Chapter 55: The Secret War

The crown prince was deposed, and the court was in an uproar. The undercurrent surging in the court is like dropping a depth charge. People are talking in private, paying close attention, who will be the next prince?

In the harem, Li Ji was greatly stimulated, crying and scolding, and wanted to settle accounts with Liu Qi.

She never had a chance to see Liu Qi again.

When the edict was issued to abolish the crown prince, the palace where Li Ji lived was sealed at the same time, and she not only lost the expected honor of the queen mother, but also lost her freedom.

In this battle for storage positions, Liu Rong has been out of the original three forces, and only two forces remain: the Liang Wang family and the Jiaodong Wang family.

Jiaodong Wang is very low-key. The core character Liu Yu is just seven years old, and the main task is to play in addition to reading and writing, and the backbone members Liu Yan and Wang Wan are female streamers after all, and they can only show their skills in the harem and are not known to outsiders.

Liu Qitie was determined to protect his son, and before the situation was clear, he was reluctant to push the king of Jiaodong to the forefront.

On the cusp of the storm, only Liu Wu, the king of Liang, jumped up and down!

Liu Rong was deposed, and Liu Wu was overjoyed: It's my turn this time! No wonder the ancients said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds...... The ancients are honest and don't deceive me haha!

Empress Dowager Dou prefers the youngest son, as long as Liu Wu speaks, the old lady has nothing to disobey.

One day, Liu Qi received an invitation from his mother and went to Changle Palace to accompany his mother for dinner.

'It's famous. Liu Qi said secretly in his heart.

Mother and son brothers, you can't help but meet, you always have to face it, and go to see it, and adapt to it.

Because it was a family banquet, according to the etiquette of the family, the Empress Dowager Dou sat at the top, and the brothers Liu Qi and Liu Wu sat on both sides.

When the mother and son began to eat, His Royal Highness's musicians played soothing and melodious music, both to entertain and to mask the sound of the nobles eating.

The Empress Dowager Dou was blind, so she left a personal maid to kneel aside, and from each dish, she picked out a portion and served it to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager Dou wanted to drink, so the maid took the long spoon of wine, scooped the wine from the bronze wine bottle, filled it with the Empress Dowager's wine buds, and then handed it to the Empress Dowager.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Empress Dowager Dou spoke, "Emperor, you once said that you would pass on the throne to your younger brother in the future, haven't you forgotten this?" ”

"I've always remembered this, how could I forget." Liu Qi hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and said perfunctorily.

"That's good! After a hundred years, you entrust the country to the king of Liang. Empress Dowager Dou's tone was kind, but her words were harsh.

Let's make it clear in person today!

Liu Qi was dumbfounded. Back then, I drank a little too much, and I wanted to make my mother happy, so I said something good and obedient casually. I didn't think that my mother and younger brother would hold on to this sentence and force myself to make a clear statement.

Liu Wu looked at his brother with blank eyes.

The atmosphere was awkward.

In order to maintain the image of a filial son, Liu Qi reluctantly replied to his mother: "No! ”

Hearing this word, Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Wu were happy in their hearts, and their faces were suddenly beaming.

Looking at his mother and younger brother, Liu Qi squeezed out a smiling face, accosted and raised the wine buds, and drank them all.

At the end of the banquet, Liu Qi was very unhappy.

Think of a way right away. Liu Qi pondered silently.

Liu Qi did two things.

He came to the Yilan Hall and complained to Mrs. Wang. Liu Qi said this, and the rest of the matter depends on the means of the two women.

Mrs. Wang understood, she immediately informed the princess Liu Yan, and the two women discussed it and decided that Liu Yan would come forward and launch an emotional offensive against the Empress Dowager Dou.

In the previous dynasty, Liu Qi let out a rumor, and the Empress Dowager Dou recommended King Liang to serve as the prince.

Liu Qizai and other ministers formally raised objections. He didn't have to wait long before someone jumped out and bravely acted as a backstabber.

This warrior is Mr. Yuan An, who has been a professional for 20 years.
