According to the rule passed down by the ancestors, parents should serve filial piety for three years after death.After the filial piety, the empress dowager was buried, and Si Lixiao immediately rode his horse to the northern suburbs palace.The people in the palace who were supposed to be lying down had probably not received the news, and the emperor had disappeared by then.

"Where is Concubine Qin?" Si Lixiao clenched the whip in his hand.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Concubine Qin has gone to the back mountain." Zhong Yufeng, a servant who was kneeling down, said slightly tremblingly.

"To the back mountain?" Si Lixiao stared wide-eyed, "You actually let Concubine Qin go somewhere else?"

"Your Majesty," Yufeng hurriedly kowtowed, "the king of Beijiang is watching beside your empress, I want to come..."

A cold light flashed in Si Lixiao's eyes, "The King of Northern Border?"

"Yes," replied Yufeng who was still lying on the ground, "My lady said she wanted to go to a place, so the King of Beijiang took her there."

He asked the king of Northern Xinjiang to guard Fu Ziqin on his behalf, but he didn't give him any other power.

Si Lixiao threw away his whip and walked towards the back mountain without saying a word.

The bright flames danced in the iron basin, illuminating Fu Ziqin's pale face like sandpaper, who was kneeling by the basin, to have some color.Si Yunxiu added some paper money to the brazier, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.Mu Xifang sat cross-legged outside the door, looking at the clear blue sky.

Putting all the paper money in his hand into the brazier, Fu Ziqin looked at the flames without any change on his face, "Thank you, King of Beijiang."

"I think you are seriously injured and haven't recovered yet, so you won't be able to escape far." Si Yunxiu said in a calm tone.

"Not only thank you for letting me burn paper for my wife," Fu Ziqin's eyes reflected the appearance of flames, "thank you for taking care of my child."

These words are not just as simple as gratitude, but also asked about the child's situation in a roundabout way.

Si Yunxiu sighed slightly, "He was born with a lack of Qi, and I'm afraid there will be many disasters and illnesses in the future."

Fu Ziqin twitched in his heart, wondering if it was his own evil debt that made his son weak when he was born.

"He will follow me back to the north and become my child." Si Yunxiu said calmly.

Fu Ziqin turned pale with shock, "King of Northern Xinjiang, I think..."

He stopped in the middle of the conversation, it was a great fortune for this man to save his child, he had no room to comment.

"He is of royal blood, I can't let him wander outside." The king of Beijiang glanced at Fu Ziqin.

Fu Ziqin saw determination in those indifferent eyes, so he could only lower his eyelids silently.The northern Xinjiang is dry and waterless, and the wind and sand are extremely strong. I don't know if his children can bear it.

"Now that King Kangnan has passed away, only His Majesty and the two sons of the King of Beijiang are left to the late Emperor." Fu Ziqin said with some worry in his tone, "Now that the King of Beijiang is General Tiance, I don't know if Your Majesty is on guard."

"Your Majesty will naturally be on guard," Si Yunxiu said calmly, "When the northern border is at peace, it will be the day when I will disarm and return to the fields."

Fu Ziqin looked at Si Yunxiu with some disbelief. It is really puzzling that a prince with high achievements not only has no intention of being on the throne, but even has no intention of going to court.

Si Yunxiu saw his doubts, and said with a light smile, "I only learned one thing from my mother - be wise and protect yourself."

After the paper money in the iron basin was burned out, it was blown by the wind and then floated into the air, and then fell down again.

"My mother came from a low family background and was not favored by my father. Even after I was born, I was only promoted to the position of beauty by Empress Yu." Si Yunxiu glanced at the ashes that fell on the ground, "Plus Within two years, the father brought back the first queen mother, and soon deprived the title of Queen Yu, and the mother who was attached to Queen Yu was despised everywhere."

Fu Ziqin sighed endlessly, the dog emperor not only ruined their Taoyuan, but also left the entire harem in the cold, making everyone feel uneasy.

"I was also young and frivolous back then. I felt that it was a shame for a dignified prince to be a man with his tail between his legs. I joined the army at the age of 12 and went to northern Xinjiang, where no brother would want to set foot." Si Yunxiu's voice became deeper and deeper, "Mother wrote several letters. I believed that she often coughed and felt unwell, so she asked me to return to Beijing quickly. I wanted to make military achievements and didn't pay much attention to it, but not long after, my mother contracted tuberculosis, was confinement in a small courtyard outside the palace, and died of a serious illness."

Apart from surprise, Fu Ziqin had a look of pity on his face, and he didn't know what to say to comfort him.

"After I received the letter and went back to Beijing, I could only see my mother's tomb." Si Yunxiu's voice rose a little for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. It’s better to just spend time with your loved ones.”

Fu Ziqin sighed, "Your mother is really thinking about you."

Si Yunxiu nodded, got up and said, "It's time to go back."

Fu Ziqin also wanted to stand up, but his legs became numb after kneeling for too long. Just as Si Yunxiu wanted to help him, he heard Mu Xifang outside the door shouting: "See Your Majesty."

Si Yunxiu quickly withdrew his hand, and Fu Ziqin stood up by himself.

Si Lixiao strode into the temple, Si Yunxiu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty."

"Concubine Qin and the King of Northern Xinjiang are here, for whom are they worshiping?" Si Lixiao asked coldly, looking at the brazier.

"For the Queen Mother." Fu Ziqin did not avoid suspicion.

"Concubine Qin really cares about my mother's queen." Si Lixiao stepped forward and walked to Fu Ziqin's side, "Why don't you ask me to add a few paper money for my mother?"

"It's already burned." Fu Ziqin remained expressionless.

"Since this is the case, there is no other way," Si Lixiao sighed and shook his head, "It's not that my son is unfilial."

Whether the emperor was filial or not, the other three knew it well, so they didn't talk to each other.

"The paper money is exhausted, should Concubine Qin, who wants to come to me, return to the palace?" Si Lixiao said with a smile.

Seeing the emperor's smiling face, Fu Ziqin felt disgusted, walked around him and walked outside.Si Lixiao looked at his family who had just appointed Tiance Admiral's brother, Si Yunxiu just lowered his head and cupped his hands again.

The four returned to the palace, and Si Yunxiu and Mu Xifang retreated first.

Si Lixiao took off his cloak and handed it to the attendant, and sat on the rattan chair with a big face.Fu Ziqin stood ten steps away from him, and also found a seat to sit down.

"Are you paying homage to the queen mother with the king of Northern Xinjiang?" Si Lixiao sternly emphasized on the title of the emperor's brother.

"Didn't you let him watch me?" Fu Ziqin asked back.

"It's been a month since I saw my teeth sharpen and my mouth sharpened a lot." Si Lixiao raised his eyebrows.

Fu Ziqin snorted, a rabbit could bite when it was in a hurry, let alone him.

"Come here." Si Lixiao waved.

Fu Ziqin hesitated for a moment, then stood up and stepped forward.

Si Lixiao pulled him to sit on the rattan chair, and asked, "How are you?"

"You don't need to put on airs, just say what you have to say." Fu Ziqin, who had seen through his nature, frowned coldly.

"I just care about your injury." Si Lixiao still wanted to be hypocritical.

"This injury is all thanks to you." Fu Ziqin twitched the corner of his mouth.

Si Lixiao paused, then smirked and said, "It's not that you said you fell to my child's death."

Fu Ziqin was startled, wondering if he had heard any rumors.

"I asked Brother Huang, and he said that you would have passed out by then, and the child died in childbirth, it was not your fault." Si Lixiao held the back of Fu Ziqin's hand.

Fu Ziqin withdrew his hand, he would rather the King of Beijiang had no explanation and let him and the emperor hate each other.

"Is the injury healed?" Si Lixiao asked again.

"No." Fu Ziqin said viciously.

Si Li Xiaoquan pretended not to hear, nodded and said: "It should be good to be able to climb to the temple on the top of the back mountain."

Fu Ziqin was displeased, since why should he ask him?

"Since the injury is healed, I will take you back soon." Si Lixiao looked at him affectionately.

Fu Ziqin only felt that his arms were covered with goose skin.

"Then you will raise Hua Ning." Si Lixiao threw out a great temptation.

Fu Ziqin asked hesitantly, "What about Empress Li?"

A flash of displeasure flashed across Si Lixiao's eyes, "Now she's just talented, so naturally she can't raise the eldest princess."

Seeing him like this, it might be difficult to take Li Xifan out of the cold palace, Fu Ziqin turned his head and became more and more unwilling to pay attention to him.

"Why are you angry again?" Si Lixiao bent slightly to look for Fu Ziqin's eyes.

Fu Ziqin felt a wave of anger rushing to the top of his head, "Since you have shown the face of a jackal, why do you have to act like a dog now?"

Si Lixiao's smiling face instantly cooled down, "Fu Ziqin, you don't know what's good or bad."

Fu Ziqin shot a chill like a sharp knife in his eyes, "Just kill me."

When being pressed on the rattan chair, Fu Ziqin could only see Si Lixiao's icy face, "Since you don't want tenderness and sweetness, I will do what you want."

Fu Ziqin struggled violently, his eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to explode, "Get out! Get out!"

"Since you killed my son, you must give me one back!" Si Lixiao locked his hands with one palm, and his legs also completely suppressed Fu Ziqin's movements.

"Wishful thinking!" Fu Ziqin wanted to hit Si Lixiao's head with his head, but was stopped by Si Lixiao immediately, and instead restrained his neck so that he could not move.

The discerning attendant immediately closed the door, and Si Lixiao tore Fu Ziqin's thin spring shirt with a few strokes.

"Si Lixiao! Si Lixiao!" Fu Ziqin yelled the name of the person on his body, as if he could escape the fate of being attacked, "I will never give birth to your child! Even if I am pregnant, it will be stillborn middle!"

Si Lixiao's voice was hoarse, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to chain you to death on the couch, so that you won't be able to move except to be favored."

"How dare you!" Fu Ziqin shouted hoarsely.

Si Lixiao, who had the upper hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and only gave him a determined smile back.

Fu Ziqin woke up from the severe pain in his body, and there was no one on the bed except him.

If the emperor was sleeping here, he would definitely not see the sun of tomorrow.

Fu Ziqin stood up indignantly, and the turbid liquid flowed down his thigh.Fu Ziqin's face turned blue and red, and he tore off four pieces of cloth and tied them to his wrists and ankles and began to jump.Now without Zuo Qishang's medicine, he can only rely on such crude methods to avoid pregnancy.

Fu Ziqin didn't return to the couch to lie down until the turbid liquid drained away.Closing his eyes, he saw Hua Ning's charmingly smiling little face, Yi Ang's tiger fur jacket wrapped around him, and Taoyuan, which was strewn with corpses.

Since he is alive, there is only one way to get revenge.

Fu Ziqin grabbed the quilt tightly, remembering the secret letter that Zuo Qishang finally sent——

Close to the King of Northern Border.
