Chapter 1012: The Loser

The queen grabbed Yingren's hand, her willow eyebrows were raised, her expression became cold, her face was frosty, and she reprimanded in a low voice: "Yingren, do you know what nonsense you are talking about?" You...... How can you say such a rebellious statement? If your father knew that you thought so, he would ...... It must be very sad! ”

The queen was visibly worried that the wall had ears, and her body trembled slightly, and she looked around alertly.

"Why would my mother worry about someone eavesdropping?" Yingren said: "All the people in this palace are the queen mother, the queen mother shouldn't be so alert, but every time the child comes over, the queen mother is very careful when she speaks, does the mother feel that there will be someone watching you at all times by your side?" He clenched his fists, "Mother is so alert, who is she guarding against?" ”

The queen's voice was already trembling, "Child, why did you become like this? These words...... Who taught you all these words? ”

"Mother, I'm nineteen years old." Yingren's eyes flashed, "Queen Mother, if I remember correctly, my grandfather died of illness when my father was eighteen years old, and my father inherited the title of Marquis Wu when he was less than twenty years old, and when the world was in turmoil, his father was only in his twenties, and he had already begun to compete with the princes for the world in his twenties, and the child was already nineteen, about to turn twenty, and he was no longer a child." He sat upright, "There are many things that the child couldn't understand before, but now that he thinks about it, he has already figured it out." ”

"What do you understand?" The queen frowned and said: "There are some things, you don't need to think too much, thinking too much is not good for you." ”

"The child used to think that the queen mother and the father were very affectionate, but now the child suddenly understands that maybe in the heart of the queen mother, she has always been afraid of her father." Yingren's eyebrows locked, "The queen mother is very careful in the palace, is she afraid of anything?" Although his voice was low, his words were very sharp, "It is said that the father is very good to the mother, but the child suddenly thought that the father and the queen mother did not spend much time together, over the years, the father was obsessed with cultivation, although he also occasionally came to see the queen mother, but he rarely lived here, the queen mother, you tell the child, is the father really good to you?" Uncle stayed in Zhongyi Courtyard, was it because he was worried that he would affect you, he stayed in Zhongyi Courtyard for 20 years, did he really want to stay there, or was there another reason? ”

The queen's face was a little pale, her breathing became short, and she said, "Don't ask again, until today, I didn't know that your uncle had already left." You're right, twenty years ago, I separated from your uncle in the Zhongyi Courtyard, and although we never met again, we didn't lose touch because of this. When the queen mother was separated from your uncle, she still brought four attendants, two men and two women, all of whom had followed the queen mother for many years, and they followed me into the palace...... With them by her side, although the queen mother can't go out of the palace, but a few of them can, every year the queen mother will send someone to see your uncle in the Zhongyi Courtyard, telling him that you are growing up slowly, and what your uncle wants to know most is whether you are safe and ......! Her tears couldn't help but roll down, and she pinched the silk silk in her hand and wiped it gently.

"Four followers?" Yingren thought about it and suddenly understood something, "Queen Mother, are you talking about Uncle Qi and Aunt Yao?" ”

"Do you remember them?" The queen's eyes showed a look of relief, "It's just a few of them......!" ”

"No wonder they're so nice to me." Yingren sighed lightly: "The child always thought that it was because he was the prince, it turned out that several of them followed the queen mother into the palace, so they are all ...... Dahua's relics? ”

The queen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly, "They have never forgotten that they are Dahua's people!" ”

"But then they suddenly disappeared." Yingren frowned, "The child still remembers that the first person who had no trace was Uncle Qi, and he ...... He seems to have disappeared seven or eight years ago...... Later, it was Aunt Yao, and then the other two people were gone......! Looking at the queen, "Queen Mother, where have they all gone?" ”

The queen's eyes flashed with a hint of pain, and she stopped talking, got up, and said, "Yingren, the queen mother is tired, you go back first......!" ”

"Queen Mother, what do you have to hide from your child now?" Yingren also stood up and said hurriedly: "By your side, there are only children now, and only children can protect you, what happened, you tell the children ......!" He took the queen's hand, with a begging look in his eyes, "Queen Mother, the child has grown up, and the child wants to know where Uncle Qi and they went!" ”

The queen looked at Yingren's eyes with both begging and a trace of pain, and she couldn't bear it, so she sat down again and said in a low voice: "Yingren, you promise the queen mother, and after the queen mother tells you, you quickly forget it, don't remember it......!" ”

"You say the queen mother!"

"After the queen mother entered the palace, she has never broken off contact with your uncle, and she will communicate with your uncle at least once a year." The queen said softly: "Actually, the letter never says anything, only greets each other's bodies, and the most is to mention you, your uncle wants to know everything about you, and the queen mother, let him know your growth ...... as much as possible!" ”

Yingren's eyes flickered, "It turns out that my uncle has been caring about my ......!" ”

"The person in charge of liaison is you, Uncle Qi." The queen said: "When I was separated from your uncle, your uncle specially asked you to follow Uncle Qi, do you still remember your Uncle Qi's name?" ”

Yingren shook his head and said with annoyance: "The child remembers asking him, and he also told the child, but ...... The child didn't take it to heart and forgot ......! ”

"His name, don't forget, he is a man of integrity." The queen said in a low voice: "He used to be the head of the imperial guard of the Dahua Empire, after the city was broken, he has been guarding us, when the Luo'an capital fell, your uncle was only ten years old, and the queen mother was only six years old. Your uncle asked him to follow me, just because your Uncle Qi is a top martial arts master, and he ...... In order to enter the palace to protect me, even ...... He even did not hesitate to purify his body ......, he once even thought of teaching you a body of kung fu, but ...... The Queen Mother didn't want you to get involved in the fight, so ......! He sighed lightly and said, "His name is Qi Baihe, don't forget!" ”

Yingren nodded solemnly and immediately asked, "But where did he go later?" Why hasn't he been heard from anywhere? ”

"I have been in correspondence with your uncle for more than ten years, and it has been very smooth." The queen said: "Eight years ago, your Uncle Qi went to the Zhongyi Courtyard with my letters, but since then there has been no news of him. We have waited for several months, but there is no news, your Aunt Yao has always liked your Uncle Qi, she is worried about your Uncle Qi, and begged me to go out of the palace to find it, and the queen mother is also worried about him, although she feels that something is wrong, but in the end she still agrees that your Aunt Yao will go out of the palace ......! Speaking of this, he sighed: "If I knew the result, I would definitely not let her leave ......!" ”

"Could it be that Aunt Yao is also gone?" Yingren was stunned for a moment, frowned and recalled, "Yes, the child remembers, a few months after Uncle Qi disappeared, Aunt Yao was gone...... He was even more puzzled: "What about the other two?" They seem to have been separated for a long time, and there is no trace, Queen Mother, do you know where they have gone? ”

"I don't know." The queen shook her head and said, "Your Uncle Qi and Aunt Yao have not heard from each other since they left the palace, and the other two have suddenly disappeared from the palace...... It's been many years......! The queen's long eyelashes flickered, and there was a hint of fear hidden in the depths of her eyes, "Since then, I have never been in contact with your uncle again, and all these years, the queen mother has never known whether he is dead or alive...... Now I know that he has ...... a year ago! The voice was infinitely sad.

Yingren frowned and said, "Queen Mother, I remember that Uncle Qi was not old at that time, but at the age of fifty, his martial arts should not be weak...... When he was the head of the Dahua Imperial Guard, if he was calculated according to his age, he should be very young, so he could become the head of the Imperial Guard at a young age, then his martial arts must be very powerful. ”

"It's really amazing." The queen nodded and said: "The queen mother was still young at that time, but later I heard from your uncle that your Uncle Qi became the head of the imperial guard, and with his real skills, he defeated many masters, and his martial arts are very good!" ”

"Uncle Qi's martial arts are already very powerful, and he is secretly on an errand on the orders of his mother, he has been in the palace for many years, and he has no quarrel with the world, how can anyone be unfavorable to him? If there is anyone who is against him, who will it be? Yingren frowned, "Why didn't you even let Aunt Yao go later?" There are two other people who also disappeared in the palace, Queen Mother, don't you think this thing is very strange? Since then, you have no close associates and ...... I can no longer communicate with my uncle, you say all this is ......! He raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something, and stared into the queen's eyes, "Queen Mother, have you already guessed who it is?" ”

"No, ......!" The queen shook her head and said, "He...... Yingren, just remember your Uncle Qi's name, and forget everything else, Mother...... Mother is really tired ......! She caressed Yingren's face with pity, "The previous ones will go with him, as long as you can be safe and sound in the future, the queen mother will find a way, and she will definitely find a way to let you leave this whirlpool ......!" ”

"How do I get out of the whirlpool?" Yingren looked at the queen, "What is the way for the queen mother?" ”

"Your current opponent is the crown prince." The queen's eyes flashed, and she said helplessly: "The queen mother will find an opportunity to tell the prince that you ...... You don't have the heart to fight with him, the queen mother will help you persuade the prince to turn your rivalry into a jade silk, you are ...... You are brothers, you can't kill each other......! ”

"Mother is wrong!" Yingren shook his head and said: "If it was half a year ago, the child might not really fight anything, even if the uncle has not forgotten the child's words, but he never wants to fight." But...... The child now knows very well that if he can't become a maggot, then he can only become a fish ......! Lowered his voice, "The father let the child go out of the palace to open the mansion, just to compete with the prince, if the child retreats, the prince will not let the child go, just like he will not let go of the third brother, and the father will not let the child get out so easily, since he let the child and the prince fight, how can he sit back and watch the child retreat......!" His gaze sharpened, "Queen Mother, in fact, the child has no way to retreat, and ...... The child didn't think about returning it, since some things belonged to the child, the child would get them back! ”
