Chapter 373: On the eve of the enthronement

"Auntie's trip this year, do you have to stop first, and wait for the king's enthronement ceremony to pass before going out?"

King Li asked directly, but the meaning behind his words was intriguing.

When she ascended the throne, it was spring, and it was also the time when Princess Yuanping went on a trip.

If she travels at this time, she will have an excuse to leave the palace, she can collude with the generals, gather heavy troops, and she will have the ability to oppose him.

If there is a time when it will be a good time for chaos, it must be the time to ascend to the throne.

At that time, all the ministers would come to Hindu to congratulate the new king, and those generals would also be stationed in Hindu with their armies.

With so many people in the capital, it will be a major destabilizing factor.

At this time, Princess Yuanping was in trouble, and it was difficult to predict what the result would be.

If the ascension to the throne can go smoothly, King Li will be able to sit on the throne, and if it doesn't go well, it is unknown who will become the lord of a country.

At such a juncture, King Li naturally couldn't release Princess Yuanping out of the palace.

It's still a festive year, but he said such words, which really made Shi Wang's heart uncomfortable.

She nodded slightly, even if she agreed.

King Li smiled, but the knot in his heart was still difficult to untie.

After the New Year's banquet, Princess Yuanping took the lead in leaving early.

King Li said a lot of words to the ministers, thinking about the days of political harmony in the future, and let out those smug smiles.

Qi Ping only poured water and wine, glass after glass, and did not participate in their topic at all.

After King Li announced the dismissal, he left first, and he didn't even say a word of resignation.

The road to the outside of the palace was still very long, and Qi Ping walked out quickly, but he still felt that it was too slow.

He realized more and more that the situation in the palace was not as simple as he thought.

Princess Yuanping didn't say a word, and the atmosphere at the banquet was also very strange.

Thinking like this, he didn't notice that he was following him closely.

When he found out, he was taken aback.

Qi Ping followed the maid to a remote corner.

Here, I finally got close to the taciturn Princess Harabairi at the table.

Before Qi Ping could be happy, he was hit to the bottom by Shi Wang's first sentence.

"This is the last meeting between Hongu and General Qi. When this palace finishes saying these words, you have to keep it in your heart and don't tell anyone else. It's up to you to what you can do after that. ”

To such a serious point?

Qi Ping couldn't believe that this was what Shi Wang said.

But he didn't have time to be surprised, Shi Wang's endless words made him subvert his original thoughts one after another.

The two of them stood in the cold winter wind and spoke for an hour.

Qi Ping just wrote down Shi Wang's words brutally, and before he could fully absorb them, he listened to Shi Wang's question again.

"How is Gongzi Lu lately?"

"Oh, Mr. Lu, he has been an official recently, but he has never been promoted, so he has not appeared in the court. But the princess can rest assured, Lu Gongzi is doing well, don't worry. ”

"Let him go back to Bianqian."

Qi Ping was even more shocked, since Lu Gongzi arrived at Zixi, he had only returned to his clan once, even if he was just a petty official, he would not see Princess Yuanping all year round, and he was still willing to stay in Zixi.

But suddenly, Shi Wang asked him to return to China, and the reason for this is really puzzling.

Shi Wang did not answer all the questions raised by Qi Ping, and only said "We will meet in the future" and then stopped saying more.

Qi Ping returned to his house with a stomach full of questions, although he didn't understand what he meant, he still contacted the ministers according to her instructions, explained to everyone, and established his own prestige among the ministers.

The joy at the end of the year has not yet dissipated, and the spring at the beginning of the year is full of vitality again.

The prolonged drought area welcomes the spring rains and grows strong crops. The diversion of the river was successfully completed, benefiting the people on both sides of the river. The True King of Heaven is about to ascend the throne, and everything is ready to go.

Empress Qi's pregnancy is becoming more and more pregnant, and King Li is on a double happy event, and he is naturally proud.

King Li also handled the affairs of the ceremony himself, and he didn't let anyone else do it.

The palace was swept everywhere, and everyone was busy doing their part for the new king's ascension to the throne.

And in the midst of all the busyness, there are still people who have not done anything, and are even suspected of being imprisoned as usual.

The attendants in Princess Yuanping's palace were not assigned any work, and even the entry and exit were guarded, and without His Majesty's permission, the attendants could not even take a step.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the people in the princess's palace is much worse than that of others.

"Princess, why don't we help? I heard that the servants in the queen's palace are all too busy to settle down? ”

Shi Wang already knew about the rumors in the palace, but he couldn't break their illusions, let alone the collapse of her relationship with King Li.

Shi Wang didn't say anything, and the waiter didn't ask anymore, but he still dealt with the chores in the palace and didn't listen to other things.

Empress Qi's stomach was pregnant, and she also felt that her temper was much bigger.

She went to King Li every day, all for the same thing.

"The child is getting older, and the name has not yet been decided. When will Your Majesty allow me to go and discuss with Princess Yuanping so that I can choose a suitable name for the child? ”

As soon as he heard this name, King Li was a little annoyed: "Now is the critical period for preparing for the ceremony, before you can guess Princess Yuanping's intentions, she will catch a flaw if you act rashly." You insist on going, and if something happens, no one will be able to save you. ”

Hearing him say this, Empress Qi naturally understood that he was unwilling.

Suddenly, emotions surged up, and Queen Qi cried in front of King Li.

"Look what you look like! Isn't that the child's name? This king asked the teachers of Tai Academy to discuss together, and they can always choose the right one! ”

"Am I just the name of a child? Your Majesty, the princess is your aunt, and you must not kill her. She has paid more than ten years of hard work for the sake of her son and for the sake of Your Majesty's country, if it weren't for her, how would Your Majesty be glorious today! ”

"Smack".

King Li threw everything in his hand to the ground: "This king owes her, but it doesn't mean that she can have no idea about this king's position." If you talk to her again, you'll be on her side!" ”

Empress Qi gritted her teeth: "I know what kind of person the princess is. It was indeed me who slandered the princess at the beginning, and Your Majesty knew it. If Your Majesty must use this to suspect the princess, don't blame me for not being able to surrender to Your Majesty. Even if it is a child in the womb, I am afraid that he will not be convinced by his father. ”

Li Wang was a stalker, but he really didn't expect to take out a child to threaten him.

Looking at Empress Qi's tears, but her hideous face and unwilling eyes, anger and unbearability rose.

Empress Qi clutched her stomach as if she was going to fight hard.

"It's just a name, you can go. Remember to have people follow. ”

Although it was an impatient tone, it was okay to agree.

Qi Hou immediately got up, wiped away her tears, and ran away.
