Chapter Seventy-Four: Temptation

The Queen Mother glared at her, her expression a little subtle: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Don't you hate him when he treats you like this?" Huan Ci is an understatement.

The Queen Mother lowered her head and chuckled: "Who do I still have the energy to hate now?" Your strife has nothing to do with my wife. ”

"Really?" Huan Ci sneered at her and asked, "Isn't it like you're staying here forever and don't want to go back to Zong Zhengche?" ”

"If I could go, I would have left early, where would I have to wait until now. Besides, he has no time to take care of himself now, how can he take care of me. ”

Huan reluctantly but smiled silently. She has been locked up here for so long, but she is also well-informed, and she still knows Zong Zhengche's current situation.

The door suddenly slammed, and Li Qi's figure appeared in everyone's eyes. When he saw Huan Ci, a trace of disgust crossed his eyes: "It's really a rare guest, the county lord will come here." ”

"Even if I come every day, do I have to tell Gonggong Li that it can't be done?" Huan Ci sneered. The fact that he often came was already revealed between his words, and not only that, I am afraid that there is also his eyeliner here, maybe the maid in the courtyard, maybe the guard at the door.

She smiled brightly at Li Qi and asked, "Why did Gonggong Li come today?" Is it to come to your former master, that you may show your faithfulness? ”

Li Qi's smile froze on his face, and his mouth squirmed for a moment but he couldn't say a word.

Huan Ci's purpose has been reached, and he looked back at the Queen Mother and said: "I am relieved to see that the Queen Mother is still well, I will go back first, you must take good care of it." ”

After saying that, she stood up and smiled at Li Qiyanran, regardless of the expressions of the two, and went out in high spirits.

Outside the door, Ah Yaoguo chatted with the maid hotly, and when she saw her, she jumped over and walked over. It's just that the maid was a little apprehensive when she saw her, and quickly restrained the smile on her face.

After returning to the room, Huan Ci asked Ah Yao what he said to the woman, but he didn't get any useful news, but Ah Yao saw that the maid and Li Qi were very familiar with each other, and nodded at him as soon as they saw him, not as restrained as when they saw Huan Ci.

Zhao Qing told her that when she walked out, she caught a glimpse of Li Qi and the Queen Mother looking at each other, and Li Qi shook his head at the Queen Mother.

It seems that the two of them did meet here often. The corners of Huan Ci's mouth are slightly hooked, which is interesting. Li Qi's words are all disgusted with Zong Zhengxun, and he doesn't even like Zong Zhengche, but he has special feelings for Zong Zhengyang's biological mother, so the hatred expressed in his words, and the words of revenge for his father, are they really for his mother? I'm afraid not at all, who knows how much selfishness he hides?

It's just that she doesn't know if her father knows about it, so she should find an opportunity to talk to him.

Huan Ci was already a little sleepy, rubbing his eyes and running to the bed to rest.

When she woke up, her father was sitting in her room, drinking tea under A-Yao's service.

"Daddy, why are you here?" Huan Ci looked at his father sleepily.

Huan Ci hurriedly put down the teacup and looked at her gently: "Girl, come and talk to me." ”

"Daddy, but what's wrong?" Huan Ci's sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he asked curiously.

"Are you going to find the Queen Mother?"

"You found out so quickly?" Huan Ci walked over to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Huan Yuan snorted: "Don't find someone to watch you, lest you run out again." ”

"Daddy." Huan Ci hugged his arm and coquettishly.

Huan Yuan sighed, and said, "What are you going to do with the Queen Mother?" ”

"I've found something weird." Huan Ci said busily.

Huan Yuan looked around the room, and after sending away Ah Yao, who was serving on the side, he said softly: "Do you see the strangeness of her and Li Qi." ”

"You know?" Huan Ci looked at his father in surprise.

"Humph! His mind could not be concealed from me. I see that he has recently been poured ecstasy soup by the Queen Mother, and he always wants to provoke me to rescue Zong Zhengche. I think he's crazy to think like this. Zongzheng's vision is too shallow, and it can't compare to Zongzheng Law at all, if I really have to choose one, of course I will choose Zongzheng Law. ”

"Daddy." Huan Ci looked intently at his father.

In fact, she has also thought about this question. Zong Zhenglu is more suitable to be an emperor than Zong Zhengche, and Fu Shen is willing to follow him, which shows that he is still very capable. It's a pity that his light was covered by Zong Zhengche in the past, and coupled with his annoying father, Huan Ci really didn't notice him much.

If he could, the Father would like to follow him. It's a pity that I don't trust the royal people now, especially since he is also the son of Zong Zhengyuan. Huan Yuan sighed.

Huan Ci looked at his father's aging face and said in a low voice: "Daddy, no matter what you do, I will support you." ”

Huan Yuan looked at his daughter, and his voice was a little choked: "It's just that you and Fu Shen are two children." I haven't gotten married for so many years, just because we've delayed until now. ”

He paused, and then said, "Ah Ci, have you already had a skin-to-skin relationship with him?" ”

I was almost choked by the tea I had just drunk, and Huan Ci stared at his father with a red face, and muttered, "Daddy, how do you know?" ”

"I'm just a temptation, who knows that you will be recruited in three or two clicks." Huan Yuan took a sip of tea proudly, "You and him are not young anymore, these things are just reasonable." You don't have a mother, and no one teaches you these things. Although Daddy is a man, his daughter always has to care. Now I regret it a little, I should find you a stepmother. But for so many years, I have often dreamed of your mother, and it was I who was ashamed of her that caused her to suffer those humiliations. ”

Huan Ci put his hand on his father's shoulder and comforted: "A-Niang knows that you are for the people, I think she will understand you." ”

"She will." Huan Yuan smiled, "She has always understood me and supported all the decisions I made. I really wanted to go to her grave to see her in my lifetime, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to go there in my life. ”

"Does A-Niang still have a grave?" Huan Ci was a little surprised.

"It's on a deserted outskirts of three miles outside the capital of Yongguo. It was a pit dug by the captured invalids themselves. Later, when Yongguo sued for peace, he returned to Rongguo, but your aunt stayed there forever. Huan Yuan took a deep breath, with resentment in his eyes, "Actually, your aunt is also half a Yong countryman, and your grandmother is a Yong countryman." It's a pity that the group of people killed crazy, and even a poor person like her didn't let go. ”

Compared with the people of the royal family, Daddy seems to hate Yongren more. When mentioning Zong Zhengche and them, his father's expression was always light, but when he mentioned Yongren, he was full of resentment. Since childhood, my father and Yong Guo have fought several times, and the biggest battle was the battle last winter.

"Daddy, since Auntie is also a Yong person, do you still hate them?" Huan Ci asked in a low voice.

didn't expect her to ask such a question, Huan Yuan was stunned, and his chest rose and fell violently: "I don't hate them, I only hate the beasts of the Yong Kingdom Royal, all of them are miserable and inhumane, and they really deserve to die." The last time they dared to arrest you, at that time I really wanted to kill you directly in the imperial city of Yong Kingdom and take their emperor back to Rongguo. ”

Huan Ci chuckled. Father was just joking, it was so easy to do.

It's getting dark, and it's time for dinner again. Huan Ci hadn't had dinner with his father for a long time, and now was a good opportunity to talk, so he left his father behind, and the two talked until the end of the day.

Half a month later, Zong Zhengche was defeated and absconded all the way to Yongguo, and his wife Su Wanling, his father-in-law Su Xiang and his family were escorted back to Yingdu to wait for their fate.

Without Zong Zheng, Zong Zhenglu has the energy to deal with his father. Perhaps this is the end of peace in Daishou.

Just as the two of them sighed, Li Qi ran in in the light rain, and when he saw Huan Yuan, he said sharply: "Lord Wang, don't hesitate, let's do it." Now that his soldiers are tired, it is a good time to do it. It's really not possible, we can unite with the Yong people to fight them together. ”

"Shut up, I see you're blinded by lard." Huan Yuan's anger rose sharply, and he glared at him in displeasure.

Li Qi narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What are you waiting for?" Do you have to wait until Daizhou is breached? ”

"You're really whimsical. I only have 80,000 Jin troops in my hands, but Zong Zhenglu controls 200,000 soldiers and horses of Rongguo. Are you going to let my brother die in vain? Moreover, even if I die under the sword of Zongzheng Law, I will never ask the people of Yong for help. Huan Yuan said loudly.

Li Qi's face was also ugly, and he shouted: "How long do you want to stay like a shrinking turtle?" ”

"Gonggong Li has never been on the battlefield, how do you know the difficulties of fighting? If you can come up with enough money, my father will still have to suffer from this idleness, and he would have already recruited troops and horses to fight in Yingdu. Huan Ci couldn't help but stab.

Li Qi rolled his eyes at her: "If I had the money to recruit troops and buy horses, I would have gone by myself, why wait until now." ”

Catching a glimpse of his father Tie Qing's face, Huan Ci sneered: "The Queen Mother has money. You can find a lot of money just by picking at random in that room, you just look for her, why bother to find your father. Or is it that the money in her house was not hers, but I don't know where it came from. ”

Thinking of this, Huan Ci became more and more angry. My father worries about the situation every day, but this man takes his father's money every day and slaps his swollen face and becomes fat, and now he is embarrassed to accuse his father.

These words really angered Li Qi. He snorted angrily at Huan and said to Huan Yuan: "I really misjudged you. If you didn't avenge Ah Ran all these years, I should have seen that you were a weak person, but it's a pity that I pinned my hopes on you, which is really ridiculous. ”

Ah Ran is Huan Ci's mother's small characters, she has seen them in calligraphy and paintings.

"Didn't Gonggong Li fail to take revenge? You don't regret becoming a eunuch, so you blame my father? The more Huan Ci spoke, the more angry he became, and the more disgusting he became.

"Ah Ci, don't talk nonsense." Huan Yuan scolded. He looked up at Li Qi deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, I have also known your intentions for Ah Ran over the years, but I don't want you to do something wrong with this intention, and I don't want you to use a deceased person as an excuse. ”
