Chapter 261: Stubborn

The back hall is clean, there are no drunken prostitutes, and the musician who comes to play is also a male musician in his fifties. Li You likes luxury, and he has more than 60 dishes made for the banquet of three people, and a specially lengthened table is placed in front of each person, and two eunuchs are sent to serve each person. If you want to eat a dish, you have to use your hands to point, and then the eunuch will put the dish in a bowl, quite a bit of the Manchu emperor's style of eating.

Originally, Qin Mubai didn't like this tone very much, but when he thought that he was Princess Gaoyang's own brother, and he came only once, it was just that.

"Mu Bai, these are all famous dishes from the palace or Chang'an, what do you think?" Li You asked with a smile.

"Nice, very rich. It's just too much, and it's too much to eat. Qin Mubai said.

"Oh, that's not right for you to say that." Li You smiled, "This is not called waste, this is called generosity." Heaven treats everyone fairly, and since his old man has given me such royal wealth, it would be a real waste if I didn't use it. ”

Qin Mubai smiled: "His Royal Highness King Qi can think about it. ”

"It's not that you can think about it, but it's a good way to send it back, and when you see through it, your heart is cold." Li You shook his head and pouted. That expression is somewhat similar to Princess Gaoyang.

It is precisely because he has some shadows of his sibling sister that Qin Mubai can still tolerate the unscrupulous King Qi in front of him. Seeing his bitter and sad look, Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, if you say that, I won't understand it." Your dignified Tiangong noble dragon son royal family, why is it cold-hearted? ”

Li You smiled coldly, waved his hand, and those eunuchs and musicians all withdrew. Only then did he say, "Mu Bai, you may not know. The most bitter person in the world, that is me. ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Qin Mubai asked.

"The reason is actually very simple, because I am a sinister seed!" Li You gritted his teeth and burst out these words from between his teeth. With that, he picked up the wine glass with his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and drank the full glass of wine to his neck.

Qin Mubai couldn't help frowning: "Your Highness, you can't talk nonsense about such things. ”

"Mu Bai, are you an outsider?" Li Youzuo glared at him in annoyance, "Aren't you sincere to my sister?" ”

"I can't say that." Qin Mubai said indifferently, "My heart for Ling'er can be learned by the emperor. ”

"That's it." Li You said, "I only trust two people in this world. One is my uncle, and the other is my sister-in-law. You are my sister's favorite man, and sooner or later you will be his husband. I don't want my brother-in-law to treat me like an outsider. ”

"Naturally not." Qin Mubai was very calm, picked up the wine glass, took a shallow sip, and said, "Your Highness, what do you want to say, then say it." I, Qin Mubai, have no other advantages, these mouths have always been extremely tight. ”

"It is precisely because I know that you are a true gentleman and a good man who can be trusted, that I can trust my sister to you with confidence." Li You said, "Otherwise, even if my father and the concubine agreed, I, as an elder brother, would definitely not agree." ”

"yes, I know." Qin Mubai knew that he had the following, but he just answered indifferently and listened to what he wanted to say.

At this time, Yin Hongzhi, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to go around the bend, if you have anything to say, just tell Mu Bai directly!" You are all wise people, and naturally you understand it in your hearts. ”

"Okay." Li You nodded and said, "Mu Bai, my maternal uncle's family, that is, the blood feud between the Yin family and the royal Li family, you know, right?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." Qin Mubai nodded, thinking: I knew you were going to get involved with this.

"Actually, it's not that I'm obsessed. I have my father's blood in my body, and I shouldn't have bothered with the grievances between my grandfather and my father. Li You said, "But I think so, others don't think so." ”

Qin Mubai furrowed his brows slightly: "Who do you mean by 'others'?" ”

Li You was stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a while. Yin Hongzhi hurriedly took over and said: "Your Highness is naturally not referring to His Majesty the Emperor, but some slanderous ministers around His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "Does it specifically refer to the eldest grandson Wuji?" ”

"Naturally, he is indispensable, but he is not the only one!" Li You punched the table angrily and said, "The blood feud between the Li family and the Yin family goes back to decades ago. At that time, my mother was a teenager. At that time, my grandfather killed the grandfather of the Li family and killed my father's brother. Later, my grandfather was defeated and captured, and dozens of members of the family were slaughtered - except for my mother. ”

Yin Hongzhi immediately took over: "No one knows the situation better than me, it's too miserable." No matter how the historians whitewashed it later, and how His Majesty the Emperor tried to cover up the mouths of everyone, it could not change the fact that it was a revenge massacre. Although my sister-in-law later became the emperor's concubine, at the beginning, the emperor also took a fancy to her beauty, and out of the intention of obscenity and revenge, he enslaved her for sex day and night! That's it, with this His Royal Highness the King of Qi in front of you! ”

"Mr. Yin, what you said is a bit redundant!" Qin Mubai's face sank, and he looked at him coldly, "Since it's an old thing, why do you turn it out and add oil and vinegar to explain it in detail?" What exactly is your purpose? What good will it do him that you proclaim these things in the ears of Your Highness all day long? Aren't you trying to mislead him into the wrong way and set him on fire? ”

was snatched away by Qin Mubai's righteous and stern words, Yin Hongzhi's face suddenly turned red, and he blinked his eyes and said, "This, this...... That's not what I meant! ”

"Mu Bai, don't get excited, my uncle has no malicious intent." Li You was calm, but instead came over to persuade Qin Mubai, he said, "He is just telling that period of history, which is somewhat related to my current situation." Why don't you listen to him? ”

"Then you can go on!" Qin Mubai snorted coldly.

"In fact, these things are not secret, almost everyone knows about them, but the vast majority of people dare not mention them." Yin Hongzhi continued, "In the next ten or twenty years, the world gradually forgot this bloody past, but how can I forget? I will never forget the tragic scene when the Yin family was beheaded all over the house! I don't know how Concubine Yin De survived all these years, sharing the bed with the enemy who killed her father and exterminating the clan all day long, and gave birth to children for him...... It's so torturous! At the same time, I, the only surviving male of the Yin family, did not feel like I was on pins and needles for a moment. But it's not because I'm afraid of death, I should have died twenty years ago, and after living twenty more years, I've earned it. I'm just worried that if someone remembers this old feud and is afraid of it and calculates it for the next generation, it will be a great tragedy! ”

"Tell the truth!" Qin Mubai couldn't listen to it anymore, so he snorted bitterly and scolded: "Mr. Yin, you save the belly of others with your own heart, this is all about it." What's even more unbearable is that you imposed your own panic and anxiety on His Royal Highness King Qi, and also forced it on the body of Concubine Yin De Niangniang and Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang...... Can you be any more selfish? There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves! With the authority of the emperor, with the ability of the eldest grandson Wuji and others, if you want to be suspicious and exclude, if you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, why do you have to wait until today? Your Royal Highness King Qi, please forgive me for saying something very hurtful, if you keep listening to your uncle's envoy like this, sooner or later something bad will happen! It is impossible for him to forget the blood feud of the Yin family, and he even dreams of revenge and blood hatred! But he doesn't have such ability, so he has no choice but to incite demagoguery against you! There is no need to guess, since you have become sensible in recent years, he has instilled this idea of hatred in your ears in order to divide the father-son relationship between you and His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Qin Mubai, you're too much!" Yin Hongzhi suddenly became furious, "I'm his uncle!" How can I harm his teachings! ”

Qin Mubai was not angry at all, but sneered: "If it weren't for such a special identity as a cover, do you think His Highness would listen to you?" Since ancient times, they have been inseparable, if you are not his uncle, how can you have such persuasive power to separate a father and son? ”

"You, you! ......" Yin Hongzhi was so angry that you were all red, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense!" ”

Li You's eyes rotated left and right, and his eyes became extremely cold, not only angry, but even murderous!

"Looks like I said something I shouldn't have said." Qin Mubai grinned coldly, "Does that mean that it's unlikely that I'm going to leave easily today?" ”

"Mu Bai, it's a little incomprehensible for you to say that." Li You suddenly smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, uncle, Mu Bai, don't quarrel." I know you're all for my good. My uncle has no malicious intentions, he just wants to remind me to be prepared for danger in times of peace; What Mu Bai means, I also understand that I will never be stupid enough to go against my father, so thank you! ”

"I know you won't. Because you don't have that strength, you won't have such courage. Qin Mubai sneered and said, "Whether you want to listen or not, there are some things I have to tell you, His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

"Well, please." Li You was able to hold his breath, and persuaded Yin Hongzhi, who was flushed with anger, to sit down.

"There's one thing your uncle is right about. For so many years, Concubine Yin De Niangniang is indeed worse than death. Qin Mubai said, "So one day, he hanged himself." ”

"Huh? How did we not know? The two exclaimed together.

"It seems that apart from me and Concubine Yin De, no one else knows." Qin Mubai said lightly, "I remember that she told me at that time that since the day her house was destroyed, she has never lived a day for herself. Willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor because she does not want to see your uncle, the last trace of the Yin family's bloodline, cut off; Later, she became pregnant with a child, then the child is you, His Royal Highness King Qi. For your sake, she must endure humiliation and live hard. It is true that from the very beginning, His Majesty the Emperor did take Concubine Yin De in the room for some reason unrelated to love. But later, he did treat Concubine Yin De well, which can be seen from the fact that he named you the king, doted on Gao Yang, and made Concubine Yin De one of the four concubines second only to the queen. Otherwise, is it necessary for him to do so? There are so many women in the harem, why does His Majesty the Emperor treat the daughter of an enemy well? ”

"Therefore, it is a fact that Li Yin's two families have a feud, and His Majesty the Emperor will treat Concubine Yin De and your brothers and sisters sincerely, which is not false. Also, Mr. Yin, isn't it a miracle that you can survive to this day? Cutting the grass without removing the roots, is it the emperor's usual method? Qin Mubai said, "Do you know why this is happening? ”

"Why?" The two asked together.

"I also asked Concubine Yin De like this at that time." Qin Mubai said, "She told me that it took her twenty years to resolve His Majesty the Emperor's hatred for the Yin family. The method she used was to love him deeply. ”

The two of them were stunned at the same time, obviously not expecting such an outrageous answer.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "It seems that you can't understand it, but it doesn't matter. What I want to say is that this blood feud is a thing of the past. Just imagine, didn't Mr. Yin's father also kill His Majesty the Emperor's brother and dig up his Li family's ancestral grave? His Majesty the Emperor wants to take revenge, and it almost only takes one thought to achieve it, and you, Mr. Yin, should have been a ghost for twenty years. The reason why I have kept you so far is not to keep you for revenge, but to let you and him forget and eliminate this hatred over time. In troubled times, who has no family enmity? If it is passed down from generation to generation, won't the world be full of endless killing? What's more, Concubine Yin De sacrificed everything in her life in order to resolve this feud and not let the next generation be implicated. And you, Mr. Yin, are always with a small face, nagging in your nephew's ear and nagging all the time, planting the seeds of hatred in his mind. Compared to the two, you are really not even a woman! What kind of face do you have, facing the white silk that Concubine Yin De committed suicide by hanging from the beam? What is the face, facing her white hair like snow? What is the face, still claiming to be the maternal uncle of His Royal Highness King Qi and Princess Gaoyang? You, a narrow-minded and despicable man, do not hesitate to bewitch your own nephew to lead him into a wrong path for the sake of your own personal vendea, are you still worried that Concubine Yinde's life is not bitter enough?! ”

As Qin Mubai spoke, he thought of Concubine Yin De, who was far away in Chang'an and lived in the cold hall of Senguan, and he was so excited in his heart that he couldn't help himself, and he scolded all the ugly words!

Anyway, Qin Mubai didn't bother his uncle and nephew for anything!

"Qin Mubai, you, you...... You're spewing blood! Yin Hongzhi was scolded so much that his face turned white, and he pointed at Qin Mubai with anger.

"You know in your heart, I have not wronged you." Qin Mubai said coldly, "You specially invited me here today, it is nothing more than some ulterior motives. Luckily, you haven't said a lot yet, so I'll stop you back first. If you want to say something without a king and a father, please keep your mouth shut. If it's just chatting about homely wine tasting, of course I'm a Qin person willing to accompany me. ”

Li You was obviously also angry, holding back his anger, and his neck was thick. But instead of having a seizure, he swallowed raw, his face flushed, but he smiled. He nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed a close person who can say such upright words. Mu Bai, thank you for your unspeakable advice, it will be like a slap in the face, let me be enlightened. I was wrong, I really shouldn't have let down my mother's twenty years of hard work, and let the feud of the previous generation control my emotions. Actually, I didn't mean anything else when I came to you today, I just saw that you have a very good relationship with His Majesty the Emperor and the eldest brother of the crown prince. If it is convenient for you, please speak a few more kind words for me in front of them. lest I wake up one day and receive the bad news that I have been cleared of my imperial status and exiled to Lingnan. ”

"Ling'er is my unfinished wife, and His Royal Highness is my future brother-in-law, if I don't help you, who else can I help? You can rest assured of this. Qin Mubai glanced at Yin Hongzhi coldly and said, "If Your Highness really wakes up, it will be the best." What I'm saying today is ugly enough that you can't help it if you want to hate me. Now that I have spoken, I have the courage to bear the consequences of sinning. Whoever harbors evil intentions and has good intentions when he speaks malice will have time to prove it. Mr. Yin, it is clear who is close to you and who is close to His Highness. Your Highness is certainly willing to listen to you, not mine. So, I persuade Your Highness here, I can't help but scold you, I hope you can understand - not to understand how noble and sincere my Qin someone is, but to understand the good intentions of Concubine Yin De. If you are really a big man who stands up to the sky, you shouldn't be so selfish. Well, I'm talking about it. There are many sins today, and I will ask for sins again tomorrow. Leave! ”

With that, Qin Mubai got up and walked out.

Fang just stood up, but he felt a violent dizziness, and he was unsteady on his feet. He staggered and turned around, glared at Li You, the king of Qi, angrily, and gritted his teeth: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi...... Don't do anything stupid! ”

"I'm sorry, Mu Bai." Li You looked at Qin Mubai indifferently, and said lightly, "The matter has come to this, I have no choice!" ”

Yin Hongzhi sneered on the side: "As expected, you are really stubborn!" - Don't worry, we are also for you and Ling'er's good! ”

When Qin Mubai heard this, his heart became cold, and he lost his mind for a while, leaving only one thought - what a powerful drug!

At this time, he had no strength in his body, and he fell to the ground with a bang, fainting on the spot.
