CHAPTER XXIII

"Yes...... You have never been worried, your mother is just a servant who stays at home for you to honor the elderly, and you have a wife and children in the north, no more than one, no less less.

As my brother said, you have just lost a wife, and my brother and I have lost our only mother.

Qingyan asked sharply: "Have you ever cared about how she stayed in the Li family, have you worried that she will be bullied by her mother-in-law and disliked by her concubine, have you ever cared about her body and her heart?"

When his father hugged his left and right with red sleeves, could he have thought about the scene when his mother was alone and cried to the moon.

Probably even my father dislikes my mother's salt and incompetence, and she can't run the house for you, and she can't compare to the gentleness and pettiness of your concubine's room, which is charming and colorful! ”

"You ......" Li Zhiyu suddenly said angrily: "This is what you should say as a child?" Where is your turn to speak about me and your mother?"

Qingyan hooked his lips and smiled coldly!

"Father is right, you have made a choice between you and your mother, then we will solve the matter between us and your mother, and please don't interfere with my father then!"

Li Zhiyu's eyes were full of fatigue, rubbing his eyebrows with both hands and pressing, but the indifference and ruthlessness outside of fatigue were also fully revealed.

"You don't understand the hard-won career of being a father, I can't lose it because of your mother's affairs, but your mother is different, she is just a patient in the first place, and there is no loss for her to lose something!"

Qingyan laughed, and his voice was full of mockery: "What does my father's loss mean?" Life or dignity? ”

And Li Qingmin, who had been silent for a long time, said coldly: "What did grandmother and father say, she promised you a high position to return to Beijing, or promised you the reputation of the Li family's son-in-law, the wish you have been longing for is finally coming true, isn't it very proud!"

"Evil Beast...... What did you say, is it not good for you that I have become a sister-in-law! Li Zhiyu's eyes widened like copper bells, and he scolded angrily.

"They were still young, and they didn't understand that being a concubine in the world meant having all the fame and wealth of the family at their fingertips.

They can't understand him, the dedication and sorrow behind the concubine!

But this is only what he wanted in the past, and now the old lady has promised greater benefits."

Li Qingmin's admiration for him in his heart had disappeared at this time.

Ha ha......

The laughter startled the people of the courtyard.

"Yan'er, let's go...... Since my father has made a decision, why bother talking about it".

Li Qingmin pulled Qingyan's arm and pulled her out of the door.

Walking on the road, the cool breeze blew on her cheeks, making her unusually sober, she didn't expect that this father was no better than her general father, the same ruthlessness, the same selfishness.

"Brother...... The eldest uncle sent me a message saying that the queen's heart disease had risen again for a long time and she had ignored the harem, and Shuning Palace was also closed to guests, refusing all the visits of concubines and ministers.

The imperial concubine who is in charge of the harem happened to go to Tai'an with the lord of Lin'an a few days ago, and she didn't know when she would return.

Now we can't point to it, and we can only rely on ourselves, what is my brother going to do? ”

Li Qingmin also calmed down and said leisurely: "The purpose of the eldest uncle is to persuade Concubine Shu to release her mother, and at the same time, he doesn't want to stab this matter in front of the monarch.

And we are worried that our mother will be hurt, and at the same time, we are not afraid to poke this matter out, so that passage is our only choice."

Li Qingyan smiled slowly and said, "No...... Brother, we are too weak now, the Li family is still our blessing, we can go through that passage, and this will be the only bargaining chip for us to let Concubine Shu let go of her mother, so as to blackmail her, I think she will agree, don't forget, the Li family is also the support of Concubine Shu and the second prince."

"Good...... We'll do it tonight."

In Qiuwuju, the room was empty, and the second master closed his eyes and tilted his head and whispered, "Miss Cui, when will you go home?"

He seemed to be talking to someone, but there was no one else in the room but him, and it was a long time before a hoarse voice came from the darkness and replied to him, "Say it's tomorrow"

"Did she bring anything?"

"Miss Cui said to rest assured that the old man will carry that thing with her in her hand, and she will hand it over to you personally when she returns to the Li family."

"That's good, if she hadn't come up with evidence, I wouldn't have believed a word of what she said, it has been more than fifty years since the Western Liang Kingdom was wiped out by the Great Qi, and the Yan royal family has been forgotten by the world.

Can you believe it?

I...... A concubine would actually be a descendant of the Yan clan, with a bloodline that is more expensive than everyone else in this world", Li Zhiyu laughed uncontrollably until he burst into tears.

The voice in the darkness was silent.

"Why don't you speak, don't you think this matter is incredible."

"No...... What does the master tell his subordinates to let me do? ”

"The old lady promised me that she would give me the identity of my sister-in-law and the mine that my father left her, the sister-in-law of the Li family is not a pariah compared to the Yan family, how can I look down on it, I like the mine in her hands."

Li Zhiyu paused, his eyes flashing with fanatical excitement.

"I want to use that mine to revive the glory of my Yan clan!"

"Master, Miss Cui is only the same age as Miss, how does she know about the Yan family!

After all, Daqi wiped out the Yan family, and at the same time, everything related to the Yan family disappeared in that fire.

The subordinates felt that Miss Cui's words needed to be verified, and she herself was also strange, so it was better to check it again."

"Some people are born with wisdom, I believe in her."

The person in the dark smiled bitterly and stopped talking, he was originally the guard of the master's mother, and the master gave him to the master when he died, but even the master never explained what he said, where did the strange Miss Cui family know the secret of the destruction of the country.

Silence is back in the room!

The long days and short nights can't stop the arrival of the night.

Qingyan sent Biqing to settle down in Zhuxuanju, and then wore a night suit from his brother and went out of Qunfang Garden directly through the night, and got into the carriage prepared by his brother.

Shrouded in darkness, the streets of Daqi have a strict curfew, except for the guards in Kyoto, no one is allowed to move around at night, and if they are caught, they will be locked up in the darkroom.

The brother said that he had taken care of everything so that she didn't have to worry.

How to dot it, she didn't ask!

The carriage went all the way from east to west without incident, and drove directly to the courtyard of the old man Liu.

After a few days, the courtyard was still the same as that day, and Old Man Liu never appeared.

Yuedong went down the cave first with a fire, Qingyan and Biqing followed behind, and after his brother gave the pad, a group of four people walked through the passage of the stone cave, and walked for a long time before they arrived at an empty room.

All four of them were taken aback!
