"My uncle is here late at night, isn't he here for tea?"

After hearing this, Qi Jingyu put down the tea cup, raised his head and stared at the starry sky, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

After a long time, he said leisurely, "I had a dream. When I woke up, the events in the dream were vivid in my mind, as if I had experienced them myself..."

Yunhuang didn't interrupt him, just listen silently at this time.

He continued: "In the dream, I was a high-ranking immortal king, but I was betrayed by my most trusted brother and my beloved woman, and ended up dead..."

"I remember myself saying in the dream that if there is an afterlife, I will definitely cut off the seven emotions and six desires, practice the ruthless way, and cross the galaxy to avenge myself."

Yunhuang accompanied him to look up at the starry sky. The stars in the sky were like shining diamonds, embedded in the night sky, glittering and translucent, looming.

Don’t tell me, it’s pretty good-looking!

Finally, he chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, "I don't know if these things are true. After thinking about it, I can only share them with you."

This dream should be Qi Jingyu's memory before his reincarnation. It seems that the attack on the way of heaven left a loophole, allowing him to remember it in the form of a dream.

Yunhuang couldn't relate to what he was going through, and knew that he didn't need comfort, he just wanted to tell these things.

Now that he has remembered these memories, it means that his sealed strength has begun to recover.

"Uncle, the tea is cold."

"..."

The sad atmosphere that Qi Jingyu had finally brewed was shattered by her six words. When it comes to making people look bad, no one can compare to her.

Although he was complaining like this in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud. He could only put his palm on top of the teapot resignedly. After a while, it started to steam.

After pouring another cup of hot tea, Yunhuang pointed to a magnolia tree on the left side of the yard, "I like this tree very much because it has beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, its flowering period is very short, less than a month. Time has been lost, can granduncle make it bloom again?"

Qi Jingyu looked at her with the eyes of an elder looking at a junior, and then showed a doting smile, "Okay!"

He stepped forward and gently placed his palm on the tree trunk. He lasted about as long as a cup of tea. Flower buds began to appear sporadically on the bare branches, and then more and more, and finally the whole tree was covered with flowers.

The autumn wind is cold, and the faint fragrance is floating in the yard. The flawless white petals under the moonlight give people an otherworldly feeling.

"Thank you!"

"What?" Yunhuang, who was admiring the flowers, found this thank you incomprehensible.

However, Qi Jingyu still looked incomprehensible and full of emotion, "You want to tell me that it's good to live in the present, and you don't have to worry about the past."

"No, I just want to see the flowers." Yunhuang also knew that she shouldn't break the illusion at this time, but she couldn't help but want to say it.

"..." It ruins the scenery.

"Grandpa, don't you think drinking tea, admiring flowers, stargazing, and looking at the moon sound very elegant?"

"..." Elegant, really elegant.

The next day, Xiao Tao saw the magnolia blossoms on the branches and shouted excitedly in the yard. Princess Yueyang, who lived not far away and didn't know the reason, thought there was something wrong with Yunhuang's health again, so she hurried over with her people. .

I was a little surprised to see the white magnolia blooming against the season. I immediately thought it was an auspicious sign and ordered people to put up a shed to keep out the cold and take good care of it.

Nowadays, the situation in Prince Ping'an's palace is not optimistic. Xia Qian'an is in jail and Xia Hong is missing. The people who planned it are obviously targeting the Xia family.

So even Princess Yueyang, who usually didn't care about ghosts and gods, could only use this method to appease everyone.

Three more days passed like this, and five days had passed since the incident.

Yunhuang planned to go to Xia Qianan and ask about the plan between him and the emperor, and she also made preparations in advance.

At three o'clock in the morning, in the prison cell of Dali Temple.

This place is much cleaner than the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. After all, the prisoners are all royal family members or dignitaries. No one dares to treat them harshly until the charges are confirmed.

In a fairly spacious cell, there were four walls, except for a cast-iron gate. There was a light-transmitting window above the wall opposite the door, and faint moonlight shone in at this time.

There was a wooden bed, a table and two stools, and the floor was very clean, but there was a damp smell in the air, which made people feel sticky.

"Daddy." Yunhuang called softly.

Xia Qian'an was facing away from her, looking at the night scene outside through the small window. What was incredible was that he was still drinking.

"Come in! The door is unlocked."

"..." Aren't you afraid that someone will rob the prison?

When Yunhuang walked in, he realized that not only did he have wine to drink, but there were also five dishes on the table to go with the wine.

"It seems that daddy is living a good life."

Xia Qian'an said with a rather proud expression, "The Minister of Dali Temple is my brother-in-law, so I still get this kind of preferential treatment."

"..." Yunhuang was silent for a while, "I want to tell mother about your drinking."

Hearing this, Xia Qian'an jumped up and stood up quickly, "Huang'er, sit down quickly. Daddy guessed that you were coming over and warmed up the stool for you in advance."

Then he put all the food and wine into the food box, wiped the table clean with quick movements, walked out with the food box, and came back after a while, carrying a pot of hot tea.

"..." So, what's the point of being imprisoned?

Free access? No worries about eating and drinking? Is this going to jail?

Fortunately, Princess Yueyang is still worried about him suffering in prison, but now it seems that she is being sentimental.

The father and daughter sat opposite each other. Xia Qian'an rubbed his fingers and asked nervously, "Huang'er, how is everything going in the house? How is your mother? Is there anyone making trouble for you?"

Yunhuang sighed, held the tea cup, and said softly, "Not long after you left, the second brother came back with the prince. My mother woke up quickly under the treatment of the doctor, and the news came the next day. Immediately after the news of your imprisonment, the imperial army surrounded the palace and the prince was also banned."

Xia Qian'an nodded. Judging from his expression, he should have already anticipated the development of the matter.

"Dad, is this... your plan with the emperor's uncle? Brother, he..."

"Your eldest brother is really missing." Speaking of Xia Hong, Xia Qian'an also showed a worried look, "My Majesty and I just discovered that someone in the court secretly communicated with the Western Qin Dynasty. Before we could take action, they took action first."

"Isn't it bad for you, big brother?" Yunhuang showed an anxious look at the right time.

In fact, she knew in her heart that Xia Hong was safe now, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would have a sister-in-law soon.

But in order not to make these people suspicious, she still had to pretend to know nothing.

"Don't worry, the Holy Emperor has sent people to search for him secretly. Judging from the news we have received so far, your eldest brother should still be alive."
