Full of grievances and sadness, she burst into tears. She threw herself into the arms of Liu Zhongwen, whom she had missed for a long time, and cried loudly and unscrupulously. The familiar embrace and the familiar temperature made Qi Zi relax all her vigilance and precautions. But Liu Zhongwen
What he showed was - at a loss.
The endless sadness and endless longing were all expressed in tears.
After a long time, Liu Zhongwen finally spoke: "You are Qi Zi, right?"
The person in her arms nodded vigorously, she wanted Liu Zhongwen to know that his wolfberry was back.
"You are really Qi Zi, you are really Qi Zi." He hugged him tightly, but his heart ached slightly.
Qi Zi cried and said, "Brother Zhongwen, I miss you so much, I really miss you so much." She pushed him away gently and said, "So I escaped from the palace, and I will never go back to that place again."
.”
Liu Zhongwen also shed tears. He knew that he had no face to face Qi Zi now and could only stay silent.
Qi Zi cried and laughed and said: "Thank you for keeping your promise and still waiting for me. I am really happy, really happy. I will never leave you again, I swear."
Qi Zi hugged Liu Zhongwen tightly, she wanted to hold on to this hard-won happiness.
"Qi Zi, I..." Liu Zhongwen started to speak but stopped.
"Brother Zhongwen, what do you want to say?" Qi Zi asked.
Just when he didn't know how to explain, a voice came from behind Qi Zi, "Ms. sir, what are you doing?"
Qi Zi's heart seemed to have stopped. There was no one around, only her and Liu Zhongwen, so this voice... She looked at Liu Zhongwen's surprised expression, turned around sharply, and saw Yuan Yiqiu standing not far from them with a bulging belly.
She was holding a cabbage basket and a few green cabbage leaves swaying in the breeze. Apparently she didn't recognize Qi Zi and was jealous that her husband was hugging another woman. But when she took a closer look, the cabbage basket in her hand was
The child fell to the ground, his expression of surprise was no less than that of Liu Zhongwen.
"You are...Qi...Qi Zi." She stuttered after saying this, and slowly came closer. The smile of seeing each other again after a long separation was printed on her face. She forgot her identity at the moment, and stepped forward to hold Qi Zi tightly.
His hand said: "Qi Zi, it's really you. You're back. Are you okay?"
Seeing her excitedly expressing her longing for him, Qi Zi stood there indifferently, without a trace of smile. Yuan Yiqiu noticed something, unnaturally let go of his hand, his eyes flickered, and he looked at her awkwardly.
After a while, Qi Zi asked softly in a tentative mood: "Yiqiu, what did you call him just now?"
Yuan Yiqiu was speechless, with a slightly remorseful expression. She glanced at Liu Zhongwen. At that moment, Qi Zi noticed it. She turned her head and said with tears: "Brother Zhongwen, is this true? You and Yi Qiu have become
Got married?"
Liu Zhongwen nodded sadly. The moment he nodded, Qi Zi's heart was broken and shattered into grains of sand. Each grain was weeping blood, accusing him of his ruthlessness. Tears fell down like water drops,
She rushed up and beat him hard, saying, "Why, why, why did you betray me?"
Liu Zhongwen allowed Qi Zi to vent his anger. When his father was critically ill and his mother wanted her to get married, he was also angry. What he thought about was Qi Zi every day, and what he saw in his dreams was Qi Zi. Their vows were made all the time.
It echoed in his mind, but in the end he couldn't escape his mother's persecution. He couldn't lose two close relatives at the same time, so he collapsed and compromised. The situation that created today was all caused by him, Qi Zi
It's right to resent him.
After Yuan Yiqiu learned that she was going to marry Liu Zhongwen, she was also distressed. On the one hand, he liked Liu Zhongwen, but on the other hand, she didn't want to get between Qi Zi and him. But on the other hand, she thought that Qi Zi was the second young lady of Ronghou Mansion, and she was still worried.
After entering the palace and becoming a concubine, could she come back? So she made a determined decision and agreed to the marriage. Now that Qi Zi has left and returned, she is in the wrong, but the rice has become a meal, and she cannot let Qi Zi blame him.
Liu Zhongwen did not fight back.
She rushed up to stand in front of Liu Zhongwen and said, "Qi Zi, I am the one who is sorry for you. Please stop hitting my husband."
Qi Zi put down his raised hand and looked at the determined Yuan Yiqiu. Qi Zi shook his head sadly, cried and smiled. Yuan Yiqiu gently touched the place where Liu Zhongwen was beaten and asked gently: "How is it? Does it hurt?"
Liu Zhongwen looked straight at Qi Zi, his eyes full of tenderness and pity.
"Speak, please give me an explanation." Qi Zi roared.
"I'm sorry. I have failed you in this life. I am not qualified to beg for your forgiveness, nor do I expect you to forgive me."
"What do you mean? Do you know how much humiliation I suffered in the palace for you? For you, I resist that devilish person every day and stick to my bottom line. The purpose is because we have an agreement.
, I want to keep my promise. But as for you, you got married to someone else, so what kind of suffering did I suffer? Is it just to get the answer of being sentimental?" Qi Zi shouted hysterically at Liu Zhongwen.
"Stop talking, Qi Zi, please stop talking." He cried, begging her not to rub salt into his wounded heart.
"It was my fault, it was my wishful thinking. I shouldn't have come back to destroy your happiness." After saying this with tears, she turned around and left quickly.
Looking at Qi Zi's desolate back, Liu Zhongwen took steps to catch up. Yuan Yiqiu tightly held the corners of his sleeves. He looked back at her eyes filled with water mist, and then looked at her belly that was several months old. He was helpless.
He took back his steps and said in his heart: "Qi Zi, I'm sorry."
The setting sun fell, leaving only a piece of sunset glow in the sky. The glow was red, and the tears were also red. Qi Zi ran for no idea how long, and gradually stopped. What happened just now? I can't remember it clearly in my mind.
She suppressed her thoughts, but tears blurred her eyes again.
Night has fallen, the lights in Qifeng Hall are brightly lit, and everything is just like it was when Qi Zi was still there. But the inner hall exudes a tense atmosphere.
Xuan Yi sat on the stool angrily, while Cui Yi and Zi Lan were kneeling on the ground waiting for death to come.
Half an hour ago, Xuan Yi arrived at Qifeng Palace and did not see Qi Zi. The two palace officials were confused and couldn't explain the reason, so he ordered people to search everywhere in the palace. At this time, Lan Liaohui came in.
Then he reported: "Your Majesty, I have all searched for you, but there is no sign of the Queen in the palace."
Xuan Yi was furious, stood up, looked at the two palace servants with their heads lowered, and shouted: "Come on, tell me, where did you get the queen?"
The intimidating momentum made people's hair stand on end. Cuiyi was so frightened that she burst into tears, but she bit her lip tightly and refused to utter a single word.
"Have you left the palace?" As soon as Xuan Yi said this, Zilan trembled. Xuan Yi was so smart that he caught it immediately and ordered: "Pull them two out and kill them."
"Your Majesty——" Defu knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Why, if you want to plead with them two, if they dare to let my queen go, they should be mentally prepared to die." Xuan Yi said coldly.
