After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

The man was very good at martial arts and brought Jiang Wanyu outside the wall in just a few moves.

Jiang Wanyu hugged his neck tightly, watching him gently put her down. After a few seconds, she reacted and said thank you.

The man didn't say anything, just stared at the strip of cloth in her hand.

But after looking for a while, he didn't say anything, just stepped on the moonlight and flew away.

This person is really strange. He comes and goes without a trace, and he is a complete mute.

Just as I was thinking about it carefully, Wang Xiaosi and Chunzhu arrived.

"Miss, it's a good thing you came out. We really can't delay any longer."

Chunzhu looked Jiang Wanyu up and down. Fortunately, Jiang Wanyu was safe and sound. If Miss Jiang had any mishap, Young Master Jiang would have to deal with them severely.

After thinking for a while, he asked worriedly.

"By the way, Miss, have you found any clues?"

"Xu Liangdong is very cautious and difficult to investigate. I only got this. However, with this, maybe we can find out something."

Jiang Wanyu stretched out her hand and unfolded the strips of cloth one by one.

Chunzhu and Wang Xiaosi just stared blankly at the piece of cloth that they had taken so much pains to take out, feeling very puzzled.

-

Inside the Northern Palace, the captured man was tied firmly to a cross in the basement.

"Were you there at the scene that year, Wu Peng?"

Qingxuan looked fiercely and whipped the man in front of him, who was covered in bruises.

Song Qi Yan just sat loosely on the chair, tapping lightly on the armrest with his fingertips, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

The man covered in bruises refused to speak.

"You bullshit!"

Qing Xuan brought the token in his hand in front of him and asked, "Wu Peng, the chief sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor, this is a token specially granted by the emperor, and you still dare to quibble! As the emperor's personal guard back then, how could you not be in the hunting ground where the virtuous concubine died? Tell me, what happened back then!"

Wu Peng gritted his teeth and refused to speak even though the whip hurt him.

"Wu Peng, I don't have much time left to give you. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being merciless to you."

Song Qiyan was fiddling with a lucky bag carried by a child in his hand, and walked towards Wu Peng step by step with an unapproachable chill.

Suddenly, Wu Peng's pupils widened, and he stared at the thing in Song Qiyan's hand without blinking. His lips trembled slightly, and his whole body was shaking with anger.

"How did you get this thing? What on earth did you do?"

"What have you done?"

Song Qiyan had a murderous look in his eyes, he pulled the corner of his mouth, then gently patted Wu Peng on the shoulder, his voice was cold and stern with a chilling sense of oppression.

"That depends on General Wu's performance."

Hearing this, Wu Peng became excited and rushed towards Song Qiyan like a stubborn horse about to break free from the reins.

"Song Qiyan, you are despicable!"

"mean?"

Song Qiyan snorted coldly, "If I wasn't mean, how could I live until now? General Wu, you have been an official for many years, so you naturally know that there is no one in this court who is not mean, even...isn't my father the same now?"

"You are really a pair of dogs!"

"Hahaha."

Song Qiyan raised his head and laughed sarcastically, with a nonchalant look on his face.

"As for cruelty, I am far inferior to my father. Besides, maybe General Wu can tell me what I want to know, and I will be merciful and do what my father could not do for many years - send you out of the capital and let you see your family far away in Shuzhong."

"Can you take this seriously?!"

As soon as Song Qiyan finished speaking, the resolute look in his eyes obviously relaxed a lot, and was replaced by a hesitant look.

I think that after the incident at the hunting ground, the emperor dismissed all the people in the hunting ground and concealed the matter.

"Wu Peng, I won't kill you because you've been with me for so many years, but you must never mention this matter again in your life."

"Yes."

An imperial decree drove Wu Peng out of the capital.

The emperor had lost face because of this incident, but he was very grateful that the emperor still protected him. However, he did not expect that all this was just an excuse by the emperor - on the day he left office, the emperor sent people to hunt him down.

Fortunately, at that time, he was so skilled in martial arts that he survived the emperor's attack.

When he fell off the cliff, he grabbed a vine and survived.

From then on, he hid in the wilderness of the capital city under an assumed name.

Over the years, he had been trying every means to escape from the capital, but the old emperor was meticulous and the city gates were checked very strictly, so he had no choice but to give up his determination to return to Shuzhong.

Later he learned that although the emperor had made up his mind, he did not hunt down his family.

This means that although he is still alive, he will never see his family far away in Shu again.

But knowing that his wife and children are safe, he has no regrets in this life.

But who knew that the royal family would not let him go after all.

Just yesterday, a group of men in black surrounded his residence, chased him all night, and finally tied him back to this prison.

But think about it, it was already a dead end, and now this prince has a way to get him out of the capital, so he might as well give it a try.

Looking at the face in front of him, which was as ferocious as the emperor's, Wu Peng smiled helplessly.

"You are so much like your father. Tell me, what do you want to know? As long as you can get me out of the capital, I will tell you everything."

"it is good."

Song Qiyan put away the lucky bag, frowned, and asked seriously.

"Then I want to know everything you knew about the incident when it happened."

“This story has to start from 20 years ago.”

-

It was midsummer, and the emperor took his concubine to Sichuan to escape the heat.

The emperor felt bored after being stuck in Shu for so long, so he sent people to build a hunting ground so that he could take his virtuous concubine out to relieve his boredom.

But before the hunting was over, they were ambushed.

In the panic, Concubine Xian and five-year-old Song Qiyan were separated.

"I just remember that the emperor was furious at that time. He said that he would find Concubine Xian and you even if he had to turn the whole Shu upside down."

But when he looked again, he only saw the dying Concubine Xian and Song Qiyan crying beside her.

It was a sunny day that day, but suddenly the weather changed, with lightning and thunder. In the heavy rain, the emperor hugged his dead concubine and cried bitterly.

From then on, the emperor became worried, always feeling that if he had not forced Concubine Xian to marry him, she would not have died. He became depressed and developed a chronic illness.

Later, in order to cover up the truth, the emperor dismissed all the people present at the time, suppressed the matter, and never set foot in Shu again.

No one knew why the virtuous concubine died at that time. They just spread the rumor that she died of a sudden illness to protect her innocence.

"But everyone present at the time knew that Concubine Xian's death was related to the lover she had been missing at the time."

Speaking of this, there was obviously a hint of sadness in Song Qiyan's eyes, which was deep and could never be dispelled.

He knew that his mother's death that day was not that simple. He also knew that if it hadn't been for him, his mother wouldn't have fallen into the hands of that despicable person again...
