Qing Xiao, Li Quan and others were waiting outside the palace to pray for the stars.
Seeing Qi Xingchen walking out of the palace, Qing Xiao greeted him: "Your Majesty."
Qi Xingchen nodded slightly, got on the horse, and made a gesture to return to Prince Chen's Mansion.
Along the way, Qi Xingchen said nothing, while Qing Xiao and Li Quan exchanged a few glances.
Back at the palace, Qing Xiao and Li Quan followed Qi Xingchen into the study. Seeing that the prince looked unhappy, Qing Xiao boldly explained the reason.
These two people are Qi Xingchen's most trusted confidants. He sighed and said slowly: "I originally asked your Majesty to resign and leave the imperial capital."
Qing Xiao guessed the result: "Your Majesty did not agree to the prince's request?"
Qi Xingchen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty will be practicing in seclusion again in three days, and will hand over the handling of major and minor matters in the court to Prime Minister Dong and me."
Li Quan couldn't help but said happily: "Then your Majesty still trusts the prince."
That's because Qi Xingchen is still useful to him. Qi Shuihan handed over all military and political power to Dong E's party, which made Qi Xingchen worried. But in Qi Shuihan's view, Dong E, a mediocre person, is much safer than Qi Xingchen.
.
Qing Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty still trusts Prime Minister Dong and gives him the military talisman?"
Qi Xingchen nodded slightly. Dong E didn't know how to use troops at all. He had long heard that Dong E had changed military disciplines and privately appointed close relatives to take over the military power of the original generals. As time went by, the tribal alliance in the northern part of the country was bound to be in chaos.
The great king is close to the villains and has far-reaching virtuous ministers. He not only alienates Qi Xingchen but also favors Dong E's people. Dong E has been actively excluding dissidents recently, and most of the old officials in the court dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
"Qing Xiao, His Majesty will definitely summon you within tomorrow." Qi Xingchen looked at Qing Xiao.
"I understand." Qing Xiao responded, Qi Shuihan would definitely know Qi Xingchen's current situation from Qing Xiao, and he would know how to deal with it.
"Okay. You go out first, and I will be quiet for a while." Qi Xingchen sat down with a slightly tired look on his face.
"My subordinates resign." Qing Xiao and Li Quan left.
After leaving the study, Li Quan was a little excited and muttered: "Huh, the world of the northern tribe alliance is not as good as the prince sitting here."
"Shh!" Qing Xiao quickly made a gesture and warned Li Quan in a low voice, "Don't say these words again, let others hear, and you will frame the prince for injustice."
"I am not the only one who thinks this. None of my brothers think so. Your Majesty has worked day and night for the Northern Tribe Alliance. Instead of rewarding him, the Great King has rejected him." Li Quan's resentment grew, and the Twelve Star Guards all felt in their hearts.
Dissatisfied.
"Well, several veterans have come to see the prince many times, hoping that the prince can find a way to regain military power." Qing Xiao said.
But Qi Xingchen's forceful retaking of military power is tantamount to making it clear to Qi Shuihan that he is officially declaring war. From now on, the situation will be like fire and water, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"If the prince raises an army to rebel, I, Li Quan, will be the first to shed blood." Li Quan said angrily.
Qing Xiao gave Li Quan a hard fist: "Okay! Saying this once is enough to kill your head! It's a small thing for you to behead, but it's a big thing for the whole palace of Prince Chen to suffer."
Hua Ying walked towards her. When she woke up, she immediately winked at Li Quan. The two of them shut up and said to Hua Ying in a polite manner: "Princess."
"Is the prince back?" Hua Ying pretended not to see the two of them winking.
"In the study room." Qing Xiao replied.
Hua Ying nodded and walked towards the study. Li Quan looked at Hua Ying's back and sighed: "Beauty is a curse. I hope the princess will stop abusing the prince." Qing Xiao, Li Quan and others were waiting for Qi Xingchen outside the palace.
