Chapter 648: Your Past, My Youth

pain, it hurt so much that his whole body was convulsing. 。Ye Qing Tong looked at this scene and suddenly felt a little regret. Such torture should be experienced by Li Xiao Han, why didn't she just...A gentle breeze blew through, sweeping away the yellow sand. Everything seemed as if it had never happened, except for Su Yuan's face etched with terror. 。Empress Dowager Yu said a few words to ease the tension, saving some face for Su Yuanren. The banquet then officially began. 。Feng Zhaolian started talking to Ye Wenyan again, continuing the topic from before. 。She told Ye Wen— “There are people in your Beiji who colluded with the Suyuan people. Because three years ago, when the prince of Suyuan proposed to me, he sent a batch of gifts to our house. My mother found something unusual among them. It wasn't a product of Suyuan, but rather it seemed to be from Beiji.” 。I remembered it was an embroidery. The pattern seemed to depict the life of people from Central Plains, yet it didn't quite look right because there were some things I didn't recognize, and my mother had never seen them either. 。If anyone on this land were to live such a life, they could only be the people of Northern Qi. 。 Unfortunately, I didn't know you back then. My past life memories hadn't awakened either, so I didn't keep the painting. I wasn't very interested in anything about Northern Qi at the time. Now, even thinking about what I embroidered back then makes me forgetful. 。But Ah Yan, this is a message because my mother, regardless of whether it's Gui Yue or Bei Qi, has no dealings with Su Yuan. Even if merchants traded with each other, it would be impossible to trade something so valuable. 。Since the embroidery was brought to my house as a dowry, it must be very valuable. After all, everything else was also very precious. 。Therefore, we speculate that the person on the Northern Qi side who corresponded with Su Yuan should also be a high-ranking official. 。If they can give each other such things, there must be some unspoken deals between them. 。Night Wenyan narrowed his eyes, a name suddenly swirling in his mind: Quan Ji. 。Apparently, the person standing out in the open is Quánjì. 。But there was still another possibility... Her mind sank, that premonition she had long ago resurfaced. 。The calculations are plain for all to see. Everyone knows that the current Regent King holds the most power. If anyone were to plot a coup, it would undoubtedly be this King. 。But there's an old saying: the more something is in plain sight, the more likely it is to be cannon fodder. 。Those who truly harbor ill intentions will carefully conceal themselves in the most inconspicuous corners, engaging in the most honorable and upright deeds, yet their hearts are filled with the dirtiest and most despicable thoughts. 。She really wants to know if there was such a person in the Northern Qi Dynasty, unfortunately, it is still unknown at present. 。"Ayan, do you suspect anyone" Feng Zhaolian asked. "Like the Regent King, could it be him"Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and nodded. "It's possible..." 。He was already acquainted with Prince Suyuan, according to what I heard from the Emperor. This time when people from Suyuan arrived in Beizhi, they had a very pleasant first meal with the Regent King. 。I suppose so, he's the Regent King, towering over the Emperor half a head. He holds all the real power in the court. 。Although the Emperor has grown a lot in the past six months, he still needs to listen to the Regent King when handling important state affairs. 。How could someone like that possibly lack any ambition, and how could they possibly be so alone 。Then, “What are you trying to achieve by befriending Suyuan people” Feng Zhaolian mused as she analyzed. "I don't know how much you know about them, but I do have a certain understanding of them." 。That broken country, which is only a tiny place, had a big windstorm that blew sand all over the town. 。So people there cover their faces with veils when they go out, which makes them seem quite mysterious. Now they've even started categorizing the veils by rank. 。But I think that thing was originally made to block wind and sand. 。And their clans are also not numerous, they cannot match one state or province of your Northern Qi, and comparing them to Gui Yue is even impossible. 。Then there are more women than men, which is very strange. Out of ten newborn children, eight would be girls. 。So in Suyuan, whether commoners or nobles, every man would marry several wives. Even if they didn't want to, the women would try their best to get married, even going so far as to forgo dowry and bringing their own wealth. 。My father once said, many women from Su originated families were influenced by those spices. They didn't want to be this way, but there was nothing they could do to change it. 。Suyuan's fragrance is related to the inheritance of the high priest lineage, so no one can change the fact that the whole country is enveloped in the scent. Gradually, it influences the offspring. 。Ayin, the high priest of Suyuan isn't referring to a specific individual. The high priest is a collective, a large family. 。They have inherited secrets passed down for centuries, which allow them to break free from the constraints of spiritual power. They can perform illusions even without spiritual energy. 。As she arrived, she leaned closer to Ye Wen's ear and whispered, "Just like you..." 。"

Ye Wen used flowers to awaken the spirit, apart from Shi Liyuan knowing this, only Feng Zhaolian and Ye Si know about it " 。Feng Zhaolian's words reminded her that since she could use external objects to generate spiritual power, why couldn't others But if the other party was a person from Su Yuan, this would be a big deal. 。Halfway through the banquet, both I and the guests had drunk quite a bit of wine. 。Lou Qinghan didn't know who had gotten to him, but his face was a bit flushed right now. 。Only Amran remained calm, refusing all persuasion, her gaze flitting occasionally across Ye Wen's face. 。Feng Zhaolian stopped clinging to Ye Wenyan and went to talk to Ye Si Jie very openly. 。At first sight, the two hit it off and found they had similar temperaments. They quickly set up a drinking competition, taking turns toasting each other cup after cup. Finally, they grabbed the entire wine jar and drank together. 。 Quan Qing tried to dissuade Feng Zhaolian, but Ye Fei Zhou couldn't stop Ye Si Jie either. In the end, it was Empress Yu who spoke: "Anyway, they are all here, let them drink. If they really drink too much, just come back to Changxin Palace with me." 。The two people who were drinking listened to this and became even more unrestrained. Those who tried to persuade them stopped trying and simply let them drink freely. 。

Quan Qinghua sat in Feng Zhaolian's position, stared at Aman for a while, and then said to Yè Wenyan: "Your jewelry is selling well, but this king thinks that what you want is not whether the jewelry sells well or how much silver it earns."

"That's why I laughed," Ye Wen said, "What kind of feedback do you think the Fourth Highness wants"Quan Qinghua shook his head. "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Just that tonight, it seems the Great Priest of Su Yuan was quite interested in you." 。"Hmm!" Ye Wenyan only hummed once, and then he didn't continue the topic, just drinking his own wine. 。Then, seeing that she didn't reply, Quan Qing stopped talking about the jewelry and instead asked her another question: "Do you plan to get involved in the affairs of the Duke of Su’s mansion You know what I mean." 。"

Ye Wenyan turned her head to look at him, and after a long silence, she smiled and said, "Brother Shi, why do you ask me such questions I'm just a woman. How could a woman participate in court affairs Besides, that matter is also an internal affair of the powerful family. Whether it is appropriate to intervene or not is something for you princes to consider>>> 。"

Qu Qinghua also smiled, “We princes don't have a say in this matter. The only one who should consider it is the current emperor.” 。That's why I asked you, he keeps calling you sister, must be wanting your protection. 。"But I can't protect him" 。She looked at Quan Qingcheng, “People grow up eventually. I can protect him for a while, but not forever.” 。I have my own things to do, and it's impossible for me to dedicate my life to guarding this dynasty for him. Besides, he will eventually ascend the throne and rule himself; it's impossible for him to remain a figurehead emperor who only writes his imperial edicts forever. 。If he wants to handle that matter, let him handle it his own way. If he doesn't want to, then it's his choice to compromise the face of his family. 。No matter what choice he makes, I will support him. 。"If he wants to control, but doesn't have the ability to control, what can be done" "Then wait until he has the ability before thinking about this matter. If he never has the ability in his lifetime, then this throne won't be secure for him anyway." 。She spread out her hands, palms up, showing Quan Qing, "Brother Shixiong, everyone only has two hands. We use our own hands to do our own things. As for others, helping is a matter of sentiment, not helping is a matter of principle." 。I certainly hope he can secure the throne, but if he's not up to the task, there's nothing I can do to force him to stay there. 。But he is my brother, this matter can't be escaped. So even if someone pushes him off the throne, I will firmly catch him underneath and then take his hand, leading him through life safely and peacefully. 。She was silent for a long time, and Quan Qinghua also stopped talking for a while. 。Finally, when the two of them reacted again, they both looked at each other simultaneously and smiled. She said: "Thank you, senior brother, for always helping me" 。“He: “Thank you for always helping Qingcheng” 。" He is the embodiment of her longing, a continuation of her past lives, and also a shadow of his youthful innocence. 。"You've made all the arrangements, where are you going" he asked Ye Wenyan, "But will you come back"She thought for a moment, pointing in one direction, "I'm going there, I should...probably come back!""Probably come back, that is, there's still a possibility you won't come back..." 。“Everything has a possibility, in this world, there are countless possibilities for all things.” 。"If you don't come back, I'll give all the silver you made selling jewelry to Qingcheng." 。" "Good " 。She laughed like a child, "Thank you, senior brother" 。Although I was angry with you before, my senior brother is still willing to help me. Senior Brother Ming is a kind and good person, and I will always remember him. 。"When are you planning to leave" "After the palace banquet!" Ye Wen replied honestly, "The Hua Palace banquet is just about..." 。Before I leave, I will make some arrangements, but it's impossible to take care of everything. So, if something happens in Lin'an when I'm gone, I hope that Senior Brother can lend a helping hand to Qingcheng. 。"Don't worry " 。He raised his glass to her, clinking it against hers, sealing their promise. 。As night deepened, the banquet in the wind drew to a close. 。Last night, Ye Si was drunk and insisted on moving to Chen Wangfu with Feng Zhaolian. Qu Qinghua didn't take her, only supporting Feng Zhaolian as they walked out. 。Unfortunately, Feng Zhaolian was not cooperative and struggled against him, refusing to go back with him. 。He was helpless. He scooped the person up and quickly left Yuhuage. 。A palace maid sent Su Yuan off, while Quan Qingyun was responsible for sending the Night family siblings out of the palace. Zhu'er stayed behind with Ye Wenyan. 。Quan Qingcheng looked at Ye Wenyan, with a hint of nervousness, "I know you have something to tell me, sister. Let's go to Chengguang Hall!"d sound. 。"I'll walk with you, what do you think""It's fine." 。She immediately refused, “I wasn’t even planning on bringing the children. Just give me and Shi Liyuan some private space!” With this ex...
