Chapter 631 Rain
With the order from the city, the 30,000 Tiance Army put down their weapons, slowly walked out of Chengtian Gate, and went to the designated place to accept custody.
This rebellion that had been brewing for many years and racked its brains on both sides, was calmed down in less than half a day.
In fact, in Qin Lei's eyes, the seemingly powerful rebellion ended like a rolling soup and pouring snow from the moment the old empress dowager jumped.
To be honest, for him, for Daqin, it was indeed the best result to be able to quell the rebellion and uproot the Li family with minimal losses.
But when he thought of the scene of the old woman jumping down from the city, he couldn't help but feel sour.
In fact, his heart has always been very hard. Perhaps because of the transfer student, Qin Lei has no feelings for his father, mother, brother, and sister. Even the eldest prince with the best relationship is more like friends than brothers.
But why did he want to cry? Qin Lei had to close his eyes to stop the tears from rolling down his eye sockets. He didn't know what kind of feeling this was? He was reluctant to leave, sad, and seemed to be very heartbroken!
He didn't have much contact with Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, and he had no more than five contacts alone. But every time he clearly felt like yesterday, scenes appeared in his mind.
He especially remembered the old lady's loving gaze, her earnest teachings, her sincere appreciation for every little progress she made, and everything she did silently for herself.
Only by giving without asking for anything, great sound, great love is silent!
Yes, Qin Lei was finally sure that the emperor's grandmother loved her deeply, just like every ordinary grandmother in this world who loved her grandson, gave herself the most selfless love...
If this is not considered love? Then there should be nothing in this world that deserves this word, right?
A muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the gloomy sky, and the raindrops as big as beans fell down. The guards quickly moved the old lady's body to the carriage, but Qin Lei was still standing straight in the open air, allowing the rain to wet his whole body.
Prince, it’s raining heavily, so let’s get in the car.” Shi Gan came over with an umbrella, but he pushed it away rudely and roared in a low voice: “Get away, no one is allowed to get close to me!”
Shi Gan and Qin Lei Guards had to throw away their umbrellas and stand in the distance to defend the prince who seemed to be in a low tide.
Qin Lei looked up at the sky, and the hot tears and the cold rain rolled down his cheeks. He thanked God for giving himself, who was unfortunately born in the imperial family, a precious family affection; he thanked God for giving such a timely rain that could make him cry happily!
Looking up at the gloomy rain clouds without a moment, Qin Lei seemed to see a golden door above the thick clouds. His old lady stood at the door and smiled kindly at him.
Qin Lei stretched out his arms and wanted to hold her hand, but the door and the figure were getting farther and farther away until it was blurred and could no longer be seen...
"Grandma, go!" Qin Lei used all his strength and shouted loudly: "The grandson will miss you forever!!!"
After saying that, he wiped away his tears and turned around step by step in the rain. He did not walk into Chengtian Gate as everyone expected, but exited the inner city from Luoyang Gate.
Shi Gan and the others quickly followed, and Zhao Chengsi and the masked woman also followed behind and walked out of Luoyang Gate.
Qin Lei wandered aimlessly in the rain until he was so cold that he trembled, and then walked into a teahouse next to him... Although he felt very sad, he did not dare to let himself get sick.
Because there was a big change in Kyoto today, there were no guests in the teahouse, only the boss and a friend were chatting together.
I heard the little work plan say, "Boss, today the war is in chaos, why don't we close our business and avoid the limelight?"
"Silly words." The boss rolled his eyelids and said, "If there is really something wrong, can you avoid it when you close the door?"
The young man was about to praise the boss, but he heard him say slowly: "I saw it last night. Our King of Wucheng led a million troops into the city in the second half of the night. What a good guy, I stuffed Chengtianmen Square into a full circle!"
"So many people? Can you put them down?" The young man said skeptically: "Remember to attend the military parade of Mr. Zhaowu, isn't it full of only 200,000 troops?"
The boss also felt that he had been hyped a little, and he couldn't get out of the market for a while. When he saw Qin Lei coming in, he trembled and said, "I don't know how to say hello to the guests when they come. No matter how lazy you are, you can't eat!"
The young man stuck out his tongue and muttered softly: 'Every time I was asked, I would do this...' Before the boss could show his power again, he quickly walked over and greeted the guest who was covered in water and said: "Young master, you're soaked up. Come back and change your clothes, and then come to the pot of ginger tea to warm your body, don't catch a cold..."
As they were talking, they saw a group of black-clothed clothes following in, a general in military uniform and a masked woman with a hot body. These people stuffed a small shop. Except for the woman, the rest were soaked, but they all stood there motionless, letting the rain on their bodies slam into the ground.
"You guys are soaked. You're almost there to change your clothes from behind. Then you can warm up your body with a pot of ginger tea. Don't catch a cold..." The young man said in his little mouth, but the shopkeeper covered his mouth from behind and dragged him behind.
"What are the instructions of a few masters? Just do the small shop as you want." The boss has opened a store for decades and has seen countless people. Naturally, he will not be as good as a young man.
"Just do as that boy said." The beautiful woman sat opposite the man who came in first, opened her red lips and said.
The boss looked at the only man sitting again. He understood that this was the boss, and the rest of the people followed him in.
Qin Lei nodded, and then the boss asked the young master and others to go to the back to keep the fire warm.
He and the black guard were extremely well equipped, and they had corresponding waterproof designs on the armor. In fact, they were not wet. They quickly packed up and walked out again. However, Zhao Chengsi was trembling with a thermos inside and trembled.
Qin Lei returned to the front hall. The woman had already taken off the veil and was sitting next to the coffee table, holding an exquisite bamboo cup and sipping it in small mouthfuls.
Qin Lei sat down opposite her, and the woman put down the teacup and poured a cup for him and said, "I didn't expect you to have some true feelings for the emperor and grandmother."
Looking at the leisurely white air in the cup, Qin Lei whispered: "She is really good to me."
"Not necessarily," the woman shook her head and smiled, "How many times have you seen her? I was taught by her since she was a child." This woman was the head of the royal spy, the eldest princess Heyang. Her eyes were filled with remembrance, but her words were never tender: "From what I saw and heard, kindness is just her appearance, but she is actually extremely selfish."
"I know everything you said." Qin Lei said calmly: "But she is kind to me from beginning to end."
"Maybe it's pretending?" Princess Heyang was very keen to provoke discord, and had reached the point where she could not let go of the dead.
"Even if she is pretending," Qin Lei looked at Heyang, and after she showed joy, she slowly said: "If she can be consistent, it's not pretending."
The joy on Heyang's face flashed and he wanted to find a way to instigate her again. But Qin Lei interrupted her rudely, his eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing the princess' eyes, and said in a voice with ice chips: "Do you want to challenge me?"
Princess Heyang was furrowed all over by his eyes, and covered her mouth and chuckled: "I don't dare. Who doesn't know that King Wucheng is already the Ding King who is powerful in the world? Then will he take my poor sister seriously?"
"I have always been right to things and not people." Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "If you offend me, it will be useless even if you are your own father."
"Brother's words are so heartbreaking." Princess Heyang suddenly shouted and said with a grudge: "I'll ask you, have you ever ruined your good things?"
Qin Lei slowly shook his head and said, "Never."
"More than nothing?" Princess Heyang said with a grudge: "Sister has helped you achieve good things. If it weren't for my secret help, could you easily hold the beauty? There's no trouble at all?"
Qin Lei knew that she was talking about Shi Yun's incident, so he felt embarrassed and said, "Shi Yun said that if you have time, please go to Jingshan City. She... we want to thank you very well."
"This is a little conscience," Heyang giggled, "Don't worry, it's certain to bother you. As long as you don't bother me, you will be fine." He said seriously, "This time I will help you catch all the Li clans in one place, which is my conspiracy."
When Qin Lei was used to her inappropriate appearance, he was quite uncomfortable with her appearance. After a long time, he reacted and said, "You want to join the gang?"
"It's not me, but us," Heyang nodded and smiled, "It's the same as finding a man. You should start as soon as possible. When you are the only one, even if I join, I can't sell it at a good price."
Without listening to her nonsense, Qin Lei asked in a deep voice: "Are you referring to you and Zhao Chengsi?"
Heyang nodded again and said, "I have decided to recruit him as my son-in-law. Your future master will not disagree, right?"
"I haven't promised you to join the group yet." Qin Lei frowned slightly.
"Forget it, who doesn't know who." Heyang giggled: "Fifth brother, you are a big deal. Can you bear to be the Kyoto Bingma Temple? Can you bear to be the royal spy?"
"Yes." Qin Lei decisively said: "If I had no loyalty, I could give up all of these." As he said that, he glanced at Princess Heyang and said lightly: "And this point, you and your future husband are both a big problem."
"It is normal for you to have this worry." Heyang nodded and smiled, "But I want to tell you that from beginning to end, I, Heyang and him, Zhao Chengsi, are both the Empress Dowager, and have never changed their families or betrayed her."
"I want evidence." Qin Lei smiled and said, "In fact, the requirements for ordinary people are not that high, but you two are too sensitive to the position, so I have to be careful."
Princess Heyang didn't expect that she would put her hot face on her cold butt. She looked helplessly at the rain curtain outside the door, and suddenly saw a team of black guards walking in with her own guard.
"Old Qiu?" Seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, Qin Lei couldn't help but stand up and said, "Are you still alive?" After saying that, he smiled embarrassedly, "Don't mind, I'm just a little surprised." Then he asked Shi Gan to support Eunuch Qiu to the table.
Eunuch Qiu looked very depressed and drank three cups of hot tea before he recovered. He trembled from his arms and took out three envelopes and a key and said, "Before the accident, the empress asked me to hide in the secret room with these four things. After the hourglass was gone, she came out and handed the three letters to the person who should give them and the key to the fifth master."
Qin Lei looked at the three envelopes with his names, Heyang and Qin Ting, and then picked up his seal and tore it open and read it on the spot.
The old lady's special font once again caught my eye:
'Good Sun Yutian, when I saw this letter, my grandma probably died. Are you sad? If you are sad, my grandma will advise you not to be sad; if you say 'not sad', then my grandma will scold you as a little bastard to death and love you for twenty years!'
‘Yes, twenty years ago, I have been paying close attention to you since you were born. In order to get everything you deserve, grandma is really useless to eat. It can be said that in this life, grandma, I have never put in so much effort to do one thing except for revenge.’
'I say this not to show my merits, but to tell you that revenge is the top priority in my grandma's life, and it is more important than holding you onto the dragon throne. Okay, don't be sad. Even if you don't support me now, you can still sit on the dragon throne, so I can take revenge with peace of mind!'
'Hate involves elders, grandma won't tell you clearly. Anyway, as long as you enjoy the results you bring, you will be. If you still suffer heavy casualties, don't look down, just pack up and go to the palace to be the emperor, and enjoy a few years of happiness."
'Of course, grandma, I believe you won't be so stupid, because how could the heir I chose be stupid? You must have taken down the palace without bloodshed and captured Li Hun? Okay, kill him! And his whole family!'
‘Then don’t rush to be that throne. Now is not the time. You must ask the reason. Okay, let me tell you, because I gave your second brother a list of purges, and you will probably kill half of Daqin. Let him do the offending things. Anyway, it’s yours, so don’t rush.’
‘Then the key is the warehouse key of the late emperor’s treasury. Heyang knows where Heyang is a good boy, so you should use her.’
