Chapter 62 The Story of the Past

Twenty years ago, the first emperor had two sons.

The eldest son was born to the queen and was established as the prince from birth.

He lived up to the expectations of everyone. He grew up in Zhilan Yushu, who was gentle and elegant, liked poetry and books, and loved the people all over the world.

The second son was born to a drunken emperor and a palace girl, so he was not favored from birth.

Prince Renhou was always concerned about his own younger brother for fear that he would be bullied.

Anything good will be shared with him as soon as possible.

Slowly, the two princes grew up and became the emperor's right-hand man.

The Sima family's business grew bigger and bigger, which aroused the embarrassment of the first emperor.

The second prince offered advice overnight, but the first emperor was furious and locked him into the Buddhist hall, and no one was allowed to visit.

The eldest prince begged every night, almost kneeling and breaking his leg at the gate of the palace.

The first emperor called the eldest prince in, but he didn't know what to say.

After that, the eldest prince never mentioned anything about saving his younger brother.

The Sima family in the south of the Yangtze River held a happy event happily.

The eldest daughter, Sima Pingting, wants to marry her savior as her son-in-law.

The son-in-law's lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyebrows were fine and his eyes were fine, and he was talented in both literature and martial arts.

If his parents hadn't died, and he liked Sima Pingting, he probably wouldn't have been willing.

In the first year of marriage, the son-in-law started to take care of the family business.

On the way to buy goods in Kyoto, he somehow offended the officials and was detained in Kyoto.

Poor Sima Pingting just found out she was pregnant, so she didn't have time to tell the child's father about her joy.

Wealth can pass through the gods, and it took Sima Jia a year to finally save his son-in-law.

That day, the child Sima Pingting gave birth to with difficulty was one day short of a full moon.

That day, the Sima clan happily welcomed the son-in-law back.

That day, the entire Sima family got drunk and gave the son-in-law a token that could mobilize half of the family's property.

That day, Sima's family was ransacked by bandits, and the flames went up to the sky, and the whole family was wiped out.

In the ruins, there are only the remains of severed arms and the smell of blood.

That night, Sima's family was destroyed.

Three months after Sima's family was wiped out, the second prince who was in the Buddhist hall was released.

With inexplicably countless money in his hands, he wins over courtiers and forms cliques for personal gain.

Within a month, the gentle and jade-like elder prince died suddenly in his bedroom, and the whereabouts of the crown prince and concubine were unknown.

After the first emperor died of illness, the second prince succeeded to the throne and married the daughter of the Liu family in the south of the Yangtze River as a noble concubine.

The case of Sima's family was announced to the world as treason.

19 years so far.

Ma Lan sighed unceasingly, and the people who heard this story felt depressed.

"What does this have to do with your plot to assassinate yourself?"

Qin Zhi was not in a hurry, walked to the window, opened the cage and took out a painting from it.

In the painting is a woman, holding a folding fan and looking into the distance, her eyes are agile.

This woman looked familiar, and Ma Lan couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

Especially those eyes, she must have seen them somewhere.

"This is?"

"Sima Pingting."

Rumor has it that the emperor's delay in becoming a queen is because of her.

"She's still alive?"

Qin Zhi didn't answer yet, but only told Ma Lan that Sima Yu Nie escaped from the sea of ​​fire 20 years ago.

Relying on the property of the other half of the Sima family to become bigger and stronger, it became a nail that had to be pulled out in the eyes of the emperor.

In this world, there cannot be anyone richer than imperial power.

Water can carry a boat and capsize it. He was able to ascend to the throne of God with the money of the Sima family, but he was dragged down by the money of the Sima family.

He came here to find the other half of the token of the Sima family and bring back Sima's remnants.

Concubine Liu Gui's request was also very simple, to kill anyone who looked like the woman in the painting.

Regardless of men and women.

Speaking of the Sima family, Concubine Liu Gui's pretty face was distorted: "No one in the Sima family, male or female, can live!"

"What does the matter of the Sima family have to do with Concubine Liu Gui?"

Jiangnan...

Sima...

Liu family...

They are all local prominent families, how could they not know each other...

She knew who the woman in the painting looked like.

Ma Lan raised her head, her eyes filled with astonishment: "Concubine Liu Gui?"

Concubine Liu Gui is proud and conceited, how could she allow someone to resemble her.

The hornet's tail is the most poisonous woman's heart.

Qin Zhi also glanced at the woman's face on the scroll, and rolled it up calmly: "The Holy Majesty has not yet established a queen, and the Sima clan is immortal, so she will never be a queen."

The woman in the painting is full of smiles, her eyes are cute and playful.

Deja Vu!

But definitely not Concubine Liu Gui.

She must have seen those eyes somewhere, and more than once!
"The story is over, go to bed."

Qin Zhi was still a little tired, and there was a sharp pain in his right arm.

Presumably it was because the anesthetic had worn off that he felt a little pain.

Ma Lan made the bed obediently and went to sleep.

The night was quiet.

Ma Lan was sleeping soundly, and vaguely remembered something.

After talking so much, Qin Zhi still didn't tell her why he planned to assassinate him!
Thinking of this, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Intentionally picked Qin Zhihuan up to question him, but seeing the blackness in his eyes, he simply gave up.

How about love, it's a godsend that the koi can't die around her.

The next day, Malan woke up from hunger.

I had a busy night yesterday and I was hungry.

Seeing that Qin Zhi hadn't woken up yet, he lifted the quilt lightly and got out of bed, and went out to let Qin Da get ready for breakfast.

The steamed buns in Jiangnan are the most famous, and she wants to try the siu mai as well.

Turning around, he saw the kraft paper bag on the table.

I haven't finished peeling the chestnuts from last night, so I can fill my stomach right now.

A pot of hot tea and a bag of chestnuts made her very satisfied.

After eating the chestnuts, I felt much better, and turned around to wash in the clean room.

After washing up, he saw Qin Zhihuan also got up.

I'm struggling to tie my belt.

Malan stepped forward and helped him fasten his belt and arrange his clothes.

"All right."

Before she could say anything else, she saw Qin Zhihuan staring at the table.

He immediately asked, "Where are the chestnuts you peeled for me yesterday?"

Malan was taken aback.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qin Zhi asked again without giving up: "Have you eaten all?"

Malan only felt his head buzzing, and the fried chestnuts he ate just now made him feel uncomfortable.

It was only now that she realized that she seemed to have inadvertently ate his portion.

I gave him no food yesterday, and asked for it again early in the morning.

She couldn't say that she got up early in the morning and ate his share.

How embarrassing it is to steal food from a patient and spread the word.

"If you want to eat, I'll go out and buy it for you right now." She grinned: "Soon."

As soon as one foot stepped out of the door, Qin Zhihuan's voice was heard: "Come back."

Malan stopped abruptly.

After a while, Qin Zhi turned to look at her, and asked again: "Is there no one left?"

"one left."

Ma Lan emptied out the leather bag on the table, and there was still an open one inside.

It was small and difficult to peel, so she didn't eat it.

"do you want to eat?"

The corners of Qin Zhihuan's eyes finally lifted, showing a smile: "Yes."

He would always eat one of the chestnuts she peeled by herself.

The entrance of the soft and waxy chestnuts made me feel much happier: "It's cold outside, it's better not to go out if you have nothing to do. If there is anything you like to eat, just tell me, and I will buy it for you."

Malan shook his head and disagreed, how could he not go around after finally coming here.

Reach out and grab his cuff: "I want to go outside."

This is her first time in Jiangnan.
