Chapter 164

The prince now hated Zhao Linxiu to death in his heart. If he hadn't brought Qi Yanling into the palace, his father would not have woken up so soon. The ministers will support him to ascend the great treasure, and even if the father wakes up, he will be nothing but the emperor.

Now all of this has been destroyed by Zhao Linxiu!
He still remembers how his father favored this lowly race when he was young. It was obvious that everyone was a prince, but his father looked at him differently. He was obviously the eldest son, and he was obviously the person with the most noble status, but he just couldn't get it. Seeing the love of the father, the father only likes the son of Concubine Zhao.

If it hadn't been for Concubine Zhao's failure of morality, he almost doubted that his father would eventually make Huangfu Xiu the crown prince instead of him, the eldest son.

When Huangfuxiu came back from the Qi Kingdom, he had taken all precautions, and even made people mention Concubine Zhao in front of the Emperor from time to time, just to ask the Emperor not to forget that Concubine Zhao had a private meeting with her childhood sweetheart in the palace, so that the Emperor Always remember this shameful memory. Only in this way, the emperor will hate Huangfu Xiu even more. In the past two years, the emperor has never allowed Huangfu Xiu to enter the palace. Isn't it because he hates this son of unknown origin?
However, he is obviously a despicable and neglected bastard, why didn't he become a waste?Hadn't he been taken care of by the people sent by the queen during these years in Qi?Over the years, the news from the Qi State is nothing more than that the Seventh Prince grabbed the top card with some family member in the brothel, and was finally beaten and carried back, or that the Seventh Prince robbed the women of the people, and was scolded and humiliated by the Prince of Qi in public. I repeated it over and over again, isn't such a person a waste... When did he put his own people in the palace, why did those black knights listen to him?Isn't that the father's personal guard?

The prince couldn't figure it out. For the first time, he had an inexplicable fear of Zhao Linxiu.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qi...here it is!" The words of the palace servants came from outside, the eyes of the imperial army who had just been ordered to bring Qi Yanjun were red, and four eunuchs carried a stretcher in, and Qi Yanjun lay unconscious on it.

"This..." Seeing the injuries on Qi Yanjun's body, Xu Shanchang and the others were so stunned that they couldn't speak. What kind of severe punishment did they suffer to torture a person like this.

"His Royal Highness!" Xu Shanchang looked at the prince with grief and indignation, "There is no proof, how can you treat the ministers of the court like this? Before the truth is investigated, how... How can you torture Qi Yanjun like this?"

The queen said sharply, "At the beginning, everyone thought that Qi Yanjun poisoned the emperor. Didn't he torture the person who murdered the emperor to find out who was behind the scenes? Wasn't it torture to find out whether he had any accomplices? Master Xu, this is just the prince's inadvertent intention." It's not all his fault."

"I have old injuries, the queen knows... I often faint in the middle of the night in pain, and you know it, but you still think that I was poisoned?" The emperor stared at the queen with piercing eyes, "Queen, how much do you miss me? Poisoned to death?"

The queen was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down, "The concubine didn't dare, your majesty, the concubine was so frightened that day...The torture of Qi Yanjun was also agreed by the court minister."

"I think you have a lot of ideas." The emperor sneered, and asked Eunuch Luo to support his hand to look at Qi Yanjun.

Seeing that the clothes on Qi Yanjun's body looked like they had been bitten by rats and insects, his skin was eroded and festered, and his feet were bent in a strange posture, the emperor who had seen prison punishment knew at a glance what kind of torture Qi Yanjun was suffering.

"Put Qi Yanjun in the side hall, no matter what method you use, you must cure him!" The emperor's eyes flashed with pain, for Qi Yanjun who was promoted by himself, he absolutely did not want him to be crippled at such a young age.

"Your Majesty, this...may be inappropriate." A minister stood behind Xu Shanchang. The emperor's palace is such a precious place, how could Qi Yanjun be allowed to recuperate here.

"Why is it wrong, is it okay for you to beat people like this?" The emperor asked coldly, he knew that he would faint because of anger before, so today he has been restraining himself not to get angry.

The crown prince shouted unwillingly, "Father, the king of Shu led troops to force the palace, intending to seek rebellion, so let's forget it?"

The emperor glanced at Zhao Linxiu calmly, and then slowly turned to the prince, "What kind of soldiers did the King of Shu bring to force the palace? Where is the army? Did you surround the palace? Did you kill someone?"

"Those black knights... He arrested all the court ladies and eunuchs, and just now he wanted to kill his ministers!" The prince shouted, he was unwilling to let Zhao Linxiu go just like that.

When the emperor heard the word Heiqi, his eyes flashed with a faint light, and there seemed to be bitterness in the depths of his eyes, "King of Shu, why did you bring Heiqi into the palace?"

"Catch the real murderer who poisoned the emperor." Zhao Linxiu had no fear on his face, and his tone was still so cold that he didn't seem to be talking to his father.

"I didn't pass out from poisoning, so naturally there is no murderer, let your black knights leave, and the palace has its own guards from the Imperial Forest Army." The emperor said.

Zhao Linxiu made a salute, "Yes, Father."

The prince's eyes widened, Zhao Linxiu's black cavalry?Don't those black knights belong to the emperor?How did it become Zhao Linxiu? Could it be that the father handed over the black cavalry to Zhao Linxiu?
"The King of Shu stays here, the Empress returns to Kunning Palace, don't worry about too many things that shouldn't be taken care of, as for the prince... stay in the East Palace, face the wall and think about it!" The emperor sent everyone away with a big wave of his hand.

The prince raised his head unwillingly, "Father..."

"The concubine will definitely discipline the prince, please rest assured the emperor." The queen gave the prince a look and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

The emperor didn't seem to see the prince's unwillingness, so he asked Eunuch Luo to help him back to the dragon couch to rest, just when his eunuch brought the freshly decocted medicine.

"My lord." Eunuch Luo signaled Zhao Linxiu to come forward and feed the emperor medicine.

Zhao Linxiu hesitated for a while, but still took the medicine from his father-in-law, and asked Luo Gonggong to test it with a silver needle, and then sat down on the brocade next to the dragon couch, "Father, take the medicine."

The emperor looked at Zhao Linxiu, and from his handsome and elegant outline, he seemed to see the woman he once loved so much, "Those black horses... were left to you by your mother and concubine?"

"En." Zhao Linxiu nodded. Everyone thought that the black knights were the emperor's personal guards, but they didn't know that with the emperor's acquiescence, the much-loved Concubine Zhao personally chose a pair of black knights. Wei Quan left to his son.

The emperor took the medicine bowl from Zhao Linxiu's hand and swallowed the medicine in one breath, "Do you blame me?"

"Don't dare." Zhao Linxiu lowered his eyes, no matter how much he complained, his mother and concubine would not come back.

As if he wanted to say something more, the emperor's eyes were full of emotions, and he didn't know what to think of, but he didn't say a word after all.

"I'm tired."
