Princess Yu?
Although Qi Xue expressed her disbelief, she couldn't help but think of the time when Princess Yu was favored. It seemed... it was indeed the time when she decided to switch identities with her brother...
"If you love your son, you will plan for him in the long run!"
"Ah Xue, you're so smart, you should know exactly what Princess Yu's role is. She's the sword that Father arranged in advance to clear the way for you. The exclusive favor, the arrogance, even the announcement of a woman ascending the throne, are all preparations that Father has laid out for you..."
"impossible!"
Qi Xue naturally saw that Princess Yu was Emperor Huichen's knife. Just as she had told Yang Zhao that day, her father was completely ruthless and cruel, and any favor he showed her was just an illusion.
"Don't talk about me setting the stage. If Father really cared about me, he wouldn't have used Princess Yu to kill my people one by one and continuously weaken the power in my hands!"
"Axue!"
Qi Feng looked at Qi Xue, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable disappointment: "Are you sure... those are all your people?"
Qi Xue was stunned.
Qi Feng: "You made a deal privately with Princess Yuchang of the Mo Dynasty. Do you really think your father doesn't know anything?"
"And there's the matter of the Miao people."
Qi Feng subconsciously reached out to cover his chest. He didn't know if it was because of the wound or something else, but he felt a sharp pain in his heart. "Just for that rumored beauty pill, you teamed up with someone and wiped out their entire clan. Ah Xue, where is your good conscience?"
When did the little girl who would rush to save a dragonfly that fell into the water when she was little become so cruel and cold-blooded?
Perhaps the disappointment in Qi Feng's eyes was too strong, and Qi Xue subconsciously wanted to argue: "I didn't kill the Miao people. I didn't kill them. In the end, I was the one who saved those Miao women..."
"You really didn't participate?"
Qi Feng interrupted her: "The Miao people live within our Qi territory, and they only live in secluded areas deep in the mountains. If you're not familiar with them, how could someone from another country possibly find where they live?"
"That's because... there's a traitor among the Miao people themselves."
Looking at his sister who was still quibbling, Qi Feng couldn't help but shake his head. He covered his aching chest and said one last thing: "What about that time more than five years ago when you led your troops to attack the Mausoleum of the Mo Dynasty for your own selfish reasons?"
Qi Xue opened her mouth to argue, but when her eyes fell on the man in black next to Qi Feng, all her words were stuck in her throat.
Battle of Lingcheng.
In order to lure Yang Yueqi, she did use all means, took the initiative to provoke a war, and even did not hesitate to use the secret stakes buried deep in Lingcheng... Even the final decision to make Qi a vassal state of the Mo Dynasty was a decision she made by taking advantage of Emperor Huichen's serious illness and joining forces with her own people.
Because this was the plan she had agreed upon with Princess Na Yu.
It just takes time.
She was confident that she could completely control the State of Qi.
At that time, she only needs to help Princess Yuchang to seize power, and she can get the three cities unconditionally. For this purpose, the two of them have already signed a contract in private.
But in the past few years, that 'Princess Yu' has been like a madman, repeatedly destroying her plans and killing many of her people. If she didn't have the special medicine, the Beauty Pill, in her hand, the 'cooperation' between her and Princess Yu would have been broken long ago.
"Acting on one's emotions and seeking the skin of a tiger is undoubtedly courting one's own destruction."
"Father once gave you a chance."
"But you disappoint him every time."
"Axue, you are indeed not fit to be an emperor."
When Qi Feng said this, his tone was more confident than ever, as if he was saying a fact that he didn't want to admit in his heart.
This sister.
He was very disappointed.
But she is also the only relative he can't let go of.
Planting a Gu would allow him to live a year as healthy as a normal person: "From now on, I'll leave it to my royal brother."
Qi Xue didn't understand at first.
It was not until she was detained and taken away that she reacted. Her heart, which had just been shaken by Qi Feng's words, instantly returned to the anger of being betrayed.
"Qi Feng, you want to be the emperor yourself? Liar, you liar..."
The shouts echoed in the hall.
Emperor Huichen remained silent, perhaps because he was completely disappointed with Qi Xue, or perhaps because his body had reached the critical point of exhaustion.
Yes.
Emperor Huichen also forced himself to be alert today.
He was already seriously ill.
Being able to hold on for so many years is already the end of its strength.
The reason why all the civil and military officials in the court were gathered together today and this scene happened was because his time was almost up.
"Declarate it."
As Emperor Huichen finished speaking, the shrill voice of his personal eunuch could be heard from outside the palace: "Call all officials into the palace..."
Because of the previous preparation.
So this time, Emperor Huichen directly appointed the eldest prince Qi Feng as the crown prince. He also ordered the concealment of Princess Wen's rebellion by replacing the eldest prince, and confined Princess Wen to the princess's mansion, never to leave the princess's mansion for the rest of her life.
Having just experienced such a bloody scene, no one in the court dared to utter a word of rebuttal. They all knelt down obediently to pay homage to the prince.
In addition, Emperor Huichen also announced several other things.
Four ministers were appointed as assistant ministers.
And that old man, Chen, who was supposed to have been killed by Princess Jade's tongue, actually came back to life and became one of the assistant ministers. This shocked all the officials...
They found out later.
Because it was all planned by Emperor Huichen and the eldest prince, all the officials had no objection to the eldest prince becoming the crown prince.
But what really surprised them was...
Princess Yu was named a princess.
This wasn't a princess, nor a duke, but a princess, the same status as a prince being granted the title of king! !
This was definitely something that had never happened in Qi before.
But in the end, no one knew whether it was because of the "rebel" army's previous riots. Although some officials were not quite accepting of it, no one dared to oppose it. In addition, the four auxiliary ministers all agreed with it as if they had been injected with chicken blood, so naturally, the officials had no objections.
In this way, the world's first princess appeared in Qi State.
Title: Qi Zhao.
*
Yang Zhao also participated heavily in the rebellion of the Qi royal family.
After she chased Tao Huan away that day, she never went back. Later, she found out that she, the "Princess Jade", had been inexplicably upgraded to a princess and was given the title of Qi Zhao.
However, she didn't care too much.
After all, she is not the real 'Princess Jade'.
But some things are always unexpected...
The next day.
Yang Zhao was summoned by Emperor Huichen.
When he saw Emperor Huichen again, Yang Zhao was quite surprised, because Emperor Huichen at this time looked like a withered corpse, and he no longer looked like a living person.
