After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 389 Another Way to Enter a Dream

He had never been to school and no one had ever taught him anything, so he didn't understand what genocide meant.

One day, a man who claimed to be his father appeared in front of him, smiled gently, took his hand, and said he wanted to compensate him.

"His father loved and pampered him to the utmost, taught him poetry and books, and taught him the principles of life. At one point, his attention to him exceeded that of his brother who was still in prison. He felt his father's love, so he respected his father even more. He studied hard and finally reached the moment of completion. He accepted everyone's blessings with joy, but he didn't know that under the smooth road paved with flowers was a bottomless abyss carefully prepared for him by everyone."

He Qi lay on the ground, the coldness slowly seeping into his body, making his bones ache.

"He unknowingly became his brother's scapegoat. When he was put on the rack, he still hoped that his father would come to save him. During the days of waiting, he could not figure out why those inexplicable letters and documents had his name and fingerprints? He stayed at home well, so why was he accused of those false charges? Later, the court investigated and cleared his name. He returned home happily, but what he received was endless humiliation and abuse from his father."

Whips, sticks, stones... He had tried everything that could hit someone, over and over again, without stopping.

He Qi gradually understood the truth after being beaten for a long time, but he was almost numb.

Perhaps he had already guessed his father's intention, but he just didn't want to believe it.

"Finally, my brother was convicted and the whole family was forced to move far away. His body had been damaged before and he couldn't stand the hardship of the long journey. He fell seriously ill halfway through the journey and his father ruthlessly abandoned him in the wilderness. Someone rescued him while he was still alive and taught him martial arts. He lost all desire to live and let others manipulate him. He became a cold-blooded killing machine. One day, he followed his master's order to rescue a girl from the bandits. The girl was of noble status. Since then, he has been valued by the noble and brought along to become his master's spy."

What happens next is another past event that He Qi doesn't want to mention.

In He Qi, she unlocked another use of the dream-entering function: empathy.

What happened just now was brought back to He Qi's memory, and the memory images also appeared in her mind simultaneously, but this was also limited by her own wishes.

She also saw the rest of the story and learned about He Qi's secret feelings for Miss Xie that he had never spoken out loud.

To him, Miss Xie was a ray of hope in the darkness and the salvation of his gloomy life. He buried her deep in his heart bit by bit and never told anyone else.

I sympathize with He Qi. The overwhelming depression and guilt were like a huge wave, rushing towards her.

She bit the tip of her tongue to suppress it and not show anything unusual.

It was because of this that He Qi was threatened by Chen Xingwei and chose to betray Princess He Yong and cover up for him.

He couldn't let Chen Xingwei ruin Miss Xie's reputation, even if he had to become an accomplice and do all kinds of evil.

"Do you need me to continue?" Yuan Qing said in a slow and steady voice.

"...No need." He Qi looked at the person in the darkness, "Why do you know so much about my affairs?"

"I have my own way, and it's none of your business."

He Qi was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Who are you?"

"I told you, you don't have to know."

She originally thought that He Qi was just a spy for Princess Yong, but after empathizing with him, she also saw a lot of warmth under this man's cold face.

She stopped exposing his wounds.

When it comes to eliminating Chen Xingwei, they have the same concerns and goals.

"He Qi, in your mind, what kind of person is Chen Xingwei?"

He Qi finally stopped struggling and slowly uttered a few words: "Not a good person."

"Since you know he's not a good person, why do you still help him?" Yuan Qing said in a gentle tone, "He has something fatal in his hand. This time you helped him escape, have you ever thought that it would cause an unmanageable situation?"

"As long as..." He Qi got up from the ground, his voice full of pleading, "As long as you stop forcing him, he will..."

He will...keep it a secret...

Yuan Qing sneered, but didn't know whether to laugh at his naivety and stupidity, or at his self-deception.

"You are so stupid to talk about morality with a scoundrel. Are you stupid?!"

She let out a long breath, "Tell me everything you know about Chen Xingwei, no matter how big or small. I must get rid of him before he reveals the secret. You are worried about his power and position, but I am not afraid. When it comes to that person, you should know the importance of it and do it yourself!"

Then he ordered the guards, "If you have any information about him, report it to me immediately."

"Yes."

When we returned to the palace, it was already dark.

A secret letter from Princess He Yong was also delivered soon after.

Yuan Qing opened the letter and read it word by word. What was written on it was exactly what she wanted to know.

The incident in Cenzhou seemed to have calmed down, and the officials sent by the court did not stir up any trouble, as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Qing changed back to his official status, received an imperial decree from the emperor himself, and went to Cenzhou to carry out the follow-up finishing work, and by the way brought the officials who had been sent back to Beijing.

Shen Chi led the troops to escort them personally, and the team was extremely ostentatious.

Bai Xian De had naturally received the news long ago, and had made arrangements for Cenzhou, waiting respectfully for the envoy from the capital to arrive.

"Master Gong, I have heard of you for a long time!"

Yuan Qing dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Master Bai actually came to greet me personally. I am flattered!"

Bai Xian De laughed loudly and said, "No need to say more polite words. You all have come from afar and must be very tired. Please come into the mansion and let me show my hospitality. Please don't refuse!"

Yuan Qing also smiled, "I am indeed a little tired. Since Patriarch Bai has invited me so kindly, then I will not be polite!"

"please!"

Under the watchful eyes of the people of Cenzhou, Yuan Qing and his entourage moved into Bai Mansion in a swaggering manner.

Those soldiers were asked to go to other places, leaving only one armored follower who followed closely, full of murderous aura.

Bai Xiande hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is this..."

Yuan Qing introduced with a smile: "This is General Shen. This trip is only to escort me to Cenzhou, nothing else."

Bai Xian De immediately showed a surprised expression, "So this is General Shen from North City. I have heard of your great name for a long time, it's like thunder in my ears!"

Yuan Qing saw Shen Chi's mouth twitching slightly and almost couldn't suppress his smile.

Bai Xian De's flattery skills are too exaggerated. It's understandable that he has heard of his name for a long time, but it's a bit too much to say that he is well-known.

If you really want to say that they are as loud as thunder in one's ears, then they are all bad voices.

I guess these two words are often said together, and the words come out of your mouth before your brain can react.
