Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Chen'er, the palace urgently wants you to come to the palace to meet the emperor. The person who is going to pick you up is already waiting outside the mansion."

Shen Yao's words made Qi Haochen and Shen Shi hurriedly get up from their chairs.

Shen Shi was fine, but Qi Haochen was a little dumbfounded.

Ah? The emperor urgently summoned him to the palace? Why?

"Fifth sister, you and Third brother, accompany me into the palace."

Qi Haochen felt that he should still bring his brothers and sisters along. Shen Shi and Shen Zhen looked at each other and nodded.

The person who came to pick up Qi Haochen was a eunuch in charge of the emperor.

Generally speaking, if the problem has to be solved by the eunuch in charge in person, it means that the problem is very serious.

Qi Haochen politely got into the carriage and, contrary to his usual behavior, did not test the serious-looking steward.

Seeing this, Shen Shi and Shen Zhen were somewhat confused about what Qi Haochen meant.

Qi Haochen winked and uttered a few words silently.

Shen Shi and Shen Zhen understood immediately, each made an easy-to-understand gesture, and sat in their seats without saying anything.

The carriage moved forward without stopping until it brought everyone to the palace.

The steward asked Qi Haochen to go in alone, and Shen Shi and Shen Zhen stayed where they were.

Shen Shi and Shen Zhen: ...

The two men turned their heads to look at Qi Haochen. They had anticipated this in the carriage just now, but they were still a little surprised to see that the other party was so determined not to back down.

Qi Haochen, on the other hand, had already sorted out his thoughts. He smiled and asked Shen Shi and Shen Zhen to wait for him at the door, then turned around and followed the steward into the room.

The heavy city gate opened and closed, and Shen Shi and Shen Zhen's hearts were lifted high.

"Three Brothers"

Shen Zhen called out "Shen Shi" and signaled with his eyes that they should go talk over there.

"What's wrong?" Shen Shi followed, keeping his eyes on his surroundings.

It seems that apart from them, there are no other princes from the royal palace entering the palace.

Because there were a limited number of carriages parked in front of the palace gate, Shen Shi, as an old man who had been with Qi Haochen for many years, knew a lot of inside information.

"Do you want to notify fourth sister?" The eldest brother and second sister live in the fiefdom. Fourth sister rarely contacts them after getting married, but if there is something to ask for, fourth sister will rush over as quickly as possible.

Shen Shi shook his head, "No need, I don't need Fourth Sister for the time being.

Besides, my fourth sister is already pregnant and will give birth in a few months."

At this time, using news to disturb the pregnant woman's mood will not benefit either party.

Shen Zhen bit her lip and looked behind Shen Shi, "I'm worried that something happened in the palace this time."

If Qi Haochen was really trapped in the palace, the two of them would not be able to get him out at all.

At this time, the glaring gap in strength was revealed before them, making Shen Shi and Shen Zhen even more powerless.

What can I do? I can only comfort myself in my heart that it has not reached the worst time yet and there is no need to do this.

On the other side, Qi Haochen, who was led into the palace by the eunuch in charge and rushed to the imperial study, couldn't help but open his mouth to test the water.

"I thought Prince Luo wouldn't ask about it," because it was very quiet along the way, so he didn't have to use the excuse he had prepared.

Qi Haochen chuckled and scratched his head, "To be honest, sir, I was a little scared before, but now that they're here, asking or not won't change anything."

Even if a trap was really set for him, Qi Haochen would have no choice but to jump into it.

Once you enter the palace, that is the emperor's territory, no matter if you are a dragon or a tiger, you have to lie down obediently.

"Prince Luo doesn't have to be afraid, that's a good thing," but also a bad thing.

The eunuch in charge had a good impression of Qi Haochen. He comforted him with a few words and then told him that he would know it at a glance.

Can you tell at a glance?

Qi Haochen felt that this eunuch in charge was being evasive when speaking. Was this a good thing?

In his opinion, it might be a very bad thing.

He lamented in his heart that there was only so much he could do as a prince of a royal palace. He only hoped that his uncle would still take into account some blood ties. After all, he was his father's only son. If he really didn't want him to inherit the throne, he could just let him return to his fiefdom.

Qi Haochen thought that he was very flexible and would not be like others who would go down a single path to the end without leaving any way out for themselves.

Muttering to himself, Qi Haochen kept following the eunuch in charge without stopping, until they arrived at the heavily guarded imperial study.

Qi Haochen: ...

What's going on? Qi Haochen's first reaction was that something had happened to the emperor.

His eyes instantly turned to the eunuch in charge, "Eunuch, look..."

The eunuch in charge had a businesslike attitude on his face, and his tone was not as gentle as before. "Replying to Prince Luoyang, the emperor is in the imperial study. Please come in, Prince."

As for him, he must guard outside the door. No one dares to disobey the emperor's orders.

"Thank you, eunuch, for telling me," Qi Haochen flicked his sleeves and strode forward.

The tightly closed door was pushed open. Qi Haochen sorted out his messy thoughts and quickly bowed and greeted the empty lobby.

After a while, a familiar voice came from the inner room. Qi Haochen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor was still alive.

Qi Haochen casually tidied his clothes, walked around the screen, and stepped into the inner room.

"Royal Uncle"

"You're here. Yes, I wasn't wrong." The emperor was half lying on the innermost dragon bed. The bright yellow curtains hanging on both sides were lowered, making it difficult for Qi Haochen to see the situation inside.

Qi Haochen listened to the emperor's subtext, and no matter what he was thinking, he didn't dare to make any extra movements on his face. He just replied that he was just following orders, and he didn't deserve such praise.

"Don't be nervous. You are not an exception when I call people into the palace this time."

The emperor chuckled twice, feeling a little depressed, as if something was blocking his chest.

“Now in the capital, there are still a few princes from royal palaces who have not left.

Before you, I had sent people to invite them into the palace using the same rhetoric.

It's a pity that they didn't appear before me until you came."

The emperor felt a little emotional after he finished speaking, thinking that some people could not seize the opportunity even if they were given it.

It seems that there is already a clear candidate for the position under him.

Qi Haochen was shocked after hearing this, as if he had anticipated what the emperor would say. He quickly knelt on the ground and expressed his loyalty in a solemn tone.

"Get up, there's no need to rush. There's one last thing to do. Take care of it for me, and everything will fall into place."

"I wonder what instructions your Majesty has?" Qi Haochen asked.

"It's not an order, I just want you to arrest those who are endangering the foundation of Qi."

Arrest and bring to justice?

……

The tightly closed door was pushed open again, and Qi Haochen came out holding the imperial edict in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the steward who was waiting outside hurriedly came over with a smile.

"I congratulate Prince Luo and wish him immediate success in advance."

Qi Haochen looked at the steward eunuch who was smiling like a flower, and took the imperial edict in his hand, "Eunuch, you have made me suffer so much," because the information was wrong, he almost got into trouble.

The eunuch in charge explained, "I hope you will be considerate, my servant has no choice."

He didn't want to do that, but he was working for the emperor, and there were some things he didn't want to hear.

And judging from the expression on Prince Luo's face, what he said was not wrong, it was indeed a good thing.

good thing?

"Fortunately, the Emperor's uncle still cares about our blood relationship, otherwise the three of us would not be able to get out today."

Sitting in the carriage on the way back home, Qi Haochen spoke with great fear.

It's really not his fault. Don't think that he was at the mercy of the emperor the whole time after entering the palace. In fact, he narrowly avoided a confrontation in the imperial study.

At that time, in the imperial study, there were not only himself and the emperor, but also other secret guards who had been hidden.

The emperor was half-sitting on the dragon bed, looking weak. Qi Haochen could even faintly smell a bloody odor in the air.

Based on this, Qi Haochen forced himself to hold back and not show the slightest sign of inappropriateness. When he came out of the palace, the fabric on his back was wet.

After telling Shen Shi and Shen Zhen about his guess, Qi Haochen wiped his forehead with his hand and said that he must have a good rest when he returns. After experiencing the horror of life and death, he must make a good plan for what comes next.

Some things are bound to be wrong if you say too much, so there was no need to say more at this time. When they arrived at the mansion, the three of them got out of the car and returned to the study.

"Chen'er, this matter still requires the joint efforts of mother and the prince. The emperor's intention is obvious. He wants you to compete with those people first."

If both sides suffer losses, it is hard for Shen Zhen not to suspect that the emperor will choose to do something that will benefit the other party.

"I also need to inform my fourth sister, and secretly investigate the situation of the other princes of the palace who have not left yet."

Shen Shi felt that what the emperor said might not be true, not to mention that the other party was trying to take advantage of him.

Combined with what Qi Haochen said on the way, Shen Shi boldly guessed that the smell of blood was most likely left by some people who had come in earlier.

As for whether the speculation can come true, "It is easy to find out the suspicious points by checking the time they entered the palace, including their actions after leaving Beijing."

Qi Haochen nodded and said, "Let the unfamiliar guard handle this matter.

We still have to pretend to be leaving the capital."

Even if Qi Haochen had the imperial edict specially granted to him by the emperor, it was unknown whether the other party would recognize it once he went to someone else's fiefdom.

In Qi Haochen's opinion, when facing an enemy who wants to seize his power, the most basic quality is to strike first.

Although his trip was carried out under orders, it was more of a secret operation.

"Don't worry, we are already familiar with these things. There is only one thing, how is the emperor now?"

Shen Shi is concerned about the emperor's health. He is not worried about what will happen to the emperor, but about Qi Haochen's actions.

If this drama ends up benefiting others, they will really suffer a huge loss.

"Your Majesty, he must have been seriously injured. Although he tried his best to keep his voice steady, I could still tell that he was lacking energy."

Maybe he had demonstrated a lot in front of Qi Haochen deliberately, but Qi Haochen was sharp enough and could still identify the problem.

Shen Zhen made a lot of analysis based on this, and at the same time decided that they had to act quickly. It would be best to complete these arrangements before the emperor's death. Then he could ascend the throne with the imperial edict, and everything would go smoothly.

It's like gaining momentum under the pretext of following God's will. Although it's useless, it can seize the initiative in public opinion.

"Act separately. Success or failure depends on this one move."

Qi Haochen stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, his blood boiling in his heart.

After waiting for so long, both my father, my mother and I were almost impatient. Fortunately, we finally got the chance we had been waiting for, and we said we couldn't miss it.

……

Qi Chen took the letter to Shen Yao's courtyard, and the first thing he said when they met was that it was over.

Shen Yao looked at the contents of the letter. Although she had the system plug-in, she had already known the situation in the capital, and even the emperor's physical condition clearly. However, she still maintained her personality and smiled to congratulate Qi Chen on his happy ending.

It is true that after all the hardship comes happiness. God knows how Qi Chen managed to survive these years.

Shen Yao stayed in the backyard and was exposed to fewer things, unlike Qi Chen, who faced all kinds of temptations and conspiracies and stumbled all the way to where he is today.

After laughing heartily for a few times, Qi Chen put his arm around Shen Yao and patted her gently.

"Madam, Chen'er asked us for help in the letter. We must do whatever it takes to get Chen'er's wish this time."

If Qi Haochen gets what he wants, it means that Qi Chen’s years of hard work have not been in vain.

Although he felt a little regretful that he might not be able to sit in that position, the fact that his son was his biological son also indirectly satisfied his ambition.

"How is your Majesty going to help?"

Shen Yao lay in Qi Chen's arms with a gentle look in her eyes, which quickly calmed Qi Chen's heated mind.

Touching his chin, Qi Chen thought that he could start from the vicinity of Changzhou Prefecture.

"We are here, so it won't be difficult for Chen'er to take action."

At least he could send troops to support the enemy openly and force those people to surrender.

They are all brothers, Qi Chen knows their tempers well, and they are all scared to death. Years of eating, drinking and enjoying life have made them not even have the courage to fight.

Who knows, as soon as Qi Haochen brings out the imperial edict, those people might bow their heads and admit defeat.

Don't think they have any moral integrity. They can always refresh the people below.

Qi Haochen and Qi Chen are father and son, and Qi Chen's ideas can represent Qi Haochen to a certain extent.

Look, Qi Chen suggested to Shen Yao that Qi Haochen should start making trouble around Changzhou Prefecture. Meanwhile, Qi Haochen, who had already set out from the capital, was heading for Changzhou Prefecture where his fiefdom was located.

Of course, Qi Haochen would not return to Changzhou Prefecture. He would go to Daming Prefecture near Changzhou Prefecture. That was the fiefdom of Prince Duan and the place that most reminded him of new and old grudges.

Hehe, if you don’t take revenge, you are not a gentleman. Qi Haochen feels that he should seize this opportunity.

Qi Chen also prepared his men early to meet up with Qi Haochen.

The team leader this time was an acquaintance. Qi Haochen looked at Shen Cheng, who was wearing armor and riding a warhorse in the distance, and called him "Big Brother" with a smile.

Shen Shi also came up on horseback. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for some time, so they clapped and greeted each other.

"With big brother's help, we will definitely be able to catch him this time."

Qi Haochen felt that his biological father still loved him. Oh, he was indeed the most handsome boy.

Shen Cheng carried a letter from home in his arms, "Here, the prince specifically instructed me to do so."

As for the content of the letter, it was nothing more than various instructions and concerns.

Shen Yao was not as annoying as Qi Chen. She only asked Shen Cheng to say a few words, especially that a son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall, so the best thing to do was to protect himself.

"Mom is still so steady." No matter what she does, the first thing to emphasize is safety.

Shen Zhen stuck his head out to relax for a while, secretly regretting that he couldn't go back to his fiefdom for the time being, otherwise why would he have to endure this suffering.
