233 I’m married (please ask for pink tickets for more updates)
(Second update, please ask for pink votes. //78 high-speed update.//())
All he could think of was his cheek covered in blood, and it was as if Xiao Qi's heartless and scoundrel voice was ringing in his ears.
"Want me to help you."
"If I kill you with one knife, you will suffer less."
"Oh, this little girl is quite calm, tsk tsk, she's really pretty, but I don't know if she got in through her real skills, or... Qing Yi's eyes slowly blurred, and she shook her head, as if she wanted to remember those past memories. Get them all out of your mind.
Xiao Qi has forgotten these things. All he has left is his persistence in the past. Since he has forgotten them, he should put them away completely.
Taking herself as an example, before she could remember the events of her previous life, she only had some hazy dreams.
She will be confused because of those dreams, and she will be curious about similar people in the dreams. 233 I am married (please ask for pink tickets for more updates), and she will also want to get close to her, but what really breaks into her heart is Xiao Hua's love for her in this life. What she did, at least before she fully remembered her past life.
If Xiao Qi meets a girl he likes, his previous obsession will fade away.
He stepped forward and held his hand, "Dan Xin, you are the Crown Prince of Jiang Kingdom. Emperor Jiang is very old. You will soon rule the world and have a harem of three thousand. If I go back with you, I can only be a corner of your harem."
"No." Xiao Qi held her hand behind her back, "I will marry only one person."
Qing Yi smiled. Xiao Shiqi's return to the Jiang Kingdom was still short. He had to rely on various relationships to consolidate his position. Marrying a wife and taking in a concubine was one of the important methods. On the surface, he was getting a concubine, but in fact, he was sleeping with a concubine. It is the woman’s natal family, and what she gets is the support of the heroine’s power, “Don’t be stupid. Can’t you still see through these days in the royal family?”
Since Xiao Shiqi returned to the Jiang Kingdom, the old emperor was eager for him to adapt to the court as soon as possible and had already instilled in him all the commonly used methods. How could he not know this.
But he refused to be manipulated by the royal family. He pointed at Xiao Hua, who was standing aside looking at flowers, "What about him? Isn't he the king of a country now?"
Qing Yi looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Qi, with a gentle smile in her eyes. "He, the king of a country, is only temporary." Although Ye had tricked him and left this stall to him, he was a fox. When Ye's prestige in the court was restored, he would naturally have a way to plot his return. She believed that no one in the world could scheme against him.
Xiao Qi will be the king of a country and deal with the affairs of the neighboring country. How could you not inquire?
Naturally, he also knew about King Nanyang, and he did not deal with Xiao Hua for a day or two. He knew that although Xiao Hua had a thousand ideas, he was indeed like a wandering cloud and a wild crane, with no intention of sitting in the sky. ()
Therefore, he had no choice but to believe Qing Yi's words.
"I don't have to be an emperor."
Qing Yi smiled slightly. "He still has an older brother who can plot against him, but Emperor Jiang only has one grandson, you. Who can you plot against?"
Xiao Qi was silent. He really didn't care about the world, but how could he not protect his family?
If he completely ignores it, he is really an unfaithful and unfilial person. It's okay for him to be alone, but he still has a family, how can he abandon his family and ignore it?
"Even if I were the emperor, I would always be kind to you."
Qing Yi smiled. "The harem is the most difficult drama to act in. If you want to protect your imperial power, how can you marry me alone? If you take in concubines. If you ignore them, how can they not feel resentment? They have resentment. , Let’s not talk about how they will not complain to their parents’ family, but they will also fight against me. I have no power and only have a pair of boxers, but these boxers can’t fight with soft knives. When the time comes, will you care about me or the world?”
Xiao Qi was startled, then shook his head and said: "He can do it, and so can I."
Qing Yi shook his head, Xiao Hua was different from him.
Xiao Hua has another identity - Marquis of Pingyang. As Marquis of Pingyang, he has many military exploits and is as powerful as Lao Teng in the court. However, Xiao Qi grew up in the Snake Kingdom and has too little foundation in the Jiang Dynasty. I am already married to him."
Xiao Qi's face turned pale. She had already married Xiao Hua. The implication was that she was already Xiao Hua's. He had nothing to fight for. He stared at her for a long time in pain, then slowly backed away, five steps away from her. Far away, he turned around resolutely, paused, and said: "I will keep waiting. If he doesn't wait well for you, just send me a message and I will come to pick you up."
Qing Yi responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll note it down."
Xiao Qi closed his eyes, swallowed up all the pain and frustration in his heart, and strode away without stopping.
Qing Yi's eyes were slightly astringent, but when she turned around, she saw Xiao Hua lowering his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
He took a breath to calm down his ups and downs and walked towards Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua waited for her to approach, then raised his head, looked at her deeply for a while, and then said, "I will accompany you to see the Duke."
Qing Yi's heart suddenly tightened. She had been looking forward to seeing her father with her own eyes, but now that she heard that she could see her father, her heart became gloomy. She didn't know what to say when she saw her father.
"Let's go." Xiao Hua lowered his hand, shook her hand, and led her forward silently.
After leaving the imperial garden and getting into the carriage, he looked as normal as usual, with a calm expression on his face, but he just held her hand tightly and never let go.
He didn't let go of her hand until he reached the prison, took the hexagonal food box handed over by Mu Ze, stuffed it into her hand, and said softly: "Go."
Qing Yi saw that he had no intention of entering the prison together, "Aren't you coming too?"
Xiao Hua's eyes were deep, "No."
Qing Yi smiled, wasn't he afraid that his father would point her fingers at her and do something detrimental to him?
He turned around and followed the cell leader into the prison.
The change of dynasties was always the busiest time in the prison, so those who opposed the new master and refused to surrender were naturally 'invited' here.
Curses, cries, and mutterings to oneself can be heard all the time. Being here is even more chaotic than being in a busy city.
There are too many people, and the smell is extremely unpleasant.
Although Qing Yi wears simple clothes, she is the queen of a country after all, and she was sent by the emperor himself.
The cell leader secretly glanced at Qing Yi with some worry, really afraid that the stench would offend her.
But seeing that she looked calm and didn't frown because of the unpleasant smell, she felt relieved and led Qing Yi to walk a few steps quickly, hoping that she could get out of the place with the most prisoners as soon as possible and the smell would be lighter.
The Duke of Chu was locked in the innermost part of the prison. Even though the prison was overcrowded, the three cells next to the Duke of Chu were still empty.
The cell was fairly clean, with bedding piled on the floor covered with withered grass. Although it was not the brocade cotton silk quilt that rich families were accustomed to, this was a rare treat in a prison.
The Duke of Chu was only wearing his middle coat and looked haggard, as if he had aged more than ten years. He was sitting on the floor with disheveled hair. He had his eyes closed and it was unclear whether he was awake or sleeping. The food placed beside him remained motionless.
Qing Yi felt sad, and ignored the prison guard who was leading the way. He rushed forward, held on to the wooden railing, and stared at the old man sitting quietly inside.
His lips trembled several times before he managed to make a sound and whispered, "Dad."
The prison boss hurriedly stepped forward to unlock the door.
When the Duke of Chu heard the noise, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were slightly dull, and they had lost their former glory. In the dimness, he saw Qing Yi outside clearly, and his dull eyes brightened slightly.
The moment Qing Yi saw Duke Chu, she just wanted to throw herself in front of him. However, when the cell door opened, her steps became heavy. She carried the food box and walked step by step to her father, squatting down beside his legs. Reaching out to touch his sunken face.
The Duke of Chu looked at her steadily for a while, and his eyes finally became moist. He thought that the assassination failed, and the whole family would meet here and be sent to the guillotine together. But these days, no one asked him In a word, no one from the Shangguan family was seen.
He had made various conjectures in the past few days, maybe the Shangguan family had been executed on the spot.
In this era, many families were killed, some would be sent to the guillotine, and some would just close the door of the house, and the officers and soldiers would massacre in the house...
He didn't expect that the first person he saw was Qing Yi, and his clothes were neatly dressed. He definitely didn't come in as a prisoner.
The old eyes slowly showed surprise, "They didn't want to kill you?"
Qing Yi shook her head. She was in the Longevity Palace and seemed so calm that nothing happened. But she was not stupid enough to really think that nothing happened. She could guess how the minister in front of her impeached her. Then she heard her father ask, Still slightly startled, she should have thought that those courtiers wanted her to die.
Xiao Hua took a deep breath, it was really hard to hold on.
He shook his head lightly and said, "He has never abolished his queen."
Duke Chu was stunned for a moment. He knew that Xiao Hua had been interested in Qing Yi since he was a child, but as a man of power, the word "love" seemed too weak and he couldn't believe it.
After looking at Qing Yi for a long time, he suddenly realized something. He looked at the food box next to her and asked, "It's time, isn't it?"
The rules in prison are that before being executed, you can see your family and have your family bring you good meals.
Even if there is no family, the prison will prepare a meal of braised pork with enough portion, and pair it with wine, so that the death row inmate will not go hungry on the road.
Qing Yi was startled for a moment, a little dazed, and looked at the food box next to her. Did Xiao Hua really mean this?
Her absence fell into the eyes of Duke Chu, and she believed it even more. She sniffed and suddenly smiled, "Okay, okay, I have finally waited for this day."
He sent someone to assassinate him but failed and was captured immediately. He never thought about living anymore. However, he had been strong all his life and would never commit suicide, lest he be known as a coward who commits suicide in fear of crime. He refused to eat because he wanted to force Xiao Hua to come. Seeing him, he forced Xiao Hua to kill him, but Xiao Hua just let him starve and disappeared.
After waiting and waiting, his daughter, who thought she had been tired of him, came. I didn't know what it felt like for a while.
Qing Yi didn't know what Xiao Hua meant, but regardless of whether what Xiao Hua asked her to bring was her father's last meal, she didn't want her father to go on hunger strike again. She silently opened the food box, which contained light porridge and a cup. The good ginseng soup was not the big fish and meat that I imagined. I was shocked.
After being stunned, his eyes gradually became moist. He didn't want his father to die.
He sniffed, held back tears, filled a bowl of extremely sticky porridge, and handed it to his father, "Eat it."
The Duke of Chu stared blankly at the porridge and ginseng soup in the food box, and was also confused.
He really couldn't understand Xiao Hua... Yesterday, when the new medicine was administered, the drug reaction almost caused death, so today the injection was very slow, and it took more than six hours to complete the infusion. I hurriedly hurriedly, and finally in ten I rushed out before two o'clock, which is not considered a breach of trust! ! !
