"After I asked you that day, I felt very sad, so I kicked Xiao Lizi and the others out, wanting to be alone. Suddenly, a man in black flew in from the window. I wanted to scream, but he covered me
My mouth won’t let me shout.”
"Man in black?" Hearing this, Yan Qiqi couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the palace was really not a safe place. There were people doing bad things here every day.
However, fortunately, Ming'er was fine, and fortunately she and Yin Tianjue convinced Yin Xianglong not to let her daughter live in such a haunted house.
Yin Tianjue wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve and continued: "I was very scared at the time. He said he wouldn't hurt me and said he wanted to avenge my mother and concubine. I said I didn't want revenge, and he even scolded me for being unfilial.
.Finally, he asked me if I wanted to confirm whether you, fourth sister-in-law, were the real murderer."
"If you want to be sure, why do you prick me with a needle?"
Yin Tianming lowered his head as if he had made a big mistake and muttered in a low voice, "The man said that there is medicine in this needle that can make people tell the truth. All he needs to do is prick the skin."
Medicine for telling the truth? Yan Qiqi looked at the needle with a faint blue light in her hand, and the corners of her lips twitched.
It should be a shut-up medicine. One injection will shut up the person who is hit. Dead people cannot speak.
Yan Qiqi reached out and pulled him into her arms, looked down at him, and said softly: "Ming'er, do you think I was the one who killed your mother and concubine?"
"I..." Yin Tianming lowered his head, his face tightened, and he was very troubled. It was obvious that he still suspected that Yan Qiqi had killed his mother-in-law.
Yan Qiqi sighed slightly and took out the jade pendant given to her by Concubine Wan.
Putting it in front of Yin Tianming, he said slowly: "There is indeed a secret between me and your mother-in-law, but it is something she entrusted me to do. I need to wait until you grow up to tell you, and she asked me to wear this jade until then."
for you."
Yin Tianming took the jade pendant and saw the word "成" on it. He tilted his little head and asked doubtfully: "Sister-in-law four, how come there is the word "成" on it? And I am an adult now. My mother-in-law said so.
What is it?"
Is a child over five years old an adult? Yan Qiqi's head was suddenly filled with black lines.
She definitely couldn't tell him about this, after all, this was going to involve beheading, and Ming'er was too young, so it would be easy for him to spill the beans.
Her eyes flashed slightly and she took back the jade pendant in Yin Tianming's hand.
She moved his little body over, looked into her eyes, and said sincerely: "Ming'er, your mother-in-law said that she needs to wait until you are as tall as your fourth brother before she can tell you. In addition, she also said that if you don't behave,
Yes, she won’t let me tell you.”
The first words are true, but the latter words were added by her.
"Did the mother really say that?" Yin Tianming stared at his big black grape-like eyes and asked.
"Yeah." Yan Qiqi nodded seriously, then pretended to be sad and curled her lips, "I'm really sad that Ming'er doesn't believe my fourth sister-in-law anymore."
Ming'er tugged on the lapel of her clothes and quickly explained: "Sister-in-law Fourth, I really don't believe you, I..."
As I was talking, I suddenly noticed something strange.
He took Yan Qiqi's arm and tilted his head to look at her with confusion, "Sister-in-law Fourth, why aren't you weak anymore?"
I was so weak just now, but now I can sit upright and speak much brighter than before.
Of course he hoped that the fourth sister-in-law was okay, but he was just a little confused.
Being caught red-handed, Yan Qiqi immediately laughed awkwardly, "Haha..."
For a moment, he didn't know how to proceed. If he said that she lied to him, wouldn't the newly established trust be completely destroyed?
Yin Tianjue saw her concerns and raised his eyes to glare at her. Don't tell lies, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
"Ming'er, come here, fourth brother is holding you." Regardless of whether the child agreed or not, he reached out and picked up Yin Tianming, who was lying in the arms of a certain woman.
She held his little body in her arms and said without shame, "It was the fourth brother who just helped your fourth sister-in-law get rid of the poison."
"Oh, that's it." Yin Tianming immediately nodded his little head. The fourth brother is omnipotent, and there must be a way to save the fourth sister-in-law.
After knowing that Yan Qiqi was fine, Yin Tianming took a deep breath.
If the fourth sister-in-law died, he would definitely be sad. Fortunately, the fourth brother's ability saved the fourth sister-in-law. He will work hard to practice martial arts and become a capable man like the fourth brother when he grows up. He will protect the people he cares about.
Yin Tianming clenched his small fists and swore secretly.
A certain man is also a lot taller invisibly in the mind of a certain child.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked quickly: "Fourth sister-in-law, can you tell me how my mother-in-law died?"
Although he no longer doubts that the fourth sister-in-law is the murderer of his mother-in-law, as her son, he must find the murderer and avenge her.
Some of what the man in black said is quite right. If he doesn't even know how his mother and concubine died, then he is really an unfilial son.
"Uh..." A look of embarrassment appeared on Yan Qiqi's face, which was really hard to explain.
If the truth is told, Ming'er is still too young to accept it. If it is said that Concubine Wan died to protect her own reputation, it seems that this aspect is a bit unhealthy for the child.
Her eyes flashed slightly, she reached out to touch Yin Tianming's head and said, "As for the death of your mother-in-law, I will tell you when you grow up. In short, you have to trust the fourth sister-in-law, and the fourth sister-in-law will not lie to you."
"But..." Yin Tianming lowered his eyes slightly and pouted, looking very sad.
He really wanted to know how the mother-in-law died. He heard from Xiao Zhouzi that the mother-in-law was thrown into the cold palace by his father and finally killed by the fourth sister-in-law.
Now he does not doubt that his fourth sister-in-law is the murderer of his mother-in-law, but it is a fact that his mother-in-law was thrown into the cold palace by his father.
Thinking of this, Yin Tianming raised his little head and looked at Yan Qiqi, "Fourth sister-in-law, I heard from others that my mother-in-law was thrown into the cold palace by my father. Did my mother-in-law choose to commit suicide because she couldn't bear the pain in the cold palace?
of."
"Uh..." Yan Qiqi was speechless.
Although this child is young, he is very smart and can draw inferences from one instance to another. In the end, he even thought about Concubine Wan's death.
Seeing her silence, Yin Tianming showed a hint of hurt in his eyes, and then lowered his head.
I remember that not long ago, he accidentally went to the cold palace to play. It was full of spiders and was very shabby.
Moreover, a woman happened to die at that time. According to Xiao Lizi and others, she committed suicide because the life in the cold palace was too painful and she couldn't bear it.
Then is his mother-in-law the same?
Although he didn't know why his father sent his mother and concubine to the cold palace, he was responsible for her death.
Thinking about it, Yin Tianming's eyes added a hint of hatred.
At this time, he lowered his head, and Yan Qiqi and Yin Tianjue did not notice this trace of hatred.
Yan Qiqi thought for a moment, then pulled his little body and said seriously: "Ming'er, it's not because your mother and concubine can't bear the suffering in the cold palace. Your mother and concubine is really happy in heaven now, so don't do it for her.
She's worried."
"Is my mother and concubine really happy in heaven?" No matter how smart Yin Tianming is, he is still a child. There are many things that have not yet been formed in his mind, so it is easy to believe it.
"Yes." Yan Qiqi nodded and said in a child-like voice, "So you have to learn your skills well, so that your mother-in-law will be happier looking at you in the sky."
What she said was right, for Concubine Wan, death was indeed a relief.
After all, ancient people were not like modern people. They believed in gods, believed in reincarnation, and believed in hell and heaven.
She didn't believe that humans had souls before, but now she didn't know whether to believe it or not.
He raised his hand and patted Yin Tianming's little head, and said softly: "Anyway, stop thinking so much. Children will have holes in their brains if they think too much."
As soon as she said these words, she immediately attracted four looks of contempt. It was obvious that the child did not believe her words.
Yan Qiqi touched her nose awkwardly and suddenly remembered something. She looked at Yin Tianming and asked, "What does Ming'er look like? Do you still remember?"
The man probably wouldn't let Ming'er see his true face, but he still asked a question.
"I don't know." Yin Tianming shook his head, clasped his little fingers, and whispered, "He is wearing a mask. I don't know who he is."
Yan Qiqi touched her chin and closed her eyes in thought. She still believed that Ming'er wouldn't lie. Who was trying to trick Ming'er?
That little Zhouzi was undoubtedly bribed, and the man in black was probably the same person who bribed Xiao Zhouzi.
Ming'er was too young and couldn't tell what the man looked like, but little Zhouzi was different. Although the man in black had his face covered, he should be able to tell the difference clearly based on his height, fatness and thinness, and he might be able to tell something useful.
.
But Xiao Zhouzi has probably gone to the Palace of Hell to report, and the man in black will never let him go.
However, she hasn't offended many people here.
No wonder the only people who wanted to kill her were Yin Tianqi, Tomorrow, or Hei Feng.
Black Phoenix?!
At this time, Yan Qiqi's eyes suddenly widened, showing a hint of worry.
Yin Tianjue naturally thought about this layer, and the temperature of his whole body dropped suddenly.
He stretched out his hand to pull Yin Tianming into his arms, with a solemn gaze, "Aqi, Chen'er and the others are in danger."
One purpose was to lure them here so that Yin Tianming could kill Ah Qi, but there was another purpose, which was to lure them away so that he could attack Chen'er and Yan'er.
Yan Qiqi didn't dare to hesitate, jumped out of bed and quickly rushed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Although he was protected by Situ Hongtian and Yin Xianglong, there were many ways to kill someone, let alone an infant in his infancy.
···················
Hall of Supreme Harmony——
Yin Xianglong hugged Yin Beibei and teased her with his thumb from time to time, his eyes full of love.
Listening to her slight laughter, Yin Xianglong was suddenly excited, "Look at her laughing again, this girl loves to laugh so much, haha..."
Situ Hongtian couldn't help but glance over and nodded in agreement, "Well, this girl does love to laugh."
He looked down at the girl in his arms and frowned.
How can there be such a huge difference between two people who share the same breast?
The baby he held in his arms would not laugh no matter how much he was teased. He would smack his lips and play with his own. The interference from the outside world had no effect on him at all. He would not laugh even if he did not cry.
If you tease him too hard, you will squint his small dark eyes, as if you are rolling your eyes.
Well, it seems a bit abnormal for a child to be able to make others look down on him.
Situ Hongtian glanced at the girl in Yin Xianglong's arms again, and saw that she was giggling, and her eyes had disappeared from laughter.
I feel all kinds of envy and jealousy in my heart.
At this moment, the girl in Yin Xianglong's arms suddenly stopped smiling, and even frowned, her face turning red.
Then, he started crying "Wow wow...".
"Be good, don't cry, my grandpa will give you something fun later, don't cry." But a certain girl didn't buy his fault and kept crying.
Yin Xianglong suddenly became at a loss, and for a moment he was a little confused about the girl in his arms.
"Stop crying, okay." As a ninety-five supreme, he usually took care of children there. Even brothers Yi'er and Jue'er only hugged them once and left them to the nanny.
This girl was so happy just now, but she started crying no matter how hard she said it.
The nanny standing below saw the child crying. Due to Yin Xianglong's status, she did not dare to go up and ask for it, so she could only stand there and worry.
I prayed in my heart that King Rui and his wife would come back soon.
"What's wrong with the baby girl? Weren't you still smiling just now?" Situ Hongtian looked at the crying baby girl in confusion, raised his hand and patted her gently, "Baby girl, be good, don't cry.
"
However, it seems to be of no use.
At this time, Yin Tianqi, who had been drinking silently, raised his eyes and looked up, revealing something strange.
It happened that Concubine Xian also looked towards him, and the two made eye contact before avoiding each other.
Concubine Xian smiled softly and said to Yin Xianglong: "Your Majesty, give her to your concubine. Maybe she peed."
"Really?" Yin Xianglong was about to give her the child.
The queen on the side began to sarcastically say, "Hey, Concubine Xian, it seems you have never given birth to a child. Don't pretend to have given birth to many children. It will look like hypocrisy. Then Yan'er will have a problem. You are
I can’t eat and walk around.”
Yin Xianglong frowned slightly and took the child back.
His action undoubtedly believed the queen's words, which showed how much he cared about the child.
However, it completely broke Concubine Xian's heart. There was a hint of pain in her eyes. Being childless had always been the thing she hated the most, and now this woman actually used this matter to ridicule her.
She bit her lower lip slightly, lowered her eyes and murmured in a low voice: "Concubine, it's not..."
"It's nothing." Seeing Yin Xianglong's reaction, the queen suddenly became arrogant and continued to sarcastically say, "Are you envious when you see someone having two children at once? You can have one too, so you don't have to pay for others.
The woman raised her son."
She hates Yan Qiqi, and she hates all Yin Xianglong's women.
The main reason why he hates Yin Tianjue so much is because of his mother. Yin Xianglong gave all his love to that woman and still misses her to this day.
Even though Yin Xianglong didn't like Concubine Xian, she was his woman and he didn't like her.
Concubine Xian tolerated it for a moment, raised her eyes to look at the queen, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "It doesn't matter whether I have children now, because I have Ming'er, and he is my son."
As early as when she was twenty years old, the imperial doctor had already told her that she would never be pregnant in her lifetime. As time went by, she also downplayed the idea of having children.
But it is undeniable that she will indeed be jealous when she sees other people's women giving birth to children. How can she not hate this woman when she makes fun of her.
The queen curled her lips and said sarcastically: "Huh! I think that's what you said, but that's not what you thought in your heart."
"Concubine..."
"Okay, can you please be quiet? Didn't you see the child crying?" Yin Xianglong impatiently interrupted the war of words between them.
"Yes, I know." The queen looked at the child who was still crying, "Your Majesty, give her to me. It looks like she probably peed."
Although she hated Yan Qiqi and also hated her children, in order to please Yin Xianglong, she had no choice but to lend a helping hand and let herself show off more in front of him.
Yin Xianglong frowned slightly, then handed Yin Beibei into her hand, and finally warned, "Be careful."
Having lived with the Queen for so many years, he knows best who she is.
Before she met Xi'er, she was his concubine.
Back then, she was also a delicate and elegant woman with a kind heart. At that time, I thought about living with her like this.
She also planned to make her queen after he sat on the throne.
I didn't expect that I would meet Xi'er, and then I would know what true love is.
The queen was married to him at a mandarin duck feast when he was young.
I remember that when she was still a girl, the beautiful music of the piano made many outstanding men stand up for her and be willing to marry her.
Because he had no feelings for her, he did not stand up.
In the end, she rejected them all and made a bold move, saying that she would marry him even if she was to be his concubine.
I was quite surprised at the time and impressed by her boldness, so I agreed to marry her.
However, instead of making her a concubine, he married her as a concubine.
Her father was the minister of the dynasty, and she was both talented and beautiful. It was not an exaggeration to be his concubine, both in terms of her life experience and her appearance and talents.
I don’t know what I was thinking at that time, but from the bottom of my heart, I didn’t want to give the position of the principal concubine to a woman I didn’t love, so the position of the principal concubine was left idle.
The queen did not complain, she always stayed by his side and cared for him in every possible way.
It wasn't until he married Xi'er that the queen began to slowly change, and she became the cruel and ruthless woman she is today who plays tricks all day long.
Although she knew that she secretly used tricks to deal with other women, and even got rid of those women quietly, she had never laid a hand on his heirs.
As for the princes who died in infancy, they were all caused by other concubines. As the Ninth Five Supreme Being, he still knew this very well.
That's why he would turn a blind eye and let her. As long as she didn't go too far, he wouldn't say anything.
After all, the palace is an invisible battlefield. If there are more women, there will be more troubles.
He is not a licentious person and would never force women to enter the palace willingly.
These women only entered the palace for the sake of their family and their own prosperity, and few of them had sincere feelings for him, except for the queen and Xi'er.
He had given his heart to Xi'er, and he only regarded her as his companion to the queen. He could not give her any affection, and could only pamper her in other ways.
That's why he would turn a blind eye and let her. As long as she didn't go too far, he wouldn't say anything.
After all, the palace is an invisible battlefield. If there are more women, there will be more troubles.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the queen who was holding the child, and said softly: "The child is more delicate, so move more gently."
"I know." The queen curled her lips and replied in an unhappy tone.
He was so nervous about Yin Tianjue's children, but he had never hugged Qi'er once when she was little. How could he make her not jealous.
But I was jealous, so I still had to change the baby's diaper, and when I untied it, I saw that it was indeed wet.
She first took out the urine-wet tablets and wrapped the child in a non-wet blanket.
A crying child stopped crying immediately, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and started giggling at the Queen with a grin.
Looking at the pink doll in front of her, the queen immediately felt fond of her. She raised her hand and poked her little face gently, "Baby, be good. Grandma will change your diaper right now."
Smelly girl, I didn't give her face last time, and now I start to fawn over her. She is such an unlovable little girl.
Even though I complained so much, I still liked this beautiful baby doll a little bit.
It would be great if this child was Qi'er's, but it's because Situ Jing, a little Jian, is so unlucky that she hasn't gotten pregnant yet.
He cursed Situ Jing in his mind, turned to look at the two wet nurses standing on the ground, and said, "Did you bring diapers and blankets?"
When he asked them, one of the wet nurses hurriedly said: "Go back to my wife, I will bring it to you. I will go and get it right away."
"Um."
After getting permission, the wet nurse hurriedly ran to the place where things were placed, took the diapers and blankets, and quickly ran over and handed them to the Queen.
The queen took the diaper, looked at the diaper in her hand first, and sighed slightly in her heart.
She hasn't changed a baby's diaper for several years, so her technique must be a bit unfamiliar.
However, when Qi'er was young, she basically did everything herself. With the previous foundation, she would naturally not be so unfamiliar with it.
She quickly changed the diaper, wrapped Beibei around her body, held her in her arms and patted her gently, "Your name is Yan'er, right? Little Yan'er will grow more and more beautiful, and grow up to be a gentle and beautiful woman."
, so that there will be many handsome and talented people willing to stand up for you."
She secretly added in her heart, don't think of her mother, who has no femininity at all and will get bored after seeing her.
Yin Xianglong raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at her, and said in a slightly lecturing tone: "Okay, she is still so young, you should instill this kind of thinking in her, but don't teach my baby bad."
"How could it be possible? Yan'er is so beautiful. She will definitely be fascinated when she grows up." The queen looked at the girl in her arms with a smile, and the corner of her lips curved into the only true smile in so many years.
"That's right, my granddaughter is naturally extraordinary." Yin Xianglong raised his handsome eyebrows proudly, lowered his head and teased the girl, "Yan'er, grandpa is right, right."
"Indeed..." As the queen was speaking, she raised her head and saw his loving smile.
She hadn't seen him like this for a long time. Over the years, he would come to her from time to time, but he always turned out the lights. When she woke up the next day, there was no one around her.
Usually when I see him, I always lower my head when talking to him, or stay far away from him.
She had never been so close as now. There was only four or five centimeters between her and him, and she could see it so clearly.
Time has left traces on his handsome face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are also very obvious. The free and uninhibited look of his youth has faded away, and he has become more calm and serious.
However, her love for him in her heart did not diminish at all.
Her biggest hope is to get rid of all the women around him, so that he will be completely hers, but the more she gets rid of, the more...
Concubine Xian saw them looking at the child so closely, with jealousy and cruel eyes in her eyes.
She bit her lower lip, her heart skipped a beat, and she quietly took off the things on her body...
