……

When Qi Jiu returned to the side hall, he found that the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting inside were all standing in place stupidly, motionless.

Zheng Zheng was jumping around on Ye Xianya's shoulder, seemingly happy.

"How did it come about? These people ...... Is it immobilization? Qi Jiu said with some curiosity.

"The Zheng was originally hidden around, and after it was shrunk, it was smaller than a person's palm, and the palace was so big, it was easy to hide, as for these four people, ......" Ye Xianya smiled: "They were ordered to monitor us, I really couldn't get used to their thief appearance, so I fixed them." ”

"I see." Qi Jiu suddenly realized.

"Daddy, it's not too early, let's go out and watch the play." Ye Xianya said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qi Jiu hurriedly followed.

It was already dark, and there were many Qi Yanping people standing outside, all holding torches in their hands, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.

The second, fourth, fifth, and seventh princes have all arrived.

The crown prince is dead, and the third and sixth princes died when they were young.

The emperor had nine sons, and now there are six left.

"Eighth child, what happened to your father?" The fifth prince, Qi Yansheng, took a few steps forward and asked in a deep voice.

"Look at what the fifth brother said, I am also my father's own son, of course it is impossible to be unfavorable to my father, my father has made an old mistake, this time it is menacing, even the imperial doctors are helpless, I specially called you into the palace, just to see my father for the last time."

"You lie, this morning, my father was fine, only a few hours have passed, and people are not good?" Qi Yansheng said and sneered: "We don't talk darkly, eighth, do you want to ascend the throne, are you worthy?" ”

"Whether you are worthy or not, it's not up to you to decide, everything is up to your father." Qi Yanping smiled lightly.

"If you hold your father hostage, force him to abdicate, and force us to comply, aren't you afraid that one day the East Window Incident will happen, and everyone will be punished?" The second prince, Qi Yanqing, couldn't help but say.

After the death of the crown prince, he was the eldest of all the princes, but his qualifications were mediocre, and he never thought about it, he just wanted to live in peace, but the eighth child still refused to let him go.

Don't look at the old eight, he always looks smiling when he sees people on weekdays, in fact, his heart is the most ruthless.

"Everybody's got it?" Qi Yanping seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed: "In my opinion, the second brother is not stupid, but ignorant, as long as I kill all the people who should be killed, and kill all the people who are not convinced, who else can kill me?" ”

"I don't care which of you is the emperor, I just want to be an idle prince, if anyone doesn't even agree to this, I will fight with whom." Qi Yanqing said loudly.

"That's right!" Qi Yanxing, the seventh prince who was standing beside him, also said loudly: "I, like the second brother, have never thought about the throne, whether it is the fifth brother or the eighth brother, you ascend the throne, as long as we continue to be idle princes, if you don't want to, then I have to work hard." ”

Qi Yanxiang, the fourth prince on the side, also said with a dark face: "Eighth child, if you don't let us leave, you will blame our brothers for being unkind." ”

"You're all in the palace, do you still have a choice?" Qi Yanping had a smile on his face: "For peace of mind, for my throne to sit firmly, I can only send a few brothers to Huangquan." ”

"Qi Yanping, do you think that I, the second brother, the fourth brother, and the seventh brother dare to enter the palace late at night, and we will not leave behind?" Qi Yansheng said and sneered: "If you dare to do something to us, I promise...... You can't fly with wings, and when the time comes, everyone will die together. ”

Qi Yanping frowned tightly when he heard this.

Lao Wu not only holds great power, but also has a lot of tricks, this bastard dares to enter the palace, and he definitely has a back hand.

"Our men and horses have surrounded the entire palace, after an hour, if the four of us brothers don't go out, the people outside will burn down the palace, and no one will be let out, the eighth brother had better not threaten us, some words are still clear before talking." Qi Yansheng said in a deep voice.

How could he enter the palace without preparation?

He controlled 40,000 horses under his hands, and as soon as he entered the palace, those 40,000 horses surrounded the palace.

Moreover, the second, fourth and seventh brothers also control some soldiers and horses, adding up to 20,000.

The eighth man is ruthless, if they don't rely on them and don't leave a backhand, they will only have a dead end.

Qi Yanping's face was a little gloomy when he heard this.

In the final analysis, the old man was eccentric, and there were 100,000 horses in Beijing, but he only let him master 20,000 of them, and gave the big head to the fifth child.

If it weren't for that, the fifth wouldn't be able to threaten himself now.

However, he also has a back hand.

"Burning the palace? What a strategy! Qi Yanping snorted coldly: "Do you think this king will be afraid?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy who was standing not far away suddenly rose into the air and turned into a huge wild goose, wandering around.

"With him, even if someone wants to burn down the palace, I am not afraid." Qi Yanping said with a smile.

"Qi Yanping, you actually raise monsters." Qi Yansheng's eyes widened violently.

After hearing this, Qi Jiu, who was standing in the distance and watching the excitement with Ye Xianya, hurriedly said: "He is a monster himself, let alone raising some demons?" Second brother and fifth brother, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Yi Guifei is a half-demon. ”

Qi Yansheng and the others were all shocked when they heard this.

"If it's not my race, its heart will be different, Starling has demonic blood flowing in his body, if he ascends the throne, none of us want to live."

Qi Jiu said loudly according to what Ye Xian had explained before: "Brothers, the eighth brother will not even let go of me, a little person who has been demoted to a concubine, let alone you?" ”

"I, Qi Yanchang, am a concubine, people are soft-spoken, unlike my brothers who hold soldiers and horses, I have no other way but to be soft, but you are different, you have soldiers and horses in your hands, if you are still waiting for death like me, in front of Lord Yama, you can only say that you were stupidly killed, and you can't complain about others."

"A demon, how can he be the emperor of my Great Yan Dynasty? Lao Jiu is right, if he is not of my race, his heart will be different, he will not even let go of Lao Jiu, who has no power and power, let alone us? The second prince said urgently: "Old Five, we fought with him, we can't wait to die!" ”

"Yes, Fifth Brother, we are all on your side, and everything is up to Fifth Brother." Qi Yanxing said loudly.

Qi Yansheng has been powerful since he was a child, and among the princes, he can be regarded as the most outstanding, because he is not a descendant, so he is not qualified to inherit the throne.

The emperor has been reusing him all these years, allowing him to help the crown prince stabilize the overall situation.

As soon as the crown prince died, there were more and more people who supported Qi Yansheng, and most of them were princes.

Qi Yansheng had someone in his hands, and his temperament was also very decisive, so he made a decision immediately, and immediately raised his hand to give a signal to his subordinates guarding outside the palace.

A moment later, there was a rumbling drum beating outside.
