I feel tired and depressed.

The prince watched silently for a long time, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining anything to him, he became impatient.

"Qi Hwan? You don't want to tell your father?"

"Let's talk about it after you recover. I've already arranged all the household matters."

Li Qihuan went on a killing spree in the East Palace. Anyone who was involved in the incident or suspected of being involved was killed. He also asked Fifteen to kill the Crown Princess. She didn't die, but she became demented and stupid, and she will never understand again.

Then, he locked Xue Ying up with the Crown Princess and told her to "accompany and take care of her, and be filial to her!"

He gave the order without hesitation, but after he finished, he felt sad. The East Palace was just a decoration, nothing was left, and his loved ones had become like this...

How could he tell his father?

"Since this is our own family matter, I, as a father, must know something about it!"

Li Qihuan still refused: "The most important thing for you is to rest. If what my son said makes you unhappy, then these few days will be wasted, right?"

The prince smiled and said, "How can you rest when you have something on your mind? Besides, she is your mother after all, she is different from others."

"Father..." Li Qihuan looked at the prince sadly.

The prince patted his arm, "After you left, I thought about it. In the past few years, your mother has indeed changed... Although you have concealed everything from me, the changes in tone, attitude, and behavior are subtle, but you two are the closest people to your father, how can I not feel it? It's just... son, there is no perfect person in this world. It is unfair to others to set too high standards, and it is sad for yourself. Especially your mother, she has been through much more with me than other princesses. Especially, she gave birth to you... You don't know how grateful your father is. No matter how big a mistake she makes, your father will show mercy to her."

"Father, I have shown mercy on your behalf. She will live a life of luxury, with someone to take care of her. She will be at peace and will not know joy, anger, sorrow or happiness. She will surely live a long life!"

"Li Qihuan!" The prince understood, and his heart ached...

"Father..." Li Qihuan suddenly knelt down: "Father! In the past, I always felt angry! Your Majesty, knowing that you were not in good health, he still made you the crown prince. He openly said that he loved you and valued you, and that he loved you because you protected him from disasters, but secretly, he made you the crown prince because it was in his best interest.

You dragged your sick body... to be his target! After a few years, your son finally grew up and could help you. But he started to be wary again... He did it to you several times! So, your son was fighting with him! Since he did this, your son would become a problem for him to see! "

"But... my son has not been happy in the past two years. That day, when I saw you like that, I almost couldn't control myself. I wanted to kill someone! Even, I wanted to kill my mother and my king..."

The prince was startled. Although he knew there was no one around, he still quickly looked around.

"Father, now that you have calmed down, your son has suddenly figured it out: Even if I can win this battle, what does it matter? The whole world is not as important as you. Your son just wants to accompany you simply, and will do nothing but accompany you. I am also worried that if I continue to go on, there will be a day when your son will only have that position in his eyes..."

After hearing this, the prince remained silent for a long time.

…

On the fourth day of the New Year, Song Shang wrote to Wen Yu, asking her to come over when she was free.

Originally, Qi Hou's old friend and his family were coming, so they had to wait at home. Wen Yu discussed with Qi Wu: "My cousin has something urgent to talk to me about, why don't you stay at home and I'll go by myself!"

How could Qi Wu agree? He did not refute, but followed silently behind.

Wen Yu had no choice but to let him go.

Mrs. Song looked unhappy. When she saw Wen Yu, she pulled her hand and whispered, "I feel uneasy. Your cousin's attitude towards Han Bao'er is a little strange. I asked him for a long time, but he refused to say anything and just told me to leave it alone. Ah Yu, how about you ask for your aunt again?"

Wen Yu patted her hands: "Aunt, are you still worried about what my cousin does? He has a reason for his attitude. And to be honest: Song Chihan's temper really needs to change. If a little girl is like this, others may find it strange and interesting. But when a girl grows up, it won't work! Think about it, when I was a child in Songjiazhuang, I lived on the wall and in the river. If I am still like that now, my mother-in-law will look down on me!"

Mrs. Song laughed out loud when she heard this.

Wen Yu added: "If she doesn't straighten herself out now, she will be set in her ways and can't change them. What should we do? Do you want her to stay home and recruit a son-in-law?"

Mrs. Song shook her head: "That won't work! She will have a younger brother in the future!"

"Yes! If she always has this temper, which lady would not be picky when looking for a daughter-in-law? Even if she marries her for the sake of my cousin, who would allow her to do this? If she changes at that time, she will suffer and be wronged."

Mrs. Song sighed: "Ayu, it was her aunt who spoiled her."

"That's not the case! What grandmother doesn't love her granddaughter? But now, she really needs to start learning the rules."

"Now that you mention it, it's true. If that's the only reason, it's not a big deal, but your cousin is like that... Ask him later."

"Don't worry, I'll ask. Hey, where's cousin Tao? Why haven't I seen him?"

After a while, Song Shang invited Qi Wu and Wen Yu to go to the study.

Wen Yu asked, "Is it Song Tao who is looking for me?"

Song Shang smiled bitterly: "Not only that. This year has been very interesting! Xu Er wanted to get Madam Xu drunk, and I asked Madam Xu to play along. Then Xu Er stole the key to open the warehouse, and he and Song Tao took the things in. Before they could come out, I locked them in. It's been almost two days..."

Wen Yu chuckled when she heard this: "This is really like catching a turtle in a jar! Two days! It's so cold, he didn't freeze to death in there, did he?"

"He's not dead, but there's nothing inside, which is pretty bad."

"When we were getting the medicine that day, he was following us, wasn't he?"

"Yes, otherwise, how could he have opened the storehouse? He checked the residence in the mansion and it was clean. The guards caught a few, but some escaped. However, those who escaped usually ran away. He checked the house outside... Look!"

He pointed at several packages on the table and said, "He has prepared quite a lot of things, including drugs, poisons..."

Wen Yu shook her head: "Madman! But if his people run away, will they report it? Then the person behind it can't be caught... If we catch Song Tao, we should torture him directly. Keeping him for two days will waste too much time."

Song Shang glanced at Qi Wu and found it funny. This girl made the execution sound so easy... She wasn't afraid that her husband wouldn't mind. But he found that Qi Wu's wooden face didn't show any expression.

"He didn't necessarily recognize the real owner. He followed him for a long time, but he just kept making detours."

"So when are you going to let him out? We need to see what he wants to frame and where he's going to make his move next!"

"Let's do it tomorrow. Lock him up for three days and see."

"Oh, we are going to visit the princess tomorrow... How about tomorrow afternoon? I want to come and see!"

Song Shang was helpless: "Okay. I'll open the door again when you come!"

"Then you better be careful, don't let the person behind you rescue you!"

"Don't worry! And... Wei Zhikuan has been instigating Song Chihan since he arrived in Beijing." He pointed to a small bag and said, "I also prepared something for her."

Wen Yu was helpless: "It's all because of power and money! You decide how to tell your aunt, she's worried."

Qi Wu and Wen Yu came out. Qi Wu looked at Wen Yu and asked, "Ah Yu, why did Song Shang come to you to tell you all this? Family disgrace should not be made public, why did he tell you all this? Also, who wants to touch him? Why are you cousins ​​so close?"

Wen Yu thought, this is bad! She had become accustomed to the way she communicated with Song Shang in the past. In the past, Qi Wu was never around. How could this be explained? Qi Wu was still thinking: "Besides, have you sorted out and negotiated the money and shares for opening the shop? Have you settled the accounts at the end of the year? You..."

Wen Yu's heart was pounding, she hadn't figured out what to say yet...

"Also, why do you hate Song Tao? And Song Chihan, I never heard you mention her. You are very nice to Yuanyuan and Baoer. Why is that?"

Wen Yu felt extremely regretful and said that she shouldn't have brought him here...How could she explain this?

"Well……"

Qi Wu became serious, "Wen Yu, are you hiding something from me?!"

Wen Yu hesitated and said, "Uh. When I was a kid, I was often at the Song family, and my cousin and I were like real siblings."

Qi Wu shook his head: "Even siblings don't act like this. My mother and uncles have a very good relationship, but they don't talk like you just did..."

Wen Yu saw that it was really bad, he was "thinking". If this stubborn guy gets stuck, I will be in trouble.

His eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind: "Actually, it's like this... um... at that time, Song Tao... seemed to have taken a fancy to me."

"What?!" Qi Wu stopped "thinking" all of a sudden.

There is a way! Wen Yu smiled secretly: "He always comes to me no matter what he does. When Zhuzhu and I are working in the garden, he puts down his work and runs around to help. He even waits for me halfway and talks about this and that. He is a bastard and has a low status in the family. Maybe he wants to marry me and then get into the Wen family. But how can I agree to that!"

Wen Yu looked at Qi Wu's livid face, "Then, I told my fifth cousin. My fifth cousin went to deal with him. He was too embarrassed to save himself. Maybe he hated me and my cousin. I occasionally found that he was plotting against my cousin. So..."

Qi Wu was furious: Bastard! How dare you covet my people!

Very good...it seems that I really need to come here tomorrow!
