Chapter 736: King Qi's Sense of Crisis
The King of Shu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "The son listens to the concubine." β
He wants to fight for that position, and his eyes are red when he looks at that seat, but if he is not optimistic about his mother and wants him to slow down, then he has no way out except to wait for the opportunity.
He is not the same as King Jin.
King Jin has no mother and wife to rely on, he is completely barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, there is no other way but to work hard, and he needs to worry a lot.
Seeing that her son did not object, Concubine Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and pointed to the chessboard placed by the window: "Liu'er will accompany her mother to talk about a game, it is rare to enter the palace." β
The mother and son cleaned up their mood and played against each other.
Concubine Xian, the atmosphere is much worse.
Concubine Xian, who was angry and vomited blood, was so haggard that she seemed to be seven or eight years old, and she leaned on the bedside to talk to the king of Qi.
"Mother, why is it so sudden?" King Qi was silent for a long time and asked, not without complaint in his heart.
Previously, it was the mother's idea to ask the Li family to harm Princess Yan, but she lifted a stone and hit herself in the foot, not only did not harm Princess Yan, but instead put the Li family in.
Speaking of which, the concubine didn't plan well.
That's it, the seventh child was given to the queen by his father, and the mother didn't reveal anything to him, which really caught him off guard.
Hearing King Qi ask, Concubine Xian's face became more and more pale, and her dry lips trembled slightly: "Your father didn't even reveal a word from the Queen Mother's side, and he called the Zongren Ling to enter the palace that day to give the matter a ......"
At the mention of this, Concubine Xian wanted to vomit blood again.
She is the biological mother of Lao Qi, but it was announced by the court, and the matter became a foregone conclusion, and the emperor informed her.
Don't think about it, she has now become a complete joke inside and outside the palace, and I don't know how many people are talking and laughing behind their backs.
hated that she was in the position of a virtuous concubine, and later had the support of the Guogong Government, but she couldn't even keep her son.
In Concubine Xian's opinion, it is one thing for her to dislike her son, but it is another thing for her son to give it to someone else without her knowledge.
If she had a choice, she would rather ruin this son with her own hands, and she didn't want to cheapen others, especially the queen.
For many years, she condescended to the queen, and the reason she used to comfort herself was that the queen had no children. Who would have thought that the woman who had made her despise her heirs for many years actually snatched her son away!
It was so neat, so easy, that she hadn't come to her senses yet.
Concubine Xian slowly closed her eyes, calming her surging mood.
The doctor said that she should not be angry anymore, otherwise her body will collapse completely.
didn't wear the phoenix crown but survived, then she really became a complete joke, and now at least there is a chance.
Let's see who can have the last laugh.
"Mother-"
Hearing King Qi's shout, Concubine Xian opened her eyes, and the gaze that fell on King Qi's face became more and more gentle.
All her hopes are in her son.
Concubine Xian slowly spoke: "I really underestimated the queen, they all say that dogs that bite people don't bark, I have always disagreed, and now I have been bitten hard to know that the old saying is reasonable." β
King Qi opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was too late to say this, but the person in front of him was his biological mother after all, so he could only swallow his words silently.
"Mother, what do you say about my father's thoughts on Lao Qi?"
"What do you think?" Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows, but she felt that even such an action was a little difficult, and she gasped lightly and said, "It's just that the queen has poured ecstasy soup, you can't watch Lao Qi excel, and let him be the prince, right?" β
"But what if?"
Concubine Xian was silent.
King Qi wiped his face vigorously and smiled bitterly: "Mother, the old seven didn't even have a proper royal education, and he was born to be sent out with the reputation of his father. But he didn't suffer any loss in such adversity, and he actually became half a sister-in-law. The son tossed and turned at night, and every time he thought about it, he was terrified, and even had the illusion that Lao Qi was not the son of his true destinyββ"
"Nonsense!" Concubine Xian snorted coldly, and her cheeks, pale as snow, were dyed red.
King Qi pursed his thin lips and didn't say a word.
Concubine Xian still couldn't agree with her son's words: "I can be sure of this, your father doesn't have that kind of mind for Lao Qi." β
King Qi was silent for a long time, so silent that when Concubine Xian wanted to say something more, he said softly: "At this time and that time, a few months ago, I think my father didn't have the heart to put Lao Qi in the queen's name. β
"What do you meanβ"
King Qi's eyes were like ice, and he said word by word: "It is taboo to raise tigers for trouble, what do you say?" β
No matter what the mother's attitude towards the seventh child is, the seventh child was conceived and born in October by the mother. He has the intention of killing Lao Qi, and he always wants to test his mother's intentions.
Concubine Xian naturally understood the meaning of King Qi's words, and when she saw his fierce expression, not only was she not uncomfortable, but she was relieved.
The fourth child has always had a good reputation among the ministers, but this is not a double-edged sword, which sometimes shackles the hands and feet of the fourth child and makes him not decisive enough.
It is a good thing that the fourth child can be forced by the seventh child.
Concubine Xian smiled slowly: "That's the truth." β
King Qi lowered his eyes and said softly: "The son is only afraid of making his mother sad, that is the son's unfilial piety." β
"Sad about what?" Concubine Xian sneered, "The mother concubine only has your son, why should others be sad about their lives and deaths?" β
From the moment she knew that Lao Qiji was under the name of the queen, she no longer had this son.
Anything that hinders the fourth child is a stumbling block.
"How's the Lee family?" The mother and son agreed, and Concubine Xian turned to ask about Princess Qi.
Disgust flashed in King Qi's eyes, and his tone was cold to the extreme: "It's still the same." Fortunately, she can't go out, and she is not afraid of her nonsense. β
Concubine Xian pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Your palace is not taken care of by a hostess, it really doesn't look good." β
King Qi bowed: "Yes." These days are a mess, which distracts my son a lot. β
Concubine Xian stroked her long nails, and her tone was cold: "Let her 'die' when it's almost time, Princess Qi's position can't always be occupied by a madman." β
King Qi hesitated: "Although there is no need to keep filial piety for his wife, once the Li family 'dies', it is not good for the son to be too active, and I am afraid that he will have to lie dormant for a while......"
"It doesn't matter. Your father's Emperor Dragon Horse spirit, there is no chance for a while, and you just use this time to recuperate. As for Lao Qi, the current spring breeze is nothing. β
King Qi nodded slowly: "Don't worry, concubine, my son will take care of the Li family depending on the situation." β
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Jingming opened his eyes and asked Pan Hai, "Did King Qi leave Concubine Xian?" β
"Left."
"What about the King of Shu?"
"Left, too."
"Where's King Lu?"
"Back to the emperor, King Lu was the first to leave the palace."
Emperor Jingming bent down, ignored the auspicious dissatisfaction and meowed, hugged it to his knees, and hummed lightly.
