Chen Qian and Ning Wen arrived at the military camp an hour later, holding a seven-year-old boy's hands.
Qi Yuning looked at the little boy and thought that if Fourth Aunt had not been so grief-stricken that she had a miscarriage, perhaps she would have had a younger brother.
The seven-year-old child looked very similar to Shen Qian, and they were obviously father and son at first glance.
Shen Yuqi stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Big brother, big sister, Master Lu."
Qi Yu'an listened to Shen Yuqi's cry, feeling so overwhelmed that he didn't know how to describe it. He held Shen Yuqi's hand and warned Lu Ze and Qi Yuning, "You two must be extremely careful. Master Shen, Madam Shen, if you want your son, you need to bring my sister and Prince Lu back safe and sound."
Chen Qian said, "I only have this one son, and I will definitely bring back the princess, the prince, and the king in one piece."
When Qi Yuning was about to leave, Lichun and Jingzhe stepped forward and said, "Princess...we have to follow you."
Qi Yuning said to Lichun Jingzhe: "We don't need too many people to go on this trip. I am already disguised as a maid, and you can no longer be my maids. Just stay here and take care of Young Master Shen and wait for my return."
Lichun and Jingzhe watched Qi Yuning leave with concern.
The Longzhou city gate is not far from the military camp. With the Qi family army approaching, several gates of Longzhou city have been closed, and civilians are not allowed to enter or leave the city gates. Naturally, Mr. Shen Sanye and his wife are not civilians.
After entering Longzhou City, Qi Yuning saw a scene of panic, with rice shops filled with people.
The city gate was crowded with people trying to escape from the city, and there were also beggars who snatched property and ran away. This was not Qi Yuning's first time in Longzhou, but it was the first time he saw Longzhou like this.
Walking towards the city, there was a desolate scene. Perhaps because of the sound of horse hooves, the people in the houses on both sides closed their windows.
When Qi Yuning saw a child about the same age as Lingling saying "Mama", the adult inside covered his mouth and closed the window heavily.
Inside the carriage.
Ning Wen looked at Qi Yuning's expression as she lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside and said, "I didn't expect the Qi family would start a rebellion."
Qi Yuning said, "We have no choice but to raise an army. The Qin family has evil ambitions to replace the royal bloodline and has done all sorts of evil things. If a shameless person like Qin Guojiu holds power, it will only be a disaster for the people of Dasheng."
Ning Wen said, "Alas, is the throne really that important? The people in power are the ones who suffer the most, especially the soldiers' families..."
Qi Yuning said: "It's not that no one wanted my grandfather to ascend the throne back then, but my grandfather still respected Emperor Shiyuan as the emperor. My grandfather was not wrong about Emperor Shiyuan. In the past forty years, Emperor Shiyuan was a good emperor because he was kind and caring about the people, and treated loyal ministers and generals well.
But what about the Qin family? The Qin family is crooked from top to bottom, and there's nothing good about it. The Qin family army has no clear discipline and acts tyrannically in Gyeonggi Province. If the Qin family takes power, the people of Dasheng will probably have a harder time.
Madam Shen, we, the Qi Family Army, are unwilling to turn our swords against the people of Dasheng."
Ning Wen sighed.
The carriage arrived at the gate of Huang's mansion. There was a white banner hanging at the gate and a white lantern with big black characters "Dian" written on it.
Qi Yuning pretended to be Ning Wen's maid and helped Ning Wen get off the carriage.
Then a young man with a pointed head came out of the Huang Mansion. When Qi Yuning saw this man, he felt that he had a shifty look.
The man with the pointed head said, "Master Shen San, Madam Shen San, how dare you come to my Huang Mansion?! Your good adopted daughter actually killed my eldest brother! My eldest brother was angered to death by your daughter!"
Chen Qian said, "Nian'er would never do such a thing. I have invited a high-ranking monk from Longyan Temple in Shuofang to come and pray for Huang Rui's soul to be reborn."
Lu Ze, wearing a red cassock and carrying a string of Buddhist beads, stepped forward and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha."
Huang Fei looked at the monk in front of him and the young monk behind him. As he spoke, Huang Fei went up to Lu Ze and touched his chin, saying, "This monk is really handsome!"
Lu Ze didn't let him touch him, took two steps back and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, please respect yourself."
“Brother Shen, sister-in-law.”
Qi Yuning listened to a loud and energetic voice, looked up, and saw a burly general coming out. He thought that the person should be Huang Tao, the governor of Longyou Road.
“You came at the perfect time. The child born by that slut Shen Nian is not my Rui’er’s bloodline, but the adulterer’s bloodline!”
Ning Wenlian said, "Absolutely impossible. Nian'er has been growing up beside me since she was five years old. I know her too well. She would never do such a thing!"
Huang Tao said, "Shen Nian, this slut, was caught red-handed committing adultery with a man. What else can she say? Besides, the child and the adulterer have already been blood-matched."
Lu Ze stepped forward and said, "Amitabha, this donor, blood recognition and blood mixing are nonsense."
Huang Tao saw the two handsome young monks in front of him and asked, "Where are you monks from?"
Chen Qian said, "This is a highly accomplished monk from Shuofang. I specially invited him to perform a ritual to pray for Huang Rui's soul. Master Shuiqing is a master of profound Buddhist teachings and will surely allow Huang Rui to rest in peace."
Huang Fei stepped forward and said, "Only when that slut Shen Nian dies can my brother leave in peace!"
Ning Wen frowned and said, "You are so rude, you little brat! My daughter is still your sister-in-law. How dare you call her a slut? I want to see my Nian'er!"
Qi Yuning supported the anxious Ning Wen and went inside with her.
Huang Tao did not stop Ning Wen from going to see Shen Nian. Perhaps because they were concerned about the Shen family and the Ning family, the Huang family just locked Shen Nian in the room and did not do anything to her.
