Uncle Qin lost his suppression and stood up, looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "Don't be so pretentious. Didn't you come with the troops just to ascend the throne and become the emperor? This throne is real, and no one needs to compete with me for the throne!"
Qi Yuning raised his eyes and looked at the almost crazy uncle Qin Guo and said, "The Qi family has always been loyal, but unlike you, you don't covet the throne. You are a traitor!"
Qi Yuan and Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning. She was clearly urging Qi Yuan to seize the throne a few days ago.
Qi Yuan asked his men to tie Uncle Qin Guo up and pull him down.
Emperor Shiyuan saw the three young people in front of him and saw that Lu Ze had lost a lot of weight. He said with guilt, "Get up, Ze'er. I shouldn't have disbelieved you in the first place. I almost killed you."
Lu Ze helped Emperor Shi Yuan sit on the throne and said, "My grandson has never blamed my grandfather."
Seeing Emperor Shi Yuan who had become skin and bones, Lu Ze felt guilty and said, "My grandson is a step too late."
Emperor Shi Yuan saw the incense sticks in the incense burner beside him that Qi Yuning had doused with tea and said, "I was so smart that I was confused for a moment. I was blinded by the power. I actually fell into their poisonous scheme and almost killed you. I You are really confused."
Qi Yuning said: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Although birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, who among the elderly doesn't want to live longer? If you use less aphrodisiac in the future, you will definitely be able to live longer."
Emperor Shiyuan said: "I know clearly that my body and bones will not live long."
Empress Qin shed tears on the side and cried loudly: "My child, I am so confused. I have raised other people's children for more than 20 years, but my biological child has no body left!"
Qi Yuning said: "Empress, your daughter is still alive. Aunt Qin is also alive, and you have met your daughter."
Queen Qin thought for a while, then saw Qi Yuning and asked, "Really? I have seen her? Is she still alive?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said: "Yes, she has just given birth to a baby, and she will be full moon in a few days. I will send her a message when I get back later, and ask her to come to Shengjing City when she is pregnant. "
Queen Qin asked hurriedly: "Who is it? I have seen it before? How come I have no impression of it?"
Emperor Shiyuan felt a pain in his heart and looked at Lu Ze and said, "Ze'er, is A Ping really my and the queen's daughter?"
Lu Ze nodded and said: "What Aunt Qin admitted personally is definitely not false, and you also know that she looks very similar to Aunt Qixia."
When Queen Qin heard that it was A Ping, she burst into tears and said, "No wonder I feel familiar when I see her... I am really ashamed of her!"
After Lu Ze comforted Emperor Shiyuan and Queen Qin, he said: "Grandpa, now I have to give up to the prince and the Qin family rebels, as well as King Ning and King Liao..."
When talking about King Liao, Lu Ze glanced at Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu hurriedly knelt in front of Emperor Shiyuan and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Liao has no rebellious intentions. It was I who noticed something was wrong about Afurong that made him raise an army. He has no rebellious intentions and is willing to spend his whole life If I stay in Liaozhou City and do not participate in the royal struggle, I know that my son will not be able to become the emperor. I have never thought of making him the emperor."
Empress Qin supported Concubine Wu and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of Sister Wu, let the King of Liao be spared!"
Emperor Shi Yuan saw the sky outside, it was almost dawn, and said: "Lu Ze, I will appoint you as the Minister of Dali Temple to work with the Ministry of Punishment to try the case of the Qin family's accomplices. No one in the court and the Qin family's accomplices will be left alive!"
"The Qin family and below have committed crimes that disrupted the royal bloodline, attempted rebellion, killed the princess, and colluded with Bei Mo. All of them are enough..." Emperor Shiyuan glanced at Queen Qin and said, "Execute the nine tribes!"
After hearing this, Queen Qin knelt in front of Emperor Shi Yuan and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you are wise! But I hope your Majesty spares Chong'er a way out. He also knows nothing. Now he is also infected with the poison of afurong. I'm afraid that his life is not long, so I beg your Majesty to give Chong'er a way to survive."
Emperor Shi Yuan thought about Zhao Chong, after all, he was the prince he had loved for so many years, and said: "Zhao Chong gave me the drug of afurong, so I should not forgive him lightly, but because he was being used by Uncle Qin, he should be treated as such." Confined in the small courtyard of the palace, not allowed to see the light of day!"
Lu Ze knelt down and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Shi Yuan said: "I have been deeply harmed by aphrodisiac and have become terminally ill. I no longer have the strength to manage state affairs. I will appoint Lu Ze as regent. Until the heir apparent is appointed, the state affairs will be temporarily in your charge, Ze'er." "
Qi Yuning looked sideways at Lu Ze after hearing this.
Lu Ze was obviously shocked and said, "Grandpa, this is against the rules. There are now three uncles in this court: King Xu, King Jin, and King Shou."
Emperor Shiyuan said: "Ze'er, the only people I can trust now are you and Yu An. Ze'er, you don't have to shirk. Before the crown prince is decided, you will handle the affairs of the court for me.
Yu An, King Ning is still causing trouble outside. You lead the troops to surrender him. If he is willing to surrender, spare his life. "
Qi Yu'an said: "Your Majesty, I think my subordinate Zhong Ding can also surrender to King Ning's troops. I still want to rush back to Beicheng as soon as possible to meet A Ping and the child I have never met before. .”
Seeing Qi Yuan's anxious look, Emperor Shi Yuan said, "That's right. Go to Beicheng to pick them up. I want to see my daughter and grandson... don't even get to see them for the last time."
Qi Yuning said firmly: "Whatever you can see, you will definitely be able to see."
Emperor Shiyuan said: "Ze'er, I will leave this messy Shengjing City to you."
Lu Ze cupped his hands and accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Shiyuan rekindled the incense of aphrodisiac and said, "You all should stand down."
Qi Yuning looked at the calmness in Emperor Shi Yuan's eyes, exited the Tai Chi Hall and said to Lu Ze, "Your Majesty seems to be no longer particular about longevity."
Lu Ze said: "Your Majesty has always been wise, but he is known to be being used by others. How can he continue to be confused?"
Lu Ze said in Qi Yuning's ear: "I'm going to the East Palace to send Zhao Chong to the small courtyard of the palace for detention. Do you want to go with me?"
Qi Yuning shook his head and said, "I won't go because I'm afraid Song Heqing will make him sick.
However, she is my only close friend after all. You should be kind to her, and also tell the guards guarding her in the palace courtyard, don't wrong Song Heqing in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. "
Lu Ze said: "That's fine. It won't be too late for you to visit Song Heqing in the future. You can go back to the palace and have a good rest. There are still many things to be busy with next."
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Well, I'll wait for your return in my palace."
Lu Ze said: "No, it's time to go to court soon. I'm afraid I won't come back until night."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Okay."
Qi Yuning returned to the palace and saw that nothing in the palace had changed.
When he opened the door, he saw his grandfather's memorial tablet at the door. Seeing Qi Yuning's return, Butler Sun's eyes turned red and he said, "Princess! You are finally back."
Qi Yuning paid homage to his grandfather's tablet, and also thought that the housekeeper placed his grandfather's tablet here to prevent the Qin family from leading people to invade the palace.
Qi Yuning returned to Chunjiang Courtyard and saw everything familiar, as well as the charming little clothes...
Qi Yuning held Lingling's little clothes and smelled them. She missed Lingling very much. Unfortunately, it would take more than a month to wait for Lingling's return after the news was passed.
Qi Yuning thought for a while, then planned to abandon Lu Ze and go to Beicheng to pick up Lingling. Since His Majesty asked Lu Ze to deal with state affairs temporarily, he would have a lot to do.
Although Qi Jiajun still has many trivial matters that need to be handled by her, it may not be impossible to leave them to her subordinates.
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling's little clothes tightly. She wanted to leave Lu Ze alone to work in Shengjing. Her thoughts of going to Beicheng to pick up Lingling became more and more serious.
…
In the East Palace.
Lu Ze entered the East Palace and saw a sweet fragrance in the hall. He covered his nose and stepped forward to extinguish the smoke in Zhao Chong's incense burner with tea.
Zhao Chong raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ze and said, "You're not dead. I really thought you were gone. How could you die so easily?"
Lu Zedao: "By your Majesty's order, Zhao Chong, no, Qin Chong should be imprisoned in the small courtyard of the palace, never to see the light of day for the rest of his life, let's go."
Zhao Chong stood up and said to Lu Ze, "I didn't expect that I could still save my life."
Song Heqing held Zhao Chong's hand at the side and said, "Your Highness, I will accompany you."
Zhao Chongdao: "I am no longer Your Highness, I am just a prisoner... He Qing, I will give you a letter of release from my wife. You can go. I only married you so that I could learn more about Yu through you." It’s just peace.”
Song Heqing shook his head and said, "No, I won't leave. I will always be with you. Once we are husband and wife, we will be husband and wife forever."
Lu Ze understood why Qi Yuning didn't want to come. If she came, Song Heqing would really make her sick.
