Chapter 713: Assassination (2)

The sixth prince, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up, sat up straight suddenly, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.

He Qi, who had originally closed his eyes to recuperate, immediately opened his eyes, got up and went to the bed: "What's wrong with Your Highness?" ”

The six princes' eye sockets were deep-set, his handsome face was thin and haggard, and his voice was hoarse: "I suddenly had a nightmare just now, the queen mother walked in front, and I chased behind." ”

The queen mother stepped on the air and suddenly fell. I was horrified and rushed forward to save my mother. but fell into the abyss with the queen mother. ”

This dream is so real and terrifying.

Thinking of the fear of falling into the abyss suddenly, the six princes breathed rapidly and had palpitations.

He Qi's eyes flashed, and he comforted in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't panic, don't be afraid. It's nothing more than a nightmare. Think about it day and dream night night. Your Highness must be too worried about the queen's mother. ”

The sixth prince sighed with a wry smile: "The queen mother's body has always been weak, and even I can't bear to kneel like this day and night, let alone the queen mother." ”

"I hate that I am lacking in skills, knowing that the queen mother is fainting and unconscious, but I can't be by my mother's side."

He Qi continued to comfort: "His Royal Highness wants to kneel for the emperor, which is also a helpless thing. With Ah Rong taking care of the queen, what else is there for His Royal Highness not to worry about? ”

That's just as well.

For Queen Pei, having Cheng Jinrong by her side is the greatest comfort.

The sixth prince's frowning brows stretched slightly, and he looked at He Qi, who had comforted him in every way, and his brother-in-law almost rushed out.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, and the words changed when they came to his mouth: "These days, Commander He has not been able to close his eyes, and he has worked hard. There are so many people around me, Commander He should go to sleep for a while! ”

It's only the sixteenth day.

There are still more than 30 days to survive, and no one can survive without a good rest.

He Qi thought of how the eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince could rest assured, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "I can still hold on." Your Highness, go to bed first! I'm here to watch. ”

Although I think so, I can't help my brother-in-law. However, with his brother-in-law here, he is really at peace in his heart.

The sixth prince silently gave his brother-in-law a credit in his heart, and was about to say something, when a strange sound suddenly sounded outside the door.

He Qi was very vigilant, and without thinking, he pulled out the long knife on his waist and asked in a deep voice, "Go and see what's going on outside." ”

An East Palace guard opened his mouth and quickly walked out. Soon came back to report: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Great Prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince are here together." said that there was an important matter to tell His Highness. ”

……

The six princes were stunned for a moment and looked at He Qi.

He Qi did not overstep his bounds.

The sixth prince is the crown prince and will also be the new emperor of Great Chu. No matter how much the Six Princes trusted him, he couldn't make decisions on behalf of the Six Princes.

He is a loyal minister and a good general, and he is by no means a powerful minister who touches the imperial power.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this sentence is not a lie. No matter how young the six princes are, their temperament will be gentle, and when they become the son of heaven when they sit on the dragon chair in the future, their temperament and temper will also change. He could not put everything in the conscience of the Son of Heaven.

The subtle scale of this is difficult to grasp. He Qi has a scale in his heart, what should be done and what should not be done, clearly.

The sixth prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Lone is tired today, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it tomorrow." ”

The guards retreated.

After a while, the guards came in again to report: "Several Highnesses said that this matter is very important, and they must tell Their Highnesses now." ”

The Sixth Prince was silent.

He has mixed feelings for several of his brothers.

Emotionally, he wants his brothers to be in harmony and brotherhood. But in fact, from the day he won the favor of his father, he became a thorn in the side of the imperial brothers.

Not to mention others, the brother-in-law of the "One Mother Fellow" is the one who hates him the most. did not hesitate to use Princess Shouning to calculate him, even his father and queen mother.

Princess Shouning's madness before her death was deeply engraved in his mind. Since that day, the veil of warmth in his heart has been brutally pierced, revealing the ruthless and tragic true face of imperial power.

He became more and more wary of his brothers.

"Sometimes it's ridiculous to think about it." The sixth prince muttered: "Obviously, we are brothers, and we should be the closest people in the world." Just like Pei Zhang and Pei Jue, they support each other and have a deep brotherhood. ”

"But I can't trust them anymore."

"I wonder if they're jealous when they're near me. Will they plot against me behind my back? ”

"I used to think that my father was too suspicious to trust anyone. Now it's my turn, and before I get on the dragon chair, I'm already thinking about it, isn't it particularly ridiculous? ”

It turns out that imperial power can really change a person, and people will unconsciously become the most disgusting appearance.

He Qi glanced at the self-loathing Sixth Prince with pity, and said in a low voice: "If Your Highness doesn't want to see them, you can't see them." ”

As the crown prince, as the future son of Da Chu, he can be a little more willful.

The sixth prince pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and quickly cheered up: "Let's see each other!" The father decreed that the virtuous concubine and the mother were martyred. Several royal brothers have to bear the pain of losing their mothers, and they don't know how depressed and uncomfortable they are. ”

"They are coming to see me now, just to beg me privately and find a way to save the lives of the virtuous concubines."

The will of the first emperor, of course, cannot be changed.

However, if you really want to save Concubine Wei Xian, Zheng Jieyu and the four of them, it is not completely helpless. can use the strategy of fake death to make them take the "poisoned wine" in public, and then quietly send them out of the palace. Later, they lost their identity as palace concubines, and changed their names and identities to stay away from the capital.

If he, the son of heaven, doesn't pursue it, which courtier will pursue these things?

In doing so, some of them can't help but think about his father's plans. However, he really couldn't watch his four lives fall like this, and he couldn't bear to lose his brothers at the same time.

These days, he has been silently thinking about this matter in his heart.

He never spoke to anyone. First, there is no chance, and second, this matter has to be done extremely secretively, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

The royal brothers were worried and anxious, and he could understand this feeling. Since they are here tonight, he can simply breathe some breath first, and he can also calm their hearts.

Thinking like this, the sixth prince felt a little lighter, and said to He Qi in a low voice: "What I will say to the imperial brothers later, you must be very surprised to hear it." ”

The six princes have been crying for many days, and it is rare to have a smile today.

He Qi raised his eyebrows, and his gaze swept over the face of the sixth prince: "What does Your Highness want to say?" ”

The sixth prince tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You'll know later." ”

As he spoke, the door was pushed open.

The eldest prince was the first to walk in, followed by the fourth prince and the fifth prince.
