concubines

Qi Yunruo remembered that he was in Dong's residence just now, and Shui Yuanyuan noticed that his expression was wrong, and said sharply, "Didn't Qi Suxiao give you those things?"

Qi Yunruo stood up and said: "I'll go back first." His face was a little panicked, Shui Yuanyuan looked at him worriedly, and even began to regret that she had mentioned these things, but when she thought of the dead girl, she became ruthless again, Said: "The people in Uncle Ziyang's mansion are too deceitful. The girl never entered their door. Why should they take away the girl's property?! Isn't Qi Suxiao the favorite face? Far away, girl, I must show people the true face of this hypocrite!"

……

Beside the lights, Qi Yunruo began to lose his mind again. This room was empty for a few days, but it was cleaned every day, and there was not much dust. Li Chen put away his clothes by himself, and went out to ask someone to fetch water.

"My lord..." Qi Yunruo said.

"what happened?"

Qi Yunruo looked at Li Chen, and slowly said: "Maybe it's because I have always had nothing, so I really want something, not from others, but originally mine, I deserve it, they belong to I...do you understand?"

Li Chen sat opposite him, listening quietly.

But Qi Yunruo opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start the rest of the words. He felt a strong resentment in his heart. From the day he arrived at Ziyang uncle's mansion, what he learned was that he and his mother had brought shame to the Qi family. Bo was young and absurd, he spent a lot of money for Shui Linglong, and the Qi family suffered a lot of blame for this... Qi Yunruo never regarded himself as Qi Suxiao's child from a long time ago, he took himself completely as a guest staying in Ziyang Bo's mansion , but after all, there is no one to rely on, and I can only watch them send me to the Chun Palace... But why on earth can the Ziyang Mansion treat me like this?

"My lord, when I was very young, I lived with my mother in a small courtyard. At that time, I didn't know that I was a concubine. I just wondered why my father always came home after a long time..." Qi Yunruo said lightly "At that time, every time Ziyang Bo came, I felt solemn and happy like a festival. He also lifted me up and laughed, and brought me novelty gadgets on the street. He sat behind me when I was writing. Teach me to hold a pen."

There was some nostalgia on Qi Yunruo's face, but it disappeared quickly.

"All of them are saying that our mother and son owe Uncle Ziyang's mansion, but what is wrong with us? Even if someone did something wrong, it was Uncle Ziyang himself. It broke the family rules of the Qi family. Those things are mine, things left by my mother, and they have no reason to withhold them." Qi Yunruo looked at Li Chen as if seeking approval, "Isn't it? My lord, I can take my things Come back, they have to give it to me."

Li Chen understood what was going on, and leaned over to hug him in his arms comfortingly.

Qi Yunruo stubbornly raised his head and asked, "Is it? My lord, I can ask for it back."

Li Chen looked at Qi Yunruo, feeling complicated for a moment. Some things were not as simple as they said. Xiao Qi wanted to ask Ziyang uncle's mansion to get his mother's belongings, but Ziyang uncle's mansion might not be willing to find out what happened nine years ago, and they If he wanted to give it to him long ago, how could he change his mind because of Xiao Qi's few words, not to mention his own identity is still an in-law of the Ziyang uncle's mansion, and he and the Ziyang uncle's mansion are both prosperous and ruined, but when Li Chen saw Xiao Qi's eyes , a little panicked and fragile, but extremely persistent... Li Chen nodded, "When we go back, I'll accompany you to ask for it, okay?"

Qi Yunruo nodded, a few drops of water fell from the corners of his eyes, and his voice was dull as if it had hit Li Chen's heart.

After the first tragic victory, the Qiang people did not move for many days, but everyone knew that the Qiang people were just brewing a bigger conspiracy. Nubiha and Botuk suffered a big loss, and they would always find a way to get it back. For a while, while Li Chen was training soldiers, he was investigating the situation inside and outside the pass. Qi Yunruo followed Shui Yuanyuan to do what he could in the military medical office. Help cook and serve medicine.

Later, Master Liu saw that Qi Yunruo and Qu Qing were quite familiar, and asked him to check the number with the people from the military medical office when they went to the Qu's medical clinic to get medicine. If there was something to do, Qi Yunruo felt that life passed faster.It's just that as the Yushu Pass became more and more quiet, the people in the pass once again fell into a tense atmosphere.

Li Chen couldn't come back very late at night, Qi Yunruo waited and lay on the bed a little sleepy, and woke up after a nap, he found that Li Chen was still not there, and the lights in the general's tent were still on.They came to the border for 20 days, and there was only one battle to defend the border. This victory made some people a little overconfident. Every day, Zhao Wei heard that someone wanted to send troops out of the border to find the enemy.

But neither Zhao Weidu nor Li Chen was fully prepared and did not want to rush to war.Zhao Wei hated the spies in the pass, and Li Chen also felt that after the pass was cleared, they would not have any worries.

It was almost three o'clock when Li Chen went back, Qi Yunruo saw that his expression was not good, and asked with some concern: "My lord, what happened? Or is your wound hurting again?"

Li Chen hesitated for a moment, and said: "When we were in Heluo County at first, it was time to return the paperwork we handed over to Beijing, but in recent days, there has been no news from the capital."

Qi Yunruo said: "Maybe things are not in a hurry, there is no need to hurry up in Beijing."

There was deep worry in Li Chen's eyes, and he asked, "What did you do today?"

Qi Yunruo smiled and said: "I went to the Qu Family Medical Center, and the head of the bodyguard Qu accompanied me. I don't know about medicinal materials, I just measure the data. Master Liu said that he will report the merits of the Qu family to the imperial court in the future, and ask the imperial court to reward him."

Li Chen smiled, "That old fox from the Qu family."

Qi Yunruo asked curiously, "Do you know the grandfather of Chief Guard Qu?"

Li Chen said: "It's not acquaintance, but that old guy never does business at a loss." After talking for a while, the gloom in Li Chen's heart was diluted a lot, and he smiled: "It's so late, don't talk, Come up and rest, I'm still busy tomorrow."

"it is good."

No need to go to the Qu Family Medical Center on the second day. Li Chen received a letter from the palace. After reading it, his heart became a little gloomy. After that, he practiced with the soldiers and worked harder than before. If Qi Yun didn't wait for him to come back at noon After eating, I took a few glances at the school grounds before walking back.

Qu Family Medical Center.Qi Yunruo finished writing the last stroke casually, when he looked up, he felt that the doctor in the hospital who was looking at him quickly lowered his head.

What's wrong?Qi Yunruo frowned, put away the account books, turned around and ran into a doctor's clerk, who was startled, he took a look at Qi Yunruo, and hurried away.

Leaving the medical hall, he found that there were many more people walking around outside than usual. Although some people's eyes were very dark, they were indeed peeking at him. Some people's eyes directly contained contempt and disgust, and they were very impolite. She gave him a blank look and strode away.

Qi Yunruo panicked for a moment, but soon he calmed down. Today he came out with the people from the military medical office. Qu Qing stayed in the camp. Qi Yunruo got into the carriage and went back. As soon as he entered the camp, he hurried back to his residence. No, I don't know where.

In the afternoon, Qi Yunruo realized that bad rumors about him and Li Chen spread all over the pass.

Qi Yunruo was trembling with anger in the room. It was obvious that the prince was injured in order to defend Yushu Pass, but within a day, people in the pass began to say that the prince is actually a man with no morals, and he brought his male pet out to fight. It was not his credit for winning the crown prince's position in the first match, but the victory of General Si De and General Shangguan Ling, who was forced onto him by the prince.Some people also said that the prince robbed the army food by force, which caused disasters to three counties and towns, and spent his way without restraint.

If Qi Yun doesn't believe that no one is in charge, he just doesn't know who is so vicious?Li Chen is not there, Qi Yunruo can't figure out many things, he doesn't want to go out - those rumors came from outside, not many people in the military camp Zhongyuan know him, but now almost everyone knows it, if Qi Yunruo is not afraid of those people eyes, but afraid of making the prince bear more blame because of himself.

This time Li Chen came back very late, Qi Yunruo stood up anxiously when he saw him.

Li Chen took off his coat and threw it aside, and asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Qi Yunruo looked at him, there was no difference in Li Chen's expression, Qi Yunruo said: "My lord, I heard a lot of bad things about you."

"Yeah." Li Chen sat down and said, "I'm a little tired today, Xiao Qi asked someone to boil some hot water for me to relieve my fatigue."

Qi Yunruo went out step by step, turned his head three times, and ran back quickly after giving his orders, staring at Li Chen without blinking.

Li Chen laughed, told him to do well, and said, "Don't worry."

Qi Yunruo frowned and said, "Do you think it might be those Qiang people who sent spies in the pass? They can't beat you, so they want to discredit you... Could it be that they want the imperial court to call you back, and they won't be afraid when you are no longer here?" I dare to attack Yushu Pass again."

Li Chen was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is this what you thought of?"

Qi Yunruo nodded.

Li Chen sighed softly, and said: "Maybe it's just like what you said, maybe there are other things, but these are not important after all, and the imperial court will not call me back on the spot because of these baseless words. What statements have not been implemented?"

Qi Yunruo nodded, worry not hiding in his eyes.

The spies of the Xinyuan Kingdom spread rumors. In addition to what Qi Yunruo said, there is also a more direct reason. The arrival of King Chun has greatly encouraged the soldiers of Yushuguan. If the Qiang people want to attack again, they must find ways Destroying the morale of Yushuguan, if King Chun has no prestige at all, even if he plays in person again, it will be of no use.

The letter Li Chen received was from Li Xiuqi, a counselor of the Prince Chun's Palace. There were also such rumors in Beijing. From the time point of view, it was earlier than Yushuguan, and it seemed that he died after the first victory in Yushuguan. There were rumors that Li Chen never forgot his beauty when he led the troops, he played with male favorites all the way, and he never avoided military affairs.These words were somewhat restrained after Li Chen's first victory, and after a long time after Yushuguan did not send troops, these words were spread again, and the officials were moved after hearing the wind. I don't know which one to start, and the criticisms against Li Chen would be like snowflakes. up.

So now, there are already two issues in front of Li Chen, one, not to send troops; two, to take the male pet to the war.After Li Chen received the letter, he had practiced for several days in a row. Every time he returned late at night, Qi Yunruo looked at his tired face and felt sad. If only he could do something for the lord, tell him not to be so tired.

The capital, Prince Chun's Mansion.

Qi Niqun's second pregnancy was not good, she vomited every day, and couldn't eat. Qi Yunshan brought her bad news. After hearing this, Qi Niqun's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth: "Bitch! If the prince is affected by this, wait When he comes back, I want him to die."

Qi Yunshan said: "The brochures jointly signed by several adults have already been handed in. I don't know how the emperor will react."

Qi Niqun said anxiously: "Brother, go back and tell your father, let him also take the paper, and blame Qi Yunruo! Don't let the emperor have a bad opinion of the prince."

Qi Yunshan was silent for a while, and said: "Mother also means the same thing, but father hesitates."

"What's there to hesitate about? It's hard to understand that father wants to watch that little bitch drag the prince into trouble?"

Qi Yunshan said: "Let's see what the emperor thinks tomorrow, no matter what, I don't think the emperor will call the prince back, maybe when the prince wins the battle, the emperor will write off those things."

Qi Niqun calmed down her anger, and asked, "Brother, do you know who is going to make trouble with Prince Chun's Mansion?"

Qi Yunshan said: "People from Yuan's family, and some I found out, vaguely pointed to King Jing, the county magistrate of Heluo County in Suzhou, and Shang Zhezi said that Heluo had no food for a long time, but King Chun used the other two counties to force him , and so on. I found out that a few years ago, this county magistrate He was the one who was intervened by King Jing."

Qi Niqun thought, the prince is indeed the most likely to be crowned prince, King Jing and King Qing must have a conspiracy, she frowned and said: "I will enter the palace tomorrow to meet the empress, the prince is the empress's own son, the empress must have idea."

Qi Yunshan nodded.
