Chapter 328 The Skinny Horse from Yangzhou Sent to Disrupt the Country (25)
There is no one playing the chess game; everyone is just a passer-by in this game.
Qingwu used herself as bait, weaving not a love web, but a dragnet that enveloped the entire royal family.
And Shi Yanqing, since the day he first met her, had willingly stepped into the trap she set.
The person he spent ten years cultivating was himself a drug that broke his soul and heart.
Shi Yanqing suddenly laughed, and there was a sense of relief and melancholy in his laughter.
It turns out that the most ingenious chess game is never about pressing forward step by step, but about letting the opponent block his retreat routes one by one without him realizing it.
And he even willingly accepted the reason for joining the game.
I enjoy it very much.
That graceful...
What does she want?
Queen?
I'm afraid it's more than that!
When Yan Qing sighed, Shi Qi Jin's reaction was extremely violent. He jumped up from his seat like an enraged lion, his face full of anger, and even his neck turned red with anger.
"You actually want to make her the queen?" Shi Qijin's voice echoed in the court, filled with disbelief and strong dissatisfaction. "Why?"
Why can you marry her as queen?
Obviously he can also...
A secret desire flashed through his mind, but the prince, who had never known love, had not yet realized it.
However, in the eyes of the ministers, Shi Qijin's actions were undoubtedly a blatant rebellion against the emperor's orders.
The prince was extremely dissatisfied and on the verge of a fight.
Yes, the late emperor's decision to make brothers become father and son was too absurd.
Now, Shi Wenjin has found a mother of similar age for Shi Qijin.
No one can accept this.
It's okay if there's no prince or princess yet, but if there is one...
Is it better to call the crown prince "royal brother" or "royal uncle"?
Just like Shi Qijin calls Shi Yanqing...
Oh, that’s not right. Shi Qi Jin has never addressed Shi Yanqing properly.
These ridiculous things are just one round after another.
I thought Shi Wenjin would be a law-abiding emperor, but his actions were so unconventional...
After all, he was a king from the Dashi Dynasty.
The emperor's words are as good as gold, and the king never jokes.
Since the Emperor has said—
It's a done deal.
Unless someone else takes the throne.
Everyone's eyes swept over Shi Qijin's furious face, and then cautiously peeked at Shi Yanqing's expression.
Shi Qijin has soldiers at his disposal. If he gets irritated, he'll do whatever it takes.
Who else can stop all this without bloodshed at this time? It can only be the Regent.
But he saw that the Regent had a complicated expression, which was deeper and more serious than ever before.
His thick brows were furrowed, and there was a storm in his eyes, which were terrifyingly deep and serious, like the depression before the storm.
Looking straight at——
Today's imperial concubine, future queen.
Qingwu sat at the very top, her gorgeous clothes glittering, and her shoulders embellished with oriental pearls swaying gently with her movements, making her look even more noble and elegant.
Perhaps it was because they were connected or her keen intuition detected the fiery gaze, but she suddenly turned her head slightly and looked at Shi Yanqing with her autumn-water eyes.
Looking into Shi Yanqing's eyes, there were too many complicated emotions hidden in them, including the sting of betrayal, unspeakable bitterness, and an almost obsessive attachment to the woman in front of him that even he himself had not noticed.
It is the deepest love.
There was no resentment of being fooled.
Qingwu curled her lips and smiled directly at Shi Yanqing.
The curve of the corners of her lips seemed to carry three parts of cunning and seven parts of gentleness, just like the smile she had when she first met him.
Shi Yanqing's finger bones moved slightly, and his hand, which was just covered in blood, miraculously felt that the wound was healing.
He finally understood.
Forget it, just give Qingwu whatever she wants.
It’s better for him to give it than for Shi Wenjin to give it.
If he gave it to her, he could still fight for the most important position in Qingwu's heart.
He wanted to let Qingwu know that he was the most suitable one for her.
Only he can satisfy Qingwu's every need.
Even though it is pure and charming——
What I want is this world.
When I think of him, Yan Qing was arrogant all his life, but he never expected that he would be defeated by a woman in the end.
But he - enjoyed it.
For Qingwu, he was willing to change from being a knife-holder to being a knife in her hand, to eliminate everything for her.
But Qingwu also had to give him some benefits that were enough to move him.
Otherwise, even he would be unhappy.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shi Yanqing sighed.
He looked directly at Shi Wenjin and asked calmly, "So, when will the ceremony for the empress's coronation be held?"
Shi Wenjin naturally noticed the hideous scar on Shi Yanqing's palm. He just raised his eyebrows slightly, suppressed the deep smile in his eyes, and then calmly replied:
"Of course, the sooner the better. It's a good day, and everything must be done to the best of my ability. Only then can I be worthy of my Awu."
Humph, your Awu?
Hearing the words "my Awu", Shi Yanqing couldn't help but sneer.
The Empress's dignity is equal to that of the Emperor.
If Qingwu really ascends to the throne, then she will be the queen of the world, not just Shi Wenjin.
The ministers looked at each other, confused by the secret messages between the Regent and His Majesty.
I dare not say a word.
Even if some smart people know it, they dare not know it.
Only Shi Qi Jin understood something.
What's the meaning?
This concubine...
Oh no, she's the queen now.
On the surface, she is about to become Shi Wenjin's wife, so why is she still entangled with Shi Yanqing?
The Shi Dynasty had such a previous emperor, and everyone was actually indifferent to the concept of ethics and morality.
Moreover, the children of the Shi family have the blood of using any means to achieve their goals running in their bones.
They can give up everything without hesitation in pursuit of what they desire most.
To put it nicely, they are as sincere as a moth to a flame.
To put it bluntly, there are some psychological problems.
So when Shi Qijin thought about the fact that Qingwu had already established a connection with both Shi Yanqing and Shi Wenjin, his first reaction was—
If that's the case, why not add him?
He is also the crown prince of the Dashi Dynasty and the future emperor.
Although Shi Qijin never cared about this title, he also did not want to govern the country.
He only likes to fight on the battlefield and experience the pleasure brought by blood and violence.
