In the huge imperial study, the emperor sat behind the desk, and the eldest prince stood in front of the desk.

The emperor raised his head to look at him, Xiao Changning stood dignified in a plain robe, with somewhat similar eyebrows drooping, unable to see the expression in his eyes.

"Tell me." He said slowly.

Huang Tai understands the behavior of his younger brother, and the layout is not for the sake of a bright fish.

Xiao Changning has never seen a rabbit or a hawk, and works stably and ruthlessly. If no one told him something and misled him into thinking that this would work, he wouldn't have made such a big deal to create fraud.

There were only four or six competing princesses in the palace, as well as a sick fifth and a once injured eldest.

The eldest is a martial arts woman who loves to lead soldiers to fight in order to guard the common people of Yili. So even if have a disability, still feel that it is a medal for protecting the country, and have never felt inferior.

But it's true that I don't love the palace. If it's not a major event, I don't usually go to the palace, and I usually don't go out. I only occasionally go to the martial arts field for a walk.

However, heard that was very satisfied with Shi Qingji's proposal to conduct an assessment of military generals, and it was implemented in the military generals in Beijing.

The queen of hers, she is open-minded and open-minded. She is the pride of being a mother, and will not play dark tricks to seduce people's hearts in private.

The fourth child grew up with the eldest.

When the emperor gave birth to a daughter, she was the most threatening princess in the palace, so she invited herself to go to the frontier to experience, and did not return to Beijing with the eldest princess until the frontier war subsided.

Young and intelligent, plus many years of fighting, or the eldest princess's "sex" personality is careless and impulsive and needs to be pulled by someone, so she developed the "sex" that the fourth princess is now silent and reserved.

For those who are in position, what they want is to listen more, see more, talk less and do more.

The four princesses are the best among all the princesses. The emperor also placed great hopes on his daughter.

As for the fifth child, the child is frail and frail from birth, and he does not fight for everything.

It's just that compared to the other people, especially the old sixth, the "sex" doesn't seem to be frank enough.

But the dragon gave birth to nine daughters, each of which is different. In addition to the environment in which he lives, the emperor has always seldom criticized him, and even often encouraged him to do what he wanted to do, and let himself think about it.

The last, and the most competitive, is the sixth.

The Zhen family is considered a century-old family of scholarly families, with countless disciples and disciples, and the emperor and noble monarch taught by them is also dignified.

General Qi and backing are the most favorable advantages of the sixth.

It is also the most missing thing.

So who is the person behind the eldest prince, the emperor is also somewhat uncertain.

No one wants to doubt it, but no one has doubted it.

Sitting in a position, not only a mother, but also an emperor.

Allow children to compete and compete to improve themselves and become better.

But it is absolutely intolerable. For their own selfish interests, some people make fun of the fate of scholars all over the world, and use Enke's justice and the court's credibility and majesty to achieve their goals.

A new emperor can have shortcomings and deficiencies, and that is the reason why ministers are needed.

The ruler and the ministers complement each other, and the inner stability can not be afraid of trouble.

However, the new emperor cannot be narrow-minded and short-sighted. If so, the imperial court will surely perish.

The emperor is not a faint-hearted emperor, he is old, but he is not confused yet. Before closing his eyes, he is absolutely not allowed to exist among the queens of the harem.

, and no one is allowed to stretch their hands too long, and the queens are left and right.

"In the second enclosure case, I crossed out your words with a red pen instead of making another copy. Don't you understand what I mean?"

That was already a warning.

Xiao Changning raised his eyes, his eyes were still calm. They are all people who have experienced storms, and now, the only way to calm down is to calm down.

"My younger brother understands, and my younger brother did well later on, didn't he?"

After the fall of Prime Minister Sun, when the Qian family was dominant, the eldest prince openly hated the Qian family on the grounds that Qian Cancan was entangled in Shen Yu.

He secretly attacked Qian's mother's potential, which gave the Shi family a chance to grow up. Finally, the family checked and balanced, and the power was concentrated on the emperor.

If it wasn't for him, Mother Qian would have seized the opportunity to shove Qian Huanhuan away. If Mother Qian hadn't been beaten and restrained, Shiqing was a censor, how could she have crossed the Ministry of Accounts to collect the money owed by the treasury?

The eldest prince felt that he did a good job and cooperated well with the royal sister.

The emperor nodded slowly, "Okay, then I'll ask you again, what about the assassination of the imperial emissary?"

"The crime was ultimately blamed on Qian Yu leaning over, but Li Yunqing's confession list, in addition to you."

Only later, because of insufficient evidence, did not pursue it further.

Xiao Changning said: "Li Yunqing is in the Ministry of Rites, and his heart is in the Ministry of Household. If you have the opportunity, you will naturally get rid of them. If it can be successful, it will be the best. If it can't be successful, it will not be a loss without personal eyeliner."

If the Qian family was no longer a threat, would Qian Huanhuan be safe in the Ministry of Rites now?

Xiao Changning clenched his fingers and raised his eyes to look at the emperor, "Is the emperor going to ask about Enke this time next? Then the younger brother will tell you."

"It was me who made people peek at the exam questions, it was me who designed the candidates to cheat, and it was me who incited literati riots. I just wanted to get rid of the sixth princess and pave the way for the fourth princess."

There was no half-truth in what he said.

"According to my younger brother, the most suitable candidate for the throne is the fourth princess. If I don't help, how can I compete with the sixth princess and the Zhen family?"

Xiao Changning's frankness naturally has his reasons.

Since the emperor called him over, he must have grasped his handle. Too much denial is useless, it is better to be honest.

The Fourth Princess can't be counted on, but he can bet on the Sixth Princess with his death.

What Xiao Changning was thinking about was that even if he was imprisoned and the fourth princess was taken down, in the future when the sixth princess ascended the throne, he would definitely release his uncle out of his old love.

Huang looked at him quietly, then smiled, "Changning, Changning, I am old, but I am not confused."

"All your calculations are very good, including suppressing the Qian family for me, but you forgot a very important one."

Xiao Changning was slightly startled, "What?"

The emperor looked at him, "The eldest prince is not allowed to participate in politics."

"The moment I crossed out your words with a red pen on the enclosure form, it was both a warning and a reminder, giving you a way."

"If you stop here, I will never pursue the enclosure case. After all, you are the younger brother of my direct relative."

"But your inner inclination and the first choice is actually right. You suppress the money-maker, you think you are doing well, but the better you do, the more wrong you are."

"I should be worried about the court affairs, and I should be concerned about choosing the princess. These are not things you should ask about."

Naturally, the emperor can't say that a sister does a good job.

When he gave Xiao Changning a path, instead of "forcing" him to take the first path, he made it clear what his younger brother would do, and he was already on guard in his heart at that time.

Huang said slowly, "You said today that it is for the fourth child, and with your scheming, the plan is to let the sixth child save you."

At this point, Xiao Changning's face suddenly turned ugly.

He suddenly raised his head and looked behind the desk, breathing heavily and slightly "chaotic".

Xiao Changning clenched his fingers and sneered, his face lost the cold and dignified look before, but ridiculed and angry.

"Since Huangjie knows everything, why do you still ask the younger brother? The only thing left and right is to see the younger brother, like a dying fish, trying to make a life for himself in front of you, to make you laugh?"

"Since you know everything, why do you come here today? Just to show that I'm not as good as you, to prove that everything I've done is just like a clown on the stage?"

The eldest prince can accept that his skills are inferior to others, but he can't stand the humiliation and embarrassment.

It seems that he is still trying his best to cover up after being seen through, just thinking of his words just now, the eldest prince is like being slapped severely, and his face is hot.

"I have given up everyone today. There are only you and my sisters and brothers in the entire imperial study, so I have given you enough face!"

The emperor looked at Xiao Changning, "If it wasn't for you still plotting against my daughters, I wouldn't be so straightforward."

The emperor raised his hand tiredly and pinched his brow bone, "I even thought about giving you a way to survive, as long as you know you are wrong."

But he didn't.

He didn't think he was wrong until the last step.

"You are my brother..."

Not "I" but "I".

Xiao Changning paused slightly, his eyes trembled slightly, and his eyes slowly turned red.

The emperor put down his hand and sighed softly, "If I knew you were so stubborn, I should have asked Shi Qing to ask you, instead of closing the door and asking for guilt, I wouldn't be so exhausted."

Xiao Changning clenched his fingertips tightly and wanted to say something, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him.

"Others, I don't want to say more, I just want to know, who in the palace told you about the rumor that Lao Liu wanted to cheat and cheat."

It is the origin of all calamities, the tangled thread.

Although the child's heart is not mature enough, he will not be open-mouthed in front of others. Those who can speak such words must be trusted acquaintances.

It was an acquaintance who told Xiao Changning what he said, and made him go all out to design fraud.

Xiao Changning said softly, "It's the fifth."

It is the fifth princess, Xiao Wanliu.

The emperor's brows furrowed instantly, "Elder fifth?"

Xiao Changning laughed at himself, "It was Zai Lu who stopped me on purpose and told me something. At that time, I just wanted to find a backer, and wanted to surrender early..."

He didn't take the Fifth Princess seriously at all, and he didn't even take it seriously, but it was such an inconspicuous person who, in one sentence, bewitched and "bewitched" such a big thing.

"Sister Huang..." Xiao Changning looked at the emperor.

"I won't kill you. If you die, the fourth child will feel uncomfortable."

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "The eldest prince Xiao Changning, from today onwards, will be imprisoned in the palace of the eldest prince, and all servants will be sent from the palace. Shen Yuan, the consort and minister of rituals, will be dismissed from the official post and the frontier when the autumn season is over. I can't go back to Beijing for the rest of my life."

"As for depression..."

The eldest prince's eyelashes drooped, his fingers clenched tightly, and he didn't say a word.

The emperor sighed, "Yu'er was taken to the palace and handed over to the queen to teach herself."

"You, do it yourself."

"Thank you, Huangjie, for your forgiveness." Xiao Changning knew that it was useless to talk too much, and finally knelt down and made a big gift to the emperor.

He is proud and lofty, with strong self-esteem, and he can't do anything to cry and beg for mercy on his knees.

Just when he got up, his body swayed for a moment.

The plain "color" brocade robe that originally made him look more noble and cold, but now, when I look at it, I feel a little dull, and it seems that his complexion is haggard and age.

"Sister take care."

Xiao Changning withdrew.

The person who was originally exhausted stepped out of the threshold of the imperial study and faced Shi Qing and the four or five princesses with a straight back and farsightedness.

He didn't feel that he was wrong. Who is not calculating for himself in his entire life?

It's just that he's not as good as anyone who loses.

If there is a chance...

When Xiao Changning left the palace, he turned around and glanced at the palace. If he had the chance, he also wanted to have supreme power and be graceful and rich for a lifetime.

Up to now, he still only thinks about himself.

The emperor watched Xiao Changning's thin and thin back walk away, and slowly loosened his clenched fingers on the desk.

He will not get rid of Changning right now, as long as he is alive for a day, he will keep a younger brother for a day.

However, before leaving, he will definitely take Changning away first.

No matter who ascends the throne in the future, the emperor will not allow him to be bewitched or influenced by his uncle.

As for Shen Yuan, the journey to the frontier is long, and she may die of illness on the way.

People can't stay.

As for Shen Yu, firstly, he did not participate in this matter, because he considered the last bit of affection between the brothers and sisters, and it was the blood of the Xiao family.

The emperor is exhausted, but the door still has a person to deal with.

"The fifth princess, Xiao Wanliu comes in."

The maid waiting at the door looked at the fifth princess who had just vomited blood.

The fourth princess also looked over, her brows were even tighter than usual, as if she had not thought of what the frail younger sister was doing.

Shi Qing knew what the picture was.

The fourth princess is not a direct descendant, but she is considered a concubine. What the fifth emperor does, naturally, it is the picture of the fourth emperor.

"Stop struggling," Shi Qing advised the Fifth Princess, "Where did you come from, go back to where you are."

"after all"

Smiling at the fifth princess, he pointed to the imperial study, "The one inside is the eldest daughter."

What's more, after being the emperor for so many years, his mind is extremely firm, and it is not something that the fifth emperor's daughter can shake.

The last hope of the fifth princess was gone.

The fifth emperor looked sideways at Shiqing, "Second, count me as the loser."

"Look at what you said," Shi Qing was "confused", "When have you won? Haven't you been losing all the time?"

"..."

Shi Qing smiled, "Don't stare at me, it's not a loss if you lose, who told you to control people's hearts."

"Chang Shuna is in the minority after all, and there are many people like Qian Cancan who can live comfortably, and the Fourth Highness has a firm will and knows what he wants."

"People are people because they have their own bottom line and stick to it, and can choose what kind of life they have."

"Not every prostitute, every person who is not talented enough, has to chase the ducks to fight for it. As long as they can live, they are fine."

"In your opinion, we may be the characters in the book, what you call data and containers, but in our opinion, we are alive, and we have our own lives and joys and sorrows."

"The most important thing is," Shi Qing's eyes were firm, and he said seriously to the fifth princess: "We don't need others to point fingers at us."

Like the first Li family, how he dresses is his hobby and choice, and the old man is not qualified to criticize and suppress.

Another example is the Qian family sisters. Although they are the daughters of Qian's mother, they are also themselves. They do not need to bear the pressure and control from their mother. They have the right to choose the life they want.

There are also four princesses, no matter what their background and conditions are, they can't shake their perseverance.

The old man's "for your own good", Qian Mu's "for your own good", including the eldest prince's "for your own good", are all for your own good.

And the "Concubine's Counterattack" by the Fifth Princess is for herself.

People have to live for themselves and cannot live in the words of men.

The fifth princess shook her head and sneered, disdain for Shi Qing's words, "Is it possible that it is good to live like a waste?"

"With me, we can have power and glory, and living in the public eye is the correct way to live."

Shi Qing put his arms in his arms and clicked his tongue, "Since you don't listen to me, I can't do anything about it."

It doesn't seem to work if you want to drink chicken soup and feel the five princesses.

Shi Qing took a deep breath, put his hands on his hips, and glared at the Fifth Princess, "The old lady has to live, what can you do!"

The fifth princess did not expect her attitude to change so quickly, and her head hummed when she was yelled at.

"To shut up."

As soon as he heard Shiqing's mouth, his head hurt, and when he was dying, he exhausted all his energy and energy, and stretched out his hand towards Shiqing.

Even if you leave, you have to take someone with you!

As a result, as soon as his hand was raised, Shi Qing slapped it down.

"...?!"

Shi Qing's movement of pressing his hands was like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the speed was extremely fast, as if he had practiced countless times.

No way, Shi Qing just played with Yun Zhi at home. After a long time, he almost formed a conditioned reflex.

The fifth emperor was stunned in place, her face was blank and "forced", as if she hadn't reacted yet, why did her last blow end as soon as it started?

Shi Qing didn't expect that he would escape the catastrophe and stared at the fifth princess.

"Who are you 'pointing fingers' with?"

"Go to your correct way of living, you can't control my affairs!"

"Not convinced? If you are not convinced, you can only watch."

"I am me, the beautiful fireworks that send you to the sky."

Shi Qing stretched out his hand and pointed at the door of the imperial study, "Go in."

Still want to point? Small, you are used to it.

The chamberlain came over to the fifth princess, who looked at the Jinshui River in the distance.

"Your Highness, the emperor called you."

The inner servant reached out to the fifth emperor's daughter, and the fifth emperor's daughter was almost held up by a palace attendant before barely standing.

Withdrawing his gaze towards Jin Shuihe, he glared at Shi Qing fiercely, exhaling more and less, "You'd better not let me come back."

Shi Qing sneered, "You better not dare to come back!"

"When the time comes, I'll be an extremely personable official, and I'll kill anyone who falls into the water and whose 'temperament' changes greatly!"

Fifth Empress, "..."

The fifth emperor was so angry that she closed her eyes and fainted.

The inner servant was stunned for a moment, not wanting to beat the fifth emperor at all and resisted entering the imperial study.

The imperial doctor was quickly called over, and the fifth princess was carried into the imperial study.

Shi Qing stood at the door of the imperial study and waited.

The progress bar of the last item of the gangster task is growing wildly, and the progress has reached ninety-nine percent.

Just one hundred percent away, and the job is done.

Shi Qing is in a hurry, can't wait to go in and get a pillow to help the fifth princess.

In the imperial study, behind the screen, the emperor stood beside the soft couch and looked at the person on the bed.

The imperial doctor shook his head slightly, retracted his hand, and stepped aside.

The fifth princess has always been in poor health, especially in the past six months, she has been bedridden, so everyone is prepared for today's appearance.

The fifth emperor's eyes opened a slit, her expression was like a child's dazed and ignorant, and she whispered, "Mother emperor."

The emperor lowered his eyes and said, "I have always given you sisters an opportunity to meet each other. If you want to fight, you will fight openly and honestly, because you think that you are from a humble background and do not please me, and you have lived too lowly since you were a child."

The fifth emperor's eyes were slightly red and moist, as if aggrieved, "But the emperor can't see Liu'er."

"I can see each of you. If I can't see you, you won't be alive today. I just hope you can stand up by yourself instead of shrinking behind others."

"My daughter of the Xiao family is to be proud and confident."

The fifth emperor's tears slid down the end of her eyes and fell into the long li, crying and whispering, "Empress Mother, Liu'er knows it's wrong."

The emperor sighed, and finally sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and took the hand of the fifth emperor, and patted it lightly, "Just know what's wrong, go to sleep, if you feel tired... just go to sleep."

The fifth princess was satisfied, and closed her eyes with a smile in her eyes.

In the imperial study, Shi Qing, who was leaning against the pillar, stood up straight.

task progress:

100 percent.

Shi Qing felt a sense of relief and heaved a sigh of relief.

finished.

Sitting on the steps in front of the imperial study, looking up at the mid-afternoon sunlight, squinting, listening to the "bar fine system".

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, expelling the alien invasion from the world, and rolling back to the place where it should exist. The system is very gratified. ]

[The host mission is successful, everyone in this world is free from becoming a puppet and can live according to their own wishes, I will do it for us, thank the host. ]

[as a reward]

Shi Qing came to the spirit.

[…]

[As a reward, the host and his family and friends can be exempted from mind and disease, and they will end their lives~]

At once?

Shi Qing was slightly startled, "What about Yun Zhi? He won't go back, will he?"

He shouldn't be expelled from the fifth emperor's daughter.

[Yun Zhi is naturally in this world, unless he communicates with another Yun Zhi and wants to exchange it, or he will stay on the side. ]

Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the initiative rested with Yun Zhi, and nothing else, that would be good.

After confirming the most worrying thing, Shi Qing rubbed his hands in anticipation, his eyes brightened, "Is there any other reward?"

[…]

Shi Qing narrowed his eyes and raised his voice, "Is it gone?"

[The task is completed, the system will automatically cancel. ]

[This cooperation is a pleasure, don't see each other again in the future. ]

As if afraid that Shiqing was dissatisfied with the reward, Shiqing only heard a "di" sound, and then his mind became clear, and there was no sound.

run, really fast...

In fact, no other golden finger is good, indicating that life around me has returned to normal.

Especially after experiencing the countdown to life, I realized that I and my family and friends are safe and healthy, and nothing can be exchanged.

Shi Qing was quite satisfied, patted the dust on his buttocks, and was ready to leave the palace.

The maid shouted, "Is your lord missing the emperor?"

Didn't you say you've been waiting for a long time for something?

Shi Qing smiled and waved, "Come back tomorrow morning, it's time for me to go back to eat, there are people waiting at home."

The things that should be done are done, want to go back and hug Yun Zhi, take a restful nap with him, wake up and go to "knead" "knead" the litter of rabbits he raised.

Simple as that.

Shi Qing walked briskly towards the palace.

Half a year ago, I really didn't expect that I would live to this day, but now I look back and think about it, it feels like a dream.

Having survived the desperate state of mind at that time, I can now be regarded as living my self.

From knowing that he was a cannon fodder, to buying a coffin to pay for the funeral, to marrying Yun Zhi...

I don't know why, compared to marrying Yun Zhi, things before and after seem to have dimmed. Only Yun Zhi, who is dressed in red and has a hijab on his head, has a deep memory.

"Little master."

Mihe shouted loudly at the gate of the palace.

When Shi Qing raised his eyes and looked over, he saw that after Mi fit, Yun Zhi in a light blue robe was waiting.

The clean and fresh young hero, like a green and tender bamboo, stands upright, but his eyes are full.

Wrong, Jia Yunzhi looks good in any color and color, even if he wears a Taoist robe and pretends to be a fortune teller.

Shi Qing smiled, stood on the spot with open arms, and shouted, "Yun Shaoxia."

Yun Zhi smiled slowly, as if reluctantly walking towards him, first slowly, then fast.

Finally, he stretched out his hand and hugged it tightly, with red ears, and said softly, "The meal is ready, Dad asked me to pick you up."

Shi Qing smiled and poked his back, but didn't pierce it, "Then let's go home for dinner."

"Well, go home for dinner."
