Qi Mingchen rummaged through the bookshelves, and soon found a letter in a mezzanine.

It reads: Father's own enlightenment.

Carefully open the envelope, revealing rows of handwriting inside.

[Father, if you find this letter, it means that I have failed. 】

[I know that His Majesty is not yet old, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ambitious, and he and his father have the ambition of Lingyun. 】

[The son is helpless, he has already joined His Majesty's wings, and swore to be loyal to His Majesty and the throne, His Majesty is merciful, not ignorant of His Royal Highness the Prince's plans, and is still willing to trust His Royal Highness and hold a banquet. 】

[I have also learned of Your Majesty's intentions and ordered to prevent your assassination, and it is not my son's wish to fight you. 】

[Please forgive your son's unfilial piety, and in the next life, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to atone for my sins!] 】

[No matter when, you will always be a role model for your son, only regret that you can no longer honor you, put your thoughts on pen and ink, even if yin and yang are separated, your son will miss you, bless you......]

【Greetings】

[May you be in good health and all the best.] 】

Qi Mingchen carefully looked at the letter written by "himself" and understood everything.

The emperor was in the prime of life, and the crown prince was also very ambitious, so as long as he waited steadily, he would inevitably be able to inherit the throne, but he couldn't wait, and was ready to rebel directly and seize the throne.

His father has military power, so at tomorrow's banquet, he will lead troops to rebel, and he should have been a member of the rebel team, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden layer of identity, he was the emperor's person, and the real task of his identity was to stop his father tomorrow.

said that it was to prevent it, and it should be that he would kill his father tomorrow.

So this letter is a letter to his father who is worried that if the crown prince succeeds in ascending the throne.

The "Brother Mo" played by Mu Qingdu is obviously a member of the emperor's faction, and the task is most likely to protect the emperor tomorrow, and by the way, to test whether he is played by a trialist.

"Lord Shizi, it's time for you to have lunch, Madame is worried about you, so she ordered the kitchen to prepare chicken soup for you!"

Qi Mingchen opened the door and said, "Let's have lunch, I'll go see my mother in a while." ”

Although, the less likely it is that rare people are exposed, such a world is really rare, and he can't help but want to observe and explore more.

And...... He wondered if the mother of this body was a trialist.

The lunch is extremely tasty and thick, with chicken and spices blending together to create a rich and layered texture.

It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious food.

Is this the food eaten by the children of the nobility in the worldly dynasty?

After eating, he guessed where his wife lived, came to the door, and entered the house without any hindrance.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he didn't see anyone clearly, so he saluted and said, "Mother, it's too late for my son to ask for peace." ”

A gentle and loving voice sounded, "You are not feeling well, do you care if you don't ask for peace, come here, let your mother see." ”

Qi Mingchen took two steps forward, and in the slightly gloomy room, the face of "Mother" came into view.

The lady was dressed in a Luo shirt, wearing a delicate hair ornament, her face was slightly powdered, and her eyebrows exuded an elegant temperament.

She sat quietly on the throne, her eyes revealing a tenderness.

"I've been tired these days, my son, don't be tired of your body." Madame took his hand and patted the back of his hand gently.

Not a trialist.

Unless the person playing the role was really a noble woman in the house, it would not be as flawless as it is now.

Qi Mingchen was judging as far as he was, and his mind unconsciously thought of another aspect.

It turns out that this is the mother?

"My son will pay attention."

Madame looked at him for a while, sighed softly, and said, "Recently, the master has been busy, and you are so busy that you can't see people, you don't know what you're busy with, and you are flustered, and you always feel that something is going to happen......"

Qi Mingchen's heart tightened.

If these are true, then this lady will surely lose one between her husband and son, and the two closest to her will kill each other in the palace.

She can only passively accept such a result, and nothing can be changed.

He thought what he would do before tomorrow if he were a son.

"Mother."

"Well, what's wrong?"

Qi Mingchen hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to hug you." ”

Madame was stunned for a moment, then stood up, touched his head, hugged him gently, and said, "What's the matter today, since your crown ceremony, you haven't been so coquettish as now." ”

Crown Ceremony...... This body is in his twenties.

"I'm sorry, Mother......"

Before he could explain anything, he was interrupted.

"It's good to be like this, the little cub who was so small and well-behaved at the beginning, grew up little by little, and the more he grew up, the more polite he became, and he was polite to everyone, not as cute as before."

Qi Mingchen closed his eyes, feeling the faint fragrance from his "mother", as well as the temperature through his clothes, extremely unfamiliar, so strange that he almost wanted to cry.

He whispered, "Mother, take care of yourself. ”

has done so much, and it has not gone beyond the character of the character, and he can no longer distinguish whether he is playing or a little selfishness in his heart.

As I said goodbye to my mother, the sky began to darken, and it was getting closer and closer to tomorrow's banquet......

In the planning, many people from the crown prince have been arranged around the banquet, and of course, there are also people from the emperor undercover.

It is forbidden to bring weapons into the banquet, but some utensils and musical instruments have been replaced to establish the camouflage of weapons.

Qi Mingchen came to the palace for the first time.

The banquet was brightly lit and lively, with court musicians playing musical instruments and court ladies dancing in costumes.

The emperor sits on the dragon chair, dignified and majestic, and hundreds of civil and military officials are on both sides.

Today is the emperor's birthday, so a banquet is held, and the young prince has a handsome face and luxurious clothes, and sits down at the bottom.

"Father, today is your birthday, and my son has specially prepared a gift and a program for you."

"Oh? What the prince has prepared, present it to see. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, showing interest, but in fact, there was scrutiny and vigilance in his eyes, the emperor had experienced too many calculations in his life in the court, and he had already trained countless faces, and no one knew what he really thought in his heart.

The crown prince smiled and clapped his hands, and several eunuchs carried something covered with a red cloth and walked to the center of the main hall.

"Father, this is a gift for you."

The prince walked down the steps, waved the red cloth with his own hands, and saw the head of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, staring at him, and appeared in it without looking at him.

"And the show is, Father, you're old, it's time to rest......"

As soon as this move came out, the civil and military officials were shocked.

Subsequently, Qi Mingchen's "father" led dozens of soldiers to surround the palace, and he appeared behind his father, looking ahead faintly.

The gaze was on the emperor, who looked frightened, but was actually looking at him.
