stand back, let me come

Chapter 1509 1508: Finale (Eleven) [Seeking monthly votes]

"hehe."

Qi Shan sneered at his three colleagues.

He has known Gu Chi the longest, and their first meeting can be traced back to more than 20 years ago, followed by Qin Li, and Chu Yao, who has known each other for the shortest time, for more than 10 years and approaching 20 years. What kind of personalities these three people have, Qi Shan can't forget even after drinking Meng Po soup: "A Prince Yuan who came out of nowhere and took the position of crown prince, this is how you three react? You lied to me and said you didn't know, do you think I would believe you?"

He is just physically ill, not brain-destroyed.

If these three really didn't know who Shen Rugui was, they wouldn't have looked so half dead! Qi Shan's patience ran out. He was like a tiger that had been hungry for days and couldn't find prey. Every twitching muscle on his face showed restlessness and suppressed anger.

"What on earth are you hiding from me?"

Qi Shan's teeth were chattering and the whites of his eyes were filled with red veins.

"Who the hell is this Shen Rugui?"

His restlessness seemed to affect the air. He paced back and forth like a trapped animal, and the force of his feet was so heavy that even the animal skin blanket on the ground was trampled into pieces. "Where is the master? Where is the master now?"

During the two days that Qishan was recuperating from his injury, Shen Tang did not come to visit him.

He thought the latter was too busy with government affairs to come, but when he thought about how the master had time to sort out so many things and rack his brains to give titles to meritorious officials, he thought that even if he was busy, he should not be too busy. In that case, why didn't he come to see him?

The trip of Chu Yao and the other two was also quite strange.

But in an instant, Qi Shan realized where the problem lay.

Most likely, the master took advantage of him and took risks again. Maybe she suffered a little loss at the hands of the enemy, and she was afraid that he would find out and make trouble with her again? Thinking of this, Qi Shan felt that his eyes were darkening again and again. According to his many years of experience, the master's guilty conscience is proportional to the risk.

The riskier the situation, the more guilty she felt.

Qi Shan glanced at his three colleagues and laughed out of anger.

"Okay, I won't answer. I'll go and get an explanation myself."

He was furious and was about to leave.

Qin Li said: "The Lord is not in the camp."

Qi Shan retracted his right leg that was about to step out of the tent.

Qin Li had been very irritable these past two days. He was so stressed that he wanted to find a pipe. He asked someone to look through his suitcase and then he remembered that the tobacco he brought was all used up. "Shen Rugui is the heir chosen by the master. He will be born in a month and he is also the master's own flesh and blood."

Qi Shan could no longer bear it: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

In ten months of pregnancy, the melon will ripen and fall off.

The crown prince will be born in a month?

Does this mean that the master is more than eight months pregnant?
No, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the master has to give birth to the child himself.

Qi Shan thought of the strange poisonous insect Qiu, the infertility dream maker in Jimo, and then thought of Gongyang Yongye, who firmly believed in male fertility, and suspected that this was how the so-called crown prince came about: "The crown prince is related to the country, and the master did not inform him in advance?"

If it was just the monarch visiting the harem, there was no need to inform the ministers, but the crown prince was a matter of great importance, and Qi Shan, as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, should have known about it in advance and made some mental preparations, right? For example, the matter of establishing a crown prince was not something that the monarch could simply decide on by patting his forehead.

At least you should inform your trusted ministers.

Qin Li: "..."

How should he answer this?

He felt that this crown prince was probably the one with the most undisputed bloodline in history, and even his roots and sprouts were witnessed by all the ministers. Qin Li and the other two knew about the crown prince's existence only ten hours earlier than Qi Shan: "The Lord has chosen you and me as the four ministers of regents."

Qi Shan's pupils trembled: "What do you mean?"

His body was not thin, but at this moment, he looked like a weak, yellowing leaf that had fallen from a branch. A gust of wind could blow him away. Qi Shan held on tightly to the things at hand, not even caring about his fingers being burned by the scalding wax, and letting the skin on his knuckles turn red and blister.

Qin Li said woodenly, "It means to entrust an orphan to someone else."

Entrust an orphan to me... entrust an orphan to me... entrust an orphan to me...

Qishan’s reaction was beyond the three’s expectations.

He was neither furious nor furious, nor did his face turn red. His face was blank, and his dark eyes lost their light for a moment, and were so dark that they could absorb everything. He blinked blankly and muttered, "I can't hear you..."

At the moment when he lost his hearing, he clearly heard something breaking in his mind, and a completely black and white silent world followed, followed by a dizzy spell. He dropped the lamp with his powerless hand, and a little orange-red mixed wax oil bloomed on his sleeves.

"Shen Youli."

Whisper this name in the softest voice.

"You—have—betrayed—me—again—"

The hatred engraved in those four words made Chu Yao and the other two shudder.

Qi Shan closed his eyes in exhaustion. The seven lords before him were all liars. Once they gained power, they became arrogant and exposed their true faces. But she, Shen Youli, was the best at pretending. She had deceived herself for more than ten years! He was just an ordinary person. How many more decades could a person have in his life!

Before I lost consciousness, I saw three colleagues looking panicked.

Qin Li: "Put out the fire!"

The three hurriedly took off his coat that was on fire, and ordered someone to invite a doctor from Xinglin to see him. Fang Yan looked at Qi Shan, who was halfway to the gate of hell, speechlessly: "Why are you so angry?"

Are you trying to piss yourself off to death?
Chu Yao said: "He knows about the master's matter."

Fang Yan was also one of the insiders: "But the results haven't come out yet, right? As the saying goes, if he's alive, we have to see him. If he's dead, we have to see his body. Now there's not even any accurate information sent back, why is he so furious?"

Chu Yao: "..."

He didn't answer, but Fang Yan had his own answer.

Putting himself in his shoes, he was also desperate because of his elder brother. If Twelve and Thirteen were not still alive, he would have wanted to die with his elder brother. It was reasonable for Qi Yuanliang to do so: "Prime Minister Qi was... seriously injured this time."

Qin Li looked over and asked, "How much?"

"The heart meridian was injured, and there were many cracks in the brain meridians. Fortunately, they have stopped healing. But..." Fang Yan paused and said worriedly, "The brain meridians and heart meridians are the most fragile and most important life gates of the human body. This time the remedy was timely and a life was saved, but it will take a long time for these cracks to recover. During this period, you can't get so angry again."

Repeated bursting of wounds can be fatal.

What’s more, what about the heart meridians and brain meridians?

No matter how powerful a doctor's medical skills are, there is a limit to them.

Qin Li felt a headache when he heard this and asked, "But Qi Yuanliang now... do you think he can stay calm when he wakes up?"

Fang Yan: "..."

It is indeed a bit overwhelming.

Qin Li seemed to have made up his mind: "I remember that there is a secret recipe circulated in the royal family, which can make people drowsy and listless after drinking it? Can we increase the dosage of this recipe to control him for a while?"

If Qishan can't calm down, then use external things to help him calm down.

Fang Yan knew about this thing.

He shook his head and said, "This thing is extremely harmful to the body and should not be taken."

He went back to look around to see if there was a suitable solution.

Qi Shan was in a coma for a whole day before he slowly woke up.

When he woke up, he was surprisingly calm, but his expression was numb as he cooperated with Fang Yan's treatment. His face was several shades paler than a corpse that had been in the morgue for three days, and he looked lifeless. No one could see what he was thinking at the moment, and even Gu Chi's scholarly ways were blocked by the heavy barrier deliberately laid by Qi Shan. The more this happened, the more frightening it was.

All literary men are mentally ill.

Many people don't get sick just because they haven't encountered the stimulus. No one knows what earth-shattering things a scholar with a sick heart will do. Qishan still has seven lives in his hands. His brilliant record can be checked.

Qin Li came over and guarded for half a day.

Qi Shan was quiet and didn't go crazy, he just asked him for a pipe.

"I'm out of tobacco."

"I still have a little."

I don’t know what year the tobacco leaves are from, and the taste is a bit pungent.

"Cough cough cough-"

Qi Shan almost choked out his internal organs.

"Let's go see the crown prince."

Qi Shan was so emotionally stable that even Qin Li was scared.

After becoming pregnant, Shen Xiaohonghua De was placed by Jimo Qiu in Shen Tang's original main tent, which was heavily guarded nearby.

Those who were present that day knew what was going on, and those who were not present also sensed a strange atmosphere from the tense atmosphere, as if an unspeakable danger was brewing in the dark. Ordinary people could not approach the main tent, only Chu Yao and his four companions could enter and exit freely. There was a bright red light inside the tent.

The little red flower broke away from the wooden stick and its roots went deep into the earth.

It was originally only half the size of a palm.

At this moment, the shadow of the petals has expanded to half a meter.

A fist-sized baby is curled up in the middle of the pistil.

No, it's not so much a baby, but rather a dense mass of blood gathered into veins and bones, with a faint golden glow on the outermost layer, resembling skin. Qi Shan looked at this little thing with a familiar aura with deep eyes. As if sensing something, Shen·Little Red Flower·De stretched his limbs and changed his posture in the pistil.

Qin Li's eyes were always on Qi Shan.

After a long while, Qi Shan asked, "How many days are left?"

Jimo Qiu replied: "The 26th."

Qishan looked at the future crown prince who was beginning to take human form.

"Is it male or female?"

From the name left by Shen Youli, we still don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl.

Jimo Qiu: "Female."

The life created with His Highness's blood is a heresy that is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, and some aspects will be targeted and restrained, one of which is reproduction. If a masculine zodiac sign is chosen for the child, it is basically impossible to have the next generation, so this child is naturally a feminine zodiac sign.

Qishan said: “Yes.”

His eyes swept over the bored Gong Xichou.

"How many people don't know that the Lord is not in the camp?"

Qin Li: "You should ask how many people know about it."

Qi Shan: "Now is the critical moment. If the thieves in the central region find out, it will only cause more trouble. Why not create a false impression that the master is still here and take the central region first? We can discuss the rest later."

Qin Li disagreed: "Who is suitable?"

Qi Shan sneered: "Gong Xichou is very suitable."

The main reason is that Gong Xichou’s thinking process is very consistent with his strength.

There is no need for Gong Xichou to do anything. He just needs to show up occasionally to make his presence felt and let ordinary soldiers know that his lord is always there.

Gong Xichou felt that this task was not very difficult.

"Talk to me after you've discussed it."

Qin Li hesitated: "Should we discuss this matter with you first?"

Having someone pretend to be the master can indeed stabilize people's hearts, especially those who are unaware. Except for a few senior officers in the army, others still don't know the whereabouts of the master and the appearance of the crown prince. If there is a substitute in the open, it can indeed reduce a lot of trouble. However, this suggestion was made by Qi Yuanliang, and the latter was in a very bad mood. Qin Li couldn't help but show his early vigilance and said, "What do you think?"

Qishan sneered again: "Good."

Qin Li: "..."

Qi Yuanliang is crazy.

Shen Tang felt like he was going crazy.

There is probably no one in this world who is more miserable than her.

After working hard for half a lifetime, he still had to stay up all night to deal with piles of work before heading off to an uncertain future. Such a huge project of rewarding people for their contributions should have been discussed by a group of people in a meeting, and it would take three to five months to finalize the final list: "... Yuanliang is really going to be hard to appease this time..."

My scalp tingles when I think about this.

She had the urge to stay home for three days even if she returned alive.

I really don't dare to enter.

Chu Yao, Qin Li and the others objected, but Shen Tang's moral blackmail still worked on them. Their high moral bottom line prevented them from abandoning everything. Even if Shen Tang never came back, they would most likely take good care of the children and Kangguo. As for what would happen in the end, Shen Tang did not have high hopes - it was not that he did not recognize their abilities, but that human hearts were unpredictable.

One of them is that people leave and the tea gets cold.

The second reason is that there are some things that Shen Tang, the lord, can do, but they, as ministers, cannot do. Shen Tang is a wise lord who cleans up the court, but their actions will be misinterpreted by those with ulterior motives as factionalism and ganging up on dissidents. If a court is full of various opinions and no one makes a final decision, people's hearts will be easily scattered, government orders will not be implemented, and ordinary people at the bottom will suffer in the end. If they can hold on until the crown prince grows up, the situation may get better. However, there is no guarantee that the elders' thoughts will not change during this process...

Human hearts are fickle, and it has been like this since ancient times.

Shen Tang had also thought about abdicating the throne to one of them.

After careful consideration, I found that no one can do it.

Thinking of this, Shen Tang scratched his head again.

"…If I had been smart enough to accept someone who was pleasing to the eye and not a troublemaker, I would have at least had an adult person in charge of the government behind the scenes…" After muttering, Shen Tang shook his head again, throwing this absurd idea out of his mind. If the next step of ruling behind the scenes is to wear a yellow robe, and the elders of Kangguo are dissatisfied with the person ruling behind the scenes, the conflict between the two sides may become more acute, and the commotion may be even greater.

"Ugh……"

It’s all because of the dog’s kindness!

If it weren't for Gou Shannian's interference, if it weren't for someone digging up Yunda's grave and moving the Four Pillars, why would she get lost in the mountains? Yes, she lost her way in the mountains.

I took out the map given by Jimo Qiu and looked at it until my eyes were dizzy.

Is this something that humans can understand???

Shen Tang used the List of Gods as a tool to weed and clear the way. In her hands, this thing was like a universal military shovel, which could be used to clear the way through mountains and build bridges across rivers. It could also be used as a hiking stick when she was tired. Vegetation fell down wherever she passed. Don't ask her why she brought this cumbersome thing.

The question is, it has the same use as the national seal and the coffin.

Yes, Shen Tang needs it if he wants to enter the Four Poles.

Jimo Qiu revealed that the answer was in Shen Tang's hands, referring to the Investiture of the Gods, which had fallen into her hands a long time ago and looked useless. However, Shen Tang needed to complete some prerequisites to activate it.

Now, she is going to the Gongxi clan’s territory.

|ω`)
Today, when driving down the mountain, I came to a bend with a big blind spot. Xianggu drove on his own lane. The oncoming car whizzed by without even braking, and even took up a little of my lane. Xianggu was so scared that his hair stood on end. I subconsciously stepped on the brakes to the bottom to avoid a collision... It's such a narrow mountain road, why drive so fast?
