Qi Qingyi moved his palms, turned his head to look at the person holding his wrist, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen something incredible, and asked: "You, why are you awake?!"
It was Lin Su who stopped him. However, instead of answering his question, Lin Su simply shook off his hand and watched him stumble to the ground. He sneered and said, "The name of the medicine is Xuewu Teng. Although it is rare, do you think everyone in the Imperial Hospital is a vegetarian?"
Qi Qingyi was extremely surprised, but Lin Qingtang didn't show much surprise on his face. Instead, he stood up and helped Lin Su get out of bed: "Young Master, you have been lying down for too long. Get out of bed slowly."
Seeing his attitude, Qi Qingyi looked at him and asked, "Did you know this all along?"
"The young master told me when he learned of your plan." Lin Qingtang said.
He was always cautious, fearing that he would mess up the show and ruin the young master's business.
Qi Qingyi couldn't believe it, took a deep breath and said, "Then why didn't you arrest me earlier?"
He looked at Lin Su, as if that was his last act of stubbornness.
Lin Su got out of bed, not looking weak at all. He didn't rush to answer Qi Qingyi's question, but patted Qing Tang's cheek and said, "Good cooperation."
Lin Qingtang smiled: "It's the young master's guidance that's good."
The intimacy between the two of them was extremely dazzling to Qi Qingyi. He trembled all over, his lips and tongue were shaking, and he suddenly shouted: "Why? Why do you do this to me!"
"Failure on the verge of success should be the biggest blow to a person." Lin Su walked in front of him and lowered his eyes, truly looking down on him. Although there was no disdain in his eyes, Qi Qingyi felt contempt from his attitude.
"Why do you treat me like this? I love you so much, and he is just a young waiter..." Qi Qingyi murmured repeatedly.
Lin Su half-knelt down and said, "I have no intention of targeting you. You are no different from others to me. Whether you live a good life or not is none of my business. Your love is worthless to me. Do you know what the biggest difference between you and Yang Cheng is?"
Qi Qingyi subconsciously asked, "What is it?"
"He knows the current situation and knows not to touch things that shouldn't be touched." Lin Su laughed, "So when you were still the son of the Minister, he only dared to watch from afar. When you became his caged bird, he coaxed you and loved you, but he didn't dare to implicate the family to overturn your case. And you are ignorant of yourself. Let's put it this way, when the Minister of Personnel was at the peak of his power, the things he did behind the scenes were naturally well covered up, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find out. His Majesty sent someone else in public, but secretly instructed me to investigate."
Lin Su spoke slowly and even though Qi Qingyi's face was frozen, he didn't pause. "I compiled those cases for Your Majesty, one by one. They weren't slander, but truth. You'll never be able to overturn them. As his son, you should have been exiled and enslaved for life. The three-year limit was granted to you by me, considering you were unaware and for the sake of my colleagues. Now, for poisoning a high-ranking official, I'm afraid you should be punished by lingchi."
"You lied to me! You lied to me! Kill me, just kill me!" Qi Qingyi's eyes were red and tears were streaming down his cheeks. "So what if I'm tortured to death? What's the point of me living?!"
He lingered on in order to overturn the verdict and to save his family from the infamy. Yang Cheng couldn't help him, but Lin Su could. He loved this man, admired him, and longed for him. As long as he was with him, everything would turn around.
Now he is told that the initial evidence was collected by this person. He is the driving force behind the incident and is also a good guy!
He didn't love him, he hated him, he thought he was worthless.
There is no hope at all, so what is the point of living?
"You actually still have relatives alive," Lin Su whispered. "In the 25th year of Tianyuan, your biological brother, who was born to the same father and mother, was taken away by his wet nurse. Others only knew that the Minister of Personnel had only one son, but they didn't know about the other child, but no one dared to mention him anymore. He's still alive today. For the sake of your only blood relative, you should live well."
"I have a younger brother, how could I not know?" Qi Qingyi suddenly looked at him and said.
"You were only three years old at the time, how could you know?" Lin Su laughed. "If you don't believe me, your mother always has a day every year when she's in a bad mood, and that's proof."
Qi Qingyi grabbed his clothes as if he had grabbed a lifeline and asked, "Where is he?"
"What do you think?" Lin Su opened his clothes and took a step back. "For the honor of your Qi family, Master Qi should know what to say and what not to say. Come, send Qi Qingyi back to Lord Yang's residence and keep him under close watch. Don't let him out to bite anyone again."
A servant came hurriedly and carried away the man who was sitting on the ground staring at Lin Qingtang.
After the others left, Lin Qingtang looked at Lin Su sitting and lying, wanting to say something but stopping himself: "Master, I..."
"I lied to him." Lin Su laughed, "You didn't take it seriously, did you?"
"Ah?" Lin Qingtang was confused.
"Whoever your parents are is who they are." Lin Su rubbed his head and said, "If Qi Qingyi had no worries, he would have killed himself. But wouldn't such a simple death be too easy for him? He thinks you are his brother and almost hurt you. Every day will be like boiling oil over a fire, but it's enough to keep him alive."
As for sending him back to the Yang Mansion, since Yang Cheng likes him, he will not allow him to have someone else in his heart. Otherwise, both sides will suffer and torture each other, and it will just depend on who can torment the other more.
"Oh... what the young master said is so true that I almost believe it." Lin Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief. If Qi Qingyi was really his brother, he would regret resisting the young master from saving him.
If he were my biological brother, it would be really uncomfortable to be threatened like that. If he were my biological brother, it would also be uncomfortable to see him in such a situation.
"You're an adult now, why are you still so stupid?" Lin Su tapped his head.
06 Dao: [Host, they are indeed brothers.]
[You are stupid too.] Lin Su said.
06 said: [Host, you cannot attack spontaneously.]
Lin Su ignored it. It was only when the Minister of Personnel's Mansion fell into decline that he learned that the Minister had a son. When the Qi family fell into decline, the Minister knelt before him and begged him to be nice to Qing Tang and preserve the last bloodline of the Qi family.
It's just that both of his sons were destined to be childless. If it weren't for Qing Tang's background, he might not have asked for that favor on Qi Qingyi's behalf. It's a pity that the person didn't appreciate it and his actions were in vain.
But Qing Tang doesn't need to know about these things, because if the child enters a brothel, it will bring shame to the Shangshu Mansion. So if the parents let him stay there, what difference will it make whether they recognize him or not? It will only add to his troubles.
Yang Cheng knew everything that had happened as Qi Qingyi was brought back. He looked at the stunned Qi Qingyi and finally said, "From today on, lock up Young Master Qi. Without my order, never let him out again!"
