"What else?" Qin Yuntian frowned when he heard the words, and said in disapproval, "Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

"I was young at the time, and my mother made up a random reason and sent me away." Qin Yunting rubbed his nose, somewhat guilty, and argued, "I just remembered."

"You... well." Qin Yuntian shook his head secretly, too lazy to talk about him, seeing Ling Xici's downcast eyes, slowed down his tone and said: "Don't worry too much, what happened that year, the queen mother will definitely I know."

"That's right." Qin Yunting echoed repeatedly, got up and said: "It's useless for us to guess here, why don't I take you into the palace now."

"Thank you Seventh Brother." Ling Xici thanked him first, shook his head and said, "But I can go by myself."

Qin Yuntian said: "Then I'll arrange a carriage for you."

Ling Xi resigned, "Third Brother Lao."

"What's the matter?" Qin Yuntian replied with a smile, and pulled Qin Yunting out together.

Outside the courtyard, Qin Yunting pulled his sleeve out of Qin Yuntian's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Third brother, it's fine if you don't help me persuade, why are you interrupting me?"

"Ling'er obviously doesn't want anyone to go with him, why do you have to follow?" Qin Yuntian said: "Besides, it's just entering the palace, not going to any dangerous place."

Qin Yunting wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Qin Yuntian irresistibly, "Okay, that's it, whether you should say it, how much you should say, the queen mother can judge for herself."

-

After some preparations, it was evening when Ling Xici met the Queen Mother, the other party was very pleasantly surprised by his sudden visit, pulled him to look carefully for a while, and uttered the common voice of thousands of elders, "Why are you so thin. "

Ling Xi resigned, "It's grown taller."

"How's your sleep?" The queen mother looked concerned, "Did you eat well?"

"Aunt." Ling Xici reminded her, "...I've already been bigu."

"How can this be done? You are still growing." The Empress Dowager disapproved all over her face, ordered people to prepare dinner vigorously, and immediately ordered people to serve a few plates of dim sum, and said to him: "Come on, let's make some cushions first."

It was not easy for Ling Xici to refuse, and besides, he hadn't figured out how to bring up the topic, so he took advantage of the situation and sat down.

After a meal, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to serve tea, she turned away from the left and right, and said softly: "Is Ling'er worried?"

Ling Xici gave a "hmm" and said in a low voice, "I have something to ask you."

The Queen Mother didn't seem surprised at all, "Is it about your parents?"

Ling Xici looked into her eyes, which were always gentle and loving. His eyes softened his defenses, and he nodded, "Yes, please tell me."

"I expected this day to come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon." The Queen Mother sighed, got up and walked outside, "Come with me."

The palace ladies were left in the palace, and the patrolling guards were also cleaned up in advance.It was quiet all around, except for the footsteps of the two and the occasional chirping of insects, there was no other sound.

The Empress Dowager carried a lamp, and the dancing candles in the lantern pulled the shadows of the two obliquely on the ground, illuminating the pavilion in front of them.

Ling Xici raised his eyes and saw the three of Lieyan Pavilion on the plaque, his expression moved slightly.Seeing the Queen Mother walking in without stopping, he quickly followed.

The walls on both sides are inlaid with night pearls, reflecting the corridor like daytime.The portrait is facing the corridor, if ordinary people walk in it, they will feel strange, but the Queen Mother walked very smoothly.

She stopped in front of a portrait, and raised the lamp in her hand, "This person is Prince Zhaoli, and the other person is Xue Xifeng." After she finished speaking, she deliberately stopped, as if to Waiting for Ling Xici's response.

Ling Xici nodded very lightly, and the Queen Mother looked slightly surprised, "You know?"

Ling Xi resigned: "I heard Yue Shufeng said it."

"That child." The Queen Mother read a sentence and asked him, "How much did he tell you?"

"I only know that they are brothers." Ling Xi replied, "I don't know anything else."

The queen mother smiled, and walked in, "Let's go, let's go upstairs."

There are restrictions on the second floor of Raging Flame Pavilion, which were released when they touched the Queen Mother, and closed again after both of them entered.

There was no night pearl on the second floor, so the Queen Mother lit the oil lamps on both sides with the candles inside the lantern, and the whole room was lit up.Ling Xici squinted his eyes for a while to get used to it, and then opened them again. After seeing the scene in the room clearly, he froze.

I saw that there were densely packed places in front of me, all of which were spirit seats.From the top floor to the bottom, there are fewer and fewer places. On the penultimate floor, there are only a few places here and there, and the last floor is directly vacant.And the above names, without exception, are all surnamed Xue.

No matter how this scene is put into anyone's eyes, it will make one's scalp tingle, Ling Xici couldn't help but take two steps forward, "Where is this?"

"As you can see." The Empress Dowager put the lantern in her hand aside, walked to the altar, clasped her hands together and worshiped, then turned and looked at him tenderly, "This is the ancestral hall of the Xue family."

The second floor of the Raging Flame Pavilion built in the imperial palace is actually an ancestral hall dedicated to the Xue family.No matter what it is, it is incredible enough.

Ling Xici followed the Empress Dowager's instructions and bowed, and then got up under the other party's instructions, and followed the other party to the apse.He already had a faint understanding in his heart, but it seemed to be shrouded in mist, and he couldn't see clearly.

The apse was vacant, and only a coffin was enshrined alone. Ling Xici saw the name on it at a glance, it was Xue Lingyan.

"This is Xue Xifeng's real name." The Empress Dowager said: "Originally this spiritual seat was placed in the front hall like the others. When Li Yang brought him back 18 years ago, he moved this spiritual seat here alone."

Ling Xici couldn't figure out why the royal family agreed to build a ancestral hall for the Xue family in the palace.But then he saw the Queen Mother stepping forward to take down the spiritual seat, and said in amazement, "...Aunt?"

"This is also what he explained." The queen mother took the rank and carefully put it away in a box, "Originally when you came back, the spiritual position in the apse could be withdrawn. I had scruples and delayed it for a while." .”

This series of developments completely confused Ling Xici. First, the master in the previous life was similar to the nominal father in this life, and then he learned that the identity of the other party was the "General Xifeng" who was erased from existence ten thousand years ago. , and then the Xue Jialing bit enshrined by the royal family.These things seem to be connected, but the key point seems to be disconnected, which is confusing.

"Don't worry." The Empress Dowager pulled him to sit facing each other, put a candle on the table, and said softly, "I'll tell you everything I know right now."

Daoji Continent has a long history, so long that people living in it can't remember what it was like in the earliest days. They only know that when people began to record history, the Qin family had already existed as a royal family.

The Qin family has the inherited royal blood, and there is also the Xue family that exists as a guardian.The Xue family was born obedient to the Qin family, and must guard the Qin family until the moment of death in battle. This is a spell engraved in the blood and passed down.

Until the dead.

After the two continents collided ten thousand years ago, the Northern Kingdom was the first to bear the brunt. The imperial power collapsed, and part of the royal family took refuge in Moxiu, forcing Prince Zhaoli, who was still young at the time, to go to the southern border. The Xue family was ordered to defend the imperial city and died in battle.

"Then..." Ling Xici didn't know what kind of address to use. Although it seemed that Xue Xifeng was equal to Xue Lingyan and his master, he still had a hard time equating these two people, "... ...how did he survive?"

"Unfortunately, no one knows about this." The queen mother shook her head, "I only know that he also went to the southern region later, and joined Dangjian Mountain as a senior brother like Prince Zhaoli, and the name he used was Ling. Furthermore, he later restored the identity of the Xue family to help Prince Zhaoli restore the country, and as a reward, after Prince Zhaoli returned to the country, he lifted the fetters on the bloodlines of the two families and established the Raging Flame Pavilion."

"No one knows what happened after that. All the classics with relevant records were destroyed by the order of Prince Zhaoli. The name Xue Lingyan also disappeared completely. Even the code name Xue Xifeng survived only in the word of mouth of a few insiders. middle."

"In the final analysis, it is the Qin family that owes the Xue family." The Queen Mother sighed, "So when Li Yang came back with him, I knew it was time for the Qin family to repay the debt."

Ling Xici was confused, "...they?"

"We are married in a fake way."

A female voice suddenly sounded from outside, Ling Xici looked back, and saw a woman in plain clothes slowly approaching, the other party had the same "Qin-style face" as Qin Yunting and others, even in plain clothes, she was still gorgeous and compelling, Do not look directly at.

The Queen Mother said: "Why did you come out?"

The woman smiled, "It's not easy to let my sister-in-law bear the burden alone." She walked in front of the two, smiled at Ling Xici, and said softly: "My name is Liyang."

Ling Xici was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and saluted, "...Eldest Princess."

"You don't need to see outside." Princess Li Yang stretched out her hand to support him, and said softly, "Sit down."

Ling Xici sat down as he said, with his eyebrows still frowning.The eldest princess who has disappeared for a long time is still alive, and the marriage is also fake, so her own life experience...

"You are indeed from the Qin family." Princess Liyang seemed to see what he was thinking, and said, "Although I am not sure which family member your other half of blood comes from, it is indeed my Qin family. There is no doubt about that.”

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and echoed: "If Ling'er doesn't mind, you can continue to call me by the previous name."

"As for me." Princess Liyang thought for a while, and said with a half-joke: "Although I am not really your mother, I don't mind if you call me that. Seven, they can also call me aunt."

"Aunt." Ling Xi paused, and then called out to Princess Liyang, "...little aunt."

Princess Liyang seemed slightly disappointed, but she still responded with a smile.

"Since Li Yang is here, let her tell you the rest." The queen mother got up and said, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

The two got up to send the queen mother away, and Princess Liyang led him back, "Actually, I saw you when you came to the Raging Flame Pavilion two years ago, but at that time I was restricted by the magic circle and couldn't go out, so I didn't Show up."

Hearing the other party's mention, Ling Xici only noticed the formation map under his feet. He looked carefully, then widened his eyes, and looked at the people around him in astonishment.

"You read that right." Princess Liyang said with a wry smile, "My body has already perished. He helped me arrange this formation so that my soul can still remain in this world."

It is no longer necessary to explain who this "he" is, Ling Xici couldn't help but ask, "Why?" He was obviously dead, but he still wanted to keep his soul from reincarnation.

Princess Liyang said: "I want to wait for him to come back, but he still hasn't given me the answer."

Ling Xici said with difficulty, "...then why don't you switch to the way of ghosts?" You can be no different from ordinary people if you cultivate to the top of the way of ghosts, why bother to stay in one place like this.

Princess Li Yang blushed and said in a low voice, "He doesn't like it."

"..." Ling Xi was speechless, he was a little embarrassed, but he still had to ask the other party, "Is he really my... father?"

Although all kinds of clues point to this answer, Ling Xici still vaguely feels that this is not the case. If the other party is really his biological father, then why does the other party let him call him master?

"I can't be sure about this." Princess Liyang said: "When I was trapped in a secret realm, he rescued me, and the condition he proposed was to marry him falsely, and give you a legitimate identity."

Ling Xici was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking, "What about the command of Langya Palace and the vision from heaven?"

"It's all fake." Princess Li Yang said, "It was made for your engagement leave."

Ling Xici: "..."

"Actually..." Eldest Princess Li Yang hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while and said, "I met you once in the past."

"I went on a trip for several years and didn't return. Actually, I was in the Canglan Realm. I accidentally fell into a crack in time and space. My body was destroyed. I only kept my soul and entered a palace by mistake. You were lying in it at that time. "

"Appearance looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, well, that's what you looked like when you were brought back two years ago. You were placed in an ice coffin, with your heart beating and breathing, as if you were asleep, but you couldn't wake up no matter what. "

Princess Li Yang said: "I originally wanted to wake you up and ask how to get out, but there was no way I could just wait there until I bumped into him coming back, and then I made an agreement with him and was brought out."

Ling Xici asked, "Did he tell you where he was going?"

"No." Princess Liyang shook her head, "Do you have that piece of jade?"

Ling Xici took it out according to his words. At first, it was only said that it was passed down from Langya Palace, but now it has been proved that the order is false, so the origin of this thing has naturally changed. Eight out of ten it is him. Master left him.

Seeing Princess Liyang's puzzled expression, he explained: "Yue Shufeng also gave me his piece when he divorced earlier. After putting the two pieces together, it automatically became like this."

"That's it." Princess Li Yang looked at it carefully for a while, shook her head and said, "I can't see it either. By the way, there are things he left for you on the third floor. Do you want to go up?"

Ling Xi responded with a resignation, and followed him to the third floor.Unlike the fullness of the first and second floors, the third floor was empty, with only a table in the middle, and a wooden box on the table.

The two were stopped by the formation at the stairs, Ling Xici broke through the formation and stepped forward, Princess Liyang wanted to follow, but was stopped by the formation that quickly closed.Ling Xici tried to explain it twice, but there was no response.

Princess Liyang stopped in her tracks, waited and watched for a while and then revealed regret, "It seems that this formation can only let you pass by alone."

"Then little aunt, wait for me for a while." Ling Xi resigned, "I'll be right back."

Princess Li Yang nodded, Ling Xici turned back, there was nothing else in the room except the restriction on the stairs, Ling Xici easily walked to the table and opened the box.There is only a note in the box, with the words Qing Jiange written on it.

Does this mean to let him go to Qingjiange?Ling Xici was a little speechless. He always knew that the other party didn't like to talk, but he didn't expect that the other party even wrote the same letter. What if he misunderstood the meaning.And is there anything that can't be said directly?Not only let him guess, but also let him go to two places.

Princess Liyang asked him from a distance, "Is there any question?"

Ling Xici responded, put away the note and was about to close the box back, but sharp-eyed glanced at a line of small words in the hidden place on the lower edge of the box.Just one sentence made him feel cold all over.

"Don't trust others, no one would want Xue Xifeng to reappear in the world."

The author has something to say: I changed the last sentence.
