I have a disease, do you have a doctor?

Yao Xue followed a group of people to the front of the hall, the royal family all entered the hall, and the rest of the officials waited at the entrance of the hall.

The ceremony officially begins.

The gods believed in by Yong State are very different from those of Liang State. People in Liang State prefer brightly colored clothes on weekdays, but they wear dark and solemn clothes on formal occasions.Yongguo is just the opposite. They think that they should be low-key and frugal on weekdays, but they should dress up solemnly when facing the gods.

Therefore,? Today, the royal family in the palace put on brightly colored costumes. Both male and female, they all wore a lot of accessories, and the design of the clothes was also very cumbersome.

With the sound of silk and bamboo music playing in the hall, Emperor Ningyuan and the Empress first knelt down and prayed to the tablets of their ancestors, followed by a group of direct blood relatives and offshoots.

Yao Xue had participated in such activities several times before. He was not from a noble family, so he didn't pay too much attention to these etiquettes, so he felt extremely boring after standing outside the hall for a while.He had a fight with Qiu Chen last night, almost as if he hadn't slept, but now he actually wanted to yawn.

Three days before offering sacrifices to the ancestors, one should burn incense and bathe, meditate quietly, and prohibit alcohol, what? But they yesterday... Yao Xue thought of this, and smiled slightly in her heart, thinking, he and Qiuchen, when It is really disrespectful to these gods and ancestors.Since they were young, they don't seem to believe in fate,? They don't believe in gods and Buddhas all over the sky.

Yao Xue let herself think endlessly for a while, and after a while, Qiu Chen was still thinking about it, so she simply narrowed her eyes and looked behind the curtain in the hall.

Qiuchen should be behind the curtain.I don't know what the other party will look like wearing the complicated costumes of the Yong Kingdom's royal family.

Thinking of this, Yao Xue finally became more energetic. At the same time, Emperor Ning Yuan finally got to the point.

The old emperor slowly inserted the last incense/into the incense burner, turned around, looked at the clansmen and ministers, and said in a deep voice: "It's rare for you to gather together today. I am very relieved. On such a special day, I have another happy event to announce to you all."

After hearing this, the drowsy crowd was refreshed.

Emperor Ningyuan continued: "I have a shallow relationship with my children. Although I sincerely begged for a child all these years, I still have only one daughter under my knees. But I didn't realize that it was God who favored me so that I could find my own life in this old age. Bone and blood."

When he said this, he clapped his hands lightly.

The attendants standing on both sides of the inner door gently lifted the curtain, and Qiu Chen walked out slowly from behind the curtain.

Even though Yao Xue was very familiar with Qiu Chen, seeing this situation, she couldn't help but froze in place.

Qiu Chen uncommonly tied his black hair into a bun, and wore a small glazed jade crown on his head.He is wearing the traditional attire used by the royal family of the Yong Kingdom for sacrifices. The color is bright and flamboyant. The colorful textures made Qiuchen's skin fairer, which made people forget the commonplace.

Qiu Chen walked slowly to the front of the hall. At this time, the clouds just parted, and the soft sky light shone on his face. Only then did Yao Xue see clearly that the other party's face was painted with light makeup.

At the end of Qiu Chen's eyes, a thin line of eyeliner was drawn with bright red paint, which portrayed his pair of bright and charming peach blossom eyes with eager anticipation.There was a little scarlet lip balm in the center of his originally thin lips, which looked bright red at the moment.

In addition, a pair of earrings were even hung on his earlobes. Those earrings were two red gemstones polished into round shapes. Such precious gemstones were always only given to the nobles with the highest status in the Yong Kingdom.Qiu Chen was originally born very gorgeous, but now that he changed into such an attire, his face was even more breathtaking.

Qiu Chen's absolute demeanor resembled the sons of gods on the murals of the Emperor Yong's Mausoleum, Yao Xue couldn't help but hold his breath, and the rest of the people just looked up at the hall silently for a while.

Naturally, Bai Yu and Ji Xi's pupils trembled enormously, exaggerated as if they were cruising, and they directly exclaimed in a low voice.

Qiu Chen was admired by so many people, but his expression was not very happy. He just glanced at the crowd indifferently, and his eyes touched Yao Xue. He paused for a while, and finally pursed his lips imperceptibly and turned around go.

He bent down to Emperor Ningyuan, remained silent for a while, and finally opened his mouth slowly: "See Father."

Emperor Ningyuan watched him happily for a long while, and even a little smile appeared on his old face.

He helped Qiu Chen up, brought him to the front of the hall, and said to the crowd: "This child is my eldest son and my only son. He has been living outside in the early years, and I have never given up looking for it. Today It is his blessing and Dayong's blessing to be able to find him back."

As soon as Emperor Ning Yuan said these words, everyone finally recovered from the shock just now, and then there was a burst of whispering.

Emperor Ning Yuan didn't care much, and led Qiu Chen to the empress again, and said in a slow voice, "Go and see your empress mother soon."

When Qiu Chen heard this, he couldn't help clenching his hands into fists under his sleeves.He calmly pulled the sleeves out of Emperor Ning Yuan's hands, and raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him calmly.

The other party was dressed in a fine attire, as if she was the mother of a nation.She is not young anymore, and she is well maintained, and there are faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes.But the queen had a very kind face, and when she saw Qiu Chen looking at her, she smiled kindly at him.

Qiu Chen looked away, and just stood there for a moment without making a sound.

Emperor Ning Yuan saw that he hadn't moved, so he lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Everyone is watching, what are you doing? Why don't you kneel down!"

Qiu Chen didn't respond to him, in the end he could only suppress his nausea, leaned down, and said to the queen, "See mother."

At the same time, he closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: Aunt, I had no choice but to make such a bad plan today.I have only recognized you as a mother from beginning to end, and I have never regarded that old thing as a father.My father was only Daddy from beginning to end. ...all of this is coming to an end.

After receiving Qiu Chen's gift, the queen seemed a little panicked, and hurriedly helped him up.

The priest at the side saluted Qiu Chen and handed him a stick of incense, signaling him to insert the incense into the altar in the center of the hall.

Once this ceremony is completed, Qiu Chen will officially return to the royal family of Yong Kingdom.

Qiu Chen pursed his lips, and was about to step forward, but someone in the hall suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

Qiu Chen turned around slowly and looked down the stairs.

The person who spoke was a man in black. He looked to be in his 30s, with a dignified appearance and a very tall figure.His appearance is not bad, but there is a ruthless look between his brows, giving people an impression of scheming.Today everyone was wearing brightly colored clothes, but he was the only one dressed in black, which seemed a bit out of place at the moment.But he didn't care much, he just looked up at Qiu Chen with some disdain.

Emperor Ning Yuan on the side saw this, and said with some displeasure: "Fifth brother, what objection do you have?"

Seeing this, Qiu Chen knew in his heart that this person must be Qi Yu, the famous Prince of Wei.

Qi Yu stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Ningyuan, and said, "Your Majesty, if you can find your heir again today, I will be sincerely happy for you and for Dayong. It's just that it's about the blood of the royal family. You should be cautious. Your Majesty, you are a saint with a compassionate heart, so don't let some people with ulterior motives take advantage of it." When he said this, he glanced at Qiu Chen meaningfully.

Emperor Ningyuan couldn't be more clear about Prince Wei's thoughts.If Qiu Chen didn't show up, Qi Yu would be the most orthodox heir to the throne, but now that Qiu Chen recognizes the sect, Qi Yu's soon-to-be-acquired throne will be handed over immediately.

Emperor Ningyuan himself also came step by step from the prince who seized the heir. He knew that Qi Yu could not let it go, so he squinted his eyes and said, "Prince Wei, what do you mean, I don't recognize my son?" , Misidentified someone else to come back?"

Qi Yu hurriedly bowed down to salute: "I dare not. It's just that His Royal Highness seems to have deceived His Majesty with many secrets."

Yao Xue stood outside the hall, and when she heard such words, her heart couldn't help but tighten.At the same time, the people around him also talked about it.

Qi Yu clapped his hands lightly, and immediately his attendants brought several people to the hall.

Qiu Chen looked at those people slightly, but he didn't have the slightest impression in his mind.

Qi Yu smiled, and said unhurriedly: "These people are all servants in the palace of His Highness the Prince. Yesterday, they were all bitten by the same kind of poisonous insect. After the examination by the imperial physician, the poisonous insect that bit them, It should be a rare Gu insect that can make people lose consciousness in an instant."

When Qi Yu said this, he bowed to Emperor Ningyuan and said: "Dayong has always banned Gu, whether in the palace or among the people, there are very few people who can control Gu. But in the palace of His Royal Highness, there seems to be a Use Gu to master people. Moreover, I heard that His Royal Highness seems to have been in Liang Country before returning to the palace. As we all know, Liang Country is a big country for controlling Gu."

Emperor Ning Yuan was still unmoved after hearing these words.He took a fixed look at Qi Yu, and just said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Qi Yu smiled, and called a few more attendants.The few people stood aside with their heads bowed, each holding something in their hands.

When Qiuchen saw clearly what these attendants were holding, his pupils shrank suddenly.

When he was packing his bags in Xianling, he found that several utensils for refining gu were missing in the house, as well as several priceless treasures.At that time, he only thought that he was taken away by the group of people who were looking for him, or was destroyed in the chaos, so he didn't care much.

Unexpectedly, these things actually found their way into the hands of Prince Wei.

Sure enough, Prince Wei began to question: "These things are all obtained from the residence of His Royal Highness in Xianling. These few tools are only used to refine very high-level Gu. In addition , Most of these treasures are made of beeswax silver. Liang country is rich in beeswax silver, and this kind of silver is only supplied to the royal family of Liang country, and it is impossible to obtain it easily in Yong country."

"So, based on the above clues, this His Royal Highness probably has another identity, that is the world-wreaking Gu king of Liang Kingdom." Qi Yu finally raised his eyes and looked at Qiu provocatively. Chen.

After Qiu Chen listened, he just looked at Qi Yu indifferently, and didn't make a sound.But at the same time, he was still a little panicked, because he couldn't find a suitable reason for a while to justify his previous identity.

There was an uproar inside and outside the hall, everyone was discussing, all kinds of scrutiny eyes fell on Qiu Chen.

Seeing this, Yao Xue clenched her fists tightly, her palms covered with cold sweat.Bai Yu and Ji Xi, who were standing beside him, knew the truth a long time ago, but there were not too many disturbances at the moment.Bai Yu observed the hall for a while, then moved closer to Yao Xue in a subtle way, and whispered in his ear: "Qi Yu is a treacherous and cunning man, and he is not easy to deal with. You have already prepared countermeasures?"

Yao Xue didn't expect Bai Yu to stand on their side, she glanced at him gratefully, and finally could only shake her head.He knew that Qi Yu was cunning, but he didn't expect that Qi Yu would directly attack him at the ancestor worship ceremony.While anxious, he heard Emperor Ning Yuan say: "Fifth brother, you can consider so much for me and Dayong, I am very relieved. Now that I have said this, I might as well explain the truth here. "

For a moment, everyone looked at Emperor Ningyuan.Emperor Ning Yuan cleared his throat, looked down the steps and said in a deep voice, "This eldest son of mine is exactly a hidden stake that I have buried in Liangguo for many years."

"For many years, Yong Kingdom has been constantly invaded by Liang Kingdom. Although the two countries have fought many times, the two sides have always been at a stalemate. The first emperor was worried about this day and night. I was still a prince at that time. I couldn't bear to see him so worried, so I wanted to do it for him. He shared one or two. The first emperor valued me, chose my eldest son, and raised him outside the palace. When he grows up to be a teenager, find a suitable opportunity to place him next to King Liang, and keep in touch with me. , report the news of Liang, and jointly seek a strategy to defeat the enemy."

When Qi Yu heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Emperor Ningyuan continued: "The child's mother left early, but fortunately he did not disappoint me, and he was promoted to a high position not long after he was in Liangguo. It took more than ten years in a flash, and he used the Gu technique this time to make Liangguo's previous The expansion of fiefdoms and civil strife can be said to be a great achievement. Liang is already at the end of its battle, and I brought him back this time to discuss countermeasures together and wipe out Liang in one fell swoop."

When he said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yu. Although his voice was calm, it was full of coercion: "Prince Wei, you openly questioned me in front of the palace and questioned my decision. Is it?"

Seeing that Emperor Ningyuan dared to face the memorial tablet of the late emperor and talk nonsense in front of the portraits of his ancestors and the statues of the gods of Yong Kingdom, Qiu Chen couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

Jiang is still old and hot. What Emperor Ningyuan said is not only sacrificing his personal affection for the sake of the country, but also using the late Emperor as a shield. Even if other people have objections, they dare not say a word .

Prince Wei was sent to the army. Although he was unwilling, in order to protect himself at this moment, he had to kneel down in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, I was reckless. I didn't know that all this was ordered by the late emperor. I also For the sake of the country and the society, he only listened to the slander of the villain for a while, so he made such a big mistake. Your Majesty Wanwang forgives the sin!"

Emperor Ningyuan stared at him for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice: "You secretly bought someone, sent someone to investigate the prince's private affairs, and repeatedly disrespected the late emperor and me, and interrupted the sacrificial ceremony rashly. The crime should be punished." He said here, pretending to be kind and said: "I think that I have been a brother with you for many years, so I can spare you the death penalty, but you will be fined for one year, and the punishment will be minor. In addition, until the ceremony When it’s over, you can go back to your mansion, and you are not allowed to go out without my order, and you are not allowed to meet foreign ministers at will.”

When Qi Yu heard that Emperor Ningyuan had punished him so severely, he immediately looked up at Emperor Ningyuan angrily.But when he saw Emperor Ning Yuan, he just looked at him indifferently, there was no room for change, and finally he had to retreat a little embarrassingly.

Emperor Ning Yuan didn't pay any more attention to Qi Yu, but turned his head to look at Qiu Chen, signaling him to finish the etiquette quickly.

Qiu Chen watched the scene just now, and secretly sighed in his heart, Emperor Ning Yuan, an old fox, deserved to be in power for many years, he was decisive and ruthless.Finally, he closed his eyes, and inserted the nearly burnt stick of incense in his hand into the incense burner.

The music in the hall sounded again, and Emperor Ningyuan led Qiu Chen to the center of the hall, and said loudly to the clan members in the hall and the officials outside the hall: "From today onwards, he is my eldest son, and he is bestowed with the surname Qi." , to live in Qingli Palace. If anyone dares to question Yu Zhen, and Yu Zhen’s eldest son, then he will be disrespectful to the late emperor and deal with it according to conspiracy."

Inside and outside the hall, all the officials knelt down and worshiped.

The author has something to say: Liang State’s culture and system are very different from Yong State’s

In the early days of Liangguo, the nomadic clans and tribes? They were more martial arts? They respected the art of Gu

Yongguo is relatively well-regulated? But the rich place is big? It is more civilized
