Everlasting prosperity

Qu's learned that Xiao Yizhi was injured and survived, although he couldn't understand it, but when he thought of Yu Linyuan's current situation in the court, he could only temporarily accept it.

She glanced at a picture scroll on the case table. The woman on the picture scroll was extremely beautiful, and there was an inscription on the right side:

The country is full of golden branches and jade leaves, talking and laughing only for Qing.

She suddenly remembered the first time she saw Yu Linmuqing in the General's Mansion more than 20 years ago. She still remembered the amazement and bewilderment in his eyes when he saw her. She thought it was ten thousand years old.

But what she never expected was that the man who promised her eternal life at that time would become friends with others in the blink of an eye.At first, she just thought that this man might be a whim, and he would return to her side after a while, but she was wrong.

This man was just using her from the beginning to the end!Use her family status to ascend to that supreme position!And he has no affection for himself at all!It's just a play on the occasion, from the beginning to the end, it's all her wishful thinking!

The more Qu thought about it, the more resentful he became, his eyes showed a kind of ruthless determination, extremely ruthless.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is asking to see you." The servant-in-law said respectfully.

Hearing Qu's, a beautiful and delicate face appeared in Yu Linmuqing's mind, and she remembered the beautiful woman she saw more than 20 years ago, smiling and looking at herself at the edge of the military training ground.

But then, he remembered that it was this woman who was kneeling at his feet, staring viciously, eyes full of viciousness, saying "I just want her to die!", and taking his own child Threatened himself, without a trace of gentleness and gentleness that he saw that day.

Seeing that the emperor didn't reply, the servant eunuch said again, "Then the old servant will let the empress go back."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and prepared to send Qu Shi away.

"Wait!" Yu Linmuqing suddenly stopped him.

The servant's father-in-law turned around, bowed respectfully, and waited for his next order.

"Let her in." Yu Linmuqing said.

"Yes."

Immediately, Yu Linmuqing put down the pen in his hand, put it on the pen case, picked up the folder and blew gently, then put it aside, tidied up the case, and then walked off the desk.

Coming in from the entrance of the hall was a woman in red and plain clothes.

This is the clothes she wore when meeting Qu Shi for the first time.

"The concubine has met the emperor." Qu Shi bowed respectfully and said softly.

Suddenly, Yu Linmuqing's thoughts were pulled back to the encounter more than 20 years ago again. He looked at Qu Shi in front of him. The harmless and pure woman many years ago is not as cruel and vicious as she was later.

But that is the past after all.

The current Qu Shi is not the person he was more than 20 years ago.

"My concubine came today, what's the matter?" Yu Linmuqing asked coldly.

Hearing his cold tone, Qu's heart still paused, probably because there was still a lingering obsession in her heart, but when this person spoke, this remnant of hers disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember this dress?" Qu Shi asked softly.

Yu Linmuqing glanced at her, then moved her eyes away from her, and her tone softened a bit, "When I first met you, you wore this outfit, why are you wearing it again today?"

Hearing the reply, Qu Shi couldn't help feeling a little bit happy, but it was extinguished in an instant.

"If you have anything to do, just say it directly, there is no need to bother." Yu Linmuqing said again, her tone became cold instantly, without the softness just now.

"Since your Majesty said so, then the concubine will not go around in circles!" Qu Shi also lowered her voice and said with cold eyes looking at Yu Linmuqing.

Hearing this, Yu Linmuqing was not surprised, what she could think of, this smart woman could also think of and do.At the banquet that day, since he could recognize Xiao Yizhi at a glance, then this woman who hated Xiao Yuzhi to the bone must also be able to recognize it at a glance, maybe the assassination was done by this woman.

"Your Majesty already knows the identity of Mr. Xiao." Qu said with certainty.

Hearing this, Yu Linmuqing snorted coldly and responded, "He is not Yuzhi's child."

Hearing this, Qu raised the corners of his mouth and said with a sneer, "No? Then why did you look so sad at the bank of Wugui River that day? Could it be because of what Young Master Xiao said to you?"

"What did you say? It's just the details of the case of the Chen family. I never imagined that a woman would drive a person who loves her crazy out of greed. How much pain should that crazy woman feel in her heart?" Yu said. Lin Muqing approached Qu Shi step by step, staring into her eyes, as if trying to see through her, her words seemed to have some meaning.

Seeing the suspicion and threat in Yu Linmuqing's eyes, Qu Shi turned her face away, raised her chin, and replied in a cold voice, "It's only because she loved the wrong person and hurt herself."

You mean, love wronged me, right?

Yu Linmuqing couldn't help thinking this way, and an inexplicable anger welled up in her heart.

Is this not your own fault?

"Oh, is that so?" Yu Linmuqing asked contemptuously.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to deny, who is Mr. Xiao, the concubine will find out, the person who shouldn't exist 20 years ago, shouldn't be alive 20 years later." Qu looked at Yu Linmuqing viciously, and said viciously .

Hearing this, Yu Linmuqing suddenly tightened her pupils, squinted her eyes and stared fiercely at the kind-hearted woman in front of her.

"I said it, but he's not." He gritted his teeth.

Seeing the ferocious look in Yu Linmuqing's eyes, Qu Shi didn't back down at all, and faced him contemptuously with her chin up. After a while, she suddenly took a step back to distance herself from him.

"Since your majesty is so sure, then the concubine should treat him as something wrong." Qu Shi said leisurely, and then said again, "But your majesty, no matter how bad your majesty is, you won't ignore your own children and ask your majesty Don't forget A Yuan."

Hearing Yu Linyuan suddenly, Yu Linmuqing felt a little angry. Thinking of Yu Linyuan's unbelievable look at his mother and concubine when he was a child, he felt a twinge in his heart. After all, he owed a lot to this child.

Although this woman has a lot of sins, but the crime is not as good as that of the younger generation, not to mention that he knows nothing about it, and was used by his biological mother, because it was his biological mother's fault. I have been alienated from him all these years, but he has never alienated himself , everything always goes smoothly.

Speaking of this child, he is very happy. He has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, can see current events clearly, and can tell right from wrong, but he never imagined that one day, he would break away from the government and become addicted to drinking and sex overnight.

When he learned of this incident, he beat him thirty times in anger, reflecting on the fact that he had been confined to the palace for more than half a year. Unexpectedly, after the incident, he still went his own way, went back to his old business, and even became more arrogant and unruly.

Just when he thought that Yu Linyuan had fallen for this, he actually offered to go to Dongyang Prefecture to try the case of the Chen family, which really made his eyes shine, but he was a little puzzled when he asked for Dali prison to accompany him.

All these years, Yu Lin has been far away from the government, how did he know that the position of Dali Supervisor is called Mu Qi, a new official who has been in office for two years?

But despite his doubts, he still complied with Yu Linyuan's request.After all, it would be a good thing if he didn't fall any longer.

"A Yuan has been smart since childhood, so you don't have to worry." Yu Linmuqing said.

Hearing what he said, Qu said again, "But what about the future? Does Your Majesty think that with his current status, he can enjoy his life in peace?"

Being mentioned by Qu's like this, Yu Linmuqing understood, he snorted coldly, thinking in his heart, do he still want to use him to protect himself?

"Qu Aifei, don't interfere in politics in the harem, don't forget your duty." Yu Linmuqing warned in a cold voice.

Qu sneered and raised the corners of his mouth, and responded, "I dare not, my concubine only has A Yuan as a son, so I am naturally concerned."

"If you were concerned, you shouldn't have threatened me with him in the first place." Yu Linmuqing sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"Now that the concubine knows his mistake, please be magnanimous." Qu Shi responded calmly, holding back a burst of anger.

Yu Linmuqing looked at her, a little surprised, this woman who would threaten her with her own child at the beginning, but now bows her head and admits her mistake for the sake of her own child, is really surprising.

"Okay, you go back. After all, A Yuan is my own son, and I will naturally not ignore him." Yu Linmuqing flicked his sleeves, turned and walked to the table, sitting down and picking up a bag while talking. The booklet, ready to start the board.

Seeing that Yu Linmuqing had already started dismissing herself, Qu Shi owed her body.

"The concubine is also relieved, the concubine will leave first."

After some conversations, Qu's already understood Yu Linmuqing's intention, and Yu Linmuqing also rethought the intention of Qu's meeting today.

Obviously, the group that assassinated Xiao Yizhi that day was sent by the Qu family. Her purpose was to get rid of everything about Xiao Yuzhi, and she involved Yu Linyuan in the hope that she would pass on the throne to him in the future. Of course, I don't hope that Xiao Yizhi will come to participate again when the time comes.

But she wouldn't know that Xiao Yizhi had no intention of taking the throne at all, so naturally he couldn't pose a threat to Yu Linyuan.

Qu Shi, who returned to the bedroom, looked at the picture scrolls hanging on the side of the table, took a deep breath, turned around and took out the fire folder from the wooden drawer under the table, lit it with one hand, picked up the picture scroll on the wall with the other hand, and lit it. corner.

Then I watched the flames burn more and more intensely, spreading upward inch by inch, swallowing up the beauty on the scroll inch by inch.

Seeing the painting being burned bit by bit, Qu Shi felt pain in her heart, but she didn't stop at all, just watched the fire destroy the whole painting, just like watching that person slowly exhausting herself All obsessions.

At the end of the burning, Qu let go of the scroll and let the scroll fall to the ground, clapped his hands, and walked away indifferently.

"Come here." Qu Shi called out.

A maid walked in from the door, bent over and walked in front of Qu's with small steps, glanced at the ground, understood, turned around quickly and went to deal with it.

Qu went to a place and sat down, stretched out his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, drank it leisurely, and watched the servant girl kneeling on the ground, wiping it carefully.

Seeing that she was almost finished, she stood up again, took out a white porcelain bottle from the cabinet, handed it to the maidservant, patted her hand lightly, walked towards the piano table, sat down slowly, stretched out her hand Gently plucking the strings.

Half a month later——

Xiao Yizhi glanced at the scar on his arm, stretched out his hand to touch it, then put on his clothes, stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Will Yizhi stop sleeping for a while?" Ji Anjun looked sideways at Xiao Yizhi who was arranging his clothes, and asked lazily.

"Enter the palace today, let's say goodbye, let's leave here." Xiao Yizhi looked back at him and replied.

Hearing this, Ji Anjun suddenly realized, a carp stood up straight.

"I'll go with you," he said.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yizhi asked suspiciously.

"I'm also a distinguished guest of Gao An." Ji Anjun replied as a matter of course.

Xiao Yizhi smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Then hurry up, the groom I called won't wait for you."

Hearing this, Ji Anjun quickly jumped out of bed, picked up the clothes hanging on the screen, and quickly put them on himself.

And Xiao Yizhi looked at the people who were in a hurry, shook his head funny, walked aside on his own, and started to wash.

Inside Taiyuan Palace——

Yu Linmuqing didn't know when she started to have a headache. Looking at the courtiers above the court, she felt a severe headache.It was a little pain at first, but I thought it must be because I was too tired, so I fell asleep early these few days, but I didn't know that I got up the next day with a worse headache.

The servants were in a hurry, and the doctors from the imperial hospital were invited to find out why, but they only stayed here because they were overworked. This is not another early morning.

"Eunuch, please inform me that we are leaving for Beili today, and we are here to bid farewell to you." Ji Anjun said respectfully.

The servant eunuch looked at the two people in front of him in embarrassment, and replied, "My lords, your majesty has been feeling unwell recently, so I'm afraid it's not suitable to see guests."

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhi frowned. It's been a long time since we saw each other. Is he sick?

"What did the doctor say?" Xiao Yizhi asked.

"The doctor said, maybe it's due to overwork, and it will be better if you take a rest for a while." The servant eunuch replied.

"So that's the case, then..."

"Father-in-law!"

A father-in-law trotted over from a distance, and whispered something into the ear of the servant.

"My lords, your honor." The eunuch servant suddenly changed his words and said respectfully.

Xiao Yizhi and Ji Anjun looked at each other, then followed the servant and eunuch and walked into the palace gate.

Yu Linmuqing sat upright on the wooden chair, propping her head with one hand, rubbing it gently, and holding the booklet in the other hand, reading it carefully.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

When the two saw Yu Linmuqing, they knelt down together and said respectfully.

When Yu Linmuqing saw the person coming, she quickly put down the bag in her hand, walked to the couch, gently lifted the two of them up, flicked her sleeves, and dismissed all the attendants in the palace.

Ji Anjun looked around and saw Yu Linmuqing looking at Xiao Yizhi with kindness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to say goodbye today." Ji An Jun arched his hands and said respectfully.

"Are you leaving?" Yu Linmuqing was puzzled, and quietly glanced at Xiao Yizhi, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Ji Anjun glanced at Xiao Yizhi beside him, and replied, "Yes."

Hearing this, Yu Linmuqing looked at Ji Anjun, then at Xiao Yizhi, and said, "Forget it, since you have already made a decision, it is inconvenient for me to force you to stay."

Having said this, Xiao Yizhi was about to say goodbye.

"Yizhi!" Yu Linmuqing finally couldn't help shouting.

Xiao Yizhi looked back at him, saw that his eyes were full of reluctance, his heart tightened, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Be careful on the road." Yu Linmuqing exhorted softly.

"Thank you for your concern." Xiao Yizhi arched his hands, bowed deeply to him in a daze, and replied sternly.

Immediately, Xiao Yizhi turned around and walked away, stepping out of the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, as a father, has already fulfilled his duty. My Majesty, please leave." Ji Anjun looked at him and said softly.

Hearing this, Yu Linmuqing looked at him in surprise, unexpectedly, did the two of them have such a heart-to-heart relationship?

"Young master, please promise me one thing." Yu Linmuqing said.

"Your Majesty orders." Ji Anjun replied.

"My lord, please take good care of him." Yu Linmuqing arched his hands and bent towards Ji Anjun.

Ji Anjun quickly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Don't worry, your lord, he is my only friend in my life, and I will live up to it in this life."

Hearing his oath, Yu Linmuqing nodded in satisfaction, and bowed to him again to show his thanks.

Yizhi, my child, I have failed you in this life, I only hope that you will not join the royal family in the next life, but be an ordinary person, and you will be lucky to spend this life well.
