Qi Yunxiao's glass pieces have been selling like crazy in Daqi recently, with a piece of glass costing three taels of silver!
That’s something that’s really worth gold!
"You two have considered everything carefully, but I have the responsibility on my shoulders, and I can't shirk and give in. I wonder when will the glazed boat go to Daqi? I will take the glazed boat back, overcome the difficulties, and work hard to quell the rebellion."
With these words, Qi Yunxiao clearly felt His Highness Prince Heng's greed for Liuli.
There can be tens of thousands of pieces in a boat at least. If it is the largest ship, there are tens of thousands of pieces in a boat, which works out to over one hundred thousand taels of silver!
How could it be given to His Highness Prince Heng out of thin air?
However, Qi Yunxiao still promised well: "In two days, a glazed boat will return to Daqi. Your Highness, why not wait patiently for two days?"
Two days is still worth the wait.
King Heng then patiently prepared to wait for two days.
After everyone went back to their rooms, King Heng's personal maid quietly reported to King Heng what they had seen today.
It turns out that while King Heng was being escorted around Man Whale Island by Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi, his personal maid, who seemed weak but was actually quite capable, was probing around.
Qi Yunxiao only asked people to stare at her from a distance, but did not ask her to find out that she was being watched.
Then, she saw the pile of iron blocks!
When King Heng heard that there was actually a large amount of iron, King Heng's eyes turned red!
"Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi, do they want to rebel and become emperor themselves?"
The maid shook her head: "I don't know."
"If they didn't want to be emperor themselves, why would they cast iron blocks privately?!"
"Hmph! I thought they were afraid of death so they refused to help me, but it turns out they are really ambitious!"
King Heng was thinking about how to get Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi to hand over these iron blocks while ensuring his own safety, and continue to provide him with such iron blocks in the future.
When he got up early the next day, King Heng said after breakfast that he wanted to see the sea and asked Qi Yunxiao to accompany him, so he took Qi Yunxiao for a walk on the beach.
As the sea breeze blew, King Heng suddenly asked about the black birthmark on Qi Yunxiao's forehead.
"Brother Yunxiao, I remember that you used to have a black birthmark on your forehead. Even because of this birthmark, you suffered criticism from many people since you were a child. Is this true?"
Qi Yunxiao did not deny: "It is indeed true."
"Do you know where your birthmark comes from?"
Qi Yunxiao shook his head: "I don't know."
"I once knew a secret thing here, which may be related to your birthmark. I wonder if Brother Yunxiao is interested?"
"It's all over. I'm living a good life now. I don't want to worry about things in the past."
King Heng: "..."
Brother, please follow the routine and say "What's the secret?" It's not difficult.
King Heng, who coughed twice and almost choked to death, said seriously: "If it is related to the murder of Concubine Rong, don't you care?"
Qi Yunxiao: "..."
Does he want to tell himself that he already knew about his relationship with Concubine Rong?
Is this a threat?
Seeing Qi Yunxiao pause, King Heng curled up his lips proudly: He didn't believe he wouldn't take the bait.
Sure enough, after Qi Yunxiao hesitated for a while, he sincerely raised his hands and said: "Please let King Heng inform you."
King Heng held Qi Yunxiao's hand and smiled: "Brother Yunxiao, you are so polite... We are also a family, you don't have to be so polite."
Qi Yunxiao:Listen to me and say thank you?
King Heng then talked about the past events he had investigated.
It turns out that the poison was administered by Prince Gong’s mother-in-law.
Prince Heng said that when Prince Gong's mother-in-law was still in the emperor's dormitory, she unexpectedly learned that his prince had a woman who was dear to his heart, named Fu Yuerong.
But Fu Yuerong has a marriage contract with the Qingping Houfu.
The prince wanted to marry Fu Yuerong as his concubine, but another concubine, Prince Gong’s mother-in-law, found out.
The concubine bribed people to poison Fu Yuerong.
Fu Yuerong got married within two days, and after ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to Qi Yunxiao.
The birthmark on Qi Yunxiao's forehead is chronic poison.
As for how old Qi Yunxiao was, Fu Yuerong suddenly faked his death and became a concubine of the palace. This is another matter. Prince Heng did not dare to discuss such a matter with Qi Yunxiao...
Qi Yunxiao looked stunned: He didn't expect that the person who poisoned was Prince Gong's mother-in-law.
What's even more regrettable is that the later noble concubine is already dead.
Now there are no enemies left.
But King Heng didn't think so: "Although the imperial concubine is gone, Prince Gong is still there. Brother, don't you want to take revenge?"
Good guy, you are a professional at drawing hatred.
Qi Yunxiao sighed: "My mind is a little confused, please ask me to think about it."
King Heng had an understanding look on his face: "Okay, then think about it."
I think the only way to find out the true story of this matter is to ask my mother for confirmation, but I am a man, so I can ask my mother such a question, okay?
What if you ask His Majesty the Emperor?
Will His Majesty explain it? How will he explain it?
Telling the truth?
Or should he whitewash the peace and save his face?
Qi Yunxiao is really upset.
But this does not affect his ability to deal with King Heng.
So Qi Yunxiao's heart was confused and he was confused for two days.
In the past two days, King Heng could not find Qi Yunxiao, but Shen Zhongyi was very enthusiastic and took King Heng around again and again.
It’s such a big island, but I didn’t want to go around it after three or five times. King Heng wanted to leave, and he also wanted to take those iron pieces with him.
But if he wants to achieve his goal, he must talk to Qi Yunxiao!
But he couldn't see Qi Yunxiao.
He went to find Qi Yunxiao, but Shen Qingyu blocked the way: "Ever since he took a walk with His Highness that day, he can't eat or sleep. He seems to be crazy. I haven't asked Your Highness yet, what did you say to him?"
King Heng: "I didn't say anything." How dare he tell Shen Qingyu about this?
Seeing that the agreed time to go back had come, and the ships were coming, King Heng could only put aside the iron blocks for the time being, even with that ship of glass pieces!
But when he was about to board the ship with his personal maid and bodyguards, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out and held his maids and bodyguards in place.
There was obvious panic in King Heng's eyes: "What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"
A familiar figure emerged from the side of the ship: "If I hold your maid down, does that count as rebellion? Then what does that mean for you?"
It’s His Majesty the Emperor!
Although His Majesty the Emperor was wearing casual clothes, the majesty he had cultivated as the emperor over the years made King Heng kneel down with fear!
"Father! Father..." After King Heng took two steps, he realized what he was doing and wiped his face, "Father, I have finally found you! Why are you hiding here? Brother Prince Gong, he... he It’s the other way around!”
His Majesty the Emperor looked at him coldly: "He rebelled, but you didn't?"
How could King Heng admit it? He shouted with tears in his eyes: "I didn't rebel! I'm looking for you everywhere!"
"Oh? Looking for me? Looking for me? Did you find the plaque on the Imperial Study Room? Did I hide it on the plaque on the Imperial Study Room?"
On the plaque in the Imperial Study Room, as usual, the edict of passing the throne is placed.
"You were looking for me and found me in my drawer?"
The drawers of the royal study usually contain jade seals passed down from the imperial family.
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became furious: "What are you looking for? Are you looking for the imperial edict to pass the throne? Or are you looking for the imperial seal?"
"Do you think I really can't find out who poisoned my tea before?"
