She was indeed an extremely charming woman. She was also extremely cultured and knowledgeable. However, she had been too self-centered, causing her to overlook too many things.
Yu Ao Tian who is silent at the side seemed to see his own shadow in her, he also 'thought' and 'didn't care', which caused him to lose too many … too many beautiful things that couldn't be exchanged with power and money in life ….
"Xinxin, I'm very sad about Premier Qi's passing. However, you can't control all this. You don't have to blame yourself. "Yu Ao Tian sat beside her expressionlessly.
Qi Xin 'er laughed self-deprecatingly. "Yes, no one can control my father's death. It was Ceng Kairui's scheme and a sacrifice in the political struggle. But … I … I could have fulfilled many of my father's wishes. At least, he wouldn't have to feel so regretful when he left. But I didn't do it. "
When Yu Ao Tian went overseas to visit Japan, Premier Qi's family was placed under house arrest by Ceng Kairui not long after he left. At that time, Premier Qi was still alive.
During that period of time, Qi Xiner chatted with her father almost every day while she was under house arrest. This was a time she had never given her father before.
She had always thought that she and her father couldn't reach the same point of thinking. However, after "talking", she realized that her father's thinking wasn't that different from hers.
Unfortunately, not long after, Premier Qi was assassinated by Ceng Kairui. However, Qi Xin 'er was at the scene. After that, she and her mother were brought to Sky City.
"Xinxin, where's Auntie Qi's mother?"
"My mother passed away in the first month after she was locked up in the dungeon." Qi Xin 'er's mother's health wasn't good to begin with. She couldn't adapt to such a harsh environment.
Yu Ao Tian was silent for a long while. Even though he sympathized with Qi Xin 'er's experience, he had seen through everything. After all, if someone lost in such a political battle, the entire family would be implicated.
"Xinxin, do you know who the City Lord of Sky City is?" Before Yu Ao Tian snuck into Sky City, he had specially "communicated" with Bing Ye about the City Lord's identity. However, Bing Ye didn't know either. From the location where Qi Xiner was captured, it could be seen that the castellan of Sky City was in cahoots with Ceng Kairui.
"I'm not sure either. From the first day I was sent to Sky City, I haven't seen the city lord. "
"Then who sent you and Aunt Qi to Sky City?"
Yu Ao Tian suspiciously asked, Qi Xin Er's face showed anger expression: "He is Dad's adopted godson. It was also him! He joined forces with Ceng Kairui to kill my father! "
"Premier Qi's adopted godson?" Yu Ao Tian had never heard of this before.
"Yes. Actually, I'm not too sure about this either. After all, I had gone abroad since high school and had only returned in the last two years. I had inadvertently heard my father mention that he had adopted a godson before I had gone abroad. At first, I wanted to meet my godbrother, but my father told me that my godbrother had been in England for several years. Therefore, this matter has been put on hold … "
Prime Minister Qi's godson had been abroad all this time?! Yu Ao Tian knitted his brows: "Your godbrother … is his name Lan You?!"
"Yes! That's him! "
At that time, Yu Ao Tian vaguely felt that after Premier Qi was killed, the military commander suddenly came back to the country and even took over the position of Premier together with him, he felt something was not right.
Now after listening to what Qi Xiner said, Premier Qi's adopted godson was more reasonable to inherit the position of Premier. It seemed that Ceng Kairui had the intention to pass the position of Premier to Lan You!
"You haven't even met your godbrother, how did you know that he joined forces with Ceng Kairui to kill Premier Qi?"
"I heard it." Qi Xiner's eyes flashed with affirmation: "Although I haven't met Lan You, but I know his name. When I was kidnapped and brought to Sky City, they thought they had drugged me, but when I woke up, I heard the person who kidnapped me was talking with a military commander named Lan You … "
Speaking to this point, she frowned: "I am very curious, my father always has the security force to protect him, how could he be imprisoned so easily, now think, if it was my father's godson who joined forces with Ceng Kairui, he could easily gain my father's trust!"
That's right …
The country's protection to the politicians has always been very strict, even Yu Ao Tian didn't know how many secret agents were secretly protecting him. So, that time when Premier Qi was killed, he always suspected that there must be someone colluding inside and outside to kill Premier Qi.
It seems, the person who colluded inside and outside must be Lan You …
"Ao Tian …" Qi Xiner sobbed looking at Yu Ao Tian: "First my father was killed, then my mother passed away. I thought, I would die slowly in that dark dungeon, it's you … it's you who saved me from that damn place. Thank you … "
Yu Ao Tian coldly smiled: "It's what I should do. When Premier Qi was in power, he always took good care of me, saving you, it's what I should do. "
"Haha, I thought you came here simply because of me. So it's because of my father's face? "
Listening to Qi Xiner's self-deprecating tone, Yu Ao Tian guessed that her mood must be better, he teased her: "It's also because of you."
"Hah, don't." Qi Xiner helplessly smiled, she turned her face to the window. That pair of beautiful eyes, looking at the reflection of Yu Ao Tian's handsome face on the glass, faintly said … "I can feel, when my father was alive, his biggest wish, is … hoping that I can be together with you. But too bad, he didn't fulfill his wish until his death. Now … "her beautiful face quickly turned to Yu Ao Tian, she slowly held his hand:" Let's get married, Ao Tian … "
Sky City, inside the palace.
Lying on the hard and cold cement floor, Yao Yao looked like a doll whose soul was taken away, looking at the blue sky.
The color of the sky, from bright to dark; from warm to cold.
Not knowing how long time, she seemed to have the strength to get up from the ground.
Wandering in this big palace, the smoke of the war has completely dispersed, leaving only the bullet hole on the wall.
Yao Yao is walking past every place where Yu Ao Tian might appear, her face expression is filled with unspeakable impatience and loneliness …
"Come back?"
Stepping into the bedroom. Lan You's expression seemed to have predicted, she will come back.
Expressionless lowering her head, Yao Yao looked like a soulless puppet, quietly walking past Lan You.
Suddenly …
Lan You grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his embrace: "This time, can you give up?"
Give up?
Perhaps. Yu Ao Tian didn't save her, she was really sad, but she didn't give up the thought of leaving this place. "Lan You, don't forget about our bet. The deadline of three months hasn't arrived. If you lose, you still have to send me away. "
