Chapter 77 Forcing the Palace
On a warm spring day, the glazed tile eaves are slightly translucent in the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling halo.

It seems that due to the influence of the bright spring scenery, the tense atmosphere in the court hall a few days ago has gradually dissipated. The junior officials below no longer need to be nervous every time they go to court for fear of being harmed.

The officials on the periphery gradually relaxed and saw that the people who were still fighting each other were now meeting up for dinner at Baofu Tower, and they themselves were having fun as usual.

Undercurrents surge under the calm sea.

The bright moonlight passed through the window, leaving white marks on the precious gold velvet carpet.

The furnishings in the house are luxurious and luxurious. The huanghuali wood carving bed has been lowered with the purple gauze curtain, and the scene inside is faintly gathered.

Fragrance floats.

The beauty was resting on the man's chest, her skin was jade white, she was sleeping quietly, her red lips moved almost invisibly with her breathing, silently and seductively.

There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, her eyelashes were thick, and the red marks ran down her white jade-like neck and disappeared into the pure white pajamas.

A thick and powerful arm wrapped around her thin shoulders, pulling the delicate little beauty into his arms. The arms were strong, the chest was warm, and a firm sense of security enveloped the sleeping beauty.

Qi Cun greedily looked at the sleeping face in his arms, even if they were together every day, he would never get enough of it.

For a long time.

On the premise of not alarming Qiao Yuan, Qi Cun held her small head and pulled out his arms little by little.

The little beauty opened her red lips slightly, and unconsciously uttered a raving, but she was really exhausted, so she turned over and went back to sleep.

Qi Cun put on his clothes lightly and went out.

The spacious courtyard was silent and full of people.

The soft moonlight shining on the room cast a cold light on the cold armor, and the white light reflected by the sword almost illuminated the entire courtyard.

Qi Cun took the Zhengjian presented by his subordinates and said, "Have you made arrangements for the guards at the mansion?"

His face was serious: "Master Hou, don't worry, my subordinates are waiting here with five hundred guards, and they will definitely protect Madam well."

"Okay." Qi Cun glanced at the direction of the main courtyard, turned his head, his eyes sank, and his face was filled with a murderous look.

"If something goes wrong, come and see me."

"Yes!"

Royal Palace
Qinzheng Hall
Li Min crossed the threshold and stepped into this place that was usually out of reach. He waved his hand, and the maids and chamberlains in the palace all bowed their heads and exited silently.

The medicine was still boiling in the porcelain urn, and the smell of medicine filled the hall.

A few coughs came from behind Ming Huanglong's account: "Water..."

Li Min raised the corners of his lips, walked slowly and methodically through the gauze curtain, and came to the dragon bed.

The emperor was really surprised when he saw him: "Second brother, what are you doing here at this time?"

Li Min bowed his head respectfully: "My father is ill, and I am anxious and want to share my father's worries..."

He raised his eyes and said, "So, I beg your father... to abdicate."

His demeanor as always made people feel like a spring breeze, as if such outrageous words did not come from him.

The emperor's eyes widened suddenly and he couldn't believe his ears: "You...what did you say? You traitor!"

He looked furious, if the people below had seen him like this in the past, they would have knelt on the ground in fright and begged the emperor to appease his anger.

"Come on..."

Li Min didn't stop him, and watched the emperor struggling on the dragon bed for a long time. No one knew better than him that the emperor had already been hollowed out by the medicine, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.

Sure enough, after struggling for a moment, those skinny hands still hung down helplessly.

What the emperor realized: "People..."

Li Min smiled and said: "Of course I was sent away by my son. Father, it's getting late. You can finish your work early and rest early."

The rest here is naturally not to sleep, but to hit the road.

He took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, went outside to get the emperor's jade seal, and gradually approached.

The emperor struggled back, disappointed and angry: "I think I treat you kindly..."

But I didn't want to, this sentence irritated Li Min.

"Treat me well?" Li Min gritted his teeth as the gentle mask shattered.

"I am the same age as the eldest brother, but you have taken care of him since he was a child, and you have personally dealt with his studies. What about me? Why have you ever laid eyes on me!"

Li Min sneered: "In the past, the eldest brother didn't hurt his leg, so you always wanted him to be the crown prince. Now that he can't do it, you have refused to make a crown prince until now. Are you still picking among the younger brothers? Those trash three princes, the oldest of them is only eight years old!"

He suddenly exploded, and the emperor couldn't help but back away in fright, his bony body trembling.

"I... I just..." He anxiously wanted to explain, but he couldn't find anything to say, and his face became more and more desperate.

Li Min sneered: "I know, you are still suspecting that my concubine mother is unfaithful and that I am a bastard!"

Decades ago, Li Min's mother-in-law was the daughter of a minor official. She married Zhu Ma as his wife and lived a peaceful and happy life.

Unexpectedly, once he went to the palace for a banquet, the emperor took a fancy to her beauty and robbed his minister's wife.

The emperor really doted on her for a while and made her Concubine Jing. Later, she had a prince, which aroused the jealousy of other concubines, so the words about Concubine Jing and her childhood sweetheart's ex-husband's deep love spread to the ears of the emperor.

Although Concubine Jing died to prove her innocence in the end, this thorn still pierced the emperor's heart, and from then on he felt awkward even looking at his son.

Thinking of this, the emperor was afraid and ashamed, "I am confused. If you let me go, I can pretend that this never happened."

Li Min tidied up his emotions, and it was the second prince who was as gentle as jade, and stepped forward with a smile.

"Since father and emperor can't make up his mind, I'll come to help. The younger brothers are still young and can't bear the burden. The elder brother is sick, and the third younger brother has nothing to rely on. No one is more suitable than me. "

The emperor's eyelids twitched, "Boss, he..."

Li Min watched with enjoyment as the ashes gradually surfaced on his face, and said slowly: "I found a Taoist alchemist, and he had an earthquake as early as Qiushou."

He stayed in the dark, didn't report what he knew, watched them fall into the trap with cold eyes, and quickly stood up to preside over the overall situation after the earthquake, striving for a capable reputation.

"By the way, Father," Li Min glanced at the porcelain urn in which the medicine was cooked, which made the emperor have a bad premonition, "You have a cold, why did it take so long to recover, and is it getting more and more serious?" "

The emperor seemed to have been slapped in the mouth, and his eyes were filled with stars: "You poisoned me?!"

Li Min sneered: "Your old life should have been paid to my concubine mother long ago."

He grabbed the emperor's skinny hand and forced him to stamp the imperial edict, his eyes becoming more and more fanatical.

With this decree, he will be the next emperor.

The emperor closed his eyes.

When the Marquis of Zhenbei came back from Gongzhou and reported Li Min's collusion with Zhang Mao, the leader of Gongzhou for many years, and reported the evidence of embezzling state treasury taxes, he knew that the second child was not so gentle.

However, he never expected that he would actually dare to kill his father and force the palace.
