Zhou Lixuan's voice was very calm, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with himself: "My mother and my father were originally a marriage contract made by the parents of both parties. They are well-matched and admired by outsiders."
"But they don't know that before my mother married my father, she had already made a private decision with another man for life. Although the man was of ordinary background, he won my mother's heart and promised to take her away. Who wants to get close During the wedding, he actually disappeared without a trace."
"My father knew that my mother had always had a knot in her heart, so he didn't touch her for a long time after they got married, including the wedding day."
"But during that time, my mother was diagnosed as pregnant by the doctor."
"My father doesn't say anything. For so many years, he has treated me like his own son."
The wine jar in Zhou Lixuan's hand was slowly loosened and rolled to the side. He propped his forehead with one hand, and couldn't see his expression clearly: "When I was kneeling in front of my father's coffin, my mother told me that she owed her all her life. It hurt my dad too much."
"So you said, my mother and I owe him, and I can pay it back, of course I will. My father is gone, so I will pay it back to his own son."
Tang Ze endured it for a long time before he didn't let his expression look too surprised.
When he was in the northwest in the past, in his opinion, King Qingxiang treated Zhou Lixuan just like Tang Guogong treated him. Although he often taught them with an attitude of not being able to fight, he was sincerely doing their best. It was just his strict father's thoughts. .
It turned out that King Qingxiang was not Zhou Lixuan's biological father.
But being an adoptive father to do this is definitely many times better than that biological father who ran away.
Zhou Lixuan must have thought so too.
"Pretend I haven't said anything about today's incident, and you haven't heard of it either." Zhou Lixuan smiled suddenly, "When I go back and get a good night's sleep, when I wake up tomorrow, I, Zhou Lixuan, will still be a heartless bastard. .”
"Okay." Tang Ze patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, I will accompany you heartlessly for a while!"
In the next few months, Zhou Lixuan took a leave of absence from the Ministry of Rites and never went to the palace again.King Qingxiang died of old wounds on the battlefield, and because he was a hostage in the capital, he never even saw King Qingxiang's last face. It is impossible to say that he has no resentment and dissatisfaction with the aloof King Ningguo.
Yin Mu was also sensible and never looked for him again.
Zhou Lixuan's life is still leisurely and carefree, but he often complains that his good brother puts too much emphasis on sex and despises friends, leaving him to be with his sweetheart.
Tang Ze expressed that he was wronged: They are good brothers, but they can't live a lifetime with good brothers in their arms.
So Zhou Shizi could only drank his sorrows in the Zuiyue Tower in grief and indignation.
As winter went to spring and the weather began to warm up, Emperor Xuanwen in the palace unfortunately contracted a "slight illness" and did not go to court for many days.
The atmosphere among the courtiers began to undergo some subtle changes, and the lines between parties began to become clear.
At the beginning of April in the 11th year of Emperor Xuanwen, the emperor died.
The edict, however, failed to come and be established.
The situation in the court of Ningguo became somewhat chaotic for a while. The third prince, Yin Qi, had the most cliques in Beijing and the most powerful influence. In a few days, he had already gained control over half of the imperial palace and central Beijing.
The second prince, Yin Sheng, had to leave the capital for some business, but he hadn't had time to come back.
The remaining places in Beijing that were not under the control of Yin Qi were occupied by elite soldiers under Tang Guogong.
Tang Ze clearly told Tang Yu that if Yin Qi ascended the throne as emperor, he would surely die, and even the entire Tang family might be implicated.
There is no doubt that although Tang Guogong Tang Yu is loyal and patriotic, since Yin Qi does not have a clear will, he naturally chooses to help his son.
The mansion where Qin Weiye lived has been protected by soldiers of the Tang family. Originally, Tang Ze wanted Qin Weiye to go to Tang Guogong's mansion to take refuge temporarily, but Qin Weiye was unwilling, and he couldn't force him.
At this pass, Qin Mushan sent someone to deliver a letter to Qin Weiye.
There was not a word about the situation in that letter, only one person was mentioned by name.
Qin Weiye's biological mother, Qin Yang's.
When Tang Ze found out, Qin Weiye had already returned to the Qin Mansion.
But when he led his troops to the Qin residence, Qin Weiye had disappeared.
Tang Ze was so anxious that he grabbed Qin Mushan's collar angrily and asked him where Qin Weiye was going.
Qin Mushan didn't answer, as if he hadn't recovered yet, but there was still some shock and doubt in his eyes.
After a long time, Qin Mushan finally revealed the name of the person who took Qin Weiye away.
Yin Qi.
After the death of Emperor Xuanwen, Qin Mushan, as the right chancellor, has never made it clear which prince he supports.But in fact, he has secretly attached himself to Yin Qi who is most likely to win the throne.
Yin Qi came to him and told Qin Mushan that he liked Qin Weiye's talent, and asked him to trick Qin Weiye here alone, so that he could persuade his son to stand on their side.
After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Mushan followed suit, but he didn't expect Yin Qi to forcibly kidnap him.
Tang Ze slammed his fist hard on the wall, leaving blood marks on his hand.Right now, I don't even know where Qin Weiye is, half of the capital city includes the entire palace, how easy is it to find someone in Yin Qi's territory? !
That night, a figure sneaked into the palace.
That man was obviously very skilled, and he touched most of the outer palace without being noticed by any guards.
He stayed outside the Taihe Palace for a while, then headed towards the inner court.
However, before taking a few steps, he suddenly touched an imperceptible silk rope between the roofs of the palace.
The bell on the rope rang in an instant.
The number of guards, which was originally considered normal, suddenly nearly doubled.
This is a trap, the outer palace is not well guarded, but it invites the emperor to enter the urn, and waits for him to go deep into the inner court before completely blocking his retreat.
The man hesitated for a moment, then chose a direction to escape.
However, there were more and more guards around him, blocking his way out and forming an encirclement circle.
The figure of that person flashed and hid somewhere in the encirclement.
Seeing that the encirclement gradually narrowed to between several palaces, it was only a matter of time before the intruders were found.However, under heavy defense and rigorous search by the guards, they were unable to find the intruder in those palaces.
The commander of the Imperial Forest Army, who had been ordered by Yin Qi to wait for the rabbit, couldn't help but be puzzled.
Zhou Lixuan looked at Yin Mu in disbelief.
He was desperate just now, he thought he was going to die, he only planned to delay for a while, but he was caught by another person and escaped from the inner court through a secret path.
That person is Yin Mu.
"You know martial arts?" He didn't realize it before.
Yin Mu didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "What did you sneak into the palace for?"
"……Find someone."
Yin Mu squinted at him: "Who?"
"Qin Weiye, the son of Qin Youxiang."
"Qin Weiye?" Yin Mu repeated, thinking of the current confrontation between Tang Guogong and Yin Qi, as well as the relationship between Tang Ze and Qin Weiye according to the rumors between the court and the public, he seemed to understand, "He is in the hands of my emperor brother ? But why are you looking for it?"
"Tang Ze is my brother, so his affairs are naturally my affairs." Zhou Lixuan patted his chest.
Yin Mu frowned, seeming to disdain Zhou Lixuan's arrogance: "What about him himself?" "
"We acted separately. He went to Prince Qi's Mansion. The defense there is now tighter than that of the Imperial Palace. The possibility of people being there should be higher." Zhou Lixuan replied, and then asked Yin Mu, "Now you answer my question. problem."
Yin Mu was silent for a moment, then said: "Do you know the background of my mother and concubine?"
Zhou Lixuan was taken aback for a moment and thought about it.
When Concubine Shu entered the palace for the first time, she was just a young picker girl. The reason why her rank was very low was because her family background was really ordinary.Later, because of the favor of Emperor Xuanwen, she was promoted step by step to the position of Concubine Shu.
"So what?" Zhou Lixuan hadn't figured out the trick yet.
"At the beginning, my father insisted on making me the crown prince, but in fact, even if I became the crown prince, I would definitely not be able to become the emperor."
Zhou Lixuan seemed to understand a little bit.
A big tree invites the wind, not to mention an unstable foundation.
So Yin Mu is actually hiding his strength to avoid disaster?
He really underestimated the prince.
But right now, I can't care about this issue anymore. The place where they are staying now is Yin Mu's palace outside the palace. When Yin Qi's people search here, he can't run away either.
Yin Mu said calmly, "It's okay. I have already told Brother Huang that he is going on a long trip to the south of the Yangtze River. We will start tomorrow. You can stay in the carriage so that no one will be suspicious."
"The third prince will let you go?" Zhou Lixuan asked him.
Yin Mu crossed his arms and smiled triumphantly: "Since I am a useless prince who doesn't think about making progress and is obsessed with poetry, song and painting, and I have no power in my hands, and I have no threat to him, why doesn't he let me go?"
"I owe you my life." Zhou Lixuan said after a moment of silence.
"No need." Yin Mu didn't seem to care, and said, "My father is also a little sorry for you and King Qingxiang. After this time, just write it off."
That night, Tang Ze also had nothing to gain in the Qi Palace. On the contrary, he was injured by the poisonous mechanism in the mansion, and almost lost an arm.
Tang Ze regretted it unceasingly, he should not have left Qin Weiye half a step back then, otherwise he would not have ended up in the current situation.
On the outskirts of the city, Huguo Temple.
An unremarkable meditation room on the north side of the back of the temple has been firmly guarded since yesterday.
When a person walked here, the guard respectfully opened the locked door for him.
Yin Qi smiled arrogantly, strode into the room, and looked at the people sitting quietly in the room with a bit of satisfaction in his expression.
The person is already in his hands, and it's hard to escape even with wings. During this period of time, people from Tang Guogong's mansion can't find it here. He has enough time to teach this ignorant bitch in front of him a good lesson.
The author has something to say: Some readers’ comments and my replies can’t be seen on the catalog page, but they can still be seen under the individual chapters, so let’s talk about them here.
