"No," Xiao Yichen answered yes and said, "Although the Shui surname is rare, it is not only the only one of the Duke of Huguo. After the Duke of Huguo was wiped out, other families of the Shui surname in Northern Qi were not implicated, let alone you came from Nan Chu, so you can't even be implicated, don't worry."

As he said that, Xiao Yichen stretched out his arm, walked through the gap between Shui Lingyue's back and the wall of the car, hugged her thin shoulders, and pulled her into his arms.

Shui Lingyue leaned in his arms, and her uneasiness calmed down slightly.

Shui Lingyue was curious. In the past, she was not so nervous even when she was facing an enemy who was ten times stronger than her. Now, for some reason, she always felt a little worried about gains and losses.

Shui Lingyue thought about it, maybe because the wedding was about to come, she really didn't want to have anything else.

Shui Lingyue leaned against Xiao Yichen's arms and whispered: "Yi, can you tell me about the Duke of Protecting the Country?"

Shui Lingyue always felt that Emperor Qi suddenly brought Shui into the palace, which was not that simple.

Xiao Yichen nodded, then whispered to Shui Lingyue about the Duke of the People.

The Duke of Huguo was originally named Shui Yuntian. He and Emperor Qi were brothers of the opposite sex who grew up together. When Emperor Qi was five years old, he joined the Wuji Sect with Shui Yuntian to practice. The two had a deep relationship. Shui Yuntian also lived and died for Emperor Qi several times. Therefore, after Emperor Qi ascended the throne, he immediately granted Shui Yuntian the title of Duke of Huguo. Shui Yuntian also married his favorite sister Shui Yunrou to Emperor Qi and became his queen.

Xiao Yichen couldn't tell when the relationship between the two began to crack. After all, he was still young at that time, but what he knew was that the first time the two had a big quarrel was because Shui Yunrou was taken away by Emperor Qi's favorite concubine Shi Xianxian.

Shui Lingyue looked at Xiao Yichen and said, "It seems that Emperor Qi should love Shi Xianxian very much. Since he loves her, why don't he be named her queen? Instead, he wants to marry Shui Yuntian's sister Shui Yunrou?"

Xiao Yichen explained: "Although Shi Xianxian is favored by her father, she is an orphan, and her family is thin, so she is naturally not the best candidate for the queen. Besides, with the deep brotherhood between her father and Shui Yuntian, the candidate for this queen is naturally from the Shui family."

"Ah?" Shui Lingyue said incrediblely: "Since the brotherhood is deep, you shouldn't have loved Shui Yunrou and married her. Isn't this a harm to others?"

Xiao Yichen looked at Shui Lingyue and said, "The identity of the queen brings not only the glory of the queen, but also the glory of the entire family behind it. In this world, which family's daughter doesn't want to be the queen?"

Shui Lingyue said disdainfully: "What's so strange about the queen? Have you ever heard of a saying that the gate of the palace is as deep as the sea? Although he is the queen, if he does not have the favor of her husband, he will guard the huge palace with rich clothes and food every day. Who cares about the sufferings in this?"

Shui Lingyue suddenly had a bad impression of Shui Yuntian. How cruel is a person who is willing to send his sister to the deep palace for the benefit of his family?

Xiao Yichen looked at Shui Lingyue curiously. In the past days, many of the women he had seen were intrigues to become women around the emperor, but no one had ever been so disdainful of the throne of the queen.

Xiao Yichen looked at Shui Lingyue's clear eyes, which were so sincere that there was no trace of hypocrisy. Xiao Yichen reached out to stroke the soft hair above Shui Lingyue's head and said softly: "If everyone in the world could think like Yueyue, there wouldn't be so many disputes."
