Chapter 459

Emperor Ming Qi took Prince Zhuang to the apse, and dismissed all the eunuchs, guards, and maids around him, leaving only him and Prince Zhuang to talk in secret.

As soon as the gate of the apse was closed, Emperor Ming Qi couldn't wait to say:
"Emperor Brother, why are you bothering? You are making me really embarrassed!"

Prince Zhuang was not as respectful as usual at this time, he turned his head and said:
"What is the embarrassment, Brother Huang? In the previous battles, the younger brother was the commander-in-chief. Why not this time?"

Emperor Ming Qi found an excuse and said: "If you are in command and go out to fight, the queen mother will be worried! You have just recovered from your health, how can you take on this important task? Isn't this going to poke my spine and say that I am mean and have no relatives? "

"There are only two elder brothers and younger brothers here, why bother to find such an excuse?" Prince Zhuang completely tore off this layer of fig leaf, but it made Emperor Ming Qi feel helpless, his face was stunned, with a bit of reprimand Meaning said:
"Hand over the military power, and I will protect your glory for the rest of your life. Why bother to compete with me?"

Prince Zhuang sighed, without dodging his eyes at all, he untied a bag from his waist, carried the bottom of the bag and fell down, all kinds of odds and ends scattered all over the floor, including Ye Yunshui and Qin Murong who gave him The poisonous tea that Qin Zhongyue wanted to give to Prince Zhuang...

Emperor Ming Qi frowned when he saw these objects, Prince Zhuang did not show any shame, and said directly to Emperor Ming Qi:
"I've been a soldier all my life, and the only prince of the Great Moon Kingdom. I'm really tired of those intrigues and intrigues. I've had enough, and I really can't stand this crime! I would rather die in battle than be tortured alive. Enclosed in the nest, dead so useless, wouldn't it mean that you can't close your eyes even if you die!"

When Prince Zhuang said this, it made Emperor Ming Qi feel like his throat was throbbing, and he couldn't even utter a word!
I would rather die on the battlefield than be circled to death alive. I don’t want to die as a coward. Although there is not even a word of criticism in these words, it is like a knife directly stabbing at the most fragile and still existing part of Emperor Ming Qi’s heart. Above conscience!

There is no need to mention those objects, Emperor Ming Qi knew what they were, his lips trembled, and it took a long time for Emperor Ming Qi to say this sentence: "Imperial brother, I... I am sorry for you!"

"What's wrong with me?" Prince Zhuang was a little more stubborn,

"I have the honor and status I have today, and it is also a gift from the emperor, and I should sell this life for the emperor, so I hope that the emperor can fulfill the wishes of the younger brother... I don't know the emperor, but that share lies in my heart." In a room with four walls like disciples, it's like letting the younger brother live in the coffin, the feeling of waiting to die is really uncomfortable!"

After saying this, Prince Zhuang seemed to be deeply moved. He raised his head and sighed, smiled wryly and shook his head. Only his heart could know the bitterness and pain. In the life of a soldier and horse, there is always the glory of death, the glory of death, how can a coward die willingly ?
Emperor Ming Qi's eyes showed shame, he stood on the ground in a daze, not knowing what to say, Prince Zhuang turned around, and continued to say: "Brother Emperor, please allow it!"

"My mother... my mother will really blame me..." Emperor Ming Qi still didn't utter his mouth, but at this time, he said this again, but it was the truth in his heart...

Although Prince Zhuang saw this guilt in his eyes, he didn't take it deep into his heart, because this guilt was like a flash in the pan, and in the face of interests, it would eventually fade away and disappear!
"Empress mother, there is still the emperor's filial piety, the younger brother is naturally not so blessed, the younger brother does not feel guilty, but the younger brother still has conditions!" As soon as Prince Zhuang's words came out, Emperor Ming Qi felt quite helpless. He covered his chest and said generously: "Zhen, I will definitely agree to everything!"

Emperor Ming Qi and Prince Zhuang had a secret conversation in the back hall for an hour.

The people in the main hall couldn't wait, and everyone was like ants on a hot pot.

As soon as the gate of the main hall was closed, the people in the middle hall and the outer hall were even more flustered. Such a scene suddenly appeared at the palace banquet of Emperor Ming Qi's [-]th birthday?This is so eye-popping that I can't believe it!
No one dared to step forward to ask what happened, it was still a small group of two or three gathering together to chat and chat, beautiful dancers danced and sang and sang at the palace banquet, but no one was interested in watching...

In the nave, Shen Wuming and Qi Shan are pouring a cup for you and a cup for me, without even mentioning why the gate is closed, the rest of the people are bustling around whispering, it didn't take much time, there was one or three Waiting Bo came forward and asked Qi Shan in a low voice: "Master, do you know what happened there? It's unusual to close the main hall gate at this time!"

Qi Shan looked up at him and said, "You know?"

"I don't know why I came to ask you!" The third uncle moved forward again in a helpless manner, whispering softly, "Just now the emperor called the three generals Qi, Ling, and Zhong into the palace. Just now the guard came to report the battle report?"

Qi Shan narrowed his peach eyes, and replied: "So that's why, Uncle is really quick-witted, if you don't tell me, I don't know yet!"

The third uncle was choked for a while, but he laughed at himself and walked away.

Shen Wuming glanced at the man's back, and said with a sneer, "Grandpa, it's not brave to see what is righteous and not do it! But you didn't help him solve his doubts? You shouldn't!"

"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. If you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. It's better to stay away from you, kid, and let you get into some bad habits some other day. This is not a good thing!" Qi Shan said, wanting to Turning around and changing seats, Shen Wuming grabbed him, "Then you are sarcastic about me? Even though you have a higher title than me, you can't be so sarcastic!"

"Sarcasm for you? So what?" Qi Shan said, but Shen Wuming was helpless, "I finally know why you and the second brother are so good, they both speak with the same accent!" Having said that, Shen Wuming's eyes became ambiguous, and he added, "Even the woman I like..."

"Shut up!" Qi Shan's face darkened, everyone around him knew that he admired Ye Yunshui, but even if everyone knew it, the window paper couldn't be pierced, otherwise how would he get along with Qin Murong?How to get along with Ye Yunshui?
Even if you can't depend on her for a lifetime, even if you know each other for a lifetime, it's still a wish...

Knowing what Qi Shan was thinking, Shen Wuming just smiled and stopped talking.

Just at this time, a small eunuch came in a hurry, but he was not the one serving in the Yong'an Palace. He was holding a token in his hand, and after going through multiple inspections by the guards, he walked behind Qi Shan and replied in a low voice: "My lord , The Empress Dowager invites you to go to the Anhe Palace."

Shen Wuming was startled, and couldn't help looking at Qi Shan, obviously wondering what the Queen Mother asked him to do at this time?
There was no look of surprise on Qi Shan's face, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Wuming, Shen Wuming knew that his eyes were forbidden, so he nodded, turned his head to chat with other people about drinking, Qi Shan didn't stop, and got up directly Follow the little eunuch towards the Anhe Palace...

In the main hall, everyone waited helplessly, becoming less calm and looking towards the back hall from time to time.

Ye Yunshui was coaxing Doudou in her arms, her arms were already sore, so she had to put the little Doudou on her lap... She raised her head and glanced at Qin Murong who was in front of her. Like weeds, but Ye Yunshui could also see that his heart was becoming more and more uneasy.

Qin Mujin was like a grasshopper on the hot pot at the moment. She came to ask Qin Murong several times, but Qin Murong told him to wait at ease. Pull Qin Mujin to comfort her in a low voice.

The queen was still sitting on the phoenix seat, and Qin Zhongyue didn't have anything to say to comfort her. It was impossible for the private conversation between mother and son to be known in front of everyone.

Su Jun Wang and Lu Jun Wang and others still sat on the lower side, not saying a word, and glanced at the back hall from time to time, but they didn't dare to go too far, lest the phoenix seat would be so angry that they would look for them The shortcoming is used to vent your anger...

Concubine Wen Gui was sitting on the seat and sleeping, but her eyelashes moved up and down from time to time, obviously not really squinting.

About an hour and a half later, there was a sound at the door of the apse, and everyone's eyes were on that side. Emperor Ming Qi and Prince Zhuang walked out of the apse one after another, both of them were shocked. With a smile on his face, it seemed that there was no such dispute at all.

The corners of the mouths of all the people waiting in the main hall couldn't help twitching... These two people came out with a smile on their face while they were in a hurry. Don't you think they are fools?
Everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out. The crown prince Qin Zhongyue hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "Father and uncle are about to take their seats. The palace banquet has already started for a while, and everyone outside the door is waiting to pay respects to Father's birthday." Kowtow, Royal Father can't make everyone wait too long for this kindness!"

This compliment is only dared to say it after looking at the smiling face of Emperor Ming Qi...

Emperor Ming Qi turned around to look at Prince Zhuang, ordered the eunuch, and said: "Set up your seats again, my brother will sit with me!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
The queen's blood-stained eyeballs almost popped out, let Prince Zhuang sit at the same table with Emperor Ming Qi?Although they are brothers, they have never been seated so regardless of rank. What are these two talking about secretly in the apse?Will there be such a big change?
Moreover, in these words, the four words "brother and I" obviously put Prince Zhuang first, which is really unbelievable. Emperor Ming Qi is the person who values ​​etiquette and status the most, but now there is such a In other words, how can this not make people jump in fear?
Not only the empress was shocked, Qin Zhongyue also seemed to be dumbfounded, and those county kings even blinked their eyes and looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe it was true!

Qin Murong raised his eyes to look at Prince Zhuang, and then sighed, not feeling relieved, but feeling depressed.

Ye Yunshui came forward quietly at this time, Qin Murong took her small hand with his big hand, and hugged Doudou from her arms to himself. The two looked at each other and didn't say much, but they both knew that Emperor Ming Qi's actions should be Zhuang It's decided that the prince wants to go on an expedition!
