The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Chapter 389 Darkest Hour
"Father..." the prince said, "my son still shows his affection, you see..."

The emperor's mood was unclear, so he looked at him intently for a while, then turned and waved to the eunuch, who again took out Zhang Shengzhi and started reciting it.

It turned out that Marquis Zhenyuan wrote a letter saying that he had been seriously injured several times when he was young. Now the old injuries often recur and he is unable to take care of military affairs. The second son, Qi Youduan, served in the Northwest Army for several years. He was loyal and diligent, trained hard with the soldiers, fought on the battlefield, and achieved countless achievements. I now apply to give up the position of Marquis of Zhenyuan to my second son. The emperor agreed. He asked the Marquis to step down on his sixtieth birthday.

There was too much commotion before, so not many people paid attention to this very important matter to the Qi family and related people.

Wen Qian was also in the court, and he was stunned. Master Wen frowned. Instead of conferring the crown prince, he abdicated the throne directly? The water in the Qi family is not shallow! Is this how they recognize Wen Yu? No, I have to ask when I get back.

The first stone in Qi Youduan's heart fell to the ground. Along with the Marquis, he went forward and knelt down to salute and thank him.

Li Qihuan was still kneeling there. The prince accidentally glanced at it and somehow saw: Li Qili and Qi Youduan looked at each other.

This was normal, but the prince is weak in body, but his brain and eyes are not weak. The expressions of those two people...

Thinking about what his son found out, Li Qili seemed to have been to the northwest... They had already hooked up, right?
Qi Youyi was also in the hall, and the people around him all looked at him with strange eyes. There was also a person who was on good terms with him, who was standing next to him. He was so surprised that he quickly pulled him aside and asked anxiously: "Youyi, is this true? Why..."

Qi Youyi, who had a blushing face, was no longer as arrogant and comfortable as when he was yelling at home...

When the matter is done, the officials exit.

Mr. He Ge is not stupid, he has a calm face. On the way, he secretly glanced at Mr. Li Ge, and saw that Mr. Li Ge also frowned slightly, with a confused look on his face... Well, it seemed that he didn't know either.

But Mr. Li Ge thought to himself: Sure enough, life is like a play! My acting was quite good.

Everyone retreated, leaving only the royal family.

The prince's attitude was sincere: "Father, since Li Qihuan has done so many wrong things, I thought it would be better not to grant this title to the prince."

The emperor's attitude was cold: "I didn't demote him to a commoner, but you, the father, will do it instead?"

The prince smiled in embarrassment: "I didn't mean that, but he...you see, the masters who taught him since he was a child are all famous teachers in the world. And you have to teach him personally, and I have taken him with you to teach him by words and deeds. After so many years, To be able to do it like this seems like a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved into stone..."

The emperor interrupted him: "So. I am going to let him enter the study room and let the masters teach him, and he will study hard for two years!"

Li Qihuan lay on the ground. At first, before he fully understood what the emperor meant, he was interrupted by his father. Now I understand that instead of asking myself to learn again, I am actually going to be under house arrest.

This old thing!
Evil thoughts were rolling in my heart, and I wanted to jump up and strangle his neck! But he knew that he couldn't fight against the person in front of him, so he didn't dare to get up, his face turned to the ground, and his body trembled slightly.

The emperor saw this and thought he was afraid.

"Just go in and learn the lessons for two more years. If you learn it and become sensible, I will give you another chance and even reuse you!"

These were the emperor's words to fool the prince and grandson, but Li Qili thought: These words are really not just to fool him! I'm afraid it was a convenient reminder to me that I should stick to my duties and stay out of the circle. Otherwise, the rights he gave can be taken back at any time! Humph, it seems that I was right!
The prince's face was moved, clearly showing weakness: "Father, my son... I am able to accompany you until now, thanks to Huan'er's care for many years. In fact, my son is really working hard... He is still alive. I just don't want my father to care for his son." Sad. My son is the only one I have, and my love is beyond words. We have never been separated from each other since he was born. My son really hopes to see his father every day in his life..."

The prince stood up and knelt down: "Father, please be considerate of your son. My son will hold on until... he will hold on." As soon as he closed his eyes, tears flowed down.

Li Qihuan turned to look at his father, tears overflowing from his eyes, and his heart ached.

The emperor was angry in his heart, and he suppressed it and looked at the prince coldly.

"Li Qihuan, what did you say?" After a while, the emperor turned to look at his grandson. Li Qihuan knew that he should listen to his grandfather. But he couldn't say that if the emperor went down the slope, father and son would never see each other again. My father's body was in a hurry and he had to explain it tonight, so there was nothing surprising.

We can't resist... we can die together!

"Imperial Grandfather, my grandson is incompetent and has betrayed your trust. My grandson would rather be a commoner than stay by his father's side. Grandfather, my grandson takes care of his father personally. Every time he takes medicine, he It takes a long time to coax him. If his grandson is not with him, his grandson will be afraid, his grandson will be afraid..." His voice was choked, and he was hunched over in pain.

The prince looked at him with annoyance: "You silly boy, your royal grandfather is punishing you for not doing your job properly, not paying attention to state affairs, and doing whatever you want. But you have revealed everything yourself..." He shook his head with disgust and smiled bitterly.

The emperor looked at their father and son, then at King Wu and King An, and at the few people nearby. Everyone had expressionless faces and stood solemnly. No one pleads for mercy, no one agrees, and no one objects.

After a change of heart, I realized that this time I acted a little hastily, so it would be better to be more stable. Anyway, they can't make waves!
"Okay. I will let him accompany you! There is no need to shirk the position of county king, it is just a name. The prince and grandson should be demoted to a commoner... Does that sound good? Get up!"

"Thank you, Father!" The prince was obviously relieved, but he couldn't get up from his knees.

Li Qihuan quickly stood up to help, and Li Qili came over to help. Li Qihuan resisted and did not kick him over, but directly blocked him with his body. Li Qihuan stood there with his hands open, looking slightly embarrassed.

The emperor stared at Li Qihuan fiercely, look at your potential!

"Qili stays, you all can go down first!"

Everyone saluted, and the prince came out first. After moving for a while, he was supported by his son and carefully walked down the steps. Under the steps, there is his soft sedan. After all, King An was young, more arrogant, and had relatively few palaces. He followed the prince silently. Seeing this, King Wu also came closer as if casually.

"Brother Emperor, this... this Li Qili, do you know him?" King An couldn't believe it. Although he was not as enlightened as King Wu, he still felt that something was not good.

The prince smiled bitterly: "This is a surprise that our father has prepared for us. How could my brother know about it?" His eyes were all on his son.

Although Li Qihuan was almost demoted to a commoner, he still walked like a grandson. His face was black and smelly, and the two imperial uncles did not give him any face.

"Brother Imperial! Now that things have come to this, you still refuse to tell the truth?" King An became anxious.

The prince's expression became serious: "Ninth brother! On weekdays, you have the emperor's attention and the queen's love, so your life goes smoothly, but don't forget about it! Even if your brother knew about this, what could he do... If I didn't do it, I almost got Qi Huan involved!" The prince was rarely excited.

"Father, there must be deep meaning in what you do, and you and I can't comment on it? For you..." He even glanced at King Wu, "For the sake of your own wealth and life, please be more honest with me! With such a broken body, I managed to get Huan'er back! Come on... Huh! I won't know anything anymore when I close my eyes!"

The prince finally became angry.

King Wu and King An looked at each other in confusion... They have been planning for many years, is it too late for us to be honest now?
After getting in the car, Li Qihuan was worried that the prince was really angry, so he gently stroked his knee: "Father?"

The prince looked at him and smiled: "Dad, everything is fine." He turned his head and said, "Let's see if they are bloody!"

Go back, Qi Wu and Wen Yu are both there. As soon as he got home, his great-grandson started throwing things and roaring loudly. He didn't know what he was yelling about.

Qi Wu tried to persuade him, but his face was also pale.

Wen Yu's heart felt cold: it all came together...

After asking Yibai to play the piano on the terrace, the prince sat cross-legged and followed the method taught by Dr. Huang, taking long and long abdominal breaths to evacuate the bad energy from his heart.

I haven’t written the next chapter yet, so don’t worry.
