clean

Follow the maid who leads the way into Granny Yaotai's dormitory. The flowers and plants are different from other dormitories. Perhaps because Granny Yaotai travels outside all the year round, the layout of the dormitory also has the style of Chengguo and Qiguo.

"Young Master Si, the eldest princess is already in the inner palace." The maid took him outside the gate of the palace, then bowed respectfully to Fushen, and then slowly backed away.

Si He raised his eyebrows secretly, this Linyuan was really different from Chengguo, if it was in Chengguo, the inner hall of the female family in the palace would never allow men to enter.

He changed into a dark red shirt, his black hair was tied high, and he looked energetic.With the sleeves flying, she has already stepped inside, as expected, the Yaotai mother-in-law is sitting in the hall, holding a book and reading it carefully.

"Master." Si He saluted and asked, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"Come—" Yaotai Granny just handed him a few letters, and said casually: "Let's read slowly—"

Although it can be seen that the Yaotai mother-in-law took good care of it, the letter paper has begun to turn yellow and become brittle due to its age, and the margins have also begun to curl.Si He didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that if he was not careful, it would be broken.

He read it slowly, memorizing each word in his heart.It was as if what he was holding was not a letter, but a living person.During the time he was reading the letter, Yaotai's mother-in-law did not speak, and the palace was very quiet, not a single sound could be heard.

The atmosphere became oppressive for no reason.

Si He originally thought that when he saw these letters, he would not be moved in his heart, but when he saw the familiar name, he still had a strange feeling in his heart.

He gradually learned about the relationship between Yaotai mother-in-law and his grandfather and his family.

His grandfather, Mu Yungui, was once the magician of King Wen of Qi Kingdom.When King Wen came to the throne in his teens, he accompanied King Wen, and he could be regarded as his strict teacher and helpful friend.But perhaps because it involved the secrets of the two countries, Mu Yungui kept secretive about many things and avoided talking about them. He just talked about some simple recent situations, and seemed to be familiar with Yaotai Granny.

"I have known your grandfather for a long time." When Granny Yaotai said these words, there was a trace of tenderness in her eyes, as if she was recalling an unforgettable and unspeakable past event. "At that time, I was Princess Hui'an of Linyuan. It happened that King Wen of Qi Kingdom ascended the throne and came to Linyuan to seek an alliance. He is the senior brother of Jiang Yunxiu, the star official of Linyuan, and he also came with King Wen, so we knew each other. "

Si He frowned, but didn't speak.

Hearing Yaotai's mother-in-law say this, it seems that she had a marriage with her grandfather?

"But soon, he was given a marriage by King Wen, and married a princess named Xu Ziyuan." Yaotai's mother-in-law never married, and Si He had already vaguely guessed the reason.

He had never heard of his grandmother Xu Ziyuan's name, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely ask Ji Wanghuai.

According to Yaotai's mother-in-law, she must have placed her affection on his grandfather.Although Si He has never seen Mu Yungui, but from the handsome handwriting and words on the letter paper, it is not difficult to see that this is a refined and humorous man, besides, he is a magician above [-] people. The admiration of Princess Hui'an.

"We haven't been in touch since he got married." Granny Yaotai's expression was a bit lonely, perhaps because her sweetheart had a home, even after more than 30 years, this was still the loneliness she didn't want to mention.

"Gradually, the princess became pregnant, and I heard that the baby was a young son, and this is your father."

From Mu Yun to Mu Xingshu, the years during this period are enough to turn the vicissitudes of life into mulberry fields.

Princess Hui'an still remembers it in her heart. It is not difficult to imagine that in the long years, Mu Yungui is her long-awaited thoughts and expectations in this deep palace.

The most difficult thing to let go in the world is a word of love.

Looking at Granny Yaotai's old face and gray temple hair, Si He choked up for a moment, not knowing what to say to soothe her mood.

"Not long after King Wen ascended the throne, civil strife in Qiguo lasted for two years. It coincided with a natural disaster and the people were in dire straits." Granny Yaotai looked out the window and frowned slightly. She was already struggling to recall such a long time. "However, King Wen blamed all this on your grandfather."

Speaking of this, Granny Yaotai became a little annoyed. She took a deep breath and fetched a letter, but her voice was still trembling.

"It's King Wen! He forced your grandfather to death! He doesn't even want to keep your grandfather's body!"

Si He squinted his eyes and took the letter from Granny Yaotai. When he read the contents of the letter, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Mu Yungui said in the letter——

Natural disasters occur frequently in the country of Qi, and rebellious ministers seek power. Only the "God's Eye" dies for the country, can he change his fate against the sky.

I also hope that Princess Hui'an can leave a place of shelter for her son Mu Xingshu and her daughter-in-law Bailing.

……

The expedition order had been passed to the military camp, Ji Wanghuai settled the Si family, went back to the palace and ordered people to pack their luggage, and was about to go to the palace to bid farewell to King Wen and the crown prince.

This trip, he couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had in his heart.

It's just that if Si He saw that his former hometown was about to be trampled and occupied by his own army, Si He must feel very uncomfortable.But if they don't act in advance, perhaps they will be the next to destroy the country.

He gritted his teeth, only to feel that his steps became heavier.

"King Yu, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the study."

Ji Wanghuai's cold poison has healed up a lot, and now that spring is gradually climbing up the branches, his body has also become much better, and he no longer needs to wear that black fur-collared cloak.

Pushing open the door of the study room, he first knelt down and bowed, only to feel a pair of hands help him up, King Wen's excited voice trembled slightly: "Wang Huai, Gu found the descendant of Marquis Anping!"

Ji Wanghuai was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that King Wen was talking about Mu Yungui—the Marquis of Anping whom he had searched for in Chengguo for a long time but failed.

It is rumored that this master magician has a very deep friendship with King Wen, not only helping King Wen quell the civil strife, but also helping Qiguo avoid natural disasters, but in the end he died with his wife, which became a regret in King Wen's life.

"Who is it?"

He gradually felt lucky for King Wen in his heart, at least he solved a problem for King Wen in his lifetime.Inexplicably, he remembered that Si He went to Linyuan to seek his background, and he only hoped that everything goes well for him.

Si He did not tell Ji Wanghuai about his relationship with the Mu family.The main reason was that the time between the two of them was too short; secondly, since they were going to rescue Silu, they were also busy with their own affairs, so they had no skills at all, so naturally they talked very little about other things.

"Come on, this is Marquis Anping's granddaughter." King Wen came out from behind the screen holding a woman's hand, seeing Ji Wanghuai looking at her, she gestured with her hand and smiled apologetically.

—It turned out to be a dumb girl.

Ji Wanghuai nodded, very happy for King Wen, "Father's concern is finally settled."

"Yes!" King Wen looked much better, his face flushed, "I found her alone in Linyuan. Gu should have thought that after Anpinghou passed away, he would entrust his son to Linyuan star official Jiang Yunxiu."

"Jiang Yunxiu?"

Seeing Ji Wanghuai frowning and asking, King Wen was in a good mood today, so he patiently explained: "Linyuan star official Jiang Yunxiu is the junior sister of Marquis Anping."

"Then why did the son of the Marquis of Anping leave Kaiguo?" Ji Wanghuai pondered for a moment, then said: "Besides, how did the father know that this girl is the granddaughter of Marquis of Anping?"

The title of Marquis of Anping was added by King Wen after Mu Yungui passed away.

Although Ji Wanghuai didn't want to dampen King Wen's interest, if someone wanted to inherit the title of Marquis of Anping and impersonate him, he could fish in troubled waters while King Wen was still in high spirits.

"Because this girl has the phoenix hairpin of Princess Yile." King Wen said with a smile, "I know what you are worried about, but that phoenix hairpin was made by the princess himself, not only for Qiguo, but also for Chengguo, Linyuan may not even be able to find a second one."

"As for why Mu Xingshu left Kaiguo..." King Wen sighed, "Perhaps it was because of the serious civil strife, so he had to leave his hometown to escape."

Ji Wanghuai couldn't answer for a while, but he secretly glanced at the granddaughter of Marquis Anping, she looked pretty, but he always felt a little strange.

Perhaps it was the woman's every frown and smile that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"I've made up my mind. Miss Yuzhi has a honest and honest temperament, is demure and dignified, and has the air of a princess of Yile. Thinking of her lonely life, she was named the princess, and her title is joyful, and she has a thousand households in the city."

Ji Wanghuai's heart skipped a beat, some princesses nowadays don't even have fiefdoms and food towns, they only have a noble title, the favored princess and princess may even get a hundred households food towns and the annual silver taels.

This Princess Xile, who came out halfway, was so favored by the emperor.

"Also, it's the first time Princess Xile has returned to Qiguo, and besides, both her biological parents have passed away." King Wen sighed again, feeling even more guilty. If he had found them a few years earlier, he might have been able to save Mu Xingshu. "The prince already has a concubine, so it's inconvenient to take care of Princess Xile. I don't worry about letting other princes do this. You can take good care of Princess Xile for Gu, which can be regarded as resolving the sin for Gu."

Ji Wanghuai reflexively wanted to refuse, but King Wen stared at him firmly, knowing that he had no choice but to accept it.

"My son obeys."

……

Ever since he left Granny Yaotai's bedroom that day, Si He always had that scene in his dreams.

The sacrificial altar, the raging fire, the boiling crowd, and the backs of those two jumping into the fire.

It turns out that the dreams I once had after being in danger on the hunting ground did not appear by chance, but actually existed.

Those were his grandfather and grandmother.

I heard from Yaotai's mother-in-law that his grandfather's "divine eyes" are tens of millions of times better than Jiang Yunxiu's today. What an amazing person he must be.

Granny Yaotai also said that her eyebrows and eyes vaguely resembled those of her grandfather, so what kind of appearance should her grandfather have looked like when she was young?

For Mu Xingshu and Bai Ling, he was not very curious.

"Si He, let's go." Shang Rusheng was waiting for him outside the palace gate. This was also the order of Princess Hui'an, ordering Shang Rusheng to take Si He to play in Linyuan City, perhaps to imply that Si He would always live here. .

Now that Si He's right hand has recovered, he can leave whenever he wants.

But in order to enhance friendship with the eldest princess, so as to avoid future needs, Si He readily went to the appointment.

Fortunately, Shang Rusheng is different from other women, she is forthright and cheerful, and lives freely and unrestrainedly, Si He realized that maybe it would be a good thing to make friends with her.

The streets of Linyuan are still as busy as ever, but to Sihe's surprise, almost everyone recognizes Shang Rusheng.No matter where they went, someone would always greet Shang Rusheng cordially.It seemed that what they met was not the current eldest princess or the future prince, but the little girl next door.

Just as Si He wanted to make some jokes, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"You are... Sihe!"
