Liu Zhongwen left, and he didn't give her a chance to speak. He knew in his heart what she was going to say, and she knew in her heart what he was afraid of.
Not long after the three of them changed directions, Ling Nian arrived with his carriage. He jumped out of the car and said, "Madam, the young master asked you to go over and meet him."
Zhao Yunniang looked at Qi Zi and wanted to refuse, but Qi Zi said, "Yunniang, go ahead, Yue Ling is with me."
Zhao Yunniang hesitated and said again and again: "Okay, be careful and go back to the academy as soon as possible."
Qi Zi nodded with a smile, watched the carriage go away, and said to Su Yueling with a smile: "Yue Ling, you will definitely be so happy in the future."
Su Yueling blushed when Qi Zi said it, and said in embarrassment: "Let's go, Qi Zi."
Walking towards Yang's grave, both of them were speechless along the way. Su Yueling looked at Qi Zi worriedly and saw that her face was pale and bloodless now.
After leaving the city, we were getting closer and closer to Yang's tomb. From a distance, we saw someone burning incense and bowing in front of Yang's tomb. Qi Zi quickened his pace and walked over.
When the man heard the footsteps, he turned around and shouted in surprise: "Second Miss, it's Second Miss. Oh, Second Miss, it's you who are back."
Qi Zi also recognized her: "Tang Ma, it's really Tang Ma."
"Second Miss." Tang Ma walked over and held Qi Zi in her arms like a mother.
After a while, Tang's mother let go of the wolfberry and said, "Second Miss, are you okay? I have always wanted to see you since my wife passed away."
Qi Zi wiped her tears, pulled Su Yueling over and said, "Mother Tang, this is my good sister, Su Yueling."
"It turns out it's Miss Su, you're polite."
Su Yueling hurriedly supported her and said, "Don't do this, I can't bear it."
"You are the second young lady's sister, so you should." Tang Ma said politely.
Qi Zi stared at Yang's grave, took out the incense stick he had just bought and inserted it in it. He kowtowed three times and said, "Mother Tang, thank you for visiting my mother often."
"Don't say that, Miss Second." Tang Ma helped Qi Zi up and said, "This is all the master's order."
"My father?" Qi Zi couldn't believe it, wondering if he heard wrongly.
"Yes." Tang Ma said seriously: "It's the master. Ever since you entered the palace, the master, perhaps out of guilt, has treated the second lady well. It's just that when the eldest lady is around, the master will pretend to be right."
Madam, please be cruel, in fact, in private, I often go alone to talk to the Second Madam."
Qi Zi really didn't expect it to be like this. Tang Ma continued: "The second lady's condition became more and more serious. The master had no choice but to know that she wanted the second lady, so he went to the palace to ask the emperor for permission to let the second lady
Go home and spend time with the Second Madam."
"What? He went to beg the emperor to let me go home to be with my mother? Why didn't I know about this?"
"Yes, but the Second Madam knows the young lady's temper. If you are asked to come back, you will definitely refuse to come back to the palace. That would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and will result in the whole family being executed, so she refuses to agree to her life or death."
Tang Ma said helplessly.
Qi Zi knelt on the ground and cried, "Mom, why are you so stupid?"
Tang Ma wiped her tears with her sleeves and said, "But the master has reported it to the emperor. After the emperor found out, he personally brought the imperial doctor to see the second lady's illness. However, the second lady's illness was already terminal and could not be cured at all.
Later, the emperor also asked the second lady to let you go out of the palace to accompany her, but the second lady declined the emperor's offer. If you knew that Mr. Liu was married and let you see him dead, the second lady was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it.
So I was left alone to suffer."
"Why has no one ever told me these things?" Qi Zi thought: "Xuan Yi, why have you never told me these things? Are you so willing to let me misunderstand you and make me hate you?"
The surrounding trees were still rustling in the wind, and a few fallen leaves fell from time to time, crying out everything.
Tang's mother took a step forward and said, "Then the second lady passed away, and the master was very sad. He ordered me to come often to clean up the mess around for the second lady. He himself often came over to talk to the second lady. The most common thing he said was that I'm sorry for you.
, wants to make it up to you, but he also knows that the emperor cares about you and will be kind to you, which makes him feel better."
Qi Zi took out the letter written by Mr. Yang from his arms, opened it again, and shed tears gently on it, soaking it through. Then he put it on the incense candle and lit it. The paper ashes fell, and some flew up. He looked at the green smoke.
Rise and disappear into the sky.
Deep in the woods, a red shadow has set in the west, and only some fire clouds are gradually dimming.
Qi Zi wiped her tears, stood up with a smile, and said, "Mom, my daughter knows what to do."
Then he turned around and said, "We are going back, Tang Ma, come with us."
Tang's mother shook her head and said: "No, I am no longer working in the mansion. The master asked me to live nearby so that I can come over often to accompany the second lady."
"Next time you see him, say thank you for me."
"Hey, okay, don't worry, Miss Second, I will definitely tell the master." Tang Ma said with a smile.
Qi Zi took Su Yueling and left. Tang Ma stood there, smiling as her figure gradually disappeared.
On the way back to the city, Qi Zi Shizhong kept smiling. Su Yueling looked at Qi Zi strangely. She had thousands of questions in her heart that she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. She had never suspected that Qi Zi was a
Mystery, I didn’t expect that she could actually be related to the emperor. Qi Zi, what kind of person are you?
When we returned to the academy, it was already dark and every household had lights on.
Qi Zi made a decision. She knew clearly who she was and what she should do. She liked Xuan Yi, fell in love with the man she once hated so much, hated him for making her lose her freedom, hated him for letting her lose her freedom.
She has lost the joy of life and hates him for taking away her happiness tyrannically. Today, she still hates him, hates him for leaving without saying goodbye, hates him for being willful and vain, hates him for giving up easily, hates him for being unclear, and hates him even more.
Hiding everything from myself, suffering alone.
At this time, she went to the mourning hall first, looked at Yuan Yiqiu's memorial tablet apologetically, and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, Yiqiu, I can't fulfill my promise to you. I know what I want most at this moment, even if
Even if I don't marry Brother Zhongwen, I will take good care of him and the children for you."
Afterwards, she returned to the room, wrote a letter and gave it to Su Yueling, saying: "Yueling, please help me give the letter to Brother Zhongwen. After he reads the letter, he will understand everything."
Su Yueling said with some fear: "Qi Zi, what are you going to do? Wait until he comes back, okay?"
Qi Zi smiled and said, "I can't wait any longer, because we are no longer the Qi Zi and Liu Zhongwen we used to be."
After Qi Zi finished speaking, he walked out of the academy with relief and walked towards the palace gate. Suddenly he felt that things in the world became colorful in an instant, and everything turned out to be so beautiful.
