Qi Shiyan felt strange when he heard the girl's grief and indignation, raised his head and looked at Xue Ling, and couldn't think of anything sad and angry about this girl.

The daughter of fireworks, I'm afraid that I heard about an old thing, and tried in vain to change the tanuki into the Qi Mansion. What do you want? It's nothing more than fine clothes and food, glory and wealth, he has already given it.

Moreover, through the affairs of the Qi family, he was personally married by the emperor. is married, and the son of Jiang Guogong is the wife, and she is the official lady in Beijing, and she should laugh and lose her teeth, no matter how she uses this girl, this benefit can be evened.

Sunlight shone through the window screens and dappled the room, and the shadow of a new leaf was casting on the paper in front of him. The Sang Zheying Slanting Spring Society is scattered, and the family is intoxicated. The first emperor died that year, and it was also such a good spring.

Qi Shiyan's thoughts were flying, not in the study of Qi Mansion, but in the inner courtyard of the palace. Singing and dancing are leveled, and the planning is staggered.

Emperor Liang Xiandi pointed at Qi Shiyan and laughed: "You see, Shiyan is drunk. ”

"The minister is not drunk, and the minister can accompany His Majesty to drink a few more glasses."

He is drunk, otherwise, how could he turn vermilion into plain white in a blink of an eye, and sheng songs for mourning?

When Huo Yunsheng notified the hundred officials to enter the palace, he only said that there was something different in the palace. After drinking last night, Qi Shiyan's head was still a little painful, but he still got into the carriage. It wasn't until he saw the big red coffin in front of the Fengxian Hall that he knew that the Son of Heaven had died and the queen had committed suicide.

The military generals in front of the palace have already knelt down, and most of them are colleagues who drank together last night. Outside the hall is guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, there are in and out. Someone handed over a white filial piety suit and asked him to quickly change into it.

Qi Shiyan took the clothes, couldn't tell whether it was because he hadn't woken up or because he was in severe pain, so he fell headlong in front of the coffin of the first emperor and couldn't stand up for a long time.

When he left last night, the first emperor was fine. "Taiyi, Taiyi, called Taiyi". In the silence, his voice was particularly harsh. "What's wrong with the first emperor, Huo Yunsheng, call the imperial doctor." He struggled and pushed the coffin tremblingly, as if the lid had been lifted and the person inside could still stand up.

Huo Yunsheng was no longer there, he still had to invite people from one family to another, how could he have time to talk to a group of imprisoned people here?

"Brother Shiyan, Brother Shiyan, Your Majesty has gone." Jiang Hong was one of the first to be invited, and he had already seen the strangeness. When the lord of the country died, he kept it a secret, and trapped many ministers with his spirits, but he was afraid that the prince's side would be over.

Qi Shiyan grabbed Jiang Hong's arm: "Grandpa Guo, what's wrong, what's wrong with Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty drank last night, I'm afraid, Brother Shiyan, calm down a little, send your Majesty well." Jiang Hong said in a low voice, and at the same time kept giving Qi Shiyan a look, and finally dragged Qi Shiyan to the side and knelt down.

This kneeling is three days. During the period, Huo Yunsheng came again, and someone shouted: "Let me out, I want to see the prince, who are you instructed by, you are plotting rebellion." Before he finished speaking, he stood up and several ministers shouted in unison.

The people trapped here still don't know that the original prince was startled and has been unconscious. This is still Jiang Yufeng accompanying him that night, if he is not there, it is difficult to say whether he is angry or not.

Blood squirted all over the ground in the blink of an eye, splashing many onto people's clothes. Huo Yunsheng didn't ask a word, and cut down all the people who were standing, and the knife was fatal. The knife was put into the sheath, and then he said: "The noise in front of the emperor and queen is really disrespectful." He beckoned, and a few guards came in and silently dragged the body down. "Your Excellency is here to guard the spirits of the first emperor and the queen, the old and young in the family, have their own royal protection, and do not have to worry." After saying that, he went out, and no one had swept the fishy smell.

Although the crowd occasionally looked at each other, no one spoke. I am trapped, my wife and children are also in the hands of others, what is the situation, is it still unclear? Qi Shiyan untied a piece of clothing, knelt there and desperately wiped the blood stains on the ground, this is the mourning hall!

Three days later, the first emperor was funeral, and the new emperor had ascended the throne, just waiting for this old minister to make up the number at the enthronement ceremony. However, the new emperor was not the original crown prince, but the sixth prince, Wei Long.

Qi Shiyan returned to Qi Mansion in a daze and fell seriously ill. He was so angry that he locked himself in the study for several days and kept writing, changing and rewriting the paper. He wants to sue, he wants to sue today's son for killing his father and brother, and plotting to move to the throne.

Before he could write that he was satisfied, his father-in-law Dingping came to the door.

Qi Shiyan finally lost his pen and forced himself to meet the guests in the front hall. Madame's father easily did not come to Qi Mansion, and if he came, he must have something important.

When I arrived in the front hall, I found that this was a flat wait, and it was carried by someone in a soft sedan chair. That body, the oil is exhausted, and the lamp is dry, but I am afraid that it will be better in a few days. Mrs. Qi kept wiping away tears on the side.

Qi Shiyan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, why is this, if there is something important, just call your son-in-law over." ”

"I'll come... I got it... I'll take a look at you," Dingyuan Hou lay on the soft sedan chair and waved his hand weakly, "Everyone else, go down, I want to talk to Shiyan alone."

The servants and maids were all dispersed, and Mrs. Qi took two looks, and reluctantly returned to the house. Qi Shiyan knelt on the ground and said, "What advice does my father-in-law have?" ”

"You're. You're a little more emaciated than me, a bad old man, for what." Dingping Hou smiled bitterly twice, and his hand stretched out as if he wanted to touch Qi Shiyan's face, but he drooped down again. I kept snoring in my throat, as if I had thick phlegm that I hadn't coughed up, and I was choked there.

Qi Shiyan hung his head and did not answer. How could he not be emaciated?

"You don't speak, I guess, you...... You're a good one, otherwise, I wouldn't have married my sweetheart to you in the first place. ”

"The son-in-law is grateful for his father-in-law's great kindness."

"But now, I'm here to get my daughter back." Dingyuanhou was suddenly very excited and wanted to sit up, but he didn't have the strength, so he coughed all at once. Coughed for a moment and said, "You..... Master Qi is doing well, write a letter of resignation to her, it is my granddaughters who are like flowers, I ...... I'll take it with me. I still have a few young ladies in Dingping Mansion. ”

"What does the father-in-law mean by this, but what is the disobedience of the son-in-law." Qi Shiyan quickly knelt upright.

"No, no. You're a good one. Just because you are a good one, I am afraid, you are going to be loyal, to be loyal, to be loyal? The loyalty of the first emperor. But the loyalty of the first emperor, he is not the loyalty of the new emperor. The world says, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. I'm old, and I'm here to beg you, please don't let me send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. ”

"Father-in-law". Qi Shiyan tilted his head, he understood the intention of Dingyuan Hou, in the past few days, he has been closed in the study, and it must have been Mrs. Someone who brought the letter back to her parents' house. Although Dingping Mansion has long since asked the court, but for such a big matter, the old man must be a clear man. So drag the sick body to persuade yourself.

"You...... Don't speak.......... Listen to me, I won't be able to talk for a few days. This big beam has been in good weather for so many years, and he always has to ..... Hail down.... This beam is still our beam. The people are still our people. When you enter the ranks from the imperial examination, you should know what is expensive and what is light. Ding Pinghou covered his mouth with a handkerchief and kept panting.

"Xindi..... The new emperor ......". Qi Shiyan came from the sadness, stood up and pointed out the door at once, but finally didn't say the reckless sentence. The first emperor's society is clearly fine, how could he suddenly have a bad illness, and he was so coincidentally in the palace of the new emperor's mother. That's not all, the former prince is also unconscious. How can things be so coincidental in the world?

"How about the new emperor, how can I, an old man, know." Dingping Hou beckoned down, motioning for Qi Shiyan to squat down, he didn't have much strength to speak loudly.

Qi Shiyan squatted down according to his words, but he no longer looked at Dingping Hou, he couldn't be in cahoots with those rebellious ministers and thieves.

Dingping Hou was not annoyed, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said to himself: "Shiyan, in your house, your mother-in-law and son are serving, and there are no less than 100 lives. Qingyu and Qingfei are only eleven. You, father, have a case in which to behave with themselves. If you want to go, I can't stop you. You give me the letter of resignation to my son, this Qi Mansion and my Dingping Mansion are cut in two, it will be regarded as a relationship between you and my father and son, if he is here in the future, he will definitely collect the bones for you. ”

The room was silent for a long time, and Dingping Hou asked again:

"Old Madam Qi, this year. Ancient Rare Three, right? Her body is tougher than mine. ”

Qi Shiyan's eyes were red: "Do you want me to see traitors and cholera?" My father-in-law was also a courtier! ”

"Traitor, where did the traitor come from, the former prince has woken up, and personally called His Majesty my emperor today. Shiyan said this, how to deal with His Royal Highness King Chen. ”

"The prince is awake"? Qi Shiyan was a little surprised, he had been refusing outsiders in the house for the past few days, but he didn't know about it.

"Wake up, wake up. Now it's King Chen, Qingyi, and the girl I grew up watching. Shiyan, you can take a look, this Qi Mansion, Chen Wang's Mansion, and Dingping Hou Mansion are all within your thoughts. I'm pulling this old face to beg you to let my daughter live. Don't end up in a situation where you're going to go to the ground with me. ”

It was a cold spring that year, and at the end of March, the charcoal basin was still to be prepared, and the sky was dark and oppressive for several days, and it seemed that snow was about to fly. Qi Shiyan fell to the ground and had nothing to say. There is a seventy-year-old mother and a young daughter. If you jump out by yourself, it is tantamount to putting Chen Wangfu on the fire to roast.

"It's the son-in-law who didn't think about it, and Father Lao gave him advice." Qi Shiyan saw that when he came back that day, he didn't change his court clothes, and he wore them for a few days. A string of morning beads is particularly dazzling on the chest. He tore it off and threw it out, "The son-in-law will resign and return to his hometown, and he will never ask about the world again." ”

Dingping waited for his hands to swing weakly: "No, no, don't." ”

"What else is there to do with my father-in-law, I can't leave unless I leave."

"Look, look at my wrench." Dingping waited for the boss to put his hand up, "I, I bought it at a great price." If someone wants someone to say .....that it looks like stolen goods, you say, what can I do? If I don't bring it, others will say that my heart is weak. ”

Qi Shiyan didn't know what Dingping Hou meant, so he took off his boots and threw them away. Dingyuan Hou trembled and pulled the wrench off his finger and threw it on the ground to smash it to pieces, before he calmed Qi Shiyan.

"I can only break it to prove my innocence"! Dingyuan Hou excitedly knocked on the edge of the soft sedan chair: "You Qi Shiyan want to be a jade, can you dare to swear to the sky and not involve a single person?" If he can't, he will have to be a tile once in a while. ”

Qi Shiyan leaned down and picked up the broken jade wrench piece by piece, and said respectfully: "The little son-in-law sent someone to send the father-in-law back." ”

A few days later, Dingping waited for old age. When the funeral was completed and then went to court, he was conscientious and did not dare to make the slightest mistake. Send worry-free to Xianbei and preside over the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. Even if he died without worry, his sister died. He's still the squire of the Ministry of Rites.

You can't enter, and it's a capital crime for the nine clans to enter. can't retreat, retreat is the new emperor's suspicion, he will be like that wrench, someone fell to prove his innocence. He could only endure in that position for three years, and finally survived until Xue Ling came to the door.

When the little guy took the jade pendant with the gift word to him, he was a little overjoyed, and he naturally knew who this jade pendant was given to. After seeing it, I had other plans. There are all human and material evidence, and it seems irrefutable. But in the world, what father can't recognize his own daughter? I can't recognize it for one day or two, and I can't recognize it for ten and a half days?

He pretended not to recognize, and he did not recognize the good that he could not recognize. These things should have been debunked a long time ago. It's just that the Qiang people visited, Chunqiu and the first, the first emperor for three years, and even, Qingyi was pregnant, and he delayed it again and again, and it was finally over until today.

However, the time is right. His Qi family needs to retreat, the emperor needs to support the newcomer, and even the Jiang family has a kick for some reason, the time and place are favorable.

It has never been Xue Ling who needs a father, it is he Qi Shiyan, and he needs a daughter from a Qinglou to give people a handle and give the emperor a reason to let him go. Even, the background is not enough, this dirty water has to be splashed more, concealing the identity of his daughter, and not recognizing the good night at the beginning.

Since then, Qi Mansion has landed safely without any loss. The Marquis of Dingyuan has long returned to his hometown. Chen Wangfu, at least everyone is still alive.

Only he Qi Shiyan, a walking corpse.
