They can't deliberately make mistakes.
The prince is no better than Yueqing in the capital, and he cannot reach out to the six departments.
King Yueqing seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said, "Brother Huang wants to kill the son of Minister Qi. This is our chance."
After speaking, he stood up, picked up a mask and put it on his face. Time was running out and he had to go see Minister Qi now.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let your subordinates do it?"
"No," King Yueqing walked out the door, "You go and contact the Minister of Household Affairs and ask him to come see me."
When we arrived at Qi Mansion, the door was indeed heavily guarded.
King Yueqing bypassed the guards, walked to the courtyard wall of Qi Mansion, jumped over the wall, and went to find the residence of Qi Shilang.
Qi Shilang was wondering whether he should go to the emperor to plead guilty, but before he could make up his mind, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
He raised his head and looked toward the door.
The person who came was tall and tall, wearing a silver mask on his face. Qi Shilang was so frightened that he froze in place.
He stuttered and asked, "You...who are you?"
King Yueqing closed the door and approached Minister Qi step by step.
Minister Qi took a step back and said, "Come here again and I'll call someone."
He didn't remember that he had offended anyone. This person looked like he was not easy to mess with. He couldn't have come to kill him. If he had known about it, he would have asked the emperor to put him in prison. At least he wouldn't be so easy to sneak into the prison. People will be safer.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Qi." King Yueqing glanced at him lightly and sat opposite him, "I came to see Mr. Qi because I have a deal to discuss."
Qi Shilang stared at him warily, fearing that he would take out a knife and kill him directly while he was not paying attention.
"I don't know you, why should I make a deal with you? If you want to make a deal, go to a businessman."
"Shilang Qi is really interesting." King Yueqing picked up the teapot at hand and poured a cup of tea. "Isn't your son imprisoned in Dali Temple waiting to be executed, so you are not worried at all?"
He wished that the treacherous son and the poisonous woman would die quickly, so there was no need to worry.
The two of them had made a big mistake and were bound to die. He didn't want to anger the emperor because of them, and he didn't want to live too long.
Seeing that the Minister of Qi was indifferent, King Yueqing's hand holding the tea froze.
Could it be that I made a wrong bet? Qi Shilang was such a single child, and he could actually watch his son die in front of his eyes.
Qi Shilang was indifferent on the surface, but he was extremely surprised in his heart.
In just half a day, this person already knew about Qi Mansion. Could it be that the emperor sent someone to test him?
No wonder he could sneak into his mansion easily.
Qi Shilang confirmed what he was thinking and was not worried that this person was here to kill him.
After stealing a glance at the other party, he slowly moved to sit in front of the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and then looked at King Yueqing.
He was thinking about how the emperor would test him.
"You mean there is a way to save my son?" He said after careful consideration.
"That's right," King Yueqing said in a very confident tone, "Of course I have a way to save your son, but you have to show sincerity."
He said that Shilang Qi was just a single person, so how could he not care? It turned out that he was just pretending.
"Show sincerity?" Qi Shilang wondered, could the emperor want to test whether he should save Qi Xuan?
Should I refuse outright?
No, let's see what the emperor wants to test him first.
"Yes, if you want to rescue your son, you have to pay a price. The price is very simple, just agree to one condition."
Minister Qi was silent for a moment, "What are the conditions?"
"It's very simple. As long as Mr. Qi promises me, you must do one thing for me when I need you in the future."
After saying this, King Yueqing paused and continued: "Don't worry, I won't let you commit murder or arson."
After pretending to think for a while, Minister Qi said, "I'll think about it first."
King Yueqing was startled, he still hesitated for such a good thing.
But he was not in a hurry, it was Minister Qi who should be anxious. Anyway, it was not her son who died.
"Okay," he stood up, "I'm waiting for the good news from Mr. Qi." "
…
What King Yueqing didn't know was that as soon as he left the Qi Mansion, Qi Shilang changed his clothes and entered the palace to see the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qi would like to see you."
Eunuch Cao walked into the imperial study to report.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked people to come in.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
The emperor asked him to stand up and asked, "What do you want from me?"
[Pfft haha, Qi Shilang is so smart that he mistakenly thought King Yueqing was the person sent by the tyrant to test him. It's okay to scare himself. 】
emperor:"……"
King Yueqing really tried to find every opportunity, but he wanted to see how King Yueqing deceived Qi Shilang.
"Back to the emperor," Qi Shilang replied respectfully, "I failed to discipline Quanzi properly. Although I have nothing to do with this matter, I still have a certain responsibility. I ask the emperor to remove me from the position of minister of household affairs."
Instead of worrying about it every day, it is better to bring it up and let it go completely.
"Do you really think so?" Qi Shilang nodded quickly.
When he was in the palace, he had already thought about asking the emperor to plead guilty.
When this happened, even if the emperor didn't blame him, he, the minister, couldn't feel at ease.
"Come here, put Mr. Qi into the prison first and wait for interrogation."
Qi Shilang was so anxious to beg him to remove him. Could there be something fishy about him?
The emperor looked at Qi Shilang who was taken away without saying a word, and fell into deep thought.
[Shilang Qi is so happy eating in prison, but that's right, prison is safer than his house. 】
[Oh, I’m really looking forward to his famous interrogation scene. 】
Famous scene?
Although the emperor didn't understand the meaning of these words, he subconsciously thought they should be interesting.
…
"Eunuch Cao, do you know what the emperor will do with me?"
Qi Shilang asked Eunuch Cao who sent him to the Tianlao of Dali Temple.
It is said that the people who serve the emperor know the emperor best. Eunuch Cao should know something!
Whenever Eunuch Cao sees him now, he will remember what he said about being beaten by Qi's mother, and he feels a little sympathetic to him but also finds it funny.
"Of course I don't dare to guess the emperor's thoughts." Eunuch Cao followed him, "But didn't the emperor ask you to stay in the palace?"
Qi Shilang stopped and blurted out what was in his mind, "Didn't the Emperor send someone to test me?"
"Why does the emperor want to test you?" Eunuch Cao was stunned for a moment.
According to Eunuch Cao's wishes, the emperor did not test him, so who went to his house?
Qi Shilang shuddered when he thought of this, and his back felt cold. If he had rejected that person, blood would have been splattered on the spot by now.
Fortunately, now that he is imprisoned in the sky prison, that person will not take the risk of coming to Dali Temple to find him.
My life was saved again.
"Mr. Qi, it's not cold even today. Why are you shivering?"
Eunuch Cao recalled his thoughts, he smiled and quickened his pace, "It's okay, let's go to the prison quickly!"
Now not only Eunuch Cao was confused, but the two guards were also confused.
This was the first time that they were so happy to see someone entering the prison. None of the others were crying.
