Qin Shuihan did not take a carriage, but rode directly to the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, he heard that his father vomited blood and fell to the ground.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned back and walked towards the Imperial Medical Office.
Sure enough, the Imperial Medical Office was overcrowded today, and everyone was ready to go.
"Doctor Shen, is my father in serious trouble?"
Shen Chen put down the medical book in his hand, stood up and bowed.
"Reporting to King Han, Your Majesty's anger has attacked your heart. You can recover after a few days of rest."
Qin Shuihan nodded.
Anger attacks his heart, what will happen to his father?
The latest big event is Zhen Qiang's murder of Long Si.
Qin Shuihan lowered his eyes with great disdain. In his eyes, his father asked for it.
But in this case, he didn't want to have any more trouble with the beautiful girl.
Return to the house.
Qin Shuihan changed out of his official uniform again.
"Butler, where is that woman arranged?"
"Your Majesty, I have temporarily arranged this slave to stay in the guest room on the west side."
Qin Shuihan nodded, picked up the black robe in his hand and was stunned for a moment.
The clothes I once liked are still in Yiyi's bedroom.
He wanted to get it, but he didn't dare.
Yiyi likes to wear azure clothes with her, and she always says they are couple outfits with excitement on her face.
I really don’t know where I heard this word from, but it’s more appropriate to say couple’s clothes or mandarin duck clothes.
At that time, he would always tease Lin Yi about her poor classical proficiency, but Lin Yi just stuck out her tongue and insisted on pretending to be a couple.
"Butler, go order some sets of silk cotton damask and silk linen satin. Don't want sky blue. Make one set of other colors."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Shuihan's heart was still blocked by something, and he needed to work non-stop to numb himself.
He walked quickly to the west guest room.
The second room is still lit, so this is probably where I live.
Xuanfeng knocked on the door.
The person inside the house immediately opened the door.
"Are you Ge Jingci?"
Ge Jingci nodded, blessed.
"I pay my respects to His Highness King Han."
After saying that, she turned sideways and took a step back.
Qin Shuihan didn't hesitate and walked in directly.
He sat in the main seat and stared at her coldly.
She is indeed a beauty, but in his heart, no one is more beautiful than Yiyimei.
"Where is your ancestral home? What are your family connections? Are there any relatives who are officials in the court within three generations? Come here one by one."
Ge Jingci was a little confused, and these problems were all the way through the draft.
Unexpectedly, King Han followed the same process.
She answered mechanically: "I was born in Wagang County. I am nineteen years old this year. My father is a captain of Wagang County. Within three generations, I have not had any relatives serving as officials in the court."
Qin Shuihan said impatiently: "You don't have to call yourself my concubine, and I didn't ask your age. My father only gave you to me, but I will not take you into my house. Do you understand?" "
Ge Jingci stood frozen on the spot, not knowing how to answer.
"I heard it...I just don't quite understand what His Highness King Han means..."
"Even if you insist on staying in Prince Han's Mansion, I will not stop you. But for you, it will be like being thrown into the cold palace. I wish you could live alone here for the rest of your life."
Suddenly a light flashed in Ge Jingci's eyes. She wanted to ask something more, but her expression suddenly dimmed.
This change in expression caught Qin Shuihan's attention.
"What do you want to ask?"
Ge Jingci mustered up the courage to look at him. Although she came here for the draft, she had heard some rumors about Emperor Qin Ming's sons.
King Han has the most outstanding appearance and the coldest temperament, but it is said that after marrying Princess Han, he became very humane.
It's a pity that Princess Han was assassinated not long ago.
"His Royal Highness, King Han, doesn't like the little girl?"
"Why does this king like you?"
Ge Jingci blinked, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
The Qin Dynasty was an open country. Although the parents ordered matchmakers, they were only from poor families.
On the contrary, many wealthy people acquiesce in free love.
"If the little girl's father is in a high position, will His Highness King Han like the little girl?"
Qin Shuihan's impatience was already overflowing on his face.
"These are the only questions you have about whether you like it or not?"
He stood up directly, not wanting to say another word to her.
"Your Highness, King Han, please stay!"
Ge Jingci suddenly stopped in front of him and knelt down with a plop.
Qin Shuihan instinctively took a step back, with a dangerous signal in his eyes.
He doesn't like strangers being so close to him!
Xuanfeng took a step forward, knowing that his master was displeased.
"Your Highness, King Han, my daughter does not want to enter the palace, nor does she want to...marry you..."
These words were beyond Qin Shuihan's expectation.
He hesitated for a moment and sat back in his chair.
Ge Jingci swallowed and looked at him blankly.
His eyebrows were sparse and cold, and his aura was threatening.
"Do you have to ask me one sentence at a time?"
"No, no, little girl... I don't know whether I should say..."
Qin Shuihan sighed and told himself to stay, wasn't it just to be lenient for confessing?
He would listen patiently to what she said, but he didn't know whether he should say anything.
Stupidity has its limits!
"Tell me the key points."
"My father forced me to come to the talent show. My daughter has someone she likes..."
Qin Shuihan looked at her coldly. She was extremely beautiful, but her cute eyes did not look like a femme fatale.
"Your father is greedy for glory and wealth. He hopes that you can change your life and marry well to be favored by your father, which will help his career. The person you like must have a low status and cannot catch your father's eye."
"His Royal Highness Han, how do you know?"
"..."
Qin Shuihan stared at her. It was indeed difficult to have both beauty and intelligence.
Except Yiyi.
He stared at her, but there was another person in his eyes.
Ge Jingci's body became hairy when he stared at her, and she leaned back a little unconsciously.
"If His Royal Highness King Han changes his mind, he wants to bring the little girl into the room. The little girl will not disobey..."
Ge Jingci's eyes were red and she felt inexplicably aggrieved.
This cold king is uncertain, and I have no idea what he is thinking.
Qin Shuihan's thoughts returned to the present.
Suddenly he wanted to look up to the sky and scream.
"I really have no interest in you at all."
After saying that, Qin Shuihan stood up and walked out.
He walked silently to the entrance of Jinghan Pavilion.
Although the copper sheep lamp in the courtyard is brightly lit, the deepest bedroom is pitch black.
He stood for a long time.
No one dared to come forward and disturb.
Gugu——
Qin Shuihan's stomach growled.
Xuanfeng frowned, the master is in trouble!
"Master, it's time to eat."
Qin Shuihan turned around and ignored Xuanfeng, but looked at Cheng Xian who had just arrived.
"What's the matter?"
Cheng Xian swallowed, feeling that he came at the wrong time.
"The prince...the princess has a lot of voles in her experimental house. I don't know what to do..."
Qin Shuihan turned around again and looked at the southernmost part of Jinghan Pavilion quietly.
The newly built hut was Yiyi's experimental house. He had never been in it because Yiyi never let anyone in.
He knew that she liked to tinker with medicine in that room, and sometimes she would grind it and dry it in the yard with Biyue.
There is often a faint medicinal smell on the body, but it is definitely a fragrance.
Yiyi doesn't like bitter things.
He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Spring passed and it was already early summer.
Logically speaking, the coldest period had long passed, but his heart felt very cold.
"Let it go."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Xuanfeng, ask people from Fengying Pavilion to check on Ge Jingci."
"Yes, Master."
Xuanfeng rolled his eyes, probably hearing Zhu Tianhua's complaints soon.
The master has indeed issued many orders recently.
Three more days passed.
Emperor Qin Ming finally went to court as always.
"The DPRK cannot live without a successor."
"Your Majesty, I sincerely request you to appoint a heir apparent."
The days seemed to be back to normal again, except that instead of marching and fighting, paying taxes and doing corvee labor, there were more matters of establishing a queen and establishing a prince.
Qin Shuihan remained silent, wondering when his second brother would come back and when he would deal with Qin Zhe?
He could hardly hold it in anymore, he had been holding back for too long.
When will a suitable opportunity arise? !
Qin Huan drooped his head. His father was a liar. He asked him to investigate the case, but he refused to intervene.
I was asked to study with Lady Jane, but I couldn’t understand it at all.
He is not suitable for investigating cases, but these days he is also working hard to learn how to govern the country and bring peace to the country.
He turned his head and glanced at Qin Shuihan. How could he win the crown prince position?
Qin Shuihan knew what Qin Huan was thinking. The newly appointed deputy prime minister Li Kuanyan had just mentioned the matter of establishing a prince, and he immediately became uneasy.
What if you ascend to the position of prince?
The former Prince's Mansion in the south of the capital is still luxurious and domineering, and has nothing to do with the common people.
Except for the empty plaque without the words "Prince's Mansion", everything was as usual.
Although Qin Zhe was demoted to a commoner, he still lived a life without worries about food and clothing.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have learned that Queen Zhen is currently in Yeming Palace."
Qin Zhe sneered.
Yeming Palace.
It is difficult for the queen mother to stand up, just like herself, but fortunately her uncle plans to control Yongji Canal.
The father should not execute the mother and concubine!
But where should I go?
Qin Zhe wanted to join Zhen Weizhi, but he couldn't bear the prosperity of the capital.
He took a piece of cloth, wrapped up a piece of pork, and threw it towards Xiangrui.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing -"
"Tell me. I know it's bad news. Did your father make Qin Shuihan the crown prince?"
Guan Sheng shook his head.
"It is said that the Holy Father announced in the court that he would not establish a crown prince in the short term."
Qin Zhe's eyes lit up. Could it be that his father was still reluctant to part with him?
Suddenly he laughed.
"I still have a chance."
Guan Sheng's words were stuck in his throat. The Holy Emperor's original words were that he was an upright man in his prime and was in no hurry to establish a prince. It seemed that he did not show very strong emotions towards His Highness.
Qin Zhe stopped his smile and glanced at Guan Sheng.
"What's that?"
"Concubine Han was canonized as queen, and the canonization ceremony will be held on the third day of May."
Qin Zhe closed his lips tightly. Although it was expected, he still felt disappointed when he heard the news.
"I know, let's get some more pieces of chicken."
However, Zhen Weizhi's small actions around Yongji Canal were naturally expected by Emperor Qin Ming.
But what troubled him even more was the constant provocations from the soldiers in the Western Region.
What happened this year?
What an eventful year.
"Father, I would like to go to the Western Region to help General Yang."
The rustling in the court suddenly became audible.
King Han is about to go to the Western Region, so some families are happy and some are sad.
Shen Tianhao remained silent.
Li Kuanyan did not dare to say any more.
Everyone clearly remembers how Emperor Qin Ming got angry in public.
Although no one expects him to lead the army and fight in person, it is obvious to all that King Han is the chosen one.
In the western region, wind and sand are raging all year round, and the environment is extremely harsh.
What should I do if I fall down on the way?
He is the hope of Great Qin!
Bai Qiran also didn't react for a while.
King Han never said he was going to the Western Region, this was not in the plan at all!
Qin Yi was even more confused. Why did Fifth Brother suddenly propose to go to the Western Region?
Emperor Qin Ming also frowned, increasingly unable to understand his son.
"Han'er, come to my imperial study room after the end of the dynasty."
"yes."
Qin Shuihan followed Emperor Qin Ming and got on the chariot behind him.
He couldn't restrain his excitement at all.
Things seem to be going in the direction you want.
All the clothing from Southern Xinjiang was delivered to the mansion last night.
Today there was news of unrest in the Western Territory.
Qin Zhe's death has finally come!
"fall--"
Qin Shuihan calmed down and stepped off the chariot.
"Han'er, why do you want to go to the Western Region?"
"Father, I only have experience in fighting in Southern Xinjiang. But as we all know, Southern Xinjiang is a small country, and those experiences are completely incompetent against a powerful country like Wala."
"You still want to fight against Vala?"
"My son has the blood of his father."
Emperor Qin Ming choked for a moment, and he didn't want to conquer Wala himself.
"The western border is not as good as the southern border. The soldiers there are very tough."
"For the sake of Great Qin's territory, I am not afraid of death."
Qin Shuihan's eyes were full of unquestionable determination.
Emperor Qin Ming sighed.
"Do you want to be a prince?"
"In no mood."
The atmosphere fell silent.
"Why?"
"My son is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of being tired."
"..."
Emperor Qin Ming frowned.
“Dealing with government affairs is tiring, but who doesn’t want to be on the throne of God?”
Qin Shuihan stared at him expressionlessly.
Dealing with government affairs was not tiring, but dealing with the harem was too tiring, and he was filled with disdain.
Although Zhen Qiang deserves to die, her father brought this all on himself.
He may not be considered a promiscuous emperor, but his father's talent selection is definitely the most numerous among the emperors of the Qin Dynasty.
"Father, I really don't want to do this."
There was another moment of silence.
"How are you with the beautiful girl I bestowed upon you? Are you satisfied with her?"
Qin Shuihan was stunned for a moment. He had completely forgotten about this incident these days.
"Not satisfied, I have no interest in her."
Emperor Qin Ming snorted coldly.
"Aren't you satisfied with what I gave you?!"
Qin Shuihan swallowed, his father was on the verge of getting angry, but he was also very angry himself.
"No one can replace my beloved Princess Han."
"..."
Emperor Qin Ming laughed loudly.
Just a woman, so worthless!
"I will give you one hundred thousand elite soldiers to go to the Western Region in three days!"
"Thank you, Father."
"roll!"
Qin Shuihan bowed and retreated.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the palace, he saw Qin Yi waiting at the door.
"Fifth Brother, are you serious? Are you going to the Western Region?"
Qin Shuihan nodded.
"Fifth brother!"
"I've made up my mind."
Qin Yi frowned, drooped the corners of his mouth, and held back a sentence for a long time.
"Brother Bai and Zuo Haoran have already rushed to Prince Han's Mansion."
Qin Shuihan nodded and signaled Qin Yi to mount his horse.
"Xiao Qi, let me make a long story short. We will go to the Western Region in three days. There is not much time left."
"Fifth brother...why don't you have time?"
"Go to the Western Region in three days. Do me a favor. Zhu Tianhua will find someone to impersonate me. I want to kill Qin Zhe. Don't let anyone else know about this."
"..."
Qin Yi nodded.
He fully supports killing Qin Zhe.
These days, Fifth Brother must be awake at night thinking about revenge.
He also hopes to make a decision quickly so that Fifth Brother can recover quickly!
Back at Prince Han's Mansion, Bai Qiran and Zuo Haoran were already waiting in the study.
Both of them had grimaces on their faces.
"King Han!"
"King Han..."
"Don't worry, you two. This is just a strategic departure."
Zuo Haoran looked unbelieving.
"King Han is lying to others. You are trying to escape!"
Qin Shuihan trembled at the corner of his mouth, but the word "escape" really hit his heart.
He was indeed escaping, or begging for death.
The western border is dangerous. For Qin Shuihan, who specializes in government affairs and is familiar with history books, how could he not know the risks of going there.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
"The current situation in the DPRK and China is chaotic, and the Zhen Qiang family will definitely not be content. Zhen Wei will definitely dominate along the Yongji Canal. When I am away, I will rely on you."
Bai Qiran frowned.
King Han was right. Although Zhen Weizhi did not have military power, as the governor of Zhuocheng, he had accumulated power for many years.
Zhuocheng is difficult to deal with.
Zuo Haoran choked for words.
"Really? King Han, you are not..."
Qin Shuihan tried his best to pull the corner of his mouth.
This smile didn't look friendly to Zuo Haoran.
Every time he saw him, he felt that Qin Shuihan's condition was worse than the last time, his eyes were sunken and his eyes were more fierce.
Qin Yi has been silent since just now.
This is King Yi, whom Bai Qiran and Zuo Haoran have never seen before.
Suddenly there was a sound of piano.
