happy rebirth

To be precise, the letter to Ke Qi was not written by Brother Xie himself, but dictated by him and then written down by others.There were only a few words in the letter. First, it told Ke Qimo not to worry about him, and then he promised that he would return safely.But this is not the point of the letter from the elder brother.The big brother's point is very clear, he sent a letter to Ke Qi, just want to emphasize one point - Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua must not leave the capital.

Xie Chunying was seriously injured. Since the Qingyang Hou Mansion knew the news, they must send someone to take care of him, so why didn't he allow Ke Qi to leave the capital?Perhaps it was because he felt that Ke Qi was more suitable to sit in the capital.This reason is actually very reliable.But Xie Chunying specifically emphasized that Xie Jinhua also cannot leave, so Ke Qi immediately had a thought in his mind, the person the elder brother really wants to restrict is Xie Jinhua, right?

As early as two years ago, Ke Qi began to doubt Xie Jinhua's life experience.

What Ke Qi can be sure of is that Xie Jinhua is definitely not the child of Aunt Jiang Yu.As for who Xie Jinhua's biological mother is, and whether his biological father is Lord Xie Houye, Ke Qi is not quite sure.He has been observing in secret, but has never found any useful clues.

At this time, the letter from the eldest brother gave Ke Qi a very bold hypothesis.

Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua are both officials appointed by the imperial court. As Beijing officials, they cannot leave Beijing without authorization.To put it bluntly, not to mention that Xie Chunying was only injured, even if Xie Chunying died in office, Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua may not be able to find a chance to leave Beijing to go to the eldest brother.Under such circumstances, Xie Chunying specially ordered someone to send a letter, which emphasized that Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua would not be allowed to leave Beijing, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

So, why does the eldest brother pay so much attention to this matter?It was probably because the eldest brother felt that it would be dangerous for Xie Jinhua to leave the capital.

What is the danger?It could only be Qinglian Sect.

Ke Qi has reason to believe that the elder brother doesn't want Xie Jinhua and Qinglian to fight against each other!

The Qinglian Sect was a rebellious force from the previous dynasty. Xie Chunying was unwilling to let Xie Jinhua step into the sphere of influence of the Qinglian Sect. Could it be that Xie Jinhua actually had a little connection with the Qinglian Sect?Does Xie Jinhua really have the blood of the former royal family?That's why the elder brother thinks it's never too much to be careful?

Ke Qi only felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet.

In fact, Ke Qi had more or less suspected that Xie Jinhua had something to do with the former royal family, but at that time he didn't dare to think about it, so he suppressed this doubt with a fluke mentality.But now, this brief letter from the eldest brother made Ke Qi unable to continue deceiving himself and others.

Maybe I should form a fleet privately so that I can take Xie Jinhua to the end of the world in case of an accident in the future.

Ke Qi thought so.However, considering the actual situation, his idea is just a fantasy.

Ke Qi sighed deeply in his heart.

At night, all the masters in Xie's mansion knew that Brother Xie had been attacked and injured.

Lord Xie Hou gathered the remaining sons together.The letter Hou Ye received was actually written by Xie Chunying's confidant, and the confidant gave a general account of Xie Chunying's situation.The whole thing was indeed taught by Qinglian. Xie Chunying avoided the sword, but accidentally fell into the river, which happened to be the bend of the river, and the rapid and swirling water rushed Xie Chunying several hundred meters away.Xie Chunying suffered some internal injuries and had a persistent high fever.

"Cheer up, all of you. Thanks to the guards sent by the General Zhen Guo's mansion, the boss was able to save his life this time. Third, you will accompany your wife back to your mother's house tomorrow, and thank the old general on behalf of our whole family." Xie Houye didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly assigned tasks to his sons, "Second child, I have asked your wife to pack up useful medicinal materials. You should go to the boss right away. I will leave the boss to you."

After ordering Xie Er and Xie San, Lord Xie looked at Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua's eyes were still red, which showed that he had just cried.In fact, Xie Er and Xie San both cried.It is said that men don't flick their tears lightly, but they haven't reached the point of sadness.Father and brother's eldest brother suffered such a catastrophe, if this can't make people feel sad and anxious, wouldn't they be too heartless?

It's just that it's not okay to cry, it's unlucky.Although the eye sockets were involuntarily red, I still had to try my best to hold back the tears.

Master Xie looked at Xie Jinhua with complicated eyes, and said, "Little Four... If you have the heart, go to the ancestral hall and pay homage to the ancestor tablet. This is also to pray for the boss. The ancestors will bless him. Ke Qi, you Look at Xiaosi a little bit, don't let him kneel for too long, just do what you can."

Xie Jinhua went to kneel in the ancestral hall without saying a word.

The beams of the ancestral hall are built very high, so the whole ancestral hall naturally creates a solemn and solemn feeling.Because the Qingyang Hou Mansion has been passed down for a long time, the memorial tablets are densely packed.The draft whistled past, with a certain solemnity.Xie Jinhua first put incense on the ancestors, and then knelt on the futon, first recited prayers silently to the ancestors, and then recited the Buddhist scriptures for eliminating disasters and prolonging life in turn, and the Taoist Taiyi Jingguang mantra.

People at this time originally believed in the destiny of ghosts and gods. Although Xie Jinhua was not a devout believer, he was always in awe of ghosts and gods.Now that his eldest brother is injured, he can do nothing but pray for his safety, so his attitude is very reverent and respectful.

Ke Qi accompanied Xie Jinhua.

The ancestral tablets stood there silently, as if there was no sorrow or joy.When Xie Jinhua's physical strength was really exhausted, his knees were swollen.But he didn't seem to feel the pain.Because, he was looking forward to a little more, if he knelt here for a while, his elder brother would have more peace.

Xie Er left the capital overnight.When Xie Jinhua left the ancestral hall, Xie Erdu had already sailed south by boat.

Ke Qi helped Xie Jinhua back to Weizhen Pavilion.Not long after they left, Lord Xie entered the ancestral hall.In the bright and dark candlelight, Lord Hou burned incense to all the ancestors, and also burned incense to his original wife.He was silent for a long time, probably because everything he wanted to say was in his heart.

"Brother will be fine." Xie Jinhua said.

Ke Qi held a steaming handkerchief, helped Xie Jinhua to apply it to his knee, and said, "Your Majesty has already said that elder brother has a persistent high fever, which makes people feel dangerous. No matter how fast the letter is delivered, it will take a few days on the road." , maybe the eldest brother has already had a fever. With his heart, once he has a fever, he will definitely send another letter, and we will never let us continue to worry. Don't worry, maybe the letter from the eldest brother reporting his safety is already on the way .”

Information transmission in ancient times is so inconvenient, if only there is a telephone.

"I want to take care of elder brother." Xie Jinhua said again.

Ke Qi persuaded calmly: "If it is possible, I also want to take care of elder brother. I am always worried if I don't see elder brother with my own eyes. However, when the emperor sent someone to take the imperial doctor to elder brother's place today, I proposed I want to follow, but the emperor didn't agree. I usually think that being an official in the court is a matter of honoring the ancestors, but at this time, I feel that it is better not to be an official. If you are not an official, at least you will be free, and you don't have to sit around and worry about it."

It is a serious crime for an official to leave Beijing without authorization!

Xie Jinhua's eyelids drooped, and he said: "When I was sick, my elder brother would always sit by the bed and accompany me. I was very young at that time, but I remember it very clearly." His tone was full of nostalgia, and also Full of helplessness that I can't do anything for my elder brother except pray for blessings.

"Brother will be fine." Ke Qi said.

That night, no one slept soundly.Ke Qi opened his eyes and thought about things in the dark, worried about Xie Chunying's body, and also worried about Xie Jinhua's life experience.He slowed down his breathing and pretended to be asleep. This was to prevent Xie Jinhua from worrying, and he didn't want to disturb Xie Jinhua's sleep.But in fact, although Ke Qi's body was exhausted, he couldn't sleep no matter what, and his heart hurt like a fire was burning.

Ke Qi thought and thought, and decided to get up and write the notes.When he moved, Xie Jinhua also moved.

It turned out that Xie Jinhua was not asleep either, but in order not to worry Ke Qi, he pretended to be asleep too.

"What are you doing?" Xie Jinhua asked.

"Go write the notebook. I had an idea earlier, and I was hesitant to take it out." Ke Qi explained in a low voice, "Now that my brother is injured, it's a good time. I just wrote the draft in my heart. Hurry up and write it silently, and submit it directly to the emperor tomorrow."

There must always be someone who can speak in front of the emperor. It used to be Xie Chunying, but now it is Ke Qi.

If Ke Qi's excerpts can be valued by Emperor Karui, it will be a great contribution.In officialdom, he pursues the golden mean.In fact, Ke Qi knows very well that at his age, he shouldn't be so high-profile, and should keep a low profile for a few years.But since you have chosen a high profile, let's keep it high profile.

Xie Jinhua didn't ask about the specific content of the booklet, sat up halfway, and said, "I'll study ink for you."

Ke Qi shook his head, helped Xie Jinhua cover the quilt again, and said: "Go to sleep. Don't forget, you will continue to pray for the eldest brother tomorrow. If you can't support your physical strength and suddenly collapse, what should you do about praying?" ? Even if it’s for the sake of big brother, you have to force yourself to sleep.”

Xie Jinhua now values ​​praying for blessings the most. Hearing what Ke Qi said, he naturally wished he could knock himself out with a stone.

Fainting and falling asleep are actually the same.

Ke Qi put on some clothes and went to the study.The couple have long been used to not leaving anyone around when they sleep, but Xie Jinhua is a Hou Menzi after all, so it's fine if he doesn't keep anyone around, it's impossible not to keep people outside.Seeing that Ke Qi had gotten up, Li Sang quickly lit the lamp and made tea for Ke Qi.

Ke Qi didn't bother to drink a sip.He was busy putting his thoughts on paper.

Li Sang doesn't know that Ke Qi is actually under a lot of psychological pressure.One by one immature thoughts were written on paper, crossed out one by one, and then replaced with more mature plans.Ke Qi's mind was running at high speed, and his thinking had never been so clear as it is now.

Pressure is power!

When a ray of sky opened up in the sky, Ke Qi's notes were also written.After the ink was dry, Ke Qi closed the booklet and stroked the silk cover of the booklet with his hands.He stayed up all night because of something on his mind, his eyes were blue and gray, and he looked extremely tired, but his eyes were bright.

At this moment, Ke Qi's thoughts were the same as Xie Chunying's.

As for the doubts about Xie Jinhua's life experience, either hide him strictly, or block all wind knives and frost swords for him.

Hiding is no longer possible.Ke Qi hoped that Xie Jinhua didn't know anything. He hoped that Xie Jinhua would have three or five confidants in his life, a career to work hard for, and someone who could be loved by others and whom he loved.What Xie Chunying worked so hard for has now been taken over by Ke Qi.

Ke Qi has always been an ambitious person.Ambitious doesn't sound like a good word.Some people are ambitious, and their desire for power is higher than everything else, higher than relatives, higher than love, higher than friendship.But Ke Qi's ambition always has a heart of love for his family.

This is actually not a contradiction.

Ke Qi hoped that he could create an invisible barrier.Inside the enchantment, there is only spring warmth and only flowers blooming.
