Glued up by my father's nemesis

Li Sheng Dynasty, Jianye 24 years, Xia.

Qi Tongfu was found dead in the underground prison of Dali Temple the day after Yan Fei left. The cause of death is unknown.

The [-] punishment executioners in Dali Temple Prison are all veterans, especially for such heavy offenders, they are very numerous. After the autopsy, it was neither trauma nor poisoning, but the death was miserable.

His body was hung outside the city gate for more than a month, awakening the descendants, and finally abandoned in the wilderness.

Some people said that he had harmed too many people, and he was dismembered to vent his anger; others said that he was gone, no one remembered him anymore, and he was just taken away by wild dogs.

People are not very interested in where his body went, but they are very interested in the cause of death of this low-level person who ended up in a turbulent state, because that is a mystery.

However, this interest will not last long.

In the winter of the same year, Emperor Shengming passed away, and the fourth prince, Li Fan, ascended the throne smoothly. He was called Emperor Shengzhao and changed the name of the country to "Jiping", which meant the creation of peace for all generations.

The government and the opposition are cleared up, and the new year is coming. The new emperor ascends the throne, and the people are rejoicing.

People quickly forgot the military disaster last year, and also forgot the maker of that military disaster, and walked into new hope.

Perhaps only Yan Fei understands how Qi Tongfu died. Some people lose the meaning of life and even lose the basis for their heartbeat and breathing.

Just like him now.

Haishi has come, and the boiling of the street outside the window is still unabated, and it can be heard through many courtyard walls.

The first day of the new year also marked the beginning of the first year of Jiping after Emperor Shengzhao ascended the throne, but except for that night, Yan Fei never stepped out of his room again.

"Brother." Yan Yi hastily pushed open the door, "Today is the first time since the new emperor ascended the throne to feast all the ministers. You know it is impossible for me to go home so early."

He looked at the cold food on the table and said, "Even if you want to find me, you don't have to use this method..."

After a busy day, when he entered the door, he saw Yan Chengli spun around in a hurry, saying that Yan Fei hadn't eaten all day; he didn't know how to face Yan Fei, but even if there was no other party, he would I still have to come.

"Almost half a year has passed, and Qi Tongfu has also pleaded guilty. Has the party's verdict come down yet?" Yan Fei said indifferently, "What kind of efficiency is this in your Dali Temple?"

"The exile, exile, and relegation of all the criminals are carried out in sequence." Yan Yi lowered his voice, "It is not appropriate to see blood when the new emperor ascends the throne. Repeat offenders will be imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison and will be executed in the autumn."

Because he knew what Yan Fei really wanted to ask, he never dared to look him in the eye.

"It's been a while since the new emperor ascended the throne." Yan Fei didn't intend to hide it, and went straight to the point: "Where's the list of amnesty to the world?"

What should come can never be avoided.

Yan Yi took a deep breath, "Anyone who commits a rebellion is an unforgivable crime."

"Brother——" he mustered up the courage to look at Yan Fei for the first time, "You should have guessed the result a long time ago, didn't you?"

There was no fluctuation on Yan Fei's face when he heard the words, he just nodded lightly, "I see."

Yan Yi stood in front of the door, in a dilemma, and after a long silence, he said, "I'll ask the servants to bring out the dishes and heat them up."

Yan Fei stared at Yan Yi, his eyes were indifferent, noncommittal, until the servant went out with cold dishes, Yan Yi was still standing by the door, motionless, and then he asked lightly: "Do you have anything else to ask me?"

Yan Yi nodded, "Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace tonight, and we have important matters to discuss."

"Enough of Yan Yi!" Yan Fei suddenly became ruthless, and slapped the teacup in his hand, "The same excuse is not enough to use it once, so do you have to use it a second time?"

"Are you stupid, or I am extremely stupid in your heart, and I will be deceived by your same lies again and again!"

Again!

Last time, if Yan Yi hadn't said that Li Fan, who was still the Fourth Highness at that time, had invited him into the palace, if he had been in the mansion, he would never have allowed the people from Dali Temple to take Qi Jingsi away without knowing why. They didn't even see each other for the last time. Not a word of farewell was said.

The Fourth Highness is now Emperor Shengzhao, why do the same thing happen again.

"This time, what do you guys want to do to Jing Si?" Yan Fei trembled with hatred, "Didn't you cut him off at the end of Qiuhou!"

The bruises in his eyes gradually turned scarlet, "I just want to wait to collect his body, can't I?"

"Yan Fei, be sober!" This was the first time Yan Yi called Yan Fei by his name directly.

"I can lie to you in the name of His Highness Fourth, but he is already the emperor now—" He rested his hands on the table, panting violently, "Do I still dare to falsely preach the imperial decree?"

"Couldn't you be in collusion?" Yan Fei frowned, his big eyes, which in Qi Jingsi's eyes, were more beautiful than the full moon on the treetops of Lanshan, were powerlessly half-closed, "You tricked me into entering the palace last time, didn't you Your Highness didn't cooperate with you to hold me back and let me stay in the palace?"

"I lied to you, we big fellows unite to lie to you!" Yan Yi said heartbrokenly: "But which one of us is not for your own good?"

He turned angrily and grabbed a bronze mirror and put it in front of Yan Fei, "Yan Fei! Look at yourself!"

In the bronze mirror, Yan Fei faced his haggard face.

The eye sockets were sunken, the fundus of the eyes was black and blue, the puffy cheeks unique to teenagers were also sunken suddenly, and even the originally white and transparent skin was dull and sallow.

If Qi Jingsi saw himself like this, he would feel disgusted too, right?

He closed his eyes painfully.

"Brother—" Yan Yi's tone was almost pleading, "What kind of torture do you want to make yourself satisfied?"

Yan Fei bowed his head in pain, and slapped the bronze mirror off Yan Yi's hand.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Yan Yi was already kneeling in front of him across a small round table.

"Brother...that year when the autumn exams were released, both of us were anxious..."

Later, Yan Fei led Yan Yi to Yulin Academy with the thank-you ceremony prepared earlier.

In Master Zhu's study, they waited for the news of the announcement——

Yan Fei high school champion, Yan Yi is also on the list.

"Do you still remember, when you and I knelt in front of Master Zhu, what was the teacher's last instruction?"

Set up the heart for the heaven and the earth, set the destiny for the livelihood and the people, for the sacred and inherited knowledge, and for the peace of the world.

"Brother..." Yan Yi lowered his head, only showing his twitching shoulders and sobbing voice, "Have you really...forgot all about it?"

"I remember... I remember everything..." Yan Fei shook his head in pain, "I can do... I have already done it..."

"Qi Tongfu, I've already solved it for you—" He lowered his eyes and stared at Yan Fei, "What else do you think of me?"

"Brother..." Yan Yi raised his head and looked at Yan Fei in disbelief, "You know?"

Yan Fei nodded, "I know."

Qi Tongfu's evil deeds are too implicated, if everything is clarified one by one, I am afraid that the foundation of the entire imperial court will be shaken.

Once all the aristocratic families collapse one after another, the Lin family will become the dominant family.

Li Fan will always remember Emperor Shengming's last words that night, no one is allowed to sleep soundly beside the emperor's couch, not even his dearest loved ones.

In ancient times, many wise rulers in prosperous times have never eradicated factionalism, not because they couldn't, but because they didn't want to.

Just like Emperor Shengming Yingming I, he also wanted to sit and watch the two princes fight each other, and it would be beyond redemption——

The art of checks and balances has always been the heart of an emperor.

However, no matter how tortured Qi Tongfu was, he neither confessed nor asked for death, like a bomb buried in the court, which would blow up everyone to die for him at any time.

He has been begging to see Yan Fei, so Yan Yi dared to take the risk——

The trouble should end it.

Perhaps only Yan Fei could make him willing to die.

He thought that Yan Fei must have hated Qi Tongfu in his heart, wishing to lie on his skin and bite his bones, but he didn't want Yan Fei to see through him long ago.

"Qi Tongfu's crime is unforgivable, the law of heaven cannot tolerate him, he deserves to die, I don't mind helping you get rid of him silently—" Yan Fei stretched out his hand to help Yan Yi up, "But what did Jingsi do wrong?"

"The crime of being implicated has never been justified. His fault is Qi Tongfu's son—" Yan Yi said angrily, "The fault is that he shouldn't hinder your bright future!"

"What is a bright future?" Yan Fei frowned deeply, with disdain in his eyes, "Glorious ancestors have a bright future, and the generals will pay homage to the prime minister, and they will rise to the top?"

"Because of your so-called 'great future', Qi Tongfu got involved in Mr. Guangji's life, and also ruined his own life!"

"Yan Yi—" He looked closely at Yan Yi, "Who is not sober?"

"The Fourth Highness is Emperor Shengzhao, and what he says is the imperial decree." Yan Yi and Yan Fei looked at each other without giving in, "He, Qi Jingsi, not only endangers your future, but also implicates you in resisting the decree—"

"That's the crime of losing your head!"

"Brother, it's been so long, I really didn't expect you to be so obsessed." He didn't hide the disappointment and resentment in his eyes, "Now, no one even cares about Qi Tongfu's life and death, do you think—— "

"Don't I dare to let Qi Jingsi also quietly disappear in the prison of Dali Temple Prison?"

"Hahaha——" Facing the threat of being naked/naked/naked, Yan Fei not only didn't get angry, but chuckled, "What a 'resisting order and not obeying'!"

"Don't worry, I, Yan Fei, will not implicate my parents, nor will I implicate your successful career, I will enter the palace tonight; but Yan Yi, please remember—"

"You can touch Qi Jingsi, his life or death, one day earlier, one day later, it doesn't make much difference to me."

"If there is no Qi Jingsi in this world, Yan Fei will die." Although the corner of his mouth was smiling, but his eyes were dark, "You can try it."

*****

If there is one place in this world where the sun never shines, it is the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple Prison.

It has been like a day for decades since it was built, dark, humid, cramped, and deep.

Yan Yi walked to the door of an inconspicuous cell and stopped. The jailer behind him immediately moved forward to open the iron door, but inside the iron fence, there was deathly silence.

He raised his hand and waved away the jailer beside him, and then said in a low voice, "Mr. Qi please be safe."

"It's Yan Yi?" The voice in the cell was slightly hoarse, but it didn't completely overshadow the clear voice of the young man, full of disappointment.

"It's me." Yan Yi nodded slightly, "My brother can't come, I let young master Qi down."

"It's not a good place. If you don't come, then don't come." Qi Jingsi put away her disappointment and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's fine for him to stay outside."

"But he's not good." Yan Yi said in a deep voice, "He almost resisted the decree because of you today."

"With your persuasion, I can always hold back. I'm not worried." Qi Jingsi smiled in the dark, "It's just that your brother has a stubborn temper, so you can talk to him carefully."

"He's already started a hunger strike." Yan Yi's voice was emotionless, "Aren't you worried?"

"What did you say?" There was finally the sound of iron chains clinking in the cell.

Repeat offenders were all handcuffed and fettered. Qi Tongfu was exonerated before, and Qi Jingsi didn't suffer much under Yan Yi's care. He was just locked up, and naturally his hands and feet were bound.

"If he doesn't eat, why don't you find someone to pour him down!" He nervously grabbed the iron fence in front of him, as if he wanted to break the thick iron there, "He's so thin, you can find two people at random Are you afraid you won't be able to hold him down!"

"Should I hold him for the rest of my life?" Yan Yi asked coldly, "Qi Tongfu is dead, you know that?"

"He begged to die because he lost his thoughts, and my brother—"

"Only by thinking about it can you live."

"Master Qi, I beg you—" Yan Yi squatted against the iron fence, and took out a small box from his arms, "Please help my brother."

Qi Jingsi took the box and opened it, and by the faint firelight behind Yan Yi, she saw a small pill.
