Chapter 121: Restoring the position of prince Qi Yi was stopped by Yan Yan and had to sit on the bed without getting out of bed. Feeling her breath, Qi Yi suddenly felt that his stomach hurt this time and he was willing to do so.
"Second brother..."
Before anyone arrived, the voice came first. In the blink of an eye, Qi Feng and Brother Jiu appeared in the room. Yanyan immediately walked to Qi Feng's side, fearing that he would misunderstand, but he just patted her hand.
He didn't say anything, which made Yanyan a little surprised.
"Second brother, is your stomach feeling better?" Brother Jiu asked concernedly as he sat beside the bed.
Qi Yi nodded and glanced painfully at Yan Yan, who was holding Qi Feng's arm. There was a dull pain in his chest again. This time he was sure that it was not a stomachache, but a serious heartache.
Perhaps, when she left, he fainted from heartache, but it just happened that he had a stomachache at that time, which gave him a reason to comfort him.
After a few words of greetings in the room, the eunuch's voice calling for the Queen's arrival came from outside. Qi Yi couldn't help but frowned. The Queen came in with Chuan Yunde's support and saw several people standing in the room, especially
After seeing Yan Yan, her face froze obviously, she glanced at them, then walked to Qi Yi's bed and sat down.
"The Queen Mother heard about what happened yesterday. Why are you so stubborn? Your father doesn't want you to kneel down, so why are you still kneeling there?" The Queen started to blame.
Qi Yi frowned and said nothing. The queen has been thinking about the position of the prince since she was a child, and Xian Shao cares about whether he will be happy and whether those things are what he wants. Now, even if she has a stomach problem, the queen
The concern he expressed was not about his body or his mood, but whether he would make his father unhappy and whether his position as prince could be restored.
Yan Yan saw the sadness on Qi Yi's face, and seemed to finally understand why Qi Yi used to look helpless and sad when talking about the queen.
The queen only stayed in Moyang Palace for a while and then left. Yanyan suddenly felt very sad. Could it be that the struggle for power in this palace caused the queen to lose her maternal nature? Why could she treat her son so indifferently?
?He just came over for a quick look, and left without even saying a word of greeting.
On the way Qi Feng sent her back to Su Yixuan, Yan Yan couldn't help but ask some questions about the relationship between Qi Yi and the Queen. Qi Feng reluctantly told her some, and she felt that Qi Yi was restrained in the palace.
pain.
Time slips away lightly between the fingers, leaving no trace bit by bit, but it makes people worry and frightened.
A few days after the prince collapsed while kneeling in the Jinluan Palace, there was still no movement from the emperor. All the civil and military officials in the court were filled with panic and they really couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking. Every day in the court, the ministers still argued with each other. Some people also made insinuations and asked questions.
The few officials summoned by the emperor had no results.
Yanyan is also concerned about the pending crown prince position. The reason why she is concerned about this matter is very simple, that is, she is worried that the emperor will make Qi Yu the crown prince. It is impossible for the emperor to abolish the crown prince frequently in a dynasty. This time the emperor will definitely
She is more cautious. Once Qi Yu is established as the prince, his position as prince will definitely be stronger than Qi Yi's. She can't believe what the future will be like. Perhaps, his first thing is not to deal with Qi Feng.
But there's no guarantee that the second thing won't be the case.
Yanyan got up early that day and sent a eunuch from Su Yixuan to find out what happened in the court. The crown prince's position had been vacant for more than a month and it was finally decided today. In the past, I felt that time passed very quickly.
Yan Yan suddenly felt that he was getting more and more miserable every minute. He sat in the yard and flipped through books randomly, looking in the direction of the door.
After waiting anxiously, Yanyan simply stopped waiting. As soon as he walked out of Suyixuan, the eunuch sent to inquire about the news came back. Yanyan asked anxiously: "What is the emperor's final decision?"
The eunuch hesitated for a moment and then said: "I haven't gone to court yet. I'm afraid that the lady will be anxious while waiting. I want to come back and report to the lady first before going to inquire."
"Then why don't you go quickly?" Yanyan couldn't help but yelled. Looking at the direction in which the eunuch disappeared, she felt slightly uneasy. She would have gone to court long ago, but today she has not yet gone to court at this hour.
After waiting anxiously for nearly an hour, the eunuch who had inquired about the news finally came back. Yanyan grabbed the eunuch by the lapel and asked, "Who is it?"
"Yes...it's the second elder brother." The eunuch who was caught by her took several breaths and said. His anxious heart finally fell, as long as it wasn't Qi Yu.
The eunuch who had calmed down looked at Yan Yan with doubts on his face, thinking that she would be disappointed when she heard the news. Unexpectedly, she laughed relaxedly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked, "Miss, why did you hear that it was Er?"
Brother is reset, are you not disappointed but a little happy?"
Yanyan did not answer his words, but walked straight to the courtyard, picked up the book, and started reading with the corners of his lips curled up.
After the queen heard the news of Qi Yi's restoration, she was obviously not surprised. She looked at Chuan Yunde and said with a smile: "The third elder brother still wants to fight with me, he is still a bit young."
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress, the second elder brother has finally been restored, your hanging heart can finally relax." Chuan Yunde smiled with a complicated expression.
"I have never been worried. This second elder brother who holds the position of prince does his duty." The queen retorted.
Chuan Yunde hurriedly bowed and said: "What the empress said is absolutely true."
The ministers who came out of the court discussed the emperor's decision. Those who supported the second elder brother all walked out of the court with smiles, while the ministers who supported the third elder brother and the seventh elder brother had expressions on their faces.
of loss.
Qi Yu and the twelfth elder brother reached out to Qi Feng, Qi Yi and the ninth elder brother who had just walked out of the court. Qi Yu calmly stretched out his hands, "Second brother, congratulations on your return."
Qi Yi just stretched out his hand to touch it gently, and left with a frown. Qi Feng and Brother Jiu also caught up with him and left side by side. Qi Yu's hand fell stiffly, and he turned around and returned to Huayang Palace.
The twelfth elder brother next to him accompanied the third elder brother back to Huayang Palace with a worried look on his face, and watched as he ordered his servants to bring out all the wine.
Night began to fall, and Qi Yu was still drinking with his drink. He had been drinking for nearly three hours. Brother Twelve could only drink with him. When he drank a glass, Qi Yu drank a whole jar.
"Third brother, don't drink anymore." The twelfth elder brother snatched the wine glass from his hand. He gave the wine glass to the twelfth elder brother and raised the wine jar to drink. The twelfth elder brother again took the wine glass from his hand.
The wine jar was also taken away.
"What on earth are you going to do? Give it back to me, I want to drink." The third elder brother started to speak a little incoherently, shouted loudly, and started staggering to grab the wine from the twelfth elder brother's hand.
The twelfth elder brother had no choice but to hold up the wine jar in his hand, suddenly stood up, and poured it into Qi Yu's pocket. Qi Yu, who was already drunk, was in a daze when the cold wine was sprinkled on his head, and the strong stimulation made him instantly
After waking up for a while, a gust of cold wind blew, and the coldness on his body made him completely awake. Looking at the twelfth brother who was still holding the wine jar in front of him, he stretched out his hand and pressed his temples, and said: "
Being drunk, am I acting rude?"
The twelfth elder brother placed the wine jar in his hand on the table, looked at Qi Yu who had lost his composure and said, "Third brother, go and change into clean clothes first."
"Forget it, blowing the cold wind will make you more awake." Qi Yu shook his head. His carefully planned action ended in failure once again. Sometimes he really wanted to give up. However, he always reminded himself that his mother was still in the cold palace.
, for the sake of his mother, he must win the position of prince.
"Third brother, please calm down and think carefully about why this plan failed. It's because we only focused on reducing the power of the seventh brother, but forgot that the second brother has the support of the queen. Although the seventh brother is favored, but
The queen is more powerful." The twelfth prince walked to Qi Yu's side and said.
After being reminded by his twelfth brother, Qi Yu also calmed down from his melancholy. In the past month, he really only cared about reducing Qi Feng's power, but did not care that his strong enemy also had a queen. He began to regret his negligence.
, so that a perfect opportunity was missed.
Brother Twelve seemed to have made a lot of determination and whispered a few words into Qi Yu's ear. Qi Yu's face gradually faded away from the sadness, replaced by a sneer, "Twelve, this matter
I’ll leave it to you.”
The twelfth elder brother nodded, hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Third brother, do you have to be the prince?"
Qi Yu gave him a meaningful look, "I have no choice."
The twelfth elder brother suddenly nodded firmly towards him, "Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to help you. However, if I lose this opportunity, I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while."
"I've been waiting for so long, it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer." Qi Yu showed a hint of helplessness, and then revealed an enigmatic smile.
The two stopped talking and looked quietly at the dark sky, unable to find even a single star.
Qi Yi, who was also staring at the night sky, was extremely depressed. The cold night was freezing and the winter wind was biting. Qi Yi stood tall and silent, and the dark night surrounded him like a tide, and the expression on his face seemed like a moonless one.
The sky is hazy.
He longed for the outside world, to be free. Once, she also longed for the outside world, to be free. When he heard that she had the same yearning as him, he felt a faint joy that seeped into his heart bit by bit. He
For her sake, he secretly planned how to leave the palace, but when he finally wanted to share that joy with her, he realized that she had just passed him by.
She fell in love with his seventh brother, but she didn't know it. It was as if there was an indescribable feeling that strangled his heart in an instant. That feeling was as hot as fire and as cold as ice.
Deep in my bones. The joy of having the most beautiful and beloved person in the world is fleeting, replaced by the pain of not being able to. There is only one thought in my heart shouting, Yan Yan, if I could meet you first, would you... would you?
