Chapter 233: Twelve Hours
Qi Yuan and Yin Qingqi had a big fight.
Qi Yuan couldn't control his emotions at all, as if any news about Yin Qingqi could directly make Qi Yuan angry and out of control.
Is it really as Huang Ama said, Yin Qingqi is his weakness?
Qi Yuan shook his head, he was a person who was always unwilling to admit his weakness. Moreover, as the future king of a country, he must not shake his mind because of a woman.
Fortunately, Yin Qingqi is not the kind of woman who brings disaster to the country and the people, Qi Yuan thought about it self-deprecatingly.
After coming out of Qingmu Palace, Qi Yuan has been staying in Jinghong Tower.
And the new owner of Jinghong Building is Ding Yufu.
In the past few days, Qi Yuan has also secretly observed the people in Jinghong Tower, and he has not found anything wrong, they are all doing things in a proper manner, perhaps because he is here.
And as the business of Jinghong Building increased, Qi Yuan also noticed that some people with unknown expressions were slowly sneaking in.
This also made Qi Yuan a little wary, after all, it was originally a very dangerous thing to go out of the palace to investigate, not to mention the sixth elder brother, just one Dong Yu was enough to drink a pot by himself, if something really happened, Xue Tan and Chang Lei were not around, he didn't even have a helper, and his two fists were hard to beat.
When the old man came here, it really surprised Qi Yuan, sure enough, this old man is not an ordinary person, although he said that Xue Tan returned to Beijing last time, he never found Xue Tan's movement, and even asked people to go to Xue Mansion to inquire, but he didn't hear any news, as if the world had evaporated.
And Shuzhou is too far away, and he can't find out the news over there, and he doesn't know if Xue Tan really went there to take office.
But Qi Yuan still decided to go to the meeting with the old man in front of him, maybe he could get some news.
"Invite him to my room." Qi Yuan looked at it coldly and ordered a little maid to go and lure the old man over.
"Sir, don't come unharmed." Qi Yuanpi didn't smile, for this kind of person, you must be vigilant, otherwise it is easy to be caught up.
"Hehe, prince, the old slave is here to say hello to you." The old man made a half-bow movement and was helped up by Qi Yuan in time.
"Sir, don't be polite." Qi Yuan glanced at it, and the old man did still have that jade pendant on him.
"I don't know what the old man is doing when he came to me today?"
"Coming to you?" The old man smiled, "I'm not here to find you, I'm here to eat flower wine." ”
"Eat flower wine?" Qi Yuan was also amused by the old man's joke. "Old man, this is not a joke, you are so old, can you still eat the flower wine here?"
"The layout and location are good." The old man didn't take his words, but just looked out quietly.
Looking through the window, the street outside can be seen at a glance, and Jinghong Tower is also located in the center of the entire capital, and it is also the most densely populated place.
"It's just that there's something missing." The old man shook his head and sighed. "It's a pity, it's a pity."
"What a pity?" Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes with interest, it seemed that there was something in the old man's words.
"It's a pity that such a good resource." The old man smiled with a mysterious look.
"Are you the sixth elder brother?" Qi Yuan still kept smiling, but the killing intent on his body couldn't be hidden.
"Young man, don't be in such a hurry, how can you be so tempting?" The old man shook his head, "You're just too anxious to compare to your younger brother." ”
"Oh?" Sixth Elder Brother, he is not as good as Sixth Elder Brother, but he is still the future heir.
"Don't be angry when I speak, just talk about things, the sixth elder brother's city and scheming are indeed very few people can compare, even the emperor, I'm afraid it's a little worse."
"Your Majesty?" Qi Yuan's face changed suddenly, "Could it be that you still have a relationship with my Emperor Ama?" ”
"Of course, the twelve hours were originally the masterpiece of your emperor Amma." The old man smiled, "But at this point, you are really similar to your Emperor Amma, and you have come up with something shocking, but there is still no sixth elder brother to do." ”
"Sixth Elder Brother, Sixth Elder Brother." Qi Yuan finally couldn't hold his breath and was a little annoyed, "You have a sixth elder brother, could it be that you are his person?" Don't think I dare kill you, old man. ”
"The old slave is not the sixth elder brother's person, I am the emperor's person." There was a hint of cunning in the old man's eyes, "Before the emperor fell ill, he explained to the old slave, and after he became delirious, he would find an opportunity to help you secretly." ”
"Help me secretly?" Qi Yuan didn't expect that Huang Ama was also observing his every move.
Since everything the sixth elder brother does is monitored, it seems that there are also a lot of undercover agents around him.
"And what exactly is the 'twelve hours' in your mouth?"
"Oh, that." The old man shook his head, "That's a losing fight. ”
"The original intention of creating this was not for you, at that time, you were just a child." The old man's face sank, and he slowly recalled the past, "Twelve o'clock, refers to the time of the day, there are people who supervise the violation of the law and discipline of the people in the palace at any time, and it was the idea of the queen mother back then. ”
"Queen? Isn't that my emperor's mother? Qi Yuan looked at him in surprise.
"That's right, it's indeed her, but then this matter gradually became known to the emperor."
"The original intention of the queen mother was originally to monitor the concubines in the harem, I think you have also seen it, after losing this organization, what has become of the harem now, the concubine Niangniang actually got together with the sixth elder brother, it is really shameless."
Qi Yuan frowned, he didn't expect that he even knew about it.
"Of course I do." The old man seemed to see Qi Yuan's thoughts, "However, not now, the news is becoming more and more ill-informed, and besides, my body is also old, I'm afraid I don't have much time to live." ”
"You don't have a successor?" Qi Yuan stared at the old man, such an organization, no matter when, will exist, as long as there is a place of struggle, there will be people like them.
"Yes." The old man said bluntly, "However, it's not my person, it's the sixth elder brother, and I'm just responsible for cultivating talents for it." ”
"Since you know that Huang Ama asked you to help me, why do you secretly help the sixth elder brother?" Qi Yuan's eyes were dark, and he looked at the old man coldly.
"Of course, the emperor's order cannot be violated, but this is indeed an edict issued before the emperor is critically ill."
"Huang Ama still looked for you after he got sick?" Qi Yuan couldn't believe that at the last moment, he was seeing a stranger.
"The relationship between the emperor and the queen is extremely close, and the establishment of twelve hours was originally regarded as the emperor's intention, the harem at that time was too chaotic, men and women were extravagant, what kind of system."
"And the emperor has no way to publicly let people monitor whether there is a mother secretly Chen Cang, so he conspired with the queen mother and came up with such a way, even if there are some excesses later, he will open one eye and close one eye."
