The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Not long after Yan Qi walked out of Yunxi Palace, Mu Xiao followed him out. As the two left, the voice of the eunuch of Yunxi Palace was heard from afar.

"Empress Yun is dead!"

Without stopping, Yan Qi went straight to Changqiu Palace.

"Mother concubine."

In the main hall of Changqiu Palace, Concubine Gao was wearing gorgeous palace clothes and a phoenix crown on her head. Her pair of phoenix eyes were intimidating without her even being angry. When she saw Yan Qi coming in, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Qi'er is back? Get up quickly."

Concubine Gao is the mother of Prince Jin. Yan Qi has been raised by Concubine Gao since he returned to the palace at the age of twelve.

"Go and bring me the soup I made."

Concubine Gao gave instructions to the nanny beside her.

Yan Qi had already walked forward, and Concubine Gao took Yan Qi's hand and looked at him.

"You have lost some weight since you haven't been here for a while. Mother asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes. Why don't you stay here and eat?"

"It's getting late. I won't bother you today. I'll come and have dinner with you another day."

Concubine Gao knew that Yan Qi had just returned from Yunxi Palace and must be upset, but she did not force him.

"Qi'er, no matter what you learned from Yun Xidian, it is all in the past. Mother hopes that you will keep your original heart and not be trapped by the people and things of the past.

You have done very well. You have grown into such an outstanding person. If your mother knew about this, she would definitely be pleased. "

The truth told by Concubine Yun was almost the same as what Yan Qi had learned in Ganzhou before.

Even Concubine Yun didn't know that her second brother had not given up on Yan Qi's mother.

After giving birth to Yan Qi, she did not really die. She was just given a drug to fake her death. When she woke up, she found herself in Xie's house.

For the head of the Xie family, this was the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish, but for her, it was just being imprisoned in a different place.

With her status, how could she have an easy life in the Xie family?

She did not die in the palace, but died in the Xie family.

He died that year when he learned that Yan Qi had been sent out of the palace by Emperor Hui and his whereabouts were unknown.

"Mother, my mother was like a floating duckweed throughout her life, helpless. Perhaps deciding to die was the only time she made her own decision.

She has done her best, I don't blame her, I just feel sorry that I can't see her."

Listening to Yan Qi say these calmly, Concubine Gao's heart ached and she didn't know what to say to comfort him.

"The man in Yunxi Palace deserved what he got. It was the Xie family who owed it to your mother and you. Mother only hopes that you can put an end to this matter and let it go in your heart, okay? You still have us. Mother and Mu'er will always be your family."

Yan Qi's eyes gradually became moist. Over the years, Concubine Gao and Prince Jin had indeed become his relatives.

Perhaps only when he truly has his own home will the missing part of Yan Qi's heart be truly healed.

“Mother, thank you for treating me like your own son for so many years and giving me such a good brother like Yan Mu.

I investigated my mother's affairs only to untie the knot in my heart. Now that I have found out everything, the Xie family has been eradicated. Even if it is to fulfill my mother's unfulfilled wish, I will be fine. Please rest assured, mother."

Yan Qi had a cold personality and it was rare for him to say such passionate words. Concubine Gao's eyes were red when she heard it and she just kept saying yes.

Yan Qi came out of Changqiu Palace and did not go to see Emperor Hui. He just asked someone to pass a message to Prince Jin and then left the palace directly.

Worried about Zhao Huayin, Yan Qi ordered Mu Xiao to return to the city defense camp to handle the matter, while he went to the Shangshu Mansion.

When Yan Qi arrived, Zhao Huayin was taking a nap, but it was still clear that Zhao Huayin's face was paler than the day before.

Without asking anyone to wake up Zhao Huayin, Yan Qi quietly called Lu Ying aside to ask about Zhao Huayin's condition.

"Miss Zhao didn't sleep well, so she was naturally not in a good mood. I took Miss Zhao's pulse and found that her pulse was weak and unstable, as if she was uneasy and her soul was not at peace.

If this continues for a long time, people will become confused and even mentally ill. "

"How to treat it?"

Yan Qi stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of worry.

"I do have a method, the Thirteen Ghost Needles."

Lu Ying looked a little solemn.

"Ancient books record that there are thirteen acupuncture points for diseases caused by all kinds of evil. For the needle, start from the Ghost Palace, then the Ghost Letter, then the Ghost Fortress, and finally the Ghost Heart. It is not necessary to needle all of them, just five or six acupuncture points will be enough.

Miss Zhao was injured by evil magic before, which is why her soul is unstable. After much thought, I think only this special acupuncture method can be effective."

"Are you sure?"

"Your Highness, I have never used this kind of acupuncture before, and I am only 70% sure."

"What happens if it fails?"

Yan Qi thought for a while before asking.

"At the mildest, they may fall into a coma, and at the worst, they may become mentally ill."

"Is there any other way?"

"They are all just treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is hard to guarantee complete success."

"What if I find someone to help you?"

"Your Majesty, no one except me dares to perform the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate, so no one can help me."

Lu Ying looked up at Yan Qi, with a rare firmness and persistence in his eyes?

"If the prince agrees, Lu Ying is willing to give it a try with all his strength."

"You... let me think about it."

How could Yan Qi, who has always been decisive and ruthless, be so hesitant?

"Your Majesty, my girl is awake, please come in."

Lu Ying was still confused. Yan Qi heard Dianxue's cry and strode into the house.

Zhao Huayin had already sat up, and Dian Xue was holding a glass of water and was about to hand it to Zhao Huayin.

"I come."

Yan Qi took the cup of water very naturally and fed it to Zhao Huayin.

Zhao Huayin drank water while looking at Yan Qi. After finishing the water, Zhao Huayin asked,

"Why are you here now? You must have been busy all night again. You should go back and rest."

"I just went to the palace to deal with some small things. It's not tiring. Now that things are almost done, I will stay here with you for the next few days, okay?"

"Of course that's fine."

Zhao Huayin replied with a smile.

Seeing the two of them talking, Dianxue took everyone out of the room.

Yan Qi took the empty cup handed over by Zhao Huayin and put it down, but Zhao Huayin was still staring at him.

"what happened?"

Yan Qi was puzzled.

"Is there something on my face? You're staring at me like that."

"I feel like there's something different about you. Something must have happened, right?"

Yan Qi's tense heart finally relaxed. Zhao Huayin was still so perceptive that she could detect his slightest changes at the first moment.

"Something happened."

Yan Qi raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

"Huayin, if one day you find out that I'm not as good as you thought, that I'm someone who is never expected, and even despised and exiled, will you despise me?"

There was a cautious trial in Yan Qi's eyes, as well as an indescribable pain.

"Yanqi, I came from an unorthodox path, or maybe the person who named me was sure that my life was just a wrong path."

Yan Qi actually chuckled.

The forced smile hurt Zhao Huayin's heart. Zhao Huayin reached out and touched Yan Qi's face, with an unusually determined light in her eyes.

"If the world were all smooth, what would be the meaning of life? To be able to turn a crooked path into a smooth one is the real excellence.

To me, this is the best name in the world, and you are the best person in the world."

Zhao Huayin's words made Yan Qi feel like drinking sweet spring water. His heart was filled with warmth and he reached out to hold her in his arms.

"You know, I'm not a good person. I've come this far because I must have done many things that cannot be shown to others. Huayin, have you really thought it through? If you really agree to my request, I will never let you go no matter what."
