In the deserted hall, she also seemed to have a sense. Standing up in the direction of Emperor Qinglong, she stood up and watched silently.

It's just that the night is deep, and there are no stars and no moon. She tried her best to look into the distance, but she couldn't see the difference in this black and oppressive palace building.

However, she was convinced that Emperor Qinglong would definitely come to see her. If nothing else, doesn't he want to know the answers to those things?

As long as she was allowed to see him, she also wanted to question him personally. The person who ruthlessly abandoned her back then, and the person who didn't even allow her to see the last face of the children, was such a hard-hearted person.

Her youth had been frozen in that year, and she also died on that rainy night.

What has supported her until now is nothing more than the hatred in her heart. She wanted to see his confession, and she wanted him to regret giving up on her.

She had a lot to say, but she had been looking forward to it for a long time, and the person she had been thinking about day and night did not appear in front of her.

Next to the deserted hall, Emperor Qinglong retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

He temporarily changed his mind, the two of them have already arrived, what good is it to meet?

Wu Guangqi knew the reason, silently held the wind lantern, and the figures of a master and a servant disappeared into the night.

……

The next day, the sky was gloomy and there was no sunlight. Dark clouds hung in the air like lead, making people's hearts depressed.

The coffin of the crown princess stretched for several miles out of the city and headed for the royal tomb. The regulations of the crown princess are very high, and the funeral is jointly managed by the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion, and there are many honors that should be had.

Sixteen people can carry the Nanmu black lacquer painted coffin in the front, a long funeral procession, men in the front, women in the back.

Wei Jiaren held the tablet with a blank expression and a dead gaze. The crown prince walked among them wearing his wife and filial piety, his eyes were blazing, and he repeatedly rehearsed the scene of meeting Emperor Qinglong after the funeral. I don't care about all this in front of me.

On both sides of the road are the funeral sheds set up by the powerful families who are good friends with the prince's mansion, and they are all in charge of the funeral sheds to light incense.

The whole funeral, in the sky full of white paper money, looked gloomy and deserted.

At the same time, the King of Qi took Fang Xiaoyu and entered the palace from Duanmen to see Emperor Qinglong. He wants to add a fire to the end and make the abolition of the prince a foregone conclusion.

"The child has seen his father. King Qi knelt down and bowed, and Fang Xiaoyu knelt down behind him.

Emperor Qinglong glanced at him lightly, "Flat." ”

Even if he only has one choice left for King Qi now, even if his attitude towards Empress Cao has changed, this weak father-son relationship is still a reality that cannot be changed. He could feel that King Qi's awe of him far exceeded that of Rumu.

"The imperial sister-in-law died, why don't you give her a ride?" asked Emperor Qinglong.

King Qi arched his hand neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The imperial sister-in-law has her own princess to do it for you." The child is here, there is something more important. ”

At his suggestion, Fang Yuyu bowed down and presented the piece of paper and the two pieces of paper.

Wu Guangqi took it and put it on top of the imperial case. Emperor Qinglong only glanced at it, but did not open it to see. Suddenly he said angrily: "Do you want to abolish the prince so much? ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the dragon power he exuded made everyone in the room shudder.

King Qi knelt down and arched his hand and said, "The child is selfish. But the prince has no virtue and no deeds, how can he inherit this great river and mountain?"

He raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Qinglong, and said: "For the sake of the people of the world, the child will fight to make his father angry, and he will also expose the prince's crimes." He is my brother, but in front of the common people, how can I only think of brotherhood?"

This was the first time he had been so tough in front of Emperor Qinglong, so he didn't back down.

Emperor Qinglong stared at his eyes tightly, and only after confirming his determination did he slowly bow his head.

"Well, I want to see what other crimes the prince has that can make you not think of family affection. ”

Opening the chapter, Emperor Qinglong's breathing gradually became rapid. After reading the paper again, his face turned completely dark, and his right hand gently twisted the corner of the paper, silent.

Wu Guangqi's waist bowed lower and lower, he knew that this was a harbinger of Emperor Qinglong's imminent anger. What else did the crown prince do? Can make the emperor angry now?

King Qi was silent, with such evidence, he didn't believe that his father was still indifferent.

"Bang!" Emperor Qinglong clenched his hands into fists and struck on the imperial case, revealing the green tendons on his forehead.

"When did you get this evidence?"

"Father, after Xie Xianling's death, he asked He San to go to Beijing to find He Yushi to seek a way to live. He Yushi was afraid that the prince would find out about this and hurt He San's life, so he hid him in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. ”

"After his father imprisoned the crown prince, He Yushi found the child and told him about it. In the face of Emperor Qinglong's anger, King Qi was not afraid, and explained the reason clearly in a few words.

"As for the bloody case of the medicinal herb merchant in Cishui Village, it was the Ningxing firm that doubled the price after monopolizing the Dendrobium officinalis. made the planting farmers in the village miserable, so they dared to let the village chief take the lead in signing this complaint and vote it to Zhan Shifu. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Qinglong's eyes were grim, and he said, "Sounds like it has nothing to do with you?"

The king of Qi met his gaze and said frankly: "The ancients said that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." The child only happened to know these two things, and the sin that he did not know, and the prince did not know how many of them. ”

He is free today. Since he tore apart the illusion of his brother and brother Gong in front of Emperor Qinglong, he would have to hit him to death.

In addition to the crown prince, those who have become adults and have the qualifications of the prince have only one choice. No matter how much my father doesn't like him, for the sake of the successors of the country, he will punish one or two at most, and he will not move his real character.

This is the best time to strike. It's worth the risk.

Emperor Qinglong's gaze became more and more gloomy, and he sneered: "Okay, I only know today that King Qi is so righteous to kill his relatives. You go back to the house and copy the Heart Sutra a hundred times, and take good care of your temperament. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the house. ”

This is to put King Qi under house arrest.

It is true that the crown prince is wrong, but King Qi fell into the well like this, which made Emperor Qinglong feel cold. If he hadn't had a choice, he wouldn't have let King Qi go lightly.

"Yes!" King Qi arched his hand and said, "The child obeys his father's orders." ”

Out of the imperial study, being blown by the cool breeze, Qi Wangfang felt afraid. But what filled his heart was more of his father's partiality.

The crown prince has done so many wrong things, and Emperor Qinglong still shows mercy to his subordinates. I just told the truth, and I ended up under house arrest.

He strode out, the cool breeze blowing his robe, and his heart became colder and harder.

Fang Xiaoyu followed him silently. Although Emperor Qinglong did not express his position, he knew that the abolition of the crown prince was a foregone conclusion.

In the imperial study, Emperor Qinglong rubbed the corners of his forehead tiredly and asked, "I haven't died yet, so I'm starting to brother Xiao Wall." If I die, won't we see each other in battle?"

Wu Guangqi put his hands on his sleeves, and in this case, Rao is he did not dare to answer easily.

Fortunately, Emperor Qinglong didn't want him to answer, he just wanted to talk.
