After the abolition, she just wants to cultivate immortals

Chapter 91 The Story of Qi Yanzhi
Qi Yanzhi is the third son of the empress, but he is the oldest surviving prince in the palace.

The eldest prince and the second prince are brothers of his mother's compatriots. Since he can remember, he has only seen the elder brother. When he was young and ignorant, he asked his mother, but what he got was her crying sadly, so he dared not Ask again, and later learned from the maid that his second brother died shortly after he was born, that's why his mother was so sad.

Qi Yanzhi's father had many concubines, and he couldn't recognize any of the concubines in the palace.

His queen mother is a very gentle and kind woman, but she is not very favored, and she can only treat the emperor as a respectful guest.Because of this, those favored concubines in the palace are always a little contemptuous of the queen, but the queen doesn't care too much, after all, she is also a queen, and those people don't dare to go too far.

Qi Yanzhi who is still young still doesn't understand why these concubines are so strange, they always look very kind when the emperor is around, but they have a different face when the emperor is not around.

Until one time, a lady who smiled gently at him invited him to eat some pastries. The pastries were delicious, and the lady smiled and told him not to tell anyone.

Then Qi Yanzhi fell to the ground convulsed all over, and was thrown in the corner of the imperial garden. If a passing eunuch hadn't found him in time, he would have died there.

The imperial doctor found out that it was poisoning. His father seemed very angry, and called many people, and finally found out that the murderer was the imperial concubine.

But he clearly remembered that it wasn't the lady who invited him to eat cakes, they caught the wrong person!
He told his father that he wanted his father to arrest the empress who invited him to eat cakes, but his father didn't believe him, and even reprimanded him, not allowing him to tell others, and then the imperial concubine was executed. It is to poison the emperor's heir.

Later in the palace banquet, Qi Yanzhi saw the lady who invited him to have a snack again, still smiling gently, Qi Yanzhi couldn't help shivering when he saw that smile, feeling a little scary.

The father seemed to like her very much, and let her sit next to the queen mother, which should be the position of the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine had already been executed, so she became the new imperial concubine.

The eldest prince has a very good relationship with Qi Yanzhi, because as an elder brother, he always takes good care of him.

The eldest prince is very intelligent and has a good personality. What's more, he is a gentleman, gentle as jade, and always gets compliments from his father and queen.

Qi Yanzhi also adores his elder brother, and always likes to run behind him.

Afterwards the first prince became a prince, he became busy and came to play with Qi Yanzhi less often, but he was not disappointed, instead he was a little happy that his elder brother would become the emperor in the future!
In this way, he no longer has to worry about his mother being bullied.

He doesn't have to study so hard with Brother Big Emperor covering him!

Reading and literacy is too difficult, anyway, with Brother Dahuang around, it doesn't matter if he learns or not, it couldn't be more enjoyable to be lazy and learn something!

He decisively implemented this idea, and slipped out to play for a while between classes, but this was soon discovered by his mother, who was very angry, and then he was severely beaten up by his usually gentle mother. .

The eldest prince always earnestly completes everything the emperor entrusts, so most of the ministers in the court appreciate him very much.When Qi Yanzhi was at the palace banquet, he heard many ministers praise the prince for his extraordinary intelligence and world-shaking talents, and he would definitely be a wise king in the future.

At that time, Qi Yanzhi still didn't understand the deep meaning, he only felt that those ministers had good eyesight, and he was as happy as if those words were praising himself.

His imperial brother is so dazzling, he deserves these praises!
But later, the eldest brother died.

die before him.

That day, Qi Yanzhi was being forced to read and write by the elder brother in the East Palace. The queen thought he was too naughty and asked the elder brother to discipline him. Yanzhi was annoyed, and while writing, he complained that he talked too much like a nanny, so angry that the elder brother blushed, and punished him to copy the book of rites ten times, for which he even quarreled with the elder brother.

No one knew why some assassins broke into the palace, and those assassins rushed into the East Palace together as planned.

Screams resounded one after another, one by one the maids and eunuchs fell down, but the imperial guards in the palace came very slowly.

The princes will have a special master to teach martial arts, but the first prince at that time was only a 15-year-old boy, so he was naturally no match for those murderous assassins, plus he had to be distracted to protect the eight-year-old Qi Yanzhi. He was seriously injured and fell into a pool of blood. By the time the imperial guards arrived, the assassin had already run away without a trace.

At that time the eldest prince was not dead, if rescued in time, there might still be a chance of survival, but at that time the imperial concubine was poisoned, all the imperial doctors went to the imperial concubine's palace, even his father was there to pass on the news The eunuch was stopped, and it was delayed for a long time. By the time the imperial doctor arrived at the East Palace, the Eldest Prince had already passed away.

Before he died, the eldest prince smiled wryly and whispered something in Qi Yanzhi's ear.

"After all, I am too sharp. Yanzhi, you must remember not to show your talents when you are young. It is good to be an ignorant dude. Only by being a person who is not a threat can you live longer! Don't I'm like this! Don't be like me... like this..."

The crown prince was assassinated and died. The emperor was furious and killed many people, but he still failed to catch the assassins, so he could only let it go.

The queen was so sad that she fell into a coma. The eight-year-old Qi Yanzhi learned to hide himself. He buried his hatred in his heart. Even though he had some guesses in his heart, he still sought help from his father like a naive and ignorant child.

The queen was in a coma for half a month, and Qi Yanzhi stayed there for half a month. During this period, his father only came to see him a few times, and every time he came to see him who was crying helplessly, he would comfort him, and then he would not hesitate. He turned around and left, as if the dead eldest prince had nothing to do with him, and he wasn't sad at all.

Later the queen woke up, but the mother and son did not mention anything in a very tacit understanding, but everything was already in silence.

Qi Yanzhi also seemed to have forgotten the death of the eldest brother, and he still played carelessly every day. His laziness and skipping class caused the teacher to go to the imperial study room to file a complaint. The emperor seemed to indulge him very much out of guilt, and even Allow him not to go to the study.

After a few years like this, Qi Yanzhi became an ignorant little overlord in the palace, relying on the emperor's favor to commit crimes.

At the age of 12, Qi Yanzhi met Tu Yu.

The first snow in winter has just fallen, and the sky and the earth are covered with a layer of white.

His mother's queen has a close friend, she is a beautiful and gentle woman, she often visits her in the palace, and her mother asks him to call him Aunt Yu in private.He has seen this Aunt Yu many times since she was a child, and every time she came alone with a maid, but this time she brought a little girl.

The six or seven-year-old girl was only as tall as his chest, dressed like a small dumpling because of the cold weather, and stood obediently beside Aunt Yu, with a delicate and cute chubby bun face, and a soft and waxy voice when greeting , a pair of black and translucent eyes are so clear that they can melt the hearts of those who see them.

When Qi Yanzhi saw Tu Yu for the first time, he liked this little girl carved in powder and jade very much. As soon as Tu Yu came, he called Yu'er sister Yu'er sister, trying to get the little girl's attention.

The little girl is so well-behaved, she always follows Aunt Yu quietly, and he can't help teasing her every time, making some harmless little jokes, which makes the little girl stare at him angrily. When the girl is angry, he will coax her again, and the relationship will be better after going back and forth.

His mother also liked the little girl very much. Later, the little girl followed Aunt Yu into the palace more often. Every time his mother talked and laughed with Aunt Yu, he would take the little girl for a walk, playing pranks from time to time and getting angry. The little girl chased him and beat him, and the two of them fought and fought like this for several years.

Later, Dingguo Duke Tu Jingan died in battle, and Dingguo Duke's wife died of illness. It was already a month later when Qi Yanzhi saw Tu Yu again. The girl's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she knelt there so thin and small that it made people feel distressed. Afterwards, Qi Yanzhi found various reasons to come out of the palace to comfort her.

Once Dingguo Duke Tu Jing'an died, the emperor couldn't wait to take back his military power, leaving only the title of Dingguo Duke on Tu Jue, who had not reached the weak crown, and became a symbol in name only.

In order to take care of Tu Yu conveniently, Qi Yanzhi asked to go out of the palace and build a mansion. Perhaps because he saw him being mediocre these years, his father readily approved it, and at the same time gave him a large reward.

After leaving the palace and building a mansion, everything became much more convenient. Qi Yanzhi still eats, drinks and plays carelessly on weekdays. He visits Tu Yu in Dingguo's mansion from time to time, and secretly cultivates power through his ancestral relationship.

Gradually, his wings became fuller, and he secretly plotted and plotted, but on the surface he was innocent and harmless.When he proposed to marry Tu Yu, the emperor promised Sheng Shishang, and even personally married him.

After marriage, the only thing he does every day is to accompany Tu Yu in the mansion.

After two years of marriage, the concubine was not pregnant. The emperor wanted to give Qi Yanzhi a side concubine, but Qi Yanzhi refused. The world said that the third prince was devoted, and he would not marry a side concubine or take a concubine for the one he loved. How many people are envious.

When everyone was unaware, the emperor passed away suddenly, and the five princes born to the noble concubine wanted to ascend the throne, but were suppressed by Qi Yanzhi with thunderous means, and beheaded on the spot on the charge of poisoning the emperor and intending to rebel.Qi Yanzhi ascended to the throne before everyone could react, and caught those princes who wanted to seize the throne by surprise.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to order the noble concubine to be buried with the former emperor. Even if it was unreasonable, no one dared to persuade him under the premise that the fifth prince rebelled.

The Queen Mother died of illness in the same year, and the weak and kind woman seemed to have finally let go of all obsessions in her heart, and died with a smile.

Qi Yanzhi had long known that the death of the eldest prince was related to the emperor, and the imperial concubine was an accomplice. The imperial concubine poisoned Qi Yan in order to get rid of the former imperial concubine, so the emperor naturally knew about it and even participated in it.

The former queen mother and concubine were not of high background, so in order to ascend to the throne, they tried their best to marry the queen and the former noble concubine, who had a good family background. With the support of the family behind them, they finally ascended to the throne as they wished. The two love each other, but they are from a low-ranking family. The emperor welcomed her into the palace just as a beauty, and carefully hid her in the palace. The imperial concubine is naturally unwilling to be conferred the position of concubine, but the queen's family background is too prominent to be moved at all.So as soon as the two of them got together, they ran to plot against the former imperial concubine.

The death of the eldest prince was due to the emperor's suspicion. He was too dazzling, and the emperor was in his prime, so naturally he couldn't tolerate him.

Qi Yanzhi only felt a little ironic about this.

A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, but this so-called father and emperor can even kill his own son.

After Qi Yanzhi came to the throne, he found that the court had long been plagued by internal and external troubles. The Taishi faction occupied half of the court, and it developed even stronger during the period of the succession of the throne. The forces are simply unable to compete, and the court has almost become the hall of the grand master.

In order to stabilize the government, he had no choice but to accept concubines, using the families behind those women as bargaining chips, and secretly planned. Unfortunately, the grand master soon took precautions, but Qi Yanzhi had no choice but to use the worst strategy.

The grand master's daughter, Fu Yan'er, has always been interested in him, and he has rejected her many times but still does not give up, and the grand master loves that daughter the most, this is the grand master's weakness.

After Qi Yanzhi decided to marry Fu Yan'er, he temporarily stabilized the grand master, and when the grand master relaxed his vigilance, he could find a chance to kill him.

No matter what means he used, he didn't want the throne he just won to change hands, nor did he want to be controlled by others.

At the beginning, he was able to plan to take the throne for more than ten years and take revenge, but now he can also bring down the grand master.

Now that the power has been obtained, he will not let it go!

Fu Yan'er has a hot personality and is jealous. He was worried that Fu Yan'er would hurt Tu Yu, so he decided to secretly send Tu Yu out of the palace to protect her.

He is very clear about Tu Yu's character, seemingly weak but actually strong, Qi Yanzhi knows very well that when Tu Yu learns that he is going to marry another woman, he will either die for it or never see her again.

But so what?With power in his hands, Tu Yu has no other choice!

He wants the world, and he wants beauties!

He can hide Tu Yu first, and welcome her back after the trouble is resolved. At that time, he can just spoil her and share the world with her!

This is the best way for him at present, but all this has not gone as he wished.

On the day of his wedding, Tu Yu disappeared without anyone noticing, without any clues.

He suppressed the panic in his heart, released the news that the queen died of illness, and secretly sent people to search for it.

On the bright side, he still gets along with Fu Yan'er calmly, coaxing Fu Yan'er around, creating the illusion of the empress' love, in order to lower the Grand Master's vigilance, and secretly collect or create all favorable evidence.

Later, Qi Yanzhi got rid of the Grand Master's faction as he wished, and suppressed those brothers who were eyeing him. He really managed to wake up and take over the power of the world, but his little girl disappeared.

He asked Tu Jue, but Tu Jue didn't seem to know.He sent many people to search around, but no clue was found, whether it was Qi State or the neighboring countries.

At first he had some hope, but later he was completely disappointed. His people were already looking for him.

Five years, ten years, 20 years...

When he was sitting on the dragon chair enjoying the worship of all the officials, he began to feel a little lonely in his heart. The throne that he had planned for ten years suddenly became dull.

He concealed his calculations and darkness under his skin, and deceived everyone, including that clean-minded little girl, with his unrestrained appearance.The little girl likes him, and he likes the little girl.They have enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the four seasons together, and watched the sun rise and set.

He married her as he wished, and the little girl in the fiery red wedding dress melted into his heart like a ball of fire, almost dispelling all the haze. At that moment, he felt that this life was enough.

Accompanying her day and night in the prince's mansion, the fragrance of her hair, her inadvertent frown and smile, became more and more deeply rooted as time went by.

Qi Yanzhi regretted it, he could have taken revenge directly, he didn't have to ascend the throne, he could have continued to hide himself, be an idle prince, and spend his whole life with the one he loves gracefully.

But he was too greedy, greed blinded his eyes, he forgot his original intention, the little girl he wanted to be with for the rest of his life disappeared, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Qi Yanzhi had no heirs, and he didn't want to touch any women anymore, so he dismissed the harem, adopted a child from the clan, raised the child up, and then abdicated and left the palace.

He lived in the peach grove where he fell in love with Tu Yu back then, and waited for many years.
