Inside the Funing Palace.

Emperor Yuanyou's expression was gloomy, his eyes were full of rage, and he stared coldly at King Qi kneeling in front of him: "Third child, did you secretly instruct Mo Langzhong to poison him in prison?"

King Qi's face was full of grievances: "Father, the son has never done this. Mo Langzhong did have some dealings with his sons, and he had a good personal relationship. But that's about it. What he did in private, his sons didn't know. ”

I don't know about it!

Emperor Yuanyou sneered: "Mo Langzhong and Gu Shilang have no grievances, why do you risk your life to murder Gu Shilang?

King Qi was full of grievances.

He did something else. However, he was not crazy enough to poison Gu Hai.

is just a head of the Yuan, with a low official position, and there is no effective family support behind him. If you die, you will die, and the so-called strict investigation by the Criminal Department is also thunder and rain.

Gu Hai is a member of the Gu family, who holds a third-grade official position, and has extremely broad connections in the DPRK. and the Prince's Mansion, Pingxibo's Mansion, the Fang family, and the Cui family are all in-laws, and they help each other in the court, and they are by no means easy to match. Dingbei Marquis Gu Song, who guarded the border pass, although he was not in the capital thousands of miles away, he could never be ignored by anyone. The influence of the Gu family in the army is also very comparable.

Such a hard bone, he, a dignified Qi king, didn't dare to say that he could gnaw it lightly. made two moves in a row, just to suppress the limelight of the Gu family, trap Gu Hai and involve the grandson by the way.

Who would have thought that Gu Hai would have an accident in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Where did Mo Langzhong have the courage to make a move against Gu Hai?

There must be a conspiracy behind this!

King Qi's mind quickly turned, and he opened his mouth to argue: "Gu Hai is the brother-in-law of Erchen, although Erchen is a little estranged from the Gu family, he will not do such a poisonous hand to him. Someone must have deliberately framed Erchen. ”

Emperor Yuanyou continued to sneer: "You can talk about it." Who has the ability to frame you?"

Who else could there be?

King Qi blurted out: "It must have been done by the grandson!"

As soon as the words came out, they knew that something was wrong.

Sure enough, I saw Emperor Yuanyou's expression turned cold: "Ah Xu has been staying in the palace for a few days, and he has hardly left me for half a step. ”

He was still in the Qi Palace, and he didn't go out for half a step. Didn't you destroy the Yuan family in the same way!

King Qi was slandered in his heart, and naturally he didn't dare to say this: "There are no outsiders here, and the sons and daughters have the courage to say a few words to their father." ”

"Now the call for the establishment of a prince in the DPRK is extremely high. Erchen is Taisun's most powerful opponent, and it is reasonable for Taisun to use tactics to deal with Erchen. As long as the father and emperor are suspicious of his son, the grandson will have no opponents. It is also reasonable for him to frame his sons. ”

Emperor Yuanyou was not moved by these words, and said coldly: "According to what you say, Gu Hai was impeached and imprisoned, and it is possible that you did it all by yourself. As long as something happens to Gu Hai, Ah Xu will be implicated. Don't you have no opponents?"

On a hot day, King Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

However, at this moment, he could not afford to hesitate at all.

King Qi immediately replied loudly: "How dare Erchen do such a thing that damages the amount. The father must not listen to the villain's slander and misunderstand his sons. ”

Is it really a misunderstanding?

Emperor Yuanyou glanced at King Qi deeply, and suddenly felt tired all over. The voice also deepened: "Who is right and wrong, true and false, I am not blind or deaf, and I have my own judgment in my heart." ”

A dark cloud suddenly enveloped King Qi's heart.

King Qi's heart beat fast inexplicably, his throat was a little dry, and he wanted to say something, but Emperor Yuanyou's voice was already ringing in his ears.

"Third child, I know what you're thinking. ”

"Back then, I wanted to make you the prince. But since the founding of the Great Qin, it has followed the rule that there are descendants and no grandchildren. Although I am the Son of Heaven, I can't act according to my preferences. Therefore, I can only make your second brother the prince. I also feel indebted to you in my heart, and I specially chose the best fief for you. Let you leave your son in the capital. I don't know about your dealings with the courtiers, and I don't ask about them. ”

"Over the years, you have had a lot of grievances in your heart. I have always felt that the prince is not as good as you, and the position of the prince should be yours. As soon as the prince dies, you are happier than anyone else. ”

"You didn't expect that I wanted the eldest grandson, not you. ”

King Qi's heart beat rapidly, his ears rang, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Yuanyou: "Father, you ......"

Emperor Yuanyou restrained all his expressions and said coldly: "I have made up my mind to make the eldest grandson the prince." Tomorrow will be decreed. ”

It was like a thunderclap, and when he was caught off guard, King Qi was blown up and his brain was buzzing, his limbs were cold, his heart was like ice, and there was no trace of temperature.

"Everything ends here. Emperor Yuanyou didn't look at King Qi's instantly pale face, and said coldly: "I don't want to see anyone in the court arguing about the establishment of the prince. I don't want to see my courtiers being treated as chess pieces, being used and abandoned. ”

"Go back to your house and think about what I've said. ”

……

King Qi didn't know how he got back to the Qi Palace.

He stiffened and stiffened as he walked to his study.

Princess Qi's anxious face flashed in front of her eyes, her lips closed one by one, and she didn't know what she was saying.

King Qi strode into the study, slammed the door of the study, shut Princess Qi out, and blocked all the disturbances out of the door.

King Qi sat behind his desk for a long time. Finally, there was an earth-shattering roar.

With all his might, he kicked the wide, heavy desk to the ground with a loud thud. Everything on the table fell to the ground, and pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books were scattered all over the floor.

He drew the long knife at his waist and slashed hard, cutting the wooden chair in two, slashing the precious and sturdy bookshelf to the ground, and slicing everything in front of him in two.

Why?!

He has endured and planned for many years, why did he still lose?

The father kept saying that he valued his son the most, and it was all fake! All of them were fake! Otherwise, how could he be so cruel to him! Give him hope, and ruthlessly deprive him of it?

Resentment is not willing to stir in the chest. It was as if there was a beast that had been raised for many years, ready to move in its heart, screaming to break through its chest, to tear everyone apart, to destroy everything in sight.

King Qi's eyes were red, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a hideous and distorted arc, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

Princess Qi, who was guarding outside the study, trembled all over her body when she heard it, and her beautiful face, which still had charm, was also pale and colorless at this time, and her eyes were full of fear.

King Qi has never been out of shape like this!

What made King Qi so crazy?
