81. It is natural for the father to repay the debt of the son

"You've been going around here for most of the night, just to get the conversation out there and tell me about these old things? You want to say, I don't want to hear it, I'm in a hurry to kill you! ā€

"You don't want to hear it now, come and beg me when you want to hear it in the future, I won't say it!" Aunt Nian's face was ugly.

Su Qingyuan shook her head, and her attitude was very stubborn: "I'm not interested in listening, if you really want to say it, go out and catch a little eunuch to tie it up, and tell him to listen!" ā€

Aunt Nian ran out of ideas, and began to think about whether to partially adopt Su Qingyuan's suggestion to pick her up and tie her, and insisted on telling her.

After thinking about it for a while, Aunt Nian woke up like a dream.

Su Qingyuan is already in her hands at this time, and she can't run away if she doesn't tie it, why should she ask for advice over and over again? Just say it!

So, Aunt Nian calmed down, sank her face, and started the mode of talking about the past: "Sixteen years ago, I just gave birth to you not long ......"

***

Ting Palace.

Lu Li sat in the cramped and cold cell.

The soil in the tunnel was brought up basket by basket, and it was all very solid red clay in lumps.

An old eunuch shook his head while watching: "It's still not right." The red clay was sturdy and showed no signs of stirring. ā€

"But that's the last direction!" The little eunuch at the entrance of the cave was aggrieved.

The old eunuch thought for a long time and shook his head: "There is no way out at the end of the tunnel, we are fooled." ā€

Lu Li stood up and spun around irritably: "But, Ah Kite...... The Queen's earrings were indeed found at the entrance of the cave, but where would they have gone if they weren't in the tunnels? ā€

The old eunuch lowered his head and said, "It's not that it's not in the tunnel, but it's ...... The exit isn't where we found it, and it's possible to go anywhere in this section of the tunnel. ā€

The little eunuch at the entrance of the cave was so frightened that his face turned white: "The tunnels we found are hundreds of zhang, if we go to find them inch by inch, ......"

"Then send more people and find it inch by inch!" Lu Li shouted.

The little eunuch didn't dare to speak, and prostrated at the entrance of the cave and kowtowed.

Xiao Luzi hesitated for a long time, and finally knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is already so cold in this cell, and it must be even more difficult in the tunnel." If the person who goes down freezes, the mother will not be happy not to go......"

Lu Li gritted his teeth and thought for a long time: "At this time, all the people below will come up, and another group of people will go down and look for it." ā€

Xiao Luzi didn't dare to persuade again, so he had to call someone to give an order.

The old eunuch from before hurriedly said: "Since the other party dares to seal the exit at this end, there must be other exits in the tunnel, otherwise the people inside are very easy to suffocate to death!" ā€

Lu Li commanded in a dumb voice: "Order all palaces to search the courtyard and room, and do not let go of any clues." ā€

Xiao Luzi agreed repeatedly, and couldn't help but persuade: "It's late at night, your ......, Your Majesty."

"I don't know if Ah Kite is alive or dead, how can you let me rest assured!" Lu Li was anxious and angry, and his voice was hoarse.

None of the people around him dared to persuade, so they had to grit their teeth and endure shivering, and accompany him to suffer from the cold.

At this time, the county lord of Jingmin suddenly knocked open the little eunuch guarding the door and forced his way in: "Brother Emperor! ā€

Lu Li calmed down, and only spoke in a dumb voice for a long time: "Why are you here?" I remember...... Didn't the Queen Mother order you to be grounded for reflection? ā€

Lord Jingmin hugged Lu Li's waist and cried: "I heard that the Queen Mother is gone, and I know that you must be sad in your heart, so I want to come to accompany you...... If the Queen Mother is angry, wait for her to come back and ask her to punish me for two more months! ā€

Lu Li sighed and patted her back soothingly: "I'm fine." ā€

Lord Jingmin cried so much that he cried a handful of tears: "How can it be okay!" It's so cold here...... Your body is cold! If you get sick from the cold, everyone will be worried! ā€

Xiao Luzi hurriedly took the opportunity to persuade: "What the noble concubine said is very true, Your Majesty, if you don't cherish the dragon body, the queen mother and the ladies will be worried!" ā€

Lord Jingmin wiped his eyes vigorously, raised his head and said hurriedly: "You don't have to worry too much, the Queen Mother will definitely be fine!" Think about it, there was no one else in the palace when the accident happened, if the bad guy wanted the queen mother's life, he could kill her on the spot, why bother taking her away at the time and effort! Since they are willing to spend this effort, it means that the Queen Mother is useful to them, and since they are useful, of course they will keep her life! ā€

Lu Li thought sullenly for a long time, and finally regained a little brightness in his eyes: "You are ...... There is some truth to that. ā€

Lord Jingmin hurriedly said: "Of course my words make sense!" So you can go back with me and take a break, okay? This ghost place is too cold, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother hasn't found it yet, and your body will collapse first! ā€

Lu Li's heart was a little hesitant, Xiao Luzi saw it, and simply made a decision for him boldly: "If you go down the tunnel, a different group of people will come up every other hour to rest; Be more careful to find the exit in each palace, if you find it, you will go to Yuxiu Palace and report it to the emperor as soon as possible! ā€

Lu Li had no reason to insist on staying, so he obeyed Lord Jingmin's wishes and followed her out of the cell.

A bright smile immediately appeared on the little face of the county lord Jingmin.

Lu Li looked a little dazzling.

When he left the Yeting Palace, he couldn't help but ask, "Who taught you those words just now?" ā€

Lord Jingmin raised his head and blinked suspiciously: "I thought it myself!" Didn't the emperor's brother believe that Jing Min would be reasonable? ā€

Lu Li reluctantly tugged at the corners of his lips: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just ...... Suddenly I feel like you've grown up a lot. ā€

"I'm almost seventeen, and you still treat me as a child?" Lord Jingmin muttered dissatisfiedly.

Lu Li's feet paused.

There seems to be a lingering smell of fire in the air. He has carefully prepared fireworks for several months, which must have become the talk of the people in the capital after tea and dinner.

But what about the person watching the fireworks?

Does she know his mind, does she know that he is anxious for her?

Where is she at the moment? Have you been wronged? Will the other party use cruel means against her?

He doesn't know anything!

Lu Li's eyebrows tightened. Lord Jingmin babbled a lot of words, but he couldn't listen to them anymore.

The distance from Yeting Palace to Yuxiu Palace is not close, but no one thinks of it. Lord Jingmin carefully supported Lu Li and walked back slowly along the frost-covered gravel road.

Standing in the warm room of Yuxiu Palace, Lu Li's heart was even more uneasy.

Where Ah Kite is at the moment, is there a stove? Do you have food to eat? Is there a bed to sleep in? She was pregnant with a child, weak in body, and had ...... taste Who will take care of her?

The county lord of Jingmin saw Lu Li standing still, so he had to come over and pull him to sit down: "Brother Emperor, you haven't even eaten lunch, and you must be hungry until now!" I asked the kitchenette to prepare the food and drinks, how about you...... Warm up! ā€

Chapter 81 The Father's Debt and the Son's Repayment are Justified

In the middle of the tunnel, in that exquisite and gorgeous little room.

Su Qingyuan hugged the quilt, and her eyes widened at some point.

Aunt Nian sat at the head of the bed, gritted her teeth and said word by word: "At that time, you were not yet full moon, and I shouldn't have gone out." But the emperor has a call, who dares not to obey? At that time, I was still lucky in my heart, thinking that he should not find out my identity, but I didn't expect ......"

"Your identity?" Su Qingyu's brows tightened.

Aunt Nian let out a long sigh: "Yes, my identity is now also your identity." This is crucial. ā€

Su Qingyuan pursed her lips disdainfully.

Aunt Nian grabbed her wrist and asked sharply, "Now I'm going to tell you our true identity, are you ready?" ā€

Su Qingyuan couldn't shake off her hand, but glared at her unruly: "I don't want to know what 'identity' is." Now I have only one identity, which is 'Lu Li's woman'! ā€

"When I'm done, you won't think so." Aunt Nian's face was grim, and her voice was cold and slightly hoarse.

Su Qingyuan was a little scared in her heart. At Aunt Shangnian's gaze, she inexplicably felt panicked and wanted to escape, but she couldn't help but listen to her continue.

Aunt Nian's gaze softened, and her tone slowed down: "Seventeen years ago, in the further south of South Vietnam, there was a mountain that stretched for hundreds of miles, and a group of people lived there...... They are not subject to kingization, and they do not have the court and soldiers, and they have grown tea and picked yĆ o for generations, and there is no dispute with the world. Because many people in the clan are good at medicine and witchcraft, the outside world calls them 'witches'. ā€

Aunt Nian said as she noticed Su Qingyu's face. Seeing that the latter's face changed slightly, she was overjoyed and immediately intercepted the conversation.

Su Qingyuan looked at her coldly: "So, you admit to using spells to murder Lu Li and the child in my womb." ā€

"That's not the point!" Aunt Nian's face darkened.

Su Qingyuan glared at her with disgust: "For me, that's the point. ā€

Aunt Nian stood up angrily, but in the end she didn't leave, but sat down on the chair next to the bed: "It's not too late for you to listen to me and judge it!" ā€

Su Qingyuan sneered: "I'm really not interested, since you insist on saying it, then let's keep talking." ā€

Aunt Nian was so angry that it took a lot of effort to regain her emotions, and continued: "The people of the Wu clan have lived in the deep mountains for thousands of years, and the folk customs are simple, and they rarely go out of the mountains. No one thought of it...... One day, more than 100,000 ironclad soldiers suddenly broke into the mountains and slaughtered more than 60 villages up and down the Wu clan! They killed the patriarch, killed the wizard, killed the hundred-year-old Grandpa Rui, killed the newborn baby......"

Su Qingyuan held the quilt corner with one hand, and put the other hand on her lower abdomen to comfort her child, feeling a little uncomfortable.

This time, Aunt Nian didn't stop.

She wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: "Nearly 10,000 people from all over the clan were killed overnight, and even the beach of the Goddess River turned red...... After the slaughter of the village, the ironclad soldiers searched in the mountains for more than 20 days, just to catch and kill those Abel who went out hunting! By the time they left, there was no one left of the Wu clan who had been fighting with the world for thousands of years...... None more! ā€

"At least one more." Su Qingyuan corrected.

Aunt Nian wiped her eyes fiercely and raised her head: "Yes, there is another one." ā€

Su Qingyuan frowned and looked at her: "I don't understand. You said that it was the ironclad soldiers who slaughtered the Wu Clan, so your enemy should be Su Yi! Why did you marry him again and bear him children? ā€

Aunt Nian hesitated for a moment, her expression a little complicated: "I know...... It was he who led people to kill all my people, but he also did what he was ordered, and he couldn't help himself. At least he did his best to save me in that situation, didn't he? ā€

Su Qingyuan snorted and let out a disdainful mockery.

Aunt Nian's face was a little ugly.

After a long while, Su Qingyuan lifted the pillow and put it under her waist, turned sideways and asked, "There must be a reason why they slaughtered the Wu Clan, right?" ā€

Aunt Nian gritted her teeth and bit it very hard: "It's all because of that damn national teacher!" In order to be alarmist, he made up nonsense such as 'the stars change, the heavens and the earth are shocked, and the co-lord is coming', deceiving the world and stealing his name! ā€

Su Qingyuan was a little confused when she heard this, and Aunt Nian explained: "This sentence means that the way of heaven has changed, and there is one person who can dominate the world and end the current situation of many countries. The old thief believed this nonsense, and found a group of ghostly soothsayers to calculate that the so-called 'co-master' would be born in the Wu Clan, so he did such a ruthless hand to the Wu Clan! ā€

Su Qingyuan's heart was a little uncomfortable, and he asked after a long time: "The 'old thief' you are talking about, is it Emperor Zhao?" He was afraid that the Wu Clan would have a 'co-master' to conquer the Nanyue Dynasty, so he sent ironclad soldiers to exterminate the Wu Clan? ā€

Aunt Nian sighed and bowed her head in acquiescence.

Su Qingyuan thought for a long time, and said sullenly: "Then your Wu clan is indeed quite pitiful. ā€

"Tens of thousands of innocent people of the Wu clan died tragically, and in your eyes, they only got a sentence of 'quite pitiful'?" Aunt Nian was furious.

Su Qingyuan said calmly: "You are wrong. Tens of thousands of people of the Wu tribe died tragically, but I just heard about it, and I didn't 'fall into the eyes'. But you yourself, who witnessed the tragic death of your relatives and clansmen, can still marry your enemy immediately as if nothing happened, and you are really amazing when you have children! ā€

"I have already said that the enemy of the Wu clan is the old thief, not your father!" Aunt Nian pounced on her, with a very hideous expression on her face.

Su Qingyuan hurriedly hugged the pillow and shrank into the corner.

Aunt Nian grabbed her shoulder, but she didn't do it ruthlessly, just threw herself on the bed and cried bitterly.

Su Qingyuan felt a little sad, but she didn't plan to comfort her.

She understands this woman's pain, but she can't empathize with it.

When Aunt Nian was almost crying, Su Qingyuan reached out and patted her shoulder: "I have a question, I don't know whether to ask it or not." ā€

Aunt Nian raised her head and looked at her steadily.

Su Qingyuan pursed the corners of her lips and asked in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that if the words of that national teacher are true, you are already the last person in the Wu clan, will the so-called 'co-master' be born by you?" ā€

"You've finally got to the point." Aunt Nian sneered.

Su Qingyuan sat quietly and listened to her say, "Not only did I think so, but that old thief also thought so!" Otherwise, why do you think he still imprisoned me in this tunnel after Su Yi was angry, and did not hesitate to turn against the monarch and ministers? ā€

Su Qingyuan nodded, and asked nonchalantly: "Then have you ever thought about what Su Yi's mind is?" ā€

"Of course he ......is," Aunt Nian said, but she didn't know how to continue.

Su Qingyuan showed a mocking smile: "Why don't you say it?" Do you want to say that of course he fell in love with you at first sight, so he secretly left your life behind, tried his best to bring you back to the house, and sang a song with you about flounder? Based on your understanding of Su Yi, is he that kind of person? The general I know is cunning, suspicious, resolute and cold, and he will never allow a potential danger to appear around him! He killed your people, so how could he be defenseless against you? How can his wariness of you be better than the 'love at first sight' you imagined? At that time, Su Yi was nearly middle-aged, he already had a wife in the house, and his eldest daughter was ten years old. ā€

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Aunt Nian's eyes widened, and the whites of her eyes turned almost completely red.

Su Qingyuan said coldly: "General Su's ambition doesn't look like it has only grown up in recent years!" Although he is not an emperor, who said that a person who is not an emperor cannot have the ambition to rule the world? Silly woman, he kept your life, he took you as his wife, and he was gentle with you in every way, all so that you could bear him a son! You should be glad that you gave birth to a daughter, otherwise the day the child lands will be the time you die! ā€

"No, it's impossible to ......" Aunt Nian's face was like ashes.

Su Qingyuan let out a long sigh: "Actually, you know, right?" If you trust him with all your heart, you should go back to him after that fire, instead of pretending to be crazy and stupid and hiding in the palace to be a palace maid! ā€

"I'm hiding in the palace to ......take revenge," Aunt Nian argued.

Su Qingyuan said unhurriedly: "With General Su's 200,000 ironclad soldiers, wouldn't it be easier for you to take revenge?" ā€

Aunt Nian is still holding on: "I'm ...... I have been insulted by the old thief, and I have no shame to see him! ā€

"You didn't ask him, so how do you know he will?
