Before Li Shuangxuan and Li Shuanglan were "buried", Liu Xiangxi took the two of them, accompanied by Xiao Luo Lingfeng and Mu Changqing, and went to the former palace in the suburbs of Beijing at night to see the tomb of Concubine Liu and the dormitory where Concubine Liu lived before her death.

When Xiao Chengqi lived in the capital and called the emperor, I don't know if he forgot this palace, neither burned down and demolished, nor did he send people to garrison, for 18 years, this palace has been barren in the suburbs of Beijing for 18 years, the lake in the garden has dried up, the weeds are all over the ground, the palace is dilapidated, and there is thick dust everywhere.

Liu Shuang's grave was simple, the grave was full of withered grass, everyone helped remove the weeds around the tomb, Li Shuangxuan and Li Shuanglan knelt in front of the tomb to meet their biological mother.

Liu Xiangxi also knelt down, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she thought that she would never return to the capital in this life, Shuang Xuan and Shuang Lan grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and they would never step into the capital half a step, although their sisters would never know who their biological parents were, but they would always be a hundred times stronger than the current situation.

Shuang Xuan couldn't show her head and had to hide, Shuang Lan decided to find out the people behind the scenes, this is also extremely dangerous, Liu Xiangxi knelt on the ground, tears fell to the ground and melted into the soil, she felt that she was still as useless as before, she couldn't save Liu Shuang back then, and now she can't save Liu Shuang's orphans.

Even Mu Changqing was very quiet, he looked at the small grave in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sad, he closed his eyes and recalled the past, as if he saw a small willow frost again, wearing the snow lotus he picked from the Tianshan Mountains on his head, carved in pink and jade, innocent and lovely.

But that was more than 30 years ago.

After worshipping Liu Shuang, Liu Xiangxi took them to Liu Shuang's dormitory, Liu Shuang left a lot of manuscripts, books, calligraphy and paintings, placed here for many years, no one touched, Li Shuangxuan found a codex, the cover was written with the words "Fengwuzhi", quite interested, immediately flipped through it, this Fengwu recorded in the Liushuang when he was a child to travel north and south, Li Shuangxuan looked interesting, and put it away.

"Huh? This short knife? This? ”

Xiao Luo found a short knife on the cabinet at the head of Liu Shuang's bed, the blade was sharp, the handle was made of gold, and the scabbard was also inlaid with colorful gems, which looked very valuable and was a rare good thing.

It's just that this short knife, how is it exactly the same as the short knife that his mother Nuo Min carries with her?

Xiao Luo carefully observed the short knife, and sure enough, he found that there was a small character engraved on the knife - Min.

And Nuo Min's short knife was engraved with the word frost, Xiao Luo pondered for a while, and suddenly thought that the woman from the Central Plains that his mother Nuo Min met back then was actually Concubine Liu? Nuo Min said that the Central Plains woman died not long after returning to the Central Plains, and this time is also right, Xiao Luo turned to look at Li Shuangxuan's back, and suddenly laughed, this is really a fate from heaven, so he put the short knife in its sheath and handed it to Li Shuangxuan.

"Frost, keep it and keep it for self-defense."

Mu Changqing found two strings of Buddha beads in a brocade box, one bright red and one blue, each string of twenty-seven beads, Mu Changqing looked at it for a long time and suddenly said: "Isn't this the crystal that I brought back to Xiao Shuang'er when I went to the South China Sea?" It turns out that she still has it! ”

"These two strings of Buddhist beads, Miss was going to give them to her child back then, to bless her child with a safe life......

Liu Xiangxi didn't say any more, but handed over the red Buddha beads to Li Shuangxuan, and the blue one to Li Shuanglan, and several people took a book of scenery, a short knife and two strings of Buddha beads, and then left in the night.

Now Li Shuanglan twisted the Buddha beads and quietly looked at the person in front of him.

"I didn't expect my sister to worship Buddha, which really surprised me."

In the coffin that day, Li Shuanglan waited for a long time, and finally heard the sound of shoveling the ground, and when the coffin lid was lifted, she saw no one else, but Sheng Jiuchao, which she was very familiar with.

Sheng Jiuchao claimed that he wanted to return to Shengjiazhuang to regain the position of the owner of the village after taking them to meet Mr. Huang, and since then he has lost his news, but he didn't expect that when Li Shuanglan saw him again, it was in this situation.

Sheng Jiuchao took Li Shuanglan to run around for several days, to the boundary of Yuzhou, and finally stopped outside a manor, this manor is ten miles away from the city, the manor is very large, quiet and spacious, the houses in the garden are scattered, there are many servants, and by the mountains and rivers, although not magnificent, but also fresh and elegant, Sheng Jiuchao personally helped Li Shuanglan get out of the car, and took her to the main hall of the garden, where there was a richly dressed son, waiting for her.

This person has a fair complexion, a pair of almond eyes, a high nose and thin lips, a three-point smile before speaking, a slender figure, holding a bamboo fan, and a bit of literati atmosphere.

"My sister has worked hard all the way, is she unwell? Oh sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Qi Li, the son of the first emperor and the noble concubine, and you are a half-brother and sister, you just need to call me brother in the future, we are a family, don't be restrained. ”

After speaking, he personally poured a cup of hot tea for Li Shuanglan, earnest, gentle and warm.

Li Shuanglan took the tea, took a sip, her eyes were fixed on Qi Li, as if she was distinguishing the authenticity, if she remembered correctly, the Emperor of Great Qi in the previous dynasty did have a son, who was made the prince at birth, but this prince was killed by Xiao Chengqi himself in the palace change, how could he escape from the palace? Could it be that Xiao Chengqi killed a fake prince back then?

And she didn't expect to be able to meet this prince who was really hidden in the people so directly, but now, no matter how bizarre things are, it is not surprising that Li Shuanglan is here.

They've been through enough in the past few months, and they don't care if they hear anything more.

"My sister was frightened this time, but it's a pity that my brother came late and couldn't save your sister, alas, the Daliang royal family is really too deceitful! Eighteen years ago, I killed our father, and now even you ...... Alas...... My sister died a pity. ”

Qi Li clenched the bamboo fan in his hand, hammered the table hard, and said angrily:

"The enmity between the Daliang royal family and my Qi family is another layer heavier!"

Li Shuanglan put down the teacup, curled his fingers together, thinking of his deceased sister, he couldn't help but look sad, his eyes turned red in an instant, tears slipped out of his eyes, and his eyes were also full of timidity.

"Sister, don't cry, it's the beginning of a serious illness, if you cry again, your body will cry, my sister doesn't have to be afraid now, there is a brother, no one dares to kill you, you can stay, tell me anything at any time, I am your only relative in this world, you don't rely on me, who can you rely on?"

Saying that, he took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away his tears for Li Shuanglan, Li Shuanglan tentatively stretched out his hand and grabbed Qi Li's sleeve, as if grasping a trace of comfort, Qi Li touched Li Shuanglan's head when he saw this, and sighed.

Li Shuanglan slowly put his forehead on Qi Li's shoulder, whimpered softly, and the tears fell even more fiercely, and in the subtle crying, Qi Li heard Li Shuanglan quietly call his brother.

Qi Li hugged Li Shuanglan in his arms, patted her back and comforted her, this scene was actually a little touching, and a few little maids who had been arranged to serve Li Shuanglan in advance actually shed a few tears.

It's really touching that a brother and sister recognize each other, but it's a pity that it's fake.

After Qi Li left, Li Shuanglan also sent away the maids who came to serve her, and stayed alone in the room, with no grief on her face, and her eyes that were still crying just now were full of cruelty.

This series of things all started with the letter she received when she was in Jiangnan, which wrote that if she didn't have an intention, the past was far away, and there was no need to see her again.

The past is far away, and there is no need to see it again.

Qi Li, Qi Li, I will kill you with my own hands to avenge my father!

Li Shuanglan quickly twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, so that she could calm down, she couldn't be carried away by hatred, she needed to carefully plan the next road.

In the next few days, Li Shuanglan lived in this Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi is called Guihongzhuang, outsiders see that this Zhuangzi is just a branch of Shengjiazhuang, do some trade and trade, Sheng Jiuchao occasionally came to see, I don't know that the owner of this Zhuangzi has a special identity, Sheng Jiuchao is only one of his subordinates, and this Guihongzhuang, not just doing business is so simple, about also hiding some important secrets of Qi Li.

"Qi Li is hidden among the people, and he will be in chaos in the future, so his army? Military? Or will some other net worth be hidden somewhere? Will it be here in Guihongzhuang? ”

Li Shuanglan sat on the fence, holding fish food in his hand, and thought while feeding the carp in the pond.

There were two maids waiting not far away, saying that they were serving her, but they were also firmly guarding her, Li Shuanglan sprinkled a handful of fish food, estimated the time, at this time Ling Feng should be able to return to the capital, that night Li Shuanglan let Ling Feng hide in the hidden place around the tomb, secretly followed, and Ling Feng followed all the way to Guihongzhuang, and after a few days, seeing that Li Shuanglan was stable, he returned to the capital to inform Xiao Luo and Li Shuangxuan of the matter.

In the palace of Prince Lie in the capital, Li Shuangxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning that her sister was fine, she was restless for several days, almost gray hair, and everyone lost a lot of weight.

Now she can finally relax a little and start her plan to go south with Xiao Luo to hunt for treasures.

"Sheng Jiuchao? I remember that this person once came to the palace to look for you, and he was Feng Lin's senior brother, right? Xiao Luo asked.

"Yes, it was he who took us to find Huang Song and confirmed that my father was the imperial doctor of the previous dynasty, and at that time, Lan'er and I already suspected that he was sent to deliberately break our background, and now I look at it, it is true."

Although Ling Feng has been a senior brother with Sheng Jiuchao for many years, he is also very surprised that Sheng Jiuchao is secretly doing things for the old people of the previous dynasty, which is tantamount to rebellion, he returned to the capital this time to report his safety to Li Shuangxuan and then returned to Guihongzhuang overnight, after all, he was not worried that Li Shuanglan was alone there.

After another two days, Ling Feng rushed back to Guihongzhuang, this road was also dusty, the sun was just right that day, Li Shuanglan was enjoying the flowers in the garden, and he saw a figure flashing overhead, and Ling Feng landed steadily in the garden.

At that time, Qi Li was coming to visit Li Shuanglan, chatting with her for a while, Qi Li often came to visit Li Shuanglan, and every time he had to talk about how the first emperor would rather die than give in eighteen years ago, how the Great Liang Emperor Xiao Chengqi was brutal, and also mention Li Shuanglan's sister who was poisoned, and asked Li Shuanglan about the mood of being poisoned, which caused Li Shuanglan to be sad and frustrated for a while, the brother and sister sighed for a long time, cursing Xiao Chengqi and Xiao Che several times, under Qi Li's encouragement, Li Shuanglan was already full of resentment towards Daliang, and he was determined to avenge the first emperor and his sister, In addition to the royal family of the Liang Dynasty and then quickly.
