Chapter 218: Calculation
"Do you really want to know?" The emperor glanced at him coldly, with a mysterious smile on his face, "You have to think about it. If you really know, you will be stuck in the quagmire and never come back from here again. There’s no way out of the quagmire.”
"Gudong!" Bi Yuntao swallowed hard. Looking at the unclear smile on the emperor's face, coupled with his words just now, Bi Yuntao always felt that he had been tricked. But now that we have reached this point, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
"Father, please, it is not a pity for the child to die in order to bring this beauty home."
"Hahaha! Not bad! This looks like something to say!" The emperor laughed heartily and patted Bi Yuntao on the shoulder with approval, "Then I will tell you all the information."
The emperor and Bi Yuntao lost track of time during this conversation. Time passed by quietly, and before they knew it, it was already afternoon.
"Hey! Sister Xue! I didn't expect that you are still a sweet girl. When can I marry you?" Bi Yuntao sat alone in the cell and kept sighing.
"Hey hey hey! What, His Highness Prince Qi?" Just when Bi Yuntao was filled with melancholy, Liu Laotou came over flatteringly and put the two broken pieces of silver on the ground in the cell.
"Brother Liu, what are you doing?" Bi Yuntao looked at him puzzled.
"Hehehehe! Your Highness, King Qi, I don't dare to call you a big brother." Liu Laotou smiled flatteringly, "Before, I was too blind to see the mountains, and I offended His Highness King Qi. The Emperor has just rewarded me. I really don’t dare to accept these silver coins.”
"Hehehe, Brother Liu, you are worrying too much. Since I have already given this money to you, just accept it." Bi Yuntao said with a smile, "Besides, there is no reason to take back what you have given away? "
"It's better to be respectful than obey orders." Liu Laotou neatly put the two pieces of silver on the ground into his pocket, nodded and bowed, "Your Highness, King Qi, if you can find anything useful in the future, just give me your orders. You must try your best.”
"Since you're like this, it just so happens that I have something to ask you to help me with."
Liu Laotou's face collapsed, he looked sad and wanted to slap himself hard. There is nothing to talk about! I know how to be courteous this time. Although the man in front of me is the King of Qi, he is also a murderous demon. Now the news that King Qi has slaughtered all the Han family with his own power has spread throughout the world. In the capital, it can be said that everyone knows it.
Bi Yuntao saw his smile that was uglier than crying. He didn't know what he was thinking. He took out a piece of silver from his storage ring and threw it into his arms.
"It's not a big deal, it's just buying me a bed and bedding. The environment here is really hard to describe."
"Okay, okay!" Liu Laotou kept nodding, nodding like garlic, "Yes, I'll go right away. Do you have any other orders, Your Highness, King Qi?"
"No more." Bi Yuntao drank from the wine flask, "Keep the remaining silver for yourself, use it to have a drink with your brothers, treat it as my invitation to you."
"Thank you, King Qi, thank you, King Qi!" Liu Laotou kept thanking him and went to buy things for Bi Yuntao with his money.
"Brother, you went to Jinling to do business. If you have time, you must visit Tao Pengju. He is now the acting president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. When he learns that you are going to Jinling to do business, he will definitely help you secretly. "
"What?" Ji Wuli put his luggage on the carriage and looked at Ji Taimei puzzled.
Ji Taimei looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she leaned over and said in a voice that was the only one between them, "Tao Pengju is the person next to the second prince. I have already informed Tao Pengju. Let him help you more."
"Then thank you, brother." Ji Wuli patted Ji Taimei's shoulder warmly, then got into the carriage, "Go back, I will rely on you to take care of everything in the house from now on."
"Let's go!"
"drive!"
The wheels rolled, and as the carriage moved slowly, Ji Wuli's thoughts, which were sitting in the carriage, also flowed with the wheels.
Tao Pengju turned out to be a member of the second prince. The second prince was really powerful. He actually controlled the Jinling Chamber of Commerce in his own hands.
After going to Jinling, it would be nice to pay a visit. The best thing to do now is to leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, as only a fool would stay in the capital.
I'll leave it to you to face King Qi's rage! I don't want to die. The commotion last night was so great that everyone in the capital knew about it.
After Ji Wuli's carriage completely disappeared, the second prince arrived belatedly, "Tai Mei, Wu Li has left already?"
"Yes. The eldest brother has left for Jinling." Ji Taimei replied respectfully.
"Yes!" The second prince nodded, "It's a good idea to go there. It's just a good time to get some experience, so you don't have to spend time in the capital only in the flower and wine places."
"Thank you, Second Prince, for your concern for my brother. I wonder what the Second Prince is doing here?" Ji Taimei replied with a smile.
"My prince has heard what happened yesterday, and you did a good job." The second prince said happily, "Although it did not achieve the original goal, the result is still good. Now King Qi has been imprisoned by the emperor, and Zuo Xiangfu has another If such a scandal occurs, they will restrain themselves for a long time in the future."
"Your Highness is ridiculous. This is all my brother's idea." Ji Taimei said respectfully.
"Oh?" Ji Taimei's words made the second prince slightly surprised. He glanced at him in astonishment and couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect that Ji Wuli to be so smart. It's really an eye-opener for me."
"It's all a slap in the face, and it won't be on the stage." Ji Taimei said modestly. The second prince praised Ji Wuli as if he was praising him, and he felt extremely happy. "Your Highness, since King Qi has been imprisoned, can we Secretly..."
Halfway through the words, there was no sound, but the palm of his hand made a mark on his neck without leaving a trace.
"This prince also has this intention." A smile appeared on the second prince's face involuntarily, with a cruel smile. "However, if we don't do it ourselves, let my silly brother do it for us!"
"Now this prince has been targeted by my father. It is not easy for me to take action, but my stupid brother who has a broken leg is hated by King Qi to the bone. Now you will spread this matter to Jian Shichi's ears and let him instigate the three. The prince takes revenge on King Qi.”
"Yes!" Ji Taimei immediately understood what the second prince meant. He was planning to borrow a knife to kill someone. After agreeing, he hurriedly said goodbye to the second prince and went to Jian Shichi to deliver the news.
This time, I was able to get rid of two thorns in my side at once, allowing the second prince to get out of the haze of Qi Delong's betrayal. After Ji Taimei left, the second prince walked leisurely towards his mansion while humming a song.
"Your Highness! I just got the news that King Qi has been imprisoned by the Emperor!" The third prince was having morning tea in the mansion when Jian Shichi hurried in.
"Is this serious?"
"Seriously, this is the news that just came from the palace." Jian Shichi said breathlessly, "Just after the morning court ended, the news has already spread throughout the court."
"Brother Jian, don't be anxious. Take a sip of tea first, and wait for the good news to come slowly." The news that Bi Yuntao was imprisoned made the third prince feel so good that he even took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the counselor Jian Shichi. "Please elaborate, what is going on? Why was King Qi imprisoned by his father?"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Jian Shichi took the tea respectfully and drank it in one gulp. He was indeed thirsty after running all the way here.
"Does Your Highness know what happened last night?" Jian Shichi said, "The action last night was done by King Qi. Then the Han family was completely swallowed up by the flames. The emperor found out the truth overnight. During the morning of the morning, he sent someone to escort Qi Qi. The king took him to the Jinluan Hall for personal interrogation, but King Qi did not confess to himself and admitted that he was responsible for what happened to the Han family. The emperor was furious and threw King Qi into prison in a fit of anger, waiting to be punished. "
Jian Shichi poured out all the beans in one breath like a bamboo tube, and he didn't even take a breath in the middle of the process.
"Hahaha!" After Jian Shichi finished, the third prince couldn't help but laugh happily. "Bi Yuntao, you are here too!"
"Your Highness," Jian Shichi said, "Now that King Qi is in prison, the imperial concubine can't reach out. Now is a good time for us to take action."
"Hahaha! Don't be in a hurry!" The third prince laughed, "King Qi is now in jail, but he was imprisoned by his father himself, and he won't be able to get out for a while."
"We need to plan slowly before we take action. Besides, the new year is coming soon, and there will be a hunting competition this year. If we act rashly, I'm afraid the emperor will be angry, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
"Your Highness, why not use those people from the White Lotus Sect this time?" Jian Shichi said cautiously, "Those gangsters from the White Lotus Sect are all desperadoes. Last time, because they were in the deep mountains and were dim, they lost the opportunity. But this time is different, this time the King of Qi is imprisoned, and he is like a turtle in an urn, and he can be easily captured."
"What's the use of a bull's-eye to kill a chicken?" The third prince shook his head and rejected Jian Shichi's proposal, "Let's do it ourselves this time. Since King Qi has been imprisoned, Brother Jian, do you think we are using poison this time?"
"This is indeed a good idea!" Jian Shichi's eyes lit up, he pondered for a moment, and agreed, "We only need to bribe a prison boss and let him mix poison into King Qi's food. This will not only make King Qi unconscious If we get rid of him without anyone noticing, after something happens, we can prevent the Emperor from becoming suspicious of His Highness."
"That's right!" The third prince smiled sadly, "Prince Qi must be unable to escape this time. Unless he doesn't eat or drink, he will die."
"Your Highness, I'm going to prepare now!" Jian Shichi was eager to give it a try.
"Don't worry. King Qi died just after he was imprisoned. This will definitely make the emperor suspicious." The third prince stopped Jian Shichi's behavior. "It won't be too late for us to take action after the limelight has passed."
