Zuo Xingzhi clenched his hands into fists. He knew about Qi Jianlan's physical condition. Although he had seen her well before, Tang Miao was too evil.
He whispered: "Father, I..."
Zuo's father continued to persuade: "If you get involved now, even if Qi Jianlan wins, she won't live long, and the country of Qi will still fall into Qi Xing's hands."
"I see that Qi Xing is not a kind person. If he rises to power, he will definitely deal with us, the Zuo clan."
"If our strength is weakened in this fight, when Qi Xing wants to attack Zuo, Zuo will have no chance to fight back."
"So the right thing for us to do at this time is to sit back and watch the fight between the two brothers. No matter who wins, it won't have much impact on us."
Zuo Xingzhi was not too surprised when he heard Zuo's father's words.
In fact, Zuo's father has often revealed such messages over the years.
He also knew that what Zuo's father said was indeed the way for the Zuo clan to survive and become strong.
But he couldn't possibly watch Qi Jianlan die in the palace!
He said solemnly: "Father also knows that Jianlan and I grew up together and have a deep relationship. I can't watch her die!"
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave. Zuo's father did not stop him, but only asked: "I know this is what you are thinking about her."
"Are you sure that she will be deeply in love with you until death?"
Zuo Xingzhi stopped, remembering the precautions he had taken against him before going to Qi Jianlan.
Zuo's father then asked: "If you were not the legitimate son of the Zuo family, do you think Qi Jianlan would still favor you and be affectionate with you?"
Zuo Xingzhi's figure trembled.
He knew Qi Jianlan, so he knew the answer was no.
Zuo's father walked up to him and let out a long sigh and said, "Xingzhi, you are the legitimate son of the Zuo family and the future head of the Zuo family."
"What you do affects the fate of the entire Zuo clan."
"Over the years, you have been in and out of the palace and planning for Qi Jianlan. As a father, I won't say anything."
"But you also have to think about yourself. Qi Jianlan cannot have children. Even if she can give birth, her child will not be named Zuo."
"How can the future head of the Zuo family not have children of his own?"
Zuo Xingzhi's hands clenched into fists.
He used to think that as long as he liked Qi Jianlan, it would be enough for them to stay together.
But after getting along with Qi Jianlan in the past few years, he felt that his idea was a bit naive.
Because Qi Jianlan is very ambitious, he himself is not sure how much sincerity he has for him.
Moreover, Zuo's ancestral precepts came first, so he could not completely ignore them.
The current situation really made him feel a little uneasy.
Zuo's father reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "OK, not only do you have to think about yourself, you also have to think about Zuo."
"As my father grows old, everything about the Zuo family will be handed over to you from now on, and you will be responsible for coordinating everything."
"When the responsibilities on your shoulders become bigger, you have to learn to make choices and know what to do."
"Nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory!"
A man on the left stood in the courtyard all night.
At daybreak, he began to develop a high fever.
Zuo's father was very satisfied with the result. Zuo Xingzhi got sick at the right time!
At the same time, the capital was also in chaos.
The British Duke received the news secretly sent by Emperor Xuan of Qi last night, and he immediately led his troops and horses into the palace.
When Tang Miaoxin entered the palace, he had been prepared to lead people to surround the palace if Qi Jianlan did not let her go.
The current situation just gave him the opportunity to enter the palace in a legitimate manner.
He hated Qi Jianlan to the core and wished to cut her into pieces.
If possible, he could not wait to rescue Tang Miaoxin from the palace right now to treat his son's illness.
The city guards in Zicheng have also entered a state of alert. They are controlled by Qi Jianlan's confidants.
At this time, there was chaos in the capital, and the leader of the city guards immediately led his people to control the situation.
The British Duke already had quite a reputation in Zicheng, so he raised his arms and called for Emperor Xuan of Qi.
Those royalist ministers who had been suppressed by Qi Jianlan immediately stood up to support him.
An army stormed into the minister's home and killed his entire family.
Blood dyed Zicheng red.
Zicheng, which was originally peaceful, soon became turbulent.
Killing intent swept across the sky above Zicheng.
A long-planned palace coup reared its ugly head again.
When the people of Zicheng saw this scene, they were very experienced and stayed at home.
This kind of thing happens every once in a while in the past few years.
Although they were scared, they knew that it was the big shots above who were fighting, so they just had to close the door to their home.
As long as they don't get involved in this matter, they won't be in much danger.
This is indeed the case. The streets are now full of troops, and the two waves of people fight when they meet.
Ning Guzhou had just left Zuofu, and when he saw the blood on the street, his eyes became more murderous.
He has seen such things as palace changes several times.
Now in Qi State, watching this palace change as a bystander is like watching a joke.
The reason why Zuo's father stopped Zuo Xingzhi so firmly was because of Ning Guzhou's contribution.
After Ning Guzhou thoroughly studied the information Su Letian had collected before, he immediately took action.
In addition to the British line, he also developed several other lines.
After Tang Miaoxin treated the British prince yesterday, Ning Guzhou knew that Qi Jianlan would definitely attack Tang Miaoxin.
After these days of preparation, Tang Miaoxin has already thought of a countermeasure.
Yesterday when she went to the bank to deposit gold in Shuxiu, she told Ning Guzhou her plan in Morse code.
After Ning Guzhou figured out what she meant, he was speechless.
In terms of boldness, Tang Miaoxin dares to be ranked second, but no one dares to be ranked first.
He really wanted to tell her that she was somewhat impulsive in doing so and it would bring about a lot of trouble.
But Ning Guzhou also knew that given Tang Miaoxin's temperament, she probably wouldn't listen no matter how much he told her.
After all, when she was in the first city, Tang Miaoxin wanted to rush to Qi State to cause trouble.
Not to mention that this time Qi Jianlan tied up Tang Miaoxin and hurt Xiao Tiandou. This must not be tolerated.
If Tang Miaoxin didn't poke a big hole in Qi's sky, then it would be really unreasonable.
Ning Guzhou calmly thought about her plan yesterday. There were only a few of them, and it would be almost impossible to succeed if they rushed directly into the palace to save people.
But if he cooperates well outside, it is not impossible to break the Qi State's sky and escape.
It's just that the time is a little tight, but he has made arrangements before and can still cope with it.
He carefully thought about the strength of Qi Jianlan and Emperor Qi Xuan, and knew that in this situation, as long as Qi Jianlan was alive, Emperor Qi Xuan would be at a disadvantage.
Ning Guzhou felt that if Emperor Qi Xuan was always at a disadvantage, it would have a great impact on Tang Miaoxin's plan.
So he had to find a way to weaken Qi Jianlan's power.
