Qi Qi's heart was shaken, and her eyes were full of shock. The Third Emperor Brother is still alive? And he has been found? Why didn't the emperor tell himself? He kept it secret from himself, was he ready to let Long Tingzhen take his place at any time?
power? Why would Hong Beimo reveal the truth to him? What was his purpose?
While speaking, Hong Beimo did not forget to observe Qiqi's expression, with a knowing smile on his lips: "Your Highness, are you interested in having an in-depth talk with me now?"
Qiqi quickly calmed down and said softly: "Mr. Hong, please have tea!" Although she did not directly answer Hong Beimo's question, this sentence already marked that her attitude was beginning to soften.
Hong Beimo pointed at the drawing and said, "Your Highness, you might as well take a closer look."
Qiqi heard something in his words. Could there be another mystery in this picture? She nodded and unfolded the picture in front of Hong Beimo. After it was fully unfolded, Qiqi was shocked. The root of this picture was
It's not a prince-in-law's palace, but a graceful and peerless beauty. Her appearance is 70% similar to hers. This painting must have been around for many years, and the picture has begun to turn yellow. There is a small poem mentioned in the signature of the picture.
, most of the fonts have been blurred due to being wet and damp.
Hong Beimo said: "This painting is of the former Crown Princess Ling Jiazi."
Qiqi bit her lips. Isn't the Crown Princess Ling Jiazi her mother? I wonder where Hong Beimo got this portrait of his mother and who painted it?
Hong Beimo said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess will be sixteen years old. If the Crown Princess lives to this day, she will definitely feel comforted in her heart when she sees her Highness's achievements today."
Qiqi looked at Hong Beimo quietly. She tried her best to keep calm, but her heart was undulating like a tide. Hong Beimo did not come for no reason. He must have an unknown motive for coming to see her today.
It can be inferred from his words that he should know what happened back then. Why did his mother die? What is his relationship with the old emperor?
Hong Beimo was secretly amazed when he saw that Qiqi could still remain calm under such circumstances at such a young age.
Qiqi whispered: "I have never seen her!"
Hong Beimo sighed: "The day His Highness was born is the day the Crown Princess passed away. Of course you won't be able to see her."
Qiqi said: "You seem to know a lot of things?"
Hong Beimo's eyes fell on the portrait: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is both your birthday and the anniversary of her death. When your mother gave birth to you, she encountered dystocia. Fortunately, with the help of the ghost doctor Fu Cui, the danger was averted. Originally,
With the medical skills of the ghost doctor Fu Cui, both you mother and daughter can be safe, but some people cannot tolerate your mother living in this world."
Qiqi said: "You mean my mother was killed by someone?"
Hong Beimo did not answer her question: "There was originally a portrait of the Crown Princess in the Yun Temple. It was painted by His Majesty himself. Although the painting is also quite charming, it is different from this one painted thirty-eight years ago.
The portraits are still incomparable. You must be curious, why does the emperor have a portrait of the princess? Who painted this portrait thirty-eight years ago?"
Qiqi said nothing, but Hong Beimo had completely attracted her attention.
Hong Beimo slowly stood up and walked a few steps forward, with his hands behind his back, leaving Qiqi with a lonely back: "Ling Jiazi was my only female disciple before she entered the palace. She is not only beautiful,
She was outstanding and highly intelligent. At that time, many people in the court admired her elegance, and there was an endless stream of people asking for marriage proposals. However, she had an arrogant temperament, and of course she looked down on these ordinary people. Later, the then Crown Prince Long Yelin also came to propose marriage.
I wanted to take her as my concubine. I asked Jia Zi what she wanted, and if she was not willing, I would follow her wishes and refuse."
Hong Beimo let out a long sigh and said: "I didn't expect that she would actually agree to this marriage. I found out later. At that time, I traveled around the world in search of the way to the Alchemy Cauldron, and I left many affairs of the Tianji Bureau to her.
Processing, and something unexpected happened while I was away." He turned around and looked at the portrait and said: "This painting was created by a rare genius from Tianlong Temple for hundreds of years.
Painting, his name is Minghui. At that time, there was a period of contact between Tianlong Temple and Tianji Bureau, and Ling Jiazi got to know Minghui because of this. Because they met day and night, the two actually fell in love. This painting was painted at that time.
.According to what I know, Ling Jiazi was secretly interested in Minghui at that time, but Minghui rejected her because of her status as a Buddhist disciple. Ling Jiazi was a woman who dared to love and hate. She also had an arrogant temperament and a high self-esteem.
, after being rejected by Minghui, her temperament changed drastically. At this time, the Crown Prince Long Yelin happened to send someone to propose marriage, and she agreed to become the Crown Princess under such circumstances."
Qiqi clenched her fists. Although the past events that Hong Beimo said were like steel needles piercing her heart, she believed that the truth was not far away. Everything Hong Beimo said was within her control.
Some of the fragmented clues almost fit together.
Hong Beimo said: "This incident has always made me regretful. At that time, I was so focused on searching for the way to the alchemy cauldron that I didn't notice the changes in Ling Jiazi. Even on the day she got married, I was still in Dayong.
Northern Xinjiang, failed to come back to congratulate me. When I came back, she was already eight months pregnant and had lost all her martial arts skills. I asked her what happened, but she always avoided talking about it. She just said that she wanted to spend her life peacefully like this.
.”
Qiqi frowned, Hong Beimo didn't really answer the confusion in her heart, why did the old emperor say that he was her biological father? She couldn't ask these words.
Hong Beimo said: "When your mother was having difficulty giving birth, I invited the ghost doctor Fu Cui to the palace to save her. She could have survived, but she wanted to die. She revealed the truth to me just before she died. She was marrying
Half a month before Long Yelin, Minghui came to her and confessed his feelings to her. Your mother was moved by him and decided to give up everything and elope with him, but she didn't know that Minghui's real purpose was to steal my master's treasure book "Surveying the Sky"
"Baozhuan", your mother used the knowledge she gained from me to find the "Xuntian Baozhuan", and that day they ate the forbidden fruit."
Qi Qi's pretty face heated up. Although she felt ashamed, she still wanted to continue listening.
Hong Beimo said: "Ling Jiazi thought that she could wander around the world with Minghui from now on, but she didn't expect that Minghui was basically lying to her. After getting the "Xuntian Baozhuan", he used the "Void Dharma" to control Ling Jiazi's internal power.
After absorbing it all, when Ling Jiazi woke up, she found that she had lost everything. She knew that everything would be exposed after I came back. She didn't want to live, but she couldn't reconcile herself when she thought of what Minghui had done to her.
She passed away from this world and wanted revenge. She had lost all her martial arts skills and could only rely on the power of the royal family, so she decided to marry into the royal family."
Hong Beimo's face was covered with a layer of compassion: "She did not expect that this decision would be the beginning of another tragedy for her. Ever since Long Xuanen saw her, he was astonished and coveted her beauty.
He used the throne as a threat and asked Long Yelin to give Ling Jiazi his hands. If it were in the past, Ling Jiazi would not be afraid of them, but after she lost her martial arts, she has become a weak and useless person. She cannot control her destiny at all.
The bad luck can be imagined.”
Qiqi's eyes were red. She could not have imagined that her mother's fate would be so miserable.
Hong Beimo said: "When I returned, I found that the "Sky Patrol Book" had been stolen. Also missing was the elixir that I had spent half my life refining. At that time, I thought about what the problem was. Ling Jiazi was too smart.
She concealed the truth from me and took advantage of my eagerness to retrieve the "Xuntian Baozhuan" to ask me to find Minghui for him. Minghui was extremely intelligent. After this incident, he fled Tianlong Temple and disappeared from the world.
, where can I find him? Ling Jiazi was already pregnant at that time. I won't hide it from you. If it weren't for "Xuntian Baozhuan", I wouldn't have tried my best to save her. But I didn't expect that after she gave birth to you, she would be so devoted.
I prayed for death. Before she died, she told me everything. You were not born prematurely, but at full term. You are her and Minghui’s daughter!"
Although Qiqi had vaguely guessed the outcome, she was still deeply shocked when she heard Hong Beimo say these words. She felt as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling her throat, making it impossible for her to breathe.
Hong Beimo said: "I discovered her shrewdness only later. She had been preparing for revenge ever since Minghui abandoned her. But when she found out that she was pregnant with Minghui's flesh and blood, she was filled with despair. She
She was prepared to die, but she also wanted to pave the way for you to live in the palace in the future, so she endured the humiliation and made both Long Xuanen and his son think that you were his biological flesh and blood."
Qiqi was already in tears. It was only today that she learned about her origins. She had never thought or imagined that her mother's fate would be so miserable.
Hong Beimo said: "Your mother is the smartest woman I have ever met. Her biggest setback in life was given by Minghui. In order for you to live well, she mapped out every step of the future for you. She
She saved Quan De'an's life, so Quan De'an worked for her wholeheartedly and always guarded you. She is scheming and good at planning. She even planned things sixteen years later. I know you have control over whether
Little things.”
Qiqi turned her pretty face and quietly wiped away her tears. Her emotions quickly calmed down: "What do you want to gain by telling me this?"
Hong Beimo said: "Although Minghui took away the "Xuntian Baozhuan", he should not be able to understand the secrets in it. I have only understood a small part of this book."
Qiqi said: "Then you will be disappointed. I have never heard of this book at all."
Hong Beimo said: "Memory can be passed down. Ling Jiazi did what I failed to do. Not only did she memorize the entire "Xuntian Baozhuan" in her heart, but she also understood the secrets in it." Hong Beimo said.
Mo stared at Qiqi and said, "This secret has been passed on to you a long time ago."
