Dan Shi did not really want to go to Huguo Temple, but Qi Ruoshui asked her to accompany him. After walking around aimlessly in Huguo Temple, Qi Ruoshui's interest disappeared.
"I thought that after so many years, Huguo Temple would be different, but it seems that it is just so-so." Qi Ruoshui said lightly, her eyes full of disappointment.
"What are you looking for?" Dan Shi frowned and asked. She really could not see the real purpose of Qi Ruoshui coming to Huguo Temple.
Qi Ruoshui smiled and said to Dan Shi, "Abbot, unfortunately, he is wandering outside, I don't need to see him."
Dan Shi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "You do not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, what is the use of seeing the abbot? Do you want him to read your fortune for you? Even if he did, would you believe it?"
"If you say it nicely, I will believe it." Qi Ruoshui said with a smile.
The two walked out of Huguo Temple side by side, and when they were about to get on the carriage, Shen Yi appeared in front of them.
"Mister Dan, the Emperor invites you to the palace." Shen Yi bowed and looked up at Dan Shi.
The Emperor invites her to the palace
Dan Shi was shocked and turned to look at Qi Ruoshui.
Qi Ruoshui looked calm and gently nodded to Dan Shi, as if today's scene was what she had expected.
"Yes, I will follow you to the palace." Dan Shi returned Shen Yi's bow. Deep down, she held a grudge against the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. The Ye family had perished because of him, and Ye Yiqing was still alive. The Ye family had nothing to do with her. Back then, when she was forced to leave the capital, she was angry, but she could not help but admire Mo Rongzhan.
Compared to the previous Emperor, this Emperor could bring a different world to Jin Kingdom.
Shen Yi invited Dan Shi to board the carriage. His gaze was deep as he looked at Qi Ruoshui. This girl was too strange. Although he had secretly sent people to keep an eye on her, he felt that she knew that someone was following her.
Qi Ruoshui watched Dan Shi's carriage gradually go away. She felt gloomy after wandering in Huguo Temple for half a day, but her mood lightened. She ordered the carriage to send her back to the city.
The carriage was stopped as soon as it entered the city. Qi Ruoshui almost fell in the carriage. She frowned slightly and was about to scold a few words. Qi Jin's voice came from outside, "Come down."
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly rush out?" The coachman scolded unhappily. Fortunately, he pulled the rope in time, or the old woman would have been killed.
"Qi Ruoshui," Qi Jin shouted loudly, "Come down."
Qi Ruoshui raised the curtain and looked at Qi Jin with a faint smile. Qi Jin's hair was messy and her complexion did not look too good. She must have been looking for her outside for a long time. "It seems that you have something to say to me. Don't tell me you want to quarrel here. Why don't you get in the car first and find a place to talk?"
Although she did not want to spend too much time with Qi Ruoshui, Qi Jin had to admit that what she said was right. What they had said between them was not suitable to be said in public.
She calmly got off the carriage and sat opposite Qi Ruoshui, refusing to look at her.
Qi Ruoshui asked the coachman to go back to the house directly. It was absolutely secluded here, and no one could hear what they were talking about.
She got off the carriage first and turned her head to look at Qi Jin. Seeing her slow movements, she realized that Qi Jin was much older than she remembered. Even her hair had silver strands.
It had been more than ten years, so how could he not age?
Qi Ruoshui turned around and no longer looked at Qi Jin.
In the quiet yard, Qi Jin coldly looked at her daughter who was standing in front of her. "Have you been in Xiliang all these years?"
"Isn't it too late to care about where I have been all these years?" Qi Ruoshui said with a smile. She did not hide the contempt in her eyes.
Qi Jin said coldly, "Did you take Ah Chen away?"
"Huang Fuchen, it has only been one night, and you have already become paranoid!" Qi Ruoshui sneered.
"The people who took Ah Chen had tattoos on their faces. You left with these people back then. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?" Qi Jin asked angrily.
Qi Ruoshui raised her eyebrows and looked at her coldly. "Just based on two portraits, you think that this matter has something to do with me?"
"How do you know that there are two portraits?" Qi Jin stared at her sharply and asked.
"I returned to the capital with Dan Shi. How could I not know?" Qi Ruoshui laughed. "Is that what you want to ask?"
Of course, Qi Jin wanted to ask more than that. She had too many questions, but she did not know where to start.
"What? You still don't dare to ask or mention it?" Qi Ruoshui asked sarcastically. "Why don't I ask for you? You saw the two portraits in the palace and thought of him. Does the tattoo look familiar?"
Qi Jin's face turned pale.
"I guessed it right." Qi Ruoshui covered her mouth and smiled.
"What do you want?" Qi Jin asked in a low voice. "You won't return to the capital for no reason. After so many years, what kind of person have you become?"
Qi Ruoshui's eyes seemed to gradually freeze. "Who are you to ask me why I came back? What kind of person have I become?"
"What is your relationship with the Witch King?" Qi Jin ignored her question. She only wanted to know who the Witch King was and why he took Huang Fuchen away.
Qi Ruoshui sneered. "Do you want to ask why Huang Fulan went to Xiliang? He knew that you were pregnant, but he refused to go with you. Instead, he wanted to go to Xiliang?"
Qi Jin was silent, and her eyes were sad and sorrowful.
Not speaking was a tacit agreement.
Qi Ruoshui's smile became even colder. "You couldn't ask that question back then. How can you ask it now?"
"I don't want to talk about the past. I only want to ask you, why did you take Chen away? What is your relationship with the Witch King?"
The war between the Jin Kingdom and Xiliang had already started. Everyone knew that Xiliang was now the Witch King's world. The Jin Kingdom and Xiliang were actually at war with the Witch King.
"It's because of your cowardly attitude that I've been ruined for my whole life." Qi Ruoshui looked at Qi Jin angrily. "Do you think that you can pretend that nothing happened just because you don't say anything? It's obviously your fault, but you want others to bear the responsibility. What's the point of a person like you living? It's been so many years, why don't you die?"
Qi Jin looked at Qi Ruoshui with a pale face as if she was struck by lightning.
"In your heart, I'm so evil that I must have something to do with Huang Fuchen being taken away. What do you think I wanted to do with him?"
"Why did I give birth to Xi 'er? It's all because of you. If you had told me that Huang Fulan was my father earlier, would I have fallen in love with him?"
"Shut up!" Qi Jin shouted weakly.
Qi Ruoshui looked at her with hatred. "Why? You still don't dare to face reality? You face Xi 'er every day, but you can still live in this world as if nothing happened. You're really amazing."
"Don't you want to know who took Huang Fuchen away?" Qi Ruoshui asked with a smile. "I'll answer you."
