after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 1126
Chapter 1126
Since he was young, Xiao Chengyu yearned for freedom, he just wanted to be an idle prince, he didn't even want to get married, and traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers alone.

His mother worshiped the Buddha and never objected to everything he did. I don't know why she suddenly changed her mind.

Perhaps, this kind of thinking did not change overnight, but because his mother hid it too deeply, and he never noticed it.

"My son, do you think that position should not be yours because you are not from the blood of the Xiao family?"

The old concubine lowered her eyes and spoke seriously.

"Is not it?"

Xiao Chengyu didn't think anyone was more suitable for that position than Qi Heng.

"What is Qi Heng!"

The mother and son immediately quarreled, the old princess stood up, slapped the table vigorously and said angrily, "Qi Heng's surname is Qi, Da Qi's Jiang Shan's surname is Xiao, Qi Heng is just a rebellious official and traitor who seeks to usurp the throne!"

"Mother, my son's surname is Xiao, but he is not a descendant of the Xiao family."

Xiao Chengyu was also a little annoyed, his mother committed a major crime of rebellion, and if he was roasted on the fire, all previous efforts were in vain.

Xiao Chengyu claimed to know Qi Heng well, but his mother thought that nothing leaked, but Qi Heng had already noticed it.

Qi Heng didn't move now, probably waiting for an opportunity.

Lin Yuesha is Qi Heng's bottom line, more important than the throne.

"Who said you are not a descendant of the Xiao family?"

The old concubine showed an inscrutable smile, this was her well-calculated move.

Back then, her man had a problem with his body. In order to hide her embarrassment, she pretended to be pregnant for ten months, and took Xiao Chenggui away from a dying woman, successfully concealing the past.

She thought that she would never have her own flesh and blood in this life, but unexpectedly, after a few years, she became pregnant.

After discussing with each other, the couple decided to use the previous trick to protect the youngest son, so that when there is hope to compete for the position in the future, they can catch them by surprise.

Xiao Chengyu is a serious descendant of the Xiao family, with thousands of miles of land, is he really going to hand over his hands and become a sinner of the Xiao family?

The old concubine hated that iron could not be made into steel. She tried her best to hide it for many years, and worked hard to plan behind her back, just waiting for this day, when the water will come to fruition, to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"You are a worthless thing. The century-old Xiao family has been destroyed by you. You are a sinner of the Xiao family through the ages. What face do you let mother go to find your father in the future?"

Seeing that the old concubine couldn't do it hard, she started to be soft again. She can give up everything, but not the throne!
Xiao Chengyu bowed his head weakly, the truth is often cruel.

Regardless of what mother said was true or false, the relationship between the two mothers and children could not deceive anyone.

The Xiao family's power is gone, so what does it have to do with him? Xiao Chengyu has never been a prince, and the fatuous and incompetent people can't stand in the country, and it's not him who has no face to face others, right?

He, Xiao Chengyu, has no conscience, and he can't be the one who turned the tide. Blame him?

If you want to blame it, blame the incompetent members of the Xiao family for listening to the words of the treacherous villain and not distinguishing right from wrong. The lives of more than a hundred members of the Qi family cannot be killed in vain.

From Qi Heng's point of view, Xiao Chengyu understood him very well, so many people died, would it be over with a simple confession?
Some mistakes can be forgiven, and some never can.

"In all dynasties, how can there be no unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, you are kind."

The old concubine thought that her son was wavering, so she said, "You know Qi Heng, do you think Qi Heng can't find out what we showed?"

Qi Heng didn't move, probably waiting for them to show their hole cards.

Rebellion is a serious crime of ransacking one's family and destroying one's family. Now that she has come to this point, she has no way out.

"My son, if you want to send mother to see your father, that's fine."

The old concubine's eyes were red, and she tapped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Without any sadness in her heart, she was thinking about how to force Xiao Chengyu to submit.

As she said, Xiao Chengyu is her own flesh and blood, and the direct line of the Xiao family should inherit the great line and obey the will of God.

She has already chosen the candidate for the empress. Lin Yuesha's fate is precious, and the old princess is looking at this. In order to cut off the relationship between uncle and nephew and not be criticized by others, the old princess will think of other ways.

"Mother, it's not that my son refuses to agree."

Xiao Chengyu decided to use the tactic of delaying the attack. The sea of ​​bitterness is boundless and he must turn his back on the shore. He must plead guilty to Qi Heng and save her mother's life.

Only her mother couldn't see the situation clearly. Qi Heng had already grasped the military power and monopolized all power.

"It doesn't matter. Mother got the news and arrested Lin Yuesha."

As long as Lin Yuesha is used as a bait to kill Qi Heng, all troubles will naturally be solved.

It has been operating in the capital for a long time, and the old concubine has someone in her hands.

She did this not for herself, but for her son Xiao Chengyu. As a son of the Xiao family, she should not be subordinated to others for the rest of her life.

"Mother, please don't touch Miss Lin, the matter is important, let my son think about it."

Xiao Chengyu smiled wryly, the matter was too difficult, one side was a brother, the other side was a mother, it was difficult to choose, he could only choose his original intention.

Even if he is allowed to sit on the throne, he will have no wife and no children, and there will be no successors in the future, which will still cause turmoil.

The old concubine nodded in agreement, and strode away.

At the same time, someone delivered a package to Qi's mansion, and when the package arrived, the person directly took poison and died.

"unlucky!"

Xu Da was in a hurry, and waited for nearly two days, but there was no news. He returned home in three days, and it was doomed to nothing.

The other party took Lin Yuesha abducted, and has not sent a message until now, and finally sent someone to come, and before he could ask questions, the other party was gone.

After taking the wooden box, Xu Da shook it. He sniffed and smelled blood.

Xu Da didn't dare to delay, and sent it directly to the wedding room.

Qi Heng didn't close his eyes all night, he was sitting on the chair in a daze.

"Is there any news about uncle?"

In order to verify what he thought, Qi Heng sent someone to search for Xiao Chengyu, and found a space in the other courtyard of the palace. Not only that, the old princess was also missing.

No luck, that's how it is.

"No."

Xu Da pushed the small box over, and there was a letter inside.

Qi Heng took it, opened the letter, and read it two or three times from top to bottom.

"What did the man write?"

Xu Da stood behind Qi Heng, seeing it clearly, his heart sank.

Sure enough, the cousin didn't leave by herself, but was kidnapped by the other party.

Xu Da collected himself and slowly opened the box. He squinted his eyes, not daring to look inside.

"What's in it?"

The box was opened, and the smell of blood became stronger.

"one hand."

Qi Heng's face was pale and faintly blue. He threw his bloody palm into the basin and washed the blood on it, startling Xu Da who opened his eyes.

"My cousin's hand?"

Xu Da covered his heart with his hands, shaking unbearably.

A soft hand, washed repeatedly to remove the blood, the palm turned white, and the bright red cardamom on the fingernails was like blood, which was a bit weird.

Xu Da remembered that Lin Yuesha's nails were dyed bright red with henna, which was very gorgeous. This hand was a warning to Qi Heng from the person behind it.
