Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 138 Crying
After listening to Zhu Yu's report, Qi Ze was still in shock and felt chills all over his body. It was like this back then.She knew the truth of this secret was unbearable, but she didn't expect it to be so unbearable.

For a moment Qi Ze couldn't speak, his mind went blank and he even forgot to breathe.

"Master..." Zhu Yu said in a worried voice.

After being confused for a while, Qi Ze came back to his senses, "It's okay, did you find the soldier talisman?"

"No." Zhu Yu shook his head and said, "Our people have been looking for it, but they haven't found it, and there is no usable news."

"Daddy is very smart. It's normal for us to find his hiding place for a while. Let our people continue to search for the people who were alive back then. Maybe they will know some useful news." Qi Ze's tone was very calm.

"Yes." Seeing that Qi Ze's expression was normal, Zhu Yu replied with confidence.

Qi Ze lowered his eyes, making people wonder what he was thinking, and stood up after a while, "Zhu Yu, let Zhan Shi stop bringing me lunch later, I'll go for a walk."

"master."

Just as Qi Ze was about to leave the room, he heard Zhu Yu's anxious voice.

"What's wrong?" Qi Ze turned around.

Zhu Yu handed the oil-paper umbrella to Qi Ze, "Take the umbrella, it's raining outside."

Qi Ze was a little dazed, is it raining outside?

Looking out of the window, the rain was pattering, the weather was foggy and smoky, and the raindrops fell on the window and made a "crackling" sound.

It is indeed raining.

"Okay." Qi Ze took the umbrella, turned and left.

Qi Ze slowly walked out of Fusheng Pavilion and Qi Mansion.The rainwater stayed along the edge of the umbrella, like broken beads, gradually connecting into a line.Isolate people from the world and protect them under umbrellas.

But at the same time, it also makes people unable to see the road ahead, the autumn wind is rustling, with a hint of chill, making people slightly cold.

Qi Ze looked ahead, the whole world seemed to be soaked, the eaves, the ground, and the walls were all stained with traces of rain.It seems that the world has been fused together, and it seems that they have always been separated.

I don't know when I left, but I have never seen the scenery in front of me.All I know is that this is an alley, the alley is winding, deep and narrow, the bluestone road has been washed clean by the rain, the wind is blowing unhurriedly, there are only gray, white and black colors in front of me, it seems to be forgotten.

It seems that her life is this color, and she seems to be forgotten.

The people in the alley walked aimlessly with umbrellas, as if they wanted to reach the end of the alley.But the end is so far away that you can't even see it.There seemed to be only the ticking of the rain and the whistling of the wind in my ears, and there was no other sound.

"Meow-"

At this time, a cat's voice sounded, it seemed that because of the rain, the fur on its body was already wet, and it was still dripping water on the ground.

The cat curled up in the cold, and stayed quietly under the eaves. It seemed to be just a passerby in the long alley, a passerby that would disappear soon.

But Qi Ze knew that this cat was not just passing by, because the voices of several kittens came from under the cat.This cat is a mother and has lived here for a long time.

Because of the cold wind and icy rain, the kittens huddled in their mother's arms.The mother tried her best to curl up to protect her child, but she was still shivering from the wind, and the rainwater blowing obliquely hit her already drenched body.

Qi Ze lowered his head and chuckled, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, these cats were also abandoned.

The woman walked slowly to the eaves, bent down and covered the cat with the umbrella in her hand, looked at it for a while, and then continued to walk forward.

The rain was colder than she had imagined, but it couldn't compare to the coldness in her heart.

Zhu Yu's words seemed to be in his ears.

"Master, after investigation. When the master was three years old, the Holy Majesty called the general into the palace and gave the general the soldier talisman. It was the last battle between Nanchu and Beishuo. The general was sure of victory, but because of the military defense With the leak of the map, the Southern Chu army retreated steadily, and the entire army was wiped out. The general refused to surrender, and as a prisoner, he committed suicide and died on the border of Southern Chu. And this military defense map was leaked by the Qi family."

"The night before the military map was leaked, the Elder was summoned into the palace and took away the military map. This whole thing was ordered secretly by the Holy One. But after the general died, the military talisman disappeared. Fei, the Qi family had no choice but to make a fake one and hand it over to the Holy One."

"And Madam didn't die of illness, she committed suicide by drinking poison. After Madam died, the Qi family sent people to search for the military talisman in the room, but they couldn't find it. Because of the general's glory and meritorious service, he was finally buried according to the ceremony of Yipin Gaoming Madam."

After Zhu Yu finished speaking, Qi Ze guessed everything behind it.

When his father was alive, the Qi family was prosperous for a while, so Emperor Zhaozheng probably feared him a long time ago.Great achievements, this is something that every emperor does not want to see.That's why Emperor Zhaozheng leaked the military defense map, and even if the military defense map was leaked, he would suppress the Qi family.

The reason why it was handed over to Qi Wen was because the Qi family already knew that their achievements were too high, and Emperor Zhaozheng had already cared about them.So in order to keep the Qi family, they pushed their father out.

Because it was the father who brought the Qi family glory, as long as the father is dead and the threat is gone, the Qi family will naturally keep it.

And my father already knew what the Qi family was doing behind the scenes, and knew that the military defense map would be leaked, so this war would definitely lead to death.But my father still went, and died on the battlefield with the glory of being a general.

That's why my father hid the soldier talisman. He knew that if he died, she and her mother would not be able to live.Mother knows everything behind this, and the Qi family will not leave the root cause of this incident.But because the soldier talisman disappeared, the Qi family and Emperor Zhaozheng urgently needed to find it. If the father died, only the mother and her had clues, so the third room could survive to this day.

She knew that it must be difficult behind this, but she did not expect it to be so unbearable.So what is the current Qi family, her father-killer and enemy?She has lived under the hands of her father and enemy since she was a child, watching them enjoy the glory brought by her father, and then personally kill the provider of this glory.

He killed his own family members just to keep his ridiculous status and Emperor Zhaozheng's trust.

They felt at ease, and they also watched her being bullied since she was a child but never helping her.Because her value is only to find the real soldier talisman, even if she dies, that cold heart will not feel guilty about it.

Being killed by his own family members, how chilling my father would be at that time, and at the same time hoping that the military defense map will not be leaked, this will not happen, but it still happened.

The father committed suicide at that time, not because of the defeat of the army, but more probably because of his disappointment with the Qi family and the despair in his heart.The monarch he protected all his life wanted to kill him, but his family, who should have blood thicker than water, were the perpetrators of this murder. How could this not be chilling.

But why did her mother commit suicide? She would rather that her mother died of illness than that the Qi family brought the bowl of poison, but the fact is that her mother committed suicide by taking the poison herself.

Mother only thought that her father was dead, and she had to go with her.She never thought about what she would do if she died.

She was only three years old at the time, how could she survive in the Qi family as a three-year-old child, and how could she hide her identity as a woman from being discovered.She is the only one in the third room, what should she do?
Mother never thought about it, never.

The rain in the air continued to fall, splashing on the ground and splashing on the people's clothes at the same time.The man's clothes were instantly soaked, and the indigo blue brocade also turned black, and the black hair was scattered and completely soaked, clinging to the woman's delicate cheeks.The color of the hair and the clothes is similar, but it is not clear for a while.

The chilly wind blew by, making people shiver, and their shoulders shook violently.The tall and straight figure is also slightly bent at this moment, with both hands clenched, and the head bowed deeply.

He didn't notice that the man in the dark crimson brocade robe behind him approached slowly with an umbrella to cover the raindrops outside, and took off his black cloak to cover the woman.

"Qi Ze, what are you doing here alone?" The man's usually lazy and magnetic voice also added a hint of depth at this time.

While speaking, the man grabbed the woman's wrist, forcing the woman to turn around and look at him.

Qi Ze felt a burst of warmth enveloping her, followed the strength on his wrist and turned around, looking at that gorgeous and coquettish face.

The woman didn't say anything, just broke free from the man's hand with her wrist, and raised her foot to move forward.But the man pulled his wrist again and pulled him back.

"It's raining outside, what are you doing outside?"

The woman just looked at the man quietly without speaking.The water droplets on the face dripped on the back of the man's hand.

Que Yu was a little surprised, because the water droplets on the back of his hand were warm, not as cold as rainwater.Looking carefully at the woman in front of her, her face was calm, her eyes were still as cold and indifferent as before, her face was covered with rain, but she felt something different.

After a while, Que Yu bent slightly, put his face closer and smiled lightly, "You are really quiet, you don't even cry."

Qi Ze was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously touched his face with his hands, and when he touched the warm water droplets, his hands stopped involuntarily.

It turned out that she was crying, no wonder the front of her eyes was blurry, she couldn't see anything, she thought it was raining heavily again.

"Little girl, cry if you want, there is no one else here."

Que Yu's voice came with a trace of comfort.

Qi Ze couldn't help chuckling in his heart, she's not a little girl, how could she cry so easily.Besides, there is no one who persuades others to cry, Que Yu really doesn't know how to coax others.

But the grievance in his heart surged up in an instant, and warm tears burst out of his eyes involuntarily, regardless of who was in front of him.Qi Ze threw himself into Que Yu's arms, hugged the warm embrace in front of him tightly with both hands, buried his head in the man's chest, and finally cried out.

Que Yu was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, stretched out his hands to hug the woman in front of him, and put his arms lightly on the woman's back.Only then did Que Yu realize that Qi Ze was actually quite thin.Just because her stature is no different from that of an ordinary man, and her outstanding temperament and fierce style make people ignore her thinner figure.

Forget it, let her cry as much as she wants.

After an unknown amount of time, the crying of the woman in her arms finally subsided, and she continued to sob non-stop.His head also left the man's chest, and he put it aside, wiping his tears with his hands.

Que Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the water stains on his chest, then bent down to look at the woman in front of him, and said frivolously, "Stop crying?"

Qi Ze: "..."

This man is still so annoying, but after crying, I feel much better.

Seeing that Qi Ze finally stopped crying, Que Yu leaned his face closer and said softly, "If you cry again, these beautiful eyes will be swollen from crying. Others will think that I have bullied you when they see it."

There was a bit of tenderness in the man's voice, although it was still harsh and frivolous, the warmth in it could not be ignored.

The woman raised her head slightly to look at the man. The man was holding an umbrella in one hand, and the other arm was still on the woman's back, and all the black hair of the woman fell down.From a distance, the two cuddled tightly, like a pair of lovers looking at each other affectionately.

At this time, Que Yu felt that the rain around him had stopped, and the golden sunlight was shining on the ground, so he turned his head to look at the sun in the sky.

"The sun is out."

Under the shining of the golden sunlight, the man's exquisite facial features were faintly glowing with warm light, and the gorgeous peach blossom eyes were very beautiful.

Qi Ze was stunned for a while watching this scene, the sun is really warm.

Que Yu turned his head to look at Qi Ze, and saw that the cloak was not tied, so he handed the umbrella to Qi Ze.

"Take it."

After Qi Ze accepted it obediently, Que Yu stretched out his hands to tie the belt, and was a little taken aback when he saw a piece of black jade with the size of a palm on Qi Ze's chest.His hands also paused, and then continued to tie the belt.

Facing Que Yu's slightly intimate gesture, Qi Ze felt a little uncomfortable, and unconsciously took a step back, but was pulled back to his original position by the man.

"Move what? Do you want to go back soaked?"

Because of the rain, the clothes were already soaked, and the woman's soft waistline was faintly showing.And going back wet will damage the image of court officials.If people see this, they will definitely make a big fuss about it.

Que Yu glanced at Qi Ze's loose hair, "And your hair, fix it yourself."

After fastening the belt, Que Yu breathed calmly, and then said, "Since you know the ultimate truth of the matter, what you do is up to you."

Qi Ze couldn't help lowering his eyes, she couldn't accept the truth of what to do.How could she accept her father's death because of the Qi family.Now that she knew the truth, all she could do now was destroy it.She can't let go of the Qi family.

Looking at Qi Ze's firm eyes, Que Yu knew that she was ready.

Now that something has happened, it is impossible to change it, all you can do is face it.Anyway, Qi Ze and the Qi family have never been at odds, this is an acceptable path for her, and it is also a path that must be faced.

Que Yu chuckled, didn't want the umbrella, turned around and left.

Qi Ze watched Que Yu's leaving back, and closed the umbrella in his hand after a while.I tidied up my hair, wiped away the tears on my face, returned to my original calm appearance, and went back the way I came.

Already sad, the road must continue to move forward.
