It was a painting, or rather a missing person notice.

And this missing person notice she saw in the pile of paintings in Tuoba Xun in the Beidi Palace.

Exactly the same one.

Looking at this missing person notice, Yun Qixi was shocked a lot, she never knew that the painting in the old beggar's hand was the missing person notice about Lan Qi seventeen years ago.

Her gaze slowly moved to the face of the old beggar, who stared at the portrait with a stunned expression.

He has always carried this portrait with him, and he must have looked at it from time to time, and the surrounding area has been damaged, but the facial outline of the woman in the portrait is still not difficult to distinguish.

"I think I've seen her somewhere." Yun Qixi said hesitantly.

The old beggar raised his head suddenly, reached over and pinched her wrist, followed by a quick realization that he was too impulsive, and quickly let go of his hand, and asked anxiously, "Where is she?" ”

"I just think it's like the person in this portrait, but I'm not sure if it's or not, so you'd better not get your hopes up too much, lest you be disappointed."

There is no hope, there is no disappointment, if that Ah Lan is not the Lan Qi he is looking for, wouldn't that make him even more disappointed? So Yun Qixi gave him a preventive shot in advance to prepare him psychologically.

"What's your relationship with this Lanqi?" Yun Qixi asked curiously.

The old beggar put away the scroll and looked at the dark sky outside the City God Temple in confusion.

"She's my wife."

In fact, Yun Qixi guessed it.

"And how did you get separated?"

The old beggar recalled, "When I knew her, she was a girl in a big family in the capital, and the lady was very good to her, and she married me to be the master of the lady, but then one day, the lady died of childbirth, and she suddenly disappeared, and I only did one thing over the years, which was to find her, but I have been looking for so many years, and there has been no whereabouts of her, and I have also asked the Bodhisattva, but the Bodhisattva has never given me the slightest instruction, so I said that it is useless to ask the Bodhisattva." ”

Listening to his narration, Yun Qixi's heart beat fast, as if something truth was slowly emerging.

That night, Yun Qixi returned to the Guogong Mansion and couldn't sleep.

Shan Ye, Tuoba Xun, and the old beggar, they are all looking for Lan Qi, but is that Lan Qi her mother?

If so, why didn't she recognize her?

Tossing and turning and unable to sleep, she simply got up, put on her clothes, and walked out.

Going out from the warm quilt, facing the cold wind of the winter night, Yun Qixi was so cold that he wrapped his coat tightly, and unconsciously walked outside the courtyard of the cloudy wind.

It was late at night, but the light was still on in his study, and it seemed that he hadn't slept yet.

After a moment's hesitation at the door of the study, she knocked on it.

After a while, the door opened, and Yun Fenglie found that she was a little surprised, "Qixi, why haven't you slept so late?" ”

"Dad, I want to talk to you." Yun Qixi said.

Yun Fenglie looked at her for a while and nodded, "Come in." ”

Since she pretended to be the identity of this second lady, she seems to have not taken the initiative to talk to this titular father for fear of being exposed.

"You want to hear about your mother?"

Yun Fenglie actually saw through her.

Yun Qixi was speechless for a while, and after Yun Fenglie sat down, he pointed to a chair opposite Xiaoji.

Yun Qixi hesitated for a while, but still sat down.

Yun Fenglie sat back in his chair, looking tired and weak. The dim light in the study made him look like a sense of vicissitudes.

"King Beidi is making a big move to move your mother's tomb, you must be very curious."

Compared with the second young lady's real life experience, what she wants to know more is what is the relationship between Lan Qi and them, why are the emperor and King Beidi looking for her?

"Dad, I heard someone mention a person named Lan Qi a few days ago, who is she?"

She didn't follow his words and asked, but suddenly mentioned Lan Qi, Yun Fenglie glanced at her in surprise, and then said, "Lan Qi was a girl who served your mother back then, and your mother trusted her more back then, and treated her like a sister." Later, after your mother died, Lan Qi suddenly disappeared, in fact, I also wanted to find her and ask what happened on the night Ah Luo gave birth. ”

It turned out that Lan Qi really had something to do with Mu Jinluo. The lady in the old beggar's mouth is Mu Jinluo.

Seeing that Yun Qixi didn't speak for a long time, Yun Fenglie turned his head sideways to look at her.

"Actually, I know you're not Tanabata."

These words pierced my ears like thunder.

Yun Qixi suppressed the shock in her heart and tried her best to look at it calmly, she couldn't panic, because Yun Fenglie was also extremely calm when she said this.

"In fact, as early as last year's celebration banquet for His Royal Highness King Jin, I knew that you were not Qixi Festival."

Yun Fenglie's thoughts went back to a year ago. Yun Qixi also began to think back to what happened that day.

That night, Yun Lanyue questioned her authenticity in public in the Taihe Palace, and even asked her to drop blood for a family test, but she skillfully avoided the past, so that the results of the verification confirmed that she was indeed Yun Fenglie's biological daughter.

If the second young lady was really the blood and blood of Beidi King Tuoba Xun, then everything she did that night was completely self-defeating.

So that night, Yun Chong knew her fake identity and couldn't hold his breath to expose her. And after that night, Yun Fenglie's attitude towards her obviously changed slightly.

"Why didn't you debunk it then?"

Yun Qixi asked calmly.

Yun Fenglie sighed and said slowly, "As Chong'er said, even if you are not, I would rather be you, at least then, Qixi is still alive." ”

"You're not afraid of any conspiracy and ambition I have?"

Yun Fenglie laughed, "What conspiracy? What ambitions? If it is really ambitious, how can he refuse the identity of the crown princess? Your thoughts and actions are so different from Tanabata, I was really wary of you at first, but then I found out that you are actually very simple. I think your presence may be a providence. ”

Yun Qixi always thought that she was very well disguised, but she didn't expect that her identity had already been exposed, but they still continued to let her play without exposing her.

"What did you say now?"

The two of them were talking about things that were not calm, but their tones were very calm.

"When I married A Luo, she was pregnant with the child of King Beidi, and now Dayan and Beidi are in a stalemate, if Qixi is still alive, which side will she stand on? I know that you have King Jin in your heart, and you will definitely stand on King Jin's side. ”

Yun Qixi understood what he meant, and smiled faintly, "I made a choice to follow my heart, but I don't know how Ah Luo will choose?" Would she rather stay in Dayan or go to Beidi? Since she was pregnant with King Beidi's child, it means that they are happy with each other, why did the emperor refuse to let her go? Are you the one who married her? ”

The grievances and grievances of the previous generation seem to be too complicated, saying that she has nothing to do with them, but she feels that it doesn't seem to be completely unrelated, if it doesn't matter, how can her mother Lan Qi explain it?

Yun Fenglie's thoughts seemed to go back to many years ago, when he and the emperor were both young.

"When the emperor was young, he had a big playful heart, and often came out of the palace to play, and fell in love with Ah Luo at first sight. Ah Luo was brilliant in the capital back then, although she was a dancing girl but different from the ordinary dancing girl, she was like a hollow valley orchid, fresh and refined, but cold and arrogant, even the emperor could eat her closed door. At that time, there were many princes and grandsons who liked her. ”

"You've got a crush on her, too." Cloud Tanabata interface.

Yun Fenglie nodded, "But I don't dare to say it, my mind is only hidden in my heart." The more she refused, the more she aroused the emperor's desire to conquer. At that time, the queen mother was still there, and the queen told the queen mother that the emperor liked a dancing girl, and the queen mother did not let the emperor leave the palace. But the emperor will ask me to bring a letter to her, you can't understand my mood at that time, obviously I like her very much, but I still have to help others deliver letters to her. ”

Yun Qixi smiled, "But this also invisibly gives you the opportunity to have more contact with her." ”

Hearing her words, Yun Fenglie smiled bitterly.

"Ah Luo has a clear love and hatred, and he doesn't like the emperor, so she never reads the letter he gave her. The emperor always asked me what she had said after reading the letter, but I didn't dare to tell the emperor that she hadn't read his letter, so I could only talk nonsense. ”

Yun Qixi smiled, "Then didn't you commit the crime of deceiving the king?" ”

Yun Fenglie smiled, and then said, "It was in those days when the emperor was grounded by the Queen Mother, Ah Luo fell in love with Prince Beidi who came to Dayan to play. The emperor and Tuoba Xun were originally friends, but after knowing this, he tore his face with Tuoba Xun and drove him out of Dayan, and almost caused a big war. ”

Yun Qixi was puzzled, "Since the emperor likes her so much, why would she marry you?" ”

"At that time, Ah Luo was already pregnant, and it was impossible for the Queen Mother to let the emperor marry an innocent dancing girl, the emperor originally planned to marry her even against the Queen Mother's wishes, but Ah Luo refused, Ah Luo had already seen my thoughts about her and asked me if I was willing to marry her. For the sake of her reputation, the emperor acquiesced in marrying her, but I really never thought she was innocent, but"

Speaking of this, Yun Fenglie smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Ah Luo married into the Guogong Mansion, I have never touched her, really, even if she is pregnant and married, I still feel that she is holy and cannot be blasphemed, but her heart is not in Dayan, no matter what I do, I can't touch her heart. I thought that I was close to the water, there were many opportunities, just waiting for her to give birth, and I had a lot of time to take care of her and impress her, but I didn't expect her to leave so soon. I was not in the capital that day, but I suddenly learned of her death, do you know what kind of mood I was in at that time? I just felt like the sky was falling. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Yun Fenglie's eyes were slightly moist, and there was a glow in his eyes flickering in the candle flame.

Yun Qixi nodded, of course she could understand that feeling, and suddenly parted with life and death, which was the pain of cutting bones and cutting out her heart.

Yun Fenglie took a deep breath and sighed, "Tuoba Xun is also an infatuated person, he has not married for so many years, and he is bent on moving Ah Luo's tomb to Beidi. But the emperor is the emperor, he also has his arrogance, he has been stubborn for so many years, how can he let go easily? ”
