"My brother..."
"Don't talk, just listen to me first." Hu Luanfei straightened Xuanyuan Yuqing, "There is absolutely no possibility that the Third Prince will rise again, right?"
"It's too late to save him."
"It undoubtedly stabilized Xuanyuan Yuchuan's chances of ascending the throne. Although I think it is very immoral to be thankful that the Third Prince got into trouble, given the current situation, one less competitor is a better one."
It’s not that Xuanyuan Yuchuan is incompetent, in fact it’s quite the opposite, but since a certain period of time, he has been in a state of being easily excited and nervous.
It feels like having schizophrenia.
She often fell into deep thought because of Xuanyuan Yuchuan's unpredictable behavior.
Before the Queen's death, Xuanyuan Yuchuan lived in seclusion and was even afraid to see anyone. It was just that the shackles of his identity were too heavy. Most of the time, he had to disguise himself and make himself look invulnerable. But in fact, this guy was very fragile. With a slight blow, he would change into another image and attitude.
It's pitiful, but no one understands him.
On the second day, the news that Nalan Qi stood on Xuanyuan Yuchuan's side spread among civil and military officials.
There are different opinions.
Some people say that Nalan Qi is cruel and does not care that the Third Prince is his nephew, and is a traitor.
Some people also said that Nalan Qi decided to stand on the side of the Crown Prince because he no longer had the hope of becoming the Third Prince.
Anyway, everyone is disdainful of Nalan Qi.
That afternoon, Concubine Jin, who had been in pain for a day and a night, finally gave birth to the fifth princess with a shrill roar.
Hu Luanfei rushed to the Yanx Palace, and the eunuch came out to announce the good news.
General Zhenbei was stunned for a long time after hearing the news, and then turned his back and gently wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes. He didn't know that this action was completely seen by Xuanyuan Li and Nalan Qi.
The murderous intent hidden in Nalan Qi's eyes did not diminish but became more and more intense. If it weren't for the loud cry of a baby, he might have drawn his sword and swept across General Zhenbei's head.
At this moment, the three giants were all in the Yanxi Palace, and Hu Luanfei quietly retreated. Immediately afterwards, Xuanyuan Li's guard of honor became alert, and it turned out that Xuanyuan Li and others had also left the Yanxi Palace.
In a deserted corner of the dark night, Xuanyuan Li sent General Zhenbei away from the palace to watch the moon by the lake with Nalan Qi.
Seeing that no one was around, Nalan Qi knelt down and admitted his sister's mistake, "Your Majesty, I will kill that evil creature."
Hu Luanfei, who was hiding under the crabapple tree in the dark, couldn't help but tremble, and slightly parted the crabapple branches to peek out. Xuanyuan Li looked at the round moon that was as delicate as a silver plate and sighed, "My dear, forget about this matter."
"Your Majesty, you can't do that." Nalan Qi said sadly, "Jin'er is wrong. She shouldn't have betrayed Your Majesty."
"You and General Zhenbei have made great contributions to Beiqiu, me, and the entire dynasty, regardless of your own life or death. Although I am annoyed that the two of you are living in disgrace, I am also relieved that Jin'er can leave a child for General Zhenbei at this age."
In this case, Nalan Jin left with peace of mind.
Xuanyuan Li was not used to punishing women, and as he had just said, Nalan Qi and General Zhenbei had fought for Beiqiu through life and death, and especially in recent times, he always numbed himself to avoid being influenced by women.
He was lonely in his high position, but no one in the palace understood him.
"Come out."
After a while of daydreaming, Xuanyuan Li had come to the crabapple tree without knowing when. Through the crabapple tree, Xuanyuan Li was looking at her with his hands behind his back.
Hu Luanfei came out from behind the crabapple tree, and Xuanyuan Li turned his back to the moonlight with a gloomy look on his face.
"Did you hear everything?"
Hu Luanfei looked away.
Now I don't know why I suddenly feel sorry for him. A new idea seems to have emerged in my mind. At the same time, I feel guilty and feel especially sorry for my mother.
Seeing that she didn't reply, he continued, "I have failed many people in my life, and I have hurt many people invisibly. Nalan Jin and General Zhenbei, Nalan Qi and Concubine De, as well as you, your mother and Chuan'er. I have no choice but to do many things for the sake of the world and the people."
He was already so tired that many white hairs appeared in his hair. He was not kept in the dark about everything in the harem and the previous dynasty, but for the sake of the overall situation, he simply pretended that he saw nothing.
He has a broad mind and a kind heart. Xuanyuan Yuchuan inherited this from him and is very affectionate.
"In your heart, what do you think of me?" he asked again.
Hu Luanfei recalled the day when he first met Xuanyuan Li. He laughed very heartily. After that, he deliberately kept a distance from him. Until now, he had not had much contact with him and had never understood what kind of person he was.
"It doesn't matter if you can't tell me. You haven't been by my side since you were a child." Xuanyuan Li put his hand on her head and patted it twice. "It's late. Let's go back."
Hu Luanfei nodded obediently and walked around him to leave. But his voice came from behind, "Qi Si Liao really dotes on you, to the point of being unrestrained."
Hu Luanfei rolled her eyes lightly. It goes without saying that Qi Siliao doted on her, but the freedom from being bound by the rules was something she had fought for on her own, and had nothing to do with the favor of others.
After confirming that Nalan Qi was with Xuanyuan Yuchuan, Hu Luanfei decided to take the child back to Taohua Village. That night, he had a long talk with A Niang.
A'niang was reluctant to let her go, and felt bad for not having helped her for a long time, so she stuffed a lot of gold, silver and jewelry into her pocket and warned her to be careful on her way back.
Hu Luanfei knew what was hidden under A Niang's compassionate appearance. "A woman who can become the Queen Mother is not an ordinary person. A Niang must be careful."
Hu Cui smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about these things."
She looked lovingly at the baby in her arms and teased him, "This child looks exactly like you when you were a child. It's time to give him a name."
"I gave him a name, Minglang."
"The first child should be born by the father."
Hu Luanfei explained: "He respects my decision."
Hu Cuiwei's eyelashes drooped slightly. "Zhan Wang is a good person, and he knows how to respect you. But you should not go too far sometimes. He is a person of status and position, and you should give him face in front of others. Also, you have to know how to feel sorry for him and don't let him be sad and disappointed."
"Yes, I know." She wanted to say a few more words, but her mother was afraid that there would not be enough time to go back, so she hurried her out of the palace.
The next morning, she had no choice but to get on the carriage that came to pick her up. The people who came to pick her up were Qi Si Liao and Jiang Ling, who had been waiting in front of the palace gate. When they saw her, Qi Si Liao immediately came over to take off the package on her shoulders and threw it to Jiang Ling, while he held the child in one hand and put his arm around her waist with the other.
Jiang Ling took down the stool and let her stand on it. Qi Si Liao held her tightly with his hands. After getting on the carriage, Hu Luanfei stared at Qi Si Liao, whom he hadn't seen for a while, and said softly, "A few days ago, I heard Jiang Wu say that the project at Menghu Mountain was almost finished."
Qi Siliao nodded, "It's just a matter of time."
Jiang Ling, who was originally concentrating on driving, interrupted and said, "The seventh day of next month is the Qiqiao Festival. The people of Beiqiu are open-minded, and unmarried men and women will go out to play at night. I think we can take this opportunity to spread our reputation, and then slowly develop other things."
