She really hadn't heard of Xu Qian, and she had never even heard of this case.

"Father-in-law means that so far you don't know why Xu Qian had a conflict with the emperor?" She asked.

"Yes. I don't know yet. Sun Peng looked over calmly, "This is the emperor's business, I have no need and no right to inquire."

"Anyway, on that night twenty years ago, the guards saw Emperor Xu Qian wielding their swords in front of him. At this point, it is not unjust that he and his family were given death. ”

If you dare to use a sword against the prince, you will lose your head in any dynasty, and it is not for nothing that you will seriously raid your family and exterminate your family.

So strictly speaking, the emperor only killed Xu Qian, his wife and children, which can be regarded as a mercy for his subordinates.

Qi Mi didn't plan to dig up these old things that had nothing to do with her.

She said: "Since my father-in-law said that it was someone else who did it at that time, how can we believe that Miss Xu is indeed Xu Qian's daughter?"

"Miss Xu is nineteen years old this year, she should not have been born twenty years ago, you mean, Miss Xu is a posthumous child?"

"That's right." Sun Peng nodded, "Lingying is not the daughter of him and Mrs. Xu, but the child of him and Tongfang."

Mrs. Xu only gave birth to an eldest daughter for many years after marriage, and shortly before his death, he received a room, and the room happened to be pregnant.

"At that time, the emperor only ordered me to kill Xu Qian and his family, and did not say that he would destroy the door, and I didn't know that Tongfang was pregnant at that time.

"Before the execution, Xu Qian took the opportunity to say goodbye to me and quietly asked me to take care of the room.

"There's no reason why I shouldn't say yes. After I returned to the palace, the emperor knew that Xu Qian was dead, and he didn't pursue anything else.

"However, for the sake of safety, I still dismissed the Xu family.

"I sent Tongfang to live in Tongzhou, and opened a tea shop for her to make ends meet. In less than half a year, she actually gave birth to a baby girl, which is Lingying. ”

Qi Mi asked again: "But how can you be sure that she is Xu Qian's daughter?" ”

Sun Peng looked back at her: "Xu Qian entrusted her mother to me to take care of before he died, if it wasn't for the fact that she was pregnant, he wouldn't have done this."

"And, whose daughter is she, is it that important if you think about it?

"Xu Qian is my savior, as far as I am concerned, I just need to do what he entrusted to me.

"Isn't it against my intention to repay the favor if I want to find out if she is his daughter?"

Qi Mi had nothing to say for a while.

After thinking about it again, she looked at him again and laughed: "My father-in-law is really scheming. ”

Sun Peng raised his eyebrows.

She walked up to him and said, "Since the father-in-law saved the prisoner, and Xu Qian's death is still related to the emperor's secret, you are so honest with us, and you believe that we dare not take your affairs to the emperor again, right?"

"Because if there is really something behind the emperor's killing of Xu Qian, the emperor may also blame us."

Sun Peng smiled: "The girl is even more transparent than I imagined." ”

He said: "Since you have found Lingying's head, and I want to protect her, of course, the best way is to drag you into the water."

"Now that the prince and the girl regard this matter as ignorance, wouldn't it be beneficial for both you and me?"

Qi Yiyi also smiled: "What my father-in-law said is very right.

"It's just that the guild is so stupid that without us saying anything, take the initiative to confess to the emperor that Miss Xu is the daughter of the Qin criminal?

"Except for my father-in-law, there should be no one who can confirm that Miss Xu has anything to do with Xu Qian.

"My father-in-law told us about Xu Qian's death, just to make us worry more, so that we can dispel the matter of you and Batu from reporting to the emperor."

Sun Peng's lips pursed slightly.

Qi Yiyi sighed, and continued: "I admit that I am curious about Miss Xu's identity, but this is not our ultimate purpose of checking you.

"We never treated my father-in-law as an enemy.

"Our aim is only to stop Batu's conspiracy.

"So father-in-law, if you say that Miss Xu is the daughter of the Qin prisoner, then I will treat her as the daughter of the Qin prisoner, although I have not seen any evidence that she is.

"We're not here to target you, in fact, I'd rather be able to help you get out of this situation.

"The best way at the moment is for you to take the initiative to explain to the emperor that you were held hostage by Batu Na's contract. And as soon as possible.

"The stakes are high. If you don't go, then I will also go back and tell my brothers and ask them to go to Emperor Ming, at that time, my father-in-law will be extremely passive. ”

Sun Peng's face was a little discouraged.

When Yan Tang heard this, he also frowned and said: "The emperor has always been wise, even if Miss Xu is the daughter of the Qin criminal, after so many years, it is not necessarily that she will really kill the Xu family."

"Why doesn't my father-in-law make a wise choice?"

"No, you don't understand ......"

Sun Peng shook his head and sat down on the couch, and he suddenly became a little hesitant.

When Lingying was seven years old, her mother fell ill and died. I've been taking care of her ever since.

"I don't have children, when she was young, I held her in my arms to tease her, and I also combed her braids with my own hands, she loved to stick to me, and looked forward to me every day.

"For so many years, I have regarded her as my own relative. You won't understand how much she means to me, and you won't understand how much I mean to her—

"We depend on each other, and there is no one closer to each other in the world.

"She is very similar to his father's facial features, and I don't dare to risk letting the emperor know about her, for fear that the emperor will not allow her.

"I can't imagine how she will live the rest of her life if I die......"

He sat down, and the calm and dashing palm print eunuch in Su Ri no longer existed.

When Qi Yiyi heard this, he didn't feel silent.

Looking at Xu Lingying, she said again: "What's the matter with her injury?" ”

"Fell." When Xu Lingying was mentioned, Sun Peng's tone always softened suddenly, and he said: "Four years ago, I accidentally fell off my horse and rolled off the cliff.

"Because I couldn't come forward to ask a good doctor, the drag and dragging became more and more serious.

"Later, I took her to Jingshi, always thinking about whether I would have the opportunity to ask the imperial doctor to take a look, but how easy is it to say? To this day, I have not dared to act. ”

Qi Yiyi lifted the futon and looked at it, only to see that Xu Lingying's two legs were already very thin.

She frowned and said, "Since this is the case, my father-in-law should explain it to the emperor." ”

"Does my father-in-law think that now he just needs not to agree to Batu? If that's all there is to it, why would they tempt you to sign that deal?

"You are in a dilemma now, and you can't get rid of Da Yin no matter what.

"The emperor must attach more importance to state affairs than to private affairs, if you mistake the state system, the absolute consequences are only the most serious."
