"At that time, I saw the third grandpa pointing to the family tree, and I heard them talk about an event that happened more than [-] years ago... They said that there was a person in our clan who left the clan after leaving the clan for more than ten years. In [-], I was in my early thirties when I was pregnant with my child and wanted to come back. But he has been away for too long, and his face has changed a lot. Many people in the clan don’t even know that there is such a person, and the clansmen who remember his name are also a little strange. Make sure it's him."

Having said this in one breath, Qi Jiang had no choice but to stop for a while, took a breath and continued: "And unfortunately, he doesn't have the imprint of our Qi people on the back of his neck, so it's even more uncertain about his identity." , if you can't confirm your identity, you can't enter the Qi Clan's land..."

Seeing that Qi Jiang was speaking so fast that he was almost out of breath, Qi Wu walked over to the table in a daze, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Speak slowly, no one is urging you."

Qi Jiang paused, took the teacup a little embarrassedly, drank a few sips slowly, calmed down, and spoke more slowly when he spoke again.

"Although that person was pregnant with a child at the time, and everyone knew that the men of the Qi clan were fertile, but... I heard from the third grandpa and the others that there were people outside of the Qi clan who were born with both male and female qualities." People with this kind of physical traits, although there are much fewer people like that than our Qi people, they are possible after all, so if you can’t prove your identity as Qi people, you still can’t enter our clan land.”

Speaking of this, Qi Jiang frowned lightly and thought about it for a while, before continuing: "It seems that it was because...that person buried things outside his place before, although more than ten years have passed, the people in the clan land There are some changes in the structure, but it's basically the same... In short, after verifying all aspects, it is confirmed that the person is indeed a member of our Qi clan."

"A few months after returning to the clan's land, the man gave birth to a child with the imprint of the Qi clan. Some clansmen who were worried about hidden dangers were completely at ease. It's a pity that the man was not in good health when he returned to the clan's land. The child died of illness less than a year later."

Qi Jiang shook his head regretfully, pursed his lower lip, and continued: "After all, that uncle has been dead for more than 20 years. When he passed away, almost none of our generation was born, and... I heard that the old man What you mean is that the uncle has not experienced a decent experience in the ten years since he left the clan, so apart from the old people, not many people in the clan know about him now."

Qi Wu nodded, glanced at the teacup in Qi Jiang's hand, and refilled half of it for him.

Qi Jiang pursed her lips in embarrassment and smiled: "I... I seem to have talked too much nonsense, and I haven't talked about the imprint yet..."

"It's okay, just talk slowly." Qi Wu didn't worry about this, since Qi Jiang was talking about related things anyway.

Qi Jiang smiled apologetically again, and continued to say softly: "Why did the imprint on the back of the neck disappear in that uncle's Hui family more than ten years later... At that time, the third grandfather and the others were a little cryptic, I only remember that it was because he ate I was allergic to something, I had a very serious rash on my body, and I had a severe fever, the rash on my body disappeared after I recovered, and the mark of our Qi clan on the back of my neck is gone..."

As if he was afraid that Qi Wu would try to eat something indiscriminately, Qi Jiang hurriedly said: "Although that uncle made the imprint disappear because of this reason more than 20 years ago, it is not necessarily due to allergies. There are also people in our clan I have been allergic to food, and the imprint has not changed."

"And if you have severe allergies, you will be... dead, you... I just remembered this, and I think you should want to know, because you were very serious when you asked me about the imprint, but you... don't mess around Ah." Qi Jiang whispered.

Qi Wu nodded thoughtfully, and his tone was still clear: "Well, I won't mess around."

In fact, in Qi Wu's impression, he has never been in contact with anything that would cause allergies, and he has never touched anything.

It is simply that even if he is not afraid of death and wants to try, he has no direction to start at all, not to mention that he is very life-threatening, and has no idea what it feels like to try allergies at all... The purpose of getting rid of the unique imprint of the Qi people is for a better life. If you put the cart before the horse if you put your life at risk in order to get rid of the mark.

But no matter what, Qi Jiang remembered this matter and came to tell him specially that Qi Wu still appreciates the favor.

"Thank you for telling me this." Qi Wu said, looking at the person in front of him.

Qi Jiang smiled: "You're welcome..."

Qi Wu's attitude towards him has always been lukewarm, or a little refusal, but it's rare to be as gentle as he is now, and Qi Jiang is a little happy.

"Then I... I'm done talking, I'll go back to my room first, I won't bother you anymore... You go to bed early, dry your hair..." Qi Jiang muttered softly.

After seeing off Qi Jiang, Qi Wu sat by the window, while slowly wiping his wet hair with his hands, he thought about the information that Qi Jiang just said.

Qi Clan had an example of imprint disappearing before, but Qi Wu didn't know such a thing, otherwise he would definitely choose to find out more relevant details when he was still in the clan land.

But now that he has left, Qi Wu is not too upset.In fact, Qi Jiang is a very careful person, and what Qi Jiang knows is probably very detailed. Qi Wu feels that even if he stays in the Qi Clan, he may not be able to get more information, and maybe he will let him know. The patriarch and the others were on guard.

After all, the patriarch and the others are not as talkative as Qi Jiang, and they don't talk much.

The action of wiping the wet hair with his hands slowed down unconsciously, Qi Wu looked at the dark night outside the window, and slightly bent his lips.

Qi Jiang's character is soft, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, even if there is no doubt right now, but on the way to the capital of the Great Zhou... Qi Wu felt that sooner or later, Qi Jiang would realize that he wanted to run away .

However, Qi Wu was not worried about being noticed by Qi Jiang.

No matter what, he must run away, and it is absolutely impossible to enter the palace according to the original plot.

……

Thousands of miles away, there is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a deep palace with nine bends.

The Fengluan Hall where the empress of the main palace lived was brightly lit, and the maids walked lightly but hurriedly, carrying hot water and medicine jars to and from the palace gates, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, whether it was nervousness or exhaustion.

The commotion in Fengluan Hall didn't stop until it was near.

A group of imperial physicians who consciously survived the catastrophe knelt in front of the emperor, and the head of the old imperial physician was full of joy: "The emperor blesses you, and the empress is blessed with great blessings. Although the empress's relapse is fierce this time, fortunately, she has passed it safely. Since then I also hope that it is better for the empress to recuperate, and she must not work as hard as she did a few days ago..."

Swinging away a group of imperial physicians and palace maids, Shang Wenjing lifted a few curtains to come to the medicine bath pool, and leaned over to embrace the Empress Song Wanqing who was still soaking in the pool.

"Wanqing, Liu Lu went to pick up the Qi people from Wendu, and he should have returned today. You must listen to the doctor's advice, and don't worry too much... Tonight, your stubborn illness suddenly broke out, which made me extremely anxious."

Song Wanqing's face was pale, and she smiled softly when she heard the words: "It's my concubine's poor health, which always makes the emperor worry... The emperor will go to court early tomorrow, go and have a rest, don't let the concubine be a drag..."

"What is Wanqing talking about?" Shang Wenjin caressed the Queen's cheek, with sincere friendship in his eyes, "At most three months, the Qi clansman has recuperated his body on the road, and after entering the palace, he can serve Wan Work hard to cure your illness, you will get better, I said that I want to see the world with you, don't let me live up to your promise."

Song Wanqing's pale face couldn't hide her embarrassment, and then she frowned slightly: "But... is the blood of the Qi people really useful? Don't waste all the painstaking efforts of the emperor and make the two innocent people of the Qi people suffer. This concubine has not recovered from this illness... I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany the emperor, and I will not be able to watch the children grow up and get married..."

As she spoke, Song Wanqing couldn't help but shed tears.

The Ninth Five-Year Lord, the always strict Emperor Jin suddenly became gentle and careless, anxious to appease his first wife and wife.

After Song Wanqing came out of the medicated bath and finally fell asleep, Shang Wenjin left Fengluan Hall with gentle steps.

After returning to the emperor's own bedroom, Shang Wenjing's eyes filled with sorrow and affection were all gone.

With a cold expression on his face, he said, "What's going on with Liu Lu?"

The one who answered was a Taoist priest with a fly whisk in one hand. The Taoist priest bowed slightly and said: "The journey is long. Those two men from the Qi clan have lived in remote villages all year round, and their bodies are too weak to travel. It will take another three to two months."

Shang Wenjin sneered coldly, but his tone was regrettable: "You should be cautious when dealing with the medicine introduced by the empress. If you are in a hurry to return, you may lose more than the gain. That's all. I believe that the empress is determined and will be able to wait until the medicine is introduced into the palace." .”

At the same time, in Fengluan Hall, the empress Song Wanqing who thought she had fallen asleep slowly opened her eyes.

There are only a few candles with dim candle shadows left in the luxurious hall. After all, the queen sleeps lightly, and the hall is too bright to be conducive to the queen's rest.

Song Wanqing lifted the brocade quilt and got off the bed in the dim light, and walked straight to the window.

The huge window was only opened with a small gap. Song Wanqing sat in front of the window for a quarter of an hour, when suddenly a thin strip of letter paper passed through the gap and was handed to Song Wanqing's eyes.

Song Wanqing covered her lips and coughed three times, then pulled out the letter paper and carefully read it under the faint light in the hall.

Then she got up and walked to the nearest candle, lit the letter paper in her hand, and then discarded it in a flowerpot beside her. Watching the letter paper turn into ashes, Song Wanqing returned to the window after the small fire light was completely extinguished.

"Tell father, I can live for at least one month, and Shang Wenjing will not allow me to live any longer... The medicine that I prepared earlier can be sent in."

Song Wanqing's breathless voice fell a little bit, and two birdsongs rang out from the window.
