"Xiao Yu, you must be mentally prepared for what I am going to say next..." Looking at Yu Ruyi's face, Ning Zanghua was very embarrassed. She could continue to be the heartless second sister. But she couldn't pretend it never happened.
"Well, you tell me." Seeing Ning Zanghua's reaction, Xiao Yu also knew that she was going to hear bad news next, but one of her strengths was that she could adjust her emotions quickly.
"You know the origin of our Guanghan Palace, right?" In order to keep the sisters' moods from fluctuating as much as possible, Ning Zanghua deliberately crafted her words. The words that looked like nonsense were actually prepared for the content that followed. Make foreshadowing.
But Yu Ruyi Bingxue was smart, and she quickly realized what the problem was.
Although Li Xian'e, the first palace lord of Guanghan Palace, was not married to Emperor Wende of the Feng Dynasty, a daughter was born into the world, namely Li Guanghan, the second palace lord of Guanghan Palace. Although the position of the palace lord of Guanghan Palace was later passed down through the relationship between master and apprentice, the daughter of the Li family still has an absolutely unshakable weight in Guanghan Palace. In other words, as long as the bloodline of Li Xian'e is passed down , the foundation of Guanghan Palace will not fall, so this is why the Li family always insists on choosing a son-in-law.
However, it really goes back to the beginning of the establishment of Guanghan Palace. In addition to Li Xian'e's blood, the other half of Li Guanghan also comes from the royal orthodoxy of the Feng Dynasty. Although with the changes of times and dynasties, the The label of being a descendant of the royal family of the old dynasty has gradually been deliberately downplayed, but in the end it is still impossible to deny this fact.
Speaking of which, during the chaotic times when the Feng Dynasty collapsed, Guanghan Palace also became the focus for a time. The courtiers who are still interested in restoring the old country have also expressed their willingness to let the Li family change his surname back to Chai and support Wang Chengsi to rebuild Longting; while the attitudes of more forces towards Guanghan Palace have gone to two extremes, and Some people in the Feng Dynasty royal family who had old and new grudges burned their anger to the big bamboo forest of Taiyin Mountain, while others had ulterior motives and took advantage of the gang, which was mainly composed of women, to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, the then Lord of Guanghan Palace Li Heyue, on the other hand, resolutely led his disciples to migrate.
But in this troubled world, no sect can escape calmly. Even the three religions and the Beggar Clan have to compromise and cooperate with various warlords, let alone a women's division like Guanghan Palace. Fortunately, the later Emperor Taizu of the Sheng Kingdom showed his benevolent side to Guanghan Palace and extended a helping hand to end their wandering life.
But this acceptance is conditional. The emperor can allow Jianghu sects to play a unique role under his rule, but it is difficult for him to let down his guard against a family that is inextricably linked to the previous dynasty. Therefore, his relationship with Li Heyue The conversation was quite direct: "Give me a reason to let the Li family go."
In order to preserve the sect and family, and to show that she had no so-called determination to restore the country, Li Heyue and his brother made sacrifices one after another. The brother exchanged his life for the emperor's peace of mind, while Li Heyue entrusted the position of palace master to His own apprentice has entered into a political marriage to strengthen the union between the two parties. Although she died in depression the second year after the emperor completed the reunification and failed to leave any heirs, the emperor still fulfilled their promise and allowed Guanghan Palace to return to Taiyin Mountain.
However, if there is really a competition, then the Li family is still a reservation of the previous royal family in terms of blood. Guanghan Palace also understands this truth, so there will be basically no examples of the Li family as the palace owner in the future, in order to dispel The court was suspicious and wary, and in fact, because of the long time ago, the Li family did not miss the previous dynasty - anyway, their lineage itself belonged to Chai Han's illegitimate children, and the connection had nothing to do with the royal family.
As everyone knows about the Chai family, apart from the coincidence-like fate of being short-lived, they also have an affectionate quality. Although Chai Han’s daughter has her mother’s surname, the descendants of Chai Mingyan and Hu’s daughter are in the same boat by chance. By coincidence, he learned about the family's history and changed his ancestral name back to his ancestral name, establishing Wuyi. His plan was also obvious.
It was no accident that Chai Sichou found Guanghan Palace, or the Li family represented by Li Wenqu - everyone in the world actually knew that the Li family was inextricably linked to the previous royal family, but before that Wuyi's strength was not enough for a sect of the magnitude of Guanghan Palace to put down everything they had and risk their lives with them, until Chai Sichou thought that the best time had come now through the combination of several prophecies and signs. When the opportunity came, he proposed the intention of cooperation to the Li family.
Ning Zanghua seemed to be afraid that Xiao Yu heard too clearly, so she said what she wanted to say almost without interruption, like a firecracker exploding, and finally carefully observed Xiao Yu's reaction.
But Xiaoyu didn't have the very intense or gloomy reaction that Hua'er expected. It was as calm as if Hua'er had shared a joke with her that wasn't funny as usual.
"You won't stop listening later!" Hua'er looked at Xiaoyu and stepped forward to touch the bruise on her cheek.
"I just..." Xiaoyu sighed, forced out a smile and said: "I originally thought this was the meaning of the entire sect, but if it is just the eldest sister, then we still have a high hope of winning."
"You...don't you blame the eldest sister?" Ning Zanghua looked at Xiao Yu with a troubled face. She was more concerned about the rift between Xiao Yu and the eldest sister because of this incident.
Xiao Yu slowly sat up straight, held Sister Hua'er's arm and jumped out of the bed, and finally said: "It's her fault, but I also want to give her a chance to explain."
…………
As dusk approached, a rather surprising guest came to visit the Yu family couple.
Li Wenqu still had the same heroic appearance and appearance, but all she could see on her face was a tired and lazy look. The Yu family and his wife were no strangers to Li Wenqu, but the only common topic between the three of them, besides mourning for the disaster of the escort agency, was about comforting each other about Xiao Yu.
But He Nan, who had been accompanying him all the time, saw something on Li Wenqu's face that others could not see. There must be some apology, regret and fear. Although the eldest sister was trying her best to restrain herself, He Nan could not escape. Difficult eyes.
"Is there anything you want to share with me?" He Nan, who was finally entrusted with the duty of seeing off guests, looked meaningfully at the woman's upright back after sending Li Wenqu out of the restaurant.
Li Wenqu seemed to have been waiting for He Nan's question, so he stopped and responded: "It seems that Xiaoyu usually praises you to us, and he is right... you are really smart."
"It should be." He Nan also moved the corner of his mouth slightly, not knowing what should be. He held the pipe in his mouth and said: "I am so smart, but I don't know what kind of magic power Chai Sichou has. How can you be willing to stand in a hostile position with the sister you grew up with?"
"I think it's not that illusory and indifferent blood relationship, right?" He Nan held his arms, his face looking extremely ugly against the smoke.
"I did cooperate with him, but the Taiping Escort incident was not my original intention." Li Wenqu took a deep breath, "As for why, I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"Oh? Then I have to take a guess... Are you in love with that man? Or are you dissatisfied with the current court? Or maybe you and Chai Sichou actually have the same ideals?" It can't be said that He Nan He wanted to deliberately anger Li Wenqu, but he could tell from the few interactions between the two that Li Wenqu was the kind of person who was not very good at controlling his emotions.
"It doesn't matter what you think." Li Wenqu folded her arms and turned around, but the pace of her movement was not fast. Obviously, these words were still difficult for He to hear: "I came today just to see how my uncle and aunt are doing, and Tell an understanding person like you that Xiaoyu did not fall into Wuyi’s hands.”
"Really... do you think doing this is a kind of atonement? Will it make you feel better when you see Xiaoyu in the future?" He Nan didn't care if he would irritate the other person, although he could also understand Li Wenqu's behavior. He was caught in a dilemma, but he felt that he should let this eldest sister wake up a little bit.
"To tell you the truth, it's too late for you to leave Chai Sichou now, otherwise you won't have time to get ashore when the ship sinks." He Nan dusted off the ashes and looked disapprovingly of Chai Sichou: "Everything that guy did was If you are seeking death, why should you stubbornly stand opposite your relatives and friends?"
"You don't have to worry about these things. I'm just following my heart. Although some injuries are inevitable and true, they may all be worth it." Li Wenqu also returned to his usual somewhat stern expression, as if The conversation with He Nan seemed to have made him determined.
He Nan nodded. If Li Wenqu did not do it out of coercion or other involuntary reasons, but because she believed in certain things, then he would also respect the other party's choice: "If that's the case, there will be differences between you sisters. The soldiers met each other." After saying that, He Nan knocked out the remaining ashes from his pipe and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Wait... let me ask you one last question." This time, it was Li Wenqu who stopped the young man: "How long do you think Xiaoyu will be sad about it if you die?"
"This question is one of the few that I can't make up the answer to, but I hope she will continue to move forward after she sheds tears." He Nan smiled, with a calm and firm voice: "But if you really want to know As for the answer, I suggest you ask her herself."
