Qi Yu'an swept his stern eyes over Wen Ban and said, "So you've been working for the King of Shu all this time! Grandfather treated you like his own son, why would you do this? Wen Ban, you are truly disloyal, unjust, unkind, and unfilial!"
Wen Ban said: "I do all this for the good of the Qi family!"
Qi Yuning sneered, "For the good of the Qi family? You helped Bei Mo kill my parents, and you said it was for the good of the Qi family?"
Wen Ban said, "Prince, Princess, I did all this for the sake of the Qi family! Your Majesty had long been wary of the Qi family. Your Majesty gradually decentralized power to the Qin uncle's mansion and married the eldest princess to the Lu family precisely because he was on guard against the Qi family.
If the Qi family had won the Northern Desert fourteen years ago and their achievements had shocked the emperor, would His Majesty have let the Qi family go? No.
If it weren't for the fact that Prince Qi and Prince Qi and his wife died one after another, leaving only you two orphans, His Majesty would have seized the Qi family's military power long ago, and the Qi family army would have been doomed long ago.
At that time, we helped the King of Shu defeat the young prince and Qin Guojiufu, and helped the King of Shu ascend the throne. We were considered to be the ones who "followed the dragon". After the King of Shu ascended the throne, he could only rely on our Qi family army to help him sit firmly on the dragon throne, so that the Qi family can maintain its wealth forever!
But Prince Qi and the old prince were unwilling to help the King of Shu, so I had no choice but to help the King of Shu cooperate with Beimo, causing the Qi family army to retreat step by step, forcing His Majesty to ask the Lu and Qin families to send troops to Beimo, so that the King of Shu could force the palace in Beijing and seize the throne.
At that time, I helped the King of Shu to collude with Beimo in order to defeat the Qi family army, to allow the King of Shu to ascend the throne, and for the future of the Qi family army, but I really didn't want to kill Prince Qi and General Liu.
If you want to blame someone, blame Prince Qi for being stupid and unwilling to help the Qi family ascend the throne and maintain their wealth and prosperity forever."
"You're the idiot!" Qi Yuning cursed. "For the throne, the King of Shu disregarded the lives of the people living on the border, disregarded the territory won by the martyrs of Dasheng, and colluded with the thieves of Beimo. If the Qi family helped him, how could he be willing to take the throne? After that, how could the King of Shu, a traitor of Dasheng, still keep the Qi family?
My grandfather conquered the country and handed it over to Emperor Shi Yuan. The Qi family is loyal to the Zhao dynasty. How could Your Majesty not know this? Why would Your Majesty be afraid of our Qi family?
You are not doing this for the Qi Family Army, you are just greedy for the merit of following the dragon, and greedy for the benefits that the King of Shu can give you after he ascends the throne!"
Qi Yu'an said coldly, "There is irrefutable evidence that Wen Ban is colluding with the Northern Desert Shu King. Tie up every member of the Wen family and bring them to Shengjing for His Majesty to decide!"
When Qi Yuning saw that everyone in the Wen family was tied up, she felt very uncomfortable. Her parents died so unjustly, at the hands of the traitor King Shu and the idiot Wen Ban.
The north city was freezing cold at night. When I went out of the house, the cold wind was like a sharp blade, as if it could scratch my face.
Lu Ze embraced Qi Yuning, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, and said, "When we return to Beijing, I will avenge your parents."
Qi Yuning replied hoarsely in Lu Ze's arms, "Well, after we return to the capital, if Your Majesty wants to protect the King of Shu, I will risk violating my grandfather's wishes and be charged with disloyalty. Even if I lose the title of Princess, I will kill the King of Shu with my own hands!"
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "Your hands are clean. Let me do the job of killing your enemies."
"But, he is your uncle after all."
Lu Ze said, "He is also the murderer of my father."
Qi Yuning asked in confusion, "Huh? Isn't Prince Consort Lu alive and well?"
Lu Ze lowered his eyes to look at Qi Yuning and said, "Father-in-law is also a father."
