"My mother's surname is Qi, and all the firms under my name are Qi's firms." He said with a smile on his lips, and his eyebrows were full of pride: "My mother is a well-known figure in Jiangnan, not only is the business house well managed, but also the people are kind. ”

"She and my father met during disaster relief. At that time, he claimed to be a petty official in the household department. ”

"My mother saw that he was good-looking, and he was elegant and generous, so she had a good impression. My father also liked my mother's elegance and beauty. My father soon came to see my grandfather and begged him to allow my mother to go to Beijing with him. ”

"My grandmother didn't get early, and my grandfather brought up my mother alone, and I was most afraid that one day I would get sick and be gone, leaving my mother alone. Now that she has found a good husband, she will naturally not stop her, so she immediately packed her bags and prepared to go to Beijing. ”

"But after the disaster relief ended, my father suddenly told my mother that he was not a household official, but King Xiangong, and he came here to conceal his identity to secretly investigate official corruption!"

"Who doesn't know the name of King Xiangong? One of the most valued princes of the first emperor! It is very likely that he will be the prince or even the emperor in the future. ”

"Have there been merchant girls as concubines in all dynasties? My mother hated him for concealing his identity and associating with her, and even more complained about his low business status. ”

"My mother doesn't want to be despised by others, and she doesn't want to live like a canary. On the grounds that he didn't dare to save the clinging magnates, he rejected him. ”

"But within two months, my mother found out that with me, my mother was reluctant to have an abortion and did not dare to enter Beijing. After consulting with my grandfather, he decided to give birth to me in secret. ”

"You know what? My name in Jiangnan is Qi Yan. Yan Qi smiled bitterly: "I didn't know the meaning of this name at that time, until I met Wu Dehou when I was eight years old. ”

"Wu Dehou came with a letter from my father. My mother has already looked down on the relationship between men and women, and I hope that my grandfather and I can be safe. ”

"Wu Dehou saw that my mother had made up her mind, so he planned to start with me. He asked me, would I like to see my father? ”

"How can you not want to? Other children have fathers, but I don't, how many times have I been scolded and come home crying. ”

My mother finally agreed, and I got on the big ship that escorted us with great curiosity and anticipation. But the boat sank not long after it left the Jiangnan realm, and my mother didn't even fish out a body. ”

Yan Qi's voice lowered, his eyes flashed with water, but there was still a smile on his lips, he looked at her and asked, "Do you know who Wu Dehou is?" ”

Jiang Lingran understood what Yan Qi meant.

As soon as he opened his mouth to answer, he saw the tears in his eyes fall, and the two crystal ones smashed on the placket of his ink-colored clothes and disappeared.

Her eyes trembled, and for a moment her heart felt like she had been punched, sullen and sore, and said dumbly: "... It is the father of the crown princess. ”

She didn't expect that the death knot between Yan Qi and the prince would be tied here!

Yan Qi smiled coldly and said with emotion: "The prince's supreme henchman! ”

It turned out that the emperor doted on Yan Qi not only because he had left him in the people for many years and wanted to compensate, but also because of his mother.

And what about the Prince? Is it guilty, or do you really like Yan Qi, the half-brother?

Human nature is cold, especially royal, Jiang Lingran's mind is messy, is she wrong? Is the prince really such a scheming and gloomy person?

Yan Qi wiped his face indifferently, and then said: "After my mother was buried, he rushed over. Let me go with him, I hate him so much, if it weren't for him my mother wouldn't die. He saw that I was really reluctant to resist, and he couldn't bear to see my grandfather lose his daughter and grandson in his later years. He temporarily dismissed the idea of taking me away. ”

"Until I was fifteen years old, my grandfather died of illness, and in the same year, he ascended the throne."

Jiang Lingran remembered something and said, "When you entered Beijing, Wu Dehou moved to Zhezhou?" Is there any relationship between the two? ”

"I drove him away." Yan Qi sneered with a smile: "I broke the prince's arm, should he be angry?" But every time he sees me, he looks like a brother and a hot brother, isn't he deliberately pretending? ”

Thinking from Yan Qi's point of view, it is no wonder that he will come to this conclusion. But Jiang Lingran had experienced a previous life, and she really couldn't believe that the prince who still came forward to protect Yanqi in a precarious situation was vicious.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lingran said: "The emperor is ashamed of you and your mother, if it was really Wudehou Yang who violated the yin back then, do you think the emperor will let Wudehou go out of Beijing alive?" ”

Yan Qi fell silent.

That's exactly what he doesn't understand!

The emperor didn't kill Wu Dehou, but just drove people to Zhezhou.

And this rush is still what he strongly demands!

But apart from Wu Dehou, who else knows about the existence of their mother and son?

Who can grasp the whereabouts of the big ship so accurately, and secretly manipulate it?

Jiang Lingran also fell silent.

This idea has been ingrained in Yan Qi's mind for many years, and it cannot be changed overnight.

And she can't be absolutely sure, the prince really has nothing to do with that matter.

Unless there is now evidence to prove the innocence of Wu Dehou and the crown prince... Jiang Lingran shook her head secretly, she didn't have the ability to investigate the old matter many years ago, let alone that this matter was a royal secret.

Moreover, if there were really traces left back then, even if the emperor didn't look for it, Wu Dehou and the prince would definitely find it in order to prove their innocence.

After thinking about it, she decided to start with the other side.

As long as Yan Qi is kept away from Yan Gu, can his tragic ending in his previous life be changed?

Jiang Lingran said: "I heard that the prince entered Beijing for the second time, and the person who went to pick you up was His Royal Highness King Xin?" ”

Yan Qi nodded, and said with a little melancholy: "Among all the princes, the fourth brother's background is the lowest. ”

Jiang Lingran knows this.

Yan Gu's biological mother was a palace maid, and after her death, she was only posthumously crowned a nobleman, and among the princes, she was the most unconnected.

But this Yan Gu, who has the most connections and the lowest background, relied on one opportunity after another that was absolutely beneficial to him in his previous life to ascend to the throne!

Recalling the palace banquet in his previous life, Yan Gu looked at Yan Qi with the sneering and disgusted eyes, Jiang Lingran suddenly had a thought in his mind, what if those opportunities were all created by Yan Gu?!

Will it? How deep his scheming must be!

Jiang Lingran's hands and feet were cold.

Yan Qi didn't notice Jiang Lingran's abnormality, and was still saying: "... guessed that the emperor was worried that if he sent a high-status prince, I would be snubbed, so he specially sent the fourth brother. ”

Jiang Lingran listened to his salutation and said, "Gongzi seems to be close to His Royal Highness King Xin?" ”

Yan Qi understood what she meant, and looked at her with a slight warning: "The fourth brother and the prince are different. ”

Jiang Lingran didn't see his warning eyes, and said, "What's the difference?" ”

Yan Qi suppressed his anger and explained to her: "When the fourth brother entered Jiangnan, the first thing he did was to visit my grandfather and my mother, and then he went to pick me up. Before leaving, he went to say goodbye, saying that he would take good care of me and reassure them. ”

"He has an indifferent temperament, he doesn't chase fame, he doesn't pursue profit, those dirty and treacherous things have never happened to him!"
