"His Majesty……"
Qing Hui was stunned.
She never thought that the things that Lian Xueyin regretted were actually related to Qi Wan.
Lian Xueyin was telling her that if he hadn't left a quarter of an hour earlier, he would have saved Qi Wan.
She really couldn't believe it.
She couldn't believe that if Lian Xueyin hadn't left early at that time, if Lian Xueyin had been there, Lian Xueyin would have saved her without her asking for help.
But... why?
Just now Lian Xueyin made it clear that he never had anyone he liked.
Seeming to see her confusion, Lian Xueyin explained to her: "I was seriously injured many years ago, thanks to Qi Wan's care. However, I had something on my mind at that time, so I didn't thank you."
"I didn't want to get involved with anyone, so I didn't take the initiative to make a commitment."
"So later, when I learned that she was forced to die in Yunguangtai, I regretted it very much."
"Some causes and effects, I always think that they would not happen if I were not contaminated, but once the cause and effect is formed, it will always be repaid."
When he said this, Qing Hui understood.
I can't help but feel a little bit of regret.
If she had known that His Majesty was so focused on cause and effect and a person who knew how to repay a favor, she would have had to repay the favor!
Better to die than live.
But it's not surprising that Qi Wan didn't expect that Lian Xueyin had such a strong aura that he always gave people an inhumane and cold feeling.
When Lian Xueyin was seriously injured and recuperating in Qiyue Guan, it was his master who saved him, not Qi Wan. Qi Wan only helped with the medicine for a few days, which was not considered care. During the years when she was studying in Qiyue Guan, she did not know how to provide How many people have survived the medicine? If taking the medicine can be considered a favor, wouldn't it mean that everyone who has ever been sick owes the grace of the doctor and the medicine boy?
Qi Wan felt that she was not that brave.
How dare you really find Lian Xueyin?
What a strange combination of circumstances.
"Then will Your Majesty take revenge for her?" Qing Hui asked.
"Won't."
Lian Xueyin replied very simply.
Qing Hui was not disappointed with the expected answer, just a little bit disappointed.
"Hate is such a thing. It takes time for outsiders to intervene. If the time is not right, it will lose its meaning." Lian Xueyin didn't want to disappoint her, but he couldn't tell her that he was a little late and failed to save Qi Wan, but he never felt sorry for Qi Wan. Wan took revenge because he knew Qi Wan would come back.
Qi Wan is a mortal, but her heart is not mortal.
But he couldn't see the origin of that heart and didn't dare to intervene rashly to avoid uncontrollable changes.
Now that Qi Mingyue has been selected as a storage device, one day, this device will lead to the real person behind the scenes.
He didn't have much time, so he could only help her look after the device for the time being.
Wait for her to come and get what belongs to her in person.
If the timing is bad, Qing Hui doesn't understand what it means.
But one thing is true, if you don't do it yourself, you can't understand hatred at all.
When she was forced into desperation, she didn't think much about it. Now she knows very well that there are others behind Qi Mingyue, and her heart that was taken away may hide secrets that she doesn't know.
So instead of directly killing Qi Mingyue to get that heart back now, she had to find out the person behind the scenes first.
Qing Hui was still very happy. After all, she knew that when she was forced to a dead end, she always thought that she had been completely abandoned by the whole world, and no one wanted her to live.
No one can save her.
It turns out there is.
Someone she had never thought about and thought was impossible.
It turns out he will save her.
Qing Hui's mood suddenly improved, and he was still concerned about Lian Xueyin's government affairs: "Your Majesty, if you follow me to Chongzhou, it will probably take a month to go back and forth. The government affairs between the DPRK and China will not be delayed, right?"
Chongzhou is to the south of Xiliang, almost to the border.
Yujing City is a little further north in the middle of Xiliang. It takes about ten days to go to Chongzhou. If you stay for a few days, it will take at least a month to go back and forth.
"I have asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange a car to tour the south of Lingzhou. There are officials left behind to take charge of the government affairs in the DPRK. There will be no delay." Lian Xueyin replied.
"Southern tour?"
"Yes, there is a severe drought in Lingzhou. The situation is very serious. After I finish my business in Chongzhou, I can take you to meet the driver of the southern patrol."
Hearing this, Qing Hui couldn't help but feel guilty, "Your Majesty, how about you go and do business first?"
Lian Xueyin rarely smiled: "If only one person could do things in the court, Xiliang would have ceased to exist long ago."
Qing Hua: "..."
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty have any favorite candidates for inspection in Lingzhou?"
Qing Hua asked tentatively.
"How about I select two imperial envoys for disaster relief and let Prince Ning go there with me? Do you have anyone you would like to recommend?" Lian Xueyin asked.
King Ning, Lian Jinning.
He is Lian Jinchen's cousin.
Qing Hui also had some impressions of him. He was said to be very gentle, down-to-earth and conscientious, and he had been working in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The disaster relief matter involved money, so it was reasonable for him to take care of it.
Qing Hui was actually a little curious. Lian Xue had sealed more than a dozen princes as candidates for his successor, but he never seemed to show any particular importance to any one of them.
These dozen princes are now holding important positions in various places. Not to mention that they are all very outstanding, but at least four or five of them are considered to be among the best and are qualified to inherit the throne.
The reason why Lian Jinchen stood out the most was because Lian Jinchen once fought in Suzhou and defeated more with less. He fought a very beautiful battle and defeated Beixuan's powerful troops.
Therefore, both the people in the court and Xiliang had a great favorable impression of him.
It is said that he has the prodigy of Lian Xue Yin, but not the cruelty of Lian Xue Yin.
Yes, brutal.
Lian Xueyin ascended the throne at the age of six and theoretically could not conquer the throne himself.
But the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, the royal family, and even the harem, who he killed abruptly when he was six years old, did not dare to have the slightest objection to his ascending to the throne and taking charge.
There are more than a dozen brothers above him, the eldest of whom is more than 20 years older than him, and they dare not say "no" in front of him.
The four dynasties of Si Ling Continent used to fight all year round, and they refused to submit to anyone. Especially Xiliang, which was originally the weakest and smallest among the four kingdoms. They had to cede land for compensation every year, and the people suffered terribly. However, after Lian Xueyin came to power, It first took him a few years to stabilize the civil strife and develop production, and then in just three years, he defeated the three surrounding countries to the point where no one dared to challenge him.
When he was fifteen years old, in the name of cruelty, he forced the four countries, which were originally fighting in a melee, to settle down.
Because Lian Xueyin really killed every prisoner of war until no one was left alive.
And he never failed.
In order to prevent all the soldiers sent out from being killed by him, the melee in Si Ling Continent has been peaceful since then, and no one dares to touch Lian Xue Yin's bad luck again.
It was only because Lian Xueyin hadn't shown up much in the past few years that someone was ready to take action.
Even her father, who had controlled the affairs of the Eastern Qin Dynasty for many years, said that if Lian Xueyin did not expand while he was alive, then the Four Spirit Continents would not be able to unify even if he did not die.
This is how Lian Xueyin's reputation as a tyrant came to be.
That's why after actually getting in touch with him, Qing Hui felt that Lian Xueyin, the tyrant, was completely different from the one in the legend.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let King Chen go with you? There must be a lot of refugees due to the disaster in Lingzhou, and trouble will inevitably occur. King Chen is the one in charge of the army. It should be more convenient for him to go to the town." Qing Hui suggested cautiously. road.
She heard that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.
Her suggestion was somewhat guilt-ridden.
But she had just finished instigating Lian Jinchen and Qi Mingyue, and it finally worked. If Qi Mingyue did something else while she was away from Beijing, she would be unhappy.
She just wanted to see how long this "loving couple" could last.
Lian Xueyin glanced at her thoughtfully.
Qing Hui blinked at him to please him and reached out to shake his sleeves.
a little nervous.
"What my beloved concubine said makes sense. I'll ask someone to make arrangements." Lian Xueyin said.
Before Qing Hui said anything about continuing to please him, he just agreed? ?
what to do?
What should I do if Your Majesty is too good to her?
Could it be that His Majesty didn't like Qi Wan? He fell in love with her?
Otherwise, even if you really want to treat her as a wife, you won't be so talkative, right? ?
Qing Hui was shocked by his ridiculous idea for a moment.
But she had tested enough today, and she didn't dare to test anymore.
Otherwise, it would be bad if Lian Xueyin could see anything.
It is impossible for everyone to know now that she is the Qi Wan of the past.
…
Early the next morning, Qing Hui followed Lian Xueyin and got into a carriage that looked ordinary on the outside but was very comfortable inside.
Lian Xueyin took off the mask on his face and replaced it with an ordinary face.
He wiped out everyone just by looking at it, leaving no memory at all.
It's just that the aura on his body is still very terrifying. It is estimated that no one will dare to approach him if he stands there.
After their carriage left Yujing City, the southern patrol convoy prepared by the Ministry of Rites also left Yujing City in a mighty manner the next day.
Qi Mingyue, who had been in a daze for two days, finally woke up completely.
However, as soon as he woke up, he heard the news that Lian Jinchen had left Beijing.
"What did you say?" Qi Mingyue glared at the maid who replied, "Say it again! Where did Prince Chen go?!"
"Your Highness, His Highness Prince Chen left the capital with the southern patrol team. He left the city early in the morning." The maid knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly.
"Southern Tour? Besides King Chen, who else is there? Is Your Majesty going? Where is the noble concubine?" Qi Mingyue propped up his body and grabbed the maid's collar.
"Slave, I don't know..." The maid was trembling with fear. She didn't know why Miss Seven, who had always been friendly, became more and more scary.
These maids were all newly transferred by the second young master when he sent the seventh young lady to Prince Chen's Mansion. They didn't have much contact with the seventh young lady in the past. They only knew that the seventh young lady had been in poor health all year round.
"Go, call the housekeeper over." Qi Mingyue pushed the maid.
The maid was pushed to the ground and hurriedly got up and went out.
Qi Mingyue called someone over to dress her, and the housekeeper from the palace also arrived.
"What are your orders, madam?" the steward asked.
"Madam?" Qi Mingyue looked at the housekeeper.
The butler replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "His Royal Highness has left Beijing on official business and has not helped Madam to appoint a concubine for the time being. Please forgive me."
According to the specifications of the royal palace, there is one main concubine and two side concubines.
The remaining concubines with status can only be called ladies, while the concubines without status can only be called girls.
The housekeeper now respects her by calling her madam.
Qi Mingyue was trembling with anger, but she couldn't get angry. She could only grit her teeth and ask, "Is Your Majesty going to the Southern Patrol? Where is the imperial concubine? Where are you going?"
"Well..." The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Of course His Majesty took the imperial concubine with him on a tour to the south. I don't know where he went. I only heard from His Highness that it might be related to the drought in Lingzhou. Therefore, His Majesty specially ordered our Highness and His Highness Prince Ning to go together."
Qi Mingyue's breathing was a little rapid.
really.
Sure enough, it has something to do with the green cypress!
Maybe it’s His Majesty she’s instigating again!
Otherwise, His Majesty has never left Beijing in the past few years, why would he suddenly go on a tour to the south?
Also, why did you have to drag Brother Chen along during the Southern Tour!
She did it on purpose!
That woman, that crazy woman! What on earth does she want to do!
damn it!
Lingzhou, there is only Songzhou between Lingzhou and Chongzhou.
What if that crazy woman suddenly decides to go to Chongzhou?
Will she find out about the Chen family?
what to do?
No, she can't sit still and wait for death. In the past few years, she has stabilized the capital, so no one has checked Chongzhou yet. I wonder if the people she sent to clean up the traces of the Chen family were cleared up.
Why are these people so annoying!
She has already dealt with the Chen family and the Ji family, so why does a Qing Hua who looks like Qi Wan appear?
Qi Wan is dead!
Why is she still so bothered when she's already dead?
No, absolutely no one can know about the Chen family, absolutely not.
Brother Chen has gradually stopped trusting her. If he knew about the Chen family, would he abandon her like he abandoned Qi Wan?
No, absolutely not!
Qi Mingyue calmed down and said to the butler: "Your Highness is going to provide disaster relief. I am really worried about the dangers. I want to go to Fanyun Temple to pray for Your Highness and wish His Highness a smooth trip. Please help me make arrangements." "
The housekeeper saw that she just went to the Buddhist temple to pray, so he didn't say anything and asked someone to make arrangements.
Just after noon, Qi Mingyue arrived at Fanyun Temple.
Among the temples around Yujing, apart from Huguo Temple, Fanyun Temple is the most popular.
Because of His Majesty's reasons, Huguo Temple is only open to the public on special days every year, so the favorite place for dignitaries in Beijing is Fanyun Temple.
Qi Mingyue is also a frequent visitor to Fanyun Temple.
After praying in the main hall, the monk took her to the backyard.
She asked the maid to wait outside the courtyard, and followed Monk Mi who led the way into the wing of the courtyard.
A monk with a handsome brow was sitting cross-legged on the couch, knocking on wooden fish.
He looks very young, his skin is paler than ordinary people, and he has a red mole between his eyebrows. He is dressed in plain white monk robes and looks compassionate and solemn.
When the door was closed and only Qi Mingyue and the monk were left in the room, Qi Mingyue couldn't wait to ask,
"Why? Why did King Chen slowly get out of my control? People around me began to be a lot more indifferent to me? Why didn't my heart gu stop working? Didn't you say that as long as I keep my heart gu, King Chen will Will you always be devoted to me and only love me?"
"Why has he changed!"
