Dianxia Qingcheng

The imperial palace of the Celestial Dynasty stayed up all night.

Qi Changyi was escorted by several people, and walked out of the Crown Prince's East Palace in a daze.

Qi Hanlian walked in front, surrounded by many guards wearing weapons, each holding torches, brocade armor, fully armed, ready to attack at any time.

The queue of guards extended to the palace where the emperor lived. A large number of guards had gathered in the open space outside the palace. Some were from the East Palace, and some were personal soldiers recruited by the prince's henchmen without authorization.

These people have been around here for a long time. The candles in the emperor's bedroom are always bright, but there is no sound inside.

Qi Hanlian walked to the door and knocked on it pretendingly.

"Father, it's my son, my son has come to visit my father."

The door of the palace was opened, the old eunuch looked dignified, and cupped his hands towards Qi Hanlian, "Your Highness, the emperor has already rested, please go back first."

After speaking, I wanted to close the door directly.

Qi Hanlian put his hand on the door, squinted his eyes and smiled, he was clearly the crown prince of a country, but there was an air of insidiousness and cunning.

"You get out of the way."

The old eunuch tried secretly, trying to close the door, but he couldn't.

"His Royal Highness! The emperor is inconvenient today, and it is really inconvenient to see you! You, are you trying to resist the order and disrespect!"

"You old bastard, dare to stop the prince!"

Qi Hanlian said impatiently, "Come here, pull him down for me, let him see the tricks of this prince!"

A few people ran over from behind to pull the old eunuch down.

The old eunuch straightened his back, as if he would rather die than surrender.

"stop."

A voice came from inside the door, accompanied by a few suppressed coughs, "Is it the prince, come in."

Qi Hanlian sneered at the old eunuch, kicked him aside, and walked into the palace, followed by several guards behind him.

The old eunuch curled up on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

"Eunuch, are you okay? Can you stand up?"

A pair of small hands supported the old eunuch's arm, trying to lift him up from the ground.

The old eunuch looked up, and saw that His Royal Highness was kneeling beside him, looking at him with worried eyes.

He grabbed Qi Changyi's arm, his voice trembling, "Little Highness, why are you here? You, you shouldn't be here!"

Qi Changyi didn't know why he was so emotional, so he replied honestly, "The prince arrested me and brought me here with him."

"What! Could it be that the crown prince already knows? No, the emperor never told anyone, not even Mr. Pei. How did the crown prince get the news?"

Before the two of them finished speaking, Qi Changyi was pulled up by two guards and pushed to go into the palace.

"Your Highness!" the old eunuch shouted, "Be careful!"

While being pushed away, Qi Changyi looked back at the figure of the old eunuch, but unfortunately, he had already been dragged away by several guards.

Qi Changyi turned his head, his eyes became hot, and tears filled his pair of star pupils.

Arriving at the inner hall, Qi Hanlian was standing outside the emperor's dragon couch, with a thin curtain separating his front.

"Father, you don't know if your health will recover. The throne is reserved for me anyway. It doesn't matter if it's later or earlier? You say so."

Qi Hanlian's tone showed no respect or reverence at all, and the wolfish ambition in his words was fully exposed, but the matter has come to this point, the guards of the Eastern Palace outside have controlled the entire imperial palace, and he has nothing to fear.

"You also know that this seat will be yours sooner or later! Then what are you doing now! Are you trying to kill the king!"

It's not that the emperor didn't know that the crown prince made small gangs and tricks in private, but he never expected that Qi Hanlian would do this.

How dare he bring guards to his bedroom to force him to abdicate!

"Father, although this son-in-law said this, it doesn't mean that son-in-law is a fool. Do you think I don't know? You have long wanted to abolish me as the crown prince, don't you? You never wanted to pass on this throne to me. Me! Just because I am the eldest son, you have no choice but to make me the prince, but before I start to make a difference, you transferred me to the south of the Yangtze River with an imperial decree, isn't it true that you can't see it?"

Qi Hanlian's eyes were reddish, pointing at the people in the tent, complaining every word.

"My mother and concubine are not favored, so you don't even like me and look down on me. You like that collaborator and treasonous woman, so you like her son very much. Even this fool, this fool, You can hide him in the palace and raise him well, so why should I live in the backcountry in the Jiangnan countryside! Now that I'm back, you don't even bother to look at me when I'm back."

Qi Changyi stared blankly at Qi Hanlian, he didn't expect that as a prince, he would have so many unhappy things, and he didn't expect that his own existence would cause so much harm to others.

"Brother Prince"

There was a soft call, clearly full of comfort, but at this moment it deeply stimulated Qi Hanlian's tense nerves.

Qi Hanlian wiped his eyes viciously, and with fierce eyes, he pulled Qi Changyi over, and pressed his face against the curtain.

"Since you love him so much, then you should take a last look at your little son. After all, after I ascended the throne, the first thing I did was to kill him and his brother."

"You, how dare you touch their brothers?" The figure inside struggled to sit up from the bed, "I will never let you go, you idiot!"

child! "

Qi Hanlian's subordinates could not help but increase their strength, tightly pinching the back of his subordinate's neck.

"Why, did you poke your sore spot? Who do you want to leave the throne to, thinking that I really don't know? Many ministers in the court support me. They have already told me secretly. It will not take a few days. You will abolish me, the Lord of the East Palace, with a decree, and then"

The figure inside the curtain froze, the emperor stood up with difficulty, and lifted the curtain staggeringly.

The person who appeared behind the curtain was an old man, his eyes were cloudy and bloodshot.

Seeing him like this, Qi Hanlian felt nothing in his heart, only endless loathing and hatred. He looked sideways at Qi Changyi, "Then you will make his elder brother the crown prince and the fourth prince Qi Changfeng the crown prince. Yes or no!"

The emperor paused, but did not answer him, only said, "Let go of Yi'er."

Qi Hanlian snorted coldly, but he really let go of Qi Changyi. When Qi Changyi wanted to hug his father, he suddenly pulled his arm and threw him back.

Qi Changyi's waist hit the desk behind him, and he bent down in pain.

The emperor glanced nervously at Qi Changyi, then pointed at Qi Hanlian's nose angrily, trembling with anger, "You are a beast! You are right

No matter how much I have resentment, it must be directed at me. Although Yi'er grew up in the palace, he is also a child who has suffered so much. It is not your turn to do anything to him! "

As soon as these words came out, Qi Hanlian laughed out loud. He suddenly pulled out the sword from the guard next to him, and walked slowly to Qi Changyi's side.

"With an old man like you who cares about him so much and loves him so much, how can he suffer. Besides, he is not a child anymore"

The blade of the sword walked along Qi Changyi's robe, and gently lifted the corners.

"You think he's really stupid and has no plans. Secretly, I'm afraid that he has been played by many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. This face is so handsome.

It's an appearance of seducing a man, really embarrassing our royal family! "

"Qi Hanlian! Take back what you just said!"

Qi Hanlian's sword pointed at Qi Changyi's neck, and he looked at the emperor with red eyes, "It's about this time! You are still facing him and speaking for him!"

The sword touched the white neck.

Qi Changyi was forced to look up, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, his neck was stiff and he didn't dare to move, the biting chill was against his warm skin, and a little force could cut through the weak throbbing arteries underneath.

Qi Hanlian winked, someone handed a drafted imperial decree to the emperor, he gritted his teeth and said, "The imperial edict of succession must be written by the emperor himself, you just need to copy the words on it, and I will let him go naturally, Otherwise, I could kill him right now."

The emperor was out of breath, and suddenly coughed up blood.

Qi Changyi said nervously, "Father, how are you?"

The blade of the sword accidentally scratched Qi Changyi's skin, and some blood came out, but he didn't seem to feel it at all. He looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to help him, but he couldn't reach it. he.

Seeing that Qi Changyi was injured, the emperor couldn't help but whispered, "Okay! You let Yi'er go, I, write ___"

Wrote tremblingly on the yellow satin, "Today, passed on at Yiyi"

Before the next words were finished, there was a sudden noise from outside.

The door of the hall opened, and two guards escorted a person in, and pushed the person to kneel in the center of the inner hall.

Qi Hanlian saw who it was, and immediately laughed.

"Father, is this the person you want to pass on the throne? I thought it would be a long time since I met you, so why not just kneel down in front of me now?"

Qi Changfeng was escorted all the way here in a hurry, he described it as a bit embarrassed, but he quickly saw the current situation clearly, it must be that Donggong wanted to seize the throne forcibly while the emperor was seriously ill!

However, what do you mean by saying that you are the candidate to be passed on?

"Don't be dazed, my father, keep writing."

Qi Changfeng glanced at the satin, and suddenly understood, and shouted to the emperor, "Father! You can't write it! You can't let him get away with it! The kingdom of heaven can't fall into the hands of someone like him!"

Qi Hanlian slapped Qi Changfeng's face suddenly, his eyes were blurred and he fell to the ground.

"What kind of person is this prince, you need to waste your time! When this prince succeeds to the throne, I will pull out your tongue first!"

The emperor frowned, there was no other way, the only way now was to do as he said.

But before the tip of the pen touched the satin, Qi Changfeng suddenly rushed over like crazy, grabbed the pen from the emperor, messed up the forged silk painting, threw it on the ground, and then pulled the emperor back a few steps, blocking in front of him.

When Qi Hanlian came to his senses, the silk on the ground could no longer be seen. He shouted angrily, "Qi Changfeng! What are you doing! Are you crazy!"

Qi Changfeng wiped the blood from his mouth, stared at Qi Hanlian firmly, "Anyway, you are already crazy. If you force the father to write a letter of succession

He snapped off the brush and pressed it against the emperor's neck, "Then I don't mind going crazy with you to the end! Anyway, the abolition of the crown prince has been written, and you will not be the emperor no matter what!"

Qi Hanlian was extremely shocked, he didn't believe that Qi Changfeng really dared to make a move.

Pulling up Qi Changyi who was on the ground, Qi Hanlian's sword stuck to his neck again, just rubbing against the wound just now, more blood flowed down his fair neck and into his robe .

"Believe it or not, you dare not kill that old thing, but I dare to kill him."

The emperor looked at Qi Changyi bleeding profusely, he was afraid to the core, he really didn't know his eldest son well enough, he didn't know if he would really dare to kill, but he knew that Qi Changfeng definitely wouldn't.

"Changfeng, let me go, I wrote to him that Yi'er is already injured, if this continues, his life will be in danger."

Qi Changfeng stood still.

Qi Hanlian's sword stabbed a little deeper, Qi Changyi moaned in pain, his little face was pale and bloodless.

"Changfeng! Let me go! Don't you want to disobey the order!"

"Father, for the sake of the great cause of the celestial dynasty, I will not obey my orders! Rescue soldiers will arrive soon, remember him forever, and I will survive."

The emperor widened his eyes and looked at Qi Changfeng sideways, "Changfeng, that's your real brother! It's fine if others don't care about him, how can you be so careless!"

Qi Changfeng turned his eyes away, and couldn't bear to look at Qi Changyi's eyes, the palm of his hand holding the tip of the writing brush was cut, and blood fell to the ground drop by drop, and his heart was actually suffering.

Seeing that Qi Changfeng was unmoved, Qi Hanlian lowered his head and sneered.

"Poor kid, look at that fourth brother of yours. At the critical moment, you want Jiangshan not to be a little beauty like you. It's a pity that the prince also wants Jiangshan, so I can only sacrifice you first, and then I will concentrate on dealing with you." Fellow brother."

Qi Changyi kept looking in Qi Changfeng's direction, he didn't believe that the fourth brother would treat him like this, but why didn't the fourth brother look at him?If he was really going to die, wouldn't he want to take one last look at himself?

"Don't cry, I feel sorry for crying so much, the prince brother can't bear to do it."

As Qi Hanlian spoke, he raised the cold sword high in his hand, and stabbed at the trembling little man under the sword.

Unexpectedly, before the sword fell down, another sword flew over from behind, quickly and fiercely knocked down the sword in Qi Hanlian's hand, and with a flash of cold light, all four fingers were cut off, falling to the ground.

Qi Hanlian's fingers turned cold, he stared blankly at his crippled palm, then suddenly yelled, and slapped Qi Changyi's back with his palm, sending him flying.

Qi Changyi didn't hit anything, but was caught in the air and landed firmly on the ground.

The man hugged the little man, the pain in his eyes was so strong that it was about to melt away.
