In the blink of an eye, I was speechless again.
After explaining what happened behind his back, King Qi fell into silence and was just plotting.
He only said half of these words.
In fact, when the prince died, although King Qi was sad and suspicious, he was also very happy. For a while, he was preparing to fight for the throne step by step.
But as he grew older, his thoughts grew colder and colder. Since his nephew came to Beijing, the situation has changed, and the arrival of Xie Zhenqing and Shence Army has revealed that his suspicions have become more and more serious, and he is getting closer and closer to the truth.
Those who eat dragons live longer. There is such a way. You, the King of Shu, your nephews, and even all your descendants are just the food of your father.
Moreover, due to his father's discovery, King Qi now despaired of any hope of normal succession and had to overturn the table.
Thinking about it, the princess held the token tightly in her hand and just leaned against his side.
Her heart was full of hesitation.
Where is the way forward?
"Don't be afraid. There are three major canals in the capital. The water systems extend in all directions. Even my father cannot block them all the time."
King Qi saw her fear and hugged her shoulders quietly, comforting her with gentle words.
"It has been raining heavily for the past few days. This is a good thing. It will make it easier for you to escape during the chaos. At least you will be a little more confident."
"The Imperial City Division is indeed powerful, but the land of the Three Assistants is a mixed bag, and there are always many gaps. It cannot be cleared away in a short time."
"You can also go boating during heavy rain, but I have to force you to get out because the cabin is probably a bit cramped."
His tone was apologetic.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself, I will... I will protect your bloodline."
The princess knelt down again and couldn't help but shed tears when she lowered her head.
Although she was not hysterical on the surface, she carried a different kind of sadness.
Just like the petals of a flower being torn apart inch by inch, torn into pieces, and then scattered, it makes people feel heartbroken and pitiful at the sight of it.
"Lingyun, it's me who betrayed you, hey... if, if things get leaked." King Qi paused, opened his mouth, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
"If you can leave, just follow the plan."
He took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was densely packed with small characters, and handed it to the princess: "This is the list of foreign officials under my control. Like Jiuxiang Bojiang Qifeng, they all have fatal consequences. If anything happens to you, hand it to the court immediately. "
"Killing your father and brother, no matter how great your achievements are, you will still die."
"So they don't dare to report you and rat you out, at least for a few years."
"But you can't be too intimidating, lest the fish will die and the net will be broken."
King Qi took out another piece of paper and said: "The maximum amount of a silver note is only one hundred taels, and the cash can be stopped with an order from the government and turned into a pile of waste paper."
King Qi smiled contemptuously. In the Celestial Dynasty, no official dared to deposit a large amount of money. Which bank dared to disobey the court's order and cash it?
Not to mention, if something happens, wouldn't it be nice to just refuse to pay and report it, and just take the money you saved?
But there are no officials, only people with brain problems.
There were remnants of the Lantern Festival who had been rounded up in the past. They tried to use their banknotes during their escape, but they were caught in a net and became a joke in the capital.
"I can't trust banks. These are the three banks I bought, and they contain silver."
"It's not much, 100,000 taels for each place, but it's enough for your mother and son."
"Don't hesitate. If you get it, go to sea immediately. If you hesitate and get caught, it will be too late!"
"Husband!" After hearing these words, the princess screamed in pain, her lips trembling.
"Don't be determined to die. Think about our son. If he dies, there will be nothing left."
"Even if you are caught, you don't have to... die..." He, who is familiar with the princess, said in a difficult tone: "I don't think that no matter how much my father eats people and cultivates immortality, he will never be able to kill... all his family like my brother."
"Otherwise, everyone would have seen it." King Qi seemed to recall the ominous dream again.
Prince Qi suppressed his mood, smiled, reached out and gently brushed the princess's temples, and pushed a strand of hair back.
Looking at her haggard face, my heart was filled with compassion and sadness.
"I'll beg him!"
"I knelt down and begged him, and said, just said...I repent."
"This is what I say to my father's people. I, Qing Ji, beg him to be noble and spare my only direct bloodline."
"My father is kind and will definitely forgive me."
King Qi smiled at this time.
"Your Highness!"
The princess felt heartbroken and couldn't help but cry out.
When had she seen King Qi in such a posture?
"Don't be pretentious. If you get to that point, you will surrender immediately. In fact, if you go to sea, I don't expect my father to pursue you for the sake of his reputation."
In the past, Prince Qi's mansion seemed to be full of flowers, but Prince Qi was the most anxious in his heart, and he always fell asleep alone.
The emperor has three adult sons, the King of Qi, the King of Shu, and the King of Ninghe County, plus a grandson who is recognized by the people as their ancestor.
Everyone has the hope of becoming a dragon, but they may also lose everything overnight, including their own lives.
King Qi knew this very early.
For twenty years, he had been worried all the time, until this time it really turned into reality, and King Qi calmed down.
"Actually, I know that you recently blamed me for sleeping in separate beds."
The princess raised her head in astonishment and looked at King Qi with a gentle smile.
"I'm afraid you'll be worried."
"From the day I learned the truth, I couldn't sleep peacefully for a day. My heart disease became more and more serious, and my temper became more and more irritable."
"I can't stand it any longer."
"I often dream of killing people. How can I keep you and my son by my side?"
"Your Majesty..." the princess called.
It turns out that this is actually the case?
Yes.
King Qi was smart and keen, suspicious and ungrateful, generous and easy to kill, and he even strangled his concubine to death with his own hands... This was how he was seen by outsiders and even his concubines.
But the princess knew that it was not like this at first.
He once thought it was the blood curse of the Ji family, but he didn't expect it to be the death of the prince that left him with a heartache.
But even so, as an enemy, King Qi always respected his concubine.
The thoughts that had been hidden for twenty years were now revealed by King Qi, with a strong ominous meaning.
A short period of tenderness, or waiting.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no tendency to stop. The pouring rain curtains shook in layers, covering the view.
Such heavy rain soaked the flower hall and rockery thoroughly.
Boom——
Huge thunder resounded high in the sky, and continuous lightning flashes clustered in the clouds like branches.
"Your Majesty, the rain has reached one foot or two inches deep, and the spiritual needle has been shaking for more than three seconds. The time has come."
There was a soldier wearing a raincoat, half-kneeling in the corridor, reminding him in a deep voice.
Only such a powerful celestial phenomenon can overcome the warnings of dragon energy and Taoism.
Where the power of heaven surges, the dragon's energy and Taoism all fail due to this interference.
This is the time to send troops!
The tender time was finally over. King Qi shook her hand tightly: "Let's go quickly. Don't hesitate. If I succeed, it won't be too late to pick you up later."
With that said, the hands finally separated.
"Wear your armor and go out!" King Qi smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes anymore, and he ordered sternly: "Everyone, follow me and set off!"
"Everyone, Qing Jun is on your side, you can turn the sky upside down, and the world will be re-created on this night!"
