Lin Qian'er calmed down her panic and said warmly: "Princess Rui is thin and she will not be able to bear being beaten with thirty sticks. I hope the emperor can forgive Princess Rui and just confine her to solitary confinement. If the emperor feels that confinement for one year is a punishment
It's relatively minor and can be detained for two or three years."
She moved her with emotion and reason, and listened to every sentence with Yan Qiqi's best interests in mind.
"Exactly!" Yan Qiqi laughed disdainfully, "I, Yan Qiqi, don't need anyone who doesn't want to do it to beg for mercy."
She is too lazy to deal with this kind of woman and waste her energy.
"You..." Her words made Lin Qian'er feel ashamed and aggrieved, and a mist appeared in her beautiful eyes, "Qian'er knows that she was wrong, please forgive me, Princess Rui."
Yan Qiqi snorted and ignored her.
Looking at Yin Xianglong who was sitting in the seat, he pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what I did wrong that warrants this kind of punishment. I'm just telling the truth."
"Stinky girl, you despise the imperial authority and are treasonous, yet you dare to say that you have not made any mistakes." Yin Xianglong saw her unrepentant look and suddenly became furious, "Someone will pull Princess Rui down with a heavy fifty stick and put her in a prison."
"Your Majesty, I always thought you were a wise king, but you punished me indiscriminately. It's so chilling." Yan Qiqi didn't show a trace of fear on her face and continued to confront Yin Xianglong.
Seeing that she was punished with fifty sticks without changing her expression, Yin Xianglong showed a look of relief. With her body, even if she was punished by fifty sticks, she would have to lie in bed for two or three months.
He squinted his eyes and looked at her coolly, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Girl Ping, if you agree to let Jue'er take a concubine, I will spare you and just lock you up for three months."
"You'd better hit me." Yan Qiqi refused without thinking.
"You..." Yin Xianglong snorted, "Humph, you stubborn girl, someone will take this girl out and give her thirty sticks."
"Wait!" Yin Tianjue immediately stood in front of Yan Qiqi and said in a cold voice: "Father, I will only marry Ah Qi in this life and will never marry another woman. If father insists on beating Ah Qi,
Qi, as a husband, it is natural for him to take the punishment on his behalf, so it is up to the sons and ministers to take the thirty sticks."
When Yin Xianglong heard this, he became furious and said, "You stinky boy, do you know what I am going to do today? As long as you are willing to marry another woman as a concubine, I will make you the prince. As a prince, how can you only have one woman?"
."
As soon as his voice fell, there was an uproar in the hall.
The tea cup in Yin Tianqi's hand shattered into powder with a "click" sound, and his face was covered with a layer of frost.
"Qi'er, I know you are dissatisfied, alas." Yin Xianglong sighed softly and continued, "You are the eldest son, and I should have passed the throne to you, but you are vicious and reckless by nature, so you are not suitable to be the king of a country.
I hope you can help your fourth brother well, and I believe he will not make things difficult for you."
Yin Tianqi's eyes flashed slightly, and he suppressed the resentment in his heart, "I will obey my father's teachings."
"Oh, I hope so." Yin Xianglong sighed, then looked at Yin Tian Jue and said, "Jue'er, there can't be only one woman in the harem, so my father offers you a concubine today, you have to accept it."
"Father, son..." Yin Tianjue wanted to say that he did not want to be the prince, but he did not say this because his second brother wanted to.
Then, he changed his words and said: "Father, as a man, I disdain to use women to consolidate the country. If the son does not accept the courtier's daughter and will not help him manage the country, then it is okay not to have such a minister."
His voice was gentle, yet frightening.
All the courtiers in the main hall immediately knelt on the ground sparsely, "I will serve the country until my death."
"Well, let's all get up." Yin Xianglong glared at these spineless ministers, then turned to look at Yin Tianjue, "Jue'er, are you serious about never marrying another woman?"
"My son, I will only marry Ah Qi in this life, and will never marry anyone else." Yin Tianjue said without hesitation.
Seeing his stubborn look, Yin Xianglong had no choice but to compromise, "Forget it, you will know the pros and cons after you become emperor."
As a father, he naturally knows what kind of character this son has. If he doesn't agree, ten horses won't be able to pull him over.
If he uses force, he will become stronger, which really gives him a headache.
"Thank you very much, Father." Yin Tianjue said lightly, then he glanced at Yan Qiqi and said, "I hope Father will forgive Ah Qi. She also loves my son and that's why she said this."
"You bastard, you forgot about your father when you had a wife." Yin Xianglong muttered dissatisfiedly.
When Yin Tianjue heard what he said, he touched his nose in embarrassment, but showed no regrets.
"What makes you such an arrogant and unreasonable father? Your son and I are very loving, but you..." Yan Qiqi was about to express her dissatisfaction when she was stopped by someone.
Yin Tianjue winked at her, not letting her continue talking, because a certain unreasonable father's face was already filled with dark clouds.
"Humph!" Yan Qiqi snorted and stopped talking.
No matter how unreasonable the emperor is, he is still her father-in-law. You should still be respectful when you should be respectful. This is what a daughter-in-law should do.
Yin Tianjue cleared his throat slightly and said, "Father, you know that Ah Qi is outspoken, so don't punish her."
"Hmph!" Yin Xianglong also imitated Yan Qiqi and snorted, glancing at them and ignoring them.
Yin Tianjue looked at Yan Qiqi and then at Yin Xianglong, feeling depressed.
It was common for Ah Qi to be a little temperamental, but it was a bit unacceptable for her father to do the same.
Without saying anything else, he pulled Yan Qiqi back to his seat.
Next, the mandarin duck feast continued.
Pairs of couples also matched up, and there were also many mismatched ones who were still single.
When the mandarin duck banquet was halfway through, Yin Tianqi left the hall while no one was paying attention.
This scene happened to be seen by Yan Qiqi, who tugged at Yin Tianjue's sleeves and whispered: "Yin Tianqi is out."
"Yeah, I know." Yin Tianjue nodded, understanding.
At this moment, a pair of palace maids came in carrying trays of wine bottles and replaced the wine bottles on everyone's tables with new ones. Changing wine bottles was normal at such a long banquet, so no one became suspicious.
Yan Qiqi reached for the wine bottle, glanced at the wine bottle, and saw a strange color in her eyes.
"Aqi, you can't drink this wine." Yin Tianjue took the jug from her hand.
Yan Qiqi glanced at the wine pot and sighed softly, "Oh, the fine Huadiao wine is wasted like this. Yin Tianqi is really a prodigal."
"Haha..." Yin Tianjue chuckled softly and nodded her forehead, "You little money man."
"Tch!" Yan Qiqi rolled her eyes and did not deny it.
After a while, there was a "Plop--" and someone fell to the ground, and then they all fell limply to the ground.
Yin Xianglong suddenly realized something was wrong, "What's going on?"
At this time, he suddenly felt that his body was weak and weak, his hands had no strength at all, and he fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Eunuch Li quickly went over to help him.
"Father——" Yin Tianjue shouted and fell to the ground.
Afterwards, Yan Qiqi lay directly on top of him, pretending to be weak and weak.
Most of the men and women present were drunk, and they were all weak and had no strength at all.
The remaining women who had not drank were all helpless ladies. Seeing this scene, they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
There were also palace maids and eunuchs who didn't drink, but they were all people who didn't know how to do martial arts.
Faced with this situation, Yin Xianglong didn't panic at all. He said in a deep voice to Eunuch Li who was standing on the side, "Li, Eunuch Li, call the imperial guards outside quickly."
He had no strength at all and couldn't stop breathing when he said a word.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li did not dare to delay, and shouted as he ran, "Someone, come quickly."
"Hahaha..." At this time, Yin Tianqi walked in from outside the palace with a big smile, "Eunuch Li, I would like to advise you to stop shouting."
"Jin, King Jin..." Eunuch Li has been working in the palace for most of his life. Seeing this situation, he understood in his heart that Yin Tianqi wanted to force the palace to rebel.
Yin Tianqi walked up to him, stretched out his hand to touch his acupuncture points, and said with a proud smile: "Now the entire Palace of Supreme Harmony is under my control. As long as I give the order, those killers will bloodbath the Palace of Supreme Harmony. You guys will do it one by one."
No one can escape."
As soon as he spoke, the hall was suddenly covered in darkness, and everyone was immersed in fear.
"You, you traitor!" Yin Xianglong gritted his teeth and said angrily. If he hadn't been unable to move, he would have gone up and slapped Yin Tianqi a few times.
"Rebellious son?" Yin Tianqi smiled contemptuously, "Father, you have forced me to do this. My son is not only the eldest son, but also his legitimate eldest son. The throne should have been passed to me, but now you have passed the throne to me."
Yin Tianjue, my son and my ministers are dissatisfied."
"You are unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility. I don't want the Kingdom of Lietian to fall into your hands." Yin Xianglong said angrily.
"You didn't let me take the responsibility. How do you know I can't do it well?" Yin Tianqi said with a gloomy face, "I can't take the responsibility. How can Yin Tianjue and Yin Tianyi do it?"
He glanced at Yin Tianjue, who was half lying on the ground, "It's not because they are that woman's sons that you will pass the throne to them."
"Qi'er, hurry up and get the antidote." The queen, who had been silent until now, lost her temper and spoke out.
She hadn't had a sip of wine since entering the palace, so she didn't feel any physical discomfort.
These days, she has fasted and chanted Buddha's name, and her mind has become much duller. Looking back on her life, she has done many ridiculous and shameful things.
I originally wanted to stay with Qingdeng for the rest of my life, and I didn't want to come to this mandarin duck banquet, but Yin Xianglong said that there were important things to be announced today, and as the queen, she had to attend.
She just came, and it turned out that Yin Tianjue was made the crown prince.
If she had not agreed before, now she also thought about it. After death, money and power are just a passing cloud. So what if you become the emperor? If you die, you will only leave a coffin in the end.
Now she doesn't want Qi'er to become the emperor, she just wants him to live a peaceful life and be a carefree and leisurely prince.
