Si Yemingli hung the rope on the beam and stretched his neck in.
She took one last look at the house where she grew up and closed her eyes.
No one can explain clearly what it feels like to die, because you only live once and no one has the chance to tell.
But since ancient times, everyone has been afraid of death, and it is not a pleasant feeling to think about it.
The painful feeling accompanied the body falling into boundless darkness. It was like a bottomless pit that kept sinking and sinking.
until……………………
"Miss, miss!!"
"The lady is awake, madam! The lady is awake!!"
Mei'er's chirping shouts came to his ears, and Si Yemingli opened his eyes.
The dark fear still hadn't completely dissipated. Si Yemingli gasped for breath, feeling glad that he was not really dead and did not see what the fear was under the boundless darkness.
Because she was worried about her daughter, Li Mo had been sitting aside. As soon as she fell asleep, Meier made a noise.
"My silly child, why are you so stupid!" Li Mo hugged Si Ye Mingli distressedly and cried.
With nowhere to vent their grievances, the couple hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Okay! Okay! Just wake up. We won't get married. No one will tell us. I won't get married. I'll go tell your father. Do you have to force us, mother and daughter, to death?"
"Mother!!"
Si Yemingli was overjoyed that things finally turned around.
Si Yeqi was in great pain when he found out that his daughter had committed suicide by hanging. Everything had reached a point of no return.
Generally, wealthy families do not have secret rooms, but they always have something to say that is shameful or cannot be told outside. Therefore, many people like to open another door in the inner room and build a small house inside, with only one door and no other exits. The window is not blocked, so it is called the inner door.
All important things will be said in the inner door. If you don't enter the inner door, there will be no secrets.
It was the first time that Si Yeqi's family of three appeared in the inner gate at the same time.
The inner door covered by a curtain was a bit old and dusty, and it was obvious that no one had set foot in it for many years.
Si Yeqi held his daughter's hand and said, "My child, why are you so stupid! Why do you have to be like this!"
There were still tears in Si Ye Mingli's eyes: "Father, how could you bear to marry your daughter to that adulterer? You...don't you love Li'er anymore? Don't you love Li'er?"
Si Yeqi is not good at words and has not had much communication with his daughter over the years. However, he has loved her daughter very much since she was a child. She has never beaten or scolded her and she has always obeyed whatever she asked. He never expected that her daughter would be so stubborn and would rather die than get married. .
"Hey!" After stopping for a moment and looking at the mother and daughter who were looking at him eagerly, Si Yeqi said slowly: "I don't think so, it's just...just..."
"It's just that, if there is any difficulty, we will shoulder it together. If there is anything we can't say to each other as a family!" Li Mo said.
"Okay! In that case, I'll tell you!" Si Yeqi said helplessly.
"Have you all heard about some of the major events that have happened in the dynasty recently?"
"Yeah!" Although Si Yemingli stayed at home, he had heard of these important events.
"Next is Long Yu and I. If we don't form an alliance at this time, I'm afraid..."
"What...what!" Si Yemingli couldn't believe it.
"Chu Wen, the former head of the Ministry of Punishment, died. His two sons and more than 120 clan members in his family were all killed. Only one son and one daughter escaped. Left Prime Minister Yucheng and Right Prime Minister Liang Chen also died. The clansmen only escaped by going to the border. As you know, Qi Ping'a was killed before, and King Qicheng died in the rebellion. The next one is Long Yu. If Long Yu dies, I won't have any power to fight back! "
The mother and daughter were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their blood was tense.
"Father, the Emperor is not...not...is...always...!" Si Yemingli was just a weak woman after all. It was difficult to understand for a while, and her words were stammered and incomplete.
"Hey, the current situation is just because my father trusted the wrong person at the beginning. I didn't expect that things would have changed after thirty years!"
"How could the Emperor be like this? Aren't Long Yu and the Emperor sworn brothers?"
"So what? There are too many things going on in the court. I have known too many of his secrets over the years. Do you think I would be so cruel? Make this decision for no reason?"
"Husband, is there any misunderstanding?" Li Mo still didn't believe it.
"The man in black killed Qi Ping that day, and I went to see him too!"
"how?"
"The man in black cleaned up the scene without leaving any evidence, but he ignored one thing!"
"You mean...the smell?" Li Mo understood somewhat.
"That's right, everyone has their own unique smell. Ordinary people can't tell the difference, but beneficial insects can!" After saying that, a small insect with wings crawled out from Si Yeqi's sleeve and shook it as if he was taking credit. His body lay on Si Yeqi's hand.
Si Yeqi has always had the ability to control all kinds of beasts, and the mother and daughter have known about it for a long time.
"That day, the emperor found a new personal guard and removed the other guards. It was the man named Lu Yu!"
Mother and daughter are terrified of the coming truth.
"A great master, a young man who can be promoted to a fourth-level official just after meeting him! Humph!"
"Then when I met Lu Yu for the first time, Yi Chong told me that he was the man in black who killed Qi Ping'a!"
Si Yemingli was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning. Naturally, his father's words were not false, but the truth was too shocking.
"But...but why did the emperor kill Qi Ping? Or even Long Yu? Isn't this just cutting off his own arm? Isn't the current prosperity of the dynasty entirely dependent on them?" Si Yemingli is familiar with history books and knows the history of the dynasty. Founding, this sentence gets to the point
"This is what I was puzzled about before. If I could have determined it earlier, I wouldn't be as passive as I am now!"
"Why??"
"The emperor is old, and he wants to clear the way for the prince to succeed to the throne!"
"Lord Long Yu would not be like this..."
Si Yeqi interrupted his daughter: "I think so too. The question is whether it can be one thing or whether it can be another thing!"
Si Yeqi couldn't help but think of the lobbyist of the Dragon Mansion, a frail scholar with a paper fan, and a literary examiner who was famous for his beautiful wife.
It was this scholar who told Si Yeqi that emperors don't need heroes!
"Excellent achievements!!" Four words lingered in Si Yeming's heart. How many ministers died because of these four words in history. Unexpectedly...!
"The world inside and outside Wushuang City is completely different now. In less than a year, everything has been turned upside down. I am no longer the extremely humane prince above the court!"
“Husband, then………………!”
"Now I can't even open my mouth when I go to court every day. All the ministers can only obey the orders of King Civil and Military! The previous laws are invalid!"
Li Mo had already guessed that Si Yeqi was in some difficulties, but he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.
"Of course, it was Long Mansion's lobbyist who reminded me, otherwise I would not have made such a stupid decision without thinking. Since Li'er doesn't want to get married, let's let this matter go. How will we face it together as a family in the future!"
"Father………………!"
"If I didn't care about the lives of so many people in our family, how could I have wronged you! My child!"
Si Yeqi looked at his daughter who was losing weight day and night and said distressedly.
"Why don't you... let's go?" Li Mo said in a panic, having lost all control.
"Let's go? Humph! What do the millions of soldiers stationed outside Wushuang City do now? What do the 100,000 forbidden troops who patrol the city every day do? As long as we make a move, I'm afraid we will be the first to suffer!"
The situation has reached this point, and Li Mo is at a loss for what to think.
It seemed as if a hundred years had passed and a lifetime had passed, Si Yemingli made a decision that would affect her life.
"I will marry! If I can exchange for the safety of our clan and the well-being of my father and mother, I will marry into the Dragon Mansion!"
Si Yeqi couldn't bear to look at it. He knew how difficult it was for his daughter to make this decision after experiencing life and death.
Not even afraid of death, but for...
Si Yeqi lowered his head in shame. For the first time in many years, King Feng felt that he was incompetent and sacrificed his daughter's happiness in exchange for the safety of his family.
"A person from the Long Mansion once said that Long Yun and Li'er would not have an affair. All they had to do was hide the truth from others. After success, not only would Li'er be free, but our family would also be promised a hundred years of longevity!" Si Yeqi hesitated. I said.
Si Ye Mingli, who was ranked seventh among the beauties in the world, married the most famous prostitute in the dynasty and still retained her virginity. This was probably a joke. Si Ye Qi didn't believe it, and Si Ye Mingli didn't believe it even more, but what mattered more was that The family is safe.
"It doesn't matter, since I'm married to that lewd thief, I don't expect him to abide by the rules!" Si Yemingli said through gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry for you, kid!" Li Mo said worriedly.
"By the way, Father, has Long Mansion taken any action on the current situation? How can we guarantee their promise!"
"Of course you won't just listen to a scholar's words for such an important matter. I have already asked Long Yu. Although he was helpless, he promised me that as long as we wait for these days, there will be no worries!"
"That's good, my daughter still believes in Master Long Yu!"
Both father and daughter believe that Long Yu is their only way out, because over the years, Long Yu has never broken trust in anyone, whether in the world or in the dynasty.
Although Si Yeqi can control hundreds of beasts, his martial arts is not very high. He is only at the level of a small master so far, and he has not yet been able to control his energy and blood. Unlike Long Yu, he can come and go as he says, and no one can stop him. This is what he is most worried about. A personal guard can easily kill him. Once he dies, the entire family may not be able to exist. Therefore, he has been very careful when entering and exiting recently. The palace is full of beneficial insects in front and back. As long as there are strangers, The taste immediately sends a signal, especially the smell of Lu Yu.
"Filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, righteousness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame! These eight virtues must be kept in mind. In the future, you must act according to them and never do things that harm nature and justice!"
"yes!"
"Okay, that's it for today. You go down and rest!" A gray-haired old man finished the day's class. His body was a little overwhelmed, but he still persisted until the end of get out of class. This spirit is worthy of admiration.
"Only by being determined can we stick to it for our generation!" Qi Zheng said silently in his heart.
One day's articles are numerous and complicated, and most students can only remember part of them, and the rest need to be reviewed after class to keep up with the next day's course.
Some smart people can clearly remember the entire content of a day, and their grades will naturally be better.
What's more, you can draw your own insights and conclusions from what you learn every day, and become a famous expert in the future.
And Qi Zheng is the kind of student who can become a famous scholar.
Unfortunately………………
Otherwise, in the future, from all over the world, there may be a place among the four extraordinary literati.
Comparable to the number one.
