Qianyuan Palace

The chamberlain presented the confession of the Taoist priest of the Qingxu audience and the relevant information about the divine torturer, and Emperor Yuan He looked through it carefully, and his expression was very calm.

Wu Han and Yan Li stood on both sides of each other, their eyes briefly intersecting and then staggering.

After a while, the voice of Emperor Yuan He sounded in the ears of the two, "Qingxuguan is the hiding place of the demon Dao, there is no need to exist, spread my will, seal the view immediately, and never open it." Qingxu Guan Demon Dao plotted to kill the noble daughter of the clan, and the crime of contempt for the emperor's authority was extremely evil, and all the Taoist priests in the temple were killed. ”

Yan was shocked, would those innocent little Taoist priests who didn't know also have to be given to death?

"The saint, the sin is not as innocent as the innocent, and the minister implores the saint to forgive a few little Taoist priests in the temple."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yuanhe's eyes fell on Yan Li, "Yan Qing thinks that I am killing innocents indiscriminately?" ”

"I don't dare." Yan Li's heart tightened, and cold sweat immediately oozed from his back, but he still had the courage to say: "The minister just thinks that the little Taoist priests are still young and have never done anything bad, so they should not be implicated." ”

During the search, there were three young Taoist priests under the age of five in Qingxuguan, and one of them seemed to have a disease of dementia.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone sweated for Yan Li's boldness.

Emperor Yuan He looked at Wu Han, "What do you think?" ”

Wu Han: "The Holy One is merciful." ”

Emperor Yuan He's gaze was on Wu Han and Yan Li, and they saw back and forth several times, but they didn't say anything. He sat back down on the table and looked through the confession again.

After a while, he raised his head and instructed the chamberlain on the side, "Go and call the crown prince, the king of Qian, and the king of Yu." ”

The chamberlain did not dare to delay, and immediately took the order and left.

The East Palace is the closest to the Jiaotai Palace, so the prince came the earliest, and the palaces of King Qian and King Yu were built outside the palace, which was a quarter of an hour later than the prince.

As soon as the three sons arrived, Emperor Yuan He asked the chamberlain to give them the confession and the information of the torturer.

After reading it, the three of them had different opinions, and the prince and King Yu felt that the crimes of demons and accomplices were unforgivable, and the little Taoists could return home.

King Qianwang felt that he would rather kill by mistake than let one go, and all Taoist priests in Qingxuguan must be ambushed, and he admonished Emperor Yuanhe: "Those Taoist priests are all respected by the demon Tao, if you let it go, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." ”

Emperor Yuanhe: "King Qian's words are reasonable. ”

When King Qianwang heard this, a trace of joy flashed on his face, and he was about to open his mouth when he heard Emperor Yuanhe say: "The prince and King Yu are right. ”

He was a little confused, what did my father mean by this?

Soon King Qian understood Emperor Yuanhe's intentions, and his treatment of the group of Qingxuguan Taoist priests also compromised the opinions of the three brothers.

The demon Dao and its accomplice Ling Chi were executed, the rest of the Taoist priests were expelled from Kyoto and sent to the northwest to serve in labor, and the three little Taoist priests were sent to the Kyoto Nursery Hall, and the Qingxu Temple was permanently sealed.

As soon as this order came out, those families and ordinary people who had enshrined the tablet in Qingxuguan invited the tablet out one after another before the closure, including Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi brought Qi Heming's tablet back to Qi's house, and arranged a small room dedicated to worship, and it seemed that the family was reunited.

The days came to November, and Qi Tanying's body was almost better after more than 20 days of recuperation.

Mrs. Jiang invited her sister and niece to Jiang's house as guests, and the mother and daughter went to find out that Mrs. Jiang was entrusted by Princess Changxing and the county lord of Qingyang to invite them to meet in Jiang's mansion.

Originally, Mrs. Qi complained about the Qingyang County Lord robbing her daughter and fiancé, but later Qi Tanying was in a coma for three days because she fell into the water, and she didn't want to see her.

It's just that for the sake of her being the county lord, it's not good to deal with her.

After Qi Tanying learned about Princess Changxing's plan in the stone room, she didn't want to have anything to do with their mother and daughter.

After staying at Jiang's house for less than an hour, Mrs. Qi found an excuse to leave Jiang's house with her daughter.

On the way back, Mrs. Qi was annoyed, "Your aunt has forgotten her sister because she has an in-law, and she will invite me to go in the future, and I will resolutely not go." ”

"And the princess and the county lord, don't think that they are powerful and powerful, we have to bow to them, can't we hide if we can't provoke them?" As he spoke, he complained about Jiang Liangyu, "Brother Liang'er, is that kid not good-looking, why did he fall in love with such a woman?" ”

Mrs. Qi kept complaining about this and that, and Qi Tanying listened and listened.

She thought of her younger brother who was studying at Danfeng Academy, and now that the weather was getting colder, she didn't know if the academy had added thick bedding to the students. Originally, I was going to go up the mountain to see him in October, but I didn't expect to be delayed.

Why don't you go up the mountain in two days?

What Qi Tanying didn't expect was that she hadn't had time to go up the mountain yet, and on the fifth day of the first day of November, Qi Yukun came back by herself.

The little boy has grown a lot taller, he used to only go to Qi Tanying's ears, but he hasn't seen him for more than a month, and he is already as tall as her.

When Mrs. Qi saw her son coming back, she couldn't help but hug him and cry bitterly. Then he went to the stove room in person and instructed the cook to cook a sumptuous meal and wash the dust for his son.

Before the meal was served, Qi Tanying took Qi Yukun to the room where his father's tablet was enshrined, and asked Qi Yukun to incense his father.

After the incense, Qi Yukun asked about the Qingxu Guan Fengguan, and Qi Tanying vaguely said the reason, but omitted the fact that she and the county lord of Qingyang were almost drowned.

After all, the imperial court declared to the outside world that the Qingxu Guan Guan was the murderer of the Lingjun Lord and other noble women, and although she and the Qingyang County Lord were also victims, the Yuan He Emperor and the Changxiang Wangfu erased the clues of the two of them out of consideration.

Therefore, except for a few people who knew about it, no one in the outside world knew that the two of them were almost buried in the stone chamber under the Qingxuguan.

On the second day after Qi Yukun went home, Jiang Zhenyu learned the news and came to Qi's house.

With him there, Qi Yukun simply stopped studying and went out to play with him. I went out early every morning and came back at dusk.

In this regard, Mrs. Qi has a great opinion of Jiang Zhenyu, thinking that he is demoralized with his son's playthings. Jiang Zhenyu was afraid of Mrs. Qi's eyes, and she didn't come to Qi's house for several days.

He didn't come, and Qi Yukun returned to the academy the next day. It wasn't until the tenth day of the lunar month that Jiang Liangyu got married and didn't come back again.

provoked Mrs. Qi to complain, saying that her son's heart was taken wild by Jiang Zhenyu.

Jiang Liangyu married the county lord of Qingyang, and the Qi family and the Yan family were all guests. As Jiang Liangyu's quasi-cousin-in-law, Yan Li consciously helped Jiang Liangyu block a lot of wine.

When I went to the clean room to go to the toilet, I heard a conversation next door, and it seemed that my name was mentioned. He quickly straightened his clothes and leaned over to the wall to listen.

"You said that Yan Li... Why are there so many things, and they even help our eldest brother block the wine, but it seems that our brothers are useless. ”

"He should help his eldest brother block the wine."

"Why?"

"If not... If it weren't for the eldest brother's divorce with Miss Qi in order to marry the county lord, where would it be his turn. ”

“......”

Hearing this, Yan Li was completely drunk. He didn't know that Ah Tan had a marriage contract with Jiang Liangyu. His face sank and he strode out of the clean room.

After he left, Jiang Qiyu and Jiang Mingyu, the brothers in the second room of the Jiang family, came out of the clean room next door, and the two didn't know that the previous conversation had been fully heard.

Yan Li pretended to be casual and returned to the banquet, patiently waited until the banquet was over, called Qi Yukun aside, and asked straight to the point: "Your sister and Jiang Dagongzi have a marriage contract?" ”

Qi Yukun frowned when he heard this, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"You just have to tell me yes or no." Yan Li just wanted to confirm whether the news was true.

This is not a secret that cannot be said, Qi Yukun simply admitted it generously.

"Yes, they did have a marriage contract. But that's all in the past, now that Cousin Liang is married to the county lord, and my sister is engaged to you again, there is no possibility for them to renew their relationship. ”
