While Imperial Master Chongnan set off from Kyoto to the border at night, Qin Zeng was already making preparations to go to sea.
And Li Qingyi spent the whole day thinking about how to dig out favorable news from Lin's mouth.
After Lin was frozen all night that day, she seemed to have truly realized the fact that she had become a prisoner. She no longer yelled and cursed arrogantly. She had been silent for several days and would not say a word to anyone.
Chang Lan followed Li Qingyi and stood outside the tent, looked at Lin through the gap, and whispered: "The secret of the Ya clan is Lin's life-saving talisman. If she says everything, it will be worthless, so she will definitely not Speak easily."
Li Qingyi was silent for a moment and walked into the tent.

After some cleaning, the court passed quietly for several years. Everyone in the capital was in danger, even fearing that speaking loudly would lead to the confiscation of their homes and death.
As for Prime Minister Xu and Wei Shicheng, who had one foot in the cabinet, no news had come back since they entered the palace.
People in the Wei family were panicked.
Night quietly enveloped He Yantang.
Dusk poured into the house through the closed flower windows, and even the candles couldn't block it, making the whole house look very dim.
Mrs. Wei stood silently in the shadows, her face gloomy, and she had not made a sound for an unknown amount of time.
"Currently, this is all I can find out. The palace only says that the emperor is unwell and suffers from headaches from time to time. Mr. Xu and our eldest son are valued by the emperor and are accompanying the emperor..."
Mrs. Wei gritted her teeth. Even if she valued him, she would not lock him in the palace for more than a month without allowing him to return home.
Nothing from the house can be sent in.
No matter how much money is stuffed, the word that comes back is still that everything in the palace is the best and most complete, so there is no need to worry about it.
"What did the palace say? They still didn't say when they could leave the palace?"
"I didn't say..."
The person who replied bowed and stood inside the door, his voice was very soft, but in such a silent environment, he couldn't even hide the sound of his breathing.
Mrs. Wei swayed slightly, leaning on the flower stand beside her, "She hasn't come back yet?"
The servant knew that she was asking the eldest lady, Princess Yuanheng, and shook her head cautiously.
The anger in Mrs. Wei's heart became more and more intense.
Not long after Wei Shicheng entered the palace, Princess Yuanheng went to Sanqing Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to recuperate on the pretext of feeling unwell, and did not care about the affairs of the palace at all.
Mrs. Wei was still secretly happy at first. Now that the Zhongzhi was handed over from her, it would not be so easy to take it back. Unexpectedly, Princess Yuanheng never came back, as if she had taken root in Sanqing Temple.
It wasn't until troubles occurred one after another in various palaces in the capital, and her son failed to return after entering the palace, that Mrs. Wei gradually realized that something was wrong.
Is it possible that Princess Yuanheng wants to draw a clear line with the Wei family?
Mrs. Wei looked at the bleak winter scenery outside the window and took a deep breath, "Go and ask Brother Yao to come over."
"Yes, madam."
The waiting time seemed to be extra long.
I don't know how long it took before a voice came from outside the door, "Grandma, your grandson is here."
Her voice was extremely tired, which made Mrs. Wei even more worried.
"Brother Yao, come in."
As the eldest son of Wei Shicheng, Wei Yao was naturally Mrs. Wei's most beloved grandson. From childhood to adulthood, Wei Yao was always the object of praise from others.
In addition, the reason why Mrs. Wei loves him so much is because he is eighty-nine times similar to his father Wei Shicheng, almost carved from the same mold.
Mrs. Wei believed that Wei Yao would be successful in the future and was particularly concerned about him.
Wei Yao entered the room, and even in the dim light, he could see the strong cyan color under his eyes.
Mrs. Wei asked worriedly: "Did you sleep well?"
Wei Yao didn't want to answer these insignificant questions, so he just asked: "Grandma, is there any news about father?"
Although Wei Yao did not face any difficulties in the academy, he clearly felt that his classmates were avoiding him.
Mrs. Wei sighed, shook her head and said, "There is still no news at all."
Wei Yao frowned, "Then grandma came to see her grandson for something else?"
Mrs. Wei looked at him with an expression that was almost identical to that of her eldest son, and said, "Has your mother ever had anyone send you a message after going to Sanqing Temple for so long?"
Wei Yao shook his head: "No."
Mrs. Wei snorted deeply, "She is such a good mother, leaving her son in the house and ignoring him!"
Wei Yao didn't know why she suddenly complained about this.
He and his mother have never been as close as other mothers and children. From the time he was three years old, he rarely appeared in front of his mother.
At first, it was because Mrs. Wei deliberately manipulated Princess Yuanheng and prevented them from seeing each other. Later, it was because Wei Yao grew older and began to follow his father with his eyes, imitating his father in every move. He felt that his mother, Princess Yuanheng, was not related to her. He couldn't speak.
"If grandma wants to know her news, it's better to ask Jin'er. Jin'er will definitely know."
Speaking of Wei Jin'er, Mrs. Wei became even more angry.
Ever since Wei Jin'er got married and moved to the Wang family, she rarely came back, and she never came back even once after she became pregnant, as if the Wei family was some sort of dragon's pond and tiger's den. Wei Jin'er gave birth to twin girls during the New Year's Day. The Wang family held a banquet, and Mrs. Wei only saw them once.
Seeing her silence, Wei Yao couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you still remember the two words Master Zhizhen left when he came to our house?"
Wei Yao looked solemn and said, "Remember."
Master Zhizhen was invited to Heyan Hall at that time and left two words, one "Wo" and the other "Ghost".
Mrs. Wei was very confused and went to her eldest son Wei Shicheng to ask Master Zhizhen what he meant.
At that time, Wei Shicheng said that if the word "女" was removed from the word "WEI", then it would mean "grain" and "ghost". Grain ghost is ji, which is related to "Ji". Guihe is kui, which means "kui".
At the beginning, Wei Shicheng relied on the Queen Mother behind Princess Yuanheng to achieve success in the Wei Mansion.
Princess Yuanheng is a woman, and the combination of He Gui and a woman makes her "Wei".
And Gui He is connected with "Kui", and Kui is "head". In other words, if Wei Shicheng wants to go further, he has to remove the word "女" from the word "WEI".
At that time, Mrs. Wei asked Wei Shicheng that this "female" sometimes referred to Princess Yuanheng, but Wei Shicheng said that this was not necessarily the case.
Mrs. Wei knew that what he said might not be true, but that this woman might be Li Qingyi.
But Li Qingyi was too difficult to deal with, and Qin Zeng was guarding him. He tried many times but couldn't get rid of her. xь.
Now that something happened to the Wei family, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but think about it.
Wei Yao obviously knew about this, "My grandson remembers it."
Mrs. Wei's eyes suddenly became sharp. "Then do you think this woman refers to Li Qingyi, or... someone else?"
Wei Yao's expression changed, "Grandma means..."
