Xiao Ling's throat seemed to be choked, she opened her mouth and said, "You, you knew it before, why didn't you tell my mother earlier?" ”

Li Niangniang was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "At that time, I wanted Lu Quwei to see your father's evil deeds. ”

Xiao Ling suddenly didn't know what to say, she didn't know whether she should condemn Li Niangniang's behavior, but now she suddenly felt very sorry for her mother, a village that had raised her for so many years, but was all buried by her husband overnight, what would you think?

Ji Qingyi glanced at Li Niangniang lightly and asked, "Then what?" ”

Li Niangniang sighed and said: "After that, Lu Quwei never spoke to the master again, the turning point of the matter appeared after Xiao Ling was born, that year natural disasters were frequent, the people's crops were not harvested, I don't know who came out of the mouth of the rumors, saying that there are evil things in our palace, the first emperor heard the words and ordered someone to check, and finally the evil things were not found, but in Lu Quwei's room, turned out some letters. ”

She looked at Xiao Lingdao: "Those letters are all letters she exchanged with the general, and there is a meaning of longing in the content. The first emperor was already regretful because he couldn't get Lu Quwei, and when he saw this letter, he felt that it was even more insulting to the prestige of the royal family, but he was reluctant to punish Lu Quwei, but sent the general to prison. ”

Ji Qingyi clenched his fists and said coldly: "Faint Jun." ”

If she had known that everything about her father was due to the momentary jealousy of this faint king, she would never have let him die so clearly.

Li Niangniang turned around and walked to the bed and sat down, looked at Ji Qingyi and said lightly: "Actually, everyone can see those letters many years ago, Lu Quwei tried her best to defend at that time, that was the first time I saw her so abnormal, even if the people in the village were killed before, she had never been so abnormal." But the emperor didn't listen to her explanation, so she dodged the sword on the master's body and stabbed it on the emperor the moment the emperor turned around, but she was a woman and had never practiced martial arts, so naturally she didn't even have a chance to get close, so she was caught by the emperor. ”

"Later, the original general was not guilty of death, but there will always be some people in the court who want him to die to join him, and moreover, the general is highly meritorious, and there are many people who love him, so the emperor intended to suppress the general, so it will be a matter of course. So on the day when General Ji was given death, Lu Quwei also committed suicide. ”

Ji Qingyi was stunned, and suddenly didn't know what to say, obviously I wanted to know what happened back then, but now that I know it, I don't know what kind of mood to use to accept it.

Li Niangniang glanced at the three of them and said, "What happened back then, that's it, is the answer you want inside?" ”

Xiao Ling was a little stunned, she grabbed Ji Qingyi and ran out, Ji Qingyi was a little stunned, and almost tripped over. Xiao Ling pulled this Ji Qingyi to a corner, and Ji Qingyi looked at her in wonder and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just think the two of us are quite pitiful." ”

Ji Qingyi tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "It's okay, it's not very pitiful." ”

Xiao Ling sighed, leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky, "Don't you hate my mother?" ”

"Hate?" Ji Qingyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why should I hate? ”

Xiao Ling pursed his lips and said, "General Ji was given death because of my mother, don't you blame my mother?" ”

Ji Qingyi said: "My father is highly meritorious, even if there is no such thing, he will be calculated by the ministers in the court, rather than that, it is better because of those letters, those letters Mrs. Lu kept, my father must be very happy to know." ”

Xiao Ling tilted his head and looked at Ji Qingyi for a while, he didn't speak for a while, Ji Qingyi glanced at her and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Ling shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I just think you're not very annoying." ”

Ji Qingyi raised her eyebrows, is she being praised?

Xiao Ling bumped Ji Qingyi with his elbow and said, "Hey, you really don't want that queen's position?" ”

Ji Qingyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care about these things, whoever wants the queen's position will take it." ”

Xiao Ling patted Ji Qingyi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you in the future." ”

Ji Qingyi slapped Xiao Ling's hand away and laughed softly: "Don't underestimate me too much." ”

Xiao Ling pursed his lips and didn't speak, the two of them looked up at the sky like this, I don't know how long it took, the sun in the sky had climbed to the top of their heads, Ji Qingyi suddenly said: "Xiao Ling, do you think I look like the kind of person who is willing to stay in the deep palace?" ”

Xiao Ling's throat was a little dry, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "I don't know, not many people are willing to stay in the deep palace, but how many people are not willing to squeeze into it, what about the palace, it is a place where you can enjoy all the wealth and glory once, and once trampled into dirt, you don't want to stay here, but you also have the courage to go out, this place is destined to come in, you can't get out, so ......"

Xiao Ling tilted his head to look at Ji Qingyi, and smiled: "So, don't worry, as long as I stay here, I won't let you be wronged." ”

Ji Qingyi couldn't help laughing, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you hate me before?" ”

Xiao Ling scratched the back of his neck embarrassedly and said: "It's very simple for me to hate a person and like a person, anyway, now I feel that the two of us have the same disease, so I don't hate you anymore." ”

Ji Qingyi smiled again: "Then you like me?" ”

Xiao Ling rolled his eyes and said, "It's noon, go to dinner?" ”

Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "Eating in the palace is not called eating, it is called eating." ”

Xiao Ling rolled her eyes at her again and said, "Isn't this princess better than you know?" I say eat, eat! ”

Ji Qingyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's go back to our own homes." ”

Xiao Ling grabbed Ji Qingyi's arm and said, "I haven't been looking for my aunt for a long time, do you want to think about Ah Wu?" ”

Ji Qingyi thought that Ah Wuzhi didn't think much about it, but he thought about Xiaobai. But Ji Qingyi still nodded very cooperatively and said, "Then go find Princess Luanying?" ”

Xiao Ling nodded, pulled Ji Qingyi and walked in the direction of Princess Luanying's bedroom, it was noon, there was no one on the road, the two of them wanted to find someone to carry a sedan chair but couldn't find it, and when they walked to Princess Luanying's bedroom, Ji Qingyi was already tired and out of breath, Ji Qingyi supported her knees with her hands and gasped: "What do I think, the meal is going to be finished at this time, right?" ”

Xiao Ling glanced at Ji Qingyi and said, "It's just a little bit of a road to be tired like this, and my physical strength is really poor." ”

Ji Qingyi was tired and didn't want to be poor with her, so he raised his arm and pressed it on her shoulder and said, "Drag me in, it's because I don't have the strength." ”

Xiao Ling threw Ji Qingyi's arm away in disgust and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you, let's go in by myself." ”

Ji Qingyi's body was crooked, and she almost didn't fall directly to the ground, she steadied herself and said to Xiao Ling: "You can't do it lightly." ”

Xiao Ling turned to her sideways and said, "Come in quickly, you are too hot at noon." ”

Ji Qingyi pursed her lips and walked over, just in time to see Xiao Ling snatching the chicken leg from Ah Wu's hand. She laughed, "Why do you even rob a child's things." ”

Xiao Ling's mouth was bulging, and he couldn't speak clearly: "I'm hungry, okay, and there is only this chicken leg left, of course I want to eat it." ”

Ah Wu saw Ji Qingyi stand up very excitedly, and then ran to Ji Qingyi's side and opened his hand to hug her, Ji Qingyi hurriedly retreated and said: "You stop, there are so many oil stains on your hands, don't get on me." ”

Ah Wu licked his fingers aggrievedly, then looked up at Ji Qingyi and said, "Sister Ji, do you want to miss me?" ”

Ji Qingyi actually wanted to say that he didn't think about it, but he felt that this hurt the child's young heart, so he nodded quite against his will and said, "I think about it." ”

Ah Wute grinned happily, and then took out another chicken leg from nowhere and handed it to Ji Qingyi: "Sister Ji, this chicken leg is also for you." ”

Xiao Ling's movements of chewing meat stopped, she stared at the chicken leg and said, "It's not me who said, how can there be another one." ”

Ji Qingyi didn't answer, walked to Princess Luanying and sat down and said, "I don't eat, you can eat." ”

Wu scratched his head, then sat back down. Princess Luanying made a gesture and asked her subordinates to hand the tea to Ji Qingyi, who had actually walked for so long that she was either hungry or a little thirsty, she took a few sips of tea, and then said to Princess Luanying: "Thank you." ”

Princess Luan Ying smiled, she looked haggard, and it was the kind of haggard that could be seen from the top of her figure.

Ji Qingyi was a little worried: "Princess, are you okay?" ”

Princess Luan Ying smiled slightly and shook her head slightly. If it weren't for Xiao Ling to bring Ji Qingyi over today, Ji Qingyi would actually want to come to Princess Luan Ying in a few days, because she always felt that Princess Luan Ying was likely to have seen her father in the sea of vain.

Because when she mentioned sending wind chimes like Princess Luan Ying before, Princess Luan Ying's expression was very abnormal, not that Ji Qingyi's nerves were too sensitive, but that she didn't want to give up any clues.

The palace maids who ate in costumes added dishes and chopsticks to Ji Qingyi, and after eating a few bites, Ji Qingyi lost his appetite, Xiao Ling glanced at Ji Qingyi and said, "You won't eat it?" ”

Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "I'm full." ”

Ah Wuye was quite surprised: "Wow, it turns out that my sister eats less than my aunt." ”

It's not that Ji Qingyi eats less, but now she has no appetite to eat at all, she doesn't have a big personality like Xiao Ling, she doesn't take anything to heart, even if there is something big, she can still eat and drink. Even if she knew what happened back then, but there was still no clue at all, she was a little suspicious now, and the fact that she was told that the wind chimes were not dead was not a lie in order to let her marry into the Jin Palace.
