Xie Ruqing witnessed the whole process, and she was still stunned, she would never have thought that her husband was the son of the former queen!

"Ma'am?" Qi Yanzhi stole a little free time and came to talk to his wife, but he didn't expect his wife to look at him for a long time without speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of her eyes, "Madam is sleepy and stupid?" ”

Xie Ruqing took his hand, and Qi Yanzhi wrapped her hand in his hand, "Madam, do you have anything to ask me, I don't have much time, if not, I can kiss it directly?" ”

"Nasty, don't make a fuss." Xie Ruqing swept his face away and glared at him with disgust, "Your identity is so scary, don't you allow me to be surprised for a while, you can hide it too well." ”

Qi Yanzhi smiled and scratched her nose, "I don't have any identity, you just need to remember that I am your husband, what does it matter if anything else?" ”

"Rhetorical!" Xie Ruqing glanced outside and whispered, "Then what are your plans in the future, the emperor him?" ”

"Ma'am." Qi Yanzhi hugged Xie Ruqing and kissed him, "Let's talk about these things slowly in the future, I'm a little sleepy, and I want to lean on you for a while." ”

Xie Ruqing sat on the couch, Qi Yanzhi leaned on her arms, and the tense nerves for two days and two nights finally relaxed for a moment, and he fell asleep immediately.

She touched his face and sighed, yes, what does it matter who he is, as long as he is her husband, she will follow what he will do in the future.

In the other room, Yu Ning and Qi Wan stayed together, with breakfast in front of them, but they didn't have much appetite.

"Prince, why don't you drink a mouthful of soup, you are tired all night, you need to eat something." Qi Wanru scooped a bowl of soup and brought it to Yu Ning, and asked softly, "Do you want me to feed you?" ”

Yu Ning smiled and nodded deliberately, "It's okay, you feed, I don't want to move at all." ”

Qi Wanru believed it, and really scooped the soup and fed it to Yu Ning, Yu Ning took a sip and held her hand, and said, "I'm kidding you, where you really can't even drink the soup." I'm just a little hard to calm down, you know, it's just ......"

"I understand." Qi Wanru interrupted him and continued in his place, "The prince is under pressure, right, the power is pressed on his body overnight, and anyone will be under pressure, which just proves that the prince has a sense of responsibility, and you will worry about not doing well if you care about the world." ”

Yu Ning nodded with satisfaction, glad that there was someone around her who understood her.

From the former crown prince and the third prince intending to usurp power, to personally "usurping power", these things followed one after another, almost making him breathless. Everyone, including Qi Yanzhi, thinks that he can do it, and if he can't, he has been fueled by a series of pressures to get to where he is today.

And sadly, after all this experience, he realized that he was not as useful as they thought, and he felt very hard, and he didn't feel that he was capable of holding a high position.

Qi Wanru said again: "Prince, I don't know about the affairs of the court, but I think you should believe in Mr. Qi, and you should believe in yourself, his choice of you proves that you have merit, no one is born to be an emperor, right, you have never been involved in political affairs before, and it is inevitable that the burden will fall on your head suddenly, just take your time, with Mr. Qi to help you, what are you afraid of?" ”

"I know." Yu Ning nodded.

"You know, I just don't understand why he didn't become the emperor himself, did he?" Qi Wanru knew Yu Ning very well, and she could guess what he was thinking. "Prince, don't forget, his identity is not right, if he succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that the world will be chaotic at that time, how can Mr. Qi not know the consequences, he is thinking about the world, how can he be so confused?"

Yu Ning didn't understand this, just from his standpoint, he felt that Qi Yanzhi was more suitable to be the emperor than him, for the sake of the world, of course, it was best for the sage to succeed to the throne. In the past, because of his identity, he knew that he was actually the eldest son of the emperor who was most qualified to inherit the throne, and Yu Ning couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, and always wanted to push the boat along the river.

"Prince, you must know that there are many sages in the world, but not everyone can be the emperor, a good superior is not necessarily the most talented, but he must be the most knowledgeable to use talents, Prince, you are exactly like this." Qi Wanru's sentence hit the point, and Yu Ning suddenly realized.

The thoughts that couldn't get around in my heart finally got through, yes, he was a man in vain, and he was not as transparent as a woman, and he had read so many books in vain.

Thinking about it like this, Yu Ning's heart is cheerful, as long as he is not as confused as his father in his later years, he is deceived and used by traitorous ministers and adulterous concubines, as long as he remains open-minded and let him be a sage, the world will definitely usher in a prosperous era.

"Like." Yu Ning held Qi Wanru's hand, looked at her eyes seriously, and said as if she had sworn an oath, "Just like, listen well, there will never be any woman in the harem except you in the future, I only need you one in my life, power and beauty can blind people's hearts, I am afraid that I will be lost one day in the future, I am afraid that I will hurt you and harm the world." ”

Qi Wanru was extremely moved in her heart, she looked at Yu Ning affectionately with tears in her eyes, and she only felt extremely lucky at this time.

"How can I meet Yu Ning."

Yu Ning said: "I am what he can do, and I met Wanru." ”

"Ahem...... Prince, it's time to go to court. Qi Yanzhi came over and called the prince to go to court, but he didn't expect to meet a small couple of people, you and me, so he immediately opened his eyes and coughed twice to remind.

Yu Ning hurriedly let go of Qi Wanru's hand, rubbed his blushing face, and said, "I'll come now." ”

Qi Wanru blushed and watched the prince leave, and then came to Xie Ruqing's room where he was resting, and the two sat together and ate breakfast slowly, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

After eating, Qi Wanru asked Xie Ruqing and said, "Sister Ruqing, how do you say that those concubines in the harem should be settled?" ”

Xie Ruqing glanced at her with a smile, this girl finally recognized her identity, and began to think about sharing her worries for Yuning. She said: "According to the precedent, the concubines and concubines who have not given birth to children have special palaces to settle in, and when the time comes, they will be asked to move over, and those who have princes can follow the prince to the fief by themselves." As for Concubine Zhao, with all due respect, she can't stay, someone has to pay the price for yesterday's events, and the so-called gun shot the first bird, she can only blame her for being too big. ”

Qi Wanru nodded, probably because she had just comforted Yu Ning, and she herself had finally corrected her identity, and sometimes she couldn't be soft-hearted, especially inspired by Xie Ruqing, she would not be disturbed by it if she took the opportunity to cut through the mess quickly.

"Sister Ruqing, I still need you to teach me more in the future, Yu Ning just told me that there will be no other women in the harem in the future, although I am useful, but I am not without worries, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it myself." Qi Wanru said sincerely.

Xie Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Yu Ning is really a good one, you didn't look away, it is definitely not easy for him to make such a determination for you, don't worry, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you." ”

"Well, thank you, Sister Ruqing." Qi Wanru said.

Fortunately, the three princes of the DPRK and the Central Committee have been cleaned up early, and when the court announced that the emperor was no longer a member of the board today, it did not cause a big commotion, but there were still some strange voices.

There are several old ministers in the imperial party who are finally the emperor, they don't know what rumors they heard, they don't believe that the emperor is seriously ill, and they insist on meeting the emperor in person.

"Prince, the minister heard that you stopped the harem concubines and princes and prevented them from meeting the emperor, dare to ask what you mean, how serious is the emperor's illness, can I wait to meet the emperor in person?"

Yu Ning said: "Lord Qin, my father was poisoned by Yao Guifei, and he was injured fundamentally, and he was already unable to govern, because Concubine Zhao Xian and others disturbed the sacred heart last night, causing the emperor to fall into a coma again, and he was unable to speak when he woke up, so I was ordered to be in danger, but please rest assured, my father is alive for a day, and I will be the prince for a day, and I will not succeed to the throne in advance." ”

This is so blocked that everyone has nothing to say, the prince is not in a hurry to ascend the throne, no one can say that he has ulterior motives to persecute the emperor, and he is the crown prince of the emperor's own title, and now among the princes, he is also the most qualified to inherit the throne, there is nothing to say.

As for the rumors that the prince did not let people meet the emperor, Zhao Concubine and others have been questioned, which is equivalent to death without proof, no one knows the truth about last night's incident, but one thing is certain, that is, Zhao Concubine did make noise outside the emperor's bedroom, which was heard by the entire palace.

The crown prince said: "If you meet your father, it's okay, when your father's condition improves, I will ask everyone to meet him, and now his health does not allow it, please forgive me." ”

The courtiers had nothing to say.

Recently, there have been many things in the court, in addition to the rebellion of the former prince, Shandong and other places have begun to make disasters again, and there is an urgent need for someone in charge to preside over the overall situation. The emperor seems to be unable to control it, everyone has doubts, and at this time they have to rely on the prince to preside over the overall situation.

Soon, the center of discussion in the court turned to livelihood issues such as disaster relief and taxation.

Yu Ning discussed this matter with Qi Yanzhi, and they agreed that they should reduce taxes for three years, and at this point, they can be said to be like-minded, so sometimes discussing political affairs is like meeting a confidant.

The crown prince announced that he would exempt Shandong and other places from paying taxes this year, reduce taxes for the next two years, open up the official treasury in various places for disaster relief, and sent special personnel to supervise it to prevent such greedy ruffians and hooligan parents from acting in violation of the law and oppressing the people. The people naturally applauded this move, but many courtiers felt that it was inappropriate, the emperor used to pay the most attention to filling the treasury in order to prepare for the needs of the war, and the previous war in northern Xinjiang was not an example, the treasury was relatively sufficient and not enough to support northern Xinjiang, if the treasury was empty, once a war broke out, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Although the northern frontier has been temporarily stopped, the neighboring countries are more than Fanbang, who knows if they are eyeing each other, just waiting for the invasion of the Celestial Empire when the civil strife comes. Moreover, the remnants of the abolished prince have not been cleaned up, and they cannot be cleaned up in a year or two, which requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.

The prince is so generous, everyone can't help but worry.

But the prince insisted on his own opinion, and was not worried about the ministers' gossip at all, and in the end the matter was decided, and the first thing that the prince did was very assertive.

This made the ministers understand that this quasi-emperor was firm-minded, and he was assisted by an iron-fisted Qingyang Marquis, so he would not be easy to handle in the future. Being a courtier is like this, not only worried that the emperor will not listen to his advice, but also afraid that the emperor will be too assertive.

A few days later, the emperor moved to the royal palace to recuperate, and under the arrangement of the prince and the marquis of Qingyang, he selected a few representatives to meet the emperor.

The emperor's mouth and eyes were crooked and he couldn't speak, he just stared at people and babbled, everyone was completely dead when they saw the emperor like this, how can he still be in power like this, this world is already the prince's.

The emperor is better off dead than alive, tortured all day long, the prince and Qi Yanzhi will still come to see him every day, formally report state affairs to him, and some things that require him to make decisions still require him to stamp the seal. Of course, the emperor can't move by himself, so he can only be pressed by the prince holding his hand, the emperor can't be angry, every time they come, he has to be angry like a toad.

Later, he probably saw it, and he didn't get angry, but he didn't care about people, and he didn't care about anyone who came, staring at the top of the bed in a daze every day, his eyes were dilapidated day by day, and his body was decaying day by day.

Xie Ruqing returned to the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, Qi Yan was busy all day, and she was not at home all day, but Qi Wanru still came to accompany her every day.

On this day, the two were making tea and reading, and Ruhuan suddenly ran in and said, "Miss, Mrs. Qiyang Hou is here!" ”

Yu? Xie Ruqing frowned, I'm afraid it's not for Qi Zhiyuan?
