This is a decision made by Qi Jing after experiencing the initial daze and fear.

The process of really making up his mind was actually not as difficult as he imagined, and he even had a bit of expectation in his heart that he could finally relax.

Thinking about it carefully, in his previous life, he was not obsessed with pursuing any power and position, but he was so obstinate in order to please his mother, Yu Zhaoyi.

In this life, Qi Jing hopes that the second brother can get what he wants, because among the several princes, he is the closest to Qi Heng, and he believes that with the protection of the second brother in the future, he can live a more comfortable life.

But now that the second brother Huang is gone, he has to take on this responsibility and try his best to protect his wife and children, just like saving Little Eleven back then, first of all, let them live, so that there is no possibility of talking about the future.

Abandoning everything in Beijing and starting over elsewhere is their way of dying and reviving.

If there is no accident, the emperor's wife will give birth to a son with martial arts, and this child will definitely become a thorn in the side of some people and a thorn in the flesh.

Although in the eyes of Zhaoyi, Anguo Gongfu and even the Du family, the young prince will be the only hope for Prince Heng's family, but when they really want to fight with their lives, how much hope do they have?

It would take a few years just to wait for Xiaoshizi to grow up and enlighten, not to mention how long he would have to wait for him to be both civil and military.

During this time, not to mention how much planning the fifth and sixth sons can do, even the elder brother may have taken charge again.

Just as he was worried about leaving little eleven alone in the palace, Qi Jing was not optimistic that the emperor's grandmother and father could protect them all the time.

Qi Jing thought that the reason why the emperor's wife has no will to live now is because she is afraid of this obvious future.

One day, her own family, the grandfather of Prince Heng, who were supposed to be the closest people to their husband and wife, killed Prince Heng's only heir because of their pursuit of profit. At that time, how would she face the loss of her husband, The pain of bereavement, and how to deal with these so-called relatives... Rather than bear these things, it is better to go with the second prince now.

Qi Jing didn't think it was surprising that Mrs. Huang had such pessimistic thoughts, and it turned out that her hunch was quite accurate.

After the Seventh Prince was poisoned to death, the answer is obvious as to whose turn it will be to bear these schemes.

But now that Qi Jing has Shaoxuan, Shiyi and Xiao Chiyu, how could he be willing to die.

Just thinking about Shaoxuan's focused eyes, Xiao Shiyi's coquettish appearance, and Xiao Akabane's bouncing and lively energy, he wants to live another 500 years to be with them!

There is a reason to live, and he has accumulated the power to keep them alive, so he cannot agree with Du Shi's way of solving the problem.

He has already planned to mention the matter of the fiefdom to his father when his father wakes up and his situation is stable.

It was extremely dangerous for a prince to take the initiative to ask for a fiefdom from the emperor, but after experiencing what happened during this period of time, the emperor had different calculations in his mind.

At the beginning, the emperor asked Qi Jing to take Shiyi out of the palace, but now he can understand why he wanted to take the second emperor's youngest son out of Tianjing.

Escaping from the capital may not be the most fundamental solution to the problem.

After all, the old fifth's fear of the young prince will not disappear when they leave Tianjing.

But once you leave the center of power, the chance and degree of being affected by the storm will be greatly reduced.

It's like two big cats confronting each other in Beijing. Even if they still remember that there is a little milk cat in the distance, it is clear at a glance which one is more threatening to them.

Should we concentrate on dealing with the big cats who are equal and rivaling us, or should we focus on dealing with a kitten who is temporarily unable to deal with the wind and waves, and may even be unable to deal with it forever? I believe it is easy to make a decision. choose.

When the fifth and sixth biggest threats no longer come from Prince Heng's Mansion, but from each other, it will buy time for Qi Jing and the others.

This precious time is the time for Xiao Shizi to grow up safely.

Qi Jing didn't think it was an escape, a compromise, or a sign of cowardice, but rather judged the situation.

But doing so is not completely without risk, and it is not without cost.

Once the dust of the reserve position in Beijing and China settles, the winning side will inevitably remember this growing kitten again.

Unless this person has already become the emperor, he will definitely not take it lightly.

This is where the risk lies—they have been away from Tianjing for a long time, have less contact with the palace, have no news, and will be weaker in the future to fight back.

However, there are always two sides to one thing. It is the best policy to weigh the pros and cons and choose the most suitable method at present.

……

When Mrs. Huang asked the question about how easy it was, he knew that he had guessed what Mrs. Huang was thinking and had almost convinced her.

Qi Jing thought that the current Du family should be even more entangled than the eldest sister Huang back then.

On the one hand, she definitely wants to leave a son for Prince Heng, but on the other hand, she may also hope that this child will be a daughter, so there is no need to worry about her safety.

But Qi Jing can't wait until she knows the gender of the child.

If Mrs. Du or An Guogong's mansion were given some more time, he was afraid that the emperor's wife would be influenced by them and change her mind like in her previous life, so she had to strike while the iron was hot while she was finally out of the palace.

Sister-in-law Huang's own thinking was basically the same as his.This is something to be thankful for, because only in this way, what they are going to do later can be smoother.

"If I'm not sure, I won't mention it to my sister-in-law." Qi Jing wanted to be as confident as possible, and wanted to arouse Du Shi's desire to survive first, so he behaved very calmly.

Previously, the Seventh Prince Du saw in Ci'an Palace and Prince Heng were all lively and eloquent. It is really rare to see such a serious Seventh Prince.

People who seem to be unsteady suddenly become calm, and the feeling it brings is completely different.

So just seeing Qi Jing's current appearance, Du Shi couldn't help but want to believe him for once.

At this time, in order to reassure some people as much as possible, it is not enough to just make this decision. There are still some things that need to be considered in advance, lest His Majesty will not be able to explain why in front of His Majesty.

For example, where to ask for a fief is a question to consider.

This matter is very important, so important that if the choice is good, the fifth and sixth princes can disapprove of them, but if the choice is not good, it will attract more attention.

After meeting Shaoxuan, Qi Jing's idea has always been to choose to live by the sea, but the fief cannot be on or near the Laiyi Peninsula.

Firstly, the Laiyi Peninsula is Prince Feng's sphere of influence, which is very unfavorable for them who are newcomers; secondly, if the young prince is too close to An Guogong, it is easy to arouse some people's associations, which may cause more suspicion on the contrary. The gain outweighs the loss.

After the death of the second emperor's brother, the emperor's grandmother and father will definitely protect Prince Heng's mansion for a long time.

At this time, if Qi Jing said a few more words, it was very likely that he would get what he wanted.

Although in a sense, it took advantage of the empress dowager and the emperor's sympathy for Prince Heng's mansion, but at this time, Qi Jing couldn't care less - being able to protect the only flesh and blood of the second emperor brother was more important than anything else.

Cangbo in the northeast, or Yucheng in the southeast, are Qi Jing's favorite places.

Both are by the sea, and both are in places where several princes guarding the border are intertwined. Living in this kind of place, you don't have to worry about monsters, and because it belongs to a place where all parties are more cautious, there is room for survival.

Take Yucheng as an example, Qi Jing has been transporting things from Yucheng in order to allow Shaoxuan to use the sea water and the food in the sea.

Compared with the Laiyi Peninsula, which is mostly under the eyes of Prince Feng, and it is difficult for Qi Jing to escape the other party's sight, Yucheng, which is closer to the fiefdom of King Zhengjun, is a place that Prince Feng is not easy to set foot in.

Because once he made any move, it was bound to attract the attention of Duke Zheng.

Although King Zhengjun is his nephew, he is also the prince who guards one side, so how could he allow the uncle to stick his hand near his own territory and ignore it.

In the same way, the king of Canjun lives in the north, and Cangbo County in the northeast also has such an advantage.

Qi Jing thought about it for a long time and picked it out on purpose. It was originally for the future, but he didn't expect to be so shy in front of his father so soon to beg for it.

At that time, let the emperor's wife go to ask the queen mother in person, so that the young son can get a nearby county as a fief, and then they move together, so that he can take care of the orphans and widows of this family nearby.

Seeing that Mrs. Du's complexion was different, Qi Jing couldn't reveal more to Mrs. Du, but just hinted a few more words before leaving Prince Heng's mansion.

Yu Zhaoyi and An Guogong's government will soon know his plan, and he can imagine how unwilling the other party will be.

But no matter how unwilling, so what, he will be the master of his own in this life.

……

Back in the palace, Qi Jing knew that when he left the palace, his father woke up briefly, but he didn't recognize anyone, and fell asleep again.

This is actually good news, even the imperial doctor said that no matter how well he rests, His Majesty should wake up completely in a few days.

As the emperor's condition improved, the queen mother could also take care of Prince Heng and Princess Heng, so she asked Lao Qi to answer in front of her and ask about Du's situation.

"Lao Qi has a solution," the Empress Dowager finally felt relieved after hearing Qi Jing's reply: "Let Prince Heng and Concubine Heng take good care of her body, don't worry too much."

Qi Jing didn't mention to her that he wanted to go to the fief in advance, so as not to add to the worries of the emperor's grandmother.

All the concubines in the palaces have been sent back to rest by the Queen Mother, she asked Qi Jing to go to the Wensi Hall to see Yu Zhaoyi: "Yu Zhaoyi has always been weak, after staying in the side hall for so many days, she looks haggard, the second child is not here , you need to persuade her to be at ease."

No one in the palace knew that Yu Zhaoyi treated the second prince as his own, and Qi Heng was even better than Qi Jing.

Now that the second prince is gone, Yu Zhaoyi must be counted among the hardest hit people in the palace.

Knowing that he was going now, Qi Jing would have to listen to Yu Zhaoyi's reprimand, but the emperor's grandmother had orders, and Qi Jing could not be perfunctory, so after coming out of Zichen Hall, he went to Wensi Hall.

Sure enough, as he expected, Yu Zhaoyi, who was supposed to rest, sat upright, waiting for him to come.

However, Yu Zhaoyi didn't have time to speak, and the Seventh Prince didn't even have time to speak, when a member of the palace ran in with panicked expressions.

I saw him throwing himself on the ground, anxiously saying:

"His...His Royal Highness, there is news from Jizhou that...the second prince is in Changlong!"
