Chapter 40: Plan Ahead

Ten crates of gold?

This generous handwriting is worthy of the emperor's old man!

Qi Hong did not accept the gold sent by neighboring countries in order to avoid suspicion.

However, this is the gold given by his "father", is there any reason not to accept it?

"The father is benevolent, and the son is grateful!"

Qi Hong knew how to advance and retreat, and immediately smiled.

and left the study.

Qi Hong found that the eunuch was quietly following behind him.

He turned around and walked around the corner, hiding under the wall and sticking out a leg.

The eunuch jumped up nimbly as he passed, avoiding his sneak attack.

It's not because Qi Hong is naughty, but this kind of thing, the former has done it many times.

The eunuch laughed sullenly: "Your Highness, are you happy now?" ”

"What is there to be happy about, in the eyes of my father, I am a chess piece that cannot be put on the table after all, and I still need to be strictly guarded, when he needs it, I am a piece of good material, when I don't need me, I am not as good as the weeds on the side of the road!"

Qi Hong opened his mouth and took the lead in walking forward.

The eunuch followed behind him and reassured: "The emperor was blinded by the traitor, so he is so indifferent to His Highness, and the slave is really happy for Concubine Xian when he sees His Highness cheering up now!" ”

Concubine Xian is Qi Hong's biological mother.

This eunuch was also the one who originally served Concubine Xian, but later because Concubine Xian died of illness, he was transferred by the emperor.

He is so good to Qi Hong, probably because of Concubine Xian.

Qi Hong quickly searched the former's memories, but found that no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the memories of Concubine Xian.

When he was a child, he was sent to the prince's mansion for training, and he felt very angry about the word "mother".

"Your Highness, the slave has long known that you are by no means a useless talent like in his mouth, but it's a pity that now the crown prince is dominant, and the emperor also has high hopes for him, so you don't have a chance to prove your strength for the time being!"

"But Your Highness can rest assured, the slave has been by the emperor's side for many years, and now he has some right to speak, if the prince dares to design and frame you, the slave will definitely try his best to stop it!"

The eunuch's loyal words moved Qi Hong's heart.

However, the eunuch's words were somewhat bragging.

If he was really capable and could change the emperor's mind, it wouldn't have happened like before.

Qi Hong is a pure man, who can bend and stretch.

This grievance is nothing to Qi Hong.

"You just need to protect yourself, don't offend the emperor for my business, otherwise you won't even know how to die!"

Qi Hong looked at him deeply.

The eunuch hurriedly nodded in response: "The servant understands, Your Highness, do you want to return to Yangzhou Mansion immediately, or do you want to stay in this palace for a few more days?" According to the slave, there is a mustard between you and the emperor, and it is also because you have not been together for a long time, if you can take more time to go around the palace, the emperor will not treat you like that! ”

"What you said is light, if I stay in the palace, the prince will be unable to sleep all night, and the emperor will not sleep soundly, for fear that I will suddenly rebel and launch an attack while they are sleeping!"

"Your Highness is really good at laughing!"

Qi Hong stood still and said softly: "You can send it here, I will immediately take my own people back to Yangzhou Mansion, and I will not go to Beijing if I am not summoned in the future!" ”

"Yes!"

Night falls.

Qi Hong left the imperial capital with his army.

After passing through a deserted outskirts, the army suddenly stopped.

Three figures walked out of the shadows, and they were the three envoys of the neighboring countries who had faced the saint before.

Qi Hong sat on his horse and asked them, "It's not easy to come on this trip, can you just get a little power for your lord?" ”

"Your Highness, what do we want? It's a pity that the emperor refuses to appreciate his face, and if he continues, the prince is arrogant and domineering, and has repeatedly proposed to use the army to suppress our land and force us to compromise, there is really no way! ”

One of the messengers sighed and said with hatred.

Qi Hong nodded, and then said: "It's good to have a little power, and after the adoption in the future, you will probably be under my control, so you don't have to worry!" ”

"That's why we accept it!"

"It's not early, the three of you should go back as soon as possible to inform your lord of the country, and wait until the day of the official announcement, and we will celebrate together!"

"Your Highness, go slowly!"

Qi Hong smiled faintly and continued to march in the direction of Yangzhou Mansion with the army.

In the face of the emperor's doubts and oppression, although Qi Hong was angry, the reason why he could endure it was because he had already negotiated with the three envoys a week ago.

Because of Qi Hong's kindness, he returned the gold that came from the tribute, which made the three lords feel relieved and established trust.

For the sake of the safety of the people, they are willing to be co-opted by the big countries.

Once this news reached the ears of the emperor, the emperor would be helpless with Qi Hong.

After all, all this credit belongs to Qi Hong alone, and it has nothing to do with the crown prince and Kanto Mountain.

"Your Highness, how do you know that the emperor will pass you into the palace at this time?"

Ling Jian looked at Qi Hong's cold face and suddenly asked.

"I thwarted the prince's brutal killing, he must be haunted when he goes back, it's not hard to guess!" Qi Hong sneered.

"The crown prince has done so many wrong things, and the emperor still has high hopes for him, I really don't know what kind of situation the world will become if it falls into his hands?"

"You must not let the throne fall into the hands of the crown prince, this is the condition between you and me, and it is my goal, you don't have to use these words to test my attitude, there is no need for this!"

"Your Highness knows everything!"

Military government.

After a few days of traveling, the army finally rushed back before the sun set.

Qi Hong stepped into the hall with his front foot, and someone chased after him with his back foot.

When I turned around, it turned out to be Li Huijun.

She is not in the medical hall on Long Street at this time, how can she be in the military mansion?

"Princess, what is the urgency of your sudden return?"

Qi Hong put his hands behind his back and asked in a cold voice.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness, I have a great event, I can't help but tell you!" Li Huijun wrapped her arms around his waist and burst into tears of excitement.

A big event?

Except for the sudden death of the crown prince and the death of the emperor, what can make him happy?

"What the hell is going on?" Qi Hong was not interested, and his tone was very indifferent.

Li Huijun lowered her head and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "I...... I've been pregnant for almost two months! ”

"So fast?"

Qi Hong was shocked, it had only been two months since he crossed over.

When the former was there, Li Huijun's stomach didn't move, why did he have it as soon as he came?

Li Huijun hugged her tighter and tighter, and said shyly: "This is His Highness's first child!" ”

"Have you ever looked for Lang Zhong? Is this news accurate? ”
