Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

This angry reprimand almost scared the jailer and several cell bosses out of their souls.

He hastily explained that Li Qiu's injuries were from the beatings when he was arrested, and it had nothing to do with them in the cell!

Next, Changsun Wuji didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, so he hurriedly arranged for someone to help Li Qiu out of the cell, and found a clean room outside.

During this process, Changsun Wuji also asked a lot about Li Qiu's life experience.

Li Qiu also told the truth about his situation.

I am a child of a merchant family in Chang'an City. Now that the family has fallen, it is only him and an old servant who is in his fifties.

Afterwards, Changsun Wuji arranged for someone to heal Li Qiu's injuries, while he himself rushed into the palace with the jade pendant.

……

In the palace, seeing Changsun Wuji so anxious and sweating profusely, Empress Changsun also asked with a frown.

"I don't know what happened to make brother so urgent?"

Changsun Wuji waved his hand while panting, and then took out the jade pendant.

"Queen, have you ever recognized this jade pendant?"

Afterwards, Empress Changsun took over the jade pendant.The next moment, just like Changsun Wuji at that time, his expression changed drastically.

"Brother!"

"This jade pendant...could it be??"

"Where did you get this jade pendant?"

Changsun Wuji sighed at this time, "That's right, it's this jade pendant, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Even the pattern on it was carved by the craftsman with my own eyes."

Afterwards, Changsun Wuji also told Empress Changsun what happened about Li Qiu today.

"Although I saw this child, he is somewhat similar to your sister."

"But this matter is very serious, and there must be no trouble."

"In my impression, that child has a birthmark, right?"

"I don't know about you, sister, do you remember?"

Speaking of this, Empress Changsun burst into tears and said while shaking her head: "How can I forget this kind of thing?"

"Brother, you know, how many times have I dreamed of him in my dreams?"

"On the lower back of that child, there is a quincunx-shaped birthmark, and there is a scar not far from the birthmark."

"If you can match all these, you can't go wrong..."

"Brother, where is that child now, take me to see him quickly!"

……

About half an hour later, Empress Changsun secretly drove in Changsun Wuji's car, and together they arrived at the place where Li Qiu was being held.

After a while, Li Qiu, who was tightly blindfolded, was brought up topless, and stood there waiting for questioning.

After all the idlers had retreated, Empress Changsun came out from behind the screen.

Feeling extremely nervous, he slowly approached Li Qiu.

Afterwards, she finally saw the plum blossom-shaped birthmark on Li Qiu's lower back, and the unique scar not far from it.

All of this was exactly the same as what she had in her heart and memory, except that it was a little bigger.

At this moment, she is completely sure that the boy in front of her is the child she lost more than ten years ago!

Seeing Empress Changsun crying like rain at this time, Changsun Wuji knew the final answer. While feeling sad and sighing in his heart, he hurried forward to help his sister.

Perhaps it was because Empress Changsun was too emotional that she accidentally touched Li Qiu's lower back.

It also caused Li Qiu to feel a little itchy, and subconsciously stretched the wound on his body that had just been medicated.

Immediately, a little blood flowed out.

This time, Empress Changsun was so frightened that her face paled, and her distressed lips couldn't help trembling.

Previously, all my attention was on the birthmark on Li Qiu's lower back.

Until now, she didn't notice the horrible wounds on Li Qiu's body that were bleeding with pus.

It was as if every wound on Li Qiu's body was engraved on Empress Changsun's heart.

Seeing that the scene was a bit out of control, Changsun Wuji hurriedly pulled Empress Changsun away and left here.

On the other side, he also ordered his most confidant subordinates to release Li Qiu so that he could be resettled.

After returning to the palace, Empress Changsun cried heartbroken and grieved.

It was not until she cried for a long time that she complained about her eldest grandson Wuji, "Brother, now I have finally found this child."

"Why don't you let our mother and son recognize each other, and insist on pulling me back to the palace?"

Changsun Wuji sighed deeply at this time, "Oh, queen, you and Li Qiu, you mother and child don't recognize each other!"

"Don't even think about it. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, Chengqian has just been canonized as the crown prince."

"At this time, you suddenly recognized a brother who is two years older than him. This will definitely bring another big trouble to the already unstable court situation."

"So this matter, we can only do it slowly, there is no rush!"

Chapter 3 Wei Zheng's Late Night Visit

Empress Changsun is a famous empress of a generation in history. Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, she immediately understood the priority of the matter.

However, she missed her day and night, tossed and turned for 17 years, and now her son was in front of her eyes, but she never saw or recognized her.

This feeling is too cruel for a mother.

So for a while, Empress Changsun burst into tears, biting the back of her hand that covered her mouth with bloodstains.

"Brother, if Li Qiu leaves Chang'an, or if something happens and disappears from my side again, then I really won't be able to live..."

Changsun Wuji naturally persuaded from the sidelines, "Oh, sister, don't worry, don't worry."

"Li Qiu, I will definitely find someone to protect him secretly, and I won't let him leave Chang'an City easily."

"Now, now that we have found this child, things will be much easier in the future."

"I'm fine, and I'll visit him often."

……

Besides, Li Qiu on the other side was sent back home in a carriage after being secretly seen by Empress Changsun.

At this time, he was also at a loss.

It was expected that he would be released from prison.

Wei Zheng and Wang Gui are both prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. As long as they are here, they will be released sooner or later.

It's just that the standard of being released is a bit high, right?

Good guy, the wardens who used to treat me as nothing are now nodding to me.

It was to look at his own wounds, to buy new clothes, and to drive the carriage.

Simply flattered.

After Li Qiu's carriage arrived at the door, the old servant Wang Zhong had already been waiting here.

Seeing that Li Qiu was safe and sound, this [-]-year-old servant who had lived with Li Qiu for many years was even more excited and burst into tears.

"Thank God for your blessing, young master, you are finally back!"

Li Qiu also patted his arm feelingly at this time, "Don't be too sad, isn't there a saying called Wu Ji Tai Lai?"

"After this catastrophe, it will get better and better."

After listening to Li Qiu's words, Wang Zhong smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, no, it's very peaceful."

"Young master must have suffered a lot during this time in prison, right?"

Mentioning this, Li Qiu still couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth.

"In this big prison, it's not bad to have you spend money to manage it."

"At most, the environment is harsh and the conditions are more difficult."

"Only the whips that were whipped when I was arrested really hurt."

"Well, it's over anyway, so don't mention it."

"By the way, Wang Zhong, how much money did we spend in the prison this time?"

Silver has always been what Li Qiu cares most about.

This can be related to his standard of living and quality.

He really engraved in his heart the catastrophic days of eating bran and swallowing vegetables in the prison.

Later, the old servant Wang Zhong told him that for this management, the already dilapidated family property was completely peeled off.

Now there are only this old house in Chang'an City and a small restaurant not far from the street.

As for other valuable furniture, calligraphy and paintings, they have all been pawned.

There were not many servants in the first place, but a few were also dismissed.

Currently in this huge house, there are only Li Qiu, Wang Zhong, and the other two servants, only four people.

It can be said that there are only four walls.

"By the way, Wang Zhong, are my tools, our wine shop, and vegetable plot all right?"

Wang Zhong shook his head, "The imperial guards only took the young master, Lord Wei, and General Feng away that day, and nothing else happened."

"Master, I have prepared hot water."

"Why don't you take a shower first and have a good sleep?"

Li Qiu waved his hand, "Before I came out of the prison, I had already washed and washed."

"Even the clothes are new."

"Don't go to bed before going to sleep. Go and get me some wine and food first, and some more meat."

"These days, I'm really starving to death."

"As for money, don't worry too much."

"After a while, after our wine is finished, the money will come to your door."

……

Maybe Li Qiu himself didn't expect that his words would be so eloquent!

After a full meal and a good night's sleep, when it was getting dark, Wei Zheng came to the door on his own initiative.

"Master Wei?!"

"Come in, come in, come in!"

After going through this prison disaster, Li Qiu and Wei Zheng lived together and died together.

Now that we meet again, we are quite cordial to each other.

At this time Wei Zheng patted Li Qiu on the shoulder and looked at him carefully.

Seeing that he was fine and in good spirits, he felt relieved.

"Li Qiu, seeing that you are fine now, I am relieved."

"This time, because of the few of us, you have been implicated."

Li Qiu waved his hands and chuckled, "What did Master Wei say?"

"It is really a blessing for the people of Tang Dynasty that the few adults have been cleared of their charges!"

"Master Wei hasn't eaten at this hour, has he?"

As he said that, Li Qiu wanted to invite Wang Zhongbei to serve wine and food, but was stopped by Wei Zheng.
