It was a dark night, with no moon or stars, which was not a good sign.

The Xiangfu lit a candle early, no matter how dark the night was, Ye Xiangfu was also the brightest star in Yudu.

However, there was a room in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and not only was there no sound at all, but even the light that came through from other places seemed to be swallowed up by the thick darkness.

"The blade hasn't come back yet?"

"Who knows where he went, he didn't have yin or yang all day long, and he was disgusted when he saw him."

"Be quiet, the wall has ears."

"What are you afraid of, what's the use of a blade without a blade?"

"He is, after all..."

"What is it? It's just a wild species, and you really think you can be the young son of this Ye Xiangfu? I don't look at his virtue, and I am not worthy to lift my shoes. ”

It is Ye Xiang's two sons.

An arrogant brute, a cowardly waste.

Qi Zhen sat in the room expressionlessly, listening to the voices of the two people, and the sound of their footsteps gradually drifted away.

If it had been before, his sword would have been around their necks. But tonight, he wasn't in the mood at all.

He had been sitting motionless in his room all day.

Mother, Tianji, Ye Shuoguang, and Han Qiuyuan.

These ten words were like a spell that trapped all his mind, hatred, unwillingness, and those secret longings that had been buried deep in his heart but he never admitted them.

It was as if there were countless voices constantly arguing and tearing in his head. It almost drove him crazy.

finally stayed up late at night, and the last candle in the Ye Mansion was extinguished. He finally stood up, opened the door and flew silently in the direction of Hanqiu Garden.

Hanqiu Garden was originally just a courtyard that had long been abandoned. Although it has been hidden in the depths of this prime minister's mansion for many years, it has never been a place of retribution. In other words, it just stood there year after year, and even Qi Zhen had been there more or less, but he never thought of going in to take a look.

If his mother had really been in Hanqiu Garden, how many times had he missed it unconsciously in the past ten years?

She had been so close to him all along.

Every time he thought about it, his heart throbbed as if it were about to burst.

The dark and dilapidated courtyard not far in front of it was Hanqiu Garden, which was still standing there quietly as usual. But now it seems that it is no longer the Hanqiu Garden that he didn't even bother to look at before.

Qi Zhen cautiously approached Hanqiu Garden, but found that there were people guarding the courtyard. Qi Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his breath became more and more restrained.

Ming Ming has never seen anyone haunt in the day, but in the middle of the night, he has to send someone to guard it, it seems that this Hanqiu Garden really hides some secrets.

Even if you are not a mother, it is not simple.

Qi Zhen looked carefully, the person guarding the town was a little familiar, it seemed to be his secret guard, but he had never heard anyone mention this matter.

Someone deliberately avoided him.

What kind of secret did you have to hide from him so hard?

Qi Zhen quietly sneaked into Hanqiu Garden, and it wasn't until he appeared behind the guard that the guard noticed that someone was coming. But as soon as he turned around, he was knocked out by Qi Zhen. Qi Zhen immediately caught the unconscious dark guard and gently put him on the ground.

Qi Zhen carefully inspected the courtyard again, and after making sure that there were no other guards, he quietly approached the house. He poked a small hole in the window paper and peeked through the small hole into the house.

There didn't seem to be a guard in the house, but it wasn't as dirty as it might seem. He gently pushed open a slit and cautiously walked into the room.

It didn't really look like it from the outside, and when I entered the house, I realized that although the room was very simple, it was surprisingly clean, not at all like a house that had been abandoned for many years. Qi Zhen continued to walk towards the back room, and the more he walked, the more suspicious he felt, and the traces of inhabitation became more and more obvious.

He walked all the way to the door of the innermost side room, and suddenly stopped.

There was a heavy breathing in the room, the voice of a woman. But the sound of breathing was heavy and rapid, mixed with coughing, and sounded painful.

Qi Zhen raised his hand and wanted to push the door open, but it stopped in mid-air.

He suddenly remembered the song that had echoed in his dreams countless times, and he remembered the voice.

He suddenly lost the courage to push the door open.

Nervous. Expect. Fear.

He was not even afraid of death, but he did not have the courage to push open the closed door in front of him.

"Who's out there?"

Qi Zhen's mind was in a big mess, and the sound of breathing became unconsciously heavy, and even this extremely weak patient was aware of it.

The woman's voice sounded, but it was not as gentle and beautiful as Qi Zhen remembered. On the contrary, he looked hoarse and low, and his tone was a little strange, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

But even so, it still coincided with the voice in Qi Zhen's memory. He couldn't restrain himself any longer, and gripped the wooden door frame tightly. When he let go of his hand, five three-point fingerprints appeared on the door frame.

He tried several times, but he still couldn't push open the door in front of him, and the hands that had been as strong as murder began to tremble.

Qi Zhen tried to stabilize his mind, and finally slowly pushed open the door.

There was a faint candle flame in the room, and a rudimentary bed could barely be seen. On the bed lay a haggard, gray-faced woman.

Qi Zhen suddenly felt as if he had an iron block weighing more than a thousand catties tied to his leg.

Just a few steps away, it seemed to have exhausted the strength of his life. He walked to the side of the bed step by step and knelt down.

"Mother..."

Before the words fell, he couldn't stop crying.

"You?。。。 You are?... Are you my Zhen'er? ”

The woman stared at Qi Zhen tightly for a long time before she trembled and stretched out a pair of bony hands. Her voice was more hoarse and low with a crying tone, followed by a violent cough.

"Mother, it's me, I'm Zhen'er. The child is not filial, and you have suffered... ”

Qi Zhen held the woman's trembling hand tightly, and was reluctant to let go of it.

"You are my grandfather... Oh my Zhen'er! It's been fifteen years, and God has finally treated me well, so that I can see you for the last time before I die. ”

The woman forced herself to stand up and hugged Qi Zhen, crying bitterly.

"Mother, you won't die, I'll take you away, go to the best doctor, I won't let you die."

Qi Zhen wiped away her tears, carefully picked up the woman, and ran outside.

"Zhen'er, don't worry about me, you can run away quickly. If Ye Shuoguang finds out that I am gone, he will definitely not let you go. I can't do it anymore, I can see you again before I die, and when I see that you have grown up, I will die without regrets. ”

Qi Zhen completely ignored the woman's dissuasion, and there was only one thought left in his heart.

You must escape with her, and you must not let her die.

Several times along the way, he was almost spotted by patrolling guards.

Fortunately, after all, he has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, and he is already very familiar with the dark sentry mechanism in the ambush in the Mansion, and finally escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion safely.

Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hesitated.

With her mother's current condition, she must immediately find a doctor to treat her. But ordinary doctors may not be able to find them, and most of them are useless if they are found.

If he wanted to talk about the best doctor, he first thought of Tianji.

But the master has always been uncertain, he only knows that there is a courtyard in King Xuan's mansion that is reserved for him all year round, but with Qi Zhen's identity and situation, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good thing to alarm King Xuan.

What's more, even if you go, you may not be able to find Tianji, so there is only one other person left.
