Chapter 317: Sadomasochism (Part 22)
"Father!"
Gu Qingcheng blinked her clear and innocent big eyes, which were full of pure trust and admiration.
She was like a lost lamb who finally found her parents.
Her powerful father told her very seriously: Be good! Baby, don't be afraid! Your father is very powerful and loves you the most!
In the territory of Qing Dynasty, you can walk sideways! Emperor Qing was distracted for a moment.
He was stung by the clean and pure look of the Ninth Prince.
This child, having forgotten his past, has become more innocent and more well-behaved than before.
The former Ninth Prince was also a good boy.
But even someone with sharp eyes like Emperor Qing could see the Ninth Prince's character flaws - inferiority complex, sensitivity, and too much concern for other people's comments.
Emperor Qing is an emperor first, and then a father.
For him, his ideal successor should be someone calm to the point of being cruel.
You must also have the domineering spirit of decisiveness, killing and supremacy.
As for other people’s thoughts and comments, you don’t have to care too much about them, and you must not be influenced by them!
"Jiulang, you are too cowardly! Just be a rich and idle king."
Emperor Qing kicked the Ninth Prince out of the list of candidates for succession very early on.
Therefore, when the emperor needed a prince to go to Feng Dynasty for "study tour", he chose the ninth prince without hesitation.
The Ninth Prince was injured and lost his memory, and Emperor Qing was full of conspiracy theories.
But at this moment, seeing the real person, Emperor Qing believed in his own intuition and also believed in the ability of the Embroidered Robe Messenger.
He was already 80 to 90 percent certain: the Ninth Prince in front of him was the Ninth Prince, but he seemed like a different person.
No matter how imaginative Emperor Qing is, he could not have thought of using a "time travel" plot to describe later generations.
I can only choose to believe that the Ninth Prince really has amnesia.
Emperor Qing once asked the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau, who were all the top medical experts in the Qing Dynasty.
Before being selected into the Imperial Medical Bureau, these imperial physicians either had family training or had made a name for themselves practicing medicine among the people for many years.
No matter what the situation is, their medical skills and knowledge are very advanced.
Amnesia may sound incredible, but there are such cases.
Several imperial doctors gave examples, either from their own experiences or from the pulse records and prescriptions left by their ancestors, all of which could prove that there were indeed people in the world who forgot everything because of a head injury! With the case records, the investigation of the Embroidered Envoy, and Emperor Qing's own intuition, Emperor Qing believed the Ninth Prince.
In fact, even if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t matter.
After all, the Ninth Prince now has new value. It doesn’t matter whether he has amnesia or not, or whether he has ambitions or not.
As long as he can help the eldest prince and the second prince share the firepower and prevent Queen Yuan from going crazy, Emperor Qing will have met his needs.
Everything else doesn’t matter!
What's more, if the Ninth Prince is really ambitious, it might even play a better role! Emperor Qing had a doting smile on his face, as if he was a "good father of the Qing Dynasty", but he had already weighed all the pros and cons in his heart, and finally made a decision.
"Jiulang, my son, you have suffered!"
"Don't worry, Father will definitely compensate you well in the future!"
"As for Feng Dynasty, father will also help you get justice!"
When Emperor Qing said this, a sinister gleam flashed in his eyes.
Regardless of whether the Ninth Prince had any conspiracy of his own, it was absolutely true that he fell off a cliff in his carriage.
Who was responsible for this "accident"? Emperor Qing did not want to think too badly of his son, and he had already given up on the Ninth Prince. In his opinion, the Ninth Prince was not a threat to the other princes.
His sons were not stupid, so how could they not see his plan? Therefore, the first thing Emperor Qing did was to rule out the possibility that it was someone from Qing Dynasty who did it.
If he is not from the Qing Dynasty, then he must be from the Feng Dynasty!
Yes! It must be them!
The Feng Dynasty was apparently allied with the Qing Dynasty, and seemed to treat the princes who went to study very well.
But the two countries are ultimately hostile.
Even Emperor Qing himself did not send the Ninth Prince to Feng Dynasty for pure "study tour".
He asked great scholars and teachers to tell the Ninth Prince about the customs, culture, and topography of Feng Dynasty, in order to help the Ninth Prince find loopholes to attack Feng Dynasty.
Sooner or later, there will be a war between the Qing Dynasty and the Feng Dynasty.
Emperor Qing judged others by his own experience and thought that Emperor Feng should also be wary of the Qing Dynasty.
It is not impossible to create an accident and give the prince a warning when he goes to study!
Emperor Qing never minds speculating about his enemies with the greatest malice.
Even if this "speculation" is ridiculous.
Ahem, Emperor Qing could not have imagined that his son would travel through time, and naturally he could not have imagined that the little princess of Feng Dynasty would be reborn.
He just made a guess based on his own experience and preferences.
However, his guess was very close to the truth - the fall of the Ninth Prince was indeed caused by the people of Feng Dynasty.
Emperor Qing didn't know that he had guessed the truth, but as a qualified politician, making up stories out of nothing and making unreasonable arguments are basic operations.
He had already made up his mind to put the blame for the Ninth Prince falling off the cliff on Feng Chao.
Then, he could easily deny the prince's study tour.
There was no way. Emperor Qing had already decided to keep the Ninth Prince as a new target, so he naturally couldn't send him back.
But if we choose another prince, there are no good candidates at the moment.
Well, among his more than ten princes, except the ninth prince, the other princes' in-laws were either from noble families or aristocratic families.
No matter who you choose, there will be a lot of people jumping out to oppose! So they just seized the excuse of the Ninth Prince falling off the cliff and solemnly protested to Feng Dynasty, saying: Your country is so unsafe that even a prince who came to study could accidentally fall off his horse. We are really scared!
We should first ask your country to thoroughly investigate the Ninth Prince's fall from his horse. Once we have a clear result, we can consider sending a prince to your country! Emperor Feng: ...What are you investigating?
This was made by my little girl.
Just as Huoshui complained, rebirth is just living again, not being reborn, and certainly not adding a few more brains.
The little princess Chu Zhao may not be a real fool, but she is a complete love-brained person.
If you are in love all day long, it is easy to act emotionally.
After she was reborn, her heart was full of love, hatred, and vengeance, and she did not have too many scruples in her actions.
In order to retaliate against the scumbag, she took her guards and went straight to the border between Qing Dynasty and Feng Dynasty, and tampered with the carriage of the Ninth Prince.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Well, instead of sending a killer directly, they designed some "accident". This was probably the result of Chu Zhao thinking hard.
However, Chu Zhaozhen is not the type to engage in conspiracies and intrigues.
She herself is not cautious enough, so the people under her are also rough.
There were clues left on the carriage, and the postman at the post station was bribed, so after a brief interrogation, a confession was obtained!
Fortunately, Emperor Feng noticed what Chu Zhao had done and quickly sent people to deal with the aftermath.
All the witnesses and physical evidence were taken away.
Even so, Emperor Feng still felt a little guilty.
Therefore, when Emperor Feng received the accountability note from the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.
He ordered someone to write back to Emperor Qing, saying: Feng Dynasty deeply regrets the fate of your country's ninth prince! However, after multiple investigations, it was confirmed that it was indeed just an accident.
However, considering that the Ninth Prince was indeed injured, Feng Dynasty suspended this year's "study tour" program out of humanitarian concern.
Whether the prince of Qing Dynasty will be invited to study abroad in the future depends on the comparison of national strength of both sides.
Of course, such words cannot be said explicitly, but Emperor Qing and Emperor Feng understand it very well in their hearts.
And what the truth of the matter is, both of them know it well.
Emperor Qing: ...Shit, I guessed it right! It turned out to be the bastard from Feng Dynasty who did it.
Emperor Feng: ...Alas, my little girl is too willful. How did she become an enemy of the Ninth Prince?
However, it had all been done and the little daughter had admitted her mistake, so as a father, he could only hold his nose and help her clean up the mess.
In this way, both Qing and Feng countries kept the matter tacitly under wraps.
Concubine Dong was originally thinking about how to keep her son here.
As for Gu Qingcheng, he decided to pretend to have amnesia and was prepared to use his identity as "beloved son" to feel safe and secure.
Just as the mother and son were thinking about exerting their strength, Emperor Qing looked like a loving father and said, "I am a little scared of Donglang's misfortune."
"Put a hold on the study tour!"
Concubine Dong and Gu Qingcheng both showed expressions of gratitude and joy.
In the eyes of both mother and son, there was only the shadow of Emperor Qing: Honey! You are such a good father! Emperor Qing was trusted and relied on wholeheartedly, and although he didn't have much conscience, he was still a little touched.
Alas, once the candidate for the crown prince is determined, I will do my best to protect you and your son! Emperor Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qing Chao did not persist.
The only one who was unhappy was Chu Zhao: "Humph! Good job Qingcheng, you got it easy this time!"
"However, you can only be lucky once! Next time, I will not let you off!"
After this incident, Chu Zhao realized the wonders of power.
If she had more power, could she not worry too much and kill Qing Cheng directly instead of doing something "accidental" ?
It was indeed an accident, full of all kinds of accidents. Even after falling from such a high cliff, the bastard did not die and was able to escape all the way back to Qing Dynasty.
Yeah! I understand! I want to have more power too.
The little princess had ambitions.
However, no matter how favored she is, she is just a princess.
Emperor Feng could pamper her and the Empress could protect her, but they would not let her be the successor.
In his previous life, Chu Zhao was deceived by the Ninth Prince, which led to the defeat of the Feng Dynasty and the massacre of all the Chu royal family.
At that time, seeing his brothers and sisters from the same mother or half mother being slaughtered, Chu Zhao felt grief, sadness, despair and self-blame.
They are all her blood relatives.
In such an environment, Chu Zhao only remembered their blood relationship and their feelings towards him.
Forget about the past frictions and conflicts for the time being.
After being reborn, Chu Zhao initially felt guilty towards his brothers and sisters and wanted to make it up to them.
But after a period of time, the joy of rebirth and the debts of the previous life were slowly diluted by the trivialities of life.
Chu Zhao then realized that she didn't have such a deep relationship with her brothers and sisters.
The elder sister would bully her and the younger sister was a scheming girl.
The elder brother only takes care of state affairs, and the younger brother is a naughty child.
Now, Chu Zhao has developed ambitions again, and her brothers and sisters have become her competitors and even enemies.
"Well! We must think of a way. How about finding an ally first?"
