Si Tian Guan

Qu Chenzhou remembered that he should have escaped, and when he heard the first sentence, his feet were ready to escape.

But that voice didn't seem to let him go, following him like a shadow.

"Shen Zhou, we are your parents, don't you remember? This is your second brother..."

"Even if you don't know your father, but look at your mother, how much you look like her..."

Even the two young men standing aside called him in a low voice.

"Third brother."

"Third brother..."

Everyone in the downtown area stood still, watching this happy confession, only his hysterical despair was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.

I can only think of running away.

But his legs couldn't move as if they had fallen from a piece of iron. He frantically tried to hold on to something, but his hands were empty.

Everyone seemed to be standing on the bank of the river to watch the excitement, only he was trapped on the isolated island, watching the river rise and fall.

until it overwhelms him.

"help me……"

He choked up silently in the river, and before he fell over, he seemed to hear the sound of galloping horseshoes from the other side of the long street.

"Chong Ming. He forgot all the pretense he had tried so hard to reach out and touch that person: "Save me. "

The river completely engulfed him with bizarre images.

Qu Chenzhou didn't know whether he was standing on the river bank or looking at the people on the bank from under the river. He was deeply impressed by this river, and this was the place where he started his nightmare in ignorance.

The neighbor's child drowned here.

He had thought more than once in the past that it would be great if he was the one who drowned here, but now, he wants to cross this river.

Others are waiting for him.

There was noise coming from behind, like the footsteps of countless people.

Qu Chenzhou remembered, this is the Qisheng Building, and under his knees is the corridor he just wiped, a pair of immature hands are holding the rag, which is bruised and purple from the cold.

I also remembered which winter it was.

But before he jumped up and escaped, someone kicked him on the back, and he curled up into a ball, lying on the ground, enduring the rain of fists and feet.

Du Quan's voice yelled above his head: "Where do you want to go! No one wants you bastard! You have no home at all!"

"No..." He scratched the ground with his hands, and crawled forward with difficulty: "I have a home! Someone is waiting for me!"

"You have no home!" Countless mocking voices pierced the eardrums: "Your parents don't want you! Even if you are beaten to death, they won't take a second look at you!"

"I don't want them either!" Qu Chenzhou desperately raised his head and shouted hoarsely: "They are not my family! I don't want them!"

As if frightened by his hysteria, the surroundings suddenly became silent, but it was colder than before, and the holed firewood house was filled with the cold autumn wind.

I have been freezing for a long time, and I don't even know whether my body is cold or hurt.

The smell of food awakened him leisurely, warm pancakes were stuffed into his hand through the window, someone leaned half his body in, wrapped him in a cloak, and held his frozen hand in his palm.

A familiar voice called him frequently—Shen Zhou!Shipwreck!look at me!

He looked up along that hand, and in that familiar gentle gaze, tears fell like rain.

Chongming!

Decades of pain have been restrained by this name, he wants to cross that river!He wants to hold that hand!

"Doctor Qin! What should I do!" Someone asked anxiously with sobs, "Why is he vomiting blood again! Didn't you say it's all right?"

Sure enough, there was warm liquid extending from the corner of the mouth to the ear, which was gently wiped away.

His mouth was full of fishy sweetness, and he wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't even open his eyes.

"Don't panic!" The old mansion doctor's voice was calm and calm: "He was just getting angry for a while, it would be good if he could spit out this mouthful of blood."

"That's right, it's okay, it's going to be okay," someone wished they could lie down on the whole body, whispering tremblingly in their ears: "I'm the one who deserves to die, I didn't watch them sink the boat, you must be okay!"

"My son, let's go, you've been here for too long, it will only make him uneasy," the doctor advised from the side: "My son, go and do your own work."

Qu Chenzhou knew that that hand was still refusing to let go, and his only sobriety reminded him that Chongming really shouldn't stay here, even Doctor Qin should leave as soon as possible.

But his whole body was so stiff that he couldn't control it. He didn't even know whether he was awake or in a coma, so he could only curl his fingers as hard as he could.

He knew that Chongming would definitely understand.

Xu Xu whispered in the ear to speed up, as if there were endless instructions, and finally left reluctantly.

Tiredness and sleepiness haunted him, dragging him into the dark end.

Perhaps the remaining warmth in his hand gave people the security of being protected, without the pain of the past to disturb him, he slept soundly this time, and when he opened his eyes again, the sun was already crawling towards the sky.

Steward Lin was dozing on his stomach on the chair beside the bed, when he heard the sound of him turning over and getting out of bed, he woke up suddenly, and came to help him.

"Shen Zhou, is it better? Is there any discomfort? Are you hungry? I'll pass the food on now!"

Seeing his haggard face, Qu Chenzhou thought that at his age, if he stayed up all night, his body would not be able to take it anymore.

"I'm fine, go and rest, don't worry."

Steward Lin couldn't rest assured, so he went to deliver the breakfast and came in, solemnly took out a few sealed letters from his arms, and pushed them over the table.

"Shen Zhou, this is for you. The doctor told you that after you drink the medicine, you should calm down and be careful not to burn yourself seriously."

Qu Chenzhou glanced at the fancy patterns on the letters, and naturally understood who left them. He was anxious in his heart, how could he wait so long for Manager Lin to leave before he left, and he immediately tore open the seal.

In fact, in this matter, Chongming didn't have to feel so guilty towards him at all, King Huai's move was completely unexpected to them before.

As early as when Changshui Town was destroyed, Liu Chongming sent someone to find his parents and brothers. Although he was afraid of irritating him, he didn't tell him immediately after finding the person, and he also revealed it more or less in the subsequent chat...

There is no peace in the capital, and Zhuang Ziyuan, who has resettled people, is on the north bank of the Xijiang River. It should not have attracted attention.

But recently, the two sides have been fighting fiercely in secret, not only with real swords and guns, but also with disputes over money and territory.

The other party was unscrupulous, but the Liu family knew that there were people who were very important to the son in this village.

This unnaturalness alone led to a catastrophe—after half a month of calm, people quietly assembled and attacked Zhuangzi, and the inner and outer guards, including a group of servants, did not leave a single person alive.

The people inside were robbed.

Qu Chenzhou is the third child, even if there are no more people in the family after he left, there are still two younger brothers, not to mention Chong Ming said, the family has added a younger sister.

But now only the parents, one brother and one brother showed up, and it was obvious that someone was taken hostage by Mu Jingyan.

Even if Liu Chongming came in time and brought the four members of the Qu family back to the other courtyard, what should have happened has already happened, and the next thing can't be stopped.

Sure enough, it was a deadly blow, especially when the emperor was paying filial piety for the empress dowager.

I just asked Manager Lin, since he fainted in the downtown area, he has been in a coma for two or three days.There are different opinions and speculations in the market, and everyone is waiting to see how the storm will subside.

It is said that people from the palace have come to visit him several times, and in the letters from Ling He and Rong Jiu'an, they all told him to be cautious in his words and deeds later.

Unsurprisingly, Yushitai found a place to start the impeachment, beating the emperor's filial piety.

Everyone can be a living Bodhisattva without the knife being cut on him, let alone someone like the emperor.

If this hypocritical feast of gongs and drums wants to continue beautifully, he can only be used as a sacrifice...?

It is absolutely impossible for him to be filial!

Steward Lin appeared at the door again, with a worried face, but it was difficult to say anything because of the people from the palace behind him.

Qu Chenzhou smiled, and waved his hand to repel the servants who brought the gold-woven clothes. He only wore the official uniform, tucked his long hair into the hat, and then put on a cloak and went out.

Outside the door are all watching the excitement and whispering, wrapped in the cold spring wind, the coolness is overwhelming.

In the warm pavilion is a fire built for him, on which sits Yan Luo who is trying to judge him, and the few people kneeling on the ground are his heart-piercing death locks.

He knew that although he was in Chongming's hands, Chongming was the one who should avoid suspicion with him the most, not to mention imprisoning them and not allowing them to see the emperor, not even threatening them.

"Chen Qu Shenzhou. Qu Shenzhou bowed down to Yan Luo: "I have seen the emperor. "

Emperor Yu's fingers slid the wrist beads nimbly, and after one counted to ten, the emerald and transparent wooden jade pendant slipped through his fingers, and he said calmly: "I heard that you fell ill a few days ago. Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you, the emperor, for your concern. I have nothing to do with you. I haven't been with the emperor for a few days. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Someone on the side sneered: "Qu Chenzhou! The emperor is currently mourning for the empress dowager. What qualifications do you have to accompany the emperor?"

"Doctor Xu, what does this mean?" Qu Chenzhou asked without looking sideways, "The emperor ordered me to accompany me to observe the filial piety, do you have any doubts about the emperor's words, or are you encouraging me to disobey?"

The man was choked and shouted angrily: "Qu Sitian, don't ask questions knowingly! Everyone knows that your biological parents have worked hard to find you, but you ignore them! You are a son of man, a beast!" How could it be that the emperor keeps his filial piety!"

"Birth parents?" Qu Chenzhou sneered, "Where are they?"

The person kneeling aside looked up hesitantly.

Seeing that Emperor Yu didn't say anything, Dr. Xu was shocked, and stepped forward a few steps: "They come from Changshui Town, Wu'an Prefecture. The man's surname is Qu. Look..."

Although the woman he was pointing to was over forty years old, she was naturally beautiful, even in a cloth dress, with low eyebrows and no pretentious gestures, she could still see an undisguised charm.

That appearance is six to seven points like Qu Shenzhou.

"Look at this Quning family, do you dare to say that she is not your biological mother?"

"Doctor Xu be careful," another person said slowly, "There are many people who look similar in the world. You can't say that you look so similar to Qu Sitian, just say that you are your biological mother."

Dr. Xu replied with a smile: "Master Liao, that's enough. There are indeed people with similar appearance, but Qu Sitian is beautiful and outstanding. Who else can be so similar to Qu Sitian?"

Qu Chenzhou said coldly: "Maybe I can still have your mother."

Doctor Xu was stunned for a moment before he was sure that he had heard correctly. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare to make mistakes, so he could only suppress his anger and scold: "Qu Chenzhou, don't be ignorant of good and evil!"

"What is it anyway?" Qu Chenzhou asked: "Is it just to meet wild parents on the road? If Dr. Xu has this preference, I can arrange a few more pairs, and I can recognize as many as I want. I hope Xu Da will not be ignorant." Anyway."

Dr. Xu was at a loss for words for a while, glanced to the side, and suddenly smiled: "Your official is so confused, I forgot to ask—you are bold and unreasonable, who gave you the courage to marry Qu Sitian without evidence or proof? With reason!"

The man hurriedly responded: "The grassroots don't dare! The grassroots name is Qu Zhiye, and the third son's name is Qu Shenzhou. When Shenzhou was about three years old, he became seriously ill, and his eyes became one gold and one blue. The grassroots would never Admit it!"

Standing aside, the Minister of Dali Temple lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Just go to the street and ask about what you said, everyone will know."

"Also!" Qu Zhiye hastily raised his voice: "Cao Min remembers! There is a birthmark on Shen Zhou's lower back!"

"Birthmark?" Qu Chenzhou stood up abruptly, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, he untied his official uniform, then tore off his jacket, slipped it to his waist, and turned around: "Is it a birthmark?"

Next to the ridge groove, a brand mark of the word "Ming" is clearly visible.

Liu Chongming stood aside and never spoke, even resisting the urge to turn his face away.

"Birthmark?" Qu Chenzhou asked again in a cold voice: "I don't know you, I just want to know, what is the reason for your courtship now?"

"Status? Money?"

He asked in a hateful voice, and moved forward step by step.

"What if I don't have anything now? What if I'm still a slave, being belittled at will?"

"If I resign from the official position now, blind my eyes, and disfigure my face, will you still recognize me? Are you willing to raise such a useless monster like me?"

Qu Zhiye was at a loss for others, but he was full of confidence when facing his son.

"Shen Zhou! What do you mean by that! Are you blaming us? Back then we had no other choice, and your mother still misses you all the time!"

"What kind of waste monster, don't you think about it, if the Qu family didn't give birth to you and raise you, would you be able to have the status you are today?"

"Now that the whole family is reunited, what are you doing with these bad words..."

"Shut up!" Qu Chenzhou shouted violently.

He knew who he was speaking to, and he also knew that that person would definitely listen to him, and he would endure no matter what.

"Shen Zhou," Emperor Yu narrowed his eyes, and finally said, "You accompany me to burn incense and meditate every day, and you should feel something in your heart, knowing that filial piety comes first."

Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips slightly, knelt down on both knees without saying a word.

"Before you came, he had already told me about your past. There is no father and mother who does not love their children. Even if they were wrong in the past, they always gave birth to you. There is hard work and hard work. Now you are grown up too , Let the past be the past."

Qu Chenzhou curled up his fingers, and asked softly: "The emperor wants the minister to recognize them...Is that so? But the minister doesn't know them..."

"Don't talk about children's anger, just go over and call and kowtow, what kind of feud does the family have overnight." Emperor Yu sneered: "Go."

I thought it would be like this.

For the emperor, this is the most convenient way to resolve this turmoil - it's nothing more than a title, he is in the second rank, and it's not like he can't afford to support a few idlers.

As long as he opens his mouth and kowtows, no one will bother the emperor, so why not do it?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qu Chenzhou, who were secretly proud and worried.

"Born but not raised, severed fingers can be returned." He stretched out his hands: "It is absolutely impossible for me to recognize them!"
