Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero - v2 Chapter 137
It’s not that there is no way to crack this game, it’s just that Qi You doesn’t know if he still has time.
He calmly instructed Qi San: “I’ll write a letter to Qi Yi, you will go down and make arrangements now, mobilize three teams of personal soldiers to prepare, and set off with this king the day after, we will go straight to Jinzhou.
“The other personal troops… Unless there is a special mission, they will all assemble to Cannes City at the fastest speed. After the whole army is completed, they will follow us and rush towards the capital as well.”
“Your Highness…” Qi San frowned and shouted.
Qi You raised his hand to stop him: “According to my instructions, I need to rush to the capital to ‘rescue’ the emperor before the will arrives, so that he will no longer be coerced by Zhu Yan.”
Qi San closed his eyes, then straightened his back, answered “yes”, and went straight to prepare.
The little girl was still in Qi You’s arms, and when she saw that the adult who robbed her of her father was gone, she put all her thoughts on Qi You.
She tried to call, “Daddy?”
Qi You’s eyes turned to her, the original Ling Li was gone, and her eyes were full of warmth.
He turned the little girl to his left arm, while the other hand took water and grinded ink with one hand.
Qingshui was dyed deep black in the inkstone
Qi You said: “Before I left last year, I wanted to give you a name, but your mother refused.
“She said she would wait until I came back, because there is a thought in her heart that people will be more attached to life and their return home.”
As Qi You spoke, Cao Mi’s figure appeared uncontrollably in his mind.
The curvature of the corners of his mouth rose, and finally he couldn’t hold back, and laughed directly: “She always has these strange thoughts, right?”
The little girl didn’t understand what he meant at all, but she was keenly aware that the atmosphere was a little depressed, so she didn’t dare to speak.
So King Bei’an paused for a while, and finally said something she could understand: “Daddy is leaving again…Daddy is not a good daddy.”
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then wrapped around his neck in aggrieved, shouting: “Don’t go!”
Qi You tried hard to make himself ignore that sentence.
He said: “This time, you can’t delay it any longer. You should have an official name instead of being called by their ‘sister sister’ all the time.”
The little girl raised her head from his arms.
After a while, there were two tears in the corners of her eyes.
Looking at her favorite daddy recently, she tilted her head and said suspiciously, “Huh?”
Qi You grinded the ink, took his favorite wolf hair, dipped it in the ink and picked up the pen.
Immediately, he wrote the two characters “Long Fei Feng Wu” on the paper – Qi Xin.
“Qi Xin.” He looked at the girl in his arms, “Xin, the rising sun means the rising sun, and the sound is ‘new’, which means a good beginning and a promising future.
“Your arrival is the heartfelt expectation of your parents, and your growth will witness a history engraved in the mountains and rivers.
“From now on, this word will be your name.
“……Like it?”
The little girl stretched out her hand, pointed to the wet ink marks on the fingertip, and repeated, “Qi Xin?”
Qi You smiled and nodded.
He called out to the guards outside the door and ordered them to pick up the wet nurse from the little girl’s room.
When the nurse and the maid arrived, the ink on the paper was dry.
Qi You handed the paper and the little girl to the nurse’s arms.
“Daddy still has some things to do. You go back first. In the evening, Daddy will go back to accompany you to have dinner.” He instructed in a warm voice.
Xiao Qixin, who was holding the paper in both hands, puffed out her cheeks, then nodded and said softly, “Okay.”
Her words were no longer as full of anger as usual, and the grievances were evident in the twisted little expression.
Qi You’s eyes were deep, and he finally said, “Go”, and went straight back to the study without looking back.
——
That night, Cao Mi also knew the news.
She had long understood that Qi You had a high position and had too many burdens on her body. But after so long, it’s still hard to get used to her husband being away for a long time.
But the noble princess can’t be like the one-year-old little daughter in the family, pulling the corners of the man’s clothes and crying so hard that she can’t even eat.
Her face was still calm, and she even had the intention to help Qi You pack two clothes.
Sitting under the lamp, Qi You saw that she had been busy for a while, but she didn’t want to sit in front of him.
He opened his mouth, and he had a lot to say, but he didn’t seem to need to.
Finally, he said, “This time…if it goes well, it shouldn’t take long before I’ll be back.
“The matter of the Rong family is over, when the time comes, I will ask the emperor for a favor, and our family will go back to Bei’an to live.
“Liaozhou’s soil and water don’t support people. When you return to Bei’an, you can all rest well.”
Cao Mi lowered his eyes and did not respond.
She pondered these words of Qi You several times in her heart, and finally asked: “What if… it doesn’t go well?”
Qi You’s fist clenched in a place she couldn’t see.
He said: “No.
“How long has it been since Zhu Yan entered the Central Plains, he doesn’t have time to run too much business, his foundation is very shallow, and he can’t fight against me.”
“But there is an emperor behind him.” Cao Mi looked at him.
She took a deep breath and asked, “Qi You, I’ll ask you… No matter whether the emperor really wants to embarrass you or is coerced, if you arrive in the capital, they will tie you up if you remove your armor, or even be on the spot. If you want to take your head to the temple, what are you going to do?”
“Where did it get to this point?” Qi You looked at Cao Mi and shook his head helplessly.
“Yes, I’m a woman and I don’t know about the court. What I said might make you laugh and laugh.” Cao Mi was so angry that he threw away a half-packed cloak and said angrily, “But I’ll just ask. You, when the dynasties and dynasties were in turmoil, which one of the things that happened followed the etiquette and laws? And which one was not shocking?”
Qi You hurried forward and hugged her into his arms.
He patted Cao Mi’s back lightly and reassured: “I know you are worried.
“If this trip goes well, everything is easy to say. If it doesn’t go well, I won’t be foolish and loyal.
“Don’t worry, the worst outcome is just to return to Liaozhou and defend the territory. If I really want to get to this point, I won’t be merciful.”
Cao Mi watched him for a long time through the tears in his eyes.
After a long while, she nodded: “Well.”
After calming down, the princess took out a kit from a locked box in the house.
Qi You was a little surprised: “What is this?”
Cao Mi was a little embarrassed and turned his face away.
She coughed and explained: “This kit contains a note I wrote… I thought about it for a long time, you take it with you, if you really encounter a life-and-death problem that is difficult to decide, you can take it with you. Take it apart and look at it.”
This kind of bridge segment Cao Mi has only seen in costume dramas, but this era is ancient, and people like Qi You seem to like this kind of thing.
So she followed suit and came up with something like this.
Qi You nodded knowingly and took the thing.
In front of Cao Mi, he put the kit into his arms and hid it close to him: “Don’t worry, princess, this king will take good care of this thing.”
Seeing his serious attitude, Cao Mi also let out a sigh of relief.
Two days later, Qi You led the troops to set off according to the plan.
It had been several years since the family left Jinzhou, and Cao Mi’s memory of the capital seemed to be a little blurry.
She didn’t know what Qi You would face when she went, so she could only pray some prayers in her heart.
Xiao Qixin, who had already set her name, watched Qi Ji go away with her, and suddenly asked, “Daddy, come back?”
Cao Mi understood what she meant, thought for a while and replied, “Well, when the winter snow falls and melts and Qi Xin’s favorite magnolia flower blooms again, Daddy will come back.”
Qi Xin pinched the chubby hand for a while, and suddenly said, “It’s been a long time!”
“Not long.” Cao Mi scratched her little nose and imitated her tone.
Qi Xin pouted.
She said, “No, flower, yes, daddy, okay?”
“That won’t work!” Cao Mi looked at her with a feigned embarrassment.
Seeing her face collapsed again, Cao Mi smiled and said, “Hua Hua and Daddy, we Qi Xin will have both.”
Xiao Qixin then raised her head, clapped her hands and said, “Okay!”
After appeasing his little daughter, Cao Mi looked at the team that had become incomparably small, sighed, and under the service of the maid, took the four children down the city wall and returned to the inner city.
But in fact, beyond her expectations, the things she worried about during this period of time did not happen at all!
Qi You’s hunch was actually very accurate – he ran out of time.
Before the people he led came to Cannes, they received news from Qi Yi from Beijing.
After seeing the clues that Qi Yi found out, Qi You sneered, and simply stopped the hasty march.
He brought people back to Cannes City, and then went back to the palace to live. Instead of going south, he started to deal with various affairs in the city. Not only did he solve the internal affairs of Liaozhou that were left over from the past, but he also secretly controlled Li Father-in-law, this unstable factor.
Then, he waited for two more days, and sure enough, he came to the messenger team of the imperial court as mentioned in Qi Yixin’s letter.
The leader was a stranger, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Qi You could tell from his accent—he was from the southwest.
Obviously, this is Zhu Yan’s subordinate.
He was also completely surprised that King Bei’an would appear in Cannes, but it made it easier for him to do business.
According to the etiquette system, the crowd put on a posture that symbolized the majesty of the emperor.
Qi You wore a royal robe, a crown, and a seal, and knelt down in front of everyone.
The blue smoke curled up on the desk, and the surroundings were so silent that even the wind disappeared.
The **** with a shrill voice squeezed his throat and announced the decree.
The word on the imperial decree pointed out that the king of Bei’an colluded with the royal court of the Rong family and lied about the battle situation.
The evidence is conclusive, and the crime should be punished.
The attendant next to the **** served a bottle of poisonous wine at the right time. This was the last dignity that the sage gave King Bei’an in the face of blood relatives.
The execution needs to be carried out immediately, but the execution place has been moved from the open air to the indoor.
The eunuchs left the King of Bei’an and Jinjiu alone in the house in accordance with the rules of the dynasty for the death of the royal family, but they took people to guard the surrounding area.
There was silence inside and outside the palace. The butler cooperated with the arrangement of the people coming from the imperial court, brought the palace guards and servants outside the courtyard, and closed the courtyard door.
At this time, the envoys from the imperial court represented the supreme king, and they were the servants of sinful ministers.
In the house, Qi You remained motionless, silently looking at the glass of poisonous wine.
The eunuchs guarding the window could see his state. As long as the King of Bei’an did not drink alcohol, they would sing a special song every once in a while to urge him.
After a quarter of an hour, Qi You finally moved.
He reached into his arms and took out the kit that Cao Mi had given him before he left.
