"Yanqi made a mistake." When Cheng Yanqi heard the word secret, she quickly apologized for asking some secrets that she shouldn't have asked.
"It doesn't matter, it's not something that can't be said, but some secrets are interesting only if they are kept to themselves." Lin Xixue pursed her lips, but when she thought that Bai Qing and Xu Zhiyi were both in danger at the moment, her expression became serious again. .
Forget it, I'd better not send a message rashly to interfere with the two's escape. I'm sure they will take the initiative to contact them after they are out of danger.
"What troublesome thing did Miss Lin think of?" Seeing her sudden change in expression, Cheng Yanqi tried to share her worries and repay her favor.
Lin Xixue noticed some changes in Cheng Yanqi's attitude towards her, and said, "Mr. Cheng, in fact, I did these things because you moved me with your sincerity towards the girls. I never meant to repay the favor. You can do it." No need to lower yourself."
"Miss Lin" Cheng Yanqi was completely moved by her and was speechless.
"By the way, I came here to look for the owner of the hall this time. Firstly, I came to inform the owner of the good news. In addition, I have a few questions to ask you."
"Miss Lin, please tell me, I will tell you everything!" Cheng Yanqi finally found an opportunity to repay her kindness, and Cheng Yanqi became excited.
"Master Guancheng Hall, it seems that I know Governor Yun Chuiwei? And from what you're saying, it seems that you have known each other since you were children?" Lin Xixue asked.
Cheng Yanqi paused and was thinking about where to start. After a moment, she said, "Miss Lin asked me who made the mechanism underneath the book residence. But before she could explain it in detail, she was interrupted by someone. The series of events was interrupted, and there is no further story.”
"Not bad." Lin Xixue waited patiently for Cheng Yanqi to explain the relationship between the two topics.
"I wonder if Miss Lin has ever heard of the Fengmen Pass Incident that happened decades ago?" Cheng Yanqi not only did not explain the connection between the two, but instead brought up a new topic.
However, Lin Xixue knew nothing about the incident at Fengmen Pass. There was no description of this matter in her predecessor's memory, so she could only shake her head.
"Haha, the Yunzhou royal family themselves feel this is embarrassing, so naturally they are embarrassed to tell the outside world. Miss Lin has never heard of it, but she thinks it's normal."
Cheng Yanqi made a rare sarcastic comment on the Yunzhou royal family, and then continued to explain: "About fifty years ago, Emperor Rui had just ascended the throne, and the three major families were fully assisting him."
"Rui Emperor, isn't this the last emperor? It's been three generations since the current Emperor Xing." Lin Xixue asked.
"Yes, the three families who assisted Emperor Rui at that time were the Divine Engineers, the Divine Casters Xue Family, and the Divine Machine Historians!"
When Lin Xixue heard that the Xue family was forged by God, she couldn't help but be shocked. She instantly thought of the blacksmith Xue Xi who forged the light-breaking night for herself.
And the Cheng Yanqi in front of her was naturally the descendant of the divine engineer. As for Shi Xueqian, he must be a descendant of the divine historian.
Just why Shi Xueqian, a descendant of the Shi family, can still hold a high position, but the Cheng family and the Xue family have fallen into decline, and Xue Xi's life is even more unbearable, and it is completely impossible to see that his ancestors were once rich.
At that time, Xue Xi's confession seemed to mean that her ancestors were on the wrong side. She didn't understand what this meant at the time, but now after hearing about the "Fengmen Pass Incident", she had some vague guesses.
"So, Master Cheng is the descendant of this amazing engineer."
"Yes, not long after Emperor Rui came to the throne, his uncle took advantage of his own troops. After the Fengmen Pass Incident, he forced Emperor Rui to abdicate. The three major families fought to the death. However, Emperor Rui's foundation was unstable, and he finally had to issue an edict to abdicate. "
"After that, Emperor Rui was placed under house arrest in the palace. His uncle, the former Emperor Jing, intended to recruit the three major families. However, the three major families were favored by the old emperor and were unwilling to surrender."
"Originally Emperor Jing only restricted the rights of the three families, but did not take any further steps until the Shenzhu Xue family did something that completely broke the balance."
"The Xue family bribed the palace officials and secretly moved Emperor Rui who was under house arrest out of the palace with the intention of resurrecting. However, the matter was eventually exposed. The Xue family was exterminated by nine clans, and my Cheng family was also implicated. All the men were distributed, and the women were They were all demoted to the Jiaofang Department."
Speaking of this, Cheng Yanqi couldn't help but clenched her fists, and her whole body trembled with anger.
"But what about the Shi family? Why is the Shi family safe and sound?" Lin Xixue was puzzled.
"After all, the Shi family is not like my Cheng family and Xue family. Their role is mainly in logistics. The Shi family can really lead troops to kill, so their status in Emperor Jing's heart is naturally more important."
"So, the two parties were already married before, and thanks to the mediation of this relationship, the Shi family was able to survive."
"However, the so-called cycle of cause and effect means unfavorable retribution. Not long after Emperor Jing usurped the throne, he contracted a serious illness and died. The young Emperor Xing had to take the throne."
"Emperor Xing has no ministers he can trust to assist him, and his abilities are in shambles. This has made the lives of Yunzhou miserable."
Lin Xixue suddenly realized that no wonder there had been constant military disasters all over Yunzhou since she traveled through time. She never expected that there was such a secret in it.
But then she thought that this happened forty or fifty years ago, so when Cheng Yanqi was born, hadn't the Cheng family already been assigned?
"I see that Master Cheng is only in his early twenties, but the Cheng family has been assigned to the family 40 or 50 years ago, so Miss Cheng?"
"Miss Lin, you are right, I was born in Jiaofangsi." Although Cheng Yanqi's face could not be seen, Lin Xixue could tell that she was clenching her teeth when she said this.
"Actually, my background is not glorious. After my mother fell into prostitution, the medicine didn't work for some reason, so she had me soon." Perhaps because she was extremely angry, Cheng Yanqi's voice suddenly calmed down.
Lin Xixue stepped forward and held her hand, signaling her to stop talking, but she seemed to have finally found some outlet and vented all the unwillingness in her heart.
"The Jiaofangsi naturally wanted my mother to have an abortion, but my mother still used a trick to hide it from them. By the time they found out that they had been deceived, it was already too late."
"My mother was the leader of the family at that time, and forcing me to have an abortion would probably lead to death, so they had to reluctantly agree to give birth to me."
"I grew up in the Jiaofangsi, and I saw too many Israeli women who had trouble with others and ended up with such a miserable fate."
"My mother often shed tears, saying she was sorry for me, and often asked herself whether she should have given birth to me, but suddenly one day she seemed to have figured out something."
"She began to teach me how to read and write, teach me chess, calligraphy and painting, and teach me machine skills."
"I will never forget that day. I will never forget that day."
"I still remember the day when I achieved some success in my art of mechanism. My mother very solemnly gave me a rusty bronze statue, as well as a bag of scattered gold, silver and jewelry."
"She told me to live a good life in the future, and then she will, she will"
Cheng Yanqi finally couldn't speak any more. She had so many tears that she had to take off her veil and reveal her peerless face.
I fell asleep sitting down again last night. I will start paying off my debt today and there will be another chapter in the afternoon.
