Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 44 The Young Man in Trouble X The Dark Prince 24

After eating, Shen Xi went back to sleep. Jiang Qi slowly covered him with the quilt and walked out of the room.

He came to a dark basement. Jiang Qi pushed open the door and walked in. He Han and a group of secret guards knelt down and saluted when they saw him.

Jiang Qi waved his hand, signaling them to stand up. He was sitting on a chair, with a man covered in blood kneeling in front of him.

The man kept begging for mercy. His original appearance could no longer be recognized, but his voice revealed his true identity - the scarface who had held them hostage that night.

Jiang Qishen looked at him indifferently, then suddenly laughed: "What are you doing? Why did you start before I even arrived?"

The skin laughs but the flesh does not laugh.

Such a smile made Scarface feel creepy and he was scared to death.

Jiang Qi looked at his reaction and curled his lips: "Boring."

Then he stood up and left with one sentence: "Treat him well."

He Han, who had followed Jiang Qi for so many years, naturally understood the true meaning of this sentence and nodded: "Yes."

After Jiang Qi left, He Han didn't stay long. He didn't have the habit of abusing others. After dealing with him, he pushed open the door and walked out.

He stood in the darkness, the red blood was not obvious on his black clothes, and he seemed to have long been accustomed to the darkness.

Suddenly, a person came up behind him silently. He noticed it and drew the knife from his waist. When he saw the person coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the knife back.

"Mr. He, what's the matter?"

Master He looked at his cold face, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Xiao Han'er, why are you so cold to me?"

He Han was confused by his words: "Sir, I have always been like this."

Master He was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have thought of something, and sighed: "Yes, you are always like this."

The next day

Jiang Qi went to court early, and most of the forces in the court were biased towards Jiang Qi. The remaining majority were biased towards the fourth prince Jiang Shu. The other princes had almost no chance of ascending to the throne.

The emperor is already old, and replacing him will only take one or two years at most. The formation of power in the court is no longer secretive, and the emperor is indeed tired of seeing them fighting every day.

The emperor didn't want to see them quarreling anymore, so he left only Jiang Qi and Jiang Shu and asked everyone else to leave.

Jiang Shu had been spoiled by Queen Huida since he was a child. Before Jiang Qi came back, he had always been the apple of the emperor and the queen's eye. But all this ended on the day Jiang Qi came back. From that day on, he was no longer the only one in his father's eyes, and he could no longer find him.

The emperor had only four sons in his life, and two of them were still very young, so the only two who could ascend to the throne were Jiang Qi and Jiang Shu.

So Jiang Shu was not like Jiang Qi who could hide his emotions. His brows were tightly furrowed like twisted knots.

The emperor saw it and asked: "Shu'er, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine! I just don't want to get too close to someone."

The emperor frowned when he heard this. Before the emperor could speak, Jiang Qi took a few steps to the side and said, "I think my brother doesn't want to be next to me. No problem, I'll just move a few steps to the side."

When the emperor heard this, his frown relaxed a little, and he reprimanded Jiang Shu, "You really should learn from Qi'er how to be magnanimous. Do you think you will become an idle prince in the future?"

This sentence clearly showed his determination to leave the throne to Jiang Qi. How could Jiang Shu not know this? He gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."

After the court session, Jiang Qi ignored Jiang Shu who was standing at the door and yelling at him, but walked quickly out of the palace, thinking only of his little baby Shen Xi.

Jiang Shu realized that his madness did not disgust him, but he himself was disgusted, so he hurried to Fanghua Palace where the queen was.

As soon as Huida saw him coming, she couldn't stop smiling. Her beloved son hadn't come to see her for a long time.

"Shu'er! Are you missing your mother?"

Jiang Shu pushed her away with an annoyed look on his face: "Mother! Did you know that father has decided to pass the throne to Jiang Qi?"

"how come?"

He told her everything he had seen and heard during this court session. She was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and said, "That woman is really something. She left me with a disaster even after her death."

That woman is Jiang Qi’s biological mother.

Jiang Shu thought for a moment and said, "Mother, my father will definitely not pass the throne to me. Rather than putting my life in Jiang Qi's hands in the future, I might as well force the emperor to abdicate and rebel now."
