Chapter 161 Ma Qi Picked Up the Jade Pendant
Lao Ba felt distressed when he saw his mother's dazed expression. Lao Ba held Concubine Liang in his arms but his eyes looked towards the door. He knew who was there!
As happy as Concubine Liang was just now, she is as sad now. Concubine Liang slowly withdrew from her son's arms. Concubine Liang still remembered how happy she was every time she hugged her son when he was young!
But now she is only filled with endless sadness? She doesn't know what went wrong with her in the past few years! Why did she get stuck in a dead end? Why did she lose her own son?
Isn't her greatest wish in life to see her son grow up safely and happily? Why did she destroy her son's happiness with her own hands?
Concubine Liang was a little bit unable to accept this situation, but in front of Old Eight, she could only hold on. She could not cause trouble for Old Eight anymore, and could not make Old Eight worry anymore.
She needs to be strong. She is a mother and cannot always hide from others. She should protect him instead of letting her son protect herself. It would be a dereliction of duty as a mother!
Kangxi and others outside the house were listening to the conversation between the Eighth Princess and Concubine Liang. Everyone had different thoughts in their minds. The eldest brother and the prince thought that the Eighth Princess was really too stupid. She was just a woman. There were many such people in the world!
The fourth, ninth and tenth brothers all felt sorry for the eighth brother, but it was too late. The ninth and tenth brothers had also received letters from the people around them!
Kangxi deliberately brought these sons to Liang Fei's side. When Kangxi knew that the Eighth Son had entered the palace, he wanted to see what was going on with the Eighth Son. But he couldn't save face, so he had to come with a lot of people in a big way!
But it was such a coincidence that he just happened to hear Concubine Liang asking the Eighth Prince to go find Yunyan. The people around Kangxi had been paying attention to Yunyan, and Yunyan did not hide her figure, so Kangxi also knew that Yunyan had boarded the ship to go overseas!
Kangxi stayed outside the door because he wanted to know what choice his father wanted to make. He wanted to listen to what they said.
Concubine Liang: "Yinsi, don't force yourself. Don't force yourself in front of mother!"
Lao Ba just smiled and didn't say anything!
Concubine Liang: "Ah..., let's go back! Mother is tired too and wants to rest!"
The eighth brother was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay... my son is going back. If mother has anything, just let someone notify me!"
Concubine Liang: "Don't worry!"
The Eighth Brother smiled at Concubine Liang, and then walked out of the door under Concubine Liang's gaze. As soon as he went out, he saw a large group of people including Kangxi.
To everyone's surprise, Lao Ba bowed respectfully, then turned around and left without saying anything!
Such a good opportunity was missed, but the prince and the eldest brother felt it was a pity that they could not show their affection in front of Kangxi!
Did Kangxi say anything? He just lowered his eyelids to cover his eyes. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Kangxi walked to the door of the room and saw Concubine Liang slumped in a chair. She was not crying as usual, but there was a hint of determination in her expression.
Kangxi was a little confused about Concubine Liang’s reaction, so he didn’t go in. Instead, he turned around and left!
It's not that Concubine Liang and Caiyin didn't notice that Kangxi was at the door. Unfortunately, Concubine Liang didn't have the energy to deal with Kangxi, so she could only pretend that she didn't know!
After walking out of Concubine Liang's palace, the expression on Lao Ba's face gradually became dull. He didn't know where his thoughts were drifting, and he just walked on the road unconsciously!
An Qing, who was standing behind Lao Ba, looked at his master worriedly. An Qing wanted to say something, but did not dare to go forward to disturb him, because he knew that what his master wanted at this moment was quietness.
Suddenly, when he was about to reach the palace gate, Lao Ba bumped into a minister at a corner.
Because Fucha Ma Qi was about to enter the palace and was just around the corner, no one noticed him!
An Qing quickly supported Lao Ba. If he hadn’t supported Lao Ba in time, he might have fallen to the ground!
Ma Qi was furious at first, and was about to open his mouth to curse which servant had bumped into him? But the person who bumped into him turned out to be the Prince of Lian. Thinking of the title of this living king of hell, he immediately swallowed the words in his mouth!
Ma Qi quickly adjusted the hat on his head, and then bowed and saluted!
Ma Qi: "I greet Prince Lian!"
Lao Ba stood firm, pushed Anqing's hand away, nodded at Machi, then walked around Machi and forward!
Ma Qi was not surprised when he saw this scene. After all, this guy never played by the rules. Nodding to him probably meant that he was in a good mood!
Ma Qi looked at Lao Ba's back and shook his head. He just felt it was a pity. He was such a good boy, but he fell in love with a woman, an orphan at that!
Ma Qi whispered: "What a pity...!"
Just as Ma Qi was about to leave, he noticed that there was suddenly a jade pendant under his feet. Feeling a little confused, he looked around.
Ma Qi squatted down and wanted to pick up the jade pendant, but as soon as he squatted down and looked at the pattern on the jade pendant, he felt it was extremely familiar.
Ma Qi picked up the jade pendant and examined it. When he saw the words "Yunyan" on the back, his eyes instantly filled with tears!
He had been looking for this jade pendant for more than ten years. He thought he might never find it again in this lifetime, but he didn't expect it to appear in the palace. Ma Qi was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the jade pendant!
Just at this moment, Lao Ba, who discovered that Yi Pei was lost, came back. Seeing the jade pendant in Ma Qi's hand, he hurried forward to grab it.
If Lao Ba was in normal condition, it would be easy for him to take the jade pendant back from Ma Qi's hand. However, although Lao Ba had rested well in the past few days, he was still injured!
So Lao Ba could only watch Machi and retreat while holding the jade pendant tightly!
Lao Ba suppressed his anger and said to Ma Qi calmly, "Master Fucha, this jade pendant is mine, please give it back to me!"
When Ma Qi heard what Lao Ba said, he just felt happy and didn't care at all whether Lao Ba's tone was good or not This was the happiest day for him in the past ten years. He finally waited for a useful piece of information!
Lao Ba looked at Ma Qi strangely, wondering why he looked like he was neither crying nor laughing.
It happened that at this time, the Ninth and Tenth Brothers, who were about to leave the palace, and the Fourth Brother and their group, found this place. Seeing the Eighth Brother and Ma Qi confronting each other, they became nervous and walked quickly to the Eighth Brother, fearing that something would happen again!
