The emperor glanced at Gao Desheng: "You also step down." ”

Gao Desheng said yes, and retreated with Xiao Fucai and others.

For a time, there were only two left in the palace, the emperor and Yan Qi.

The emperor patted his side: "Sit down, let's talk to the father and son." ”

There was a sickly old feeling in his voice.

Yan Qi's lips moved, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and sat down wordlessly.

The emperor looked at his eyebrows and eyes, like when he was young.

Among so many children, he is the most bitter.

Whatever he does, he will give him the best!

He sighed lightly and said, "Last night, I dreamed of your mother." ”

Yan Qi's idle expression suddenly froze, and he looked at the emperor with clear eyes.

The emperor's spirit was very poor, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of tiredness.

At present, because of the recollection of the past, a little light was added to the cloudy eyes, and then the surface of the pupil was dyed with water very quickly: "She said that her house leaked a big hole, and she was drenched by the rain, so I asked me to help her repair the house." ”

"She complained to me in her dream, saying that I shouldn't have detained you, and there was not even a filial person in front of the grave." He coughed uncontrollably.

Yan Qi waited for a while, still coughing, frowned, raised his hand to smooth his back, and handed him the tea cup again.

The emperor drank tea, stopped coughing, and then said: "I wondered, did a tomb robber steal your mother's grave?" Or is it that the grave keeper is not attentive, and the grave is neglected to take care of it, and a big hole is broken? ”

When they left Jiangnan, the tomb keepers of my grandfather and mother were personally selected by Yan Qi, and their sons also entered the business house one after another.

Therefore, no one in the cemetery dares not to be unsatisfied.

The Qijia Commercial Bank is the home of Jiangnan Fa, and the commercial banks distributed in Jiangnan are the most numerous and the most refined among all states and counties. In other words, the shopkeepers of Jiangnan Commercial Bank are all trustworthy to him, and these people are here, and the chances of tomb robbers daring to do it are not great.

Not to mention that news comes from Jiangnan almost every few days, and if something really happens, no one dares to hide it.

Yan Qi's expression was cold, his eyes looked at the old emperor with indifferent eyes, and said calmly: "My mother is not in the grave!"

"Even if it was a hole, she wouldn't feel it."

The emperor choked, his expression suddenly became obscure, his eyes became more watery, and he said with difficulty: "You are still complaining about me?" ”

Yan Qi's eyes seemed to be a pool of death, looking at the emperor, his voice was soft and cold: "If you kill Wu Dehou, I will forgive you." ”

The emperor's eyes were shocked.

After all these years, he was still thinking about it?

"I already told you, it's not him, he doesn't dare."

Yan Qi rolled his eyes away and was speechless.

The progress of the conversation was different from what the emperor expected, and he thought that Yan Qi would definitely cry and beg to go back to repair the tomb after hearing his words.

Looking at his indifferent side face, the emperor said, "Do you want to go back and have a look?" ”

Yan Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the emperor.

"I can't rest assured." The emperor sighed sadly, his face full of sorrow: "If you don't want to go back, I will send Gao Desheng to go." ”

Outside the palace, the queen asked the prince softly: "Do you know anything?" ”

Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, looking at the prince's expression, the queen guessed that there was something hidden in this matter.

And the emperor left Yan Qi alone at this time, does it mean that it is about Yan Qi? Could it be something about Jiang Lingran?

The crown prince gave the queen a reassuring look and said in a low voice: "There are many people, let's go back and talk about it." ”

The queen got the prince's eyes, and she felt a lot more at ease.

Concubine Liang walked to the queen's side, bowed her knees, frowned and said worriedly: "The emperor can't find the crux of the problem, and he refuses to eat, what can I do?" ”

King Xiang looked at the prince and said, "My father has always been willing to listen to Zi'an's words, why don't you persuade the prince to stay in the palace for a few days?" ”

Yan Qi moved to Erhe Street, and King Xiang heard about it.

On the other side, Concubine Yi stared at the two pairs of mother and son with cold eyes.

If the emperor dies, the crown prince will be the new emperor who is rightfully named!

When the prince's party is on the throne, how can their mother and son survive?!

Thinking of King Rui, who was recently conspired to be grounded, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, could it be that all this was the prince's plan?!

first banned King Rui's feet, and then wooed King Xiang, and then did something to the emperor?!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, a fine cold sweat appeared on her forehead, swallowed, stabilized her mind, beckoned the maid Cui'er to approach, and whispered to her: "You go out of the palace immediately and go to the Rui Wang's Mansion now, tell him to get ready, and listen to my news." ”

"In addition, go to Zhang's house and let them all be vigilant."

If it really comes to a certain point, the 50,000 soldiers of the Fengzhou battalion are the blades of King Rui's escort!

It's their life talisman!

Although the words were vague, Cui'er still understood it immediately, her face turned pale with fright, she nodded in response, and left from the side hall door.

Yan Gu stood next to the pillar closest to the inner sanctum.

Sunlight poured in and shone on the pillars of the temple, leaving a slanting and thick shadow on the marble floor.

Yan Gu happened to be standing in the shadows on that side, quiet as if it didn't exist.

looked at the prince and queen for a while, and then looked at Concubine Yi, who looked tense.

Then he glanced in the direction of the inner sanctum and frowned.

This illness is not clear, not to mention that Concubine Yi is vigilant, even he can't feel at ease.

The time is not yet ripe, if someone is really secretly plotting something, with his current ability, the greatest success is self-preservation!

That son will never have a chance with him for life!

How can you be willing?

Looking at the people in the palace again, King Xiang's mind is unclear, and he has always been idle, and he has not accumulated any useful power in his hands over the years, and it is really unusable at that time.

And King Rui, if he fights to the death, he can compete with the prince, but after all, he can't reach the point where the fish dies and the net is broken, and he can't take the benefits of the fisherman.

Besides, when that day really comes, he looks forward to the victory of the crown prince even more.

King Rui is narrow-minded and vicious, if he ascends to a high position, he will definitely die!

Everyone in the hall has different thoughts, mutual vigilance and suspicion, and because the emperor is sick, no one dares to laugh and make noise, so the hall is quiet and dignified.

In this atmosphere, time becomes more and more difficult.

Half an hour later, a man walked out of the inner sanctum.

Yan Qi walked out of the Qinzheng Hall without squinting, and went to the head office of the Qi family firm on Qinghua Street after leaving the palace.

Sui Feng was very surprised by Yan Qi's return to Jiangnan, and he was more happy for Yan Qi.

He was finally able to go back and see.

But he didn't see the slightest look of joy on Yan Qi's face, but his brows were tightly knit and his heart was heavy.

Listening to his meticulous arrangement of the affairs of the firm, Sui Feng hurriedly collected his superfluous thoughts and listened carefully to his orders.

At dinner, the prince and Yan Gu both sent people to invite, and Yan Qi pushed them all and went back to Erhe Street.

You can sacrifice melon seeds once, but it's not good to use them a second time.

Yan Qi had to wait for the maids and mothers-in-law to fall asleep before climbing over the wall.

Standing at the base of the wall, he listened intently to the footsteps of the night patrol next door, silently recited fifty in his heart, and then neatly turned over the wall.
