Yu Zhaoyi had thought countless times, if the seventh child also awakened to martial arts, what would happen to the emperor, what would happen to the father and the second prince, what would happen to that woman if she knew how to do it... and what would happen to herself.

Perhaps His Majesty will consider Lao Qi as a candidate for the Crown Prince, and have high expectations and strict requirements for him;

Maybe the father, who has always been strategizing, will be in a dilemma, hesitating, not knowing which grandson to turn to and help;

Perhaps the young second prince would feel fearful, suspicious, and panicked, and would no longer dare to treat Lao Qi as his own brother;

And that hypocritical woman, if she had the chance to find out, she would probably regret giving her a chance to give birth to a prince for the sake of a little fame.

As for Yu Zhaoyi herself, maybe she will let go of her previous obsessions, regard this son as a treasure, raise him well, and then help him inherit the throne and become a legitimate queen mother... It is not because of that woman's son that she can get the honor!

The father only thought about the prosperity of the family, and did not regard her as a daughter; the woman only thought of her own son, and did not regard her as a younger sister; even His Majesty only wanted to appease and commemorate her His virtuous and virtuous concubine protects and loves his young son, that's why she was allowed to enter the palace...

So from the moment she entered the palace, Yu Zhaoyi knew that her father was no longer her father, her sister was no longer her sister, and His Majesty would never be her husband.

She is just a person, what she wants and what she wants to destroy can only be done by her own hands.

From the moment Lao Qi was born, Yu Zhaoyi couldn't remember how many times she had been disappointed.

From the initial loss but still some expectations, then waiting year after year, and then slowly giving up, and then in the summer for several consecutive years, some hope was born, and finally disappointed again and again.

Her son hadn't awakened to martial arts, so he was born inferior to that woman's son... This is an irrefutable fact.

Because of the woman's hypocritical pity, she was allowed to give birth to this prince, but for Yu Zhaoyi, it was all in vain in the end.

Therefore, in Yu Zhaoyi's view, His Majesty is still His Majesty, Duke An is still Duke An, concubine De is still Concubine De, and the second prince is still the second prince.

They like Lao Qi, worry about Lao Qi, and love Lao Qi, all because Lao Qi cannot and cannot compete.

The mission that Yu Zhaoyi had to complete when she entered the palace seemed to have been completed by the second prince and the crown. She became useless and could finally retire.As for Lao Qi, whether he was a trash ridiculed by others behind his back didn't seem to be that important anymore.

But the unwillingness accumulated over the years, the hatred that once made her toss and turn and keep her awake at night, will not disappear so easily.

Yao Shi and Fang Shi, no matter how rampant they are and how annoying they are, how can they be more disgusting than the so-called relatives who put a knife in her heart.

Yu Zhaoyi even once felt that even if the fifth or sixth child got his wish, he would be happier than making the second child the emperor.

That woman will not be on her head forever, and I will never live on the pity and sympathy of their mother and child.

Therefore, when the eldest prince came into her sight, Yu Zhaoyi quickly made a decision.

——The eldest son of such a biological mother who can't fight, but possesses martial arts, may be a good choice as an ally.

As for her seventh child, even if she doesn't have martial arts, at least she can stay in Tianjing while she is alive. If she adopts another child with martial arts from the clan, she can enjoy the blessings in Tianjing for a longer period of time.

As for the second prince who was once the proud son of heaven, even if he didn't lose his life in the battle, he could only go to the fief obediently. After three generations, he would be no different from ordinary people, mediocre.

At that time, her father An Guogong, Concubine De, who has been dead for many years, and her surviving son, will be able to fully understand what it means to be a dream and an empty dream.

……

If you want to accomplish what you want, you have to find a way to deceive everyone, even your own son.

Because whenever she shows something wrong, the so-called husband, the so-called father will get rid of her mercilessly to protect the second prince.

Therefore, she had to be a good concubine, a good daughter, a good sister, and a good aunt for the time being, until she could find the most suitable time to tear up these hypocritical illusions with her own hands.

At first, everything went smoothly.

She quickly gained the trust of the queen mother, the emperor, and An Guogong, and was also liked by the second prince. She played the role they wanted her to be, and then secretly formed a tacit understanding with the ambitious first prince, and carried out this common goal step by step. plan.

They have contributed to many things over the years, sometimes even if they are aware of or even know about the actions of the fifth and sixth child, they still pretend not to know, and even contribute to the flames.

But in this process, there are always some exceptions.

For Yu Zhaoyi, the biggest accident all came from Lao Qi.

Lao Qi is so kind, whether it is his mother or not, he can see his pure, kind and beautiful temperament.

Sometimes, when Yu Zhaoyi saw Xiao Shiyi raised by Lao Qi, she would feel that the child was really like Lao Qi when he was a child, smart, well-behaved and beautiful, but without martial arts.

Even though the biological mother always behaved better and cared more about the second prince, Qi Jing only had some harmless jealousy when she was a child, but when she grew up, she was relieved, looked away, and could listen to her arrangement to help the second prince with things.

Different from her only superficial work, Lao Qi really regards Qi Heng as his elder brother.

Maybe it's to please her mother, maybe he also wants to get along well with his brother, he has been working hard... Yu Zhaoyi can see how much effort Lao Qi has put into this.

Although she knew that Qi Jing was close to his second brother because of her mother at first, but the more she saw this, the more distorted and unhappy Yu Zhaoyi felt.

There was even a period of time when she began to feel that her son was no longer her property, but also her enemy, and she didn't want to see this rebellious and eccentric son at all.

So as long as Qi Jing tried to get close, she would push him away indifferently... Such a push would last ten years.

I don't know when it started, but Lao Qi has also changed.

He has grown taller, he is good at civil and military skills, he is also more eloquent, and he is more able to please the elders.But he became estranged from Yu Zhaoyi, and he was no longer as obedient as he was when he was a child.

He was no longer happy because of her, no longer nervous because of her sadness, and no longer ran to her Wensi Hall frequently, just to see his mother.

Qi Jing became more independent and outstanding, and became indifferent and guarded towards her...

Sometimes Yu Zhaoyi can see many complicated emotions on his face and eyes.

Originally, she thought that after the prince built the mansion, the responsibilities had to be changed, but later she found out that his maturity was completely reborn and accomplished in one go, much stronger than the older Qi Zhuo.

Of course, in some respects, he has not changed.

For example, when Qi Heng encounters troubles and dangers, he will always find a way to lend a helping hand immediately. Even if he can't change anything, at least he has tried his best to persuade him and fought for it himself, so he doesn't feel annoyed at all.

Even for the eldest prince, when he could plead for mercy, he would plead for mercy... When everyone chose to stand on the sidelines and weigh the pros and cons.

But what Lao Qi doesn't know is that some people look extremely pitiful, but they actually harbor evil intentions.

When Prince Lang knelt outside the Zichen Hall as punishment, he actually saw the right time and did it on purpose.

He asked Yu Zhaoyi to delay sending a message to the outside, just to kneel for a long time, to pave the way for his later illness, and to let the elders feel pity and sympathy.

In this way, not only did he not have to go to Shaohai, but most of the errands in the household department could be recovered, which was beneficial and harmless.

Qi Jing treats the eldest prince like this, but Qi Lang still wants to take his life... If it is said that God is unfair to her, how has it ever been fair to Lao Qi?

……

"When did he become like this?" After a while, Yu Zhaoyi asked Shaoxuan who was standing beside him now.

At this moment, she actually had an answer in her heart.

Since the imperial doctor hadn't discovered it, and there was no abnormality when the acupuncture was given in the morning, it means that Lao Qi's reincarnation of his ancestors was a very unexpected and sudden thing.

In such a short period of time, not to mention the stable-looking Xu Shaoxuan beside her and Lao Qi, who is Prince Jing's personal maid and confidant internal officials, they didn't seem to be particularly panicked... This only shows that they have known for a long time Lao Qi is the soul of the ancestors.

Such a big matter, if Lao Qi hadn't ordered them not to speak out, how dare they hide it like this.

——So, why does Lao Qi hide the fact that he is the soul of his ancestors?

The answer is somewhat surprising, but it is obvious.

Because he has no pursuit of reserve positions, and he is not even so attached to imperial power and wealth, so he would rather hide his talents and abilities than let others know his identity, lest some people have greater expectations of him, while others will not. Give birth to more defenses and even do things that hurt him.

——Her seventh son is the soul of the ancestors, her son is indeed the best, so he...

Just when Yu Zhaoyi's heart was surging, a stern voice sounded: "He didn't want to say it in the past, and he won't want to say it in the future."

Yu Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, and after a while of reaction, she turned her head and stared at the person who spoke.

But Shaoxuan didn't seem to see the confusion and unwillingness in her eyes, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to rearrange the quilt that the little leopard had lifted.

This tall man was half kneeling beside the bed, his movements were indescribably gentle and patient, and he looked at the Seventh Prince with pious and affectionate eyes.

Yu Zhaoyi didn't have time to distinguish the meaning behind his feelings, she just suddenly envied Xu Shaoxuan.

——Once upon a time, she could also listen to Ah Jing's thoughts and secrets, she also tucked the quilt for him in the cold winter, and she also received his unreserved love and trust...

They stood by the bed like this, watching for a long time, the little leopard on the bed turned over again, but never woke up.

This time, Yu Zhaoyi sat on the side of the bed without waiting for Xu Shaoxuan to move, and covered the little leopard with a quilt.

She seemed to want to touch it, but in the end she didn't reach out.

"Take good care of him." After she said this, she stood up and left without looking back.

……

When Qi Jing woke up, it was a night in the first month of the lunar year.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his father looking at him with complicated eyes, and he was in a daze for a moment.

Then he slowly came back to his senses, and noticed that he was not lying in the palace, but in the Zichen Palace, and was so scared that he almost jumped up.

It's a pity that his body is still weak now, and he can't complete such a difficult movement. Later, when he saw Shaoxuan standing beside him, he calmed down a little and suppressed his doubts.

Seeing Lao Qi waking up, the emperor had mixed feelings, and he was naturally very happy, but for the first time in his life, he didn't know how to talk to him, and he didn't know where to start.

"Go and call the imperial doctor." The emperor thought for a long time, but still couldn't speak, so he turned his head and told Tong Hai.

At this moment, he felt his sleeve being pulled, and when he looked down, he found that it was Lao Qi who stretched out his hand.

Probably this action was a bit special, which made him dazed all of a sudden, and the emperor actually remembered what happened 20 years ago.

Concubine De was gone at that time, and the second child was too young, because he missed his mother and concubine and was sick in bed, when he went to see the second child, the child also held his sleeve and acted like a spoiled child.

Yu Zhaoyi was only a teenage girl at that time, and she had to take care of the second prince when she entered the palace, so it was difficult to be very considerate at first.

Fortunately, the second child has a gentle personality, and Yu Zhaoyi is gentle and considerate, and they got along very well soon, and the second prince never had such an illness again.

Twenty years have passed in a flash, and what he once thought and firmly believed in has all changed...

Or it should be said that these people and things were never what he thought they were.
