People only remember how dignified and virtuous Queen Chen was, and her mother was in the world, but few people knew that the emperor's favorite was the biological mother of the seventh prince Sima Qiu, and even when Queen Chen had not given birth to a son and a daughter, she wavered and wanted to set up Concubine Shu, but suddenly there was a case of witch Gu, and the emperor was furious, not only belittled every eunuch and palace maid in the palace of the concubine, beheaded the beheaded, exiled, but also exiled Sima Qiu, who was only six years old at the time, to the remote and lonely imperial mausoleum, and was said to replace the emperor to guard the tomb and fulfill filial piety, in fact, is another way of exile.

Ten years ago, it was an eventful autumn, just when Concubine Shu Niangniang was imprisoned for the witch Gu case, and then it was rumored that Concubine Shu committed suicide in prison, and the fire in Weiyang Palace, that is, at that time, Queen Chen became an indispensable virtuous helper to the emperor, and the emperor gave full power to manage the harem to Queen Chen, and there was the brilliance of Queen Chen for more than ten years.

Leng Changxi was a little tired when he came back at night, presumably he was also a headache from the quarrel between you and me in the court, Qin Yunuan carefully served him a cup of hot tea, and before he could speak, Leng Changxi took the initiative to talk: "The dust has settled on Empress Chen's matter, poisoning Concubine Yun and putting the eldest prince under house arrest is enough to kill her, and now there is a witch Gu case ten years ago, and there is evidence to prove that it was Empress Chen who used the palace maids around Concubine Shu to frame her, and sent someone to poison Concubine Shu Niangniang in prison." ”

Qin Yunuan couldn't help but sneer: "This evidence is too sudden and comprehensive, how can such a long-ago matter be found out at once?" ”

Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan glanced at each other, they understood their respective intentions, who else could there be, besides Sima Rui, who else would have such a ability and have such a deep hatred for Queen Chen?

"No matter what, the emperor was really angry this time, and ordered that Empress Chen's body could not enter the imperial mausoleum, and the people were not allowed to mourn."

Qin Yunuan sighed: "The most important thing for Empress Chen during her lifetime was her reputation, so she really couldn't be blinded." ”

The mother of a country was buried outside the imperial mausoleum after her death, and there has never been such an example since the establishment of the Great Qi.

Qin Yunuan rubbed Leng Changxi's shoulders, Leng Changxi squinted his eyes with great enjoyment, but at this time, Leng Wu came in to report, saying that a carriage suddenly came to the back door of King Ning's mansion, and the owner of the carriage didn't know who it was, but he said by name that he wanted to see Leng Changxi.

"There are as many people who want to see me as there are people who want to kill me," Leng Changxi smiled coldly, "Do I have to give face to everyone?" ”

Leng Wu paused, and suddenly arched his hand and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

In the deep and gloomy alley, a black carriage stood quietly at the back door of King Ning's mansion, and the carriage was completely black from the carriage to the carriage curtain, and even the clothes on the coachman's body were all black, as if it was about to dissolve into the darkness of this midnight.

"Please come back to this distinguished guest, if it is late today, our master will not see the guest;

。 A capable guy at the door had a sharp glint in his eyes, and at a glance he knew that it was not just a small guy.

"It's okay," the tone of the person in the carriage was ethereal, like a boneless gossamer, and for a while it was difficult to distinguish between men and women, "I can wait." ”

"Hmph, then you can wait."

The night became more and more intense, but the carriage remained motionless, and the horse seemed to be human, and did not make the slightest noise.

The coachman couldn't sit still, it was cold in the middle of the night, and he was already shivering: "Childe, let's go back, you have always been in a bad body, if you freeze again, ......." ”

"What if it's frozen?" The tone of the man inside sounded a little weak, "I've been in colder places than this." ”

Suddenly, the person inside didn't move, his ears moved slightly, and he seemed to hear a slight friction sound in the air, if he guessed correctly, it should be a pair of fine stitched martial arts boots, who were stepping on the eaves and yellow tiles to this side, this person is light and superior, and it is difficult to find an opponent who can match him in Daqi.

"And he came." The man in the carriage smiled slightly. In an instant, he heard a light sound of landing, and in the face of Leng Changxi, who suddenly appeared in front of the carriage, the coachman was so surprised that he seemed to have seen a ghost, and he fell from the carriage with a shudder.

The people in the carriage were extremely calm, he opened half of the curtain, revealing his white and somewhat sickly face, and said with a slight smile: "General Leng has such a big shelf, he came so late." ”

Leng Changxi turned to the side and said bluntly: "I don't like to listen to nonsense, the Seventh Prince has something to say quickly." ”

The seventh prince Sima Qiu got off the carriage unhurriedly, although he was fifteen or sixteen years old, but because he stayed in such a cold place as the imperial tomb all the year round, Empress Chen even bribed the guards of the imperial tomb and the grandmother to strictly guard Sima Qiu, abusing him in every way, Sima Qiu looked thin and weak, his face was pale, like a bean sprout that had not grown.

"I just like a straight person like General Leng," Sima Qiu took a few steps closer, "I just want to cooperate with General Leng." ”

It's cooperation again, Leng Changxi glanced at Sima Qiu with his residual light: "I dare to ask, why are you, the Seventh Prince?" ”

"Just because we have a common enemy." Sima Qiu's tone began to be a little excited.

"The enemy of the Seventh Prince is Empress Chen," Leng Changxi's eyes were slightly raised, "Now Empress Chen is dead." ”

"It's not enough," Sima Qiu shook his head and said, "Empress Chen and Sima Rui, what they owe me is something that can be paid off by death, do you know what kind of life I live in the imperial tomb?" Speaking of which, I am the prince, but in the imperial mausoleum, I am a tool for their amusement, a laughing stock for conversation, I can tolerate food and drink, and I can also tolerate rough work, but Sima Rui, do you know what he did later? In order to please the land snake in the capital, he arranged the land snake who had violated the boy's subordinates into the imperial tomb, I was pure and white, and I became the object of their fun at night, General Leng, can you imagine? As a man, have such a shameful past? ”

Speaking of this, Sima Qiu slammed his fist into the carriage with all his might, and made a dull sound: "He and Empress Chen killed my mother, made me lose the peace and glory I should have, and also took away my most basic dignity as a human being. ”

Leng Changxi just smiled coldly after hearing this: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." If it weren't for his Nuan Nuan analysis that Concubine Shu's death was likely to be related to the fire in Weiyang Palace, he might be able to find clues from Sima Qiu, so he wouldn't have given up the soft fragrance of Wenyu in the room and ran out in the cold;

"Doesn't General Leng want to know his true background?" Sima Qiu shouted, "I have been investigating the fire in Weiyang Palace for so long, but every time I am short of a clue, with your General Leng's ability, such a small thing would have been found out a long time ago, General Leng, haven't you thought about why?" ”

Leng Changxi looked back, his expression was cold: "What do you mean?" ”

Sima Qiu smiled: "General Leng, haven't you thought about it, will the people around you have problems?" Sima Qiu slowly approached, and said as he walked: "My health is really not good, and my eyes are not good because I stay in a dark environment all year round, but it is precisely because of this that my ear hearing is more than ten times better than that of ordinary people. ”

Leng Changxi's body remained motionless: "Seventh Prince, you should know that I hate being threatened the most." ”

"No one dares to threaten you," Sima Qiu shrugged, "I'm begging you, begging you to cooperate with me." ”

Leng Changxi stared at Sima Qiu for a long time, and he was hesitating in his heart, in fact, he had already discovered what Sima Qiu said, and he had been secretly investigating, but the progress was very slow.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Sima Qiu suddenly spoke: "I have everything you want here, the son of the eldest princess of Weiyang Palace, Leng Changxi." ”

Leng Changxi's pupils shrank, and Qin Yunuan, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but jump in her heart, which was also what she had always suspected, and now she suddenly popped out of Sima Qiu's mouth, unexpected but also expected.

The quiet air seemed to freeze, Leng Changxi's masked face could not see joy or sorrow, he suddenly turned his head and ordered the shadow guard hidden in the darkness: "Kill him." ”

In an instant, the sword light and sword shadow lit up this empty alley, Sima Qiu saw such a posture for the first time, his feet were weak, and he fell on the coachman's body, and his mouth tried his best to explain: "My mother and the eldest princess had an excellent friendship before her death, and after the eldest princess and her relatives were rescued and hidden in the palace, only my mother and concubine went to visit, General Leng, if you want to know more about your biological mother, you shouldn't kill me so recklessly, I still have use value for you." ”

Leng Changxi raised his hand and made a stop gesture, and said in a deep voice: "Then I will kill you later." ”

Sima Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and boldly tentatively said, "General Leng, don't you invite me in and talk slowly?" ”

Leng Changxi replied coldly: "Go to the first floor, don't dirty my place in King Ning's mansion." In fact, Leng Changxi already knew clearly at this moment that Ning Wangfu had people he wanted to guard against.

Qin Yunuan was not at ease, so she naturally followed, but at the door of the secret room on the third floor of the first floor of the capital, Qin Yunuan hesitated, she took Leng Changxi's hand and asked gently: "If you don't want me to know, I won't go in." ”

As soon as the words came out, Qin Yunuan was dragged into his arms by Leng Changxi.

"I want you to be with me. Everything about me is not a secret to you. ”

In the room, Sima Qiu's face finally turned a little crimson, and he said quietly: "This matter starts from thirteen years ago, at that time, Western Xia and Daqi fought for many years, and the people of Daqi were miserable, just like the current Beidi and Daqi, but this time, it was Daqi who sought peace with his relatives, and it was Princess Qinghe, the most noble eldest princess of Daqi, who was married, and it was King Ning Leng Zhongyi who had admired the eldest princess for many years to escort Princess Qinghe into Western Xia. ”
