Chapter five hundred and twentieth: Taking advantage of the trend
In Qi Ziyan's impression, his father was a silent but gentle gentleman. When he was a boy, he admired his father like a god. As he grew older, it became increasingly difficult for him to understand why he was so decisive in killing people.
Kindness and kindness can appear in the same person, and the mixture is just right.
His father was a benevolent king who implemented the New Deal and served the people wholeheartedly. He believed that a hundred years from now, his father would definitely be an important figure in the history books of the Ling Kingdom.
But his father is not happy. Although it seems strange to use such a word to describe an emperor. It is not important to the superiors whether they are happy or not. They pay more attention to being strong. But Qi Ziyan cares. He cares that his father often looks down upon him.
He was staring at the sky in the distance, as if he were a puppet that had lost his soul. His shrewd and wise father should not have such a desolate look.
Later, he learned about his father's heart. Regarding the woman named Ji Mengxian, he saw that woman's ink painting in his father's study. He could only say that among the many paintings he had seen, hers was the only one.
The pen and ink can amaze him, as if the ink bamboo has been given life, telling endless words.
Everyone knew that there was a third prince in the palace who had his own way of doing things, acted unruly and unruly, but the emperor never restrained him and even indulged him a bit. No one knew what the emperor was thinking.
.
But Qi Ziyan knew it, because he had clearly expressed to his father that he was unwilling to get involved in any court disputes. He just wanted to be a dashing prince and a carefree prince in the future. Then his father looked at him
After a long time, he agreed. For the first time, father and son sat together and chatted. They were not monarchs and ministers, but father and son.
"Not everyone can be as open-minded as you. Glory, wealth, and power are all things that devour people's hearts. I am very happy that at least one of my sons can retain this innocent heart. I envy your courage, and I also
I envy your freedom and ease..." This was what his serious and silent father once said to him, and Qi Ziyan always remembered it in his heart.
He knew that his father's indulgence was somewhat compensated because he withdrew from the competition for the crown prince's position, so he compensated in another way. Perhaps that was also a kind of compensation for himself, because he had fought for that crown prince.
The throne gave up many things that he was unwilling to give up.
Therefore, the relationship between him and Emperor Ling was more like a father-son relationship. Therefore, when he learned Lu Ming's identity, he was surprised but only understood.
"That's it." This explained the recent actions of Concubine De and Qi Zijie. Originally, he was still wondering that they seemed to be uneasy these days, but now it seemed that he had been a spectator for so long that he had forgotten that they could
Apart from the position of the crown prince, there is probably nothing else that causes the conflict.
"Your ability to accept is stronger than I thought." As the two of them walked out, Dongfang Ye seemed thoughtful, "I'm still not worried. I'll go to the prison myself. You go to the queen first."
Knowing his worries, Qi Ziyan didn't say much and went to the Queen's Palace alone to see what kind of tricks the annoying mother and son were playing.
In fact, he didn't care at all who took over the throne, but because of his clear onlooker, he always felt that his father's wisdom should not value the fifth brother so much, and he didn't think that the fifth brother who was cruel and rough could handle it.
The country of Ling.
But at this time, he had become slightly clearer. It seemed that the key issue still lay with Lu Ming, the prince who had always hidden his identity. If Concubine De was targeting him, it meant that Concubine De had regarded him as
One of the biggest threats.
If this is the case... Qi Ziyan, who was walking quickly, stopped for a moment. The mess that was swirling in his mind was finally sorted out. He curled his lips and smiled. It seemed that he had underestimated his father.
Just as he walked quickly to the Queen's palace, the Queen's palace was already dark and crowded with people. Many concubines from the harem came after hearing the news and were sitting in the front hall.
"Empress De, the Empress is like this, this..." A nobleman's eyebrows were full of panic. The incident with King An had just happened not long ago. If any news comes out at this time, if someone takes advantage of the situation to cause trouble, they
What use can a woman have?
The queen's palace is very large. The emperor and the empress are receiving treatment in the back hall, while others are worried in the front hall. At this time, not only the concubines are present, but also several princes and princes, and several princes have also rushed over.
Normally, you are not allowed to enter the harem at will, but this is also a special moment, so there are not so many rules.
"Yes, now that something has happened to the Empress, Concubine De is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, so she has to give us an idea." Another concubine agreed.
Speaking of it, Concubine De was appointed in a critical situation. She rarely appeared in front of people on weekdays. Apart from the fact that she had a capable, shrewd and favored son, this empress was never involved in the competition for favor in the harem, so she and
The relationship between most people is pretty good. At this time, if the power falls into the hands of those concubines who are usually favored and arrogant, it would be better for them to be in the hands of the Concubine De.
"Sisters, don't worry. The emperor and empress have their own destiny, and everything will be fine." Concubine De waved her hands towards everyone, the indifferent expression on her face straightened slightly, and then said, "The top priority is to investigate and deal with the empress as soon as possible.
What kind of poison was poisoned? With so many people at the wedding banquet, how did the villain inject the poison? And Doctor Lu, relying on the emperor's usual trust, dared to randomly administer the drug after the emperor was poisoned, which made the emperor's condition worse.
…”
"Doctor Lu is usually trusted by the emperor. Is there a misunderstanding about what happened this time?" Tao Guiren used to be favored by him. Later, after losing a child, his health failed. Now he stays in his palace all day, extremely tired.
Don't leave the palace. If something big happened to the emperor this time, she would not leave the palace.
"I didn't expect that Tao Guiren, who has been in his palace all day, knows the emperor's affairs very well." This kind of counterattack naturally does not require Concubine De to take action herself. Anyone around her can counterattack appropriately.
At this time, she just needs to play a fair role.
"No matter how much the emperor trusts Doctor Lu, it is a fact that he gave the emperor a wrong diagnosis. I have already asked someone to put him in prison. As for how to deal with it, we will wait until the emperor wakes up." He waved his hand and stopped the topic.
.
"But..." Tao Guiren wanted to say more, but Concubine De looked over coldly, "Why, is a mere Doctor Lu worthy of your pity? Or is there some kind of relationship between you two?"
"I don't dare." Tao Guiren pursed his lips and stopped talking.
After Concubine De looked around, she said calmly: "Such a big thing happened in the palace. I'm afraid everyone will know about it in less than an hour. I have asked General Yuchi to enter the palace as soon as possible to protect the safety of the palace.
People take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Who is General Yuchi? Isn't he the natal family of Concubine De, and a descendant of the Ji family?
At this time, letting a general enter the palace is probably... not a good sign, right?
