Chapter 329 The Skinny Horse from Yangzhou Sent to Disrupt the Country (26)
Shi Qijin liked to conquer the world rather than defend it.
He enjoyed the thrill of conquering the world.
Let's leave those flowery conspiracies and struggles to Shi Wenjin and Shi Yanqing.
But now...
He couldn't help but wonder if only an emperor could get such a beauty without any constraints and scruples.
Shi Qi Jin's brows were as cold as ice. The usually hot-tempered Crown Prince said nothing for the first time in his life and just sat back in his seat.
The ministers watched in horror as Shi Qi Jin drank basket after basket of wine.
At the same time, Shi Yanqing and Shi Wenjin were discussing matters related to the Queen's coronation ceremony as if nothing had happened, as if they were completely unaware of the strange atmosphere in the hall.
This scene is so strange——
It was as if the entire hall was forcibly divided into several completely different worlds.
but......
Originally, everyone thought that there would be bloodshed at today's banquet.
It could be a violent conflict between the Regent and His Majesty, or it could be that the Crown Prince finally lost control of his anger and flew into a rage.
The bloody storm was caused by that imperial concubine...
Oh no, now she should be called the Queen——
And became inexplicably harmonious.
It's really confusing.
The person with a quick mind had his eyes flashing, and he didn't dare to speak or think anymore.
This Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, which should have been a family reunion and a celebration of the prince's triumphant return, ended in such a strange atmosphere.
The prosperity of the palace gradually faded away, but the Weiyang Palace was still brightly lit.
Shi Wenjin was unusually fierce today, even a little out of control to the point of being brutal.
The water in Weiyang Palace roared again and again.
Qingwu was in a good mood and cooperated with the frightened Shi Wenjin.
"Awu, Awu..."
Sweat dripped onto the delicate skin.
"Are you happy?"
Even though Shi Wenjin had a myriad of emotions in his heart, he still treated Qingwu gently and affectionately, doing so in a way that made Qingwu most comfortable.
At most, the actions are a bit 'brutal'.
The extreme physical comfort made Qing Wuqing involuntarily let out a moan.
She slowly opened her eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly, "Of course I am happy."
She was also very comfortable psychologically.
From a dying person to where she is today, she has stepped step by step onto the position of the most noble woman in the world.
Of course she was happy.
but......
Her goal is far more than that.
Her hand unconsciously stroked her belly.
The Queen still respected the Emperor.
Although she had this confidence, no matter who became emperor, it would not affect her status.
She could become the queen.
——But still subject to others' control.
Qingwu doesn't want to be controlled by others.
Qingwu has seen too much prosperity and witnessed the open and secret struggles of countless people.
Of course, she also enjoyed the benefits of holding power.
…but that’s not enough.
Only by taking control of your own destiny can you find the best solution to all problems.
The Queen was far from the end of her life.
She also wants to be the queen mother.
The Queen Mother who controls the entire dynasty.
She knew that she was not of royal blood and lacked the ability to govern the country, so it was impossible for her to ascend the throne.
She also didn't want to ascend the throne.
She just wants power, but doesn't want to work hard.
The hard work was done by Shi Yanqing, Shi Wenjin, Shi Qijin and others. She only needed to enjoy the best of everything and hold the imperial power in her hands.
That was her goal.
And they - must help her achieve this goal.
Qingwu moved her body slightly, but this tiny movement made Shi Wenjin even more excited.
"Wen Jin, you will help me, right?" Qing Wu asked softly, her beautiful eyes moving, as if containing thousands of words.
Shi Wenjin was completely bewitched by Qing Wumi.
He nodded without hesitation, his voice trembling slightly: "Of course, Awu, we are the best allies, and I am the most suitable man for you."
"I will help you achieve everything you want."
As long as you give me enough sweetness.
Qingwu's body became even softer.
......
At this moment, outside the Weiyang Palace, Shi Yanqing was standing there motionless, staring at the flickering candlelight inside the Weiyang Palace. His expression was difficult to read.
In the Prince's Eastern Palace, Shi Qi Jin had successfully obtained the layout of the entire Weiyang Palace.
He was a man who could break into the enemy camp alone and unnoticed, so a small Weiyang Palace was certainly no problem for him.
Shi Qi Jin waited for a long time, but he saw no sign of the movement in Weiyang Palace stopping.
Shi Qijin was extremely upset.
He thought with some malice, could Shi Wenjin, with her frail body, handle it?
Don't get squeezed dry.
And that...weak body.
Can you endure such a long period of torture?
...Then I'm sure I can handle him.
He is the most suitable one and he has a great body.
He is also young and more suitable for Qingwu.
......
Inside the Weiyang Palace, the flickering candlelight cast a warm yellow glow, casting a hazy veil over the entire space.
Qingwu sat in front of the dressing table, her figure graceful, like a painting of a classical lady.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down, and her charming face was reflected in the mirror. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes were affectionate, and her lips were red without any makeup.
Qingwu stretched out her jade-like fingers, gently picked up a golden hairpin, and fiddled with it in her hair, with a look of laziness and nobility in her eyes.
At this moment, the air in the hall seemed to freeze instantly.
A steady and powerful sound of footsteps came slowly from outside the hall, from far to near, and every step seemed to step on the heart of the people.
Qingwu paused.
There was no announcement, but these footsteps...
In the mirror, she could see the purple-robed prince standing tall and straight like a pine tree, his face stern, his eyes as deep as the abyss, staring at her quietly.
That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate her soul and see through the secrets deep in her heart.
Their eyes met in the air, and for a moment, the hall was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
Qingwu suddenly smiled, and that smile was as bright and dazzling as a blooming spring flower.
In stark contrast to her previous obedience, at this moment she finally revealed her deepest ambitions and desires.
He couldn't help but sigh, Yuefang Pavilion's training of her was truly remarkable. Over the years, countless gold, silver, and jewels had nourished her, making her like a phoenix that was meant to soar into the sky.
It also gave her ambition.
The ambition to not be a pawn.
Yes, how can the phoenix in the sky be someone else's pawn?
Shi Yanqing sighed.
"My Lord."
Qingwu still called him that.
But it reveals a seductive charm.
"What is the Lord going to do?"
