The Queen's Secret

"What if the one I like is a woman?"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Mingyi only felt that there was something wrong with his ears. He calmed down and asked, "What did you say?"

"What if the one I like is a woman?"

Qi Yuxin repeated it word for word, and Tao Mingyi frowned to confirm that he had heard correctly. When Qi Yuxin said it right, his heart skipped a beat, and he fell silent instantly.

"Women and women...how can they be together?"

Tao Mingyi still couldn't accept the fact that Qi Yu really liked a woman, but he couldn't bear children, so wouldn't the blood of the Qi family...

"Why can't we be together?"

Qi Yuxin had read a lot of the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles since she was a child, but when she really realized what it was like to like someone, she couldn't figure out why people in love couldn't be together. They were not mother and daughter, sisters, or blood relatives. Man, why not?

"Since ancient times, yin and yang have intersected, and men and women have married, how could it be possible..."

After Tao Mingyi spoke, his voice gradually became weaker, while Qi Yu was listening intently, with a peaceful state of mind.

"Does the adoptive father mind that women and women have no offspring?"

"Yes."

Tao Mingyi did not deny that this was one of his considerations.

"But adoptive father, if two infertile men and women fall in love, can't they be together?"

Qi Yu was puzzled, why he wanted to break off the relationship between the two without an offspring.

Tao Mingyi was silent, and Qi Yuxin confused him with this question...

Qi Yuxin was lucky, at least Tao Mingyi was not an unreasonable person, at least Tao Mingyi could calmly sit down with her to discuss this matter, instead of directly refusing to negotiate.

"Father, I just like her. I didn't violate the laws of the Southern Kingdom, and I didn't kill people and set fire to her. Please help her."

Qi Yu knew that Tao Mingyi was seriously thinking about it. After listening to Qi Yuxin's words, Tao Mingyi remained silent, and finally heaved a big sigh, as if to relieve the depression in his heart.

"Who is that person? Will her parents agree?"

Tao Mingyi asked, Qi Yu just smiled lightly, and said: "This...the time has not come yet, when the time comes, I will tell foster father."

Although Tao Mingyi was a little eager to know who that person was, whether he was a good character, and whether he was deceiving Qi Yuxin, but since Qi Yuxin had his own considerations, it was inconvenient for him to ask any more questions at this moment.

"it is good."

Tao Mingyi drank the hangover soup in the bowl, stood up, and said, "Yu Xin, I hope you don't regret it."

"No regrets."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Tao Mingyi lowered his eyes and sighed, then turned and left...

It wasn't until Tao Mingyi could no longer be seen that Qi Yuxin slowly uttered a word...

"Thank you, foster father."

In the Southern Kingdom, at the end of spring, the Eighth Emperor Tang Zongyan was arrested, and it was his long-time capable aide, Jian Zhong, who leaked his whereabouts.

The Eighth Emperor was escorted back to Beijing, and arrived in Kyoto at the beginning of summer, where he was thrown into prison.

All Tang Zongyan's property was confiscated by the court, and it was Tao Mingyi and Huang Yu who personally handled the matter.

Yuzhou City was in a state of turmoil all of a sudden, many properties of the Eight Emperor Gods were closed, and some were bought by other merchants, and the business of people in Yuzhou City came to a standstill.

Tang Qi quickly sent officials to manage Yuzhou City, and the business of Yuzhou City recovered a little.

"Eight Emperor Uncle."

Looking at Tang Zongyan kneeling on the steps, Tang Qi sat upright, his expression not angry but majestic, he really didn't look like a young emperor. Under Zhao Muyan's teaching, he already had the demeanor that an emperor should have.

Tang Zongyan just sneered and didn't respond. Tang Qi didn't mind either. He looked at Zhao Muyan who was beside him, and saw Zhao Muyan nodded. Tang Qi continued: "I've been the Emperor Xiaoyao for so many years, the feeling of being in prison is very pleasant. ?”

Tang Zongyan raised his head at this moment, and said with a smile: "Little emperor, please feel free to kill or cut, and don't need to pretend anymore."

Although Tang Zongyan was kneeling, his back was straight. He was a member of the royal family, and even though he was now a prisoner, he still had the backbone of the royal family.

"Brother Eight Emperors, my father told you not to get involved in the throne in the early years, but you just didn't listen."

Tang Yirou walked towards Tang Zongyan, looked at him condescendingly, and continued, "Isn't it good for Emperor Xiaoyao? Don't worry about the country and the people, and find a happy land..."

Tang Zongyan hasn't seen Tang Yirou for a long time. She is already so beautiful, with a bit of heroism between her brows, which is the sharpness honed on the battlefield.

"In life, how can we only seek happiness."

Tang Zongyan was always unwilling to be the king of that small town, he always wanted to be the emperor, so that this life could be fulfilled.

"Isn't life in this world to seek happiness?"

Zhao Muyan opened his mouth slowly, and Tang Zongyan looked at her. This woman is astonishingly beautiful, like a poppy or poppy, captivating, and once she saw it, she would never forget it.

He was jealous of Tang Yuan being able to get this woman, and at the same time hated this woman, hated this woman's strategizing, Tang Zongyan knew how much she helped Tang Yuan, even the current Emperor Qi relied on her support to make every step of the way. Steadily step on the court.

"This sentence doesn't seem very convincing when you say it out of your mouth, Demon Queen of the Southern Kingdom."

If it wasn't for ambition, how could she be willing to be named the Demon Queen? Tang Zongyan always thought that this woman was terrible, and also thought that if Tang Qi didn't get rid of this person, he would definitely be her puppet from now on.

"It's ridiculous."

Zhao Muyan didn't take the bait at all in Tang Zongyan's provocation, instead it turned into a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, making Tang Zongyan's fist hit the cotton heavily.

It's just that Tang Qi, who was on the side, couldn't hear such words. He naturally knew how much Zhao Muyan had paid for the royal family. Even though Zhao Muyan had a big fight with him, his respect and love for Zhao Muyan remained undiminished.

"presumptuous!"

Tang Qi patted the armrest of the dragon chair, glared at Tang Zongyan, and said, "The current queen mother is no longer something that a prisoner like you can talk about."

Tang Zongyan did not expect that Tang Qi would defend Zhao Muyan like this. He thought that at least some cracks would appear in their relationship. As an emperor, wouldn't he be afraid of the threat of Zhao Muyan?

"Come here, pull Tang Zongyan down, and choose a day to kill him!"

Tang Qi asked someone to pull him down, but Tang Zongyan's eyes remained on the dragon chair Tang Qi was sitting on, and finally closed his eyes.

"Why are you so angry, a dying person, let him say what he likes to say!"

Zhao Muyan didn't care about this at all, but Tang Qi couldn't just sit idly by. Zhao Muyan was not only her teacher, but also his sister in his mind, and even his queen mother in name. He couldn't bear this bit of slander.

"I do things that have nothing to do with you."

Even so, Tang Qi and Zhao Muyan had a big quarrel once, and Tang Qi's anger still persisted. Now that Tang Zongyan has been arrested, the day when Zhao Muyan will leave is getting closer. Tang Qi's thoughts are too complicated and he is in a bad mood.

Tang Qi waved his sleeves and left, while Zhao Muyan smiled and said, "Child."

Tang Qi paused, his eyes turned red, and then he walked away quickly...

Child... After you leave, no one will call me child anymore!

"What happened to you two?"

Tang Yirou saw that the two were at war. Tang Qi would never speak to Zhao Muyan like this. Although it seemed that there was a lot of childish anger, it shouldn't be...

"He knows."

"Ok?"

"He knows about me and Yuxin."

"you…!"

Tang Yirou was also a little surprised. She never thought that Zhao Muyan would confess to Tang Qi. Now it seems that Tang Qi has accepted this fact, but he is still angry...

"I'm relieved, Tang Yirou, how about you?"

Tang Yirou was silent...

In the southern country, in summer, Tang Zongyan was executed in the sky prison and removed from the royal family tree.

The court returned to calm, but everyone didn't know that there was an event that would shock Nanguo even more...

"Really...won't you stay?"

At this time Tang Qi was like a child, he quietly looked at Zhao Muyan who was tidying up, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth tightly to restrain the reluctance in his heart.

"Donkey..."

Zhao Muyan raised her head, and saw Tang Qi's figure in a bright yellow dragon robe, standing alone by the side, his immature face was full of stubbornness, she couldn't bear it, she stepped forward, and held Tang Qi Qipin took off the token on his waist.

"what are you doing?"

Zhao Muyan picked up the token in Tang Qi's hand and waved it in front of Tang Qi, saying, "I really can't see your pitiful appearance."

"I'm not pitiful."

After Tang Qi became the emperor, how did he learn to be stubborn?

"Give me this token. In the future, when I am free, I will come to the palace to see you. How about it?"

After listening to Tang Qi, he seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently. This was the first smile he had seen in many days.

"Agreed?"

"It's a word."

Zhao Muyan put Tang Qi's token in his arms, then turned around and continued to pack the things. At this time, Tang Qi seemed to have solved the details, walked towards Zhao Muyan, and said, "Sister Zhao..."

Sister Zhao...

Ever since Tang Qi had a quarrel with him, he hadn't called him that. Zhao Muyan suddenly felt a little nostalgic...

"Ok?"

"Qi Yuxin...what do you like about her?"

Tang Qi asked, Zhao Muyan stopped the movements of tidying up his hands, and turned his head to look at Tang Qi, as if he were a young man who hadn't found love. Even though he was seventeen, he didn't have a wife and concubine, so it's no wonder that he was all focused on politics. he doesn't understand...

"I like her bad and her good."

Zhao Muyan doesn't know how to answer this question accurately, but this answer is what she thinks is the most perfect answer.

"You like bad too?"

Tang Qi was puzzled, why can someone like someone who is bad?Is love really blind?

"Because she is the one who is good or bad. I love her, so naturally I like her."

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, Tang Qi seemed to understand, Zhao Muyan said with a smile: "Children...you will understand in the future, I hope you will understand..."

Speaking of the latter, Zhao Muyan's voice sank. How could a royal marriage be so pure, but she hoped that Tang Qi's future wife would be his favorite...

"Um…"

Tang Qi lowered his eyes, and said again: "If she treats you badly in the future, tell me, and I will help you out!"

Tang Qi couldn't see Zhao Muyan being hurt in the slightest, but when he mentioned this, Zhao Muyan smiled, as gorgeous as a blooming peony...

"I'm the Southern Demon Queen, who can bully me? She can't either."

I bullied her more or less...

"Okay, I should go."

Zhao Muyan said, then patted the token in his arms, and said, "I will never forget my promise to you."

"...Um…"

Tang Qi's expression was always a little lonely, Zhao Muyan couldn't bear to look any more, and passed by Tang Qi's side, when she walked to the door, she said: "Be a good emperor, don't disappoint my teachings."

"I know."

Zhao Muyan wanted to leave, but she didn't take Li'er away either. She asked Tang Qi to let Li'er out of the palace, and set her free in addition to slavery. Zhao Muyan left resolutely, alone, but...

Instead, she took away a lot of property, which is enough for her to spend the rest of her life...

In the Southern Kingdom, at the end of Xia, the auxiliary empress dowager, Zhao Muyan, passed away due to a sudden illness, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum...

The whole country mourns...
