Qi Yang's silence lasted all the way, until he returned to the princess mansion, until he began to sleep on the couch, and did not speak again.

Lu Qipei was equally silent. She didn't excuse herself, nor disturbed Qi Yang's mood, she just kept guarding her. Guarding her back home, guarding her to fall asleep, while lying on the same couch with her, extremely exhausted but unable to sleep anyway.

On the contrary, even though Qi Yang was full of thoughts, he fell asleep quickly unexpectedly.

When Lu Qipei heard the light breathing from the pillow, his uneasy heart finally calmed down. She waited for a while listening to the breathing, and finally opened the brocade carefully before the sleepiness hit and got out of bed.

Qi Yang was not awakened.

Lu Qipei re-dressed and put on a dark cloak, and then quietly left the door.

Just like Qi Yang asked, most of the Chaoyang Tower incident this time has nothing to do with Xie Yuan. Although he is dead, it does not mean that the forces under his management have also collapsed, especially in the Liang State and Xie Yuan’s forces. Not suppressed at all. And Lu Qipei knew that Qi Bo's desire for revenge had never changed, and the power of Lu Family and Xie Yuan had not been separated very clearly.

If Qi Bo got in touch with Xie Yuan's remaining forces and planned this assassination... Under the premise of completely avoiding the Lu family forces, it would not be impossible for Qi Bo to hide from Lu Qipei.

Lu Qipei's heart is heavy, and the reason why he lacks confidence in front of Qi Yang is not because Xie Yuan is her father. It was more because of Qi Bo, because Qi Bo showed an abnormality when they met at the beginning of the year, but she did not attract enough attention.

If, if she had taken care of her at that time, would the things of yesterday not happen under strict investigation?

This idea has been lingering in Lu Qipei's mind since it arose. It made her feel guilty, made her uneasy, made her unable to wait for a moment, and went to Lufu to ask Qi Bo that night!

Lu Qipei thought so, did the same, and went out to Lu Mansion again in the middle of the night.

On the way, she had already thought about how to ask questions, but when the carriage stopped at Lu's house, she was startled when she got out of the car-just after Shangyuan, it was just for the celebration, the other houses were all red. lantern. Only Lu Mansion, with two white lanterns hanging in front of the door, looked extremely lonely and deserted in this festive color.

A white lamp is hung outside the mansion gate, and under normal circumstances there is a funeral in the mansion. However, there are only white lanterns outside the Lu Mansion but no white flags, and the owner of the Lu Mansion is only Lu Qipei. Now that Lu Qipei is fine, what Lu Mansion's white lanterns represent seems subtle.

Lu Qipei looked at the white lantern in a daze, his face changed slightly when he thought of something.

She stepped forward and clicked the door. The doorman quickly opened the door, but Lu Qipei noticed the white filial cloth wrapped around his waist. The concierge was not surprised to see her returning late at night, so he only asked to open the door and said, "The son is back?"

Lu Qipei frowned and asked: "What's the matter with the lantern at the door and the filial pie on your waist?"

The concierge was a little surprised when she asked her this way, and even replied: "It's Qi Bo. Qi Bo is very old, and he went this morning. At night after noon, people were sent to Princess Mansion to inform, but the son was not in the house. ...Is the son not getting the report?"

When Lu Qipei heard the words, his eyes moved slightly, and it became clear-when she and Qi Yang returned to the house tonight, their faces were too ugly, so that the servants of the princess mansion would not dare to tell? After all, Qi Bo, after all, was just a housekeeper in the Lu Mansion. Lu Qipei and Lu Mansion were not very close, and it seemed to outsiders that it was impossible for him to touch the princess and the husband.

But after thinking about this, Lu Qipei still couldn't believe that Qi Bo died like this. Such a person who may be the culprit died at such a sensitive moment before she came to the door to ask for an explanation!

Somewhat unbelieving and a little surprised, Lu Qipei was just calm on his face, and said to the doorman: "Take me over and have a look."

The concierge did not suspect that he was there, so he closed the door and took Lu Qipei to the mourning hall.

It is said that Qi Bo is just the steward of the Lu Mansion, but who does not know the elderly of the Lu Mansion, the entire Lu Family has been supported by Qi Bo for the past 30 to 40 years. If it weren't for his loyalty, let alone Lu Qipei's brother and sister, even their mother would have died long ago. So even if Qi Bo handed over power and Lu Qipei took over the Lu family power, Qi Bo's position in the Lu Mansion was different.

So he died. Without Lu Qipei's order, a white lantern was hung outside Lu Mansion, and a mourning hall was set up in Lu Mansion. Even the subordinates of Lu Mansion also consciously wear filial piety.

When Lu Qipei entered the mourning hall, the servant guarding next to him was holding a piece of filial piety cloth in his hand, not knowing whether he should pass it forward.

Throughout the ages, no master has given his subordinates a filial piety. However, Qi Bo's status is somewhat different. Before Lu Qipei took over, he was actually the real master of the Lu family. But he still raised Lu Qipei's sister and brother, and even gave them the rights. In the early years, Lu Qipei and Lu Qicheng treated him as their elders.

Unfortunately, that was only in the early years. Although Lu Qipei was a little afraid of Qi Bo in the early years, he really treated him as a good person as an elder. But now that both sides have almost torn their faces, Qi Bo is more likely to leave Lu Qipei with a mess, which makes it a headache to think about.

Lu Qipei ignored the servant. She looked at the coffin in front of the spirit and strode over.

The mourning hall stopped, and the coffin was naturally not sealed. Lu Qipei walked to the coffin coffin and stopped, pursing her lips and staring at the coffin coffin for a moment. When the others didn't know why, she suddenly reached out to push the coffin lid.

The servants next to him were taken aback, but they didn't dare to stop them, so they had to watch Lu Qipei's actions.

With a slightly dull sound, the closed coffin lid was slowly pushed open. Lu Qipei stopped his hand and took a look, and he saw Qi Bo lying in it. His face was usually closed, his eyes closed, and his expression was calm and serene, as if he was only sleeping.

Lu Qipei's expression was slightly startled, and he immediately put his hand into the coffin in the unbelievable gaze of others.

She took Qi Bo's breath, tried Qi Bo's pulse again, and finally even touched his face to make sure that there was no trace of disguise, and then she had to believe that Qi Bo was really dead. Died so unexpectedly!

After a moment of silence, Lu Qipei turned his head and asked, "What the **** is going on? Qi Bo is so good, why did he go suddenly?"

When he returned from the Lu Mansion, Lu Qipei didn't fully understand what Qi Bo thought.

It was obviously not a coincidence that Qi Bo died at this time. But Lu Qipei asked the servants in the mansion, but they all said that Qi Bo died peacefully when he died, lying in bed without a disease-he was not murdered, if he did not die naturally, he would have committed suicide.

Did you commit suicide after successfully assassinating the emperor and prince? Is there no regrets after the revenge, or does it not want to involve more self-determination? Lu Qipei couldn't figure it out, but his heart was blocked, and the whole person was lost in confusion and entanglement.

She didn't rest even when she returned to the princess mansion, and sat in front of the window all night.

In the morning of the next day, Qi Yang woke up, but there was no familiar temperature around him. After she fell asleep, her mind was still a little confused, she sat up and subconsciously began to look for Lu Qipei's figure, until she saw the person sitting in front of the window, and her frowning brows eased.

Xu has calmed down a lot after this night, maybe he can't isolate the life in front of him at all. Qi Yang got up and walked over, and asked, "How did you get up so early?"

Lu Qipei looked back at her when he heard the words, and saw that she was barefoot again in the cold weather, and subconsciously picked up the person first. After that, he remembered Qi Yang's indifference last night, and his whole body became stiff. She glanced at Qi Yang's expression and saw that there was no disgust and rejection in her eyes, and her stiff and tight body relaxed slightly, and then she hugged her back to the couch and relocated.

Qi Yang's fingertips crossed under her eyes, and his brows frowned: "Why are you so black now?" After touching the other half of the cold bed, he asked, "You didn't sleep again last night?! "

Lu Qipei looked down, not knowing how to answer, and it took a long time to say: "Qi Bo went yesterday."

Qi Yang was also stunned when she heard the words, and she didn't react for a while, she even blurted out rather naively: "Is this nothing to do with him?" Then she knew it was not right. There was no such coincidence?

Qi Bo died, but because of his death, it was confirmed that this matter must have something to do with him.

The two were relatively silent, and the atmosphere that had just improved in the morning seemed to drop back to freezing point. In the end, Lu Qipei plucked up the courage to speak again: "I went back to the Lu Mansion last night, and someone checked it. No one from the Lu family interfered in this matter."

Qi Yang looked at her when he heard the words, and looked at Lu Qipei's open and perturbed eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart. Of course she believed in Lu Qipei, and no one in her pillow knew better than her, but in this situation, it is too difficult and difficult to be uncompromising.

After a long time, Qi Yang looked away and said, "You mean, Xie Yuan has another force dormant in the dark?"

When Lu Qipei heard the words, she shook her head. When talking about business, her expression became calmer: "It should be gone. This change of Chaoyang Tower is a desperate revenge in my opinion. Those forces hidden in the palace should It was Xie Yuan's last trump card, but now it has been dismantled by Dali Temple Qing. Unless they have a way to mobilize the army and disrupt the situation in Beijing, it is dead."

It is impossible to mobilize the army, and the emperor is not faint. Regardless of the Yulin in the palace, the Xiaojia camp outside the palace, or the garrison outside the city, the three soldiers in charge are the emperor's confidants. If it weren't for the emperor's tiger talisman decree, it would be impossible for others to mobilize!

Qi Yang looked at Lu Qipei, Lu Qipei was taken aback for a moment, and immediately revealed a touch of consciousness, took out the Yulin token from his arms and handed it to Qi Yang.

Lu Qipei's actions were natural, and his expressions were not half grievances and reluctance, and his magnanimity made people feel ashamed.

Qi Yang did not accept the token in the end. She turned her head and stood up: "You should take a break. If something like this happens in the palace, it may be summoned at any time. And Yulin also needs you to take over as soon as possible. There is no more time for you to rest."

After saying this, Qi Yang got up and went to bed, this time she remembered putting on shoes.

Lu Qipei retracted his hands and brows softly, and responded in a low voice, "Okay."
