When Qi Zizhen heard Ning Qingwei's question, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he wanted to avoid this topic.

Ning Qingwei, who was paying attention to his expression, immediately sensed that something was wrong, walked up to him with a frown and asked, "In the first life, you asked me to go to the next city with His Highness, and that was to lure us away on purpose, right?"

Qi Zizhen subconsciously took a step back when he came over, and his momentum was directly weakened by half.Aware of the guilty conscience represented by his actions, it was too late for him to take a step back.

Facing Ning Qingwei's rarely severe expression, he finally sighed and told Ning Qingwei what happened in the first life.

In November of the Y year of Shunhe in the first life, Qi Zizhen went to the Ling Guesthouse to "encounter" Yu Feiang, and when he was leaving, he happened to see Song Ping, Lu Yuanbai and a woman walking into the tea room on the third floor.

He and Song Yaoxu have been confronting Song Ping in the court for two years, and they have some news that is not good for Song Ping, but it is not enough to bring him down.

Qi Zizhen guessed from the woman's weird service that she should be a foreigner, so he carefully hid at the door of the tea room to eavesdrop with the idea of ​​seeing if he could give Song Ping another chance to cooperate with the enemy.

Then he heard Song Ping and the woman talk about looking for the son of luck, and at the same time he heard him mention the eldest grandson Wushun.

Changsun Wushun was the Southwest General who had already been defeated by Tang Leyuan two years ago, but he escaped fast enough after the defeat and finally saved his life.

Qi Zizhen instinctively felt that there must be some bigger conspiracy and trick in it, and in the next period of time, he would go to the Ling Guest House to pay attention to their movements, and would quietly eavesdrop on them every time they came.

During the period of eavesdropping, he also gradually figured out what Song Ping wanted to do——

He wanted to use Wumeng Kingdom's forbidden technique of stealing fate to steal the life of Ling Chao's lucky son and help him seek power and usurp the throne.However, Sun Wushun, the southwestern general of Wumeng, did not succeed in stealing his life because he did not use enough people to steal his life. He was only one step away from success.

So Song Ping made a deal with Changsun Wushun in private, and Changsun Wushun sent someone to help him find Ling Chao's son of luck and complete the forbidden technique of stealing his life.On the other hand, when he ascended the throne as the queen, he gave Changsun Wushun military support so that he could make a violent comeback.

Among them, Lu Yuanbai was responsible for looking through the materials and assisting the witch sent by the grandson Wushun to find the child of luck.

Qi Zizhen knew that he should inform Song Yaoxu about this matter, but he was worried that the identity of the so-called son of luck would eventually point to Song Yaoxu who was the highest authority, so he continued to eavesdrop alone for the time being.

Later, he heard the witch say that the son of luck was between him and Song Yaoxu.

At that moment, Qi Zizhen inexplicably felt a sense of fear that almost suffocated him, and immediately wanted to leave, but inadvertently made a noise, and was chased out by three people and caught him.

He and Song Ping were deadly enemies in the court, and an explanation would definitely not explain it, so he simply wanted to have a direct confrontation with them.

In the end, he didn't expect that the witch still had medicinal powder on her body, and he fell to the ground and fell asleep after a handful of white powder came off.

When he woke up again, he was in the chess room where he and Yu Feiang often met. Yu Feiang said that he accidentally found him lying pale at the door of the tea room, so he temporarily brought him to the chess room.

When Qi Zizhen got up and wanted to thank him, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and then he couldn't help coughing violently, and even coughed up blood.

He has been in very bad health since an accident at the age of five, but after nearly ten years of unremitting recuperation by Song Yaoxu and Ning Qingwei, he has recovered a lot in recent years, and in a few years he can even be with ordinary people No difference.

The last time he coughed up blood was five or six years ago.

Qi Zizhen guessed that the witch must have done something to him, otherwise he would not be able to lie here, instead of some gloomy little dark room.

He met Yu Feiang's worried gaze, quietly clenched the blood on his palm, and said that he had committed an old problem that often happened in winter.

Yu Feiang didn't think much, and sent him back to the National Master Tower with concern, and happened to meet Song Yaoxu and Xu Xiaoqi who had just gone to the capital to find a circle of people and came back.

Qi Zizhen dismissed them with the same excuse, and immediately found his stone harp and hammer after returning to the room on the top floor.

After being surprised by Ning Qingwei once before, he knew that his use of the Shiqin would cause visions.It was inevitable that the vision would arouse the covetousness of the unruly people, and he also learned to control it, and never caused the vision again in the subsequent sacrifices.

According to that witch, as long as he can trigger the vision again, he is the child of luck.If he can't...the forbidden technique to steal his life will fall on Song Yaoxu.

For a full 19 years, he watched Song Yaoxu go from being arrogant and domineering to learning to calm down and bide his time, to going out on the battlefield together, and now ascending the throne as king.

Song Yaoxu is only one step away from the real king's landing in the world. He must not let Song Yaoxu have an accident at this time.

That night, Qi Zizhen made up his mind to protect Song Yaoxu to the end.

So from the first day, he found some rouge and gouache to cover up his complexion, and went in and out of the places where court officials frequented every day, wooing the right side, suppressing the enemy, and striving to give Song Yaoxu more power.

He also tried to tell Ning Qingwei about this matter, but found that whenever he wanted to say it, his heart would ache sharply.After several attempts, Ning Qingwei thought that he had a physical problem again, and seemed to be looking for Song Yaoxu.

In desperation, he had no choice but to find a reason to prevaricate, and stopped trying to tell others about it.

In addition, he wrote to Song Xingqiu again, asking him to help check the evidence of their contacts on the grounds that he suspected that Song Ping had contacts with Changsun Wushun.

He also learned a lot about Wumeng Kingdom's forbidden art by the way, and asked Tang Leyuan and Qin Gong on the sidelines, and accidentally learned that the forbidden art belonged to Qin Gong's tribe.Qi Zizhen asked Qin Gong for more details on the grounds that she wanted to include the history books of the National Master Pagoda, and Qin Gong lent Qi Zizhen all the ancient books she brought to the capital.

From the ancient books, Qi Zizhen roughly figured out the rules for the activation of the forbidden technique, and at the same time, he inadvertently noticed that the most important items around the son of luck often contain a lot of luck, and stealing it together can get twice the result with half the effort.

He immediately went back to find his stone harp and hammer, and intuitively felt that the most important item should be his hammer.

Song Ping must not be allowed to get his piano hammer.

Qi Zizhen carefully hid the piano hammer, and in the next few days, he walked around the capital every day as before. His body gradually became weaker than before, and he could hardly even rely on rouge and water powder to cover up.

And Song Yaoxu also noticed something wrong with him during the first lunar month, but didn't think much about it, thinking that he was as weak in winter as before, but when he was about to go out again, he took him to the palace to stay peacefully.

It was also this time that he received a letter from Song Xingqiu, and learned that Song Xingqiu had confirmed that Song Ping had contacts with Changsun Wushun, and it was suspected to be related to forbidden techniques.

When he was thinking about how to dispel Song Xingqiu's doubts about forbidden techniques, Cui Liang rushed to report that Qi Yuan, who was imprisoned for treason last year, had disappeared.

Qi Zizhen knew that it was Song Ping who was about to act.

He quickly made up a reason, pretending to be in a hurry to find Song Yaoxu in the palace that night, saying that there was an eyeliner arranged by him to report that Qi Yuan fled to the next door after being rescued, and then used the reason of maintaining the imperial prestige , coaxing Song Yaoxu and Ning Qingwei to go to the next city to arrest people himself, while he stayed in the court hall just in case.

Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen have been together for 19 years. Although he always felt that there was something wrong, he still chose to trust Qi Zizhen. On the first day, he and Ning Qingwei set off to the next city to arrest him personally.

Qi Zizhen also announced that a sacrificial ceremony would be held at the same time as they left.

He planned to reveal a vision during the sacrificial ceremony, so that Song Ping would target him with the forbidden technique.

But for some reason, Qi Zizhen has always been able to trigger visions of good luck in the past, but this time the originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dense dark clouds, followed by lightning and thunder, torrential rain, and even a bolt of lightning struck straight at him. A thousand-year-old tree behind the National Teacher Tower.

This is an extremely ominous omen in the Ling Dynasty.

Song Ping also led the imperial guards to come here at this time, and escorted him to the prison for playing an unknown sound.

Only then did Qi Zizhen realize that he had once again fallen into Song Ping's scheme.

It was probably because the witch poisoned him that time in Lingkelou that the vision of him playing music was so abnormal.But Song Ping had been waiting for the day when he played.

Unwillingly, he was caught and thrown into prison by Song Ping. With the last of his strength, he hid the piano hammer in his arms, and then passed out completely in the prison.

When he woke up again, he had been transferred to another small and dark room, the room was filled with a strong stench, and not far from him was Qi Yuan's body after his tragic death.

Qi Zizhen was about to vomit, and when he wanted to move further away, he realized that he was restrained in a small place at the door, and in front of him was a huge formation painted with blood.

This is the formation of the stealing life grid forbidden technique, and the blood used is exactly the blood of Qi Yuan who was sacrificed.

Qi Zizhen closed his eyes and tried to ignore his current situation, but the pungent stench tightly entangled and restrained him.

According to the procedure of the forbidden technique, he will be locked up here until he starves to death. The only thing he can feel lucky about now is that his body is already weak, and he probably won't have to wait too long to die.

He was thinking bitterly, and suddenly noticed a sound coming from the door, and then a small window sash on the door was pushed open, and a glare of light came in.

——The person who came was Qi Zishan who was saved by them before.

Qi Zishan had accompanied Tang Leyuan on Y expeditions to Southwest Town before, and he was able to kill a few enemy troops at a young age, which was highly valued by Tang Leyuan.

Later, when Qi Yuan's incident happened, they used Qi Zishan's meritorious military service as an excuse to keep him, and let him move to the National Teacher Tower to live with Xu Xiaoqi.

Qi Zishan had vaguely sensed something was wrong from the relationship between Song Ping and Qi Yuan before, and today he paid close attention to the situation after Qi Zizhen was imprisoned, and found that he had been transferred, so he carefully looked for him all the way.

He learned about his current situation from Qi Zizhen, and since then he said he would find a way to save him and brought him food every day.

Although Qi Zizhen wanted to die even more in such an environment, but every time the child sneaked over, he couldn't bear to say that he had to endure Qi Zishan's kindness and live on.

Three days later, when Song Yaoxu and Ning Qingwei returned to the capital, Qi Zishan brought Song Shi and Xu Xiaoqi over and successfully rescued him from the small dark room.

However, the formation in the small black room took effect from the day he finished drawing it. He was locked in it and tortured mentally for three days. Part of his fate had been stolen from him, and his body took a turn for the worse. He was unconscious all day .

And then one day when he was in a coma, he suddenly dreamed of a world of ice and snow while he was in a coma, and there was a voice in his mind bewitching him to commit suicide.

Suffering from mental torture, Qi Zizhen couldn't resist the bewitching voice, and opened his eyes for the first time after being rescued.

It happened that Song Yaoxu was not there at this time, so he picked up his saber and left the palace through the secret passage, walked all the way to the ice surface in the center of Chengming Lake in a daze, drew his sword and killed himself.

The moment he committed suicide, he heard the sound of the ice cracking under his feet, and then the endless biting cold engulfed all consciousness.

He finally went to death.

The memories of his life were displayed in front of him little by little like a scroll, and then slowly dissipated and faded away with his consciousness.

He fell into endless darkness, feeling his body getting smaller and gradually curled up into a ball.

Then, with a cry, a healthy newborn was born in an ordinary obstetrics and gynecology hospital in the eleventh century.

His parents named him "Zizhen", hoping that he would grow up to be a person with high moral character and lofty aspirations.
