Chapter 127 Fake Jin's True Son 14

The old prince felt guilty for not taking good care of his only daughter. He and the princess had been in love for their entire lives and only had one daughter, whom he doted on. The princess died of illness three years ago, and he could only stay alive for the sake of his daughter.

Princess Huimin didn't pay attention to what her father said and her attention was diverted to the outside of the window.

Qi Xuanyi and Wang Wenbo were discussing with the ministers and nobles in the capital about next year's imperial examination.

"Young Master Li won the first place last year. He will definitely take part in the imperial examination next year." Wang Wenbo spoke in a bad tone whenever he mentioned that person.

"Li Lun is a cold person, and he looks down on those of us who rely on our family for a living." Wang Wenbo thought about the day he met him on the street and the contempt in Li Lun's eyes, and he felt angry.

"I heard that he is still pursuing the old prince's daughter, Princess Huimin"

Qi Xuanyi changed the subject without interest and talked about the origin of this royal temple.

After a clear explanation, I learned that this temple was rebuilt by the previous emperor for the harem ladies to worship Buddha and burn incense. It was also an important festival for the emperor to burn incense and pray, so the area was heavily guarded and the people did not dare to approach it at will. After the emperor of this dynasty showed mercy and allowed the people to burn incense and worship Buddha, the people still had concerns in their hearts and basically would not approach the royal temple.

Qi Xuanyi looked at the snacks on the stone table, including plum blossom cakes, Ruyi cakes and other desserts. He picked up a piece and tasted it. He felt that it was fresh, not greasy, and had a very good taste.

The princess in the attic saw that he liked the cakes made by the royal chef, so she picked up a piece of cake at random, took a bite, and savored the flavor carefully.

"My dear daughter, look, I spent a lot of effort to find these talented young men in the capital. They are all legitimate sons of the family and are still unmarried." The old prince took out a list and showed it to her.

He casually flipped through it a few times, and closed the booklet without any interest in the sons of noble families and the sons of civil and military officials.

"Father, I have my own plans. Let's leave it at that for now."

When the old prince heard his daughter's answer, he did not dare to urge her.

"Father, let's go back." He closed the doors and windows with a faint expression and looked deeply into the pavilion.

The old prince reluctantly ordered his servants to prepare the carriage to return home, and took his daughter out of the attic and left through a hidden road at the back.

Qi Xuanyi seemed to feel that someone was looking at him. After observing for a while, he found that an attic window in the distance was closed.

The two of them spent some time in the pavilion, and as it was getting late, they got up and went back to look for their mother.

"I was just looking for you. I just drew a very good fortune for you, and the master said that your marriage is coming." Qi Wei's two sons were very happy that their marriage was about to happen, so they made an appointment with the wife of the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy to meet with their eldest daughter. After mediation by Madam Wang, they were already interested in forming a marriage alliance with the General's Mansion.

Qi Xuanyi didn't believe the fortune sticks and smiled at his mother.

"Today is all thanks to you, Madam Wang. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so smooth." Qi Wei turned to Madam Wang beside him to express his gratitude.

"This is also the credit of your eldest son. People also see that your eldest son is well-educated and has no maidservants." Mrs. Wang felt that she would not introduce her daughter to her good sisters even if she had one. She just rolled her eyes at her son behind her with hatred.

"Your youngest son hasn't settled down yet, has he?"

"My cousin's second daughter is now 15 years old, which is the right age," Mrs. Wang enthusiastically introduced her cousin's second daughter.

"As for your wish to look after the child, it's up to fate." Qi Wei felt the burning gaze coming from behind and his sleeve being pulled.

Qi Xuanyi was terrified when he heard these words. He stared at his mother and pulled her sleeve. He didn't want to marry a little girl who hadn't grown up.

The carriage was moving slowly on the official road, and not much sound could be heard from inside the carriage.

"You're almost reaching age, what kind of wife do you want to find?" Qi Wei asked him in the car.

"She should be a few years older than me and have a better personality." Qi Xuanyi thought that since his wife was older, it would be safer for her to get pregnant than a teenage girl because her body was already mature.

"You..." Qi Wei looked at him with a complicated expression.

Qi Xuanyi looked at her mother's expression and knew that she had misunderstood.

"Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. How could I be that kind of person?"

"I consider that girls are only 16 or 17 years old, their bodies have not grown at all, and the burden of pregnancy is very heavy."

When Qi Wei heard what her son said, she finally understood and her face turned slightly red.

"Then I'll look for you."

The vehicle from the general's mansion left at the corner, and another magnificent and noble Ferghana BMW vehicle appeared faintly behind it.

When Qi Xuanyi's vehicle was passing through a hidden official road, five men in black suddenly appeared in the woods on both sides and rushed towards the carriage, killing anyone they saw. The guards of the general's mansion did not react in time and several of them were killed. The rest, who were more experienced, immediately picked up swords to defend themselves.

Qi Xuanyi and his mother heard a noise coming from outside the carriage. He felt something was wrong and opened the window to take a look. He found that the men in black were targeting their carriage and the guards around them were seriously injured.

"What happened outside?" Qi Wei seemed to feel the screams outside. She felt a little scared, but more worried about her son.

"Mom, don't go out"

Just as Qi Xuanyi finished speaking, the door of the carriage shook, and the coachman was stabbed in the throat. He fell beside the door and blood spilled onto the window.

He opened the door, pushed the coachman out, and drove the carriage with the reins. The horses ran forward madly, and the carriage was out of control due to the stimulation and ran into the woods.

The killer gave up killing the guards and maids and quickly chased after them.

The guards who escaped death sent one person to the capital to inform General Ye as soon as possible. The rest of the people continued to follow the traces of the carriage.

At this time, the royal palace's vehicle passed by not far from the official road and found the guards of the general's palace covered in blood, running towards the capital.

"Such lawlessness is happening right at the foot of the capital city." The old prince heard the report from outside and ordered the people riding on horses outside to hurry to the capital city to inform the Ministry of Justice, and sent someone to the general's mansion to let General Ye know as well.

"Daughter, where are you going?" The old prince just turned around and saw his daughter, who actually jumped off the carriage with a sword in her hand.

"I want to save people." Princess Huimin grabbed the horse of the palace guard without looking back and rode it quickly back.

Seeing that the horse was madly trying to crash into the tree, Qi Xuanyi was worried that his mother would get hurt, so he gave up trying to control the carriage, ran into it, and covered Qi Wei with the quilt to prevent her from being hit from behind.

Seeing that time was running out, he kicked open the window, picked up Qi Wei and jumped out of the carriage. He rolled down the slope and his back was violently cracked by a rock.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Qi Wei hadn't reacted yet, but because of the blanket acting as a cushion, he wasn't hurt.

"Son, how are you now? Are you hurt?" Qi Weizhuchai's voice was tearful and she reached out to feel her son's body to see if there were any wounds or bloodstains.

"Mom, I'm fine." Qi Xuanyi knew that the killers would not give up.

After observing the environment of the area, he found a big tree in front, surrounded by vines. When he got there, he found that there was a hollow inside the tree roots, which was just covered by the vines, so that his mother's petite figure could be hidden secretly.

When he heard the sound of birds flying in fright, he knew that time was running out, so he pulled his mother to the big tree and peeled off the vines.

"Mom, hide inside first and don't make any noise."

When Qi Wei cried and shook her head to disagree, Qi Xuanyi knocked her out on the back of the neck.
