In the original plot, King Li would seize the throne a year later.

Before he left, he left a letter for Feng Yanzhou to remind him and give him some ideas on how to deal with the male protagonist. It would be better to leave a good emperor for the people.

"Official corruption, does the emperor have any way to break it?"

Feng Yanzhou also took a bun like Li Qing's and ate it slowly:

“Qingqing, don’t worry. A few days ago, I sent Prince Jing and Ningguo’s largest imperial merchant to Liangzhou in secret.

Take my imperial token, kill the treacherous ministers, and save the people. Anyone who dares to stop me will be executed first and reported to me later!

In my opinion, there is no need to rack one's brains to crack down on corruption. Just kill those guys who exploit the people one by one.

There are so many people in Ningguo, many of whom are knowledgeable and talented, who can't take over?"

After saying that, he sighed and looked at Li Qing aggrievedly:

“Speaking of which, those annoying officials have died, and we have to find new people to replace them. After the snowstorm is dealt with, we will hold a special examination to promote people with ambitions.

I'm afraid I'll be busy for a long time, Qingqing, and I won't be able to have dinner with you every day."

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly, it was just right that he didn't come: "Dealing with state affairs is more important, Your Majesty should focus on the overall situation."

"Okay, I'll listen to Qingqing!"

From that day on, Feng Yanzhou became busier and was no longer as punctual for three meals a day as before.

Only at midnight every night did he have time to come to Li Qing's room and stare at his sleeping face in a daze.

At three quarters past midnight, Li Qing opened his eyes and looked at Feng Yanzhou's departing back.

This is the tenth time Feng Yanzhou has come here at night...

I often dragged my tired body and lay down on the head of his bed. Occasionally, I fell asleep due to exhaustion, but then suddenly woke up, tucked him in, and left.

The moonlight poured into the room, cold and indifferent, unable to calm the slightly disordered heartbeat.

Li Qing stroked the bracelet on his right hand. He hated... this uncontrollable feeling.

It's as if something is about to break out of the ground, eager and suppressed, I really want to hide and escape, maybe, just leave...

Li Qing stood up and sat on the bed, pinching the corner of the quilt and whispered, "Shadow One, Shadow Two!"

Soon, two dark figures landed in the room and said respectfully, "Master."

Li Qing stared at the bed curtains in a daze: "You two obey my orders, will you really not betray me? Everything... will be arranged by me?"

The two men said in unison: "Master, if you have anything to say, just give me your orders. If you have any second thoughts, I will cut you into pieces!"

Li Qing turned to look at them and said solemnly: "Okay, in that case, help me do something.

Yingyi, go to the mass grave outside the city and find two corpses that are similar in shape to mine and Banting's. Also, go to Doctor Qin and steal some colorless and odorless drugs.

Shadow 2, buy a carriage. Five days later at dusk, take Ban Ting out of the palace first and let him wait in the dense forest outside the city. You come back to do another thing.

At that time, I will find an opportunity to knock him out, and you guys act quickly. If he is awake, the fire in Huiyu Palace will be extinguished before it is even started..."

Ying Yi and Ying Er looked at each other in shock, then lowered their heads: "Subordinates obey your orders!"

After arranging things, Li Qing couldn't sleep, so he put on his coat, walked into the yard, and sat at the stone table to admire the moon.

Ban Ting slept in the side room. When she saw him when she got up at night, she hurried over with her cloak and carefully put it on him: "Your Highness, why did you come out? It's so cold outside."

Li Qing pulled her clothes together, feeling a little cold indeed: "Banting, do you miss home?"

Ban Ting stood behind him, stroking the back of his head with a silly smile:

“I do, but Lord He said that if I take good care of the Sixth Prince, he will give my family a large sum of money.

My younger brothers and sisters are still young, and my parents are not in good health. They live on two acres of thin land in the village. I sold myself to the Prime Minister's Mansion because I wanted them to live a better life."

Li Qing sighed and said softly, "We will be able to go back soon, and then I will return the indenture to you."

The wind was too loud, so Ban Ting couldn't hear clearly: "What did your highness just say?"

"Nothing, go back and rest, I'll sit for a while."

Ban Ting always felt that the prince was not very happy tonight and wanted to accompany him, but he could not disobey the order, so he moved back to the room, looking back every few steps.

He quietly opened the window and sat by the window staring. Whenever His Highness coughed, he would quickly help Him into the house.

At this time, a drama between master and servant was also taking place in the imperial study.

Gao Yuan looked at His Majesty who was sleeping on the table and covered him with clothes with heartache.

Feng Yanzhou immediately woke up, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Seeing that it was Gao Yuan, he slowly put the dagger at his waist back and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, it's late at night. You should go to the bedroom to rest. The study is not a place to sleep."

"It's okay. Eunuch Gao is old. Go get some sleep. You don't have to stay by my side all the time."

While the two were talking, Ying San flew in, saluted, and started to tell the news sent back by other secret guards:

“Your Majesty, Prince Jing arrived in Liangzhou ten days ago. After some twists and turns, he successfully took over the post-disaster reconstruction.

Prince Jing moved into Prince Li's residence ahead of time on the pretext of reminiscing about the past. He followed Prince Li around all day long, but Prince Li did not take any action for the time being.

If no one intervenes, we can completely deal with this northern snowstorm in about a month!"

Feng Yanzhou tapped the table with his slender fingers and pondered for a moment:

"Notify Ying Si and Ying Wu to keep a close eye on Feng Yu. If King Li doesn't make any move, he may not be sure. How could a wolf cub miss such a good opportunity?

If he is really harmful to Prince Jing, if necessary, he must be killed at all costs!"

Ying San took the order and left. Feng Yanzhou continued to review memorials. He had not slept for nearly a whole night. In the morning, he went straight from the imperial study to attend court. He was in a very irritable mood.

Just when I was feeling annoyed, someone happened to run into the muzzle of the gun.

"Your Majesty, I have a report to impeach Prince Fengming:

He disregarded etiquette and laws, was cruel and bloodthirsty, and in the north he beheaded dozens of officials for no reason and confiscated millions of silver taels, all of which he kept for himself.

I beg the emperor to order someone to arrest Prince Jing and bring him to justice. Don't let this frustrate the officials!"

When these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked. Some of them had just heard about it, while others were well-informed and had good acting skills, so they pretended to have just heard about it.

Seven officials walked to the center of the hall and knelt down in unison: "We second the motion!"

Feng Yanzhou took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. If he hadn't thought about accumulating blessings for Li Qing, he really wanted to chop these seven people to pieces himself and hang their bodies on the city wall for three days!

Feeling chilled, right? I will make you feel cold from head to toe!

Feng Yanzhou slammed the table in front of him, stood up, and shouted at the people kneeling on the ground:

"The imperial envoy was killed, and the governor of Liangzhou disappeared. Why don't you ask who did it?!

What Fengming did was the result of a secret order from me personally, instructing him to deal with those traitors!

Today, you all pleaded for the dead. It seems that you have a lot of contacts with them! You must have received a lot of benefits, right?

Dali Temple, listen to my order, put these people in the prison and investigate them strictly!"

Once the emperor was angry, no one dared to plead for mercy.
