Qin Qi turned around and saw Prime Minister Liu He rushing over, panting. As he rushed over, he said,"Chief Qin, you're walking too fast. My old bones can't catch up…"”Qin Qi stopped and asked.
Liu He also stopped and rested for a while. He looked around and whispered," Are you really going to do what you did today?"”
He pointed in the direction of Yongning Palace.
Qin Qi knew that Liu He was asking about the empress dowager wanting him to go to Tai He Palace to check on Qin Feng's injuries, so he replied faintly,"Since we've already reached this point, there's no problem with doing it."”
Liu He looked a little embarrassed." She is a woman who is particularly stubborn about power. Although I also want to support you to ascend to the throne, she has the imperial edict given by the late emperor, so I didn't dare to tell her just now..."
Qin Qi turned his head and looked at the white sky again. There was no other emotion in his eyes." I know. I'm not blaming you. You have to take your time. There's no hurry."”
The Prime Minister sighed and looked at the direction of the Yongning Palace." She is my elder sister. I know her best. In the early years, before she entered the palace, she had already shown a passion for power that was different from ordinary women. She entered the palace and won the favor of the late emperor with her tricks. She became the Empress and supported the Liu family single-handedly, making us the strongest consorts. In the end, she didn't know that the Liu family had helped her a lot. She has brought us many things. Even the position of Prime Minister is only stable today because of her secret support.”
When Liu He talked about the Empress Dowager and his sister, he seemed to have a thousand words to say. In the end, he sighed heavily." Unfortunately, what the heavens give to people will never be perfect. What you get, you lose…She wanted a child so much, but she never got it. She tried so many prescriptions, but she never got pregnant. If she really had a little prince of her own, the situation would probably be different now. You can see how glorious she looks on the surface, but it might be difficult for her in the dark. She clung onto the political power so tightly that she probably wanted to find peace in her heart…I abandoned her to help you because I didn't want to see her lose her power in the end. She has sacrificed so much for the Liu family and the late emperor. I don't want her to have no one to rely on in her old age. If you become the king of Qin, she will still be the empress dowager with the highest position and can live a peaceful life, right?”
Qin Qi turned around and looked at this 50-year-old man who was full of hope for him. He nodded gently." Didn't I promise you all this a long time ago?”
"I understand. In the future, I will do my best to make her give up on Qin Feng and choose you."”
Thinking about this, Liu He remembered why he chased after her and asked,"If that's the case, why did you agree to marry Qin Feng?"”
Liu He waited for a long time before Qin Qi answered slowly," Because, just a few months ago, I found my destiny.”"Destiny?" Liu He mulled over these words." All of you are destined to take that position and continue what the Xianye Commandery Prince failed to do back then, right?”Liu He said.
Back then, the Xianye Commandery Prince and the late Emperor, who was still the Crown Prince, had fought for the throne. The two were evenly matched, each with a position of their own, and their talents were equal.
Just as the old Emperor was at a loss, Xianye Commandery Prince suddenly withdrew from the contest. He handed over all the military power in his hands, left the capital, and spent the best years of his life in a fief far away from the regime. It is still a strange story.
When he left Yan Tan, he didn't take anything with him. Someone heard him laugh loudly and say," The destiny belongs to me, the destiny belongs to me!"”
A sleeve with a cool breeze, half a book of poetry, like a scholar in the bamboo forest, a Taoist in the temple, unrestrained and unrestrained.
He truly lived up to his title of Xianye Commandery Prince.
From then on, his image of treating the powerful as grass was widely spread in the Nine Kingdoms, and he was the object of worship by many scholars.
Liu He recalled this and sighed in his heart. It was a pity that no matter how much the heavens gave, they would take back the same amount. The widely praised Xianye Junwang in the fief had passed away early. The Xianye Junwang Fei also died of depression very soon, leaving behind only one son, Qin Qi.
When the Emperor learned that his nephew had lost his parents, he was very sympathetic and brought Qin Qi back to the capital, leaving him in the care of the Empress who had no children.
When Qin Qi was five years old, he left the capital with his father. When he returned, he was already fifteen years old. In a short ten years, many lives had been lost.
At that time, Qin Qi, who had come to the capital, was not as mature as he was now. However, from his brows, one could tell that he had an extraordinary temperament.
The fifteen-year-old boy was quiet and often thought about things alone. He did not like to talk to others.
Back then, she had thought that this was his original appearance.
In the end, he was the complete opposite of his father, who had abandoned the throne. He had been lying low and accumulating strength just to get the throne.
The motto of the Xianye Commandery Prince,'Destiny is the Destiny', made him suddenly realize that he had abandoned countless rights and glory overnight.
Many years later, his son returned with the words " Destiny's Return " he had personally written. He wanted to complete what he had not completed that day and fight for the throne.
Who could guess and explain the fate and destiny in the unseen world?
After seeing through the impermanence of the world, Liu He only wanted to live the second half of his life in peace. The first half of his life was already the head of all officials and he enjoyed everything that he should enjoy. As long as there were no storms and waves in the second half of his life, he could enjoy his grandchildren.
As his thoughts turned to this point, Liu He heaved a sigh of relief and waited for the person in front of him to answer.
It seemed like Qin Qi thought for a long time before he finally chose his words. He said," Everyone knows that my parents were deeply in love with each other. After my father passed away, my mother also passed away. However, they don't know that the reason why my father made the painful decision to leave the capital and say 'destiny' was mostly because of my mother.
My mother, those few years she spent in the capital…she was very unhappy, so in the end, my father took her away from that place that made her depressed and never returned.”
Liu He nodded and continued," The relationship between Xianye Junwang and his wife is indeed as strong as gold and stone. It turns out that the reason why Xianye Junwang abandoned his fame and fortune and left the capital for ten years was because of Xianye Junwang Fei…" Speaking of this, Liu He recalled what Qin Qi had said about finding the destiny and suddenly realized," So both grew up! You've found your sweetheart!"
He chuckled and rubbed his hands together due to the cold from standing for a long time." I wonder which family's young lady is lucky enough to be pitied.”
Qin Qi also smiled." Her status is not something that ordinary young ladies can compare to..."
Liu He was just about to ask if she must be a heavenly beauty, but he suddenly paused. He felt ashamed that this junior had gotten him into trouble again." But what does this have to do with that consort?”
Qin Qi still maintained the smile that appeared because he had thought of the person he liked, but his tone had lowered." There are always some things that can't be handled perfectly and properly. Since we can't do it directly, we can only take a detour!”
After saying that, he left the confused Liu He and left.
Liu He shook his head and left as well. As expected of someone who wanted to be the ruler of a country, his attitude was so free. As he spoke, he was unconsciously brought in. Or was he already old?
As he shook his head, he thought of the matter of the ginger soup and the cotton-padded clothes today. He walked toward the Circular Mound Altar to see how they were doing.
Imperial Physician Zhao frowned and walked around Qin Feng's palace. Sometimes he would look at Qin Feng's injuries.
Qin Feng smiled weakly.”
Imperial Physician Zhao turned around and blew his beard in anger." But, it's already been eight hours. Your Majesty, your injuries have not shown any signs of improvement. Instead, they have worsened…"
Qin Feng was touched. There were still people who cared about him in this world…
At this moment, the sound of footsteps approached. Zhao Ping turned around and asked," Governor Liu is here?”
Seeing Qin Qi walk over, Imperial Physician Zhao quickly blocked him and raised his voice to let Qin Feng hear him.”
Qin Qi was not annoyed by Imperial Physician Zhao's words." I heard that His Majesty is injured, so I came to visit."”
Imperial Physician Zhao bluntly said,"His Majesty is resting, so it's better not to disturb him."”
Qin Qi smiled." It seems that your injuries are very serious. I will leave now and not disturb Your Majesty's recuperation."”
As he spoke, he wanted to walk out. "Governor Qin? Since you're here, sit for a while before you leave. Imperial Physician Zhao is making a fuss over nothing. It's not that serious.”
Qin Feng's voice sounded. Qin Qi turned around and saw Qin Feng walk out. She smiled at him.
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows." Oh, I see. Since His Majesty has invited me so generously, I shall be thick-skinned and ask for a cup of tea.”
Qin Feng continued to smile,"Of course you can. Speaking of which, Governor Qin should be my cousin, but in this palace, we can only address each other as monarch and minister. I can't call you cousin."”
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows again and smiled slowly.”
Zhao Ping looked at the battle between the two and was very anxious. He was also surprised that Qin Feng was forcing himself to get up. He was afraid that Qin Feng's injuries would worsen but he could only worry.
Qin Qi quickly sat down and drank tea with Qin Feng.
The two of them chatted about their daily lives.
This Qin Qi clearly knew about the Emperor's injuries and was deliberately stalling for time to prevent the Emperor from resting.
Qin Feng naturally wasn't willing to admit defeat. If he exposed his illness, he would use this opportunity to stop his plan.
Today's assassin was probably directed by him.
Qin Feng slowly filled the cup in front of him, thinking about how to not be controlled by him.
They were clearly mortal enemies, but they still had to pretend to be friendly and joke around here.
Qin Qi picked up the cup and gently blew on the hot air. He sneered in his heart and wanted to see how long he could last.
The tea lasted for an hour. Imperial Physician Zhao was behind him, looking for an opportunity to speak.
Finally, when the tea was almost finished, Qin Qi pretended to be surprised." Aiya, it's getting late. I should take my leave."”
Qin Feng's chest hurt and he wasn't used to sitting for long. Now that he heard that he was leaving, he let out a sigh of relief.
Qin Qi saw his sigh of relief and sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he said," However, today, I heard many wise words that I usually don't hear. I was inspired. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, can I have dinner at the Great Harmony Palace?"”
Qin Feng's hand froze and he glanced at him.
If you don't want to admit that you were hurt by your people, then you have to endure it.
General Liu has already gone down to clean up the remaining matters of the assassin case. He will definitely be able to find clues to capture you. I can't show weakness before you.
Qin Feng thought so and smiled. Someone, give the order to prepare dinner.”
Zhao Ping hated Qin Qi to the extreme. Unfortunately, Liu Tan hadn't come back yet and he couldn't chase him away.
Hence, after drinking tea, they began to eat dinner again.
Qin Feng endured the pain of his wound, but Qin Qi deliberately picked up some spicy dishes for him.
Qin Feng had to eat them one by one, making Imperial Physician Zhao's eyes pop out. Those things would aggravate the condition and cause the wound to worsen! He did it on purpose!
Imperial Physician Zhao cursed Qin Qi in his heart as he quickly thought of a new prescription for the Emperor after this god of plague left.
Qin Qi slowly finished his dinner. When he saw that it was almost time, he casually mentioned," Your Majesty, it seems that you will be eighteen in a few days."”
Qin Feng smiled,"It's hard for you to remember. That's right, in four days, I will be eighteen."”
Qin Qi stood up and cupped his hands." Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your double happiness."”"Oh? Other than a birthday celebration, what other good things could there be? Are you congratulating me for finally capturing the leader of those assassins, or are you congratulating me for finally eliminating those useless people in the Imperial Court?”Qin Feng was confused but he still maintained the winning side on the surface.
I'll let you be smug for a moment longer…Viciousness flashed in Qin Qi's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He shook his head and finally said,"No, I'm here to congratulate Your Majesty on obtaining many concubines. From now on, the harem of the Qin Country will be filled. Your Majesty, you can also help my West Qin Imperial Family continue the bloodline!"”
Qin Qi's every word was like a heavy hammer that hit Qin Feng's face.
I know who the person you like is, and I also know that person's personality. Do you think that after you have an entire harem of women, she will still look at you?
Qin Feng, at that time, in her heart, you will be like your name, as small as grass!
