In Qi Ziyan's impression, his father was a silent but gentle gentleman. When he was young, he admired his father as a god. As he grew up, it became more and more difficult for him to understand why he was decisive. Benevolence, kindness and kindness can appear in the same person, and they are blended just right.

His father was a benevolent emperor who carried out the New Deal and devoted himself to serving the people. He believed that after a hundred years, his father would definitely be a prominent figure in the history books of Ling Kingdom.

But the father is not happy. Although it seems strange to use such a word to describe an emperor, whether it is happy or not is not important for the superiors. They pay more attention to being strong, but Qi Ziyan cares. He cares that his father often looks Looking at the sky in the distance, he was in a trance like a puppet who had lost his soul. His shrewd and wise father should not have such a desolate expression.

Later, he learned about his father's knot in his heart. Regarding the woman named Ji Mengxian, he saw that woman's ink painting in his father's study. He could only say that among the many paintings he had seen, only hers Brush and ink can amaze him, as if the ink bamboo has been endowed with life, telling endless words.

Everyone knows that there is a third prince who does things his own way in the palace. He doesn't follow common sense and plays cards. He is unrestrained, but the emperor never restrains him, and even indulges him a bit. No one knows what the emperor's intentions are. .

But Qi Ziyan knew it well, because he had clearly expressed to his father that he did not want to get involved in any court disputes, he only wanted to be a handsome prince, and a carefree and carefree prince in the future.Then his father looked at him for a long time and then agreed. For the first time, the father and son sat and chatted together. They were not monarchs and ministers, but father and son.

"Not everyone can be as open-minded as you. Prosperity, wealth, and power are all things that devour people's hearts. I am very happy. At least one of my sons can keep this innocent heart. I envy your courage, and I also love you." I envy your freedom and ease..." This was what his serious and silent father once said to him, and Qi Ziyan has always remembered it in his heart.

He knew that his father's connivance included a little more compensation, because he withdrew from the competition for the crown prince, so he used another way to compensate, maybe it was also a kind of compensation for himself, because he was for that city. The throne gave up many things that he was unwilling to give up.

So the relationship between him and Emperor Ling is more like a father-son relationship, so when he learned of Lu Ming's identity, he was surprised and only understood.

"So that's how it is." This also explained the recent actions of Concubine De and Qi Zijie. Originally, he was still wondering that they seemed to be uneasy these days, but now it seems that he was really the one who had been on the sidelines for too long, and even forgot that they could Apart from the position of the crown prince, there is probably nothing else that caused the conflict.

"Your ability to accept is stronger than I imagined." As the two walked out, Dongfang Ye seemed thoughtful, "I'm still not at ease, I'll go to the prison myself, you go to the queen's side first."

Knowing his worry, Qi Ziyan didn't say much, so he went to the queen's palace alone to see what kind of tricks that annoying mother and son were playing.

In fact, he didn't care who took over the throne at all, but also because he was a bystander, he always felt that his father's wisdom shouldn't value the fifth younger brother so much, and he didn't think the fifth younger brother who was cruel and rude could afford it. The country of Ling.

However, at this time, he has already understood a little bit. It seems that the key problem is Lu Ming, the prince who has been hiding his identity all the time. If Concubine De is targeting him, it means that Concubine De has already regarded him as One of the biggest threats yet.

If that's the case... Qi Ziyan, who was walking quickly, paused, the mess circling in his mind was finally sorted out, he smiled, it seemed that he still underestimated his father.

Just as he was walking quickly to the Queen's Palace, the Queen's bedroom was already full of people in the dark at this time. Many concubines in the harem heard the news and were sitting in the front hall.

"Ms. De Concubine, the empress is like this now..." A nobleman's brows and eyes were full of panic. What happened to King An just happened not long ago. What is the use of a woman.

The queen's bedroom is very large, the empress is in the back hall for treatment, and others are worried in the front hall. At this time, not only the concubines are present, but also several princes and princes, and several princes have already rushed over.

On weekdays, the harem is not allowed to enter at will, but this is also a special moment, so there are not so many rules.

"That's right, now that something has happened to the empress, the concubine has the highest status in the harem, and the empress should give us some advice." Another concubine echoed.

Speaking of concubine De, she was ordered in the face of danger. She rarely appeared in front of people on weekdays. Except for her capable, shrewd and favored son, this empress had never been in the harem competition, so she and Most people's relationship is pretty good. If the power falls into the hands of those concubines who are usually favored and arrogant at this time, it would be better for them to be in the hands of the concubine Defei.

"Sisters don't have to worry, the emperor and empress have their own auspiciousness, and nothing will happen." Concubine De waved her hand to everyone, her indifferent expression slightly corrected, and said, "The most urgent thing is to investigate and deal with the empress as soon as possible. What kind of poison was it? There are so many people at the wedding banquet, how did the villain poison it? And that Dr. Lu, relying on the emperor's usual trust, dared to indiscriminately drug the emperor after he was poisoned, which made the emperor's condition worse ..."

"Dr. Lu is usually trusted by the emperor. Is this a misunderstanding?" Tao Guiren used to be doted on, but after losing a child, his health failed. Now he stays in his palace all day long. Don't go out of the palace. This time, if the emperor didn't have a big incident, she wouldn't go out of the palace.

"I didn't expect Tao Guiren to be in his palace all day, so he still knows the emperor's affairs very well." Naturally, this kind of counterattack does not require Concubine De to take action on her own, anyone around her can counterattack properly.

And at this time, she just needs to play a fair role.

"No matter how much the emperor trusts Dr. Lu, it is a fact that he gave the emperor the wrong disease. My palace has already ordered him to be imprisoned. As for how to deal with it, we will talk about it after the emperor wakes up." With a wave of his hand, he stopped the topic .

"But..." Tao Guiren wanted to say more, but Concubine De cast a cold eye on her, "Why, is a mere Doctor Lu worthy of your nobleman's repeated pleadings? Or is there something wrong between you two?"

"The concubine dare not." Tao Guiren pursed his lips and stopped talking.

After looking around, Concubine De said lightly: "Such a big incident happened in the palace, I'm afraid everyone will know it in an hour. The palace has already asked General Yuchi to enter the palace as soon as possible to protect the safety of the palace. People took the opportunity to create chaos."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Who is General Yuchi? Isn't that the concubine De's natal family, who are also a collateral branch of Ji's family?

At this time, letting a general enter the palace, I'm afraid... it's not a good omen, right?
