After so many years, how could we not have expected that things back then were definitely not that simple.
Perhaps only the emperor in this world could handle the death of Huangfu Lianzheng so cleanly, so cleanly that not even a trace was left on the affairs of the five great families.
And because he felt guilty, he consciously forgot these old events over the past twenty years, selectively forgetting them completely.
It's a pity that paper can't cover up the fire after all, and these things will eventually come to light one day.
"Shi Yu's nephew, today you and I are here to pay homage to Huangfu's Integrity. We don't ask Huangfu Integrity to forgive the Su family and the Qi family, but we hope that we can make peace with the mistakes of the past and offer a little bit of heart." It's best... to be in the spirit of heaven.
, for the sake of Huangfu Hanguang, bless Minghe.
If they really love each other, there is no need to burden their young children with the past events.
As a father, he doesn't want his children to suffer...
Su Shirui stood, watching Qi Jianqing staring at the cliff in front of him and sighing.
Su Shiyu signaled to the person behind him: "Yes."
The incense candles and tributes were brought up in this way, and now they were neatly placed in the pavilion.
Qi Jianqing finally took his eyes back from the cliff in the distance. At this moment, he knelt down tremblingly. When the servant lit the incense candle, he bowed properly and sighed.
"Master Huangfu, although we met back then, my relationship with you was not as good as that of the Nangong family, the Ouyang family, or even the young masters of the Zhang family, but now... Minghe has married into the Huangfu Mansion, and you and I are considered in-laws. Back then,
The thing... is that I am sorry for you."
"At that time, my father only said that there are many talented people from the south of the Yangtze River in Bianjing City, and he asked me to make more friends with you. At first, I just thought it was a matter of climbing a dragon and a phoenix, so I didn't take it seriously. We made friends together among everyone, and later I looked up to you.
Because of your style, I talked a lot. I deliberately said that Yunya was on Yunxiang Mountain, but my words without much thought cost you your life."
"In the past twenty years, except for the first few years, I have been very worried about you, and then I gave up. I have never come to worship you until now. I am here to apologize."
Su Shixuan's tall figure stood in the pavilion. Listening to Qi Jianqing's own words about what happened back then made him understand even more clearly than when Su Shengli passed away.
Su Shiyu moved and knelt down, and knelt down together with Qi Jianqing: "I am in the Su Mansion. Su Shiyu, I am here today to pay my respects to Mr. Huangfu on behalf of my father Su Shengli." He used the honorific title.
Qi Jianqing didn't speak any more, but tapped lightly again and again to seek peace of mind.
Qi Jianqing's somewhat tired expression in the past few days finally felt relieved, "May your spirit in heaven forgive all this."
After praying, he turned to Yunya tremblingly and bowed again.
In the distance, among the trees, Xiao Yu stood quietly watching this scene in a hidden place in the distance. He also heard Qi Jianqing's guilt-ridden words just now.
At this time, he was just frozen, and the expression on his face was getting colder and colder.
Some of the answers I didn't want to get have been obtained. If I continue to listen, the result will be the same.
Xiao Yu wanted to turn around and stop looking...
At this moment, the figure who was about to leave suddenly paused again and stopped here, his eyes became sharper, and he looked coldly at the scene in the pavilion not far away.
In the Jade Screen Pavilion, Qi Jianqing bowed a few times and fell into silence. At this time, he quietly watched the incense candle burn out little by little. He sighed: "Shiyou, alas."
"Shibo?" Su Shiyu also stood up straight.
The two people were facing each other at this time, and they had not noticed the changes in Yunxiang Mountain. At this time, Qi Jianqing only felt that he had accomplished a big thing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
My heart lightened, and I regained my composure: "Let's go."
"Go down to the cliff below and take a look..."
As soon as Qi Jianqing finished speaking, unexpectedly, someone seemed to have broken into the entire Yunxiang Mountain.
At this time, the sound of several horse hooves echoed clearly in the mountains.
It seems that because the person is getting closer and closer, this feeling is particularly clear.
Su Shiyu immediately stood up straight. Before coming here today, he had ordered people to surround Yunxiang Mountain and not allow anyone to enter. At this time, what he and Qi Jianqing were doing could not be known to too many people.
Why did he come to Yunxiang Mountain to worship for no reason? Who was he worshiping?
Therefore, even those who accompanied the incense candles and sacrifices up the mountain today were specially selected confidants.
At this time, Qi Jianqing froze and glanced at Su Shiyu: "My nephew."
Su Shiyu had already picked up his steps and quickly walked out of the pavilion.
Outside the pavilion, the guards escorted by the Su Mansion have all drawn their swords, and they are now heavily guarded.
When they saw Su Shirui coming out, they immediately surrounded him, looking around nervously and warily, always looking in the direction of the person coming: "Protect Master and Master Qi."
Qi Jianqing has also come out of the pavilion, his old eyes finally relaxed a little, but now they are foggy again, and his face is a little pale.
Could it be...could it be Huangfu Mansion?
Su Shiyu remained motionless, just looking in the direction of the coming person, and finally...
The visitor drove seven or eight horses majestically from a distance. From a distance, he looked like he was wearing brocade clothes and satin. It was obvious that he was an extraordinary person, but he couldn't identify who he was.
What's going on? The worship is only a private matter between the Su and Qi families and has not been leaked to the outside world. But at Yunxiang Mountain... who knows what the two heads of the Su family and Qi family are doing in Yunxiang Mountain?
Su Shirui was motionless at the moment. He was calm in the face of danger. He could only raise his hand and wave his servants to gather in a circle to protect the place.
In the distance, the person seemed to be a little unscrupulous and just barged in.
They saw Su Shiyu and Qi Jianqing from afar, and their purpose was clear at this time.
From a distance, a voice came in: "Get out of the way, everyone, we have been ordered to see Su Mansion, the head of two aristocratic families in Qi Mansion."
Qi Jianqing just looked at the person who was about to lead him in the distance. Maybe it was because the person was getting closer and closer, so he could barely see clearly. At this time, Qi Jianqing felt that he had become much older in an instant, and his whole body panicked.
He was shaking so calmly that he was a little unable to stand.
"It's him..." He only said this vaguely at this time.
Su Shiyu closed his dark eyes and lowered his raised hand, shaking it slightly.
Qi Jianqing was a little panicked: "Shi Yu, let me get out of here first."
"Shibo?"
Qi Jianqing was a little insistent.
It seemed that the person who came was someone he knew and was not in danger.
Su Shiyu waved his hand: "Everyone, get out of the way. The remaining people will be protected ten meters away."
"Yes." Everyone retreated.
As soon as everyone retreated, the uninvited guests on horseback were approaching, and the leader was already heading towards Qi Jianqing: "Long time no see, Lord Qi."
A thin voice, a pale face, a tall figure but no beard, a somewhat feminine appearance...
Su Shiyu took a step forward to protect Qi Jianqing, but Qi Jianqing was stunned for a moment and then came forward: "Long time no see, I wonder what Eunuch Hai is doing here in Yunxiang Mountain looking for me..."
Su Shiyu was stunned and found out that he was a visitor from the palace in disguise.
Eunuch Hai only glanced at Qi Jianqing at this time, and then his eyes fell on Su Shiyu, saying: "This is probably the eldest son Su from the Su Mansion in Bianjing City. I heard that the prime minister's daughter has always been thinking about him..."
In recent years, Su Shiyu has indeed become a popular young man from an aristocratic family in Bianjing City. He is simple and straightforward in his work and has no loss of character, so he is favored by powerful people.
However, these are all private affairs between the officials and businessmen in Bianjing City, and have nothing to do with the royal family within the walls of the Red Palace.
The emperor, who was busy with everything, would not pay attention to people from these aristocratic families, let alone send people here rashly. At this time... this so-called father-in-law actually appeared in Yunxiang Mountain.
Eunuch Hai smiled: "We are the emperor's personal father-in-law. From the time when the emperor ascended the throne to now, we have been serving the emperor for many years." The implication is that his status is not low.
Ming seemed to be introducing himself to Su Shiyu, but in fact, he was laying the groundwork for what to say next.
At this moment, Qi Jianqing only looked at Eunuch Hai and smiled along with him: "I wonder what Eunuch Hai is doing when he comes to Yunxiang Mountain." He brought the topic back.
At this point, since it has come to this point, it is clear that people do not do secret things.
Eunuch Hai laughed twice and looked back at the people behind him: "On the order of the emperor, we are here to invite you two into the palace."
Why did you choose this time? Because you don’t want to make too much noise, and it’s also a shameful thing.
Otherwise, why would only seven or eight people be sent here in civilian clothes?
Since he is asked to lead the way in person, it means that he still hopes to handle this matter quietly.
At this time, Eunuch Hai raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and the few Ouchi guards who came with him behind him had already stepped forward.
Qi Jianqing's expression was not very good at this time. He just looked at Eunuch Hai without speaking, as if he wanted to ask if there was any room for this matter...
However, at this moment, I only turned around and glanced at the Jade Screen Pavilion and the cliff. In the end, I could only sigh: "I will go with you."
Eunuch Hai only smiled: "The emperor has issued a secret order, and the current head of the Su family, Mr. Su, also wants to enter the palace."
These five aristocratic families originally served the royal family. The things they did back then were accomplished in exchange for the prosperity of the five aristocratic families. As a result, the people of these five aristocratic families were able to rest for several years and have been happy for twenty years. Now Huangfu
There has been such a big commotion in the palace. The Huangfu Palace has many young talents...
A young Huangfu son with sound limbs and a prime minister took over the Huangfu Mansion...
In contrast, the emperor is now old, how can he tolerate it?
It just so happened that people from the Qi Mansion who were monitoring Su came to report that the two of them were coming to Yunxiang Mountain today, which meant that the five major aristocratic families now gradually remembered what happened back then. Then... no one could escape, and there was no need to wrap up the fire with paper.
.
Eunuch Hai smiled and took a step forward: "It's getting late, what are you doing standing around? The emperor is still waiting."
