When I opened the door, I was greeted by a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. It took me several attempts to get used to it.
The curtains used to block the cold had been removed, and the helpless doctors were kneeling there dejectedly. When Wang Bo saw me coming, he quickly saluted. I raised my hand and said, "How is King Qi?"
Wang Bo shook his head silently.
I walked to King Qi's bed in two steps and was shocked. I didn't see him so weak the day before yesterday. Why...
It turns out that in the face of life and death, even if you are a king, there is nothing you can do.
King Qi rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled at me: "King Xia, please call Qi Xuan."
I was startled, and an unspeakable sadness came over me.
It turns out...it turns out that King Qi called me over to release Qi Xuan safely. And King Qi was afraid that the queen and the prince would be harmful to Qi Xuan, so he imprisoned Qi Xuan in the clan mansion to save his life.
Qi Xuan's life also caused the queen and the prince to relax their vigilance.
I nodded quickly: "Okay!"
I called Liang Tao and Duotong, took King Qi's token and went to the clan's mansion to arrest people.
Who would have thought that after the queen found out about this, she actually disagreed. She broke in and said loudly: "King Xia, our Majesty has been ill in bed for a long time and his mind is confused. King Xia must not be credulous. Qi Xuan is the guilty party."
How can you face the saint with your body?"
My eyes turned cold: "Now in Qi State, only a few people have the final say!"
The queen was horrified. She took a step back and looked at King Qi on the bed with shocked eyes. She slowly shook her head and said, "How is that possible?"
"Why is it impossible? Liang Tao Duotong, go take someone with you."
"Come here, stop them!" The queen seemed to be desperate, and actually dispatched her guards to block the way of Duotong and Liang Tao in front of King Qi.
The saying that women's hearts are the most poisonous is absolutely true.
The queen in this matter is like a poisonous snake. As long as someone blocks her steps, no matter who that person is, she will bite him without hesitation.
When Duotong and Liang Tao saw that I was silent, they immediately jumped out like Li Xian's arrows. The guards who bravely broke in fell to the ground one after another under the swords of Duotong and Liang Tao.
The queen was so frightened that her beauty turned pale, and she shouted with a trembling voice: "The King of Xia has regicide...The King of Xia has regicide."
"Shut up!" King Qi suddenly sat up from the bed and glared at the queen fiercely.
Seeing this, the queen stumbled to King Qi's bed, knelt down with a bang, and raised her pitiful face: "Your Majesty, are you confused? Qi Xuan has been imprisoned in the clan mansion."
Later I learned that the Zongren Mansion was the highest prison in Qi. Once imprisoned, few people could get out.
King Qi closed his eyes and did not look at the pitiful look of the queen: "Of course I know, but can't I see my son before I die? Go ahead and call Yaoer over."
The Queen was stunned for a moment, unable to find the words to reply, so she hurriedly sniffed and left.
After a while, Qi Yao arrived first, knelt down all the way, climbed all the way to the edge of the bed, and stared at King Qi on the bed with his red eyes unblinking: "Father, do you want to see my son?
"
King Qi did not speak, but looked at his son kneeling in front of him with an extremely complicated look.
Perhaps at this time, he was thinking about how to prevent his two heirs from killing each other.
No matter which one of them becomes emperor, the other one will not end well.
