Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

After Cui Shi resigned, Xiao Ji's anger still remained on his face, and he turned to complain to Lian Yi, the internal servant at the side:

"Xiao Jie is relying on my favor, and it's really getting more and more outrageous. Can assassination be used for fun? What should we do if something goes wrong?"

Lian Yi laughed dryly, but did not dare to answer.

He followed Xiao Ji every day, so he naturally knew where Xiao Ji's anger came from.

People from the Jiaozhou Division of the Qilin Guard entered the capital before Xiao Jie's men. Xiao Ji heard that Xiao Jie had been poisoned by an assassin in Panyu. The whole of Panyu hunted down the murderer, but fortunately Xiao Jie's secret letter arrived. Xiao Ji heaved a sigh of relief, but was full of anger and needed to vent, and Cui Shi became the unlucky ghost.

Although Cui Shi is gone now, seeing that the emperor is still angry, Lian Yi is not easy to answer this question.

Seeing that Lian Yi didn't reply to him for a long time, Xiao Ji glanced sideways at Lian Yi and snorted coldly: "Old man, I was asking you something, why didn't you reply to me?"

Lian Yi saw that he really couldn't hide, so he could only continue to laugh dryly, and echoed: "Your Majesty is very right, His Royal Highness King Qi really made too much noise this time, how can anyone use assassination as a joke, he should be scolded and punished , Your Majesty should issue a decree to admonish him."

"Decree... what decree!" Xiao Ji rolled his eyes at Lian Yi, angrily and amusedly said, "According to Qilinwei's news, he should be in a coma due to severe poisoning, you want me to order him to lie in bed Great person?"

Lian Yi seemed to have realized his slip of the tongue all of a sudden, hastily slapped himself a few times, and apologized: "Your Majesty calm down, it's because the old slave didn't think carefully."

After Jing Lianyi made such a fuss, Xiao Ji's anger disappeared more than half, but he still said with a cold face: "I am not angry with you, I am angry with that rebellious son, who is full of conspiracy and tricks, and I don't know who to learn from. Even if he uses these dirty tricks, can't he go on the right path and learn from the ancient sages how to convince people with virtue?"

Lian Yi laughed at the side and said: "Your Majesty, this just shows that His Highness King Qi's mind is very intelligent, and he doesn't stick to following the rules, and this old servant admires him."

Xiao Ji stared, and said angrily: "You are the same as the queen, and you can speak for him, which makes him become more and more lawless. I really don't know what benefits he has given you, and treat him like this."

Lian Yi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground in a hurry and cried, "Your Majesty, I have served the emperor for many years. I only have the emperor in my heart. I have never taken any favors from His Highness King Qi, nor to the benefit of anyone else."

"Look at how scared you are. It's cold on the ground, get up, I'm not talking about you." Xiao Ji couldn't bear to see Lian Yi scared like this, "You, you are really human The older you are, the less courageous you are, I'm not talking about you, but someone else."

Only then did Lian Yi heave a long sigh of relief, and tremblingly stood up from the ground, but Xiao Ji's face was still gloomy.

Lian Yi understood Xiao Ji's meaning. Since Xiao Jie went to Jiaozhou to take up his post, many people agreed that the most promising king of Qi had been eliminated. Suddenly, except for the three young princes, the other eight princes seemed to be together overnight. Seeing the hope of becoming the master of the East Palace, they all intervened in the dispute over the succession.

In order to increase their chances of winning the position of crown prince, these princes are trying to win over the officials outside, hoping to get more support from officials, and inside they are asking about the emperor's daily life and preferences, hoping to do what his father likes. Win the favor of the father.

For example, a few days ago, when Xiao Ji and the queen were chatting in the Imperial Garden, they accidentally mentioned the roseberry wine from the Western Regions that they drank in Hexi that year. As a result, it didn't take long for Qilinwei to send news that several The prince sent an upright person to venture to the Western Regions day and night, just to buy back rose peach wine...

If it hadn't been for empress Sun's persuasive persuasion, none of the eunuchs and maids who accompanied him in the imperial garden that day would have survived.

But when Xiao Ji thought of this, he still felt angry in his heart. His father is still in his prime, so these sons can't wait to take over Daning's Jiangshan Sheji?

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Jie is actually a filial son. Apart from being slanted and likes to play tricks, he can also help himself a lot internally and externally.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ji's anger towards Xiao Jie was completely dissipated, and he remembered the Empress Sun mentioned just now, so he asked: "By the way, tell the Empress that I will go to her Jiaofang Palace for lunch today. .”

Lian Yi's expression was a bit perplexed: "Your Majesty, the empress left the palace early this morning, and I don't know if she will return to the palace at noon."

Xiao Ji was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Where did she go when she left the palace?"

In Xiao Ji's impression, Empress Sun usually dislikes going out of the palace the most.

Lian Yi said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, I heard from the people in Jiaofang Palace that they have gone to Prince Qi's mansion. They said that the Empress herself made some snacks from her hometown and brought them to Princess Qi to taste."

Xiao Ji shook his head and smiled. It seemed that Empress Sun really regarded Princess Qi as her daughter-in-law and the child in her belly as her grandson.

In fact, Empress Sun also mentioned to herself once, openly and secretly, that she hoped that Xiao Ji would allow her to adopt Xiao Jie under her own name, so that she would become Xiao Jie's legitimate mother instead of being a aunt.

There is an unwritten rule in the clan, that is, if a prince loses his mother before reaching the weak crown, he can be adopted under the name of a concubine who has nothing to do. Now Xiao Jie is only 17 years old, so he can adopt to Empress Sun as a son.

Xiao Ji didn't directly refuse, but said that Xiao Jie had lost his mother not long ago and was still in the filial piety period, and asked Queen Sun to wait a little longer.

In fact, the real reason is that Xiao Ji didn't want to overly stimulate other sons who were still fighting for the heir apparent. After all, once Xiao Jie was adopted to Empress Sun, it meant that Xiao Jie would gain a status similar to that of the son of the first son. For the other princes and the courtiers and families who supported them, it was like a bolt from the blue, which would cause a storm in the court and the public, and Xiao Jie would also become the target of everyone's criticism. Now Xiao Jie is still young and fledgling, Xiao Ji Really worried that he wouldn't be able to take it, and it would end up destroying him instead.Therefore, Xiao Ji would rather delay Empress Sun for some more time.

What's more, Xiao Jie is his Xiao Ji's son, and the other princes are also his Xiao Ji's sons. He is still willing to give each son an equal opportunity to compete for the crown prince.

Only his best son is qualified to take over Daning's Jiangshan Sheji.
