King Qi's face changed slightly. He had never seen Chu Mingcui behave like this. She had always spoken softly, acted steadily and generously, and was friendly to others. Even if she was a servant in the palace, she would never act like a princess. The old lady in the palace
Grandma treats me even more affectionately.
She had never been so sharp before.
He must have been frightened.
King Qi thought of this and stretched out his arms to hug her, "It's okay, don't get excited."
Chu Mingcui leaned on his shoulder, like a wooden man, and roared. She knew she was losing her temper, but she didn't care anymore. King Qi was a simple and honest person, and he was devoted to her. No matter how sarcastic or vicious she was, he would not care.
I won't dislike her.
Perhaps, she should really forget about Brother Hao. King Qi is very good, and he is still the most advantageous now and can give her everything she wants.
Thinking of her words that denounced Yuan Qingling, she felt ashamed and angry. Why would she say such vulgar words? It should have been said by Yuan Qingling.
"Why did Yuan Qingling push you into the lake? Is she crazy?" King Qi asked when he saw that she had calmed down a little.
Chu Mingcui slowly calmed down. When she saw Yuan Qingling standing by the lake at Prince Huai's residence, she had an impulse in her heart to push her into the lake and kill her.
With the sudden onset of fierceness, she didn't make careful arrangements. She only thought about drowning Yuan Qingling when the time came, so she said that the two of them stumbled and fell into the lake together.
However, the moment she fell into the water, she remembered her grandfather's words and shuddered. Her murderous intention subsided, but she could not let her go easily.
Pressing her hard to sink will definitely lead to strong resistance from her. If she hurts herself, it will prove that she has ulterior motives. At the very least, Brother Hao will hate her to the core from now on.
But why did you guess even this step wrong?
"This woman is really too cruel. I thought she had changed her mind at first." King Qi said angrily.
Chu Mingcui cheered up, "Forget it, I have nothing to do, so don't pursue it any further."
"Tui'er, you are so soft-hearted. You let her go so easily this time. Who knows if there will be a next time?" King Qi felt that he couldn't just let it go. He would wait and see what explanation the fifth brother gave. If he is not satisfied
, he wanted to sue his father.
"We are all members of the same family, and it is not good to hurt our friendship. Moreover, she was also impulsive. Maybe she saw Brother Hao and I were childhood sweethearts growing up and thought that Brother Hao had feelings for me, so she lost her mind like this."
"It's ridiculous. Although you and Fifth Brother grew up together and had said that they wanted to get married, now they are both getting married and have not mentioned the past. What is the purpose of her clinging to the past?"
Chu Mingcui sighed softly, "What purpose can it have? Probably, it is also for the position of the prince."
"For the position of prince?"
Chu Mingcui leaned gently in his arms, "Now that the crown prince's position is undecided, you are the most promising. She must feel uncomfortable. If you are instigated to turn against Brother Hao, Brother Hao may not try his best to seize this throne."
position, in this way, she can realize her wish and become the crown princess."
King Qi was furious, "How can a woman have such ambitions? How can I let her get what she wants?"
Chu Mingcui felt a little at ease. If he could use this to motivate him, it would not be a bad thing.
"My mother has been running for you. Although I don't think you care about the position of the prince, and I don't care either, the country of Northern Tang Dynasty always needs capable people to occupy it. King Ji's hegemony is very ruthless. I heard rumors that Hao Hao before
My brother was assassinated, and it was King Ji who ordered him to do it. If King Ji dares to attack Brother Hao, he may not dare to attack you."
"Is it eldest brother?" King Qi's face changed slightly, "Where did you hear the rumor?"
"No need to ask, the information is reliable."
King Qi knew that the source of her information was the Chu family. If this was the case, it must be true. He couldn't help but feel angry and sad. For the sake of the position of the prince, brothers fought against each other and fought to the death. How cruel was it?
As for the position of prince, he said it was a lie that he had never thought about it, but he knew his own weight. If a country was entrusted to his shoulders, could he afford it?
But once Prince Ji gains power, can he retreat to a corner and be his idle prince?
Chu Mingcui continued: "For the position of the prince, everyone has evil intentions. Even Yuan Qingling knows the powerful relationship. This is not a battle for power. This is even a fight of life and death. No matter whether you end up or not, you can't escape, because you
He is the legitimate son. King Ji can tolerate everyone in the future, but he will not tolerate you or my mother."
King Qi held her hand and said, "I will think about it carefully. Don't worry too much."
King Qi may not have thought about these things in his heart, but he always thought that it had not yet reached that point.
But today he found out that it was King Ji who ordered the assassination of Fifth Brother, and he suddenly realized that it was not that he had not reached that moment, but that he did not dare to touch it because of fear.
The news that the two princesses of Prince Huai's Mansion fell into the water soon spread.
The most angry person was naturally Concubine Lu.
King Huai was seriously ill and had reached the last moment, but he was still disturbed by this. How could she not be angry?
She cried and went to Emperor Ming Yuan to report the matter.
After the report, she cried and reprimanded, "Princess Chu is really bullying others. What kind of personal grudge she has with Princess Qi can be settled outside. Why did she do such a sinister thing in Huai'er Mansion? If someone died in Prince Huai's Mansion at this time,
Isn’t it the sin of my pregnancy?”
Emperor Ming Yuan was also worried about his son's illness. When he heard Concubine Lu crying, he was also furious, "How dare Princess Chu kill someone in Prince Huai's Mansion? This is simply unreasonable. Don't worry, I will definitely hold her accountable."
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm stingy, but you know that Huai'er is ill. He can't stand stimulation. Now that something like this happened in the palace, he got angry and his condition has worsened. I feel sorry for him." Lu
The concubine cried so hard that she lost her composure, and her face was covered with snot and tears.
Emperor Ming Yuan was furious and said, "Inform Gu Si and order him to go to Prince Huai's Mansion to investigate, and then inform Princess Chu to enter the palace."
Concubine Lu said: "Your Majesty, this Princess Qi is a victim. She was frightened after falling into the water. Your Majesty wants someone to comfort her."
Seeing that Concubine Lu was at this juncture, Emperor Ming Yuan still remembered not to offend the queen and the Chu family. He was really a clear-minded person.
Even the harem knew not to offend the Chu family.
After sending Concubine Lu away, Emperor Ming Yuan entered the inner palace.
The chess game is placed on the table. It seems that the game is halfway through. Judging from the situation, the fighting is in full swing. However, from the perspective of those who are proficient in the chess game, White will definitely lose, and all retreats will be cut off. If he continues to play, there will be a dead end.
Jing Jingyan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's your turn!"
Emperor Ming Yuan sat down on Bai Zi's side and sighed melancholy, "That's all, no more, I'm worried. It's rare to have a fight with Jingyan, but it's a pity."
He pushed the chess piece with one hand, and the chessboard suddenly became chaotic, "This battle is a draw!"
Jing Jingyan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Good reconciliation."
"Did you also hear what Concubine Lu said? How do Jingyan think this matter should be handled?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked.
Jing Jingyan looked at the chess game with regret and said: "The emperor must have made a decision in his heart. Just like this chess game, the winner has already been decided."
Emperor Ming Yuan was unhappy, "Let's talk about things. What's the chess game like?"
Jingjingyan is this kind of unreasonable and unforgiving person. He can't afford to lose, and he can't even afford to make peace.
