"Zhuangtou caught a few big ones and I asked the kitchen to steam them."
"Husband's little one, since it's not time to eat, let's take care of it first." Lu Yun said warmly.
"Yeah." Yang Shu rested her head on Lu Yun's shoulder and looked at the purse she embroidered, "Mandarin duck?"
"I just embroidered some shapes and you can see it." Lu Yun had a smile on his lips.
"That is, if I don't have vicious eyes, how can I embrace a beauty like my wife." Yang Shu kissed Lu Yun's smooth face.
"Don't be ashamed." Lu Yun lightly scolded Yang Shu.
"It goes well with my clothes." Yang Shu picked up the purse and kept changing its position around her waist, extremely satisfied.
"I know my wife loves me." Yang Shu held Lu Yun's hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with emotion.
Lu Yun couldn't laugh or cry. How much did she abuse him on a daily basis? So pitiful.
"I know how to pretend." Lu Yun rubbed Yang Shu's face. The two of them did not talk about the Ninth Prince being established as the crown prince.
The ending that was already expected, how could King Xi actually help Guo Qi to take that position, they were just pawns on his chessboard.
…
In the Second Prince's Mansion, the attendants did not dare to breathe as they looked at the blood stains all over the room.
"Old man, how dare you lie to me!"
Guo Qi looked ferocious, with warm blood on his face and hands. He looked like he had crawled out of hell.
With a low roar, Guo Qi stabbed with his knife again.
The eunuchs given to him by the emperor were all lying on the ground with their eyes wide open, and none of them had their bodies intact.
"Your Highness, King Xi has asked you to meet at Heqing Restaurant." Seeing Guo Qi staring at him, the attendant hurriedly said.
Guo Qi raised his eyes, which were full of cruelty. He spoke without emotion, "Get ready, I want him to die!"
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive. If you ask clearly, it's not too late to take action." The attendant advised in a low voice.
Guo Qi stared at the attendant and narrowed his eyes.
The attendant's back immediately became wet, and he knelt down, "Your Highness, I have no intention of pursuing Prince Xi. I know you are annoyed, but you must be careful when killing the prince."
"King Xi wants to harm you, so you are jumping into his trap. We have been planning for so long, and nothing has been resolved yet."
"The Ninth Prince is a child, so what if he is granted the title of Crown Prince? It is not certain whether he will grow up."
The attendant spoke very fast, and Guo Qi wiped the blood from the knife on the attendant's face, "You know the consequences of betraying me."
After throwing away the knife, Guo Qi walked forward with a strong evil aura on his body.
The attendant wiped the cold sweat from his head and took a long time to get up from the ground.
When Guo Qi arrived at Heqing Restaurant, King Xi had already finished a cup of tea.
"Uncle Huang." Guo Qi smiled coldly and stared at King Xi closely, "You really gave me a big surprise."
King Xi had a stern look on his face, "Do you think it was my suggestion that the Emperor make the Ninth Prince the Crown Prince?"
"Could it be mine?" Guo Qi approached King Xi.
King Xi raised his head to look at him, his eyes did not dodge in the slightest, and he slapped the table angrily, "If I want you to die, why would I bother to bother you? I will just reveal your whereabouts that day!"
"You don't know what your father's virtues are?"
"If you didn't have any intention of fighting now, would he have kept you in Jian'an?"
"We all underestimated his ruthlessness. He only has himself in mind."
"As long as there is a possibility of threatening him, no matter how filial you are, he will not be moved at all."
"The previous plan will not work. He would rather establish a child than choose you to stabilize the country. As long as he still has a son, the position of prince will not fall to you."
King Xi frowned and his voice was solemn. This angry look made Guo Qi a little unsure.
"Look at what I'm doing. I've never been close to the Ninth Prince. If he ascends the throne, what good can I gain?"
"Even if it's regent, it's not my turn."
"With your father's suspicion, he will definitely take me away before he dies."
"Maybe he will kill him directly. He will not give others the chance to get his throne." King Xi's tone was cold, with a hint of sarcasm.
Guo Qi lowered his eyes and believed in King Xi.
What he said was indeed true.
Guo Qi's hatred for the emperor deepened. His kindness was really hypocritical.
I didn't think about him at all. Which prince who failed to seize the throne would have a good ending? He thinks that a little tenderness on his part can be enough to kill him?
Guo Qi gritted his teeth, his hatred seemed real.
All the people in the house could not make him truly feel sorry for him once.
"Uncle Huang, do you have any plans?" Guo Qi asked quietly.
King Xi pursed his lips into a straight line and said nothing for a long time.
"It's already this time, what else can't be said." Guo Qi poured a glass of wine, poured it into his mouth, and then slammed the glass down.
King Xi looked at him, struggled for a moment, and finally settled his eyes, "Let him have no choice."
Guo Qi's pupils narrowed.
"Relenting?"
Guo Qi sneered, "Softhearted? I can even give up my own son, let alone them. It's just that it's too difficult and it's easy to get involved."
"Guo Siye is not a fool. If the prince has accidents one after another, he will definitely be traced to me."
"By then..."
"How can he still kill you when he only has your son?" King Xi said casually.
Guo Qi clenched his palms.
"Anyway, it's death, so it's better to fight your way out." King Xi's voice was very soft.
Guo Qi's breathing became heavier uncontrollably, and his murderous intent grew bit by bit.
King Xi raised his lips and took a few steps away from Guo Qi so that this idea could completely occupy his mind.
"Your Highness."
As soon as Guo Qi came back, Xu Lang came up to him and said, "King Xi is a poisonous snake. You should not tangle with him again."
"The matter of establishing the crown prince is due to the coldness and ruthlessness of the emperor and has nothing to do with the emperor's uncle."
"Your Highness!"
Xu Lang almost laughed angrily. King Xi proposed to establish a crown prince, and the emperor would definitely ask for his opinion.
No matter who King Xi mentioned, even if the emperor didn't respond, he had been by the emperor's side for so many years, could he not see the emperor's attitude?
He let the second prince look forward to it, and then watched him fall heavily.
How do you agree with them?
"Sir, don't be upset, I won't completely believe him."
Xu Lang tensed his cheeks, "What did he say to His Highness?"
"Your Highness, you don't believe me anymore?"
Guo Qi frowned, and because Xu Lang pressed forward step by step, he spoke in a not so good tone, "Uncle Huang asked me to fight my way out. If all the other princes die, naturally no one will compete with me for that position. "
"No!" Xu Lang shouted, "Your Highness, he is pushing you to your death!"
"The emperor is very suspicious. As long as something happens to one of the princes, he will be alert and will definitely find the person who did it."
"Your power is far from rivaling the imperial power."
"Your Highness, don't be confused!" Xu Lang grabbed Guo Qi's arm and used force.
"Your Highness, King Xi has no good intentions. His plans are huge. Every step he makes you take is paving the way for himself!"
Guo Qi frowned and rolled his sleeves impatiently, "I didn't respond to him."
"Sir, he has been worrying unfoundedly lately. No matter how hard he takes the throne, it will never be his turn. He has absolutely no intention of doing so."
"I'm exhausted." Guo Qi strode away.
Xu Lang looked at his back, made a fist with his hand, and punched his thigh.
How could you be so naive!
He knew clearly that King Xi’s thoughts were impure, but he deceived himself and others!
