Liu Qi raised his hazy, drunken eyes, struggling to focus, and it took him a long time to recognize her.
laugh.
"What's it to you?"
He Ying's heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with tears of anger, and she roared:
"How can it be unrelated?!"
"Your mother is dead, your sweetheart is dead, she was your sister-in-law, and even your nephew didn't survive!"
"Don't you have even a shred of courage to avenge them?!"
A hoarse voice came from the doorway of the hut: "What did you say?"
It is Liu Qi's older brother, Liu Liu.
His rugged face was filled with disbelief.
With a hint of despair in his eyes, he looked at Liu Qi questioningly.
Liu Qi sobered up considerably immediately.
He Ying's expression changed instantly.
Unexpectedly, Liu Liu suddenly appeared and overheard what she said.
Liu Liu twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he were smiling, but it looked worse than crying.
"So, you haven't gotten married all these years because you're still thinking about your sister-in-law?"
Liu Qi put his feet down from the coffee table and sat up straight. "Brother..."
Liu Liu suddenly reached out to stop him: "Stop talking."
The burly man suddenly tilted his head back, as if his spine had been severely injured: "I'm the one who broke you up."
"She's always had feelings for you..."
The man squeezed his eyes hard, suppressing the stinging sensation in them.
The seventh brother was carefree and unrestrained since childhood, with outstanding martial arts skills and a chivalrous personality. Wherever he went, he would attract the attention of young women and wives.
Liu Liu never expected that his husband would have such thoughts about his wife.
It feels like being betrayed by the person closest to you, but having no right to blame them.
Because Liu Qi's behavior did not exceed the bounds.
His wife didn't cheat on him.
That's precisely why it hurts the most.
"Brother, it's not what you think." Liu Qi felt his mouth was dry, and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to begin.
“I don’t like my sister-in-law,” Liu Qi said.
"She is not the one I love."
Don't listen to people's nonsense.
Liu Liu nodded absentmindedly and hurriedly walked out.
He Ying opened her eyes wide and stared intently at Liu Qi.
Which of your statements is true?
Liu Qi smiled coldly.
"None of it is true. Go back now, and we'll never have anything to do with you again."
He toiled for years, only to have his family destroyed and his brothers turn against each other.
His connection with the palace did not bring him any good fortune.
Crane Shadow's tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"Someone from the palace is looking for you."
Liu Qi unceremoniously pushed He Ying out of the small thatched hut and slammed the door shut.
Zhang Zhong, who had been standing outside the door, saw this and said through the door, "Seventh Master, the Emperor has issued an edict that if another batch of medicine can be produced, he is willing to offer an official position or a large sum of gold. You may make any request."
Liu Qi felt a tearing pain in his chest.
It was because of that bottle of medicine that he was separated from his mother for more than half a year, to the point that he couldn't even take care of his family when they were being watched, and in the end, his family was destroyed and he died.
He was completely overdoing it.
"I won't accept it." Liu Qi coldly rejected the proposal.
...
In mid-November, a grand ceremony was held in the palace to bestow honorary titles.
The emperor, empress, civil and military officials, and noblewomen from both inside and outside the court gathered to pay their respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager and to bestow new titles upon them.
This ceremony of bestowing the title of Empress Dowager was also a grand opportunity for the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to interact with the outside world.
If these two old women were to utter any shocking words, the emperor and empress's reputations would likely suffer even more.
Throughout the entire process, Madam Wang was kind and gentle, and did not utter a single extra word.
Empress Dowager Zhang listened to the young girls around her.
Sister Feng was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her expression was very lively, giving her a bit of the air of a willful princess.
Su Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Last time, I asked the head eunuch of Cikang Palace to give Fengjie some pointers so that she could play the role of the willful and capricious Princess Xiuyi well.
They also brought her family into the palace and let Sister Feng meet them.
When Sister Feng heard that her family had settled down in the capital and their lives were much better, and that her brother had found a job, her heart gradually settled down.
These days, her behavior is becoming more and more like that of Princess Xiuyi.
When Marquis Shouning Zhang Heling saw this scene, he was so angry that his face turned ashen.
He never imagined that he had been deceived by his brother-in-law, the emperor, for so many years!
I always thought that Zhou Xiuyu had been sexually assaulted by him while drunk, but it turns out that the late emperor deliberately framed him!
What's most infuriating is that he still believed Su Wanwan was his daughter!
They're really treating him like a monkey.
If the late emperor had always favored Zhou Xiuyu.
Then what about my sister all these years?
The late emperor and his family were so wicked and vicious!
Now she's even putting on a fake "Princess Xiuyi" act to act clever and innocent in front of her sister, deceiving her!
So many years of deception have planted seeds of hatred in my heart.
He couldn't let his sister be bullied like this!
...
Zhang Zhonghe and He Ying lingered in Wen'an County.
The task assigned by the Emperor must be completed no matter what.
Over the years, Zhang Zhong worked at the factory and was influenced by Liu Jin's style, which made him increasingly ruthless.
He found Sang Yu, the military commander of Bazhou, intending to resort to force if soft tactics failed.
Sang Yu said, "Yang Hu, Liu Liu's fellow disciple, burned down the government office and is being arrested and wanted by the court. We can use this as an excuse to arrest Liu Liu and Liu Qi. We're not afraid that they won't go to their fiefdoms."
Zhang Zhong: "Then it's General Laosang's turn."
Sang Yu actually knew Liu Liu and Liu Qi as well. Liu Qi had given him a lot of money when he was selling horses.
They made a show of force, and had the news that they were going to be arrested spread.
