"Who ordered my father and my brother to assassinate?"

“…”

"Do you know?"

He held my hands coldly, but when he finished speaking, my hands became cold in an instant.

He looked into my eyes: "You know, who assassinated them, do you?"

My throat was a little dry and I couldn't speak, but under the gaze of those deep eyes, I nodded and said hoarsely: "I know."

"Who is it?"

"Chang...Mingzong."

I heard him take a deep breath.

The originally cold hands immediately became hot, as if a fire suddenly lit up in his body, burning the blood all over his body to a boil. The hot touch made me tremble slightly.

I looked into his eyes and he also looked at me. We often looked at each other like this, sweet and warm, no matter how far or near, but I have never felt this way at this moment. Although it is so close, it feels so far.

I said hoarsely, "Qinghan, what do you want to do?"

“…”

"What do you want to do if you ask?"

"..." He looked at me silently, and did not want to answer. But after a long time, he suddenly said: "Sister just told me that at that time, the emperor caught the assassin, but you have been persuading the emperor to let them go."

“…”

"Later, although beheading was made public, it was also a trick to steal the day and change the day."

“…”

"You asked the emperor to let them go, right?"

My hands trembled in his palms, and I whispered: "Are you blaming me?"

This time, he didn't say anything, but the hanging needle patterns on his eyebrows became deeper, and his eyes were dark and dull.

My breath sank, but my voice still had some unconcealable trembling traces. He said softly: "Qinghan, if you blame me, I have nothing to say. But I just want you to calm down and think about it. If you were facing this at that time, what would you do?"

“…”

"You know Liu Yi - your brother, he is so hurt, and he still wants to entrust me to comfort the emperor and your sister, what is the purpose of?"

“…”

"You once told me that you always feel that you have a responsibility to Yangzhou and to the people in Yangzhou. You want to make that place better and no longer what it used to be. What would you do?"

“…”

"Qinghan, you-"

Before I finished speaking, I felt that he seemed to be scalded and threw away my hand and took a step back.

I stepped forward anxiously: "Qinghan, why don't you think about it-"

"I can't think so much now!" He said hard, his face full of a painful expression: "I can't think so much, I think about my father, my brother, I just think about their tragic death!"

“…”

"No, I can't think of it."

“…”

"I can't think of their tragic death. I, I don't even know what they look like."

“…”

"They were killed before I saw them!"

"Qinghan..."

"I know what you are going to say, I know what you are going to persuade me, maybe even myself will persuade others to do these words-" When he said this, he gritted his teeth and smiled, his eyes trembling as if it was painful: "But now I know that these words, those who have experienced them personally, cannot listen to them at all."

“…”

"Because, only I know this pain!"

This pain...

When I heard him say these three words, my heart felt like I was stabbed, and the pain made me tremble all over my body. I took a step forward and wanted to reach out to grab him, but he took another step back and barely avoided my hand. He shook his head and said slowly: "Now, I just want to avenge, I just want to avenge them both!"

I wanted to say something and calm him down, but when I heard his last sentence, almost gritting my teeth, I felt my throat stammering.

Yes, what should I use to persuade him?

That was his father and his brother. Although they had never seen them, he would treat even a stranger or a mad beggar woman with kindness. How could he face the tragic deaths of his two relatives indifferently?

Who can calmly face the blood hatred of relatives?

But I still wanted to reach out to pull him, but he stepped back step by step. I couldn't even touch him even if I stretched out my hand. I could only look at him and choked up: "Qinghan, don't do this."

He shook his head and looked at me.

"Qinghan..."

He kept shaking his head, retreating continuously, and finally turned around and left.

I stood alone in the empty yard, the cold moonlight shone on me, and I slowly clenched the hand, but there was only a little wind flowing through my fingers.

One night passed.

When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised to find that there was no one in the room.

Even Nian Yun disappeared.

I was frightened and quickly turned over and got out of bed. Before I even had time to put on my shoes, I ran out and pushed open the door. The sun was shining outside, which made me unable to open my eyes. Su Su stood at the gate of the yard. Seeing me coming out, she hurried over and supported me: "Miss, be careful!"

I reached out and grabbed her: "Su Su, where is Qinghan? Where are they?"

Su Su looked at me with some sadness: "They are leaving."

"Leave? When did you leave?"

"It's very early, no, I should say I left at night."

"Why don't you wake me up?"

"Young Master Liu ordered."

"What he ordered? He, will he leave me like this?"

Su Su looked at me sadly and said, "The concubine He kept saying that this was wrong with the eldest lady. She had known about their relationship for a long time, but she refused to tell them that they had suffered the pain of separation of flesh and blood for the past few years. She had been urging Mr. Liu to leave."

“…”

"And Mr. Liu, he, he said-"

I hurriedly grabbed her hand: "What did he say, please say it!"

Su Su whispered: "Young Master Liu also said that he should be separated from you for a while and everyone should calm down. Also, he, he is going to do what he should do, and he doesn't want you to see it too."

"What?!"

My eyes widened in horror - he was going to do what he should do?

Could it be that he really wants to take revenge?

I gritted my teeth and wanted to chase them out. Susu hurriedly grabbed me and said anxiously: "Miss, don't be impulsive. They have been away for a long time. You can't catch up with them even if you go like this!"

I looked up at the front. The road in the valley was empty and there were no people. I didn't even see his back, only the sound of lonely wind was left.

He really left like this?

Seeing me looking into the distance in a daze, Su Su felt distressed and helped me and said, "Miss, this incident has happened. Let's make a long-term plan. You go back to the house first, let's clean up before making a decision, okay?"

“…”

She is right.

Things have happened, Qinghan and the others have left. No matter how painful or sad I am, I have to face the next problems.

I returned to the house, a place that was once so familiar, and suddenly the building was empty, which made me feel so unfamiliar and chill. After finally finishing it, Su Su barely found the ingredients to make me a breakfast. At this moment, Wei Yang and the others rushed from the town.

As soon as he saw me, he immediately said, "Cousin, what's wrong with you and Mr. Liu?"

I was also a little surprised: "Why are you back?"

"We were in the town and had hired a carriage to wait for you, but we saw him bringing Concubine He, but we didn't see you. He said you were still at the foot of the western mountain and asked me to come and pick you up and protect you, but he left first."

“…”

He said, frowned and looked at me: "You guys have a fight?"

I sat at the table, put my hands weakly on the table, and smiled bitterly: "It would be great if I really just quarrel."

Wei Yang immediately sat opposite me: "What's wrong?"

“…”

"No, he has someone outside, right? That one is so close to him, isn't it-"

I was in a low mood, but when I heard this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't talk nonsense, that's his sister."

"Ah? Sister?" Wei Yang looked at me in surprise: "Then, isn't she a concubine? She is Mr. Liu's sister? Then Mr. Liu isn't he considered the national uncle?"

The uncle...

Yes, his identity has suddenly become the uncle from his previous son-in-law.

But I feel that these identities that look extremely prominent are of no benefit to him. The higher his official position, the less smile they have on his face. Those identities are like shackles, layer by layer on his neck, and now, the heaviest shackle that I least want to see appears.

That shackle is called hatred!

Wei Yang frowned and said with concern: "Cousin, even if that's the case, you two won't have to leave separately, right? Are you really quarreling?"

I didn't have time to explain the details to him now, and just asked, "He said he wanted to leave first, did he say where he was going?"

Wei Yang frowned and thought for a while, and said, "He didn't tell me, but he seemed to have explained to the driver who drove that he was going to Chengdu."

Chengdu!

My heart sinks again.

He already knew that the person who assassinated Liu Shizhou and Liu Yi was from Changmingzong. Now he went to Chengdu, obviously he was going to find those people.

He really wants to take revenge?!

But now, when Pei Yuanhao was about to enter Xichuan and go to Chengdu to negotiate with the Yan family, Qinghan was really blinded by hatred. Will he be fighting at this time?

This way, it won’t work!
