"What's the matter? Can't I come to you if it's okay?"

When Wu Tian's question fell, Qin Zhiwei immediately threw out a roll of his eyes, and said angrily, "I heard that you came back this time and brought back a woman?"

"Uh......"

Wu Tian was a little speechless, but fortunately, Qin Tianxiao smiled beside him, "Brother Wu, don't get me wrong, little sister doesn't mean anything else! We just heard that you are back, so we came to see you, and I heard from my father that you also brought Concubine Li back? Is this really related to her?"

"Not bad!"

Wu Tian nodded, and simply told Concubine Li about kidnapping Xu Shan to blackmail him, but with Wu Zhenghao's reminder first, the matter about Zhou Lingwei and Jiutoujiao was only skimmed and not elaborated.

"Sure enough, it's her! It seems that maybe she has a conspiracy to enter the palace and become the concubine of her father!" Qin Tianxiao immediately said in a deep voice.

"Perhaps!"

Wu Tian shrugged his shoulders, "Concubine Li, I have already handed it over to Your Majesty by hand, and what to do with it can only be done by Your Majesty!"

"Okay, let's not talk about her!"

Qin Tianxiao smiled, looked around the courtyard and asked, "By the way, Brother Wu, what about Miss Xu?

"That's it!"

Qin Zhiwei also nodded beside him and said, "Could it be that you hid them......?" I heard that Ning City Lord is extremely beautiful, and she is a goddess in the hearts of countless men!

"Uh......"

Wu Tian's expression suddenly froze when he heard this, but he was proud in his heart, what is the intention? Now Ning Xin has made it clear that his heart is going to follow him, does this still need any attempt?

Of course, now is not the time to make an announcement, so Wu Tian just smiled at Qin Zhiyu's question, without nodding or shaking his head.

"Hmph, I know, you stinky men are all the same, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, you don't know how to be satisfied at all!"

Qin Zhiyu said angrily, but this sentence almost beat all the men in the world, making Wu Tian and Qin Tianxiao look at each other, and they both smiled bitterly.

But Qin Zhiwei is such a character, what can they say?

"By the way, Brother Wu, I almost forgot, eldest brother, he asked me to bring you a message, saying that he was willing to go back to Tianxing Academy with you, but he had to ask for the consent of his father and mother in advance!" After smiling bitterly, Qin Tianxiao said with a straight face.

"Well, this matter is not in a hurry, I will stay here for a few days!" Wu Tian said lightly.

"But Brother Wu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, in the Heavenly Star Academy, is there really an alchemy senior who can be suitable for teaching my eldest brother?" Qin Tianxiao asked again.

"Of course, there is!"

Wu Tian nodded and said, "Don't worry, since I have already said it, it won't be fake! I can tell you Brother Qin in advance, that senior is not a simple person, although he can't leave the Heavenly Star Academy for some reason, but if His Royal Highness the Great Prince can worship her as a teacher, his achievements in alchemy in the future will definitely not be low, and it is not impossible to even become a saint-level alchemist in the future!"

Wu Tian's words suddenly made Qin Tianxiao's face pale, and as for Qin Zhixiao, he said angrily, "Wu Tian, you can't be dreaming and haven't woken up, right?"

"Hugh is nonsense!"

Qin Tianxiao immediately scolded Qin Zhiyu, and then turned his head to Wu Tiandao, who looked helpless, "Brother Wu, little sister, she is such a character, she has no malicious intentions, please don't take it to heart!"

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm used to it!"

Wu Tian smiled, but got up abruptly and said, "By the way, Brother Qin, I want to go into the palace now to meet Concubine Li, I don't know if you are free now, can you accompany me on a trip?"

This palace of the Drifting Snow Empire is naturally not like the palace of the Heavenly Star Empire, where Wu Tian can be allowed to enter and exit, even if Wu Tian brought the unconscious Concubine Li into the palace yesterday, he had notified His Majesty Qin Cao in advance, otherwise I am afraid that he would be regarded as a bandit who kidnapped Concubine Li's mother......

"Naturally!"

Qin Tianxiao nodded without hesitation, "Since Brother Wu said it, then let's leave now?"

"Good!"

Wu Tian responded, but Qin Zhiwei got up and said, "Go ahead, I'll go outside to find Sister Xiaoshan and them to play! Hmph, by the way, let's see how big a beauty that Ning City Lord is! Hmph!"

After speaking, without waiting for Wu Tian and Qin Tianxiao to speak, Qin Zhiwei ran out quickly.

............

In the prison of the palace, Wu Tian got his wish to see Concubine Li, who had woken up, but was sitting on the edge of the bed without eating or drinking, and was in a daze......

There was some delicious food in front of her, but it was already cold, and Concubine Li's face was pale, and her eyes looked out through the small window of the prison, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Brother Wu, go ahead, I'll wait for you outside!"

"Okay, thank you!"

After Qin Tianxiao left, Wu Tian entered the cell with the jailer bowing, and after waving his hand to let all the jailers around him leave, Wu Tian walked in front of Concubine Li, pulled a chair and sat down directly.

However, although the sound of this series of movements was not small, Concubine Li continued to maintain the posture that had not moved for a long time as if she hadn't heard it.

"Zhou Li, right?"

Wu Tian thought of Concubine Li's self-introduction when she faced Feng Yufeng in the Snow Misty Valley, and slowly said out loud, "I have something I want to ask you!"

“......”

Concubine Li was still quiet, and she didn't even seem to move her eyes, which made Wu Tian talk to the air a little.

"Do you think it's okay for you to stay silent, eat or drink like this?"

Wu Tian said lightly, "I don't ask why you entered the palace, nor do I ask what kind of personal relationship you have with that Zhou Lingwei, but there is one thing I want to know, what happened in the Brilliance Auction House more than 20 years ago is related to you?"

“......”

There was silence, there was no response, Concubine Li was like a puppet at this time, if she didn't have any breath, I'm afraid she would be a dead person.

"Uh......"

Seeing this, Wu Tian suddenly tightened helplessly, coughed a few times and touched his nose with a wry smile, "Zhou Lingwei is dead, do you want to go on like this?" Although I don't deny that there are some reasons for me, you should also understand that if he hadn't summoned the nine-headed Jiao, he wouldn't have lost his vitality and died!",

Ling Wei ...... Ling Wei ......"

Finally, Concubine Li spoke up, but her mouth just kept chanting Zhou Lingwei's name softly, and her eyes were very blank.

"Ling Wei died, and the nine-headed Jiao not only didn't save him, but also harmed him!"

"It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, Ling Wei wouldn't have died, he wouldn't have died!"

"Ling Wei, it's me who is sorry for you, it's my aunt who is sorry for you!"

...... After a moment of silence, Concubine Li burst into tears again, her knees bent slightly, her hands clasped together, and she buried her head and sobbed continuously, and the sound of sobbing echoed like sad music in this cell......

Wu Tian didn't speak, he sat quietly opposite Concubine Li, looking at the concubine who no longer had any sense of grace he had seen before, he couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, what a bother......

After a long time, Concubine Li's crying gradually weakened, and she raised her somewhat red and swollen eyes, "Wu Tian, you can ask whatever you want, but if it's about the nine-headed Jiao, please don't open your mouth, I won't say it!"

"More than 20 years ago, did the matter of Brilliance Auction have anything to do with you?"

Wu Tian repeated, and after a pause, he said, "I have already investigated, it was the incident that happened not long after you entered the palace, should you tell me that it was not you behind your back, right?"

"It's me!"

Concubine Li nodded without hesitation and acknowledged.

"Then why did you do that?"

Wu Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "Do you know that Xiaosi lost her father because of that incident, her grandfather almost died away from home because of this, and her grandmother died of depression! Why did you do that?"

"Because there's a big secret in the Brilliance Auction House!"

Concubine Li raised her head, not caring at all about the murderous intent exuded by Wu Tian's cold tone, and said lightly, "I want that secret, but they don't know how to do it, I can only do that, but I never expected that the Brilliance Auction House would be able to cause His Majesty to come forward in person, in order not to arouse His Majesty's suspicion, I can only let it go!

"Your heart is really poisonous!"

Wu Tian snorted coldly, "What kind of secret is it that can make you, a dignified Concubine Li, do this?"

"Do you want to know? haha...... I'm not going to tell you!"

Concubine Li laughed wildly, which made Wu Tian's heart full of anger, and said coldly, "If you don't say it again, believe it or not, I'll kill you now?"

"Believe, why don't I believe it?"

Concubine Li nodded, not caring about Wu Tian's murderous intent, and sneered lightly, "Kill me and kill me! Anyway, now that Ling Wei is dead, what's the point of me living alone in this world?"

"You ......"

Looking at Concubine Li's death-begging eyes, Wu Tianzhen didn't know what to say, but his thoughts turned and he suddenly said, "Who said you are alone? Have you forgotten that you also have a son, His Royal Highness Qin Tianlin, the fourth prince of the Drifting Snow Empire?"

"Tianyu ......"

Hearing Qin Tianlin's name, Concubine Li's eyes exuded a touch of tenderness, but then she was replaced by gray again, and then she simply turned her head away, as if she didn't want to say another word.

"You ......"

Wu Tian was furious, looking at this soft and hard Concubine Li, he wanted to kill directly, but he forcibly held back.

"You don't say yes, do you?

Wu Tian gritted his teeth and said coldly, "I think, your son Qin Tianlin may not be able to get out of your affairs, if you don't say it, I think Qin Tianlin, the Third Highness, will say it......, right?" Even if I don't kill him, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to spare him. The so-called royal family is the most ruthless, Concubine Li, you have lived for so long, you should understand this truth, right?"

“......”

Concubine Li regained her previous calm again, and seemed to be unmoved by Wu Tian's words at all, which couldn't help but make Wu Tian a little strange, it stands to reason that a mother could never be so indifferent when she heard the news that her son was about to be killed......

Suddenly, a thought came to Wu Tian's mind, could it be that Qin Tianlin was not born by the concubine in front of him?
