"What happened?" Xiao Jinglong glanced at Qin Xuan and Song Xiaokai lightly, and asked in a calm tone.

Song Xiaokai's legs were a little cramping, trembling slightly, and the numb and painful feeling made his lips purse uncomfortably, and his eyebrows furrowed.

At first glance, you can tell that it is the result of kneeling for too long and guiding zhì.

Xiao Jinglong knew this, but he wanted to ask.

He is the emperor, and no matter how heavy and unreasonable the punishment he gives, those who kneel below can only suffer it willingly! Xiao Jinglong thought happily, what's more, he didn't make it difficult for these people too much, right? Just let them kneel and kneel, so they can't stand it? Xiao Jinglong glanced at Song Xiaokai's "weak" small body mockingly, and didn't think about how he fell off the shelf to make it difficult for a mermaid.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, my fiancée is pregnant and can't kneel for a long time."

Qin Xuan handed Song Xiaokai over to Lin Zhi temporarily, bowed to Xiao Jinglong, and said respectfully.

He lowered his eyes and hid the coldness in his eyes—it wasn't the time, he had to endure it.

It's just that his endurance is limited after all, and if Xiao Jinglong continues to attack those people he cares about, and even hurts his children, he doesn't know how long he can endure it.

However, Xiao Jinglong has never been a person with vision, he will only blindly enjoy the pleasure of controlling the life and death of others from above, but he never knew that as an emperor, he also knows how to win people's hearts, and if he is forced to hurry, the most loyal people will make up for him.

The same is true now, after learning that Song Xiaokai was pregnant, Xiao Jinglong did not let him go, but said with a slight accent at the end: "Oh? Is it? I'm pregnant......" Xiao Jinglong stretched out his voice meaningfully, "I haven't heard of the saying that a pregnant husband can't kneel for a long time, in order to show that my reward and punishment are fair, Aiqing, your fiancée should continue to kneel." ”

The back of Qin Xuan's hand suddenly became green, and his eyes became more and more cold, bottomless.

Old Man Qin was also trembling with anger, but his loyalty to the monarch for many years did not make him make any radical words and deeds.

After appreciating the expressions of the Qin clan people who were hesitant, frightened, or angry and did not dare to speak, Xiao Jinglong took a cup of tea handed over by the attendant, took a sip, and asked with a relaxed attitude: "Qin Xuan, do you know why I let the entire Qin family kneel here?" ”

"Minister, I don't know."

"I don't know or don't dare to say?" Xiao Jinglong sneered, "Don't you think you need to explain the news on the interstellar network that you are going to rebel?" ”

"It's still those four words, and those who are clear will clear themselves."

"What if I have to find you guilty, huh?"

"If His Majesty doesn't even come up with evidence to sentence Wechen to death, then Wechen has nothing to say. However, what Weichen wants to remind His Majesty is that if even the Qin family, who has guarded the Mande Empire for more than a thousand years, has to be slaughtered on trumped-up charges, I am afraid that after the Qin family, there will be no loyal ministers. ”

The implication is that Xiao Jinglong's practice of hiding the birds with good bows will only chill more and more ministers.

"Huh." Xiao Jinglong sneered and looked at Qin Xuan gloomily.

Qin Xuan raised his head and looked back calmly, letting everyone present see the openness in his heart.

It is clear which is right and which is wrong.

Xiao Jinglong's psychology of wanting to get rid of the Qin family is very urgent, and there are even some signs of "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone".

But Qin Xuan poked Xiao Jinglong's death hole in one point, that is, his thoughts can be secretly thought, but they can't be completely put on the surface. If he really got rid of the Qin family without any evidence, it would not only chill the ministers, but also cause the anger of the people.

This is also the reason why he has always allowed Qin Xuan's negative news to spread more and more, he must first remove Qin Xuan's glorious image in the hearts of the people, and then it is easy to make the next step.

What he never expected was that Qin Xuan would fake his death, which made him happy in vain.

"Since you've returned, why haven't you reported back to the palace?" Xiao Jinglong thought of another suspicious point, squinted at Qin Xuan, and asked.

"Weichen was seriously injured for a period of time before, and it was inconvenient to go out, until now the injury has healed slightly, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Qin Xuan's tone of reply had always been calm, as calm as if he was making an ordinary statement, not at all like he was dealing with the emperor's difficulties and doubts.

Qin Xuan's attitude made Xiao Jinglong feel bored and bored, like a punch on cotton.

He likes others to be in awe of him, but Qin Xuan has never taken his imperial authority very seriously, at least, Qin Xuan has never shown fear, even if he is kneeling on the ground like he is now.

Because, Qin Xuan has such strength.

The love in Xiao Jinglong's eyes was obviously extinguished, and in the end, he temporarily restrained his thoughts, raised his hand, let Qin Xuan and them stand up, and said: "Find a place to sit down by yourself, I don't have anything else to do today, I just want to see the election of the heir of your Qin family, after all, as the king of a country, I am also very concerned about the future development of a century-old family like you." ”

Xiao Jinglong's word "care" bit very hard, which made the hearts of many people in the Qin family tremble.

Xiao Jinglong's "punishment and kneeling" just now really scared them, they were just a small branch of the Qin family, and they didn't want to die with Qin Xuan, who had offended the emperor.

Most people were thinking in their hearts: Fortunately, the emperor did not intend to question them today, and they escaped in the end.

However, who the heirs of the Qin family need to choose, they almost all have the answer in their hearts - they definitely can't choose Qin Xuan! Didn't you see that he had completely offended the emperor? I'm afraid to choose him is to die together, right?!

This is also the purpose of Xiao Jinglong's coming over today, he is here to express his attitude towards Qin Xuan.

A person like Qin Xuan, who has already been suspected and rejected by the emperor, will not choose him as the future head of the Qin family if he is a little "smart" again, right? It's better to choose a dou than to choose a □□.

Who knows when this □□ will blow up? Right?

What's more, Qin Huan shouldn't be Adou, right? Should...... Bar......

With these thoughts in mind, many people changed their votes and changed the vote for Qin Xuan to vote for Qin Xuan.

Seeing that the proportions on the screen began to gradually widen the distance, Qin Huan's votes rose rapidly, and the corners of Liu Yuchang's lips had a smug smile.

She originally thought that her son was going to miss the position of heir, but she didn't expect such a big reversal.

It seems that even God is on her side, right?

Xiao Jinglong had a deeper consideration - only when the person in charge of the Qin family was not Qin Xuan would he have more hope of removing this hidden danger!

As for why he brought so many ministers to the play, in fact, he also had the purpose of killing chickens and setting an example.

threatens his imperial power, and can only end up like this.

Indeed, in the eyes of those ministers looking at Qin Xuan, there were sympathy, sighs, scrutiny, and schadenfreude.

Of course, there are also people who are really concerned and worried, but they are all very vague and do not let Xiao Jinglong notice it-

Qin Xuan was unaware of other people's expressions, and he didn't even care too much about the numbers beating on the screen, what he cared more about was Song Xiaokai's body, he had just knelt for so long, he was afraid that Song Xiaokai would hurt the roots.

He took Song Xiaokai from his mother's hand and walked to the chair on the side with Song Xiaokai.

"How does it feel? Is it uncomfortable? Qin Xuan frowned slightly and lowered his head and asked.

"Fortunately, just now my mother secretly soothed me with the power of the healing system, and now it's fine." Song Xiaokai patted the back of Qin Xuan's hand and comforted.

"I said a long time ago, you'd better stay in the main mansion and rest today, don't come here."

Qin Xuan guessed that Xiao Jinglong was likely to appear here, so he told Song Xiaokai not to come over in advance.

"The children said, but come and see if they are not at ease~" Song Xiaokai blinked innocently and pointed to his stomach and said.

Qin Xuan rubbed Song Xiaokai's hair helplessly and said, "It's better to say that those two little ghosts like to join in the fun." Luckily, nothing big happened. ”

Old Man Qin coughed dryly, although he also cared about his great-grandchildren, but this husband and wife had just survived a catastrophe and were here, are you and me really okay? I'm not done yet!

The "right thing" that Old Man Qin refers to is naturally the election of the heir.

The numbers on the screen stop again, and they say "Completed".

Looking at the almost 2:1 ratio above, Old Man Qin sighed helplessly-Sure enough, after Xiao Jinglong's stirring like this, did he finally let that unfilial son and his little lover win?

Thinking of Qin Feng's ability to hold up the wall, Old Man Qin had a headache.

Not to mention that he looks down on Qin Huan, a grandson, he has lived for nearly a lifetime, how can Old Man Qin not be able to see what kind of Cheng Cheng Qin Huan's ability has reached, I'm afraid that even Qin Feng is a little stronger than him.

If the Qin family is handed over to Qin Huan in the future, it will really be over......

It's just that the final election results have come out, and it's up to Old Man Qin to change anything-

"Qin Huan stepped forward to listen to the order-" Xiao Jinglong's attendant suddenly chanted.

Qin Huan was slightly stunned, and didn't react for a moment, not knowing why His Majesty would summon him.

Liu Yuchang hurriedly pushed Qin Huan and reprimanded in a low voice: "Go up quickly!" ”

Qin Huan nodded stunnedly, trotted quickly to the main seat where Xiao Jinglong was sitting, and knelt down - halfway, he also stumbled because of nervousness.

"Don't be nervous." Xiao Jinglong bent down and patted him on the shoulder in a good mood, "You are still young, the Qin family will rely on you in the future, and you will definitely make great achievements." ”

"Yes! Be! Thank you! Qin Hua thought that he had been appreciated by Xiao Jinglong, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly.

It turned out that he was not inferior to Qin Xuan's ...... See! Wasn't Qin Xuan's heir position snatched by him!

Qin Huan, who lowered his head, didn't see the disdain and sarcasm in Xiao Jinglong's eyes.

"This light brain is a reward I gave you, to celebrate your acquisition of the position of the heir of the Qin family." Xiao Jinglong clapped his palms, and the attendant handed over a beautifully packaged box, which contained a delicate light brain, which looked like the latest style.

"Thank you!" Qin Huan stared at the light brain tightly, his eyes bulging out greedily.

This light brain, you can't buy it without 50 million interstellar coins!

He felt that he could finally understand why his mother had told him to take the position of heir, and what he had never dared to think of before could now be easily obtained.

The corners of Xiao Jinglong's lips hooked: Sure enough, it's a fool, if it was Qin Xuan, he would definitely not feel so happy about this light brain, and he would even think about how to deal with this light brain.

Because, this light brain was moved by Xiao Jinglong's henchmen, and through this light brain, the Qin family no longer has any secrets. Everything will be copied to Xiao Jinglong.

"Stand down." After Xiao Jinglong achieved his goal, he waved his hand to let Qin Huan return to his seat.

"Yes." Qin Huan carefully held the light brain, as if holding a treasure, and walked to his seat.

When approaching the clansmen, Qin Huan's waist naturally straightened - he was now the heir, who would dare to look down on him!

Qin Huan looked at Qin Xuan like a victorious rooster, but as a result, he only saw Qin Xuan talking to Song Xiaokai in a whisper like a person with nothing to do.

Scold! It must be holding on, right? Loser! Qin Huan thought so, and his eyes fell on Song Xiaokai again.

It's just that face can still be seen, and now that he has become the heir of the Qin family, what kind of beauty should he have?!

Thinking like this, Qin Ju looked away angrily again-

After the successor is chosen, the meeting cannot be dismissed immediately, and there is a reading session.

In this link, the most prestigious and high-status person in the family usually reads out the election results, if Xiao Jinglong does not come, then this job will fall on Old Man Qin.

Now that Xiao Jinglong is here, it is natural for the emperor to announce the result.

In fact, fortunately, there is no need for Old Man Qin to read it, otherwise, I don't know if he can read it or not-one breath is stuck in his throat like this, and he can't go down now.

Didn't you say "no problem"? What now! Old Man Qin glared at Qin Xuan desperately.

Qin Xuan smiled, his expression was calm...... There is also a resoluteness, and relief.

Refuse? Relieved? Old Man Qin felt that he couldn't understand his grandson.

After Xiao Jinglong announced to everyone that Qin Huan would become the future head of the Qin family, Qin Xuan stood up and walked towards the podium in the center of the garden step by step.

Everyone was originally busy saying "congratulations" to Qin Huan, the new heir of the Qin family, but when they saw Qin Xuan's actions, they all quieted down.

This one...... Does Qin Xuan want to express his feelings about losing?

Xiao Jinglong's eyes narrowed—he wanted to know what Qin Xuan was going to do, so he didn't send his attendants to stop him.

In fact, he really wanted to see Qin Xuan's depressed appearance, however, from beginning to end, except for the time when Song Xiaokai's legs cramped and fell, Qin Xuan's face really didn't have any superfluous expressions.

There was no panic, no loss, no anger, just a deep and calm.

Since this is the case, then he wants to hear what Qin Xuan's "stepping down speech" will be.

Qin Xuan walked to the podium and looked around at everyone in the audience with deep black eyes.

There, there were the people he once regarded as a responsibility, the ministers with whom he once wanted to befriend, and the emperor whom he once wanted to be loyal.

Today, however, this qiē can only become "once".

He gave them the opportunity to choose, and this election was the last chance he gave - if he won, then he would continue to be the dutiful heir of the Qin family, and he would find a way to lead the Qin family to glory.

It's just that he not only lost, but also lost to his father's other son for very ridiculous reasons.

The sentence he mentioned in his speech before, "The qiē I made in the Qin family, everyone can see it", is serious. If those clansmen could have carefully considered his words, and could have half of the recognition of the efforts he had made, he would have given those clansmen another chance, and also gave himself a chance.

However, they still made Qin Xuan's heart cold.

Like this Qin family, is there still any need for him to work hard for it? In the entire Qin family, the ones who really cared about him were the old man, his mother, and Steward Qin.

Qin Xuan's heart was churning with all kinds of thoughts, and an answer gradually precipitated.

"I stand here today to announce two things, and after these two things have been announced, you can continue your revelry."

"First of all, I want to announce that I, Qin Xuan, will leave the Qin family from now on and will no longer be a part of the Qin family."

What the?! The Qin family's side suddenly exploded - Qin Xuan is about to break away from the Qin family?! That...... What are the consequences of that?

For the people of the Qin family, Qin Xuan's most valuable thing was not his management ability, but his status in the empire.

Even if Qin Xuan is now riddled with negative news, as Song Xiaokai said, if there is no evidence to prove that those news are true, then it is very likely that they will disappear one day, with Qin Xuan's strength, it will be a matter of minutes and seconds to recover.

Although Qin Hua seems to have been favored by the emperor just now, does he have military merits? Connections? Is it prestigious?

It can be said that the prestige accumulated by Qin Xuan is the fundamental reason why the Qin family can continue to be brilliant in the past.

Those clansmen of the Qin clan seemed to realize in an instant what a huge mistake they had made...... A seemingly irreparable mistake that came down with a hot head!

Qin Xuan didn't seem to think that the power of this bomb was not strong enough, and he continued:

"The second thing is that I would like to ask His Majesty to allow me to resign from my position in the army, and until my negative news has been clarified and the culprit who spread it has apologized to me, I will no longer be involved in the affairs of the Empire."
