Chapter 368: Qi Yuan's decision
"Do you think I'm the kind of woman who fights for fame and fortune?" Yin Qingqi chuckled helplessly, laughing at Qi Yuan's ignorance.
She often thinks that if she stays in the Jinghong Pavilion for the rest of her life, being Siniang's subordinate, and taking care of some Yingying Yanyan, maybe it will be much better than returning to the palace.
But for some reason, when Qi Yuan mentioned getting married again, Yin Qingqi did not refuse, but silently accepted his fate, as if he should have been like this in his life, standing inside and outside the imperial city from the beginning, being a woman by Qi Yuan's side, instead of living in the world mediocrely.
Originally, she thought that by solving the mystery of Xue Wen'er's life experience, she would be able to become a person again, choose a path she liked, leave the capital from then on, go to another country, find a place that no one can find, and live again.
She couldn't tell whether it was Xue Tan who rekindled her life, or whether she appeared in front of her eyes again, the indifferent, invincible prince, and the noble man gave her the courage to make a choice again.
"If you were that kind of person, Xi Yue wouldn't have succeeded." Qi Yuan smiled bitterly, although the matter of the year was settled and Yin Qingqi's name was re-justified, Qi Yuan never passed the hurdle in his heart.
"Qingqi, what happened back then, it was my fault, I never believed in you completely and unconditionally." Qi Yuan stared at Yin Qingqi, with pity and guilt in his eyes.
"Now what about the past." Yin Qingqi forced a smile on his face, knowing in his heart that no matter how much the sixth elder brother fought, the future throne must be Qi Yuan's, and the reason why the emperor did so was that he actually had his own thoughts and bitterness.
"You think, you want to be ...... Queen? Qi Yuan's eyes were full of hope, he was eroded by a sense of insecurity all the time, that strong uneasiness not only came from his own lack of confidence, but more importantly, it was the erratia brought by Yin Qingqi.
"Queen? Let's wait until you are restored to the crown prince. Yin Qingqi joked with Qi Yuan, his eyes wandered, and he was avoiding Qi Yuan's eyes all the time.
"I will become the emperor, although the sixth child is decisive, but a court does not need a person without feelings." Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly, why didn't Huang Ama understand? What he did for Yin Qingqi is a catharsis of emotions and a serious responsibility for a person.
"Giving up a small family for everyone, perhaps, is what the emperor wants." Yin Qingqi said in one word.
"Qi Yuan, you probably should have given up on me a long time ago to chase your throne, you are doing this now, you are following the old path of the Seventh Elder Brother
。 ”
"I'd rather live a dashing life like the seventh brother than live like I do now." Qi Yuan felt like Huang Ama's puppet, in name only, just like the relationship between the two.
"At least, he still has Cuizhu by his side at all times." Qi Yuan had something to say, describing his suffering.
Because the shopkeeper Han was blamed by the government, he was very angry in his heart, and his dream of being promoted to become rich was shattered, and he might not even be able to save his own life, so how could he not retaliate?
This decision is also to prevent the scourge of Chang Lei from being unable to find the Huo family, if he makes a fuss in this Qamdo and spreads the news, not to mention that the road to his career is difficult, he may not even be able to save his life, rather than being retaliated against, it is better to strike first.
Thinking like this, he arranged for his subordinates to sneak into the pear orchard early.
As for the poisoned wine, it was naturally an accident.
Originally, the shopkeeper Han thought that he secretly sent someone to poison and kill his recent good friend Chen Mo, who Cheng thought, just in time for Chen Mo to kill the red warbler, and was seen thoroughly by the shopkeeper Han's subordinates, and when the next person came back to tell him, the shopkeeper Han smiled happily, it seems that this matter is simpler than he imagined.
But in this way, it is more convenient, the old bustard, never dare to make trouble in secret, expose themselves, with the two of them, they must have been frightened, and the next person who knew about it that day had already been arranged to send him out of the city, and he could not step into Qamdo again in his life.
It's seamless!
But he didn't know that General Xue Tan had been secretly monitoring Chang Lei from the side.
And all this has been in sight.
What Xue Tan didn't expect was that a dignified Han shopkeeper and a scholar would do such a thing, and what he didn't expect was that for the sake of his official position and reputation, he would not hesitate to kill people to blame others.
That day, he changed his outfit, and when he was secretly staring at Chang Lei in the pear garden, he saw the sneaky Han family hiding aside, and he had also visited the Han Mansion many times outside, so he still had some impressions of this Han shopkeeper's cronies.
He was suspicious, so he expected that something big would happen in the next few days, so he kept watch in the pear orchard to see what would happen.
However, what he didn't expect the most was the tragedy, he didn't expect that people's hearts could be so vicious.
When Qi Yuan and the sixth master were discussing how to win over several other kings at home, the family that the crown prince Qi Yuan bought in Qamdo came to deliver the letter.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Jia Ding's face was a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter, so flustered?" Qi Yuan was displeased and scolded angrily.
"Chang...... Chang Lei, that day he went to the pear orchard in Qamdo to drink and have fun, and the result was ......"
"What was the result? If he wants to be happy, let him go, as long as he doesn't do anything too out of the ordinary, and we don't let him ruin our plans. Qi Yuan said disappreciatively.
"That's what the villain wants to say. Since he left the pear orchard that day, the red warbler in the pear orchard has died! ”
"When people die, they die, what is the matter with Guan Changlei?" Qi Yuan looked puzzled.
"But that day, the red warbler and Chen Mo have been in Chang Lei's house and never went out, but Chen Mo went out once halfway, and came back when the banquet was about to end, the two didn't know what happened, not long after the banquet dispersed, the red warbler was poisoned and died."
"When he examined the body, he was killed by a poison called "Half Soul Scattering", which was as short as an hour or as long as a day, and the medicine melted into the blood, and he would surely die. ”
Qi Yuan only felt a "buzz" in his brain, this has just finished dealing with a lawsuit in Shuzhou, and another thing can come to the door, this Chang Lei, I really don't know if it is the reincarnation of a disaster star or what.
"Quick! Hurry up and send someone to keep an eye on Chang Lei, never leave an inch, and tell him not to go out, and don't tell him what happened first. Seeing that Qi Yuan was out of proportion for a while, the sixth master hurriedly ordered.
"In addition, send more people to the house of the shopkeeper of Na Han, and stick to it day and night, it must be a good thing he has done."
"Sixth Master......" Qi Yuan's face was solemn, looking at the Sixth Master, "I'm afraid we are too light on the enemy." ”
"We only thought that we could use the identity of the shopkeeper Han to help us find Lin Chuntang, but we didn't think that this shopkeeper Han was so bad that he did such a thing, and even did not hesitate to use his life to splash dirty water on Chang Lei.
The best plan now, that Chang Lei, must be hopeless to go to any official and half-post, I am afraid that there will be a prison sentence, there is no way to verify this matter, I can't argue, Chang Lei This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get through this difficulty. ”
"Well, in this way, we can only rely on ourselves and directly find the whereabouts of the Huo family."
"The method of disintegration from the inside can no longer be used, what we have to do now is to clear up the relationship with Chang Lei as soon as possible, then since the shopkeeper Han is so resentful, we might as well help him, since Chang Lei has been splashed with dirty water, we can only abandon him."
"It's a pity......"
