Chapter 713 Assassination (2)
The sixth prince, who was sleeping properly, suddenly woke up and sat up straight, with cold sweats on his forehead.
He Qi, who had originally closed his eyes and rested, immediately opened his eyes and stood up to the bed: "What's wrong with Your Highness?"
The sixth prince had deep eyes, his handsome face was thin and haggard, and his voice was hoarse: "I suddenly had a nightmare just now. My mother was walking in front, and I was chasing behind."
"My mother stepped on the air and suddenly fell down. I was shocked and rushed forward to save her mother. But she fell into the abyss with her mother."
This dream is so real and terrible.
Thinking of the fear of suddenly falling into the abyss, the Sixth Prince breathed rapidly and felt scared.
He Qi's eyes flashed and he comforted in a deep voice: "Don't panic, don't be afraid. This is just a nightmare. If you think about something on the day and dream about something on the night, your highness must be too worried about the Queen."
The sixth prince sighed with a wry smile: "The mother's body has been weak. I can't stand it even if I kneel down day and night, let alone the mother's empress."
"It's a pity that I was unable to do anything. I knew that my mother fainted but could not be with her mother."
He Qi continued to comfort him: "Your Highness wants to kneel down for the emperor, and there is nothing we can do about it. With Arong taking care of the Empress, what else can you worry about?"
That's true.
For Empress Pei, having Cheng Jinrong by her side is the greatest comfort.
The sixth prince's frown slightly stretched out, looking at He Qi who comforted him in every possible way, and said a word from his brother-in-law almost rushed out.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and changed his words: "Teacher He has not been able to close his eyes these days, so it's really hard. There are so many people around me who are guarding me, so let's go to bed for a while!"
This is only the sixteenth day.
There are more than thirty days left to endure, and no one can get through it without a good rest.
When He Qi thought of how the eldest prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, how could he feel at ease, he pretended to be relaxed: "I can still hold on. Your Highness, let's sleep first! I'll guard here."
Although I feel sorry for my brother-in-law when I think so, he feels really at ease and at ease with my brother-in-law.
The sixth prince silently remembered a contribution to his brother-in-law in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, a strange sound suddenly sounded outside the door.
He Qi was very alert and pulled out the long knife from his waist without thinking, and asked in a deep voice: "Go and see what's going on outside."
A guard of the Eastern Palace responded and quickly walked out. He came back soon and reported: "Report to the Crown Prince, the Great Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince, the High Prince, and the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince, and said that there was something important to tell your Highness."
...
The sixth prince was stunned and looked at He Qi.
He Qi did not interfere in his duties.
The Sixth Prince is the crown prince and will be the new emperor of Great Chu. No matter how much the Sixth Prince trusts him, he cannot make decisions on behalf of the Sixth Prince.
He is a loyal minister and a good general, and he is definitely not a powerful minister who is involved in the imperial power.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. This sentence is not a false statement. No matter how young the sixth prince is, no matter how gentle the temperament is, when he sits on the dragon throne and becomes the emperor in the future, his temperament and temper will change. He cannot place everything on the emperor's conscience.
The subtle scale in this is difficult to grasp. He Qi has a scale in his heart, and he clearly knows what should be done and what should not be done.
The sixth prince hesitated and said, "I am tired today, so what do you want to say tomorrow."
The guards retreated.
After a moment, the guards came in again to report: "Your Highness said that this matter is very important, and you must tell your Highness now."
The sixth prince was silent.
His feelings for several brothers were very complicated.
In terms of emotion, he hoped that his brothers would be harmonious and deep in love. But in fact, from the day he won the favor of his father, he became a thorn in the eyes of the emperor's brothers.
Not to mention others, the legitimate brother of the "one mother" is the one who hates him the most. He does not hesitate to use Princess Shouning to plot against him, and even his father and mother are not let go.
Princess Shouning's madness before her death was deeply engraved into his mind. Since that day, the veil of warmth in his heart has been cruelly pierced, revealing the ruthless true face of the imperial power.
His guardianship towards his brothers became increasingly strong.
"Sometimes, it's ridiculous." The Sixth Prince murmured: "We are brothers, and we should be the closest people in the world. Just like Pei Zhang and Pei Jue, we support each other and have deep affection."
"But, I can't trust them anymore."
"I will think in my heart whether they are jealous when they approach me. Will they plot against me secretly?"
"I used to think that my father was too suspicious and could not trust anyone. Now it's my turn. Before I could sit on the dragon throne, I've already started to think about everything and doubt. Isn't it particularly ridiculous?"
It turns out that imperial power will really change a person, making people become the most disgusting person without realizing it.
He Qi looked at the sixth prince who was disgusted with self-deprecation with pity and whispered: "If your highness doesn't want to see them, it's just not to see them."
As the crown prince and the future emperor of Da Chu, you can be more willful.
The sixth prince pulled the corners of his mouth with a self-deprecating self-pity and quickly cheered up: "Let's meet me first! The father issued an order to ask the concubine Xian to be buried with him. Several emperor brothers had to bear the pain of losing their mother, and they felt so depressed and uncomfortable."
"They are here to see me now, just to ask me in private and find ways to save the lives of Concubine Xian and the others."
Of course, the orders of the late emperor cannot be changed.
However, if you really want to save the four concubines of Wei Xian, Zheng Jieyu, and the other four. You can use a fake death strategy to make them surrender "poisonous wine" as public and then send them out of the palace quietly. Later, they lost their identity as the concubine and changed their names and identities to stay away from the capital.
If he doesn't pursue this emperor, who would have too much trouble to pursue these things?
Doing so, he was a little sorry for his father who was determined to consider his plans. However, he really couldn't watch the four lives fall like this, and he couldn't bear to see his brothers lose their mother at the same time.
These days, he has been silently calculating this matter in his mind.
He had never told anyone about it. First, there was no chance, and second, it was because this thing had to be done incredibly, and the fewer people knew, the better.
The princes were worried and anxious, and he could understand this mood. Since they were here tonight, he could just speak out first to calm their hearts.
The Sixth Prince felt a little relieved as he thought about this, and said to He Qi in a low voice: "You must be surprised to hear what I said to the emperors later."
The sixth prince cried for many days, but it was rare to have a smile today.
He Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced across the sixth prince's face: "What does Your Highness want to say?"
The Sixth Prince pulled the corner of his mouth: "You will know in a while."
While speaking, the door was pushed open.
