen mother, it must be very important, and it may be related to the lives of everyone in our Li family. Now that there are only a few fragments left, what should I do? Do you want to tell your mother about this? Do you want to put the box back?

The two words on one of the shredded pieces of paper shone like brilliant gems, and the stone froze.

He didn't rejoice, and the foreboding that he had when he met Queen Ma for the last time became stronger and stronger.

He slowly brought the shredded paper to his eyes, and the danger seemed to be looming.

That's right! On the shredded paper are those two words "stone"!

Nong Tieshu's words rang in his ears like an alarm: "This is your thing!" ”

What does this edict have to do with me? What does the queen want to explain to her mother is my business?

The stone frantically spliced several pieces of paper together.

In the candlelight, his gaze finally focused on the mutilated words.

The light of dawn penetrated the room, and the candle burned its last tear, completing its glorious mission.

Stone sat in the half-lit room, holding in his hand the pieces that had survived the previous night's strong winds.

The meaning they form together, although it is not very clear because of the mutilation, is enough for the stone to be heart-pounding, enough to lose the soul.

"The Li family adopted, let go of the stone, Concubine Yan's child."

The words didn't tie together into a complete sentence and didn't directly tell him what Queen Ma wanted to say, but they sparked Stone's terrifying imagination.

He was adopted by the Li family? Why let him go? Who will be against him? Is he the child of Concubine Sui? So who is Concubine Yi? Is it the emperor's concubine? If Concubine Yan's child refers to him, then isn't he the prince?

He remembered the few times he had met Queen Ma.

He always felt that the way Queen Ma looked at him was very similar to the way Mrs. Li looked at him, but she had a lot of pity.

Queen Ma often wants to speak and stops, as if trying her best to suppress the confession of her true feelings.

Oh my God, how did all this happen? What did Nong Tieshu bring him? Why did the world change overnight?

The stone knocked on his head, did he choose to hide in the already broken eggshell, or did he bravely come out?

The sun had fully risen above the horizon, and his room was bright.

He got out of bed and walked out the door, crumbling wooden box in his hand.

Mrs. Li knelt in front of the statue in the Buddha hall, twisted the Buddha beads, and closed her eyes to chant sutras.

For the suffering she has experienced, this is the only thing she can do. She also believed that the gods ruled over everything, and that they could see her piety and would resolve her sufferings for her.

"Mother." The stone beckoned softly by the door. Mrs. Lee didn't look back.

The stone sat on the threshold and waited quietly for Mrs. Li.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Li opened her eyes and stood up: "Stone, why did you get up so early today?" Can I help you? ”

"Mother." The stone walked into the Buddha hall. Mrs. Lee's eyes rested on the half of the wooden box in his arms.

"How is this in your hands? How did it become like this? Mrs. Li rushed forward and fished out the scraps of paper from the box.

"Yi Zhi, how did the Empress Yi's Yi Zhi become fragments?" She panicked, as if she had lost the most important thing in her life.

"Someone came to steal the box last night, she ...... Beat it to the punch. ”

"Someone stealing? Then you're not hurt, are you? Mrs. Li lifted the stone's arm and looked back and forth.

"Mother, I'm fine, don't you think I'm standing here? Mother! The stone grabbed Mrs. Li's hand tightly, and he couldn't believe that Mrs. Li, who would feel distressed even if he lost a single strand of hair, was not his biological mother.

"Am I your own?" Stone blurted out desperately.

Mrs. Li stared at the stone in a daze, and her hand holding the shredded paper trembled.

She turned away, her back to the stone, gathering her thoughts, she didn't want to make the wrong decision in her panic.

"Stones, you know them all?" Mrs. Li turned around and made a choice about the thousands of assumptions she had had.

"I don't know exactly, please tell me one by one." The stone looked at Mrs. Li firmly.

He didn't dare to breathe, as if as soon as he exhaled, the strength he used to support himself would be completely discharged.

"You promised me not to take revenge, this is also the queen's entrustment. If you don't say yes, I can't tell you the truth of the matter. Mrs. Li's gaze was solemn and serious.

The stone felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff, the wind blowing over his face.

The eerie chill at the bottom of the cliff attacked him defiantly, and they wanted to lead him into the abyss from which he would never recover.

The stone closed its eyes, tears rolling down its face.

That force did not leave him, and supported him in his bones: "Okay, I promise you!" ”

Mrs. Li put the shredded paper that had always been in the palm of her hand into the box, walked to the side of the desk, turned her back to the stone, and said slowly: "I am not your mother-in-law. ”

Her voice was so slow that it seemed as if time had stood still.

"Your dad isn't your own dad either."

Even though the stone no longer expected to survive the cliff, he felt five thunderbolts hit the top and his whole body went limp.

From the mouth of a person who has been called his mother for more than 20 years, he said that she was not his own mother, and the stone heard the sound of his heart dripping blood.

"Your own mother is the Qi family." Mrs. Li's hands clutched the edge of the desk.

"When the emperor was the king of Wu, the Qi family married the emperor and gave birth to you."

The "emperor" in Mrs. Li's mouth immediately appeared in front of the stone's eyes, and his cruel and ruthless refusal to save the people of Honest Valley appeared in his cold face.

He turned out to be his son? How could he have such a father? It is not at all surprising that such a person abandons himself!

What kind of person is her mother-in-law? Why did she abandon herself?

Anger and hatred, pain and sorrow mingled, stones clenched their fists, teeth chattering.

"When you were more than a year old, Queen Ma secretly sent guards to put you in our house and let us adopt you, saying that the palace could not accommodate you, and you would only be safe in the Li Mansion."

Mrs. Li turned around, her haggard and loving eyes full of worry.

"Stone, we won't tell you about your background for the rest of our lives. On that day, Queen Ma summoned us to the palace, and she handed me a last word she had prepared before she died. She is afraid that if your identity is revealed, no one can protect you. I didn't expect you to know about this so early, it's all providence! ”

The stone slammed into the wall, blood seeping into the mottled texture.
