"Alas, yes, it is difficult to have a perfect solution in terms of affection and reason, loyalty to filial piety and Yuer's heart. And with your husband's personality and heart, alas, I think even he himself will have a hard time deciding......"Qi Feng sighed.

"That's why they did it to Wan Ning yesterday, and they knew that he would protect me even if he didn't care about himself... Do they feel that if they let him go, the outcome is unpredictable? Only if they control me do they have a chance of winning? ”

"Wan Ning," Qi Feng was very cautious: "If they are not cautious people, how can they run this huge fortress?" ”

"That's just as well. And Wan Ning has always had a question, for so many years, although Jiangnan officialdom has many weirdness, Jiangnan is still rich, and Wan Ning believes that many ministers in this fortress are aspirants and are loyal to the royal family, why would they join this fortress? Will contribute to this fortress? Is it for them to be loyal to the present day or to Yihe, to be loyal to the royal family? Although Yihe was not born to the first emperor, but he also had the blood of Taizu on his body? Also a royal vein? ”

"Please leave quickly, Madame, what you just said will be treated as if the old man did not hear. I believe that the old man is thinking about it for the sake of the night. What is the sin, let Qi Feng bear it, Qi Feng is old, and he doesn't want to see his wife in danger again. A lot of things, old decay will help you achieve it, give me some time. ”

"At the beginning, Lord Qi came to persuade Wan Ning to go to the emperor and the empress dowager to say that the reason was to reduce bloodshed and unjust cases. But Lord Qi, don't you think that if you really put the country in the hands of this kind of person, there will be even more bloody cases like the Zhou family? In order to poison me, they poisoned unrelated pregnant women, can this kind of vicious person think about the common people in the world? Didn't Lord Qi plan to be an official for many years? Wan Ning remembered that when she was in the palace, when the Queen Mother was teaching the text of Wan Ning's deliberations, she used the answer sheet of the Beijing Examination of the adults as a model text. Wan Ning remembered that in the great humanities, the last goal of taking the peaceful lights of ten thousand homes as a lifelong goal, made me understand that those who serve the world are not for fame and profit, but for the peaceful life of tens of millions of people. At the beginning, my husband persuaded Wan Ning not to leave, and the most important reason for staying with him was that he said that although I can heal the disease, I can only save one person and cure one disease, and only by ensuring that Mingjun sits firmly in the world can I truly cure the suffering of more people. ”

"Ahh I thought Jing Chun was a benevolent and kind person all my life, but she was just as cowardly as I was. And your father not only inherited Jingchun's kindness, but also your grandfather's bearing. When I met Shiyan back then, I understood why Brother Xian was jealous of him. Tang Lan had the backing of Tang Men and Yumen at the beginning, and they were all calculated, how could he dare to use a weak scholar in a district to investigate and deal with the malpractices in Jiangnan. Not being able to save them back then was really the biggest regret in Qi Feng's life...

"Lao Yu knew that out of family affection, I deliberately ignored some of Brother Xian's actions, causing both Mrs. and Bihua to be hurt to varying degrees. Please believe in the old man, this time, the old man will never care about those who will do anything to do it, even if it is the old man's own brother. I will give the young lady an explanation, and give Bihua an explanation. ”

Bihua, Qi Feng called his name in front of a junior, and Wanning's eyes jumped, is this to show her his position? Or did he imply to her that, with his close relationship with the Empress Dowager, what he did would not go against her expectations? She waited quietly...

"Xiao Jiu came over to accompany you and Qin today?" The husband gently wrapped her green silk around his hand, and when he returned home, he tried to stay with her as often as possible.

"Uh-huh," she pressed her body against him, "Applejack... Maybe Fu Xinshu has no blood relationship with you at all, not to mention her facial features, you look at her figure, bones, hands and ears, there is no resemblance to her family, but she makes me feel like Yi and more. ”

"Hmm."

"She and he were cousins, but how could they be so similar to each other? On the contrary, it is not like anyone in the Tang family. I have carefully observed Qi Feng today, and he and Qi Xian are twins. Whether it is Yihe or Xinshu, there are many differences from him, but this brother and sister are very similar. I also tried Qi Feng to ask Yihe and Xinshu if they were brother and sister, or half-brother and sister, but he didn't speak. For him, the absence of objections is a kind of acquiescence. In fact, it is also possible to think about it, that person gathered various forces in Jiangnan at the beginning, and He Yanyan was also in Jiangnan at that time, in order to incorporate the Five Poison Sect into his banner, it was normal for him to deal with He Yanyan.

Most of the princes of the previous generation are handsome and elegant. Qi Xian has always discussed major matters with that person, kidnapping his grandmother and marrying Fu Xinshu into the Jade Gate, if it weren't for Xinshu's relationship with him, he might not be willing to spend so much effort. For him, it was not so important whether he controlled the Jade Gate or not. How could he get himself in so much trouble in the Great Game?

If what Yihe said is true, he is the one who fights with his father, and it is easy to understand why he must arrange Xinshu's marriage like this, at least it is his own unfulfilled wish back then. That's why he keeps coming out of me, because I do get in the way of a lot of his plans, and I get in the way of Shin-sook and you. Now that I think about it, I fully understand why Qi Xian's expression was like that when I asked about Qi Xian Yuxian Nunnery. You don't seem surprised, but you already know that she's not related to you? ”

"I just noticed a little bit before you. When you left that day in front of the Shoho Temple, do you remember what happened? I didn't mean to ignore you, but because I had a messy mind and too many clues. I was shocked, but I really couldn't find anything in her that I shared with my family. And what makes me suspect the most is He Yanyan, although she seems very angry on the surface, but I don't think she is so angry. And when I looked at her directly, her twinkling eyes made me even more suspicious. ”

"Why didn't I notice at the time?"

"Your attention was on the kids, where do you care. Later, I thought about it carefully, although He Yanyan did not come back after I married Xinshu, but she did not come back just before the Zhenghe Temple incident, and she had been back for almost two months at that time. And in these two months, she saw Shin-sook many times, and she didn't have any warning or opposition to her being with me. Although everyone knows that my heart is in you, but at that time, she knew that Xinshu would use all kinds of means to get close to me, but she didn't give her daughter any warning. Later, I asked the nine-tailed fox, they had discussed the relationship between me and Xinshu in front of He Yanyan, and she also knew that Xinshu had learned the art of bewitching with the nine-tailed fox, and practiced it on real people many times before getting married, but she had no objections in the conversation.

I've looked up the records, including all the official records you left in your study about your grandfather. More than eight months before Xinshu was born, my grandfather was still training in Liaodong, the kind of actual training soldiers, there are countless soldiers staring at it every day, as if they are really on the battlefield, it is difficult to have the opportunity to get close to their families. Unless grandpa has her right after returning from military training, and she is a premature baby, it is difficult to match the time.

Just as you said that the appearance is too different, Xinshu's hands are very thin and the joints are very large, and the hands of the Tang family are very square. He Yanyan's own hands are not that kind. But Yihe's hand is like that, and so is one other person, the one who intercepts you at the end of Yongxiang. I asked Xiao Jiu, and he said that the man's sword hand was pale and slender, with large joints. ”

"Xiao Jiu?"

"Yes, I asked him a few days after he sent you back."

"You never said that."

"I don't want you to be sad, your mood was too low at that time, and if I mention Xinshu again, I'm afraid you will be even more unhappy. Xiao Jiu remembered quite clearly, that person was thin and thin. ”

"So Xiao Jiu already knew?"

"He didn't know, and when I asked him, I didn't think it was him. At that time, I just wanted to know more characteristics of the person who intercepted you, so that I could finally catch him and avenge our children. Later, when I thought about it, it confirmed that it should be him. However, Xiao Jiu's observation and memory are quite amazing. He may be better suited to my current position than I am. It could be like grandma. In our family, my father's generation is my third uncle, and our generation is Xiao Jiu. This kid is very perceptive, and the difference is just experience. And in terms of personality, he's a better fit than me. ”

"Oh? Why do you think so? ”

"Remember when you first met me, you said that my martial arts were terrible? That's when you see that I'm not scary, but I'm scary because I'm focused. And you are also quite familiar with Xiao Jiu, he is also very focused, whether in martial arts, in life, work and feelings, once devoted, he is very focused. ”

"It turns out that the third brother pays so much attention to him?"

"Not before, but I've been watching him closely. He was actually calmer than me a lot of the time, more single-minded than me. For example, he has known you since he was nine years old, and although he didn't talk to you much, he didn't have a chance to talk to you until he was twelve years old, to make you happy. He remembered all this very clearly. ”

"Did Xiao Jiu tell you?"

"Yes, after he rescued you from Yihe Mansion that day, he once helped accompany me in Aoki Garden, and we used to talk about the past, In fact, the people who care about you the most and love you are not only me and my eldest brother, it should be Xiao Jiu."

"Why are you telling me this today?"

"Next time, if you leave Xiao Jiu again, don't be as willful as last time, be kind to him."

"What do you say? Are you? ”
