Chapter 354: The Demeanor of Defeat



I'm really worried about the prince's recovery.

When I went there, I saw the Crown Prince and Yibai playing chess, while the Crown Prince was half lying on the couch beside them, watching them, covered with a thin quilt and smiling.

Seeing them coming, Yi Bai breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to follow him!

Qi Wu and his wife saluted the prince, and the prince pointed to a chair and said, "Sit down!"

"How do you feel, Your Highness?"

"I haven't felt this light and brisk for a long time. Food tastes delicious too... I haven't taken medicine for three days." The prince was very satisfied.

The Crown Prince then said: After taking the medicinal bath for three days, the Crown Prince felt very comfortable.

Doctor Huang analyzed the materials and guessed the general idea. After thinking for a long time, he wrote a prescription and handed it to the imperial physician, hoping that there would be no problem.

From then on, the prince would take a bath once every ten days.

The past two days have been leisurely, either the father and son chat, or call Yi Bai to chat together.

When the prince couldn't sleep well, Yibai would play a song.

When the crown prince heard that Yi Bai was an excellent chess player, he was eager to play a game with him.

As a result, the father and son discovered that when Yi Bai played the piano, his hair was disheveled, he looked free and easy, and he looked like an immortal.

However, once he sat behind the chessboard, his demeanor changed. Not only did he play without mercy, but he also looked impatient and even spoke in a bad mood...

As expected, the Crown Prince was defeated repeatedly, and still not giving up, he asked Yi Bai what level he was at... Yi Bai replied calmly: "You are slightly better than General Duanmu... only slightly!"

The prince was so angry that he pointed at him and couldn't say anything, while the prince laughed beside him. He laughed a lot these days, and the depression in his heart really eased a lot.

Wen Yu and Qi Wu still had to go to their uncle's house, so they didn't eat here. They just glanced at Master Qing and were about to leave.

The crown prince also followed out and said to the two men, "Xiao Wu, I want to go back to the East Palace."

Qi Wu thought silently for a while, "Your Highness, no matter what, we have only passed a level, and it is not the time for us to do whatever we want. You must try to restrain yourself."

"I know. But some things cannot be weighed in this way. Don't worry, I know what is best for my father."

After saying this, the prince got into the car and left.

The Crown Princess was knocked unconscious by the Crown Prince that day, sent back to the room, and locked up.

When she woke up, she was scared and regretful, ashamed and angry.

How is the prince? I hope he is not really dead!

And that matter, how did Li Qihuan solve it? Did he, did he touch that thing?

This bastard, doesn't he know how critical the situation is? He actually locked me up instead of discussing it with me!

What on earth was he thinking?! This bastard!

The entire East Palace was sealed off, and the gates were guarded by guards. At a certain time, food would be delivered to her courtyard. When the food was delivered, the guards followed. She asked if there was any news about the prince, but no one dared to answer! She had never been through this before! She was so anxious that she asked the female official next to her to break through the door. As a result, the guards at the gate drew their swords and chopped her down!

"Okay! If you dare to chop her, chop me too!"

She took on the aura of a Crown Princess and took action personally.

After a long fight at the door, they refused to open it. She tried to rush out while the food was being delivered, but a woman (Laba Senior Sister) jumped out from the security guards and "invited" her back.

At this moment, the Crown Princess was pacing around the room like a trapped beast. If there was no news by now, then her husband was still alive.

What if he recovered? What if he died? Unable to come up with a good idea, he cursed Li Qihuan in his heart, who am I working so hard for? If either of them had listened to me, they wouldn't have come to this! In this way, Li Qihuan worked tirelessly to save the prince.

She was worried about her future and couldn't sleep.

Finally, the gate opened and Li Qihuan came in.

A few soldiers followed behind him, carrying a large box and placing it at the door. Then, the soldiers pushed and shoved the servants in the yard out.

"Huan'er, how is your father?" The Crown Princess asked anxiously when she saw him coming.

Li Qihuan did not answer, but stood there straight, silently watching his men drive everyone out...

"Lee Ki-hwan! I'm talking to you! How is he?" The Crown Princess covered up her inner nervousness with anger.

After everyone had left and the gate was closed, Li Qihuan sat down in the main seat and looked at her silently.

"Can't you hear your mother talking?" The Crown Princess felt that she had to lose the battle rather than lose face.

Li Qihuan said slowly, "Father, with the protection of the gods and Buddhas, and with a son like me who sacrificed my life for him, he has recovered from this disaster."

When the Crown Princess heard this, she suddenly relaxed.

Look up to the sky, well... as long as he is alive, there is still hope.

The Crown Princess also sat down and looked at her son. She quickly thought about it in her heart for a while and lowered her attitude: "Huan'er...you must remember that no matter what your mother does, it is for your own good. Your mother only has you as her son. If not for you, who else can she do it for?

Li Qihuan nodded, "Indeed."

The Crown Princess was even more relieved: "It can be said that your mother has contributed 70% of your father's ability to survive until today! Especially, we gave birth to you! This is 90% of my credit! So... no matter who says I'm wrong, it's not your turn to be rude to me!"

She suddenly became excited, and her eyes became red as she thought of all the difficulties she had gone through over the past twenty years.

Li Qihuan remained silent.

"For you, whether in daily life, studies, or socializing, your mother has worked hard and never neglected you at all. Do you recognize that?"

Li Qihuan also nodded, "That's true."

The Crown Princess snorted in her heart: You know all this, then why did my mother and I end up in this mess?

You said I was greedy for power, but aren't you? He cursed in his heart, but his face was still sad: "Mother knows that you are not happy about letting you marry Xue Ying. But at the beginning, Xue Ying was beautiful, bright, smart and filial, and her heart and eyes were full of you. Was mother wrong to choose her?!"

Li Qihuan fell silent.

The Crown Princess shook her head and smiled bitterly, "This is indeed the problem between us mother and son! Alas, in fact, mother didn't know that she was such an intolerant person. After this incident, I have come to terms with it. If you really can't live with her... she was married to you by mother, so let mother solve it?"

Li Qihuan smiled: "How do you solve this? Kill her and replace her with another girl from the Xue family?"

The Crown Princess sat proudly: "Li Qihuan, I do things, whether good or bad, openly and honestly!"

Li Qihuan opened his eyes wide and looked at his "upright" mother.

The Crown Princess didn't look at him. "At first, your father was in poor health and was just an ordinary prince. There was a crown prince in the court, and the emperor liked the prince Xiang. The mother of the king of Wu was also very stable in the palace. Later, your father became the crown prince. The Xue family made great efforts! I, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, also contributed to it! The Xue family worked hard, how could they not have any ulterior motives? But even if they had any ulterior motives, they didn't think about things they shouldn't think about! Isn't it a new deal for the mother to promote them? All of this is for you?! Do you think that you and your father can accomplish anything just by relying on your father's title of crown prince without anyone's help?"

She looked as if she was disappointed with someone.

Li Qihuan lowered his eyelids.

The Crown Princess felt that she had said enough, and too much is as bad as too little, so she sighed again: "How about this, wait until everything is settled this time. Xue Ying, mother will handle it. Then, you can decide who will be the principal wife! If you like the concubine, you can also make some arrangements to make her the principal wife in the future. However, the Xue family must have another legitimate daughter. Mother doesn't care about the title of the concubine. What do you think of this?"

Li Qihuan suddenly felt a little sad. Xue Ying, she had watched her grow up since she was a child, and she loved her very much and always brought her with her.

But at this moment, she said she would give it up without any hesitation.

When her father got in her way, she poisoned him.

If I don't listen to her...she will kill me too, and then she still has my illegitimate son in her hands...

Haha, as expected, power can change a person beyond all recognition...

The Crown Princess was still trying to persuade him: "Everyone in the world is here for profit. Even if they are relatives, who can be sincere to you if you don't give them benefits? You..."

"Mother, come here, I'll show you something."

Li Qihuan stood up, made a please gesture, and then walked out the door first.

The Crown Princess didn't know what was going on, so she followed him out.

There was a big box at the door.

Li Qihuan took the initiative and opened the lid of the box...

The Crown Princess leaned over to take a look, screamed, stepped back, and almost fell! "Asshole! What did you do?" She was scared to death.

Li Qihuan grinned: "Mother, don't you recognize me? Look at this satin-like black hair, tall figure, slender and strong fingers...won't you savor it again?"

The Crown Princess was stunned. This was him?! That horrifying scene...

She turned around subconsciously and ran into the house. Her face turned pale, and after running a few steps, she fell to the ground, then opened her mouth and vomited continuously.

Li Qihuan looked at the inhuman thing in the box with vicious and disgust, closed the lid, turned around and followed into the house...

"I never thought that my mother had a soft-hearted and affectionate side. After using this kind of bastard, instead of cleaning him up, she kept him in a beautiful house. Waiting for someone to find him out?"

The Crown Princess vomited for a long time, wiped her mouth, and asked in a low voice: "When did you know?!"

Li Qihuan was filled with rage and wished he could kill her himself: "Mother, how could you bear to do this to father...how dare you!" He grabbed the Crown Princess by the neck.

The Crown Princess had experienced this once and was almost frightened to death.

Li Qihuan loosened his hand again and took out the letter from his arms, "You always think you are a phoenix, but in fact, you are just a yellow bird. Behind the yellow bird there is a snake, and behind the snake there is an eagle. Dong Zhanshi is dead..."

The Crown Princess stared, and quickly sorted out the relationship...

"He wrote this letter before he died. It tells how you usurped power in the East Palace, how the Crown Prince was incapable of restraining you, and how the Crown Prince was foolishly obedient. It also tells how you betrayed the Crown Prince and had an affair with a wild man, and wrote down this address and person. It also mentioned that you forced him to do something, and you were afraid that the document could not be submitted, so you asked him for poison and gave it to your father."

"Slander! This is slander, he is slandering me!" The Crown Princess screamed, her face full of tears, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Mother, you claim to be extremely talented. Then, if you lose, you should also have the grace to lose! After all, you want to emulate Empress Wu!"

That’s a lot of words…
