After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

While traveling in Western Xinjiang, Wen Xi was fascinated by strange stories.

Either they would hold fruits and vegetables all day, squat on street corners and chat with neighbors; or they would spend the whole day in a teahouse.

Yuan Qi was worried about the little girl who didn't come home, so he just used his trump card, "I have a story here, do you want to hear it, Auntie?"

Wen Xi, whose interest was aroused, waved goodbye to the teahouse and the street corner, and happily caught up with the scholar.

"A long time ago, there lived a pair of brothers who were madly seeking the answer to immortality."

"But after nearly a thousand years, many ancient books that recorded longevity have long been lost. They can only use clues from various strange stories to try to unravel the mystery and find the 'candle bead', which they are sure is the longevity pill."

"It was not until my elder brother inherited the position of the head of the family that they were able to get close to the library with the most traps in the world."

"The brothers were shocked to discover that there was already a woman who was proficient in medicine and poison, had mastered the method of longevity, and had successfully refined the candle beads."

"But for some reason, that woman gave up on immortality."

Wen Xi was stunned: "How do you know that the woman gave up immortality? Maybe she just hid herself? After all, it's immortality! If she is killed as a monster, it will be a loss."

Yuan Qi was certain: "The ancestors of the two brothers left a note that described in detail the funeral of the woman. The woman is indeed dead."

Hearing this, Wen Yan was full of curiosity: "Where is the candle bead? Did you find it?"

Yuan Qi: "The woman chose to hide the candle beads in Luobu Mountain and set up an extremely sophisticated formation for defense and attack. The two brothers tried various methods to open the formation, but the woman was an extremely powerful formation master, and they could only fail again and again."

"It was not until ten years later that the two brothers worked together to crack the formation and finally found the candle bead."

"But, there are two brothers, but there is only one candle bead. Who should I give it to?"

After saying that, Yuan Qi looked at the little girl who suddenly fell silent, and then he realized that Wen Xi had been using the word "you guys".

Perhaps she had already guessed it, but she chose to keep it to herself and pretend nothing had happened.

"There was no fratricide or brother-killing." Yuan Qi stroked his left wrist. "They split the candle bead in two and each ate half. They thought that even if they couldn't live forever, living five or six hundred years would be enough."

"However, they thought this act against heaven was too simple. They simply cannot bear the consequences of retribution."

On the day that Abao returned to the palace, he stared at Concubine Wen who had come back to her senses from her memories.

Concubine Wen clutched her Buddhist beads, her face gloomy, "Although Yuan Qi did not explain what the consequences were, but..."

But the consequences seem to be obvious enough.

He was a handsome young man when he was young, and even when he was old, he was still a handsome and elegant old man.

He will not become a short, ugly, old man like Yuan Chenji, who is old and gloomy, with a weird look in his eyes.

In the Xuanshi Hall, under the warm sunlight, A Bao couldn't help but shiver. Then he scanned the portraits hanging on the sandalwood frames one by one, young people, teenagers, and even old people...

According to Yuan Qi, the woman who refined the candle beads was 99% likely Queen Qi Jiang.

After all, the unusual movement at Mount Luobu was a formation left by the ancestors, and it was very likely that it attracted the attention of Emperor Xianling, who was already obsessed with cultivating immortals.

Ah Bao remembered that when she was secretly investigating the Yuan family, she had checked the records kept by the Imperial Observatory - the names of every head of the Yuan family.

According to Yuan Qi, when the two brothers controlled the Yuan family, the head of the Yuan family was called Yuan Ying.

As for Yuan Chenji, he suddenly appeared in the Yuan family during the reign of Emperor Xianling.

It is said that Yuan Ying fell in love with an orphan girl, but he did not know that the orphan girl had given birth to his son. It was not until the orphan girl died of illness that she wrote a letter to Yuan Ying to tell him the truth. Yuan Ying then brought his only son back to Yuanmu Mountain. At that time, Yuan Chenji was already about 18 or 19 years old.

Not long after that, Yuan Ying suddenly became insane and jumped off the back mountain of Yuanlao Mountain.

And Yuan Chenji naturally took the position of the head of the Yuan family with his secret skills that were no less than his father's.
