Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Sure enough!

The couple looked at each other and waited for the old man to continue.

The old man saw the exchange of glances between them. Although he cursed at them, he was happy to see that the couple had a good relationship.

This is his and Mingzhu's grandson.

When he and Mingzhu were together, they were as sweet as honey. They didn't need to say many words, and they could understand each other with just a glance.

But this also requires the wife to have her husband in her heart, so that the two can have such a tacit understanding.

If a man has a wife who is devoted to him, it is never too good for her. No matter what kind of love there is in this world, it can only last if it is mutual.

Waisun and Xibaoer went through many twists and turns before they became husband and wife. It can be seen that it is a destiny that they will be together forever.

Thinking of this, the heaviness in his heart dissipated a little. The old man took another sip of tea and whispered, "The ghost army was selected from the secret factory and the Qiao family army.

Therefore, when the late emperor allowed them to retire, he specially made a lock, a lock that could only be opened by his jade seal and the Qiao family's jade cicada.

The lock is locking a secret room in Shoushan. Once it is opened, the secret order and the list of ghost soldiers can be retrieved."

"Don't you want the blood of the male heirs of the Si and Qiao families?"

Qiao Xi asked hurriedly.

Su Heting also looked at the old man. He remembered clearly that the late emperor had said the same thing to him.

The old man slowly shook his head, his voice lowered a few degrees, "I said that on purpose for the emperor to hear.

It was because he was afraid that the emperor would one day be wary of the Qiao family that the late emperor wanted to use this statement to protect the Qiao family's bloodline."

Unexpectedly, what the late emperor worried about actually happened.

"That's it."

Qiao Xi clenched her fingers.

Since the late emperor had such concerns, why did he give up the throne to the emperor?

The old man knew that she was upset, but the late emperor had his own difficulties, so he just sighed and patted her shoulder.

Qiao Xi also knew that this was not the time to blame others, so she asked, "Is there anything wrong with the Zhou family?"

Otherwise, why did the old man say in front of Grand Tutor Zhou that he couldn't remember anything about the ghost army?

If there were any problems with the Zhou family, they would have to deal with it early.

The old man shook his head. "Nothing is wrong, but the third brother has been instilled with the idea of ​​putting family first since he was a child. I can only reveal the matter of the Ghost Army to you two."

Right now, the Zhou family is hiding in this small place. If the world is in turmoil in the future, in times of crisis, there is no guarantee that the third brother will not attack the ghost army for the Zhou family.

The younger generations didn't understand, but he knew it all. The third brother was cunning. If he hadn't been willing to leave the capital, how could he have allowed the emperor to frame the Zhou family?

He took the Zhou family to Jiangning simply because he saw that the emperor wanted to take action against the Zhou family, so he did so to protect the Zhou family.

But he left the prince alone in the capital, so that the prince was eventually burned to death.

He did not doubt the third brother's sincerity towards the prince and Huiyue, but the rise and fall and survival of the Zhou family must come before Huiyue and the prince.

He was the only biological father and maternal grandfather who had not fulfilled their responsibilities, so naturally he had no right to blame the third brother for not protecting Huiyue and her son.

Qiao Xi and Su Heting were both smart people, and they understood a little bit after hearing what he said.

The old man continued, "We have to go to the capital quickly. The late emperor favored the prince, and I think the jade seal is hidden somewhere the prince can think of.

I wonder if the emperor has been able to find her after all these years of searching."

Su Heting thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of jade seal?"

"I took a look. There's a sheep carved on the square seal, with a hollowed-out belly to hold a jade cicada."

The Qiao family has the habit of carving jade plaques for their children using the zodiac signs. After hearing this, Qiao Xi subconsciously said.

"My prince's zodiac sign is sheep. Could it be that the late emperor gave it to you as a toy?"

Su Heting shook his head, "I have no impression."

When the late emperor passed away, he was only three years old. The fact that he could remember the words of the ghost army was because he was precocious and had a good memory.

But he was assigned various schoolwork since he was young and had very little time to play, so he never paid attention to any toys.

But if it was really given to him by the late emperor, then the jade seal should be in the East Palace.

He was framed and taken to the temporary palace for imprisonment overnight. He had no time to pack up anything in the Eastern Palace, and I'm afraid the emperor had already searched through it over the years.

Seeing that he couldn't remember, the old man stood up and said, "Think slowly, your stupid father may not be able to think of this. I'm leaving now, you should get some rest early."

When he walked to Su Heting, he glanced at him and said, "Please see me off."

Qiao Xi smiled and pushed Su Heting's back, thinking that the old man had something else to say.

As for why he avoided her, Qiao Xi didn't think much about it. She knew how good the old man was to her.

Even if there were things between the grandfather and grandson that she couldn't hear, it was certainly not directed at her. Besides, Su Heting would definitely tell him later.

However, she never expected that after Su Heting sent the old man back, he would bring back a bag of fish maw.

As someone who had seen live pornographic shows, she certainly knew what that thing was for.

"Why would Grandfather buy this? I didn't see him go to the pharmacy when we were shopping together this afternoon."

Su Heting placed the thing in the box like a treasure and whispered, "He just bought it from a brothel."

When the old man was confused before, he hoped that they would have a child soon. Now that he has recovered some of his memory and knows their situation, the old man feels that now is not a good time to have a child.

Su Heting was afraid that Qiao Xi would misunderstand, so he explained, "Grandfather is worried about you."

Of course Qiao Xi understood, but it was really embarrassing to have her elders prepare these things.

Therefore, when she met the old man the next day, she tried her best to be thick-skinned so that she could remain natural and get along with him.

The old man, on the other hand, looked calm and collected. "Xibaoer, I want to go hunting in the mountains. Do you want to go?"

Qiao Xi wanted to go for a walk in the city to see the situation in Jiangning, but she saw the old man winking at her calmly. Qiao Xi knew that the old man had a reason to go into the mountains and nodded.

He then said to Su Que, "Let's go together. They say there are many medicinal herbs in the deep mountains. Maybe we can find some good treasures."

Su Que had no resistance to medicinal herbs, so he said without thinking, "Okay."

Laibajiao was worried about his daughter, so he said, "Then I'll go and take a look too."

The old man was a little disgusted, "Your skills are not very good, will you be a drag when the time comes?"

Su Que was not happy with this and asked, "Then why do you let me, a jack of all trades, do this?"

"You damn girl."

The old man glared at her and said, "He hasn't even accepted you as his apprentice yet, and you're already defending him and yelling at Grandfather without even considering whether he wants you as his apprentice or not."

"If Miss Que'er doesn't mind, I'm willing to do it."

The barefoot man said hurriedly.

Su Heting had previously suggested that he use his medical skills to get in touch with Su Que, and Su Que had indeed become much more familiar with him.

He had also mentioned taking her as his disciple, but Su Que refused. For some reason, her attitude towards him became even colder during the journey.

He didn't expect that she would defend him just now, so after the old man said those words, he spoke quickly.

Seeing Su Que remained silent, he felt very uneasy.

The old man tapped Su Que's forehead and said, "Why are you silent again? Do you think I am not worthy of being your master?

His medical skills are much better than yours. If you don't respond, Grandfather will respond for you. It's a waste not to take advantage of such an opportunity."

After he finished speaking, he said to the barefooted man, "The old man agreed on her behalf. She will choose an auspicious day to become his disciple.

Once you become his disciple, you will be his master. Since the word "master" has the character "father" in it, you must treat me like your own daughter from now on."

Seeing that Su Que had no objection, Lai Chijiao quickly suppressed his excitement and replied, "Yes."

At the same time, he looked at the old man calmly, always feeling that he knew something, but for what happened today, he was grateful to the old man in his heart.

So, remembering the old man's instructions early in the morning, he carefully checked the things he was going to use and then put them into his cloth bag.

Su Heting didn't expect that the old man would suddenly come up with a plan and go into the mountains to hunt today.

But he had promised his second uncle that he would go with him to the military camp, and then he heard the old man say, "I've asked, and this mountain is very safe. It's a rare visit for you, and we'll be back in a couple of days. You should stay with the Zhou family."

Su Heting thought about Qiao Xi and the old man's skills, and that they were accompanied by some followers. Since it was the Zhou family's territory, nothing would go wrong. So he followed the old man's lead and did not go with them.

But he never dreamed that in the afternoon, Changsheng and Xiaoman would come back crying and say that something had happened to Qiao Xi.
