Chapter 468: Qi Yuan's Body
() Yin Qingqi never thought that one day, the two would be separated by yin and yang.
The entire Yanzhou was flooded with heavy snow, and the entire capital seemed to be mourning the death of the crown prince.
The emperor ordered that the whole country mourn the prince, and within seven days, the world's brothels and teahouses are not allowed to solicit customers, so as to comfort the prince's soul in the sky.
Xue Tan stayed in Yanzhou, temporarily accompanying Yin Qingqi, Ding Yufu returned to Beijing disappointed, but Yin Qingqi now doesn't care about these children's affairs, just sitting silently at the old site of Denghongyuan, where there are still Qi Yuan's relics.
"Qingqi." Xue Tan sat quietly beside Yin Qingqi, his face was desolate, and there was a worried look on his face.
"I have already sent a message to the emperor and named you the general of Southern Xinjiang, and it won't be long before you can fulfill my father's last wish." Just like Xue Tan's father, Yin Qingqi still chose to stay in Yanzhou and guard the border pass.
"Maybe your father is right, and he doesn't know why he chose to stay here." Yin Qingqi smiled bitterly, originally she thought that Father Xue's approach was escaping reality, but now she found out that all this is a predestined thing that cannot be changed, and Father Xue's approach is precisely the most helpless move.
"After my father died, my grandfather ordered someone to bring the body back, but my father's last wish was to stay here forever." Xue Tan sighed, Xue Tan's body was buried on that mountain, where Xue Tan took Yin Qingqi for the first time.
"Right on that hillside, remember? My father's body was buried there, and my father said that since we can't be together in life, we can also die in a place where we can see the capital from afar. Xue Tan smiled, and the sorrow on his face blended with Yin Qingqi.
He knew that he would never be able to replace Qi Yuan's position, and now that Qi Yuan was dead, it was more like a mustard in Yin Qingqi's heart, becoming a secret that she could never tell.
"Maybe the name Yin Qingqi is useless to me." Yin Qingqi let out a long sigh, his eyes full of pain.
"If I change my name to Xue Wen'er, perhaps, we will become brother and sister completely." Yin Qingqi smiled at Xue Tan, who stared at the obvious pain on her face tightly, and felt a burst of coldness in her heart.
He knew that he was unwilling, and he was unwilling to give up Yin Qingqi like this, but now there is no way, Qi Yuan is dead, Qi Yuan is complete
left a mark in Yin Qingqi's heart, and this is something that Xue Tan can never change.
Maybe being able to become a brother and sister is the best result.
Xue Tan smiled faintly and called Yin Qingqi's name: "Ask." ”
Yin Qingqi stared at him and didn't speak for a long time.
Changing his name is to deny his past life, maybe he should really start anew, in the name of Xue Wen'er, and start a new life!
"Xue Wen'er has nothing to do with the crown prince." Yin Qingqi breathed a long sigh of relief, her eyes were full of sadness, and although she tried her best to hide it, her slightly shrugged shoulders could not hide it.
"The prince is in the spirit of heaven, he will definitely understand." Xue Tan thought of Qi Yuan, who was desperate on the battlefield and rushed into the enemy's army, covered in blood, but always had to wait for reinforcements to rescue Yin Qingqi before he was willing to breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart ached faintly.
This lifelong enemy, after dying, actually gave himself a huge sense of loss, Xue Tan remembered what Dong Zhe said to himself when he was in Yangzhou.
He said: "Slaughtering the country is just for the sake of beauty." ”
Qi Yuan is the same, they are all willing to dare to pay the price of their lives for the people they love, and Xue Tan is also ashamed of this.
"Xue Tan, tell me, where did the prince's body go?" Yin Qingqi stared at Xue Tan's face solemnly, and slowly, the desolation under his eyes calmed down.
"The emperor said that the prince is a bad omen, since the prince succeeded to the throne, there have been frequent struggles in the palace, Yanzhou was almost lost, in front of the army, Qi Yuan still thought about the personal affairs of his children, and wanted to throw the prince's body into the abyss of no return, in order to vent the anger of the people." Xue Tan gritted his teeth and said with an embarrassed face.
"It's so ruthless, the emperor can't imagine that he would treat his two biological sons like this for the sake of his own enjoyment." Yin Qingqi sneered, she knew that the sixth elder brother had expected this kind of thing to happen, but she didn't expect the emperor to make such a decision.
"The prince, as the head of the East Palace, should have set an example, but now he is in trouble, and he will not whip the corpse for the sake of merit, so he will be taken to the thousand-year-old snow mountain, frozen and snowy, buried under the abyss, and will not be able to live forever."
Xue Tan recalled over and over again in his mind, the panicked expression of Gonggong Su when he announced the edict, Sixth Elder Brother
's death made him even more frightened, and now that the emperor treats Qi Yuan like this, it also shows that the palace will not be peaceful.
Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish, this is the proverb that the emperor has admired for thousands of years.
"Don't think about it, people are dead, and where they are buried, they are no longer fallen leaves and return to their roots." Xue Tan was relieved to Yin Qingqi, what he didn't expect was that Yin Qingqi didn't care about this matter, but she didn't even get to see Qi Yuan in the end, which always made him a little regretful.
"Are you going to be stationed in Yanzhou?" Xue Tan asked tentatively, he wasn't sure if he would be able to live with Yin Qingqi in the future.
"Qinghong hasn't told you yet, has he? I will go to Shuzhou with Qinghong. Yin Qingqi said lightly, as if she had long been accustomed to the life of displacement.
"A plague has just occurred in Shuzhou, but fortunately, General Chang Lei handled it properly, besides, Shuzhou was originally a place I was more familiar with, and there was my old enemy there." Yin Qingqi's eyes were cold, and she seemed to think of that woman again.
It was she who caused all this to happen, her hatred and disgust for Huo Jiuling had completely broken the bottom line in Yin Qingqi's heart, and now she only wanted to take revenge and trample the land of Nanzhao under her feet.
"Huo Jiuling?" Xue Tan nodded, if it weren't for the tricks of Huo Jiuling and the second master, I am afraid that he would not have the courage to enter the army and commit it again.
"The second master seems to be alive, act carefully in everything, and when we arrive in Shuzhou, we will contact us by letter." Xue Tan slowly closed his eyes, and he could hear Yin Qingqi's subtle and soothing breathing, flowing slowly in his ears, as if someone was whispering in his ear.
"Maybe we won't see each other again, but hopefully we'll be able to get back together." Xue Tan smiled, tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked at Yin Qingqi's face full of reluctance.
"I'll be back, until I'm done." Yin Qingqi smiled, looking at the man in front of him who had saved himself and was in danger, if it weren't for him, I was afraid that he would die in that sunny street.
But Yin Qingqi was not only grateful to Xue Tan, but also guilty.
She knew that all these things she had done were completely destroying Xue Tan's self-esteem and heart, but she really wouldn't fall in love with him, the relationship between the two was more like a survival of each other**, those vain throbbing were just the warmth that each other relied on to survive.
