Quickly wear the pregnant queen
Chapter 348 The scheming snake and the scorpion × the powerful regent 28
Qi Yuan would not change what he decided, not only if the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were kneeling outside the palace, but even if the whole world was kneeling in front of him.
"Do they think that this king will be as kind and tolerant as my father and not dare to take action?"
Qi Yuan sneered, and a sneer appeared on his thin lips.
"All military power is in my hands, and I have the final say in the entire world. Civil servants like the elders have not yet realized that whoever I want will die."
Qi Yuan was already upset and was unwilling to show mercy to these civil servants.
In the past, when his father was alive, although he participated in government affairs, he was still concerned about his father and his methods were not too harsh, so he made these people think that he was kind and could be controlled by them.
"Your Highness, it's not good to kill too many civil servants. I'm afraid your reputation will be...and many scholars in the world will admire them..."
Gu Qingfeng didn't say any more. He also disliked these civil servants, but these people held the pen.
If Qi Yuan's methods are too harsh, he will definitely be called a tyrant.
Qi Yuan naturally knew what Gu Qingfeng said.
But in the face of absolute force, these are nothing.
He also knew that if he didn't care about reputation, he wouldn't care about the judgment of the world like his father.
None of this can threaten him.
"Your Highness, in fact, the suggestions of the elders are quite normal. Throughout the past and present, there has never been an emperor who did not accept concubines. Your heirs are implicated in the country..."
Gu Qingfeng spoke in a low voice. Although from his standpoint, he shouldn't say these words. After all, Xu Lingyi will be the future queen.
But this is obviously true. As an emperor, Qi Yuan does not accept concubines, which is really shocking.
An emperor guarding a woman is unprecedented.
Gu Qingfeng could also understand the thoughts of these courtiers. Even he couldn't believe it when he first learned about it.
Qi Yuan glanced over with a cold look, "Whether the country is stable or not, shouldn't it depend on my ability?"
Gu Qingfeng stopped talking.
Qi Yuan also fell silent.
But what he decides will not be changed easily.
He still remembered the look in Xu Lingyi's eyes that day when his father said he wanted to take a concubine for him.
He won't break her heart, and he really only wants her and doesn't like any other woman.
----
The eunuch entered the palace with gentle steps.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here to see you."
"Let the imperial doctor come in." Qi Yuan pressed his temple: "How is Qi Yun?"
Except for the queen and Qi Yun, Qi Yuan's other siblings and relatives have no feelings.
"Your Highness discovered the poison too late and the poisoning lasted too long. If it had been discovered a few years earlier, it could have been saved. But now the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Even if Bian Que is reincarnated, there is nothing he can do about it."
Qi Yuan's sullen eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became even more ugly.
On the day the late emperor passed away, Qi Yun fell down after hearing the news.
At that time, Qi Yuan only thought it was because of excessive sadness, but now he realized that it was also because Qi Yun had been poisoned.
Although Qi Yun is the only bloodline of the second emperor's brother and is the emperor's eldest grandson, he is just a concubine.
In the past few days, Qi Yuan found out that his second sister-in-law had poisoned him personally and had been poisoning him for many years.
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Qi Yun was raised by his father, the empress, and his mother. Qi Yuan had only had much contact with Qi Yun in the palace before.
If she knew about him, I'm afraid the queen mother wouldn't be able to bear it.
"I am incompetent."
Qi Yuan's face was solemn, "How long does he have?"
"His Highness is suffering from a chronic poison. Although the poison has taken its toll now, it can still last for another three years or so, and the poison is mild. His Highness has not been much different from ordinary people in the past two years or so."
"Just the last six months... will be extremely difficult, and my physical condition will deteriorate rapidly."
Qi Yuan let out a heavy sigh and finally made a decision.
"This matter will be hidden from Qi Yun and from everyone. No one is allowed to leak this matter. If the emperor's eldest grandson knows about it, you don't have to stay."
His voice was particularly cold and solemn, and the doctors nodded quickly.
Since it has been two and a half years, Qi Yun's body will not be affected much on the surface.
There was no need for him to worry from now on.
"Prepare the car."
Qi Yuan felt depressed after losing two relatives one after another.
There are very few people he cares about, Qi Yun is one of them.
What's more, Qi Yun is still so young.
Qi Yun's mansion.
"Uncle Emperor, why are you here?" Qi Yun was a little surprised when he saw Qi Yuan.
"I came to see you. Are you feeling well?"
Qi Yun nodded, "I probably fainted because I was too sad that day. When I woke up, I felt that my body was fine, but the doctors were extremely nervous. What happened to the emperor's nephew?"
"You are still young, what can you do? Don't think too much."
Qi Yuan's tone was calm and there was no clue, so Qi Yun also let down his guard.
Besides, he really didn't feel any physical discomfort.
"Uncle Emperor, where is my mother? I haven't seen her in the past few days." Qi Yun was a little surprised.
Qi Yuan was silent for a moment, "She died of illness."
This second sister-in-law had always been in poor health, so the excuse for her death was not surprising.
Qi Yun was shocked.
"Take good rest, don't think too much about anything else, and don't worry your elders."
Qi Yuan told him the news, and he actually knew it.
Qi Yun didn't have much affection for his nominal mother. He was raised by the emperor and empress.
It was already late at night when we walked out of Qi Yun's mansion.
Qi Yuan wanted to go back to the palace, but after looking at the moonlight, he hesitated.
"You can go back if you want. The princess must be thinking about you right now." Gu Qingfeng advised.
"Let's go." Qi Yuan thought of Qi Yun and felt that things were unpredictable.
Since he is alive, he should do as he pleases.
----
Prince Yan's Mansion.
During this period, Xu Lingyi only occasionally went to the palace during the day to accompany the queen.
Qi Yuan has not yet ascended the throne, and it is not easy for her to live in the palace.
Xu Lingyi had already fallen asleep, but she felt someone touching her hair in a daze.
"Your Highness!" Xu Lingyi opened his eyes and saw Qi Yuan sitting in front of the bed.
Seeing Qi Yuan, she was a little surprised, "You're back!"
She put her arms around Qi Yuan's neck and hugged him in surprise.
"Well, I wanted to see you, so I returned home."
"My lord, are you unhappy?"
Xu Lingyi was embraced in his arms. The two were so close that she could naturally feel his emotions.
"But there are too many things going on in the DPRK?"
Although she was in the palace these days, she also knew about the affairs of the court.
When those ministers learned that Qi Yuan was unwilling to take a concubine, they felt as if their ancestral graves had been dug up.
Xu Lingyi pretended to be generous and said, "I don't want to embarrass Your Highness. As long as you have me in your heart, even if you have someone else..."
Xu Lingyi didn't say any more, but her voice was extremely sour and choked.
Qi Yuan touched her head and sighed softly. He was a little angry when he heard such words.
But thinking about her temperament, he felt sorry for her.
"There won't be anyone else, don't worry, these people are nothing to be afraid of."
All power is in his hands, and there is nothing in the world that he cannot make the decision.
"If I am no longer the emperor, would you be willing to take you on a sightseeing tour?"
This period of time was so tiring and the government affairs were backlogged that he had almost no time to spend time with Xu Lingyi.
After taking the throne, this situation was probably the norm the year before.
Coupled with the recent annoyance from the courtiers, Qi Yuan wanted to take Xu Lingyi out for a walk while he was still young and take this opportunity to relax.
Qi Yuan thought that in the past two years, Qi Yun would be in charge of the capital temporarily.
He will still hold the real power in his hands, and everyone in the army will only listen to his orders.
Most of the important positions in the DPRK now belong to him.
These people may not support him guarding Xu Lingyi alone.
But other than that, he was extremely loyal to him.
Therefore, Qi Yuan was not worried that the court would be in turmoil.
In this way, he can not only be out of the capital, unfettered, but also control the overall situation.
More than two years later, Qi Yun was in poor health and he returned to Beijing.
Qi Yuan just had this idea, but he still needed Xu Lingyi's opinion.
"Do you want to leave Beijing and go see it?"
"Okay." Xu Lingyi nodded.
Although Qi Yuan said similar words for the second time, Xu Lingyi still did not take it seriously.
She had never thought that there would be people in this world who really didn't want the throne.
