Since Li Ling gave up on the matter of practicing martial arts, she has been ready to enter the Eastern Palace.

He was not allowed to practice martial arts and only lived in the small house of Li's mansion. Li Ling and Aunt Qian faced each other every day.

In addition, Aunt Qian was sincere to Li Ling and was hurt for her. Li Ling was grateful and guilty, and had long put all her attention on Aunt Qian.

After living together day and night, Aunt Qian and Xiaochao were not wary of Li Ling. How could Li Ling not notice the abnormality between these two people?!

That night, Li Ling saw Aunt Qian and Xiao Chao secretly go out, so he followed him.

Then, she saw Xiao Chao release something similar to a firecracker.

It is obvious that although this thing looks like a firecracker, it is much more refined and complicated than ordinary firecrackers. If ordinary people can do this, no one would believe it.

In this world, the only things Li Ling can trust are Aunt Qian and Xiao Chao.

After following the alley, seeing the two of them behaved strangely with their own eyes, without telling her at all, Li Ling felt an unexpected calm in her heart.

Li Ling could have thought that he had not appeared, returned to Li's mansion, and then continued to secretly suspicious.

But she stood up.

"Auntie, Xiao Chao, what are you doing?"

This question was something Li Ling was willing to believe these two people once. She hoped that Aunt Qian and Xiao Chao could give her an answer, and that this answer would not affect the relationship between the three of them.

Aunt Qian and Xiao Chao were startled and turned around to see that it was Li Ling. The fright on their faces turned to relax.

Seeing the instantaneous expressions of the two people, Li Ling felt relieved. She smiled and walked forward with a curious look on her face: "Auntie, Xiao Chao, what are you doing?"

"Jingjing, you scared my aunt!" Aunt Qian angrily said, and then sighed softly: "Since Jingjing saw it, then I will tell you. Let's go back to the house first!"

Li Ling nodded.

This time, he sneaked into the back door of Li's mansion like a steal, and entered the mansion like a thief, and turned into a "three-man group".

When she returned to her aunt's room, Xiao Chao went to boil water for the two of them to prevent them from catching a cold.

Aunt Qian and Li Ling hurried on the same bed, covering the same quilt. Li Ling leaned his head on Aunt Qian's shoulder and listened to Aunt Qian's soft voice telling everything.

The candles in the room were reflected, and the whole room was filled with warm yellow.

Xiaochao pushed the door and brought two cups of hot tea to the two of them. Then he sat on the table with a smile, holding his chin with one hand, listening to Aunt Qian telling stories.

The story of Aunt Qian is much more complicated and grand than Li Ling imagined.

The 23rd year of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Aunt Qian is 34 years old this year. When she entered the Li Mansion, she had no identity background.

So, what about Aunt Qian before entering the mansion?

She is not a small family with a dilapidated family in troubled times.

Aunt Qian told Li Ling that twenty-three years ago, she was the descendant of a powerful minister in the previous dynasty.

There is nothing in this book.

When Taizu's army besieged the capital, the last emperor of the previous dynasty committed suicide. In the capital, except for a few people who resisted stubbornly, hundreds of officials committed suicide to their country. The rest were "not moving weapons". The army entered the city peacefully without hurting the people.

If you can avoid war and enter the capital peacefully, the prosperity of the capital will not hurt at all, and all the people will be safe. This is what Taizu of the dynasty is proud of.

Therefore, after Taizu entered the city, he was extremely magnanimous to the old ministers of the previous dynasty. Some remained in office and some were released, and there was not much killing.

No matter how much peace there is, it cannot change the blood in the dynasty.

"The last emperor committed suicide", "Hundreds of officials committed suicide to their country and died in their country." When talking about these two suicides, Aunt Qian's eyes were filled with tears: "The emperor committed suicide to the country, the country, and the people. Officials committed suicide to themselves are loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and they are strong and unyielding."

Li Ling whispered: "So... Auntie, did my grandfather commit suicide?"

Aunt Qian paused. If the rules of the Li family were followed, the father of his wife An was considered Li Jingjing's grandfather. Li Ling could easily call out the word "grandfather" so much, which really made Aunt Qian feel relieved.

Aunt Qian raised her hand and touched Li Ling's cheek: "Yes! Your grandfather committed suicide, too."

"Respectable!" Li Ling said.

Aunt Qian smiled: "Although Taizu is magnanimous, he can't tolerate me. Although I am just a woman, your grandfather is powerful. Even if he dies, there are still many subordinates with great martial arts who are willing to run for him."

"These martial arts subordinates gather together to form a small army," said Qian Aunt Qian: "If I show up and become the master of this small army, not to mention treason, it will definitely not be difficult if I want to occupy the mountain and become the king."

Li Ling’s interface: “So, aunt, you can’t show up, you have to hide your identity, so, aunt, you have hidden your identity and entered the Li Mansion alone.”

"Yes, I only brought Xiao Chao into the Li Mansion. Xiao Chao's father was also a subordinate of your grandfather back then. At that time, he also followed your grandfather to commit suicide." Aunt Qian raised her eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Chao who was sleeping on the table: "No one would have thought that I had never escaped from the capital, but had been hiding in the capital. I hid in the small Li Mansion, thinking that I could live a safe life without causing trouble, and not killing again because of me."

"But this Li Xuanming bullies people too much!" Aunt Qian scolded lazily, with a sleepy look in her eyes: "I can't stand it anymore when they treat you like this."

"Jingjing," said Qian, "My aunt sent out a signal and wanted to attract a few warriors to save us from the Li Mansion. Then, we will leave the capital together and live in seclusion in Jiangnan. Will my aunt ask them to teach you martial arts, okay?"

"Okay! OK! That's great!" Li Ling thought she must enter the East Palace, but she didn't expect that when the turn of the round, Aunt Qian actually hid her hand, giving her a chance: "If you can go to Jiangnan, if you can let the three of us live together and practice martial arts, you can really be happy!"

Aunt Qian showed a comfortable smile on her face: "Yes! Happy and happy."

"Auntie, what's my grandfather's name?" Li Ling asked.

Aunt Qian's eyes were awake for a moment and said, "I don't want you to know too much about the past, so as not to cause trouble. In the past, Jingjing was young and weak, and my aunt didn't want to tell you. Now Jingjing is growing up, and if it were not necessary, Auntie wouldn't want to tell you."

"oh."

...

Royal Palace.

Qianqing Palace.

Today's Supreme Master Sima Zhi has not fallen asleep yet.

Sima Zhi was teasing the canary in the cage.

The canary jumped around in the cage, making pleasant tweets from time to time.

The eunuch walked over quickly and whispered a few words in Sima Zhi's ear.

Before he finished speaking, Sima Zhi's expression had changed.

Sima Zhi's expression became dark: "Have you found out where the signal was released?"

"Not yet, the signal in the air disappeared too quickly! I can only determine the area on the edge of Dongcheng, but not which street or which household it is."

"Well..." Sima Zhi nodded and said, "You must keep an eye on this matter."

"Yes!" The eunuch received the order and was about to give orders, but Sima Zhi stopped him.

"Wait!" Sima Zhi frowned: "Tomorrow is the spring festival. Don't make a big splash, so as not to make a noise, disturb people's hearts and affect the spring festival."

"yes!"
