Chapter 1072: Beili is in turmoil 5
Zhan Yi shook his head: "The Emperor will not allow us to leave Beili."
"What should I do? Is there no way I can see Fatty?" Madam Zhan was so worried that she wished she could grow wings and fly to the border.
Zhan Yi pondered for a moment before saying, "I told you last time that the Emperor intended to let Fatty return to Beili. Now that news of the Yin-Yang seedling and Fenglingjiao has surfaced, the Emperor will surely be uneasy. If I'm right, he'll summon you and me to the palace soon. Madam, you must not show any sign of wanting Fatty back, and you must firmly assert that Fatty is not from the Zhan family."
"Husband?" Madam Zhan looked up in surprise.
"Madam, no matter what the emperor says, you just have to remember one thing: don't let Fatty come back." Zhan Yi knew very early on that the emperor was too embarrassed to issue an imperial decree to invite people, and he had been using the Zhan family to make things happen.
Only if they completely dissuade the emperor from doing so and he has no other options will he send someone to invite them!
There is a huge difference between the two words "please" and "call"!
Gu family.
Dai from the Gu family did not receive Ye Qianning's letter, but received a letter from Gu Shuo, which talked about some things about Ye Qianning.
Dai's eyes turned red when she thought of her granddaughter whom she had not yet had the chance to recognize.
The letter was very concise and did not mention whether he would return to Beili, but she knew her son very well, and perhaps he knew that Ye Qianning was fine.
I have been in Nanyuan for so many years, just waiting for the day when that child will come back.
Now that the fat girl has returned, her son feels at ease, and she feels relieved too.
Gu Mingqiu came in from outside and saw his wife's red eyes. He frowned and asked, "A letter from Gu Shuo?"
Dai wiped her eyes and folded the letter.
"Let me see." Gu Mingqiu walked over.
Dai folded the letter into a long strip and held it in front of the candle. The letter quickly caught fire when it touched the candle flame.
"I haven't seen it yet." Gu Mingqiu ran over in three or two steps.
Dai threw it onto the yantai, and the flames quickly burned out.
Gu Mingqiu stared blankly at the burnt ashes, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face: "What do you mean by this?"
"Just eat and drink well, don't worry about other things. Of course, you can't control them." Dai sat behind the desk, raised her eyes slightly, and exuded an intimidating aura.
"You... I know you look down on me more and more, but our son is not just yours. He has been away from home for decades, and I miss him too." Gu Mingqiu was angry.
He had no news about his son.
"When you joined forces with the first, third, and fourth houses to force my son out of the family tree, Gu Shuo was my only son."
"I was also bewitched by them at that time. I already know I was wrong. Why do you keep holding on to me?" When talking about those years, Gu Mingqiu's arrogance was much less.
"Being bewitched shows that you don't trust Gu Shuo at all. If you could trust him a little, he wouldn't be forced to leave the clan."
"It's not that I don't believe it, I really did..."
"Get out." Dai chased them away.
"I... you don't listen to my explanation."
"Get out, don't hang around in front of me unless necessary. Also, warn your brothers and nephews, if anyone dares to mention Gu Shuo in front of me in the future, I will make them pay for it." Dai's voice was dull and stern.
Gu Mingqiu was angry and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Dai gave him a cold look. Explain? As a father, he didn't even trust his own children. How could he have the nerve to call himself a father?
Gu Shuo is such a stubborn person, he asked to leave the clan on his own initiative. How could he do that if he wasn't extremely disappointed?
A father is a child’s protective umbrella, but also the sharpest weapon that can kill a child.
In recent years, the emperor has been promoting the development of middle-class merchants, and the Gu family has long lost its former glory. The third and fourth branches lost all their business in the fourth year after the family split up.
The shop was sold a long time ago, and now I just live on the little money I had before.
She also knew that the third and fourth families had been asking Gu Mingqiu about Gu Shuo's whereabouts, and she knew exactly what those people were thinking.
She had long lost her feelings for Gu Mingqiu. If the old man had not been left unattended, she would have divorced Gu Mingqiu long ago!
When she heard the old man's name, Dai stood up. Even though the old man could not recognize people, he would often call out Fatty's name, saying that the fat girl was fine and would be back soon.
Maybe the old man would feel better after seeing her.
Beili Imperial Palace.
Emperor Beili did not receive the message from Baimuxun until the fourth day. After reading the letter, he sat on the dragon throne in silence for a long time.
The rapidly growing soil was bought for hundreds of millions of dollars, and was cut open in public to take out the seeds. The seedlings even grew in front of everyone's eyes.
A few hundred seeds, each worth 20 million, were sold out in an instant, bringing in revenue several times greater than the national treasury...
The birth of two yin and yang, Fengling Cape, Penglai Fairy Mountain, returning from the sea, the Taoist...
The Emperor of Beili's eyes lit up, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. "Come here, summon the Crown Prince, Prime Minister, Grand Tutor, Censor, and Grand Commandant to the audience."
"yes."
The young eunuch outside the door retreated.
Li Quande came in with tea and greeted the eunuch who hurried away. He was puzzled: "Your Majesty, Rong Fei prepared the Tremella Soup for Your Majesty."
Bei Li held his forehead and said, "Just leave it there."
"Is there anything bothering the emperor?" Li Quande put down the tray.
Emperor Beili raised his eyes and stared at Li Quande.
Li Quande's heart suddenly jumped, and he knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Eunuch Li, how do you think we can help an exiled person return to his roots?" asked Emperor Beili.
"I dare not speak nonsense."
"Go ahead."
Li Quande thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It depends on the character of the exiled person, and also on whether the family values him."
"Nature?"
"If this person has a vicious heart, he will definitely not care about his clan members. If this person is loyal and righteous, and has both virtue and talent, and the family values him highly, then recognizing him as their ancestor is just a matter of words."
Emperor Beili was in deep thought, thinking of the little kid back then, who was very smart at the age of six and vindictive, but also seemed to value friendship very much and had very close relations with the Gu and Zhan families.
If the Zhan family and the Gu family work together to persuade them, it should be possible.
"Someone, invite the Zhan family and their spouses and the second wife of the Gu family into the palace."
"yes."
Li Dequan was slightly stunned when he heard these two names, and then he immediately understood in his heart that Miss Ye had come back to life, and the spy reported that she was the owner of Xianhai Tower.
Nanyuan, Beili and Dongwei spent a lot of money to acquire Xianhai Tower.
Gu Shuo's business income over the years has been several times that of the imperial merchants, and his savings must be rich enough to rival a country. The emperor wants them to return to Beili, but his purpose is not good after all.
Soon, Prince Sangqi arrived first.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Father." Sang Qi stood up. "Your Majesty, I was summoned here urgently to discuss an urgent matter."
Emperor Beili picked up the secret letter on the table and said, "Take a look."
Sang Qi walked forward and took it with both hands. His eyes fell on the secret letter. The next second, his pupils dilated slightly, and the shock on his face became more obvious the more he looked down.
"Father, this..."
Soil that can grow rapidly, growth visible to the naked eye?
Nonsense!
"The letter sent from Baimuxun said that both Xiang Minghou and Ye Qianning are alive and well. They not only have the Yin-Yang Muscle and the Fengling Horn in their hands, but also ice crystals that can change the temperature and freeze flames in an instant." Emperor Beili had never heard of what ice crystals were. It sounded magical that they could extinguish a fire and turn it into ice in an instant.
"Father, how could such a thing exist in the world? Song Qi and Chen Siqing must have been bewitched and can't believe it." Sang Qi didn't believe it.
Ye Qianning died ten years ago and suddenly came back. When she was a child, she was vindictive and vicious.
Ten years of transformation must have made it even more disgusting.
"I believe it." said the Emperor of Beili.
"Father?"
"When she entered the capital and saw the Two Principles of Birth, she said she had found it. At that time, everyone thought a six-year-old child couldn't lie. Now think about it, you realize how foolish she was. Ye Qianning was full of calculations and knew how to hide things since she was a child. She deceived everyone."
Sang Qi couldn't deny that, looking back, they had indeed neglected too much. Ye Qianning was good at pretending to be innocent, and he still remembered her chubby face clearly.
Beneath the big face lies sinister and cunning.
"Back then, Yin and Yang appeared because of her arrival. The four countries almost flattened the entire area from Nanyuan to Beili. For many years, there was no news about Yin and Yang. Many years later, she came back to life and Yin and Yang appeared again. Who would believe that she has no connection with Penglai Mountain?" When Emperor Beili heard about the appearance of Yin and Yang again, he suspected Ye Qianning.
At that time, the news that Ye Qianning was alive also happened to come. How could there be such a coincidence in the world, and she came from the deep sea.
In a place like the deep sea, not to mention a woman, even the largest ship and the top helmsman cannot pass through.
The mystery surrounding Ye Qianning was too attractive, and he absolutely could not let her go to any country.
Sang Qi frowned, "What does Father mean?"
"I want her to return to Beili."
Sang Qi frowned even deeper. Go back to Beili?
Who would be willing to come back after leaving like that?
Li Quande was stunned for a moment, then his expression disappeared and his face remained normal. No wonder the emperor summoned the Zhan and Gu families.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gao, the Grand Tutor, the Censor, and the Grand Marshal have arrived." The young eunuch came in to report.
"Xuan."
Emperor Beili looked at Sang Qi and said, "Come to think of it, you and that girl were engaged when you were young."
Sang Qi was surprised: "Wasn't the engagement canceled in the first place?"
"I did not seal the imperial edict with my imperial seal, so it has been forged and is useless." A cunning look flashed across Emperor Beili's face.
Li Dequan: “…”
But was there really no imperial seal?
It had been so long that he had forgotten whether the jade seal had a jade seal.
Sang Qi was speechless, his face grim. It took him a while to react: "Father, your son..."
"Your Highness, I, Pan Zhen, pay my respects to His Majesty."
"Your Highness, I, Guan Qirui, pay my respects to you."
"minister……"
Grand Tutor Pan Zhen, Prime Minister Gao, Censor Guan Qirui, and Grand Commandant Sun Zhong arrived.
Sang Qi's expression became even gloomier after being interrupted. He didn't like the fat guy at all!
My father has always been so arbitrary. Think about how he treated Ye Qianning back then, blaming everything on a six-year-old child and Marquis Xiang Ming.
Dean Chen voluntarily renounced his nationality, and the Qian family also renounced their nationality. It was all because of the emperor who forced them here, and they will come back.
Even though the marriage contract was not sealed with the imperial seal, both he and Ye Qianning were dissatisfied with the marriage.
Ye Qianning had caused such a big fuss over this that even her father couldn't handle it. Now, just looking at Bai Muxun's style of doing things, you can tell how arrogant Ye Qianning is.
Will she take the engagement seriously?
