However, there are too many things in this world that backfire.

I don't know whether to blame Si Qi's persistence, or whether she has no choice but to have a tendon.

When she couldn't achieve her goal in front of me and Yuqing, she went to the emperor alone.

It stands to reason that the emperor, as the king of a country, is not something that anyone can see when he says it. But Si Qi met the emperor with Yuqing in Jiangnan long before Yuqing entered the palace. Later, the emperor sent someone to find her and personally took her back to Yuqing.

She is the person Yuqing has been concerned about all these years, and the emperor has a deep affection for Yuqing. Love the house and Wu, naturally will not be embarrassed by chess.

But I believe that the emperor is even more reluctant to embarrass himself.

He knows Yu Qing's mind better than anyone else, and what Yu Qing is unwilling to accomplish, he naturally will not agree without permission.

Therefore, even though I knew that Si Qi had entered the palace, I was not worried.

Just, for some reason.

Although the emperor did not agree to Si Qi's request, he left her in the palace and became a rough palace maid.

Neither I nor Qiaohui could find a reason for this. In the end, we can only use the four words of the unfathomable heart of the monarch to explain what the emperor did.

It's good, it's good!

When she entered the palace on an errand, she no longer had the same childhood as she used to be. In this way, Qiaohui can be much quieter.

It's just that Qiaohui is quiet, and there are people in this palace who turn over on their backs.

……

On this day, I passed through the Imperial Garden on the way to finish my business.

But who knows, but accidentally ran into Si Qi. By the time I tried to get out of the way, she had already met her. Pestering.

In this regard, I can only speak bitterly and enlighten, "Si Qi, I am already married, and I will be a father soon!" I said I was so good to you just because I thought you were my sister! ”

"What about my sister? I just want to be by your side, I don't want anything. Even if you think of me as a sister, I don't care. ”

Si Qi was as stubborn as ever, crying and saying to me, "Brother Russell, don't be so ruthless, okay?" I don't want to do anything in this life, I just want to be by your side...... Do what I have to do......"

What to do? What she should do is to find her own happiness, not to make the wrong decision with the wrong person.

"Si Qi, don't mess around! is the love of brother and sister, how can they be in the same room as a concubine? "I feel more and more that Si Qi is willful and foolish" Have you ever thought about Qiaohui, what would she think? Have you ever wondered how the queen's heart hurts? ”

"I can't care so much!" Si Qi's eyes widened, and he shouted at me hysterically, "I only care about myself now, and I can't care about others."

What would Qiaohui think? I'm just going to Luo Mansion to accompany you, if I don't rob her husband and Jun Er, I don't hurt her child, what can she think!

Could it be that she used means to conceive your child, is she so confident and upright? And the queen ......."

Speaking of Yuqing, Si Qi's emotions became even more excited: "Don't mention her to me!" She will be distressed, but she will only feel distressed for Qiaohui, not for me! ”

I know that Si Qi has a misunderstanding of Yuqing. And this misunderstanding is because of me.

So, I sighed and reluctantly said, "Si Qi!" Why are you so persistent! The queen's mother's tolerance and love for you in every way, even I can't help but be moved when I see it. How do you ...... How could you say such a bastard? ”

"Brother Russell, you don't have to intercede for her...... She's just eccentric...... She ......"

"Whether she is partial or not, you feel it with your own heart!" I interrupted Si Qi's words, and I always felt that she was a little scary at the moment.

So, I didn't dare to mention Yuqing again. I had to turn the topic to myself and ask her why she had to marry me.

Could it be that marrying into Luofu is really just looking for a safe haven?

Si Qi listened to my words and was silent for a long time before he said, "Because...... You...... You're like my brother......"

"Brother?" My heart was very tired, and my voice was a little hoarse, "Just because I love you like a brother, you want to marry me as a concubine?" Si Qi ...... You're incredible! ”

"I don't care!" Si Qi sobbed, "Now that I have pulled off all my face, I have lost the reserve that a woman should have, I have said what I should say, and I have done what I should take the initiative to do." Brother Russell, even if it's just to give me a false name, don't you want to? ”

After that, he took the initiative to talk about the origin of her entering the palace and becoming a rough palace maid, "Now the emperor left me in the imperial study to be a palace lady because I made the queen unhappy." In my life, I may not have a chance to get out of the palace except to get married.

Can't you bear to see me a slave for the rest of my life......"

"Enough Si Qi" If it was before, I would definitely feel sorry for her and try my best to save her. But now, in the face of her nonsense, I am gradually tired.

"I am willing to treat you as a sister all the time, take care of you, and love you. But if you are so stubborn and entangled again, I would rather have nothing to do with you again. ”

"Brother Russell...... Are you so ruthless...... Even if I'm trapped in the Forbidden City for the rest of my life......"

I looked at Si Qi and burst into tears, tired and a little unbearable at the same time, "Si Qi, the queen feels sorry for you, how can she be willing to let you be trapped in the palace for the rest of your life?" As long as you go to her, she will definitely ......"

"Enough!" Before I could finish speaking, Si Qi screamed, "Looking for her?" Why? I hate her now! Without her, my life would not be like this! ”

"Chess, you ......"

"Enough, really enough! Since you don't take me to heart, then I won't leave a little bit of affection! In the days to come, no one will control me! ”

Si Qi collapsed due to another verbal disagreement with me, and the final outcome of this coincidental encounter in the Imperial Garden was only to break up unhappily.

For the changes in Siqi in the past few days, I am not unfazed. It's just that I always feel that she is the one who grew up with us since childhood, so I always feel that she is angry and confused. However, she would never do anything harmful.

But today, I really feel terrible.

……

Sure enough, my guess was correct.

Si Qi couldn't ask for what he wanted from Yuqing, so he hated Yuqing. And because he couldn't get the emperor's marriage, he broke the jar and broke it, and wanted to enter the palace to be the little master and compete with Yuqing.

But she is just a maid, where can she compare to Yuqing's status in the emperor's heart?

Before the emperor could hook it, he was ordered to be sent to the secret prison. and demanded that one of her fingers be cut off every day until all her hands and feet were destroyed, and then her tongue would be removed. The head is cut off. Finally, the cat punishment was applied.

When I heard the news, I felt cold as frost, as if I was no longer myself.

There are ten fingers and ten toes. If you cut off one every day, you will have to suffer for twenty days. Twenty days later, cut off the tongue. Head, inflict cat punishment!

Si Qi is just a weak woman, how can she stand it?

However, even Yuqing can't disobey the emperor's holy will, let alone me?

……

When I was in every danger, news suddenly came from the palace. said that Si Qi wanted to see me one last time before he died.

I really didn't want to marry her, but I still cared about it. So, without thinking about it, I went to the dark prison alone.

Even......

I knew early on that things weren't going to get any better in the dark prison, but when I actually came here and saw Si Qi, my heart still twitched.

The cell was littered with blood shed after the execution.

I saw that her hands and feet had been cut off and her wounds were not bandaged. In this cool and damp cell, after twenty days of torment, the wound has already emitted a putrid stench.

I also saw that her clothes were covered with blood and her hair was unkempt.

Beside her, there was now a pile of spoiled food. Underneath him, there is a filthy filth.

The whole dungeon was full of mosquitoes and flies, as well as ...... The maggots that kept wriggling on her wounds.

"Brother Russell...... You're here......" Si Qi looked stunned and muttered to me.

I felt sour in my heart for a while...... Why are you so troubled! ”

"The emperor promised to let me see you before I die" Si Qi raised his eyes and smiled brightly like spring.

"I'm sorry...... "I never felt that I had done anything wrong before, but seeing Si Qi being tortured like this, I finally felt more and more ashamed of her.

"I knew that...... The emperor hates me to the core, how could he be so kind enough to agree to let you come to see me. Si Qi was still smiling, but his tone was slightly sad, "It turned out that he had this idea." He wants you to see the ugliest and ugliest me, and he is destined to make me feel uneasy. ”

"Si Qi...... Sorry ......"

Now, that's all I can say.

"Brother Russell, you don't have to feel guilty. The one who is truly sorry for you is me. ”

After that, before I could react, Si Qi said again, "Brother Russell, I don't have more than three days to live." Later, I was plucked out by the executioner, followed by a cat executioner. Will you grant one of my wishes before I die? ”

"What?"

I made up my mind that whatever her wish was, I would do my best to fulfill her.

Even if I was asked to worship heaven and earth with her in this dark prison and fulfill her wish, I would not hesitate to do so.

When people are dying, she is happy.

But who knows, the more she gets to this time, she loses that thought, "On your shoulder, there is a copper coin brand." Can I ...... Take a second look? ”

When I heard this, my body shook, and then I trembled, "What did you say?" ”

How would she know about the copper coin imprint on me?

It was a wound that I didn't want to touch all my life, except for my mother, even if I knew the painting!

Si Qi ...... How would she know?

That copper coin brand, but what I left behind when I was in Liu's Mansion was an insult for my life!

Without waiting for me to think about it carefully, Si Qi smiled and explained.

She said it was because the last time I went to Luofu, I saw the birthmark on my hand. The birthmark wrapped around my arm, almost in a circle. So, she concluded that I had a brand on me. It's just that I'm not sure.

Just when I was puzzled, Si Qi asked again, "Brother Russell, when you were adopted into the Luo family, did you have any memories?" Are you ...... Children of Liufu in Suzhou. ”

- Brother Russell, are you a child of Liufu in Suzhou?

Si Qi's voice fell, and I just felt that I was struck by lightning all over my body, "Who the hell are you......"

I thought that the fact that I was the bloodline of Suzhou Liufu would not be known to anyone in this life.

But why is Si Qi ...... Why is she ......

Liu Fu ...... There is also Liu's house......

The place I hated since I was a child, the place where I couldn't find revenge and was determined to erase it from my memory. How could it be so easy to jump out of Si Qi's mouth now......

Isn't the Liu family at the end?

Although I couldn't find much information in Suzhou at the beginning, I later sent people to continue the search after returning to the capital, and finally learned that the ancestral house of the Liu family had been mortgaged, and the whole family was living on the streets. At last...... Liu Zhitian also drowned......

Who is Si Qi and who is she!

Faced with my shock and doubts, Si Qi smiled, sighed, and said, "I have never been an unreasonable person, even when I was a maid in the general's mansion, I was killed by the queen. Pet. Lawlessness.

But Brother Russell, I want to marry you every bit, regardless of fame or feelings, haven't you ever thought about all these things? ”

Si Qi stared at me and continued, "When I was found by the emperor in Jiangnan, I was indeed infatuated with you because of your love for me. After leaving the palace, I often went to Luofu to look for you, also because I identified you.

But since I saw the birthmark on your arm, that affection has gradually been replaced by family affection...... All this ...... It's all because you are a descendant of the Liu family and my own brother! ”

My head was in a daze, as if I had been hit hard!

My brother......

How am I Siqi's brother?

Back then, I was the only child in the Liu family. Although I don't rule out that Liu Meier gave birth to flesh and blood for Liu Zhitian again, that was already after I left the Liu family.

Even if you want to find me, you can't find it!

- Why do you have to marry me?

- because you are like my brother.

- I can't marry you, I only have brother and sister affection for you.

- Marry me into the house, even if you don't touch me, just treat me as a sister and give me a place to live?

Brother?

Amusing...... It's ridiculous......

"Impossible! I don't have a sister! I'm not a descendant of the Liu family! "When it comes to the Liu family, one of my hearts has become cold and tough again" Si Qi, you recognized the wrong person. ”

"You clearly are! You have a birthmark on your arm and a copper coin brand on your shoulder! You are the only male in the Liu family! ”

Si Qi's words were sharp, obviously not wanting to let me go so easily, "I won't admit my mistake, the copper coin brand on your shoulder was branded by my mother with a red-hot copper coin."

You are reluctant to admit your identity, but it is simply because you have a grudge against the Liu family. You don't know me...... It's also because of when you left...... I was not born yet. ”

Mother......

Really! Is she really Liu Meier's flesh and blood!
