Chapter 215: Rumors
During this period of time, was Chi Ming's affection all fake?
Even she couldn't see through his lies. He was really too cunning.
She was too careless!
I didn't expect this to be a trap.
Chi Ming wanted her to enter the harem?
Dog man!
Your Majesty is older than Bai Changhao, right?
Even if she likes power, she won't be so desperate that she will eat anything.
Besides, His Majesty only has one year left to live.
Become a widow after marrying in?
If someone else is buried with her, will she have to go to hell and cry?
She won't compromise. She has chosen the wrong person.
The tears fell as soon as they fell, and Chi Ming was slightly stunned.
She sighed inwardly, she had actually thought of the wrong thing.
She immediately explained: "Not marrying someone else, but marrying me and becoming my queen."
"You should have more trust in me."
Wiping her tears, did she think I was going to push her out to someone else?
How could he bear to do that?
Hug the person in your arms and hold him tightly.
What kind of existence is he in her heart?
Is it really so unreliable?
When Bai Qinghuan heard this, she was so shocked by the huge contrast that she couldn't react for a moment, and her tears froze on her face.
It's neither falling nor falling, which is both funny and heartbreaking.
She looked at Chi Ming blankly, blaming him for not speaking clearly.
Even though she was pretending to shed tears, she had been up all night and it would have been very uncomfortable for her eyes.
But, being his queen?
"You want to usurp the throne?"
Her breathing became lighter, her hands still tightly grasping Chi Ming's collar.
This is a big deal!
I didn't realize he had such a rebellious streak.
Chi Ming kissed her slightly open mouth hard.
What is this little head thinking about?
"No, my brother wants to pass the throne to me."
Bai Qinghuan would be lying if she said she wasn't surprised. What was the emperor thinking?
Is he really imitating the abdication of Yao and Shun, or is he testing him?
He has two princes.
Chi Ming's succession to the throne is not legitimate!
"You agree?"
"not yet."
Bai Qinghuan lowered her eyelids and her mind became active.
If she really became a queen, she would be trapped within these four palace walls, and from then on there would be only a framed sky above her head.
But at the same time, she will also hold supreme power and truly be second only to the emperor.
Everyone in the world yearns for freedom, but isn’t the cornerstone of freedom powerful power?
Isn’t the premise of freedom that no one dares to bully you?
Thinking of this, the balance in her heart gradually tilted. If there really was such an opportunity, she would be willing to do it.
However, her long silence caused Chi Ming to misunderstand.
He thought Bai Qinghuan refused. She looked weak, but she was very determined inside.
He also knew that she preferred adventure and exciting things, and probably didn't like this lifeless palace.
I couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment flash across my face.
He stood up silently, quickly put his clothes in order, and whispered, "I know."
Then, he strode towards the door in a hurry, as if he was running away from something.
Bai Qinghuan looked at his departing back, full of confusion.
I didn't even say whether I was willing or not, but he knew it?
What does he know?
She sighed helplessly and thought, forget it, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
However, Chi Ming probably didn't just say casually about becoming the queen.
She also had another thing to worry about.
Breakfast was already prepared, and she ate it attentively.
Chi Ming walked to the door of the main hall, and Chi Yu just came out from inside, with tears and relief on his face.
When Chi Yu saw him, he was furious.
He walked up to him and kicked him.
"Chi Ming, you actually lied to me. When did my brother ever say this?"
Just now, she begged the emperor to take back his decision with tears in her eyes, and the emperor was completely confused.
Her kick didn't have much power, and to Chi Ming, it was just like a tickle.
He raised an eyebrow: "Why, are you disappointed?"
Chi Yu even swore:
"Disappointment, huh. Anyway, I won't be the one who suffers in the future."
She gave him a gloating look and quickly headed towards the palace gate as if a wolf was chasing her.
Chi Ming was hurt by his own sister and felt helpless.
You're walking so fast, are you in a hurry to find Li Chengrui?
Promising!
He walked in with a cold face, and what did he see?
The emperor and the queen were talking and laughing, looking very happy.
So he is the only one left alone in the family?
So all the work is left to him?
Who did he offend?
You can imagine how depressed he felt.
"well..."
The emperor and the queen heard the sigh and asked in unison: "What's wrong with you?"
The two people had the same expression, which made Chi Ming angry again.
He said unhappily, "It's okay."
He turned around and went to the imperial study to deal with memorials.
If you get busy, you don’t have to think about these things.
But the busier he was, the more frustrated he felt, because this was not his job.
He never had any idea about the throne.
I just hope that my brother will be able to appoint a crown prince one day so that I can lift the burden off my shoulders.
What he likes more is to gallop on the battlefield and protect Dongxi.
But now he is trapped here, troubled by Dongxi's political affairs.
He was full of worries and felt uneasy. He was thinking about Bai Qinghuan and was just about to go out to look for her again.
Just at this moment, Shu Feng hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in.
"My Lord, there is news coming from outside."
Shu Feng's breath was a little hurried, and there was a hint of nervousness in his words.
Chi Ming heard this, as if he had expected something, and sat back down again, asking, "What news?"
"Rumors are spreading all over the capital now. They all say that you, Your Highness, have poisoned the emperor and placed him under house arrest in an attempt to monopolize the government and usurp the throne."
Shu Feng finished speaking in one breath, with sweat already beading on his forehead.
Chi Ming was unusually calm, without any panic on his face, like a calm lake, without a single ripple. He spoke slowly and calmly, "Have you found the source of the rumor?"
"The secret guards have tried their best to track him down, but no news has been received yet."
Shu Feng felt that a storm was about to break out: "There must be someone behind this, otherwise how could the news in the palace spread out overnight."
"Yun Yizhi!"
Chi Ming murmured softly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Keep a close eye on Yun Yizhi and don't let him take even a single step out of the capital."
"Yes, I obey your command."
Shu Feng took the order and withdrew.
Chi Ming sat behind the imperial desk, anticipating what other tricks Yun Yizi might have.
I was thinking carefully about the countermeasures in my mind.
Also, Qinghuan doesn't want to be the queen, so he can't be the emperor. Who should he pass the throne to?
After thinking about all the young men of the Chi family, he couldn't find any one with outstanding abilities.
The only one who is still worth watching is Chi Songtao.
But he is a bit indecisive and not as good as Chi Zhuorui.
It's so worrying!
......
Within half a day, the rumor spread like wildfire in the capital, becoming more and more intense.
The entire capital city was shrouded in the shadow of this rumor, and everyone was discussing in panic the Regent's plan to murder the Emperor.
Some civil officials even united and knelt outside the imperial study, requesting to meet the emperor.
