Chapter 612: Seeing Each Other in Secret
"Eighth prince, oh no, you are now the lord of the Western Qi Kingdom." Qi Fangfei looked at Chu Yuze with a smirk, "I don't know what the Emperor of Chu is doing when he comes to our Beiming Kingdom this time?" β
Chu Yuze looked at Qi Fangfei with a smile, the greedy desire in her eyes was so obvious, Chu Yuze knew too well what this kind of woman needed, just like Yu Xinya at the beginning, she would do whatever it took to achieve her goals.
"Miss Qi, no, you are now the eldest princess of Beiming Kingdom, and sure enough, after a short time, we are no longer the same as we were at the beginning." Chu Yuze cleverly bypassed the topic.
Qi Fangfei saw Chu Yuze's purpose, and did not stubbornly continue to ask, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, letting the embarrassing atmosphere dissipate slightly before saying with a smile: "How long does the Emperor of Chu plan to stay in Beiming Kingdom this time, do you want me to let someone take you around for a while." β
"No, after all, it's not my first time here, am I?" Chu Yuze smiled faintly and declined Qi Fangfei's kindness.
Seeing Chu Yuze's repeated rejection of himself, the smile on Qi Fangfei's face was a little unbearable, and she said unhappily: "It seems that Emperor Chu has been prepared for coming to Beiming Kingdom this time, it seems that I don't have to be sentimental." β
"How so?" Chu Yuze always smiled faintly, "I still have something to ask the eldest princess for help when I came here." β
Qi Fangfei sneered, and said with some mockery: "You are the emperor, you still have something to ask me for help?" β
"I know your husband is unconscious now, and I have a way to wake him up." Chu Yuze had been watching Qi Fangfei's performance, and saw that her eyes flickered slightly when she heard her mention Xuanyuan Che, and sneered in her heart, and asked mockingly, "Maybe you don't want him to wake up at all." β
The last sentence made Qi Fangfei's expression stiffen, a hypocritical smile froze on her face, and she said a little far-fetched: "How come, he is my husband, of course I hope he can wake up." β
Chu Yuze smiled coldly, he didn't care about Qi Fangfei's answer at all, this time he would secretly come to Beiming Kingdom to naturally have important things to do, but he wouldn't tell Qi Fangfei.
Chu Yuze glanced at the entourage, and the entourage immediately took out two small bottles and put them in front of Qi Fangfei, seeing Qi Fangfei looking at him puzzled, Chu Yuze said expressionlessly: "There is a bottle of medicine here that can make your husband wake up, and the other bottle is a medicine that can make him never wake up, it depends on you how you choose." β
"What do you mean?" Qi Fangfei looked at the two bottles of medicine coldly, and she didn't understand Chu Yuze's purpose.
Chu Yuze pushed the two bottles of medicine in front of Qi Fangfei, and said lightly: "These two bottles of medicine are given, but they are not given to you for free, I need your help." β
Qi Fangfei didn't accept the two bottles of medicine, looked at Chu Yuze vigilantly, and asked coldly, "How do you want me to help you?" β
"Help me bring a message to my sister, it is Chu Wanwan, who lives in the Three Princes' Mansion, and tell her that I have come to Beiming Kingdom." Chu Yuze said calmly, seeing Qi Fangfei's skeptical gaze, he asked with a smile, "Do you think it's too easy for me to ask you for help?" β
"Yes!" Qi Fangfei didn't deny it, nodded and said, "If you're looking for your sister, why do you want me to pass on the word?" β
"The eldest princess is so smart, how can she not understand such a reason." Chu Yuze said with a sarcastic smile: "Now the Third Prince's Mansion must be being monitored, if I suddenly feel unwell and expose my whereabouts, I also hope that the eldest princess can help me walk and pass a word." β
"Really?" Listening to Chu Yuze's impeccable reason, even if there were any doubts in his heart, they slowly disappeared in Chu Yuze's sincere gaze, "Naturally, there is no problem with helping you pass the word, but now there are other problems." β
"What's the problem?" Chu Yuze looked at Qi Fangfei unhappily, thinking that she was deliberately trying to make things difficult for herself, and her face sank.
"I heard that the third prince left the capital with your sister Chu and went to other places to pick up the third prince's mother and concubine back to the palace, so I can't meet them now." Qi Fangfei snorted lightly and said.
"She's not in the capital?" Chu Yuze looked at Qi Fangfei suspiciously, seeing her calm expression, he guessed that she should not dare to deceive herself, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will stay in the capital for the time being, waiting for her to come back." β
Qi Fangfei didn't say anything more, stood up with a smile and looked at the two bottles of medicine on the table hesitantly, thinking about whether to bring them over.
"Take it, even if it's a gift I brought to you this time in Beiming Kingdom." Chu Yuze watched Qi Fangfei leave with the two bottles of medicine, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Qi Fangfei, who returned to the mansion of the eldest prince, kept looking at the two bottles of medicine in front of her, hesitating how to choose, Xuanyuan Che's situation at this time was no different from that of a dead man, even if he didn't want his life, it was just to let him take a breath, but every time he saw him lying on the bed unconscious, Qi Fangfei derived a wave of disgust from the bottom of her heart, looking at this man who ruined his innocence, many times only two people were alone, Qi Fangfei had the urge to kill him, but now that she had this opportunity, she became hesitant again.
"The Great Princess, the Great Princess." The anxious voice of the slave in the house sounded outside the door, and before Qi Fangfei could agree, the slave ran in in a panic.
Fortunately, Qi Fangfei's eyes were quick, and she put away the two bottles of medicine on the table the moment the slave rushed in, stood up angrily and looked at the slave and asked, "Are you in a hurry that the house is on fire?" It's not that if I don't care about you for a few days, you will have no rules. β
"The eldest princess is angry, the emperor, the queen is here." The servant stammered, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he kept wiping the beads of sweat with his sleeve.
"What? The queen is coming? Qi Fangfei's face was also pale with fright, and she looked out, although she didn't know the purpose of the queen's sudden visit, but she knew that the queen must be not good.
Seeing that the queen was about to come in, Qi Fangfei didn't think about it, and hurriedly ran out to greet her, and sure enough, she saw the queen walking in under the support of a group of people.
"Say hello to the Queen." Qi Fangfei wanted to say goodbye calmly, but as soon as she faced the queen, her calm and self-control was gone, and the queen's momentum of not being angry made Qi Fangfei feel afraid.
"Get up." The queen watched Qi Fangfei get up and said coldly: "Today I brought the four princes to visit the eldest prince." After the fourth prince returned to the palace, he was very worried when he heard about the eldest prince, so the palace came. β
"Yes!" Qi Fangfei glanced at Xuanyuan Qi secretly, and the person in his impression was completely arguing, and those days outside had worn away his aristocratic temperament, and he looked like an ordinary man at this time.
"The Great Princess." Xuanyuan Qi politely nodded slightly with Qi Fangfei, and said with a worried face: "I have been worried in my heart since I heard about the eldest brother, so I will come to disturb today." β
"The fourth prince is polite, please come inside." Qi Fangfei responded vainly and walked into Xuanyuan Che's courtyard with the queen and Xuanyuan Qi.
"Brother Emperor, I've come to visit you." Looking at Xuanyuan Che, who was lying on the bed unconscious, Xuanyuan Qi's tears immediately welled up, and he sat on the edge of the bed and took Xuanyuan Che's hand and said in a choked voice: "I didn't expect so many things to happen in these days when I left the capital. When I left, you secretly came to see me and asked me to wait for you to take me back to the palace, but now that I am back in the palace, you have become like this. β
"Great Prince, did you hear that? Your brother told you to wake up quickly. The queen stood aside and secretly wiped away her tears.
Qi Fangfei looked at the queen and Xuanyuan Qi sadly in front of her expressionlessly, she didn't feel any sadness in her heart, but looked at them and felt that they were very hypocritical.
"Queen Mother, Fourth Prince, don't be too sad, your husband will definitely wake up." In order to match such an atmosphere, Qi Fangfei also pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The queen nodded and wanted to walk out of the inner room, and then Qi Fangfei and the fourth prince also walked out. At this time, the queen had completely sorted out her mood, and her expression returned to an expressionless appearance again.
"How is the situation of the eldest prince, hasn't there been any improvement?" The queen looked at Qi Fangfei sharply, and hated her very much from the bottom of her heart, if it weren't for her, Xuanyuan Che would not have become like this at this time, so the queen blamed all her resentment on her head.
"Yes, my husband has not seen any improvement, and the imperial doctor has come to see him many times, but he is helpless." Qi Fangfei responded calmly.
The queen took a heavy breath, glanced at the four princes behind Qi Fangfei, and said coldly: "Qi'er, you go out and wait for me first, I still have something to explain to the eldest princess." β
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Qi's gaze wandered between the two of them for a moment, nodded and walked out.
As soon as Xuanyuan Qi walked out, as soon as the door of the house was closed, the queen slapped Qi Fangfei hard, and the corners of Qi Fangfei's mouth immediately flowed blood.
"Mother, mother!" Qi Fangfei endured the burning pain on her face, and looked at the queen with horror on her face.
"Shut up, you don't have the right to call me." The queen stopped Qi Fangfei angrily, thinking of what she had done, she couldn't forgive, "Don't think I don't know what you think in your heart, you think you can bring down me and the eldest prince, you are too naΓ―ve, it is not unreasonable for this palace to survive in this harem for decades, you want to fight with me, and you are a little immature." β
"Queen Mother, you misunderstood me, I never had that kind of disrespectful thoughts." Qi Fangfei was eager to explain, but was stopped by the queen reaching out.
"Don't talk about that nonsense, I warn you, take good care of the eldest prince, if he has any strengths and weaknesses, I will definitely not let you go!" The queen warned Qi Fangfei ruthlessly, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your father, it is not so easy for him to sit in the position of prime minister today, you don't want to see your father lose everything when he is old." β
"Mother, you can't do that." Qi Fangfei looked at the queen excitedly, "My father has dedicated his life to the court, if he loses everything, it will be equivalent to his life, Queen Mother, I beg you, don't hurt my father!" Qi Fangfei knelt on the ground and begged the queen.
"How your father is, it's up to you how you do it." The queen looked at Qi Fangfei coldly, "Remember my words and take good care of the eldest prince." After speaking, the queen didn't even look at Qi Fangfei, pushed open the door and walked out.
"I'm not going to just throw in the towel." Qi Fangfei sat on the ground, her hands clenched tightly into fists, whether it was the queen's slap or her warning, Qi Fangfei condensed into hatred in her heart, and she looked at the direction of the queen's departure with hateful eyes.
