Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero - v2 Chapter 139
It turned out that Qi You and his people met the eldest prince who fled in a hurry before they arrived in Jinzhou.
The eldest prince escaped from the capital after abolishing the power of nine bulls and two tigers, preparing to go to his wife’s family.
At that time, he was already in disarray, thinking only of Gouquan his own life.
But their whereabouts were too sneaky, and they were discovered by Qi You’s scouts, and they were sent to the King of Bei’an who was going south by accident.
From the mouth of the eldest prince, Qi You learned of many secret affairs in the palace.
What happened in the inner courtyard of the palace was completely unknown to his courtiers, Qi Yi. It was also because of the lack of news in this regard that Qi You made up his mind to take a trip by himself.
After learning from the first prince’s mouth that the prince was dead, and everything was just an illusion set up by Zhu Yan in the imperial city, Qi You thought for a while and returned with someone.
Of course, he also immediately sent a letter to the capital and asked Qi Yi to evacuate directly with the others.
After a few days of recuperation in Qi You’s team, the eldest prince not only recovered from his illness, but also returned with his original spirit.
After arriving in Cangcheng, he got off the carriage when greeted by Qi You, and when he saw Cao Mi and a few children came forward to salute, he only glanced at him lightly, and ordered: “Is the hot water in the courtyard ready? The king is tired, so I have to wash up first. Let’s arrange the reception for tomorrow.”
The eldest prince was deeply loved by the late emperor, and he was crowned king when he was young. Just for the sake of filial piety, he has been living in the capital and has never been sealed.
Like Qi You, in front of outsiders, he also called himself “the king.”
His tone was so natural that Cao Mi wondered for a moment who was the master and who was the guest.
And… in fact, although Qi You sent someone to pass a letter to her a few days ago, he never mentioned this eldest prince at all. Not to mention the hot water banquet, Cao Mi didn’t even ask anyone to clean up the empty yard.
If it wasn’t for Qi You’s omission, it wasn’t because he was wrong, Cao Mi felt—
My own prince doesn’t care about this eldest prince at all.
Fortunately, Qi You came up and gave the housekeeper a look directly, asking him to take the eldest prince and the family members of the eldest prince down together.
After sending the outsider away, Cao Micai asked at a loss, “This… what’s going on?”
Qi You embraced her and walked inside with a few children: “I met him on the road, so I brought it back. Now that the news about Zhu Yanji has not come out, it is still useful to keep him.
“I’ll take care of this matter, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Only then did Cao Mi nodded and said “Okay”.
But despite what Qi You said, Cao Mi still had to entertain the guests of the eldest prince.
The next night, the Wangfuzhong held a reception banquet.
But because Qi You specially ordered it, the scale of the banquet was not large. Because Qi You and the eldest prince are related by blood, this banquet can even be said to be a simple family banquet.
Cao Mi pondered for a moment, handed Xiao Qixin to her wet nurse, and brought the three children to the banquet.
Qi Rui and the twins have now grown into teenagers. Before, they would even accompany Qi You to the invitations of various aristocratic families.
The banquet was peaceful at first, but Cao Mi was a little uncomfortable with the main seat being occupied by a strange man.
But when the wine was in full swing, the eldest prince’s mood was obviously out of control.
He wrinkled his face and cried: “Father! Father! This king can only watch Father Father lose his anger day by day in Zhu Yan’s hands!
“Royal father definitely didn’t die of a sick person as the minister said! Royal father was definitely killed by him!”
Qi You frowned slightly beside him and reassured him a few words.
Cao Mi was still there, and he didn’t want to mention official business, which disturbed the interest of his princess.
But obviously, the drunk eldest prince didn’t want to stop.
Qi You then gave up his persuasion and instead asked: “The first prince said that the late emperor was killed by Zhu Yan… Is there any evidence?”
To his surprise, the eldest prince nodded heavily.
He said: “Of course this king has!”
After saying this, he staggered up from the seat and reached into his arms to search for it.
The thing was so hidden that he searched for it for a while before taking it out.
“This king has the imperial decree of the father!” He shouted loudly: “Before the father was completely controlled, he had already seen Zhu Yan’s intentions.
“He secretly wrote an imperial decree and handed it over to me, appointing this king to succeed the throne!”
Qi An, who was eating quietly, was shocked when he heard the words, and leaned over to talk to Qi Rui next to him.
But Qi Rui glanced vaguely at the eldest and second sons of the eldest prince, who were sitting opposite them, and shook his head imperceptibly.
Qi An immediately understood and sat back again.
Qi You looked at the imperial edict and thought for a while.
He questioned: “The first emperor was still there, and he didn’t intend to abolish the prince… How could it be…”
He didn’t say too much, and only vaguely reminded the eldest prince that there was a more legitimate prince above him.
A normal emperor would not go beyond the long-established heir and instead write an imperial decree to designate another son to inherit the throne.
“What is the prince!” The eldest prince waved his sleeves, “He is a piece of trash!
“My father has long seen that he is unbearable, but, it’s just…”
He lowered his voice, as if he wanted to share a great secret with Qi You: “I just want to protect this king!
“If the prince is abolished, the person who was detained in the palace and died unexpectedly may be the king.”
As if recalling the misery of the prince, he suddenly grinned.
Qi You nodded clearly.
“Uncle, so, that’s why you must help me to regain the throne. Hiccup! Commander, take down that treacherous and absurd minister Zhu Yan, and execute him at the end of the day!” The eldest prince became drunk again.
This time, without waiting for Qi You to speak, the eldest prince concubine ignored his resistance and covered the eldest prince’s mouth.
“The eldest prince is drunk and confused, and he doesn’t want to say anything, please don’t mind the prince and princess!” This woman with a strong family style is jujudo.
After getting the shakes of Qi You and Cao Mi, and knowing that they didn’t take those words to heart, she said to her husband, “Your Highness, how can you call yourself ‘Zhen’ before you ascend the throne?
“Please be careful!”
The eldest prince also realized at this time that he had lost his temper.
But he didn’t care, waved his hand to break free of her restraint, turned his head and said to Qi You again: “Uncle Huang, you, listen to me.”
In terms of seniority, the late emperor also called Qi You “uncle”. The eldest prince now has a request for Qi You, and it is very respectful to move out this title.
“Zhen… ah no, this king, this king wants to make you a marshal!” He straightened his eyes and said, “The Liao soldiers are strong and strong, yes, they are capable of one enemy and three.
“In a few days, we will raise our troops to the south and completely destroy that old thief Zhu Yan!
“Things, after this is done, this king will be enthroned as the new emperor. All kinds of benefits will definitely be indispensable to you. Haha, what fiefs, women…you can have whatever you want.”
“It is the duty of this king to raise troops to revolt.” Although he was a little bored, Qi You still respectfully said: “The eldest prince does not need to promise these…”
“Why not!” The eldest prince stood up against the table.
He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something important, until he glanced at Qi Rui, the three children, and suddenly remembered something.
“Yes, yes!” The eldest prince asked with a big tongue: “This king remembers that the Bei’an Palace, didn’t you add a little daughter last year?”
Without waiting for Qi You’s confirmation, he pointed to his son and said, “In this way, this king will make the decision today and betroth her to this king’s eldest son, Qi Hui, Qi Hui, come and meet your Yue family!”
As soon as he said these words, Qi You’s face darkened.
Not to mention that this kind of marriage cooperation is not in line with human ethics and etiquette. How long has my little daughter even been hugged by the King of Bei’an himself, someone here is coveted.
When the eldest prince said these words, it could be said that even the five members of the Bei’an Wangfu family were offended.
At this point, Qi Rui simply called out the guards outside the door and asked them to directly send the eldest prince’s family back to the courtyard to rest.
The eldest prince was supported by two soldiers, so he could barely stand still, but until he left, he continued to mutter: “At that time, you don’t have to stay in this poor place in Liaozhou, and you don’t have to guard a tigress, even a concubine. Don’t dare to pick it up from the backyard…”
The guards in the palace knew how serious his words were. This time, they no longer expected to be gentle, and they directly used all their strength to drag the eldest prince down as quickly as possible, dragging a pig to death.
A dinner party that broke up.
After the outsiders left, Qi You breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Cao Mi and said, “Let’s go back too.”
Cao Mi deeply felt that she was offended by the first prince, but the suppression of her identity was there, and she was not easy to find the original owner to vent her anger.
So she simply acted willfully, turned her anger on Qi You, turned around and took care of her three children, and said, “Let’s go, you and your mother go back.”
Qi Rui and the twins were trapped between their parents, unable to move in and out, and they didn’t dare to come out. Cao Mi was so wrapped up, so they hesitated and followed her away.
Qi You smiled helplessly, followed closely behind them, and returned to the inner courtyard together.
When Xiao Qixin, who had just been fed dinner by her nurse, saw Cao Mi coming back, she waved her hand excitedly and called out, “Mother! Mother!”
Cao Mi’s heart suddenly softened.
She stepped forward and picked up the little girl, hugged her and kissed her.
Qi An also made her laugh for a while, and suddenly said with deep eyes: “That Qi Hui, at first glance, it is not a good thing.
“Just like him, still want to marry our sister?”
Even Qi Rui, who always only reminded him to be cautious in his words and deeds, nodded in agreement this time, and said, “Idiot talking about a dream!”
Qi Ran stared at Qi Xin closely and said, “My sister can’t get married! Just stay at home, there is everything at home!”
Qi You glanced at them and said, “It’s late at night, you go down and rest.”
At this time, it was obviously not long after dinner, and his reason was really clumsy.
But he was so dignified that the three princes of the palace did not dare to refute him, so they saluted and left.
After a while, the nurse also carried away the sleepy little daughter of the palace.
“That eldest prince… You don’t really want to help him ascend to the throne, do you?” Cao Mi suddenly asked with only the two of them left in the room.
She pursed her lips, and suddenly confirmed again: “The tip I gave you before… Have you read it?”
“I saw it.” Qi You admitted frankly, “I watched it before you came back to Cannes.”
“Then you…” Cao Mi was a little puzzled.
“I know what I know.” Qi You stepped forward, hugged her in his arms and coaxed: “Don’t mention him, the princess is angry, this king has more important things to do first…”
Cao Mi feigned an angry look at him, but soon he was too tired to think about these things.
