I hope to return to the country

Le Zhiyu was stunned when he heard this.

Therefore, he clamored to go out to restore the country, and he retorted that his father could not stand his mother's strong and stubbornness, so he ran away from home. Chen stabbed in the wound...

He didn't even dare to imagine how heartbroken Mrs. Yang must have been at that time.

"mother."

Huge sadness and guilt swept over Le Zhiyu's eyes, and even his voice was a little choked up.

"I'm sorry······"

"Silly boy, it's not your fault."

Madam Yang lovingly touched his face, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

"I haven't told you for so long, because I want to protect you, I hope you will live a carefree and relaxed life forever, don't worry and resent over these old millet and rotten sesame seeds, but now I choose to say I came out because I want you to learn my lesson and stop repeating the same mistakes, coveting a momentary love and credulously trusting others, so that you will be hurt forever."

Le Zhiyu pursed his lips with red eyes, and after a while, he asked in a low voice.

"Is that person really dead?"

He didn't say who that person was, nor did he say why he asked about life and death, but Mrs. Yang understood it all at once.

The child felt sorry for her, and he didn't want to call out the word "father" again, and wanted to find out this ruthless and heartless person and seek justice for her.

"He's not dead."

After being silent for a while, Mrs. Yang still decided to tell the truth.

"Not only is he living a good life, but he is also flourishing in the new dynasty. The saying that evil will be rewarded with evil is really just deceiving yourself and others sometimes."

Le Zhiyu's fists were clenched suddenly.

"Who is he?!"

"You don't have to know."

Mrs. Yang patted his hand for comfort, her face was very calm, even with a hint of relief.

"Anyway, God finally opened his eyes. The time for his retribution is finally coming. Immediately, he will fall from a high place to the dust and lose everything, including his life. Death is like a lamp going out. Why should we care about him?"

Le Zhiyu was puzzled, and just about to ask, Mrs. Yang obviously didn't want this matter to affect his mood, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Don't mention these unlucky things, let's talk about happy events. I plan to hold a family banquet tomorrow night. Everyone will be lively together. It's a celebration of your engagement to the prince."

engagement?

I thought Mrs. Yang's words just now were still trying to dispel Le Zhiyu and Qin Zhiyi's idea of ​​being together, but she didn't expect her attitude to turn around, and she was about to nod her head in favor of their marriage!

The sudden surprise made Le Zhiyu's eyes light up instantly, and he couldn't care about anything else, so excited he rushed to hug Mrs. Yang.

"Thank you, mother, for making it happen!"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang didn't take advantage of the situation to hug him back and have a happy ending in which the mother and son settled their suspicions. Instead, she pressed his shoulders like last time and calmly pushed him away.

"I haven't finished yet. After you get married, you will have to separate for a short period of time. After His Royal Highness fulfills my last condition, I can truly hand you over to him for marriage."

"There are still conditions?"

Le Zhiyu was startled, and couldn't help calling out Qu for Qin Zhiyi.

"Mother, don't embarrass brother Qin, he has passed your test, you believe me, he is really a good man, and he is sincere to me!"

Mrs. Yang did not sneer this time, but nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I can see that he is a good boy. After all, he knows that the jade seal is fake, but he is willing to enter the formation, go down to Longyuan, and risk his life to find you. If he doesn't really like you , it is absolutely impossible to do this.”

"That's right! Now that you know it, why do you want to..."

Le Zhiyu half-spoken, suddenly widened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Is the jade seal fake?"

"good."

Mrs. Yang said: "If there is really a jade seal handed down to the state, and there are some great treasures in it, why does that person have to go to great lengths to defraud my family's wealth, and he doesn't have to bear the humiliation to please those dignitaries, he has done all the nasty things. "

She glanced at Le Zhiyu who couldn't believe it, sighed and shook her head.

"At the beginning, it was because you were so focused on your dream of being an emperor that you were about to go crazy, so I asked someone to use ancient jade from a hundred years ago to imitate the patterned words on an isolated ancient book to make a false one, and deliberately lured you to steal it. , I originally wanted to coax you and let you play house tricks to satisfy you, so as to save you from thinking about running away again and again. went out of the valley."

Le Zhiyu was tongue-tied, and it took him a long time to stammer: "Since it is false and true, how did Brother Qin find out?"

"I asked him that just now."

Madam Yang raised her eyebrows, thinking of Qin Zhiyi's answer, her eyes became more approving.

"He said that although the jade and the decorations are all ancient objects, the imitation is very real, but the carving technology is not from a hundred years ago, but only in recent years. Obviously this jade seal is not genuine, and he happened to have dabbled in this aspect, so I recognized it the first time I saw it."

The more Le Zhiyu listened, the hotter his face became.

What a shame.

He presented a counterfeit to Qin Zhiyi as a token of love as if offering a treasure. Who knew that Qin Zhi was also knowledgeable and had already seen through the real thing at a glance, but he didn't expose him, and even treasured the counterfeit like a treasure. How can this make him feel at ease?

"and many more."

As if thinking of something, Le Zhiyu hurriedly asked again: "The jade seal is fake, and the treasure of the Great Chu is also fake, so why are there rumors outside that they are besieging Brother Qin one after another for something that doesn't exist? , want to kill people and seize treasures?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Mrs. Yang sneered and said: "Someone is deliberately leading the wind, trying to use this rumor to kill the prince. Even if he can't kill him, he can break his wings and hold him back so that he can't go back easily. If the capital slowly erodes and disintegrates the power of the Eastern Palace, as time goes by, he will never be able to stand up again."

Brother Qin looks calm, but has his situation reached such a critical point?

Le Zhiyu's heart tightened all of a sudden.

"That is to say, the people who want to harm him are pressing every step of the way. He can't spend any more time outside, otherwise he will become more and more passive."

"Yes."

Madam Yang held his hand tightly and looked at him seriously.

"Missing a tiny bit will make a huge difference. The prince must immediately seize power and ascend the throne in order to keep everything he owns, including you who wants to marry him. If you only want to talk about love and hang around him, it will delay your life." His big event will also make his enemies find that you are his weakness, and they will try to kidnap you to blackmail him. You can't help him with anything else, at least you can temporarily stay in Wuyou Valley to avoid the limelight, let him He has no worries, what do you think?"

Le Zhiyu is reluctant to part with Qin Zhiyi for a moment, but he is also most afraid of becoming Qin Zhiyi's burden. If it is really him who implicates Qin Zhiyi in the end and loses everything and loses his life, then he will definitely not be able to survive. up.

Knowing the son is not like the mother, Mrs. Yang saw his expression and knew that he had been shaken, so she took the opportunity to tell him the final condition.

"If the crown prince succeeds in ascending the throne, he will promulgate an imperial decree to announce to the world, canonize you as the Queen of the Central Palace in a fair and fair way, and put on a full ceremonial guard to welcome you, and give you dignity, otherwise, he will never see you again."

Le Zhiyu opened his mouth in surprise, lowered his eyelashes, and whispered: "I don't care about decency..."

"You do not care?"

Madam Yang's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Don't you want to be like me and humiliate you by hitting you in the face when you are hired as a wife and concubine? I know you want to say that your Brother Qin is not that kind of person, but sometimes people are It will change, don't try to gamble with your sincerity, and I will never allow you to be reduced to a male eunuch in the future. If he really wants to grow old with you, he must exchange the queen's position. I will really believe his sincerity, why, do you have no confidence in him, and you think he will change, so you want to keep an eye on him?"

"I didn't! I believed him!"

Le Zhiyu wanted to argue anxiously, but felt that arguing with Mrs. Yang was very boring, so he swallowed his words back, his brows were slightly furrowed, his teeth were slightly closed, and he bit his soft lips There was a sign, and after a tangled meeting, he let go as if in compromise.

"As long as Brother Qin is willing to agree to your conditions, then I have no objection, so let's stay."

"That's good."

Madam Yang relaxed her expression, and stood up, a pleasant smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"He has promised."

In the flower hall next door, Ning Yuancheng walked around the half-person-high Ten Thousand Years Purple Manjing several times, finally stopped, and looked at Qin Zhiyi who was sitting above drinking tea with a complicated expression.

"I thought that Wannian Purple Manjing was a rare treasure. If Xiao Yu wanted to ask for it, his family would definitely not agree easily. It would take a lot of trouble, but I didn't realize it. I didn’t even ask any more questions, so I just gave it to me for free. I walked into this worry-free valley and looked all the way. There are rare things everywhere, and there are beautiful things everywhere. It can be seen that Xiaoyu’s family is really rich with gold and silver. Your Royal Highness, I heard that the treasury of the new dynasty is unable to make ends meet, and even the military salary and disaster relief money cannot be paid out. You must have known about Xiao Yu's family background, so you approached him on purpose, right?"

"General Ning has committed an old problem again?"

Qin Zhi also raised his eyes to look at him, and casually put the teacup on the table, with a cold tone in his tone.

"You yourself were unlucky, and you were deceived and poisoned. From then on, you became a shadow of a snake and fell into a demon. I sympathize with your experience, but that doesn't mean that I will always tolerate your nonsense, suspicion and instigation between me and him. If you think it's too easy to take Purple Manjing, you don't have to take it."

Ning Yuancheng's face darkened all of a sudden, as if he didn't want to hear Qin Zhiyi expose his previous scars, and he didn't want to see Qin Zhiyi threaten him with such a condescending attitude. The peaceful relationship that was barely maintained because of Le Zhiyu for a few days suddenly returned to its original shape.

"Brother Qin!"

As if it was a spring breeze blowing away the gloom, when Ning Yuancheng heard Le Zhiyu's voice, the gloom between his brows quickly subsided.

"Little Yu!"

He happily turned around to meet him, before he could say anything else, Le Zhiyu had already passed him, like a tired bird throwing itself into the forest, and jumped straight into Qin Zhiyi's arms.
