Chapter Ninety-Five: The Cold Moon and the Cold Dew (1)
The figure turned around, and by the moonlight, Su Mi could see his face clearly, it turned out to be Qi Hao!
Su Mi was really surprised this time, she looked this prince up and down, she would actually see him here?!
Qi Hao had already seen her, and looked at her with the same shocked eyes.
"You ......" both of them asked at the same time, but they stopped at the same time.
Su Mi hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, brushed away a clump of vine stumps hanging from the half-burned flower shelf, stepped out of the shadows, and greeted: "I didn't expect to see His Royal Highness the Prince here, it really surprised the concubine." ”
Qi Hao watched her approach, turned around, and looked at Jing Shengzhai's half-burned gate: "Isn't Lian Jieyu also here?" If this king's memory is correct, it should be the time for the night banquet in the Lingxi Pavilion, right? ”
"Can't we just leave the table and relax during the night feast? However, it was really unexpected for the concubine to be here at this time. Su Mi said with a smile.
"Will the scattered mind be scattered to such a gloomy place? Jieyu's taste is really unusual. Qi Hao asked mockingly.
"So what did the prince come to the moon for? Don't tell the concubine that it's for the sake of enjoying the scenery. Su Mi retorted without showing weakness.
“…… I'm looking at the project here, and I'm going to tear it down tomorrow. Qi Hao hesitated and said.
Only then did Su Mi remember that Qi Hao was responsible for the supervision of the reconstruction project of the Ministry of Industry. She looked at the Jingsheng Zhai in front of her, which had been burned to the ground almost white, with only a few black pillars and horizontal railings left, which would be demolished tomorrow!
"It's just an ordinary palace of a concubine, and the inspection project actually requires the prince of labor to come and inspect it in person?" Su Mi said with a bit of irony. She didn't believe that Qi Hao stayed in the palace in the middle of the night in such a late watch to fulfill his duties.
"Since it's just an ordinary palace where the concubine lives, how can the favorite concubine of the Great Qi Heavenly Son come to watch and visit on such a good night?" Qi Hao asked rhetorically in the same tone.
Because of the rebuttal, he unconsciously turned his head, Su Mi was looking up at him, and by the moonlight, she suddenly noticed that his eyes were a little red, could it be ......
Thinking of this incredible possibility, Su Mi was stunned
Qi Hao saw Su Mi staring at him blankly, suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly turned his head away from looking at her.
Su Mi was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe what she saw.
"You ......" Su Mi originally didn't believe that Qi Hao came here at such a time because of some hellish project, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly said: "You and Concubine Miaoyi ......"
"By the way, you are the old man that Concubine Miaoyi talked about, the grievances of Concubine Miaoyi's family were told to her, and you also helped her collect the funeral......" Su Mi suddenly remembered that when the two talked that night, Concubine Miaoyi said that there was an old man in the palace who helped her investigate the truth of the year outside the palace, and worshiped her family.
"How do you know? Did she even tell you that? Qi Hao turned his head sharply, and those amber eyes looked at her.
Su Mi's face changed, and a chance encounter here at this time exposed the unknown secrets of the two of them.
His eyes were surprisingly cold and fierce, flashing with a black and cold luster, and Su Mi couldn't help but tremble.
"Did Concubine Miaoyi tell you?" Sensing his gaffe, Qi Hao put his tone flat and calm, and asked again.
"Concubine Miaoyi did tell me some old things in the palace, and pointed out a lot of things to my junior." Su Mi smiled indifferently and said vaguely.
"Old?" Qi Hao smiled, "What old things?" How did the Wang family kill her family? Now that Su Mi already knew, Qi Hao simply stopped hiding it.
Su Mi was a little uncomfortable with such a confession, and she laughed softly: "Concubine She didn't mention too much about herself, she just said some unknown secrets about this palace, these secrets must be familiar to the prince, why should the prince be in a hurry?" The concubine didn't know much, otherwise she wouldn't be surprised to see the prince here. ”
Since Concubine Miaoyi and Qi Hao are connected, the secret about Qi Long's life experience must be known, and the rumor at the beginning of Qi Long's succession is probably the result of cooperation between the two. Su Mi thought quickly in his mind.
"With Concubine Miaoyi, the concubine is just a friend who can talk to, I really didn't expect to have such a relationship with the prince." Su Mi asked tentatively.
Qi Hao was silent for a while, looked up at the crumbling palace wall in front of him, sighed, and suddenly said: "It's all some old things in the palace, and these things don't have to be hidden from you." Back then, the first emperor wanted to pass on my unsuccessful son to her. "It's a pity that she refused." ”
"Of course." Su Mi shrugged and said,
As long as you think about it, you will know that when the first emperor passed the stepson of Concubine Miao, it must have been that Concubine Miao had just had a miscarriage, and when her favor had not faded, the first emperor would be so considerate of his favorite concubine, but the difference between Qi Hao's age and Concubine Miaoyi was only five or six years old at most, and Qi Hao may have been only eleven or twelve years old at that time, so it doesn't matter, but after three or four years, I am afraid that there will be gossip in the palace.
After listening to Su Mi's explanation, Qi Hao suddenly looked back at her.
Su Mi was stunned, her eyes were complicated and indescribable, which made her heart beat rapidly.
"I see, I thought she also hated my eyes." Qi Hao's voice trembled slightly.
Su Mi was a little surprised, she had only crossed paths with Qi Hao three or twice, but she already knew that he was an extremely sharp and shrewd person, so she couldn't figure out such a simple truth?
"She was only sixteen years old when she first entered the palace, and I was eleven years old at that time," Qi Hao sighed, and suddenly recalled that simple meeting in his mind.
Su Mi tasted the meaning of Qi Hao's words, she could hear that Qi Hao had feelings for Concubine Miaoyi, although she couldn't tell what kind of nature this feeling was, but it must be sincere and deep. This is the so-called concern is chaos, so that such a reasonable person can not see such a simple fact clearly.
Qi Hao faintly recalled his past......
Later, although Miaoyi refused to adopt him, she has always taken good care of him. It's like his mother or sister, and then he turned sixteen years old, although his father, who has always despised and despised him, doesn't even disdain to do it for himself, but he still follows the rules of the palace to let himself go out of the palace and enter the court to experience. At that time, he joined the military department, and by chance, he learned the truth about the death of her father and brother. After hesitating for a while, he told her anyway. After that, it was she who tried her best to design and restore her favor, and went to great lengths to please her flattering enemies. It's a pity that after planning a long-term plan, nothing started, and his unbridled father died......
Su Mi could hear that Qi Hao did not have the slightest respect for his father.
Qi Hao recounted the intersection between himself and Concubine Miaoyi in a flat tone, as if he was telling an irrelevant old story. Most of these things are well-known facts in the palace, and they will be known after a little investigation, and the truth hidden behind it is not difficult to guess according to Su Mi's cleverness, and Qi Long simply no longer conceals it.
He shook his head, "I shouldn't have told her about that back then. ”
"Why not?! What's wrong with her avenging her family? If you live in a false hypothetical scenario, that is the real misfortune. Su Mi said.
"What is real and what is false?" Qi Hao retorted: "The most important thing is that she can live happily, even if her family really loves her, they don't want their daughter and sister to live in hatred day and night in order to avenge them." ”
Su Mi's face changed.
