Qi Qingqing knew that Li Qiming loved his one-year-old son very much, and once drunk he even said that he would make his son the prince in the future.

If not, she wouldn't have dared to plot against the Crown Princess and the Emperor's eldest grandson so blatantly.

She said these words to Li Qiming because she wanted to tell him that her son was watching him from behind. If he took a step back, his son would never be able to get ahead in the future.

Qi Qingqing was thinking about whether she should say something else to stimulate Li Qiming, but Li Qiming waved to her and said feebly: "You go back and look after the children first, I will go over to see you later."

"But Your Highness."

Li Qiming looked at Qi Qingqing with a stern face. Qi Qingqing was angry in her heart, but she could only squeeze out a gentle smile on her face: "Then I will leave first."

Qi Qingqing gritted her teeth and left the meeting hall, which was caught by Crown Princess Lin Jing standing at the corner of the corridor.

Lin Jing sneered: "I thought she was so capable, but who knew she couldn't even handle such a small thing."

The maid next to Lin Jing asked: "Mother, then let's..."

"She couldn't do it, so I had to do it myself, and we followed the plan."

Maid: "Yes, then I will go and get you guys ready."

Li Qiming sat alone until it got dark. The more he thought about the past, the more desolate he felt.

Thinking of what Qi Ning said to him before he was exiled, he said that his life was smooth and everything he wished for could come true.

But if he could really make everything he wished come true, then the position of emperor should have been his long ago. How could he end up in such a miserable end today?

He felt that if he continued to think like this, he would be tempted to kill someone to vent his anger. He got up and prepared to walk in the garden.

From a long distance away, he could hear shouts and shouts in the garden. The attendant next to him was about to step forward to check, but was stopped by Li Qiming.

He could tell that these were the voices of his eldest son and second son. These two sons were born to his maid in the same palace before his wedding, and he had always disliked them.

If he remembered correctly, the two sons were now fifteen or sixteen years old. How could they still be so noisy at such an age? They didn't understand the rules at all. He wanted to see what the two of them were arguing about.

Li Qiming took a few steps closer. Through a flowered window, he was surprised to find that the eldest son of him and the Crown Princess was among them. He remembered that this child had tried to do something inappropriate to his concubine but failed. , has always been well-behaved.

"Brothers, please stop arguing. It's not worth it over such a trivial matter."

Li Qiming understood clearly that his eldest son was actually here to persuade his two brothers.

"You are the legitimate son of the Crown Princess, so naturally you won't care about such a small profit. But we are different. We are all unappreciated bastards. Now we finally have the opportunity to take care of some things in the village, but you kid actually Still fighting with me."

"Brother, you also said that we are all underappreciated bastards, and there is only one chance. If I let you, will you be able to find a second chance in the future?"

"Thank you for knowing that I am your eldest brother. Do you have to fight with me?"

"Then why can't eldest brother let me be his younger brother?"

"You can give in to other things, but this matter is related to your future. You can't give in if you want me to."

"Since the eldest brother also said that this matter will never work, then you can't blame the younger brother for being ruthless."

Li Qiming listened to the conversation between the two brothers and instantly thought of his current situation.

The late empress failed to give birth to a legitimate son for the emperor, and the remaining princes were the same in everyone's eyes. Even if he was the eldest son, otherwise Qi Ning would not have dared to go against him like that.

The current situation is that if he takes a step back, Qi Jin will take a step forward. If he really does nothing and waits for his father to calm down in the palace, he is afraid that his position as prince will be replaced in a few days. .

When his two sons were only in their teens, they knew that some opportunities would never be available again if they were missed once. They could not give in to each other for a mere managerial position. He and Qi Jin were competing for the supreme position in the world. If he missed the opportunity, he would I can never turn over again.

Li Qiming gritted his teeth and ordered the attendants beside him: "Go and call all the counselors in the government to the meeting hall. I have very important matters to discuss with them."

Crown Princess Lin Jing was still watching all this from a hidden place not far away, sneered, and after a long time, she spoke to the people around her: "Mammy, after they finish discussing it, you can go to the Gu Mansion yourself."

Grandma bowed her head and responded respectfully: "Yes."

The proceedings in the East Palace did not end until midnight. When everyone was about to leave, Li Qiming sent someone to block the door.

He squinted his eyes and scanned everyone in the room: "I'm sorry everyone, in order not to leak this matter, I have to ask you to stay here for the time being. I will be generously rewarded when the matter is completed."

Everyone looked at each other, and only Chen Wenze said calmly: "Yes, we firmly support His Highness the Crown Prince's decision."

The rest of the people quickly echoed: "We firmly support His Highness the Crown Prince's decision."

"Ah."

Li Qiming nodded with satisfaction. Although there were people sent by the emperor to guard the outside, there was still no way to get out.

But now, he couldn't trust any of the people who knew his plan.

He turned around and went out. When the door of the conference hall behind him was closed by the guards, he called the leader of the guards from the East Palace and handed him a token: "I'll leave the next thing to you."

"Subordinates obey."

The leader of the guards stretched out his hands and took the token respectfully, turned around and walked down the steps. He waved to both sides. Immediately, several guards came out of the darkness and the group walked quickly towards the door.

At the same time, a pair of eyes staring at the door of the meeting hall in the darkness watched several guards gradually disappear into the distance. The owner of the eyes turned and walked towards the backyard, walking to an unmanned corner of the outermost wall of the East Palace, " "With a sound, he flew up the wall.

On one side of the wall is a five-meter-wide river. If you don't have some effort, ordinary people will make a lot of noise if they want to swim across it, and they will be discovered by the guards nearby.

And this man in night clothes was obviously a master of martial arts. He jumped up, took a few steps in the air, and then landed firmly on the other side.

Under the cover of the moonlight, the man in black quickly left the palace gate, dodging the night guards all the way to Huanghuafang Ganmian Alley.

The man in black came to the door of a large mansion, looked up at the plaque on the door, and thought about finding a suitable place to climb over the wall and enter the house.

Suddenly, a corner door on the side of the gate was opened with a creak. A girl poked her head out of the corner door and said in a low voice: "Is it Miss Lin who invited you here?"

The man in black nodded and took a few steps forward to approach the girl: "My girl sent me to give your wife something, a swan goose."

The person in black who spoke was the nanny next to Crown Princess Lin Jing, and the person who opened the door was the maid Sequoia next to Qi Qingxi. The conversation between the two was the secret code agreed between Lin Jing and Qi Qingxi.

Sequoia opened the door and stepped aside to make way for him: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in with me."
