Seeing Prince Su, he wanted to speak.
Liu Yueji was so panicked that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Glancing to the side, he found that Liu Qi seemed to be fine.
This kid is really good at pretending. Even now, he can still calm down.
To be honest, Liu Yueji couldn't help but regret it at this time.
I'm afraid it will only be a while, but Liu Qi would be better off selling her.
However, she didn't expect it.
"Your Majesty, I am already eighty-three years old this year. At this age, I have only a few years left to live."
"But I have always had a wish in my heart. After I pass away, I hope that the emperor will take pity on me and be buried near Qinglong Mausoleum, closer to the late emperor. When I get down there, I can have a good talk with the late emperor."
Qinglong Mausoleum is the tomb of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty.
Previously, members of the royal family would be buried here after their death.
However, after the Qingyuan coup, the late emperor issued a decree that, except for the emperor, princes, and queens, no one from the Liu family could be buried in the imperial mausoleum after their death.
They will be arranged in other places, quite far away from the imperial mausoleum.
This is the feudal superstitious thought of ancient people.
It feels like there is still another world underground.
The late emperor suppressed the clan for many years and had so much blood on his hands, so he was worried that these people would take revenge on him down below.
So this decision was made.
If Liu Qi thought about it, this would not matter at all. It would be different if the person was gone and buried.
But for ancient people with feudal ideas, this was very important, and very important.
What happened to the clan back then could be said to be a kind of betrayal.
If Liu Yu can be buried near the imperial mausoleum, it can be said that he has been recognized by the emperor, which also means that he is innocent.
Liu Yueji was quite surprised.
Seeing Liu Qi's indifferent expression, could it be said that he already knew that what Prince Su wanted to say was not what happened just now?
That's right.
Liu Qi had already concluded that Prince Su would not speak frankly to the emperor.
If he had had this intention for a long time, he wouldn't have to wait until now. He could have told the waiter when the emperor was coming.
He didn't tell it before, but only told the truth when the emperor asked.
Wouldn't the emperor think about it? What's the meaning? You didn't say it just now, but now I ask you, do you have any other thoughts?
Many people think that if you travel to the royal family, especially if you are a prince, you must shake your body, make the ministers tremble, and control everything with your eyes, without brain development.
But this is not the case.
People in ancient times were not evil, especially in the imperial court and the royal family. Everyone had their own special ideas.
In fact, being a prince is a very tiring thing before you actually sit on the throne.
Assessing the situation and judging people's hearts, neither of them can be missing.
If I hadn't been well versed in history books and done relevant homework before, I'm afraid that in this era, I would have been played to death by this group of people.
But what surprised Liu Qi was that it was like now.
After Emperor Qing heard what Prince Su said, there was no expression on his face.
He took a sip of the tea beside him and looked calm. No one could guess what he was thinking in his heart.
After a while, he finally spoke.
"Uncle Emperor, you have worked hard all your life for my Daqing. You should be the most loyal prince among my Liu family!"
"Don't worry, I will consider this matter carefully."
Although the words sounded nice, the word "consider" was very important, which meant that he did not fully agree.
Looking at Prince Su again, his eyes were a little disappointed.
He forced out a smile and smiled at the emperor.
"Then thank you, Your Majesty."
Even if you consider it, you still have to thank me.
Whether you can do it or not, this is the emperor's gift to you.
In fact, it was not just Prince Su who was disappointed, even Liu Qi felt a little wronged for him.
No matter what, Prince Su has been loyal all his life. Why wouldn't he agree to such a simple request?
From this point on, the subsequent topics no longer felt thrilling.
Emperor Qing even stayed in the Chen Mansion specifically and had a luncheon with the three of them.
After eating, Prince Su took advantage of his physical discomfort and left.
Liu Qi had no choice. Although he hadn't given the answer he wanted yet, after all, now was not the time.
When Prince Su returns, he will think about it again and again, and he might change his mind. After leaving Chen Mansion, he still has to hurry up.
But Liu Qi was still thinking about how he could make Prince Su make up his mind when trouble came for him.
After the luncheon, the three of them came to the hall.
After just a few words of small talk, Emperor Qing spoke.
"Sister, if you have nothing to do, just go and do your work."
This matter is not over yet?
Of course Liu Yueji understood that the emperor had something he wanted to tell Liu Qi privately.
Not daring to hesitate at all, and even more afraid of getting involved in it, he left quickly and sent away all the attendants in the courtyard.
The atmosphere was a little quiet, or very depressing.
After a while, Emperor Qing looked at Liu Qi with burning eyes, and suddenly asked sharply.
"Liu Qi, do you know your guilt?"
Liu Qi was stunned.
"Father, what are my sons and ministers guilty of?"
"I ask you, did you have something to do when you met with Prince Su today? Did you hide it from me? Do you want to plot something with him?"
If my previous self had seen the emperor looking so angry, I would have peed a long time ago.
But Liu Qi was neither humble nor silent. Not even a frown.
"Father, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Emperor Qing stood up and walked slowly to him, with a look of coercion in his eyes.
Even though Liu Qi wanted to be calm, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Kneel down!"
"Father!"
"I want you to kneel down!"
Liu Qi finally knelt down, but with his head held high, as if he refused to give in.
"Let me ask you again, what did you say to Prince Su? Did you have a plan?"
"Tell me the truth, otherwise, I will depose you as the crown prince now!"
Liu Qi looked at him firmly, pursed his lips, and shook his head.
"Father, I really don't know, what are you talking about?"
"This visit to my aunt's house is to attend a sect meeting. You know this. My aunt has also made it clear to you that what the emperor and I talked about were all family matters and there was absolutely no agenda!"
What Liu Qi said was sonorous and powerful. If you were an ordinary person, you would believe it.
But what was in front of him at this time was Emperor Qing, the emperor of the Daqing Empire!
"Hahahaha, okay! Very good! You won't say it, right?"
After laughing a few times, Emperor Qing suddenly turned his head and looked at the sword hanging on the wall.
Uh-huh!
Liu Qi was shocked.
Emperor Qing moved very quickly, directly picking up the sword on the wall, leaving the scabbard on the ground, and very quickly put the blade on Liu Qi's neck.
"I will give you one last chance, tell me!"
