Chapter 65 Xie Yanli is very strange
The scene of Qin Jiuwei going to the study was witnessed by the three children not far away.
The three children were all in Xie Jing's house, sitting by the window looking out.
Xie Jingchun munched on an apple and mumbled, "What's wrong with Father? This is the first time I've seen this. Mother was stopped outside the study and couldn't go in."
Xie Jue tilted her little head.
"I don't know, maybe it's because my father is too busy," Xie Jing said indifferently.
He doesn't like to be disturbed when he's reading or studying, and I suppose his father is the same way.
Xie Jingchun received no answer, so he asked another question, "Then do you think Father and Mother will sleep together tonight?"
"Why do Father and Mother sleep together?" Xie Jue asked, tilting his head back.
Xie Jingchun took another big bite of the apple and explained, "Because my father and mother sleep together, it shows that they have a good relationship."
"I have a good relationship with my mother, but..." Xie Jue muttered softly.
But his father wouldn't let him sleep with his mother, sigh...
Xie Jing glanced at him and patiently explained, "Because the servants in the manor all fawn over the powerful and bully the weak, the better the relationship between Mother and Father, the higher Mother's status will be in the Marquis's manor."
Although Xie Jue didn't fully understand what he meant, she felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
He tilted his little face up and looked at Xie Jing with admiration, "Second brother, you're so amazing~"
Xie Jing met his gaze, feeling somewhat pleased. "If you two have nothing else to do, go back to your rooms. I still have homework to do."
"Alright!" Xie Jingchun replied, then tugged at the little bun on the head of the short guy next to him. "Third brother, let's go!"
Xie Jue nodded vigorously and waved her little hand at Xie Jing, "Second Brother, we're leaving!"
Xie Jing curled the corners of his mouth; his eldest brother and third brother were truly childish and adorable.
In the study.
Xie Yanli's face grew increasingly grim as he looked at the candle flame that was about to burn out.
Did she really just leave like that?
She really didn't care about him, which is why she refused to have her own child.
Since she doesn't care about him, he doesn't need to care about her either.
Xie Yanli put down the documents in his hand, washed up, and went straight to the soft couch in the study.
She's just a woman; I should just stop thinking about her.
The night was as dark as ink, and Xie Yanli fell into a deep sleep, but his consciousness gradually drifted into a bizarre and fantastical dream.
In his dream, he was managing a flood in Meng County. At that moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, like a heavy lead plate, making it hard to breathe.
He was leading his men in various locations, directing disaster relief efforts.
Just then, the assassin appeared suddenly like a ghost. A flash of cold light appeared, and he felt a sharp pain in his arm. Warm blood gushed out instantly.
Immediately afterwards, he appeared in the main hall of the Qi King's mansion, where he discussed tax reform with the Qi King.
But suddenly, another unexpected event occurred. An assassin appeared out of nowhere, wielding a gleaming blade, and thrust it straight at him.
Because of his arm injury, he was unable to react in time, and in the chaos, the assassin's weapon pierced straight into his right leg.
A sharp pain struck instantly, engulfing him like a raging tide.
In that misty dream, the scene suddenly changed; the chaotic scene in the main hall of the Qi Prince's mansion was replaced by a battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder.
He saw that the King of Qi was dressed in armor, and his eyes no longer held the gentleness of the past, but were filled with ambition and madness. The King of Qi had actually raised an army in rebellion.
On the battlefield, shouts of battle shook the heavens, and flames shot into the sky, illuminating the dark night.
The rebel army of the King of Qi surged towards the capital like a raging tide...
Xie Yanli suddenly sat up in bed, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and he looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
The surrounding stillness and darkness made him feel disoriented for a moment.
However, the scene from his dream replayed in his mind with unparalleled clarity, every detail so real that his heart pounded for a long time.
The assassination attempt during disaster relief, the bloody battles on the battlefield during King Qi's rebellion, and the excruciating pain in his leg all felt as if they had just happened.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his leg, and the fact that it was completely unharmed left him somewhat bewildered.
Xie Yanli couldn't help but recall the dream Qin Jiuwei had told him before.
She said she dreamed that he was assassinated at the Qi King's poetry gathering, and she never expected that she would have such a dream.
Xie Yanli felt that this matter was too mysterious; he had never believed in gods, Buddhas, ghosts, or monsters.
But the dream was so real that he couldn't help but believe it...
what on earth is it?
