Chapter 216: Concern over the Selection of Crown Prince
Chi Ming stepped out of the imperial study, stood on the nine steps that symbolized imperial power, and looked down at them from above.
Just a quick glance and he knew that these dozen or so were Yun Yizi's men.
He had never underestimated Yun Yizi's influence among the civil officials.
"You also think that this king intends to usurp the throne?"
The ministers were so frightened by his aura that they dared not even breathe.
Pretending to be calm, he tactfully requested, "Rumors are spreading everywhere outside. We naturally believe in the character of the prince, but as long as His Majesty comes to court, all the rumors will naturally be refuted, and the prince will be cleared of all charges."
"I second the motion and invite His Majesty to come to court."
Chi Ming snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Do you have to see the emperor today?"
The ministers were polite but firm in their tone: "Please grant me your permission, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is ill and should not meet with foreign ministers."
When they heard that he disagreed, the ministers also became strong:
"Is your Majesty going to act arbitrarily?"
"Yes, so what?"
What can the literati do?
"Then we will kneel down and not get up!"
The sound of knees hitting the floor continued to be heard, and each one was half a head shorter than before.
Chi Ming felt that these people were really pedantic and had no idea of their own life or death.
The Chi family has the final say in Dongxi, not them.
Just because you have a little power, you dare to act so arrogantly?
He can give rights, and he can also take them back!
His expression became colder and colder, looking at them as if they were dead people:
"If you want to kneel, then kneel!"
As he swung his sleeves, all the violent energy in his body burst out, and the strong wind that was formed made the ministers stagger all over the place.
"Come here, watch them. No one is allowed to get up without my order."
He turned around and left the palace and went to the County Lord's Mansion because Bai Qinghuan had already returned home.
If the ministers had not been kneeling, they would have probably fallen down.
Even so, my thighs were still shaking.
No one is not afraid of death!
The reputation of the God of Killing Chi Ming is not given out of thin air. At the border, it is said that in a battle, he can kill half of the enemy troops by himself.
That's how many heads.
They didn't dare to think about it, and lowered their heads like quails, not daring to even look at his back.
Only after they could no longer hear the footsteps did they breathe a sigh of relief, like fish pulled out of a bathtub, almost suffocating.
After taking a deep breath, they looked at each other in surprise. They never expected the Regent to react like this.
This is too cruel.
It's winter now and they are all old. How long can they keep kneeling?
Within two hours, many people fell down from the cold.
After receiving the news, Chi Ming felt no sympathy at all, nor did he ask anyone to send them home.
"It was their own choice to lie down."
Shu Feng asked, "My Lord, how many days?"
"Three days."
Yun Yizi's people are inflexible and are used as guns. They are dead if they die.
"yes."
He understood what the prince meant. As long as the person was alive, he had to stay outside the door of the imperial study for three days.
It doesn't matter if I die, because I will be beheaded anyway, so these three days won't make a difference if I die sooner or later.
Chi Ming stayed at Bai Qinghuan's Yaoguang Courtyard with peace of mind, eating, drinking and sleeping.
Spending some time with Bai Qinghuan from time to time makes my life so comfortable.
Bai Qinghuan was about to roll her eyes. This guy just refused to leave.
Although my mother doesn't come to her yard often, it would be a troublesome thing if she was discovered.
"You don't have to deal with memorials?"
"Just ask Shufeng to move in."
Bai Qinghuan rolled her eyes to the sky, this guy really doesn't treat himself as an outsider.
"What about the rumors in the capital?"
"No problem, wait for Yun Yizhi's next move."
"When all his cards are revealed, that's when I close the net."
Seeing that Chi Ming was confident, Bai Qinghuan did not ask any more questions.
Just stay here, it's just one more mouth to feed.
But Bai Qinghuan still discovered sadness in Chi Ming's eyes.
"Since everything is under your control, what are you worried about?"
"I am worried about the selection of the crown prince."
Bai Qinghuan blinked: "Didn't you say it was passed on to you? Then you should be the crown prince?"
Why appoint a crown prince?
Chi Ming sighed again and pinched his brows: "Don't you want to be the queen? Then why should I be the emperor?"
In his opinion, Bai Qinghuan is much more important than the throne.
How comfortable it would be if Bai Qinghuan and I could live in our own world forever.
While fighting on the battlefield and dealing with state affairs day and night, he had never thought that life could be like this.
This time, Bai Qinghuan was really shocked.
"Huh? Because of me?"
"What else?"
Chi Ming took the indigo from her hand and looked at her eyebrows carefully.
Bai Qinghuan raised an eyebrow: "When did I say I didn't want to be the queen?"
"Don't move, it's all crooked."
"Um?"
"What did you say?"
Bai Qinghuan repeated: "When did I say I didn't want to?"
Chi Ming's hand movements also stopped:
"Then you were..."
Bai Qinghuan asked back unhappily:
"I can't think for a while."
It's not a quick-answer question, there's time to think.
If she was asked to answer a question quickly, for example, if she had to choose within one second between being an old maid for life or being a queen, any hesitation on her part for even one ten-thousandth of a second would be disrespectful to the position of queen.
When Chi Ming heard this, the sadness between his brows instantly melted away and disappeared without a trace.
“Hehe~”
He laughed in a low voice for a long time. He was thinking in the wrong direction.
Qinghuan is willing.
She was willing to do it for him!
He took Bai Qinghuan's hands and looked straight into her eyes.
Seriously said: "Qinghuan, thank you!"
Thank her for believing him.
When he was happy, he hugged Bai Qinghuan and nibbled her, and Bai Qinghuan's resistance was ineffective...
After Chi Ming had enjoyed himself, he picked up the indigo again and said, "I'll paint it for you again."
It was also his first time to paint and he had no experience at all, but luckily his painting skills were pretty good.
In this way, after going over and over again for several times, I finally finished the painting.
"have a look."
He turned Bai Qinghuan's shoulder and let her look at herself in the bronze mirror.
"Is this Yuanshan Dai?"
"Well, it looks best when it's painted on your face."
Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her skin is like smiling peach blossoms, her hair is like floating clouds, and her eyes are like stars.
It is a unique joy in the world, belonging to him alone.
Bai Qinghuan narcissistically admired her own face from all angles: "Nice craftsmanship."
Chi Ming understood what he meant and blurted out, "You are good-looking, and the eyebrows I drew are just the icing on the cake."
Bai Qinghuan smiled happily after hearing this and kissed Chi Ming on the face.
"Is this little mouth filled with honey today? It's so sweet."
"Why don't you try it and know?"
He took the initiative and attacked, Bai Qinghuan was defeated and even her lip balm wasted.
The result was that Chi Ming put lip balm on her again.
After applying it, he touched his lips, with a turbulent tide in his eyes.
