Chapter 69: Sorrowful Past (Part One)

  Long Qingyue had just returned to the mansion when she saw that everyone in the mansion, from top to bottom, was busy and flustered. She was startled at once, grabbed a servant and asked: "What's going on?"

  That person replied: "I don't know what's going on either, I only know that the old master got angry after he came back from court."

  Long Qingyue's eyes narrowed slightly as she walked towards the courtyard where Long Li lived. She saw Long Li sitting on the main seat with a gloomy and depressed expression, while Long Qingyu stood beside him, frowning slightly. The room was filled with servants, all of whom were lowering their heads and trembling with fear, afraid of being affected by Long Li's anger.

  Long Qingyue walked into the house, waved her hand, and signaled everyone to leave. After everyone retreated, she said: "Grandfather, what's wrong? Is it that there are some unscrupulous guys on the imperial court who made you angry again?"

  Long sighed, stood up, and gazed out at the vast horizon, his face filled with disappointment and sorrow. "In those days, I fought alongside the Emperor on the battlefields, chasing after the heavenly yuan, sharing life and death... Those were bonds of brotherhood... Now, however, I am suspected by the Emperor..."

  Long Qingyue somewhat understood that the current emperor was afraid of Grandfather's military power, so he suspended Grandfather's military position. To put it nicely, it was said that Grandfather was already old and shouldn't be bothered with national affairs, and should just enjoy his remaining years. To put it harshly, it was to take away Grandfather's military power, in order to prevent him from having any rebellious intentions.

  "Grandfather, being with you is like being with a tiger. Now that I don't have any responsibilities on my shoulders, shouldn't I be even more carefree? Why bother about who lives or dies?"

  In Long Qingyue's heart, what did others' life and death have to do with her? She only cared about the relatives and friends who truly cared about her!

  Long Lie's expression turned solemn, and he said, "As the General of the Nation, I have a duty to protect the people of Qing Long. Even if I'm suspected by the Emperor, I cannot abandon the people of Qing Long! Moreover..."

  He turned his head to look at Long Qingyu and Long Qingyue, his eyes filled with love and worry.

  Although Long Li did not say the words behind, Long Qingyue had already guessed more than half. If Long Li was removed from his military post or something happened to him, she and her brother would be suppressed by some people in the court, even killed.

  Long Li once dominated the imperial court, but has declined in recent years. On the surface, the imperial court appears harmonious, but beneath the surface, they are actually vying with each other. Therefore, there are many people in the imperial court who can't wait for Long Li to die or lose power, and as soon as he is gone or loses power, they will strongly suppress the General's Manor!

  The first to be affected must be Long Qingyu and Long Qingyue siblings.

  This is exactly what Long Li was worried about.

  "Grandfather, don't worry, if those people dare to lay a hand on our General's mansion, I'll die before letting them get away with it!"

  Long Li shook his head and said, "Don't talk about dying or not. Grandpa just hopes you two can be healthy and safe. Actually, there are some things that should be told to you too."

  "What's wrong?"

  Long Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and then Long Li said, "You all follow me to the ancestral hall."

  Long Lai walked ahead, his normally tall figure appearing somewhat hunched and desolate at this moment.

  Inside the ancestral hall, generations of Long family ancestors were worshipped. On the leftmost tablet was written "Long Ao Tian" in three characters. Long Qing Yue's pupils constricted slightly, and she felt a strange feeling lingering in her heart, a faint pain...

  Is this really my father?
