Meng Qi saw that he couldn't get up when he knelt down, so he also leaned down and squatted in front of him, "My subordinates don't know what you want to investigate." Even if it's about your mother, what's not to deal with? ”

"That's because you don't know who my mother is." In his words, he was full of sorrow.

Meng Qi didn't dare to ask who his mother was. It was like a taboo, for many years, no one dared to ask, even if he mentioned it today, he didn't dare to ask, just waiting for Zhou Ye to tell him.

Zhou Ye took a deep breath and spit out softly: "My mother is the sister of the current emperor, Princess Yanming. ”

"Huh?" Meng Qi was so shocked that his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, he couldn't believe it: "My imperial aunt? She...... She even has a son? ”

Cai Ye smiled coldly, "Yes, she also has a son, and it is me." You can't even think of it, do you? Speaking of which, you should call me a cousin. ”

"That...... Even if the imperial aunt is your mother, why is Su Yuqi involved? Stretched out his hand and pulled the dish again: "Pavilion Master, let's get up and speak, the sect master has already left, you don't have to kneel." ”

Zhou Ye got up from the ground and sat on the chair, his expression was still a little sad, and said, "Su Yuqi's parents died in an assassination, you know?" ”

Meng Qi still sat down across from him and nodded subconsciously. What he heard today was too terrifying for him, and he hadn't digested it for a while.

"Back then, Su Jia found a jade pendant on the assassin's body, and the jade pendant was painted with the pattern of the Xuandong flower. Xuandong flowers are rare, there are only a few plants in the Mao Min royal family, and outsiders are difficult to see, and they dare not use it as decoration. ”

Meng Qi nodded: "I've heard of this. Actually, as the prince of the Meng family, I have never seen a real Xuandong flower. It is said that it is the princess of each generation who is responsible for taking care of it, but it is a secret matter which princess it is. In the generation of the imperial aunt, there were many princesses, but I don't know which princess is taking care of them, and no one knows who has this honor in the current generation. Only the emperors of each generation know. Meng Qi looked at Yu Ye, "Do you mean to say that the assassination case back then was related to the Mao Min royal family?" ”

Zhou Ye said: "Su Jia shouldn't know that the pattern is the pattern of the Xuandong flower, otherwise, Su Yuqi should have found out about Meng's head a long time ago." But then she saw this kind of ornament on Gao Ji and the assassins who assassinated Wang Zhi, she was so smart, she should have started to investigate the Mao Min royal family. ”

"You doubt...... Relationship with aunt? Meng Qi didn't want to ask this, but he still had the courage to ask, out of concern and curiosity.

Dish Ye sighed helplessly, "I've seen this tattoo on my mother's arm. When my mother left me, I was three years old, and although I was enlightened early, I was still a child after all, and I thought it was beautiful when I saw the pattern on my mother's arm. Later, when I was six years old, my mother was seriously ill and died, and my father-in-law brought me to see my mother for the last time, and my mother gave me this jade pendant. ”

He untied a jade pendant worn by a black rope from his neck, and the jade pendant looked like an ordinary jade pendant on the surface, and the Guanyin Buddha statue carved on it was also ordinary, which was not much more exquisite than the goods on the market. But he turned the jade pendant over, and with a slight knock on the back of the jade pendant, a small gap opened on the edge of the jade pendant.

The extremely thin slit can only be seen in a trance under the light, and the fingers of the dish Ye pushed along the gap, and there was a slight sound, and the jade pendant was like a delicate box, and the lid of the box was opened, revealing a different world inside.

On the warm jade, a black Xuandong flower is carved on both sides, which is enchanting and dazzling.

Meng Qi was stunned.

"My mother gave me this, saying that it was very important and that I should keep it. I used to think that this was just a relic, a thought that my mother had left me. He suddenly laughed to himself, "Now, it seems that it is not. It is a symbol of motherhood. ”

"You...... Are you saying that the imperial aunt is the guardian of the previous generation of Xuandong flowers? Meng Qi was stunned, "I, I heard that at that time, the imperial aunt was bullied by the women in the harem because she was beautiful, and sometimes she couldn't even eat a full meal, and finally became seriously ill, and no one cared about it. How could she be the guardian of the Xuandong flower? Lord, this is unbelievable. ”

"Yes or no, you will know only after verification."

But there was not much hope in Ye Ye's expression. He also seemed to have decided that his mother was that person.

Meng Qi couldn't help but comfort him: "Everything is still inconclusive, you don't have to worry too much, take 10,000 steps back, even if the imperial aunt is the guardian of Xuandong Flower, it may not be her who ordered the assassination of Su Ze and his wife." ”

If...... If it is Princess Yanming, then the pavilion master and Su Xiaowangye...... No, you can't think of it that way, it's too inhumane for such a thing. Meng Qi hurriedly stopped the crazy thoughts in his head.

Zhou Ye held the jade pendant, slowly closed it, his fist gradually clenched, until the knuckles turned white, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were so sudden that he almost crushed the piece of jade, Meng Qi was so frightened that he hurriedly held his hand, "Pavilion Master, don't push yourself too hard, isn't it still inconclusive?" ”

Zhou Ye stood up suddenly, paced back and forth a few steps uneasily, and suddenly said, "Meng Qi, I don't want to check, Hui Yushi." ”

Meng Qixin said, whether it is Huiyu Master, this matter will be stopped, it will be good for everyone, but before he could finish thinking about it, Zhou Ye changed his attention again: "No, I still have to investigate." I can't be so confused, Yu'er is still waiting for the truth, and Yushi is still waiting for those who have done all the evil things to be brought to justice. ”

Meng Qi felt helpless.

Hesitant and unorganized, where is this still the decisive Emperor of the Punishment Heart Pavilion? It can be seen that the word love is the most powerful weapon in the world, and no matter how powerful a hero you are, you can only surrender if you meet it.

Meng Qi couldn't make a decision for him, so he could only wait for his answer, but he still persuaded gently: "Pavilion Master, it's too late today, let's rest first and make a decision tomorrow." ”

He may not be able to sleep tonight, but it's good to have some time to think.

Cai Ye took a deep breath, "Okay, you go back and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." "He did need time to calm himself down.

"Well, I'll let someone bring hot water in, you wash the dust on your body, sleep well, and wait for tomorrow." Meng Qi retreated, leaving him alone in the upper house, and after going out, he ordered someone to bring hot water into the house.

He withdrew his clothes and buried himself in the hot water, and the scorching sensation spread throughout his body, making his brain even more confused.

Go on? Stop it? Continuing means that it is possible to lose Su Yuqi. Stopping, it means putting the initiative in Su Yuqi's hands, with Su Yuqi's temperament, he will never give up, if she finds out the result first, if that result is the result he is afraid of, he will still lose Su Yuqi in the end.

But it may take a lot of trouble for Su Yuqi to find out, and before that, he can still have a happy time with her.

Can...... Can it really? He already has a pimple in his heart, and no matter how much he does, he can't go back to the past.

yes, no matter how you go, you can't go back to the way it used to be.

The water in the tub turned from hot to cold, and his mood became more and more irritable and tangled.

The waiter waited outside, listening to the movement inside, there was no movement inside for a long time, and the water should be cold, so he couldn't help but beckon: "Childe? Son? Have you finished washing? ”

Zhou Ye suddenly came back to his senses, crawled out of the water, casually pulled a bath towel to wrap his body, and said, "After washing, carry the water out." ”

The waiter came in and carried the water out, and asked him cautiously, "Does Childe need anything else?" Why don't you bring some supper? ”

"No need. Go down, all of you. Zhou Ye directly refused. It was late at night, and he was indeed hungry, but he had no appetite.

The waiter did not dare to be disobedient, agreed to exit the room, and intimately helped him close the door.

He changed into a clean undershirt, his hair was still wet, and he lay down on the bed.

These days, although I miss Su Yuqi very much, but because of the limited time, there is less time that can be allocated to Su Yuqi, and now I can't sleep, I just feel that my heart is full of Su Yuqi, her voice and smile, her teeth and claws, she is like a cat by his side and a monster to outsiders...... Everything about her, she had encroached on every inch of his nerves, on all his thoughts.

The inside of the bed is cold. Normally, there would always be a small lump of soft things in that position, ready to tease him. It's so soft that people are addicted to it, and they can't wake up anymore.

But in the end, you still have to face it.

The dark night sky finally turned grayish, the light of the morning light reflected through the window, and the eyes that had not been closed suddenly widened - still to be faced. Anyway, I want to give Su Yuqi a real answer.

She had been searching for that answer for eighteen years, and she had endured all the hardships for that answer, even if she would eventually lose her, she would let her fulfill her wish.

After quickly getting dressed and washing, Meng Qi sent someone to invite him to breakfast, and he went with the servants. As soon as he entered the door, Meng Qi saw that although his face was a little pale, his expression was already the same as usual, and he knew that he had made a choice, but he didn't ask what the choice was, he just said, "Come and have breakfast." ”

Yin Chengnian looked at his pale face and the faint dark circles under his eyes, and asked, "Master, you didn't sleep last night?" Why is your face so bad? ”

She originally wanted to say if he was acting alone, but because there were people next to her in the house, it was difficult to ask, so she could only ask vaguely.

Dish Ye sat down and didn't answer her, "Let's eat first." There is something to do after eating. ”
