Chapter 17 - All Dead

In her previous life, she also liked good-looking people, and would occasionally look at Third Senior Brother and gawk, because Third Senior Brother was the best-looking person in their Taiji Sect.

However, it was limited to that.

When Master proposed to marry her off to Third Senior Brother, she didn't agree.

For one thing, she only thought that Third Senior Brother was good-looking, and had no feelings for him as a man or a woman.

Secondly, at that time, she was dedicated to the Dao, only wanting to cultivate higher and deeper Xuan Arts, pursuing ascension and immortality, and had no interest at all in marrying someone.

Master did not force her to do so, and later, Third Senior Brother also married a Senior Sister.

Therefore, it was quite normal for Mother to want to see what her husband looked like.

She had been a widow for many years, so marrying would be just right. Maybe if Qi Mu Jiu was better looking, she would be willing to give her body to him.

Sure enough, just a quarter of an hour's time, Ye Mengwen came back happily, softly said: "Yuqi, that Qi Mujiu looks quite good, look Siswen, your grandfather said, he is also a scholar, as for the success or failure to ... look at the future, I do not force. "

That person is quite afraid of her, Fang has been backward, as if she will put him how, Ye Mengwen some want to laugh.

"Good, whether mother and him have a destiny or not, we will know in some days, Ohio time has arrived, mother can sleep peacefully?" Jiang Yuqi learned Ye Mengwen's tone and asked with a smile.

"Sleep sleep sleep." Ye Mengwen nodded her head in a hurry, she had long been sleepy.

The hour was already late, ancient people slept early and got up early, if they didn't sleep again, they wouldn't be able to get up first thing in the morning.

After learning the truth, Ye Mengwen instead felt that the big stone that had been pressed on her head all these years was gone, her heart was unprecedentedly comfortable, and she fell back to sleep.

Jiang Yuqi, who was lying beside her, however, felt a bit unsettled in his heart, and although he closed his eyes, he did not fall asleep.

The powerful soul force and the innate sensitivity and ability to sense danger of the Xuanmen told her that something might happen tonight.

The night slowly deepened.

In the leftmost house against the wall in the backyard, a person dressed in black appeared.

Qi Mujiu, who was sleeping soundly on his bed, was called up and his entire body was still a bit confused.

He subconsciously wanted to pick up the fire refractor from the table to light the oil lamp, only to have his hand pressed down.

"Uncle Nine, it's me, Zhi Xuan." Qi Zhi Xuan lowered his voice and said."

"Zhi Xuan." Qi Mu Jiu was excited at the sound of his voice, but the house was too dim and he didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly at all, he only felt that his voice was particularly familiar, it was indeed Qi Zhi Xuan's voice.

"I'll light the lamp, don't worry, I get up at night for convenience, all light the lamp, Ye family people won't suspect anything, at this hour, everyone has long been asleep." Qi Mu Jiu said while touching the fire folders from the table and lit the oil lamp.

When Qi Zhi Xuan saw that the room was lit up, he took off the bronze mask on his face.

"Zhi Xuan, it's really you!" Qi Mu Jiu was overjoyed and tugged on Qi Zhi Xuan's arm, "How is it over there in the capital? Did my Father Emperor know that I was implicated by Big Brother? Father Emperor is wise and honorable, he must have known it long ago, he sent you to pick me up and return me to the capital, right?"

Qi Zhi Xuan didn't say anything as he sniffed.

"I know, even big brother was wrongly accused, he has been the crown prince for more than forty years, if he wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled long ago, why wait until now? He will stay up for a few more years and ten years, when father returns to the west, this throne will still be his, why bother to rebel?" Qi Mu Jiu said with a certainty: "Father must know that he wrongly blamed big brother, wrongly blamed me, already released big brother from the heavenly prison, and also sent you guys to take me back."

If they had come a few hours earlier, he would not have had to marry Ye Mengwen.

The marriage contract had already been made, so he couldn't even deny it if he wanted to.

Qi Mujiu's mind recalled the scene before he went to sleep when Ye Mengwen came to him.

That woman was gentle and soft looking, but when she spoke, her nature was revealed and she was quite shrewish.

Of course, he also got a good look at Ye Mengwen's looks, which were still very good.

Qi Zhi Xuan's complexion was a bit complicated after hearing Qi Mu Jiu's words.

This ninth uncle of his, is the emperor's youngest son, and is still the first son, don't look at the ninth uncle this year has been thirty-one years old, in fact, living a very simple life, than his eighteen years old teenager is still naïve it, and naïve quite a lot.

"Ninth uncle, the crown prince killed himself in the east palace half a month ago, only the emperor issued a holy decree, secret, and ... the empress mother ..."

"What happened to my mother's mother?" Qi Mu Jiu hadn't waited for Qi Zhi Xuan to finish his sentence, and hurriedly tugged on his arm to ask.

"After the Empress Mother learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had killed himself, she stabbed the dagger into her chest in ... front of the Emperor, saying that she would never forgive the Emperor." Qi Zhi Xuan said with red eyes.

After Qi Mu Jiu heard his words, he only felt a softness in his body and fell violently to the ground.

"No ... it can't be, how could my mother ... how could she kill herself, and big brother ... how could he die, it won't be ... "Qi Mu Jiu completely couldn't believe what he heard.

He is the youngest among the emperors, and is also the emperor's oldest son.

The year he was born, the emperor was thirty-eight years old, nearly forty years old.

His own brother, the Crown Prince, who was born from the same mother, was a full twenty years older than him.

Qi Mu Jiu had grown up in everyone's favor, getting the wind and the rain.

But now, he had lost his mother and elder brother who favored him the most, and all of this was caused by his father.

"Ninth Uncle, I am here to protect you by order of my grandfather, there are people in the capital who want to do you harm." Qi Zhi Xuan squatted down, gently patted Qi Mu Jiu's shoulder, and whispered, "I know that ninth uncle's heart is very sad, but a person can't be brought back from the dead, what ninth uncle has to do now is to take care of his own body, and can't let those people who want to harm you to have their way."

"We are still looking forward to the day when Ninth Uncle can return to the capital to find out who is behind this and avenge the Empress Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Qi Zhixuan sighed and said.

His mother, was the niece of the Empress, and of course their family was towards the Crown Prince and Qi Mu Jiu.

His Highness the Crown Prince was virtuous and wise outside, and had been doing everything a Crown Prince should do all these years, and was very filial to the Emperor, but he never expected to be slandered for rebelling, and the evidence of his guilt was overwhelming.

The emperor was furious and imprisoned his highness in the east palace, not expecting his highness to kill himself.

The Empress Mother couldn't accept the news of her son's death and went with him.

"Revenge?" Qi Mu Jiu vigorously pounded his head, his face filled with tears, "Zhi Xuan ... how do you let Uncle Jiu take revenge? The mother is so smart, actually killed herself in front of the face of the father emperor, visible ... big brother rebel this matter, framed him is not someone else, it is the father emperor, otherwise the mother will never do this, you and I said ... how do I want to take revenge? Go back to rebel and kill the father emperor?"
