After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 1023 Major Events in Kyoto 1

The lights in the Palace Treasure Pavilion were not on.

Instead, a lantern was lit in a small pavilion under the dead old banyan tree in Fengyi Palace, which had been in ruins for many years.

Before Li Chenan returned to Kyoto, Fengyi Palace had been renovated by the Ministry of Industry under Wen Boyu's instructions.

This small pavilion named Zuihuayin, which was originally dilapidated, now has a brand new look.

It's just that Li Chenan didn't establish a queen after he ascended the throne, and he didn't even confer a queen, so the Fengyi Palace remained empty.

A tea table, two people sitting opposite each other.

There was no charcoal stove and no tea was made.

The window was open, the cold wind was still howling, and the room was very cold.

Qin Huaiyu looked at the old man in black robe opposite him. The old man still wore a mask, only revealing a pair of eyes and a long gray beard.

He smiled slightly:
"It seems that I know you, you are not Xi Wei!"

"It's just that I didn't expect that you were also a grand master!"

"Speaking of our Ningguo's great master... before this, there were only four people, Fan Taohua, me, Feng Xishan and Yan Jidao."

"Mrs. Fan left Kyoto and went somewhere unknown. Feng Xishan is guarding the Jishan Temple on the Western Mountain in Shuzhou... and he also brought one of his disciples with him."

"Yan Jidao also disappeared after going to Wu State."

"I... traveled around and couldn't help but come back to take a look."

"After all, I have lived here for many years. Even though things have changed, I wanted to take a look before leaving, but I didn't expect you to come."

The old man stroked his long beard:
"I'm afraid you didn't come back to see Fengyi Palace!"

Qin Huaiyu did not deny it, he nodded:
"Even Mrs. Fan admires this young man. Now that he has become the emperor of Ning State and serves as a member of the royal family, I am naturally very curious about what kind of ability he has that has caught the attention of so many of you!"

"Then did you see it?"

Qin Huaiyu pondered for three breaths and shook his head:

"I just arrived yesterday."

"He went to the slums this afternoon. The wind and snow were too heavy. I wanted to get closer and listen to what he would say to the people in the slums, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Fan's granddaughter Zhongli Ruoshui also broke through. The great master!"

"It's not convenient for me to get close, so I don't know what he said."

"After I came back here, I was thinking... maybe all of this is destined!"

"On that Mid-Autumn Festival night two years ago, it rained."

"The late emperor came back to preside over the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the literary world."

"That night, Sun Tiexian came to Zhenbao Pavilion. I stabbed him and saved his breath."

"He went back with the medicine from Zhenbao Pavilion. Zhongli Ruoshui was supposed to die that winter, but his life was extended for a while because of the medicine Sun Tiexian brought back."

"Sun Tiexian saved Zhongli Ruoshui's life with his own life."

"Li Chenan gave Zhongli Ruoshui a new life with his commitment, and even became the great master of Zhongli Ruoshui!"

"You see, this is a coincidence."

"If I had killed Sun Tiexian that night, Zhongli Ruoshui would have died long ago."

"Li Chenan will not leave Kyoto for another two years. He may become the emperor of Ning Kingdom by then, but he will never become a grand master at Wangqingtai!"

"Although he is not a grand master now, he has a grand master who always stays with him... This is his luck!"

"If I had killed Xiao Mantou twenty years ago,"

Qin Huaiyu stared into the old man's eyes. When he said these words, he saw the pupils of those eyes shrink slightly.

He smiled.

"Hua Lao, if I had killed Xiao Baozi twenty years ago, Li Chenan would not have had Xiao Baozi who was about to break through to the Grand Master level next to him!"

"Look, this is what Feng Xishan said about cause and effect."

"In addition, the late emperor actually already knew that Xi Wei was not in Kyoto!"

Hua Manting was shocked. He took off his face towel and looked at Qin Huaiyu, "So, the late emperor actually knew that I had been playing Xi Wei for so many years?"

"Of course, the late emperor is not a fool."

After a pause, Qin Huaiyu looked at the night outside the window and said with emotion:
"Actually, the late emperor knew a lot of things. Perhaps it was because he felt tired of knowing too much that he built Changle Palace...in order to escape from the world." "When you went to Guangling City two years ago and came back to promote Li Chenan, the late emperor I am curious about Li Chenan, otherwise with his temper, he would never return to Kyoto to host the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala."

"He just wants to see Li Chenan."

Hua Manting frowned:
"What are you looking at?"

"The main thing is not to look at his talent, but to look at his appearance!"

Hua Manting was shocked:
"Then did he see it?"

Qin Huaiyu pondered for three breaths:
"If he didn't see it, why would he take the initiative to pave the way for Li Chenan!"

Hua Manting leaned over and asked:

"...Where is the late emperor now?"

Qin Huaiyu sighed:
"Since I have already called him the late emperor, this means that even if he is alive, he is already dead."

"You don't need to spend those useless thoughts, and you don't need to be on guard against me. Instead, pay attention to the real Xi Wei!"

At this point, Qin Huaiyu also leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Hua Lao, do you know where Xi Wei is?"

Hua Manting shook his head: "After so many years, he probably died of old age in a foreign country."

"I still have something unclear,"

Hua Manting changed the topic and asked:
"The late Emperor killed Lu Zhanxiao and the whole family was full of people. That night Xi Lei was getting into the car and waiting for him."

"It is said that there is no one left alive. How did the late Emperor conclude that Xi Wei was not dead?"

Qin Huaiyu looked at Hua Manting again, this time he was silent for a long time.

It wasn't until he heard footsteps in the distance that he blew out the candle in the lantern, stood up slowly, and said:

“It was not the late emperor’s fault that all the people in the Marquis Mansion were wiped out!”

Hua Manting was shocked and raised her head: "Who is that?"

Qin Huaiyu stood in the dark room and looked out at the dark night.

"Everyone thinks that the late emperor was afraid of Lu Zhanxiao. After all, Lu Zhanxiao was once the slave of the second prince Ning Jingrong. No one knows that Lu Zhanxiao has always been the late emperor's servant!"

Hua Manting was suddenly shocked and heard Qin Huaiyu say again:
"This secret was accidentally known to the Imperial City Division, and it happened that in the thirty-fourth year of Jingtai, the year when Emperor Jingtai was in power, the Imperial City Division was burned down to nothing."

"The people and all the files inside were burned, the Imperial City Department no longer exists, and no one knows the secret from now on."

"The incident that happened in the third year of Zhaohua was supposed to get rid of Xi Wei."

"Xi Wei encouraged Lu Zhanxiao to rebel. Xi Wei didn't know that Lu Zhanxiao and the late emperor were brothers."

"Lu Zhanxiao invited Xi Wei to his house. The emperor issued an order and ordered the imperial guards to surround the Chehou Mansion. The original intention was to ensure that Xi Wei could not escape, but something went wrong in this matter."

"Someone took advantage of this incident and used confusion to confuse everyone in the Chehou Mansion. He declared that the Holy Spirit had spoken the word, and started to cause chaos in the Chehou Mansion. Everyone in the Chehou Mansion was executed!"

"It turned out to be what you know later."

"This person is confused. He can enter and exit the Chehou Mansion, and he can fake the emperor's orders without fear... Who do you think he is?"

Hua Manting suddenly stood up.

"Zhongli Po?!"

Qin Huaiyu sighed and did not comment.

He walked out of the small pavilion, flew up and stood on the old banyan tree.

The light in the imperial study room in the distance turned on.

He showed a smile and looked at Hua Manting, who also flew over:

"Perhaps he will become a good emperor!"

"I am leaving now, bye!"

"where are you going?"

"Be with the late emperor."
