After leaving the mansion, he never went back. Qi Yue found him and said that the old man was seriously injured, but not dead, and Qi Xiao saved him! He sighed, so he couldn't go home now. After receiving the letter from King Xiang, he left the capital according to the plan agreed in advance.
He wanted to take over the Qi family army as the Marquis of Zhenyuan, with the military token, and then bring it back to the foot of the capital to make plans.
By then, the old man will be helpless against him. If he fails before returning, it will be even easier. He is followed by Qi Yue and two experts as guards, and no one can see him! If he succeeds, his contribution will be much greater than before! He was excited, his eyes sparkled, and he didn't feel tired at all!
As we were walking on a road through a dense forest, suddenly, several horses in front blocked our way.
"Qi Youduan, where are you going?"
Qi Youduan was startled, took a closer look, and yelled, "Qi Wu!? Why are you here?"
Qi Wu smiled faintly at him, followed by Mu Bo, Zhang Yuan and several men in black. "Zhang Yuan, Qi Yue is here. Leave Qi Youduan to me!" Without saying a word, he started fighting.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Youduan softened immediately, "Qi Yang, Xiao Wu!! The past is over, no matter what she did, she is dead! You should calm down now! The Qi family's stability and prosperity are the most important, right?"
He was very sincere: "Before, no matter who was targeting whom, let it go. Let's all look forward, okay? I want the title of Zhenyuan Marquis to plan big things. Now, it's almost done! I swear to the sky that after it's done, I will return the title to the first wife! Otherwise, I will not die a good death, okay? Now is the time..."
Qi Wu didn't allow him to talk any more and started beating him.
Zhang Yuan had been staring at Qi Yue for a long time! He hated him the most in his heart, so he didn't say anything and just chopped with a knife! Grandfather... your grandson will avenge you! Qi Yue was furious: "You dog slave, how dare you?" The two started fighting.
…
Every family in the capital is very cautious, fearing that some relative or friend might bring them into trouble.
The only thing that shines is gold.
His grandfather was really a real talent! That group of people, wow, who wouldn't drool when seeing them?! I am his only grandson, and the glory belongs to me!
Not only did he think so, his relatives and friends also thought so. As soon as the streets were peaceful, they pushed their children and grandchildren over to flatter him.
Now Jinzi is very proud of himself. Tian is the boss and he is the second in command.
Sitting in the middle, a group of younger brothers were serving tea and water, some were rubbing shoulders, some were beating legs, and if it wasn't hot, some were fanning themselves. He crossed his legs, with a smug look on his face: "I told you guys a long time ago not to look down on me! Don't laugh at me! Are you going to behave yourself now?"
Everyone nodded and complimented him: "Brother Jinzi will be our boss from now on, we will all listen to you!"
The more they talked, the more excited they became. Finally, someone said, "Even if it's Duanmu, I have to politely call you Big Brother when I see you next time!"
"Uh..." Jinzi hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself: It seems that this can work, right? "Brother Jinzi!" A familiar voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Don't wait until later, I'll call you now, please answer!"
Jinzi jumped up from his chair.
…
Wen Yucai was too impatient to take care of the affairs in the mansion, so seeing that Zhang Moqing was in good spirits, she threw everything to her.
Zhang Moqing stayed on the front line despite being pregnant. She was very proud of herself with the right cards and surrounded by people.
"Oh! There's also Li Qun. I almost forgot about him. Laba, take someone to check him out..."
As a result, when Laba came back, he brought bad news.
"As soon as the streets calmed down, one of the Zhou family's sons left. Then, someone saw Mr. Zhou also go out in a small car. We ran to the city gate to ask, but the gate was strictly checked and we found out that they both went out, but the father and son did not go out of the same gate!"
"He ran away?" Wen Yu regretted it, "Why did I let him run away? What should I do? What should I do? Laba, go talk to Mr. Hu... No, Mr. Hu has something important to do. Duanmu... Oh, right, Duanmu has something to do too. My cousin is also bringing people to follow the prince! Oh my God, why are there so many things?"
This person is so cunning! Just run away? ...
The prince is methodical in his work, and Li Qihuan is well-versed in government affairs, and the father and son work together in perfect harmony.
He Ge Lao was placed under house arrest because of Prince An's affairs. Li Ge Lao jumped out and brought his own direct lineage to serve the prince wholeheartedly, so the affairs of the court were handled very smoothly.
Li Qiru, except for a few confidants who were deeply rooted, all the others had just come here at the emperor's instruction, and they were definitely not reliable enough. At this time, they all seemed to be trying to protect themselves.
He was very angry...
All the affairs of the court have been resolved, but the royal family and several important elders have to stay and discuss things.
But at this moment, the eunuch beside the emperor came in and shouted: "The emperor wants everyone to come over!"
The prince raised his eyebrows. Awake? Li Qihuan helped him out of the door. There was a little eunuch at the door, who whispered something to Li Qihuan.
…
The emperor was awake, but half of his body was cold and unconscious. This frightened him, but he was the emperor after all, so he calmed down immediately. The eunuch reported to him what had happened.
Hearing what the Queen had said, the Emperor was furious. He immediately called the Duke of Xingguo and arranged the personnel. Then he went to invite the Queen in...
When the queen knew that the emperor had woken up, she sighed: He really can wake up!
When the emperor saw her, he was slurring his words and cursing...
The Queen looked confused: "Your Majesty, you were talking about the Crown Prince! How could I spread such an important matter?"
The emperor pointed at her angrily and mumbled something, extremely furious.
The queen knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, calm down! No matter what happens, you have to take care of yourself first. I swear I heard you correctly, and the crown prince is the heir apparent you personally appointed. For so many years, you have never thought of deposing him. So, when you need him, isn't it natural for the crown prince to supervise the country?! At that time, Duke Xingguo and Prince Xiang were there, and they didn't object!"
Duke Xingguo had no expression: I didn’t hear it, I don’t know!
"You!" The emperor wanted to point at the queen and curse her, but he couldn't even lift his dominant hand.
"Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. I have no vested interest in the Crown Prince. How could I deliberately say something wrong? If I was talking about Prince An, it would be considered that I had selfish motives... But the Crown Prince... I am really wronged!"
When Li Qiru saw that the emperor had woken up, he rushed to the emperor's bedside and said, "Grandfather!" His voice trembled and his eyes were filled with tears.
His prayers were heard by God.
Did you see that? He is the man destined by heaven! The prince also came to the bedside and said in a gentle voice: "Father, God bless our emperor! You are awake!"
The feeling of being on the verge of death; half of the body unable to move; the prince going with the flow; the person he liked being forced into a corner; the approval of the ministers in the court; all these had formed a knot in the emperor's heart.
He looked at the prince with eyes as sharp as knives and arrows: "Tie it... wash it!" He wanted to show contempt, but his words and expression could not keep up.
The prince understood and nodded: "Father's recovery is a blessing to the world, and I am naturally surprised..."
The emperor didn't have much to say, so he simply stopped talking. He turned around, looked at Duke Xingguo and said, "...the prince and...Guan." He looked at Li Qihuan.
Li Qiru couldn't control his laughter.
The prince stood up and looked at Duke Xingguo.
Duke Xingguo felt the gazes of the two men, one was like an ice knife, and the other was like emptiness. He didn't dare to guess what was in it, and didn't know how to react, so he didn't move.
The prince turned around and said with a smile: "Father, you just woke up, don't be anxious. Let's talk about these things after you recover!"
The emperor said coldly: "Li Jian!" That was the name of Duke Xingguo.
Li Qiru looked at the performance of Duke Xingguo and was a little confused. He couldn't help but say, "Duke Xingguo, the emperor's instructions are very clear. There won't be any misunderstandings, right?!" After saying that, he glanced lightly at the queen standing beside him.
"..." Seeing him being so presumptuous, the Queen was so angry that her face turned red. No wonder she had to do this even though there was no benefit for her. This bastard is so annoying!
Li Qihuan suddenly took action, grabbed Li Qiru by the collar, and pulled him out!
Li Qiru's skills were no match for his. He took a few steps back and fell backwards, and was actually dragged out by Li Qihuan.
Shouting, "Grandfather, save me!"
The emperor was furious and tried to get up... but couldn't.
Pointing at the prince, he called the Duke of Xingguo: "Li Jian..."
As a result, Duke Xingguo reluctantly stepped forward, took the emperor's hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, no matter who this kingdom is given to, it will be your descendants, not outsiders. His Royal Highness is a legitimate son, and he has saved you from a disaster. For so many years, he has been loyal to the emperor and worked hard despite his illness, without any mistakes. Now, the most important thing for you is to take care of your health, so don't worry about so much!"
"You? What did you say?" The emperor was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly.
Duke Xingguo smiled bitterly and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. So do I. You, please be more positive!" He felt very sad. Just now, Li Qihuan came up to him and only said two words to him: gold.
What could he do? The emperor stared at him blankly. This was the person he trusted the most! He had his back.
“You…” The emperor’s eyes went dark and he passed out again.
The prince nodded to Duke Xingguo: "Duke Xingguo is clear-minded and has a good character and is impeccable in his conduct. I believe that God will also bless him and bring blessings to future generations!"
Duke Xingguo almost cried: "Thank you, Prince, for your words of wisdom!"
…
The emperor remained in a coma for two days and then passed away.
On the eve of the crown prince's accession to the throne, someone hung the head of the King of Wu on the palace gate.
After the crown prince ascended the throne, he issued a general amnesty, and even Prince An was placed under house arrest. As long as you don't think about anything else, you won't have to worry about life.
If it weren't for a series of major events such as the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the Qi family's affairs would have been quite sensational.
Qi Hou recovered, but was irritated by the old man Cui who came to visit him. Old man Cui still felt wronged: "God and heaven are my conscience, I have nothing but good words for him, I have full of sympathy for him, I didn't mean to laugh at him at all, no one is a god, everyone will be persecuted and do stupid things. I am no exception! Why is he so angry? This person is simply unreasonable! Alas!"
After Li Danniu died, she was divorced and had no tablet, so she could not be buried in the ancestral tomb.
The life and death of Qi Youduan and Qi Yue are unknown, and there has been no news of them since then.
Qi Yang took over the Qi family army with the military token and settled them down. He was unable to return even when the new emperor ascended the throne.
Qi Youyi chose Aunt Xiuyun over the Qi family. Wen Yu asked them to leave the house immediately and not take anything with them! When this matter got out, Wen Yu was scolded for a long time by the noble ladies who were jealous of her.
Qi Hua got a share of the property, left the Qi family, and never heard from again. Xiao Mao was properly taken care of by Mrs. Qi.
Zhu returned to her parents' home with her dowry, while Liu returned to the northwest alone, preparing to take her two young sons back to her parents' home.
...One month after the new emperor ascended the throne, he gave up the throne to his only son Li Qihuan. He said: "It's good to experience the feeling for a while! Next, I have to take good care of myself and wait for my grandson to be born!" Since then, he lived in a separate courtyard with Yibai and Lanzhou. The three patients kept each other company and lived happily.
Li Qihuan was not polite, he sat on the dragon throne and made the soon-to-be-born General Pingting the queen! Duke Xingguo was completely retired, and the title of Duke Xingguo was given to Jinzi. He received a lot of rewards! But he handed over the 8,000 soldiers in his hands to Duanmu. Even Duanmu, who was not stingy, was very happy with the seal and military token!
As soon as Qi Wuyi came back, he was named Duke of Ping by the new emperor, and Wen Yu was named Lady of Ping! From then on, this beautiful lady of the Duke, who no one dared to mess with, lived a happy life with the handsome Duke!
