My Princess Has Been Reborn

Qi Yang's silence lasted all the way, until he returned to the princess mansion, until he lay on the couch and began to catch up on sleep, and he didn't speak again.

Lu Qipei was also silent.She didn't defend herself, nor did she disturb Qi Yang's mood, she just kept guarding her.Watching her go home, watching her fall asleep, and lying on the same bed with her, extremely exhausted but unable to fall asleep no matter what.

On the contrary, although Qi Yang was also full of worries, he unexpectedly fell asleep very quickly.

When Lu Qipei heard the light breathing from the pillow, his uneasy heart finally calmed down gradually.She waited for a while listening to the sound of breathing, and finally lifted the brocade quilt carefully and got out of bed before sleepiness hit.

Qi Yang was not awakened.

Lu Qipei dressed neatly again, took out a dark cloak and put it on, and then quietly walked out the door.

Just like what Qi Yang asked, most of the incident in Chaoyang Tower this time has something to do with Xie Yuan - although he died, it doesn't mean that the forces under his command also collapsed, especially in Liang State, Xie Yuan's forces Not suppressed at all.And Lu Qipei knew that Qi Bo's desire for revenge had never changed, and the power of the Lu family and Xie Yuan had not actually been clearly separated.

If Qi Bo contacted Xie Yuan's remnant forces and planned this assassination... On the premise of completely avoiding the Lu family's forces, it is not impossible for Qi Bo to hide things from Lu Qipei.

Lu Qipei's heart is heavy, the reason why he lacks confidence in front of Qi Yang is not because Xie Yuan is her father.It was more because of Qibo, because Qibo showed abnormalities when they met at the beginning of the year, but she did not attract enough attention.

If, if she had paid attention at that time, wouldn't what happened yesterday not happen under strict investigation?

This idea has been lingering in Lu Qipei's mind since it arose.It made her feel guilty, made her uneasy, made her wait for a moment, and went to the Lu Mansion to ask Qi Bo what happened that night!

Lu Qipei thought so, and did the same, and went out to Lu's residence in the middle of the night.

On the way, she had already thought about how to ask questions, but when the carriage stopped at Lu's mansion, she was startled when she got out of the carriage - Shangyuan had just passed, and it was for the celebration, and all the red ones were hung in front of the other house. lantern.Only the Lu Mansion had two white lanterns hanging in front of the door, which looked extraordinarily lonely and deserted amidst the festive colors.

White lights are hung outside the gate of the mansion, usually when there is a funeral in the mansion.However, there are only white lanterns outside the Lu Mansion but no white banners, and the only owner of the Lu Mansion is Lu Qipei.Now that Lu Qipei is fine, what the white lanterns in the Lu Mansion represent is subtle.

Lu Qipei looked at the white lantern in a daze, and then thought of something, his face changed slightly.

She stepped forward a few steps and knocked on the door. The gatekeeper quickly opened the door, but Lu Qipei noticed that the other party was wearing a white filial cloth around his waist.The concierge didn't look surprised when he saw her coming back late at night, so he just opened the door and said, "Young master is back?"

Lu Qipei frowned, and asked, "What's the matter with the lantern at the door and the cloth around your waist?"

The concierge was a little surprised when she heard her question, and immediately replied: "It's Qibo. Qibo is old, so he went there this morning. At noon, the mansion sent someone to the princess mansion to report, but the young master was not at the mansion at that time. ...Young Master, has this not been reported?"

Lu Qipei's eyes moved slightly when he heard the words, and he understood it - when she and Qi Yang returned to the mansion tonight, their faces were so ugly that the servants of the princess mansion dare not report it, right?After all, Qi Bo is just a housekeeper of the Lu family, and Lu Qipei is not very close to the Lu family, so in the eyes of outsiders, it is really not worthwhile to make him suffer the fate of the princess and the son-in-law.

But after thinking about what happened, Lu Qipei still couldn't believe that Qi Bo died like this.Such a person who might be the culprit died at such a sensitive moment, before she came to ask for an explanation!

A little unbelieving and a little surprised, Lu Qipei just had a calm face, and said to the concierge: "Take me there to have a look."

The concierge didn't suspect him, so he closed the door and took Lu Qipei to the mourning hall.

Speaking of which, Qi Bo is just the housekeeper of Lu's house, but who doesn't know the old people in Lu's house, the entire Lu family has been supported by Qi Bo for the past three to forty years.If it weren't for his loyalty, not to mention Lu Qipei's siblings, even their mother would have died long ago.So even if Qi Bo handed over power now and Lu Qipei took over the Lu family's power, Qi Bo's status in the Lu family is also different.

So when he died, without Lu Qipei's order, white lanterns were hung outside the Lu residence, and a mourning hall was set up in the Lu residence, and even the servants of the Lu residence consciously wore mourning.

When Lu Qipei entered the mourning hall, the servant guarding the spirit next to him was holding a filial cloth in his hand, and he didn't know whether to pass it forward.

Throughout the ages, there is no master who wears mourning for his servants.However, Qi Bo's status is somewhat different. Before Lu Qipei took over, he was actually the real master of the Lu family.But he still raised Lu Qipei's siblings, and even returned their rights to them. In the early years, Lu Qipei and Lu Qicheng also respected him as an elder.

Unfortunately, that was only the early years. Although Lu Qipei was a little afraid of Qi Bo in the early years, he really regarded him as an elder and a good person.But now that the two sides are almost torn apart, Qi Bo is more likely to leave a mess for Lu Qipei, which is a headache to think about.

Lu Qipei ignored the servant, she looked at the coffin in front of the coffin, and strode over.

The mourning hall is at a standstill, so the coffin has not been sealed yet.Lu Qipei walked to the side of the coffin and stopped, pursed her lips and stared at the coffin for a moment, when others didn't understand why, she suddenly stretched out her hand to push the lid of the coffin.

The servants next to him were startled. They wanted to stop him but dared not, so they could only watch Lu Qipei do what he did.

With a slightly dull sound, the tightly closed coffin lid was slowly pushed open.After Lu Qipei stopped his hands, he poked his head around and saw Qi Bo lying among them.His face was normal, his eyes were closed tightly, and his expression was peaceful and serene, as if he was only sleeping peacefully.

Lu Qipei looked slightly startled, and then put his hand into the coffin under the incredulous eyes of others.

She felt for Qi Bo's breath, and then felt Qi Bo's pulse, and finally even touched his face to make sure there was no trace of disguise, and then she had to believe that Qi Bo was really dead.Died so unexpectedly!

After a moment of silence, Lu Qipei turned his head and asked, "What's going on? Qi Bo is fine, why did he go all of a sudden?"

Until he came back from Lu's residence, Lu Qipei didn't fully understand what Qi Bo was thinking.

It was obviously not a coincidence that Qibo died at this time.However, when Lu Qipei asked the servants in the mansion, they all said that Qi Bo died peacefully, lying on the bed without any illness - he was not murdered, if he did not die naturally, he should have committed suicide.

Did he commit suicide just after successfully assassinating the emperor and prince?Is it because there is no regret after the big revenge has been avenged, or because I don't want to involve more self-destruction?Lu Qipei couldn't figure it out, but his heart was so blocked that he fell into a daze and entanglement.

Even when she returned to the princess mansion, she didn't rest, and sat in front of the window for another night.

The next morning, Qi Yang woke up, but there was no familiar temperature around him.After she fell into a deep sleep, she was still a little dazed, she sat up and subconsciously began to look for Lu Qipei's figure, until she saw the person sitting in front of the window, her frown was relieved.

Xu Shi calmed down a lot after this night, maybe he couldn't create a barrier to the person in front of him at all.Qi Yang got up and walked over, asking, "Why do you get up so early?"

Hearing this, Lu Qipei looked back at her, seeing her barefoot in the cold, subconsciously hugged her first.But then he remembered Qi Yang's indifference last night, so he froze.She glanced at Qi Yang's expression, and saw that there was no disgust or rejection in her eyes, her stiff and tense body relaxed a little, and then carried her back to the couch and resettled her.

Qi Yang brushed her fingertips under her eyes, and frowned: "Why are your eyes so black?" He touched the other half of the cold bed, and asked: "You didn't sleep last night?! "

Lu Qipei lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer, it took him a while to say: "Uncle Qi went yesterday."

Qi Yang was also stunned when she heard the words, she didn't react for a while, she even blurted out quite naively: "Could it be that this has nothing to do with him?"

Qi Bo died, but it was also because of his death that it proved that this matter must be related to him.

The two were relatively silent, and the atmosphere that had just improved in the morning seemed to have dropped back to freezing point.In the end, it was Lu Qipei who mustered up the courage to speak again: "Last night, I went back to Lu's residence, and someone checked it out. No one from the Lu family intervened in this matter."

Hearing this, Qi Yang looked at her, seeing Lu Qipei's frank and apprehensive eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart.Of course she believed in Lu Qipei, there was no one beside her who knew better than her, but in the current situation, it was too difficult to be innocent.

After a long time, Qi Yang looked away and said, "You mean, there is another force dormant in Xie Yuan in the dark?"

Lu Qipei shook her head when she heard the words, and when she talked about the business, her expression calmed down a lot: "It should be gone. In my opinion, the change of Chaoyang Tower is a desperate revenge. The forces hidden in the palace should be It was Xie Yuan's last trump card, but now they are all dismantled by Dali Temple Minister. Unless they still have a way to mobilize the army and disrupt the situation in Beijing, otherwise it will be a dead end."

It is impossible to mobilize the army, and the emperor is not a faint king.Regardless of the Habayashi in the palace, the Xiaoqi battalion outside the palace, or the garrison outside the city, the soldiers in the three places are all the emperor's confidantes.If it weren't for the imperial decree of the emperor's tiger talisman, it would be impossible for others to mobilize him!

Qi Yang looked at Lu Qipei, Lu Qipei was startled for a moment, then immediately showed a sense of understanding, took out the Yulin Token from his bosom and handed it to Qi Yang.

Lu Qipei's action was natural, and there was no trace of aggrieved and reluctant expression on his face, which was so frank that it made people feel ashamed.

Qi Yang did not accept the token in the end, she turned her head away and stood up: "You should take a rest. If there is such a change in the palace, you may be summoned at any time. And Yulin, you also need to take over as soon as possible, after that There is no more time for you to rest."

After saying this, Qi Yang got up and went to bed, this time she remembered to put on her shoes.

Lu Qipei withdrew his hand and brow softly, and responded in a low voice: "Okay."
