As the saying goes, everyone kicks a wall when it is down. In addition, Moqi Ke and Zhang Jun had done many unjust things and had long offended a large number of people. Now that they had the chance, they swarmed over like sharks that smelled blood. Very quickly, the voices of the two were drowned out.
Feeling the crowd's agitation, Zhao Gou was frightened. Worried that he would be dragged into this, he immediately summoned the guards in the imperial court to throw the two into prison.
The system of remonstrance, the students of the Imperial College, and the citizens all listed the crimes of the two. Even the matter of Moqi Ke hiring a killer to kill her daughter-in-law was dug up.
There was no suspense about the two's ending. The only surprise was that the two committed suicide in the prison. When Song Qingshu heard the news, he laughed coldly. It was obvious that the person in the palace did not want them to live, to prevent them from saying things that they should not.
After dealing with Moqi Ke and Zhang Jun, Yue Fei's rehabilitation was completed. The imperial court quickly announced to the world, "Yue Fei started his career in the army, and within a few years, he became a general. He was loyal in matters, had the ability to command people, and did not boast. His legacy is still remembered today. Last winter, when he went out to defend E Zhu, his troops were not disturbed, and his movements were disciplined. The credit goes to Yue Fei. Although Yue Fei passed away, the Emperor did not forget him. Today, in accordance with the Emperor's will, he will be restored to his official position, with the title of Wumu and the posthumous title of Prince of E. His funeral will be changed, and he will be hired. "
Because Yue Fei's body had mysteriously disappeared after he was murdered, there was no way to bury him. The imperial court had no choice but to issue a reward. Anyone with clues to Yue Fei's body would be rewarded with 500 strings of silver.
Originally, this was a helpless move. After all, Yue Fei had been murdered for so many years, the hope of finding his body was very small. The imperial court had already prepared to build a cenotaph for him.
Unexpectedly, on the day the imperial edict was issued, a young man came to the imperial court and claimed that he knew where Yue Fei's body was.
Looking at his age, the imperial court thought that he was here to swindle the reward. After asking, the entire imperial court was shocked. It turned out that he was the son of Kui Shun, and Kui Shun just happened to be a prison guard in the Supreme Court where Yue Fei was imprisoned!
Although Kui Shun's status was low and he was uncultured, he was loyal and had always admired Yue Fei. He knew that Yue Fei was framed. Unfortunately, even the Supreme Court Officials Li Ruopu and He Yanyou who spoke up for Yue Fei were immediately dismissed and framed. What could a mere prison guard like him do? Especially when he thought of his parents, wife, and children, he could only do his best to take care of Yue Fei in prison, so that he would suffer less.
When Yue Fei was murdered, he wrote in prison, "The sun is bright, the sun is bright." Kui Shun's blood rushed to his head when he saw this. Risking his life, he carried the body out of the city that very night and secretly buried it next to the Jiuqu Cong Temple. In order to identify Yue Fei in the future, Kui Shun also tied Yue Fei's jade bracelet to his waist and planted two orange trees in front of the grave.
When Yue Fei's body disappeared, Qin Hui and Wanqi Feng were furious and ordered a thorough investigation. However, many prison guards of the Supreme Court were loyal and although some guessed that it was Kui Shun's doing, no one reported it. Kui Shun buried this secret in his heart until his death. He told his son about it and said, "Marshal Yue is loyal to the country. In the future, there will be a day when he will be cleared of all injustice!"
His son carried on his father's dying wish and kept this secret. It was only when Qin Hui fell from power, Wanqi Feng, Zhang Jun, and the other main culprits were dead and the imperial court issued a public order to rehabilitate Yue Fei did he report this matter.
When Yue Fei's body was moved from the Jiuqu Cong Temple to the Qixia Ridge by the West Lake, Li Qingluo burst into tears. Xiao Long Nu vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted. If Song Qingshu had not quickly held her in his arms, her beautiful and refined face would have been intimately touched by the sand and stones on the ground.
"The Ancient Tomb Sect's Jade Maiden Heart Sutra requires the practitioner to abandon the seven emotions and six desires. It's too inhumane. If one's emotions fluctuate slightly, one's zhenqi will either reverse or vomit blood. She really can't practice it anymore. It just so happens that the Everlasting Youth Art that I extorted from Tang Saier is very suitable for her. I'll teach it to her when she wakes up." Song Qingshu secretly made up his mind.
Originally, he wanted to take Xiao Long Nu home to rest. However, he thought that if she was awake, she might not be willing to leave. Therefore, Song Qingshu held Xiao Long Nu in his arms throughout the entire Yue Fei's burial ceremony.
Finally, when he saw the words "King Song Yue 'e's Tomb" on the stone tablet, Song Qingshu's heart was in turmoil. He secretly said to Yue Fei, "Lord Yue, I will definitely take good care of your daughter and your undying wish of' returning my country '. However, it's not returning my country to the Zhao and Song families, but to the millions of Chinese people."
When they returned home, Xiao Long Nu finally woke up. Hearing that Song Qingshu had "witnessed" the whole process of her father's burial ceremony with his arms around her, her heart warmed. She said softly, "Thank you."
Li Qingluo, who was standing by the side, saw that half of her body was leaning on Song Qingshu's arms, but she did not show any shyness or anger. It seemed that she was used to this kind of hugging. Li Qingluo frowned slightly and could not help but worry. It was not because she was jealous. After all, the relationship between her and Song Qingshu did not involve love. It was completely a physical need between a mature man and a woman. She was worried because she knew that a playboy like Song Qingshu was not a good match for her cousin. Especially with the group of women in the Golden Snake Camp, if her cousin really fell in love with him, she might not be happy in this life.
After comforting Xiao Long Nu with a few words, Song Qingshu suddenly thought of a previous idea. He immediately said, "Don't practice the Jade Girls' Heart Sutra anymore. I will teach you another martial art. Whether in terms of power or subtlety, it is above the Jade Girls' Heart Sutra."
"But this martial art is the result of Ancestor Grandma's hard work. Back then, Master didn't even teach Senior Sister, but passed it on to me. How can I let her down?" Xiao Long Nu actually had another reason that she did not say. Subconsciously, she did not want to give up on this martial art that she practiced with Guo 'er. This martial art carried too many memories of the two of them.
In fact, according to her usual personality, she would say whatever was on her mind. But this time, she didn't know why, but when she saw Song Qingshu's concerned expression, she subconsciously didn't want to mention another man in front of him.
"Is this what Auntie Guo talked about in the past?" Xiao Long Nu's heart was in a trance for a moment.
"But the Jade Girls' Heart Sutra has too many flaws. Once you get emotional, something bad will happen. Over the years, how many times have you been in danger? If it wasn't for me secretly guiding your Qi, I'm afraid you would have gone mad again. What if I wasn't by your side? I don't want you to go mad alone and meet Gongsun Zhi. If he saved you, you would marry him to repay him. "Song Qingshu said impatiently.
Hearing him mention this, Xiao Long Nu's face turned slightly red. She mumbled, "That wasn't to repay him …"
"Okay, let's not argue about this anymore." Song Qingshu's tone was unquestionable. "From today onwards, you will practice the Art of Eternal Youth. Also, I will teach you the Bone Forging section of the Nine Yin Manual. When you cultivate your Qi, you will get twice the results with half the effort."
"Mm ~" Xiao Long Nu nodded slightly and answered.
Song Qingshu's generosity made Li Qingluo a little jealous. It was one thing for Xiao Long Nu to not know how powerful these two martial arts were, but as the White Lotus Cult Mother, she naturally knew how powerful these two martial arts were. One of them caused the Five Greats of the Central Plains to fight against each other, while the other was the Heavenly Mountain Maiden's ultimate technique that killed without a second move. And yet, he just casually gave it to a girl who was not related to him.
"This bastard sure is willing to pay a lot to pick up a girl," Li Qingluo secretly spat.
She really did not want to see her cousin continue to lie in Song Qingshu's embrace. Li Qingluo coughed and took the opportunity to pull her over. She said, "Right now, the imperial court is searching for Youngest Uncle's descendants. I don't know if they can find your brothers."
After the matter of moving the burial was completed, the most important thing was to search for Yue Fei's descendants as mentioned in the imperial edict. Naturally, there was no need to search for Xiao Long Nu. She looked almost exactly the same as her mother back then. Anyone could tell that she was Yue Fei's daughter. However, she was a girl, so the special employment mentioned in the imperial edict did not apply to her.
"My brothers?" Xiao Long Nu blinked her large, limpid eyes. As expected, her attention was instantly diverted.
"Previously, I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn't mention this matter …" Li Qingluo sighed and began to explain, "Your father had five sons and two daughters. The eldest son Yue Yun, the second son Yue Lei, the third son Yue Lin, the fourth son Yue Zhen, the fifth son Yue Ting, and the eldest daughter Yue An's mother were all born by your father's ex-wife. You, the youngest daughter, were born by my Youngest Aunt."
Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. When Yue Fei was killed, he was only in his thirties, but he actually had so many children. The people of this era were really efficient in this aspect. It seemed that it was time for him to consider the issue of having children. Otherwise, with so many women around me without a single child, not only would my confidantes have wild thoughts, but my subordinates would also feel uneasy.
Li Qingluo didn't know that his mind had wandered so far away. She continued to explain, "Yue Yun and his subordinate Zhang Xian were sent to the Supreme Court's prison along with your father. Yue Lei was exiled to Lingnan. Yue An's mother was not investigated because she was married. Yue Lin, Yue Zhen, and Yue Ting were still young at that time. They were raised in their old home in Jiujiang and didn't follow their parents to Lin 'an. That night, they escaped the calamity."
"However, considering that Yue Lei was killed by an assassin in the exiled land, the other three must have met with misfortune. I have been investigating openly and secretly all these years, but I couldn't find any news about them!" Li Qingluo bit her lips, her eyes revealing a deep-seated hatred. "Moqi Chen and Zhang Jun, those two bastards, died too lightly!"
Song Qingshu was about to comfort the two women when suddenly a servant girl ran in and reported, "Young master, there is a lady outside who wants to see you."
Xiao Long Nu's ears moved slightly, but she still remained expressionless.
"Is it Miss Shi?" Song Qingshu asked. Since Shi Miyuan had already initiated the remonstrance, it was about time for Shi Xiangyun to come and find him.
"It's not Miss Shi." The servant girl shook her head. Shi Xiangyun had a great reputation among the young ladies in Lin 'an City. This servant girl had seen her before.
"Then who is it?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but be startled.
Li Qingluo was already in a bad mood. When she heard this, it added fuel to the fire. She spoke rudely, "It must be another one of your womanizing debts."
-----
In history, Yue Lin, Yue Zhen, and Yue Ting were all born by Yue Fei's second wife, Li Wa. This place felt that Li Cang Hai's image as a fairy sister would be damaged if she had too many children, so it was changed.
