Chapter 173 Blood Book
The Yuan family was spared from death, but their official titles were stripped away and they were driven back to their ancestral land.
However, the property of Duke Dingguo's mansion was also confiscated.
In other words, except that they can no longer be officials, nothing else has changed. The wealth in their mansion is enough for them to live a peaceful life.
Many people in the court were naturally dissatisfied with the emperor's light handling of the case, but the emperor had made up his mind and no one could change it, so the matter was left unresolved.
The emperor was very cold to Qin Yunxian at the beginning and deliberately ignored him. He allowed him to be ostracized and bullied in the prince's mansion without doing anything. As time went on, those people knew that the emperor really no longer valued this son, so no one deliberately made trouble for him anymore. Qin Yunxian lived safely until he was thirteen years old.
Rong Heqing was curious when he heard this, "What was written in the blood letter?"
"It's nothing, actually. My mother wrote 'Song of the White-haired Girl' with her blood." (1)
"Song of the White-haired Girl?" Rong Heqing recalled it, and 999 directly transmitted the original text into her mind.
After reading Rong Heqing, I immediately remembered that this poem has some very famous lines: "I heard that you have two minds, so I came to break up with you" and "I wish to find a like-minded person, and we will be together until we are old."
"So that's how it is." Rong Heqing understood.
This poem "Song of the White-haired Concubine" is a perfect portrayal of the relationship between the imperial concubine and the emperor. Her determination was about separation of life and death. She did not directly protest for herself. After all, the evidence was conclusive and she could not refute it.
All emotions, love or hate, are in this poem.
She told the emperor that she had loved him and she had no regrets, but he had changed his mind and became suspicious, so they would break up and be even from now on.
The emperor might feel angry at first, but looking at the blood letter and the deceased beauty, all he could recall was the sweetness and love of the past, so he felt compassion and let Qin Yunxian and the Yuan family go.
If the imperial concubine lived a few more years, this feeling would have worn away and there wouldn't have been such an effect.
Rong Heqing sighed again, "The Imperial Concubine was born at the wrong time. If she had been born in a free and open era, she would have been able to achieve great things with such a resolute character."
Qin Yunxian didn't expect her to think of this. He was surprised for a moment, then slowly smiled, "If mother were still alive, she would definitely like you very much."
Rong Heqing smiled: "If she knows that you married me, she will like me too."
"why?"
"From what you said, I know that mother is a reasonable person who values friendship and loyalty." Rong Heqing smiled, "Because she loves you, she will love me too."
Qin Yunxian felt a little warm in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her face.
"Well, she must like you very much."

When Qin Yunxian was thirteen years old, there was a border turmoil. There was a lack of young generals in the court, and the old generals suffered relapses of old injuries and could not get up. The emperor was extremely worried, so Qin Yunxian took the initiative to volunteer.
At that time, all the officials felt that he was too young to handle the important task, so Qin Yunxian signed a military order, vowing that he would never return to Yundu in his lifetime if he could not repel the enemy.
After not seeing her for a long time, Qin Yunxian has grown up. The heroism and determination between her eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as those of the imperial concubine back then.
The emperor was in a trance and agreed to it while he was distracted.
He took out his newly acquired sword and gave it to him, and personally escorted him out of the city.
In fact, the emperor didn't have much confidence in him at that time, and when he sent him away, he was prepared that he might not come back.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yunxian, who was only thirteen years old, grew up rapidly on the battlefield. He performed very bravely on the battlefield for the first time, beheaded several enemies, and won the general's praise.
At the age of fourteen, Qin Yunxian could stand on his own on the battlefield.
At the age of fifteen, Qin Yunxian had made numerous military achievements and his prestige in the army was second only to that of the general.
At the age of sixteen, his reputation spread throughout the border and the enemy dared not invade.
It was also at this time that he was recalled to Yundu by the emperor and was crowned king, and the emperor took him back to stay.
Qin Yunxian also knew that the emperor was wary of him, so he simply handed over his military power and became an idle prince in Yundu.
By chance, during one of his trips, the emperor encountered an assassin. Qin Yunxian came to his rescue but was injured in the leg by the assassin and became disabled from then on.
……
"You were just pretending to be lame at that time?"
Rong Heqing glanced at Qin Yunxian's legs.
Qin Yunxian nodded: "I didn't arrange the assassin, I just played along with the enemy. Even though I handed over the military power, my father still didn't trust me and was wary of me. At that time, I was already familiar with Mei Gu, and when I returned home and asked him to help me heal my injury, I asked him to use some tricks to make it look like my leg would never recover."
"The doctor who examined me at the time was Imperial Physician Lin. My mother had done him a favor, so he helped me to fake the diagnosis. Even the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital took turns to come and see nothing. From then on, I had to use a wheelchair to go out, and only then did my father let down his guard."
Rong Heqing felt quite unhappy.
How many people can understand the pain of a good person being forced to be a cripple for so many years?
Qin Yunxian understood her look.
He smiled with relief, "It's all over, it's no big deal."
"So you secretly set up Wansheng Building to work for you?"
"Well, Wansheng Tower is indeed mine. I am the owner of the tower. As for Pojun..." Qin Yun paused, his expression a little subtle, "There is indeed such a person. This is the first time we met, and it is not convenient for me to reveal my identity directly, so I used the name of Pojun."
"Every time after that, it was me."
"By the way, when did you find out?"
Qin Yunxian looked at Rong Heqing curiously.
Rong Heqing chuckled and asked back, "Are you trying to hide it from me? If you pay a little attention, I can always guess it."
"But I'm still curious, how can you be sure that I am Pojun and Pojun is Prince Duan's?"
Rong Heqing hesitated to speak and hooked his finger at him.
Qin Yunxian leaned over and whispered, "Hmm?"
“Your taste.”
Qin Yunxian was stunned. "Taste?"
"Well, actually, I was a little suspicious of Po Jun from the beginning. After all, it was too strange for the leader of a killer organization to be so nice to me. He came when I was summoned and dismissed when I was dismissed. He had no temper at all. Later, when I was injured and you came to see me, and you hid in my bed that time, you came out of the bed, and when you approached me, I smelled your scent."
"It tastes exactly the same as Qin Yunxian's."
Qin Yunxian really didn't expect this.
He stared at Rong Heqing in a daze, and after a moment his ears turned red unconsciously.
"Now I really have no secrets at all." He coughed lightly, "Can the princess forgive me for hiding it before?"
Looking at the blush gradually spreading to his face, Rong Heqing felt both amused and soft-hearted.
She stood up and walked to Qin Yunxian, pinched his chin and looked down at him.
"I can forgive you, but you have to compensate me something."
Qin Yunxian's Adam's apple rolled, and he asked in a low voice: "What is it?"
Rong Heqing leaned forward and said word by word: "One. Kiss."
The three light words exploded in Qin Yun's heart like thunder, and his breathing stopped for a moment.
