The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 459: Both Lover and Enemy 1
Qi Hengyuan still attended court as usual every day, but anyone with eyes could see that he was different.

That’s not right. It’s different from when Yan Ning was here.

Before Yan Ning entered the palace, Qi Hengyuan also had a cold and unsmiling look on his face, keeping strangers away. Now it is even worse than before.

Not only was there no smile on his face, but he even lost his expression.

In the past, he could still smile when facing the Empress Dowager or Yang Qianyue, but now he can't smile when he sees anyone.

Even Qi Yunhan and Qi Yunjing.

Qi Yunhan and Qi Yunjing both saw the letter left by Yan Ning. They were both literate and could recognize every word in the letter.

Yan Ning told them that there was something that needed to be dealt with between her and their father, and that no one else could help with this matter, so she asked them not to interfere.

Yan Ning told them to study hard and do their own things seriously. She loved them and would always love them no matter where she was.

When Qi Yunhan and Qi Yunjing were doing their homework together, they dismissed all the palace servants. Qi Yunjing whispered, "Brother, what caused the Queen Mother and the Emperor to fall out? The Emperor loves the Queen Mother so much, this shouldn't have happened."

Qi Yunjing frowned her pretty little brows, a little confused.

Qi Yunhan glanced at his sister and patted her head: "Father and mother are both adults. They can handle their own affairs. Mother asked us not to care about it, so we just don't care."

"I don't care. I'm just curious."

"..."

Qi Yunhan didn't know what to say. He was more than six years old, and his knowledge and understanding of human nature were more profound than Qi Yunjing's.

Even though he was only six years old, because of his magical abilities and his extreme intelligence, he probably guessed what was going on.

He didn't know before that his ability to foresee things ahead was a supernatural power. He thought it was a gift, and in fact it was a gift given to him by his mother.

But at that time, he didn't think too much about it and just thought it was a talent.

And now he knew that it was not just a talent, it was also a kind of supernatural power.

Qi Yunjing also has it, but she is still young and has not yet realized her abilities.

The previous rumor was very likely to be true. His mother was not only Yan Ning, but also the queen Mu Huajia who had destroyed the Jiang Kingdom.

In other words, the Queen Mother is both the Emperor's lover and his enemy.

The two people broke up probably because of this incident.

As the legitimate prince, Qi Yunhan naturally knew a lot about the affairs of the Qi royal family. Before the Jiang Kingdom was destroyed, there were frequent wars between Qi and Jiang, and the two countries were in conflict with each other and could not get along.

Qi State has lost too much at the hands of Jiang State.

The Emperor’s grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and so many soldiers and generals from the State of Qi.

These are blood feuds.

And in all these blood feuds, there is the shadow of Konohanayome, that is, the shadow of the queen mother.

Qi Yunhan and Qi Yunjing cannot interfere in this matter.

Qi Yunhan said: "If you are curious, you can ask the Queen Mother when she comes back one day."

Qi Yunjing whispered, "Will the Queen Mother come back?"

"of course!"

He believed in his father and he also believed in his mother. Although his mother had passed away, his father did not depose her from her position as empress. That was to say, his father still cared about his mother. It just depended on when they could resolve their past grudges.

When Qi Yunjing saw how confident Qi Yunhan was, his uneasy heart finally calmed down.

She smiled and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother will definitely come back. When she comes back, I will ask her what happened."

Then he muttered quietly, "Father has become so scary lately that I don't even dare to talk to him."

Qi Yunhan touched Qi Yunjing's head again: "Father is just unhappy because of the departure of Queen Mother. You can spend more time with Father when you are free, but don't mention Queen Mother, so as not to make Father sad and angry."

Qi Yunjing was also smart and knew what to do and what not to do. She nodded: "I understand." Qi Yunhan still attended classes, practiced martial arts, and learned how to govern the country from Qi Hengyuan as usual.

Apart from not smiling, talking less and becoming silent, there was no other change in Qi Hengyuan. He still went to court as usual, discussed matters as usual, and taught Qi Yunhan as usual.

Qi Yunhan never mentioned the word "Queen Mother". After Yan Ning left, it was as if his mother had disappeared in front of Qi Hengyuan.

There was a hint of anger on Qi Hengyuan's cold face. He could be angry with Yan Ning, but not with Qi Yunhan.

After his mother left, he didn't ask a single question, seeming so cold and heartless.

Qi Hengyuan retracted his moves and said, "Rest for a while."

Qi Yunhan let out an "oh" and retracted his move. Wang Xi, who was serving him, brought a towel and wiped the sweat off his face.

Eunuch Wang also brought a towel and wiped Qi Hengyuan's sweat.

After wiping the sweat off my face, I was served hot tea.

After Qi Hengyuan finished his tea, he took Qi Yunhan to play chess.

Qi Yunhan raised his eyebrows, feeling that his father was a little strange today.

I never used to be distracted when practicing.

I felt it was strange, but didn't ask and just followed him inside.

Eunuch Wang immediately set up the chessboard.

Qi Hengyuan waved his hand, and Eunuch Wang took Wang Xi out, while the palace maids and eunuchs stood guard outside the door.

Qi Hengyuan played chess slowly with Qi Yunhan. After a while, Qi Hengyuan said, "Your mother left without saying goodbye. Don't you have anything to say?"

Qi Yunhan had just given birth to a son. When he heard his father's words, he raised his little face in surprise.

He asked why his father was a little strange today and it turned out that he had something to ask him.

What’s even more strange is that my father actually took the initiative to mention my mother.

Qi Yunhan looked at Qi Hengyuan, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not that I don't ask, it's that my mother left a letter for me before she left."

Qi Hengyuan's hand holding the chess piece suddenly paused. He raised his head and looked at Qi Yunhan: "Letter?"

"Yes, the Queen Mother wrote a special letter, so my son didn't ask."

Qi Hengyuan's frozen face finally showed some cracks.

When she left, she left a letter for her son, and she must have also left a letter for her daughter, but she didn't leave a letter for him.

Qi Hengyuan's heart began to ache again. How could she be so cruel and just leave without saying a word or even saying goodbye?

Is the palace a place where she can come and go as she pleases?

After she left, he had to clean up the mess.

Now that she leaves, will she come back again?

Where would he go to find her?
She is a god, not a mortal. If she wants to leave, can he still find her?

Qi Hengyuan suddenly lost the mood to play chess. He threw the white piece in his hand back into the chess pool and shamelessly asked Qi Yunhan for the letter.

Qi Yunhan asked Wang Xi to get the letter and hand it to Qi Hengyuan.

Qi Hengyuan took the letter, his fingers trembling slightly, slowly opened the envelope and took out the letter.

He unfolded the letter and read it word by word with his head down.

After reading it, he didn't move for a long time before he folded the letter again, put it back into the envelope, and handed it back to Qi Yunhan.

The letter did not say where she went.
