The reborn prostitute will turn the sky

845 The time has come
A few days later, there was another wave in the court. The emperor was seriously ill, and the queen mother listened to the government behind the curtain. She suddenly mentioned the private salt case a few months ago. About the salt case?

The thirteenth prince panicked, but he denied it, refusing to admit that he had something to do with the private salt case.

It's just that the Empress Dowager didn't seem to want to let it go. She took out the evidence of the salt smuggling case, pointing out that several of the main criminals had contacts with the Thirteenth Prince, and suspected that the Thirteenth Prince might also be involved.

The thirteenth prince naturally denied it categorically. Selling private salt is a serious crime of beheading, so it is naturally impossible to admit it.

The Queen Mother also doesn't have any conclusive evidence, and she can't do anything to the thirteen princes.

It's just that, the thirteenth prince is completely anxious, and the queen mother is going to do something to herself.

Duanmu came in from the outside politely, the first thing he did was to enter the other courtyard and find Li Qi.

Li Qi watched Duanmuke come in with a dark face, he had heard about what happened in the morning, and he was not surprised that Duanmuke came to find him impatiently.

"Sir," Duanmuke sat down, with the lingering anger still on his face, looked at Li Qi, and asked, "Sir, must you know what happened in the morning?"

Li Qi didn't deny it, nodded and said, "I already know."

Duanmuke frowned, looked at Li Qi, and asked, "Sir, what do you think?"

Li Qi was silent for a while, did not answer, but asked instead: "I don't know what the prince thinks?"

Duanmuke frowned, looked at Li Qi, and said, "I can't wait."

Li Qi seemed to have guessed his answer a long time ago, nodded, and said: "The old man and the prince think the same thing."

Hearing this, Duanmuke was a little surprised, looked at Li Qi, and asked, "Sir, do you mean that you agreed to do it?"

Li Qi nodded, looked at Duanmuke, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said: "Prince, now is the time."

Hearing this, Duanmuke finally showed a satisfied smile on his face. He looked at Li Qi and said, "Sir, I thought you would continue to let me endure."

Li Qi shook his head, looked at Duanmuke, and said: "Prince, the reason why I let you endure is that the time has not come. Now that the time has come, naturally I will not let you bear it anymore."

Duanmuke let out an oh, looked at Li Qi, still puzzled and asked: "But sir, I don't understand, why is it the right time until now?"

Li Qi glanced at Duanmuke, but the other party's eyes were blank, and he really didn't know why, he coughed lightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looked at Duanmuke and said: "Although the prince is popular now, if it is true Fighting for the throne, I still bowed my head in the end. There is no legitimate reason. Even if I sit on the throne in the future, it will be unfair. The old man wants the prince to have a reasonable reason. Even if he sits on the throne, it will not be criticized by people."

Hearing the words, Duanmuke nodded half-understanding, looked at Li Qi, still puzzled and said: "But why is it the right time now?"

Li Qi smiled, looked at Duanmuke, and after being silent for a while, turned his eyes and said: "This morning, the Empress Dowager is clearly targeting you, the prince, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that, what she said is just paving the way for Duanmukai. The more this is the case, the more it means that the emperor is no longer able to do it, and the empress dowager must hurry up."

Duanmuke said this, and suddenly realized: "So that's the case, Mr. is the best, and he can see it so clearly. I was almost confused by the Queen Mother."

Li Qi smiled again, and continued: "It's not just that, the old man guesses that the Queen Mother must know who has the holy decree, and that's why she's so eager to do it."

Duanmuke snorted, very impatient, and asked: "The queen mother knows whose hand the edict is in. Didn't the imperial edict be destroyed by the queen mother? If this is the case, it is also a good thing for us."

A relaxed smile appeared on Duanmuke's face, but he didn't notice that Li Qi's face became more serious. He said, "No, no, Prince, it's not as simple as you think."

Duanmuke was puzzled, looked at Li Qi, and asked, "Isn't it? Sir,"

Li Qi shook his head, and said with a gloomy expression: "If the queen mother got the will, she must already know who the candidate for the crown prince is. If this is the case, the queen mother knows who is the candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's mind. ?”

After hearing Li Qi's words, Duanmuke fell into silence. He already understood Li Qi's words. If the queen mother really got the will, she must know who the new emperor was written on it. Will you appease that person?

Today, the Empress Dowager is deliberately dealing with herself, and she is about to suppress herself. This proves one thing, the new emperor written by the emperor in the will is likely to be herself.

Duanmuke's fingers tightened in an instant, his face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth, looked at Li Qi, and said, "Sir, do you mean that Father intends to pass on the throne to me?"

Li Qi didn't deny it. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "It's not impossible."

He looked at Duanmuke, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "Prince, it's not that the emperor doesn't value you. If he intends to pass on the throne to you, he will naturally write it down in his will. Maybe that's why the queen mother doesn't go To deal with the prince, turn to deal with your reason?"

When Li Qiyi mentioned it, Duanmuke finally understood. He frowned, and said with emotion, "So that's the case. It's just like what Mr. said, then the throne belongs to me, and the Queen Mother is involved, but I want Duanmukai to ascend the throne, how can I let him do so?"

With a bang, Duanmuke slammed his hands on the table, his expression extremely gloomy.

Seeing Duanmuke's angry look, Li Qi's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile, and said, "Naturally, this throne should belong to the prince, so how can someone else touch it?"

Duanmuke looked at Li Qi, with a bit of hatred in his eyes, and said: "Sir, this throne should be mine. Father gave it to me. How can I let others take it, so please help me, sir." , let me take back the throne."

Li Qi looked at Duanmuke, his eyes were full of anger, such an impulsive person could easily be used by others, but such a person, isn't it just right for Li Qi?Isn't that what he wants?

Li Qi smiled lightly, but nodded to Duanmuke, and said: "You don't need to tell the prince, the old man should do his best to help the prince."

Duan Muke bowed his hands to Li Qi and said: "When the matter is completed, naturally I will not treat you badly."
