After losing my memory, I became a soft double for the general

Chapter 41 Reunion

In Ningguo Duke's Mansion, King Murong Yan of Qi laughed when he heard the news that Yun Yiyi and Yun Feng were dead, "That Yun Yiyi is really stupid, to take people to Jiang Ling's outer house to make trouble. I heard that Jiang Ling In that outer room, he was thrown into the lotus pond, his life was dying, he almost froze to death, this angered our mighty general, Yun Guifei failed to win over Jiang Ling, but offended him completely."

Hou Yu smiled and said: "Yes, Concubine Yun's plan is probably going to fail. Her move is really not worth the loss! I heard that Jiang Ling loves this outer room, and Concubine Yun's mother and son offended Jiang Ling. What are you going to use to compete with His Highness!"

Murong Yan hooked the corners of his lips, took a sip of tea leisurely, and put down the teacup, "I heard that Jiang Ling is still investigating what happened back then, but I didn't expect Qin Shuzhou to keep a hand when he was about to die. You can find out what happened to him. Where did the food and grass go?"

Ning Guogong bowed and said: "My minister is incompetent, please forgive me! Your Highness, please rest assured, now that the Qin family is dead, no one will know the truth of what happened back then."

Murong Yan frowned, "Jiang Ling must not be allowed to find out the whereabouts of the grain and grass."

Just heard a cough, Hou Fangqing heard the conversation between his father and King Qi outside the house, his face was pale, his hands clenched into fists, he couldn't believe it was true.

It turned out that the fire in the Qin family was indeed related to his father and the king of Qi. If so, why did his father take him to the Qin mansion to propose a marriage? Could it be that his marriage with Qin Zhen was a conspiracy from the beginning?
"Who's outside?"

Hou Fangqing came in and bowed down to Murong Yan.

Murong Yan put down the teacup, glanced at Hou Yu, and said: "It seems that the Duke and the Young Master still have something to say, so I won't bother you here."

Hou Yu understood King Qi's meaning, bowed and said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will send you off respectfully!"

After King Qi left, Hou Yu frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

"Is Uncle Qin's death related to his father? His Royal Highness King Qi?"

Jiang Ling was right. The fire in the Qin family was inseparably related to his father. It must be that King Qi wanted the Qin family to die, but his father carried out King Qi's order and set fire to the Qin family.

Unexpectedly, it was his father who killed Qin Taishi's family. He thought that if he told his father that Qin Zhen was still alive, his father would agree to Qin Zhen's death when he knew that Qin Zhen was still alive and remembered the old relationship between the two families. marriage.

Hou Yu slapped the table with his palm and said angrily, "Bold, are you questioning your father?"

"Father and Uncle Qin are close friends, and I have made a marriage contract with Zhen'er. The relationship between our two families is so close, how can father do it!"

"What do you know! If they don't die, your father will die. It's only because Jiang Ling found out the truth about the case back then. Grand Master Qin has already been exposed. He must die!"

Hou Fangqing only felt that someone had poured cold water on his head, and his whole body felt chills. He only discovered today that he had never really understood the father he had always admired and admired.

His methods are vicious and he treats human life like nothing.

"Master Qin's father and son are already capital crimes, so why should father kill them all! The rest of the Qin family are so innocent, how can father be so cruel and selfish, that is the lives of more than [-] people, father is not afraid that the Qin family will fall into a dream at night, let them Doesn't father have peace?!"

"You are presumptuous!" Hou Yu hurriedly stopped.

"Then Qin Shuzhou and his son are cunning, if they are willing to bear the charges obediently, His Royal Highness Qi Wang will naturally spare the lives of the Qin family, but Qin Shuzhou secretly transferred the food and grass, holding His Highness Qi's handle in his hand, how could His Royal Highness Qi?" Let them go."

If they hand over the location of the stored food and the letters they exchanged in secret, the Qin family father and son will die obediently, and the Qin family will not have to die either.

It's just that the Qin family is an exile and a family member of a criminal minister, so the marriage contract between the two families is naturally insignificant.

Hou Fangqing looked sad and indignant, and looked at Hou Yu as if he was looking at a stranger. He sneered and said, "Even so, my father knew that I loved Qin Zhen and that I had a marriage contract with her, but my father actually killed her with his own hands! King Qi As the prince, he is also the candidate for the heir apparent, he should not disregard human life and treat life like nothing!"

Hou Yu glanced at Hou Fangqing deeply, frowned deeply and said, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things as a father. Qin Zhen is dead, and the Holy Majesty's edict of marriage has been issued. Don't be stubborn anymore. You should have forgotten her long ago and married Shen Zhen." Yinger is his wife."

"I won't marry her, and I won't marry her even when I die! Qin Zhen is my wife, and I will never marry anyone else, unless I die!"

With a sound of "slap", Hou Yu slapped Hou Fangqing's face with a slap. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still firm and he would never back down.

"If my father beat me to death, I will never marry her."

Hou Yu sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if you die, but the entire Hou family will be buried with you."

"If I die, I will never implicate my father, nor will I implicate the entire Hou family!"

Hou Fangqing's face was flushed due to emotional agitation, and she was flushed and panting from coughing.

"Do you think that His Highness King Qi will let me go if you die? Let the whole Hou family go? If His Highness King Qi ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he can preserve the glory of my Hou family for many years. Home is the crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the entire family.”

Hou Yu told Hou Fangqing what happened that year. After Hou Fangqing learned the truth, he fell down on the carved nanmu chair and was speechless for a long time.

He left the Duke's Mansion in a daze, and then went to Changwu Courtyard. He would rather die than marry Shen Yinger, Qin Zhen was the only one in his heart.

There is no fear of death. When he heard the news of Qin Zhen's death, he had long wanted to follow her, but he couldn't just watch his father die, and he couldn't let the Hou family be ransacked and wiped out.

Knowing that Yun Yiyi took people to Changwu Courtyard and Qin Zhen's life was in danger, Hou Fangqing didn't care about anything, he rushed into Changwu Courtyard, no matter what, he wanted to see Qin Zhen today.

Qin Zhen is his only thought in this world.

The guards of Changwu courtyard prevented Hou Fangqing from entering the inner courtyard. Su Mei heard the movement and asked, "Who is outside?"

Butler Wang came forward to reply, "It's the young master of Ningguo's family. He insisted on breaking in, but the general ordered that the girl is ill these few days and cannot see outsiders."

Su Mei frowned when she heard that. That day Shen Yinger said that she loved Hou Fangqing and had a marriage contract with him. When she was ill, she also heard Wang Steward said that Hou Fangqing would come every day. It seems that she did not tell him. Clearly, he will not give up.

If he gave up earlier, he could avoid many troubles in the future.

Su Mei said, "Let him in!"

Butler Wang hesitated and said, "Girl, if you let the general know, you won't be happy."

Su Mei smiled and said: "It's okay, I just have a few words with him, he won't come again in the future, if Steward Wang is worried, you can just listen."

"Don't dare to disturb the girl, please do as you please, just don't miss the time to take the medicine."

Su Mei nodded and said, "Thank you Steward Wang."

The garden was full of flowers, red plums bloomed layer upon layer on the branches, and the plum blossoms burst out. Hou Fangqing stepped steadily in the soft snow, taking every step carefully and cautiously.

He had not seen Qin Zhen for more than three months, and the days seemed so long that several years had passed.

Hou Fangqing painted countless portraits of Qin Zhen, and dreamed of that beautiful hibiscus face countless times.

Now that they are finally reunited, he still feels that he is in a dream. The alluring face behind the layers of red plums is so familiar yet so strange.

With just one glance, he knew that Qin Zhen didn't know him anymore.

He raised his hand slowly, as if he had touched the face on the cold portrait countless times, and he called softly: "Zhen'er."

Until Su Mei frowned slightly, coughed clearly, and reminded: "Young master has admitted the wrong person, I am Su Mei."
