"In the fifth year of Shengyuan, Qiguo...Prince Ji Yuan was in charge of the emperor's seal and supervised the country. King Gongxian and his henchmen had the intention of rebelling against him. In the same year, droughts occurred frequently in the south of the Xun River in Qiguo, and the people were in dire straits...Looking at the eyes of the sky at night, Only by sacrificing one's life for one's country can natural disasters be quelled..."

Si He suddenly felt a little flustered, he quickly turned to the next page, and saw that the handwriting became more and more scribbled, perhaps because the situation was more urgent at that time, but he just read it randomly when he heard Ji Wanghuai's voice from upstairs. "Sihe—someone is coming—"

He couldn't help but take a second look at the current situation, so by accident, he stuffed this roll of notes in his arms, ran out quickly, and climbed to the ground by the soft ladder.

Together with Ji Wanghuai, he moved the board back to its original position, cleaned up the candles and all the small objects, and he was slightly relieved.

"How is it? Are you watching?" Ji Wanghuai asked with concern, "Someone outside reported that the father is here." "Ready."

Si He nodded, looked around, and saw a bright yellow figure passing by the window, "I'll talk about it later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an announcement from the eunuch outside the Star Observation Hall, Ji Wanghuai opened the door and saluted, Si He also cupped his hands.The difference from Chengguo is that in Qiguo, the magician does not have to bow down to the emperor.

"Young Master Si—" King Wen was already old, and he was a little out of breath after walking such a long distance, "Gu once ordered them to keep the Mu Mansion in its original state, and now what you see is what it used to be."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Si He bowed his hands again, his words were more sincere than before.

King Wen must have noticed it too, and he couldn't help but kindly said: "If Mr. Si has anything else you want to know, just ask Gu."

Since Si He is the descendant of the Marquis of Anping, King Wen thought about conferring some title of prince or something, but then he changed his mind, and no title could compare to the title of magician that Mr. Si had brought with him.

That would be better than bestowing fertile fields, beautiful maidservants, and manors.

"Your Majesty..." Si He looked a little hesitant, he paused for a while, and said in a low voice: "The news that grandfather died for the country, was there a blockade in the palace at that time?"

"Naturally!" King Wen became anxious, and hurriedly said, "The news about the sorcerer is the secret of the palace, and those who know about it are Gu's confidantes."

King Wen didn't doubt why Si He would know about this, maybe in his mind, Si He should know all this.

Si He breathed a sigh of relief, it really was what he thought.

---

Princess Xile was imprisoned in the sky jail for the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the house next to Prince Yu's mansion was vacant.King Wen then bestowed the house on Si He, as well as a beautiful maidservant with fertile fields, gold, silver and jade.

"By the way, I also brought this." When the two of them walked to the side of the palace, Si He suddenly touched his chest and took out a scroll book, "I just found it in the secret room, I almost forgot."

"This is written by... the Marquis of Anping?" Ji Wanghuai was taken aback, but Si He suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him to the next house with a smile, "Just in case, don't let others see It's good."

The house was cleaned very clean, but since Si He hadn't lived in it yet, and the servants weren't in the house, it was eerily empty.

Si He closed the door furtively, then dragged Ji Wanghuai into the room, drew the curtain and lit the oil lamp.Watching this series of actions, Ji Wanghuai felt helpless, "Are you still watching?"

"Oh, don't worry!" Si He pressed Ji Wanghuai's shoulders, forcing him to sit down, then found a stool to sit beside him, and then said: "I finally know the cause of grandfather's death."

"Why?" Ji Wanghuai frowned, although he had heard rumors that it was King Wen who forced the Marquis of Anping to death, but he had always been skeptical.

"During the Shengyuan period, King Wen had just succeeded to the throne." Si He sighed, and said slowly, "The rebels and thieves in the court fought against each other, and natural disasters and poverty occurred outside the court. To die for the country, and to quell the drought with the power of the gods."

Ji Wanghuai was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for Qiguo in the future."

"Oh!" Si He's ears were slightly red, he touched the tip of his nose, sat on Ji Wanghuai's lap, looked at him, and said with a smile: "If my humble life alone can make a country healthy and prosperous, And why don't I do it?"

"No." Ji Wanghuai frowned, and said seriously, "I'm not going to let the world depend on your life to support me, besides, your life is also my life."

Si He's heart warmed, he coughed lightly, Ji Wanghuai's eyes were too fierce, he couldn't bear it for a while, and quickly changed the subject, "Let's look at the last content of this book first, maybe my parents escaped The reason for Qiguo."

……

It was already evening when Si He returned to the Si Mansion. Seeing this, Jiuqing bumped Yu Jiang with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Just now I saw the prince and Si He came back, why did you come out of the house now?"

"Shut up!" Yu Jiang also said in a low voice, "Will the prince not be allowed to chat with Si He?"

Chat?

Jiuqing felt very puzzled, why did he chat in this empty house?No one else?

When Si He returned to the mansion, he saw Qi Shu hurried in from outside the house, "Mr. Si, the eldest princess has returned to Linyuan."

"So fast?" Si He was a little surprised, why Shang Rusheng was in such a hurry and didn't even say hello, it didn't seem like her style at all.

"The eldest princess left a letter." Qi Shu handed the letter to him, and said: "The eldest princess also said that she will explain to Princess Hui'an, so you don't have to worry."

Si He nodded, and after receiving the letter, he only glanced at it briefly, then sighed, "Let's go, find your lord."

Si Lu happened to be in the garden at this time, and when she saw this, she ran over with her skirt in her hand, worried: "Si He, did something happen to Chengguo?"

"Sister Lu, you have to watch your stomach!" Si He hurriedly supported Si Lu, and comforted him, "It's all right, it's just that Chengguo sent troops to attack Linyuan."

"This..." Si Lu frowned, "Does King Yu also intend to attack Chengguo?"

Si He kept silent, but repeatedly told her to pay attention to her body.

"He'er, if—" Si Lu said urgently: "I mean if, if Chengguo is destroyed in the future, can you, can you go to the prison and save the prince!"

"Of course! Of course!" Si He quickly responded, "Sister Lu, don't worry! If the prince can be rescued, I will definitely save it!"

He knew who Si Lu was most worried about now, but he was afraid that the final result would be unsatisfactory.

Si He talked with Ji Wanghuai about noon, although he didn't understand the formation of troops and the strategy of selecting generals, but he had a premonition in his heart that what Ji Wanghuai listened to would always be right.

"I'm going to ask His Majesty for orders, and come with you."

Now Chengguo has sent soldiers and horses to march towards Linyuan, and the number of forbidden troops left in the imperial city is limited.

"But if we take the road of Chengguo, I'm afraid it will take a long time. At that time, there will be so many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid we will be exposed first."

"Don't take the road." Si He smiled, and pointed to a certain point on the topographical map, "Go here to see Moon Mountain."

Guanyue Mountain is the closest route between Chengguo and Qiguo. The terrain is remote and the mountain roads are complicated.

"I am very familiar with Guanyue Mountain, you just follow me," Si He thought for a while, and then said: "I have a good way to avoid people's eyes and ears."

At this time, the sky is already a little pale, and a new day is about to come again.

Jiuqing Yu Jiang was driven to rest by Ji Wanghuai, Si He drank a sip of tea and became a little more sober.It was chilly spring outside, Ji Wanghuai saw this, took a thin shirt and put it on Si He.

"Your grandfather sent you away from Qi Country because he didn't want you to get involved in such disputes one day and lose your life."

"It doesn't matter." Si He smiled, "It's just that I may be accused of treason by the people of Chengguo again."

"The world is changing, and everything is in order. I can't blame you." Ji Wanghuai rubbed his head and smiled lightly, "If you want to blame, you can only blame their new emperor for not fulfilling the duties of a monarch."

Si He chuckled, hugged Ji Wanghuai tightly, buried his head in his neck, and said in a muffled voice, "Ji Wanghuai—"

"Ok?"

"I really like you so much."

"That's great, me too."
