Chapter 358 Explained
"Now our secret location is no longer available. I have ordered them to find another place to settle, and the other is to make an antidote as soon as possible."

As soon as the antidote was mentioned, Qi Xiu's head hurt badly, and the emperor himself hadn't seen it yet, so something like this happened over there.

That man was very mysterious, and he sent many people to investigate in the rivers and lakes, but no one knew the real identity of that man.

Don't even know the name.

The origin is more like appearing out of thin air.

Concubine Rou frowned. At such a critical juncture, if there was one more enemy, they would be in some danger. She sighed helplessly, sat down and poured a cup of tea for Qi Xiu and asked softly, "Is it possible that it is from the second child's side?" people?"

"Impossible, I know what the second brother is capable of, and I have also asked our dark guys, and they all said that there is no such person around the second brother, and the second brother can be excluded."

"Who the hell is that?"

Concubine Rou bit her lip, her mind went blank.

They have been acting cautiously for so many years, and the only enemy is the second prince Qi Yue.

Now suddenly such a person came out of nowhere and messed up their plans. If it was a critical moment, one mistake would cost them their heads.

The hall was silent for a while, and after a while, there was a rush of footsteps, and then a servant girl ran in with strides and saluted them, "Madam, Your Highness, the third prince, the emperor has finished his official duties." Alright, I heard from Eunuch Gao that the emperor is currently reading in the imperial study."

Qi Xiu's eyes lit up, he got up quickly and said, "Mother Concubine, I'm going to see Father Emperor first, and I'll come to pay my respects to Mother Concubine in the evening."

Concubine Rou nodded again and again, "Go, I must let your father see you today, and the day after tomorrow will be hunting. If your father doesn't tell you to go, then our plan will all be in vain."

"Yes."

Qi Xiu has a serious face, he must see him today, and his plan this time must be foolproof.

Qi Xiu quickly went to the imperial study room. There were many guards outside the imperial study room. Duke Gao was outside the door. When he saw Qi Xiu coming, he smiled respectfully and saluted, "Your servant sees the third prince."

Qi Xiu nodded with a smile, their eyes met, Eunuch Gao immediately understood what Qi Xiu meant, and blinked at Qi Xiu.

Qi Xiu nodded, stood outside the imperial study room and clasped his fists respectfully, "I beg to see my father."

The study was very quiet, and there was no response, which made Qi Xiu look serious. He glanced at Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao gave a wry smile, shook his head secretly and stepped aside, signaling Qi Xiu that he could not intervene.

As soon as the rumors against the third prince came out a few days ago, he said a lot of good things in the emperor's ears, but the emperor's attitude did not improve, but became more and more angry, and he was unwilling to see the third prince. As soon as the prince came, he was stopped directly by the guards.

There were no guards today, so he guessed that the emperor must be ready to forgive the third prince, as long as the third emperor had some snacks, the emperor would meet him.

Qi Xiu pursed his lips, and shouted again, but there was still no response. After a while, Qi Xiu became a little anxious, and simply knelt on the ground with a firm face, "If the father refuses to see the minister today, the minister will kneel down." Outside this imperial study, wait until the emperor is willing to see his son."

Hunting is the key, if the royal father has been unwilling to see him, then he will definitely not be able to go, if he does not wait until the royal father comes back from the hunting, I am afraid that the position of crown prince is already in the pocket of the second brother, and he has endured it for so long. Isn't that what it is for?
Looking at the closed door in front of him, he wondered if his father would see him. The only thing he could hope for now was that his father had a little trust in him and was willing to listen to his explanation.

Once Qi Xiu knelt, it was afternoon, and he knelt here without eating lunch, and if the emperor needed anything, he would ask someone to send it in without even looking at Qi Xiu.

All the forces in the palaces were secretly watching, and hurried back to report to the masters of the various families.

Seeing the sky slowly getting dark, Qi Xiu still knelt there motionless, without food or drink for a whole day, even a grown man felt a little uncomfortable.

His legs had been stiff for a long time, Qi Xiu stared at the imperial study with fixed eyes, and his heart became colder and colder.

Could it be that the father really doesn't care about affection at all, and is it really because of those few rumors outside that he is going to be thrown into limbo again?
no!Absolutely not!
On such a day, he never wanted to experience the second time, how could he fall down here after finally getting to where he is today step by step.

Qi Xiu gritted his teeth, and his father was cruel, so he would go all out and kneel here!

Time passed bit by bit, and the night gradually approached, Qi Xiu felt that his eyes were a little dark, but the door in front of him was still closed, only the lights in the room told him that his father was still reading in the room.

At the side, Eunuch Gao couldn't stand it any longer, he was in a dilemma, he stepped forward and said softly, "Third prince, why don't you go back today, it's late at night, and the emperor is about to go to bed."

Qi Xiu gritted his teeth, shook his head and refused, if he didn't make his attitude clear, he would have no future and no sleep.

Eunuch Gao pursed his lips, seeing that Qi Xiu was also straightforward and unwilling to leave, so he shook his head and continued to stand aside.

The third prince is the person who looks the least like the emperor among the princes. He grew up with Concubine Rou in the cold palace. The emperor almost forgot that there is such a son. It was an accident. Miss Ning ran into the third prince. Gradually, it fell into the eyes of the emperor.

Miss Ning likes to play with the third prince very much, so the emperor set an example for Miss Ning, so that she can play with the third prince anytime and anywhere.

The emperor is very kind to Miss Ning, probably because the emperor does not have a princess, and he is willing to let Miss Ning do ordinary things.

The next time, by coincidence, the emperor asked Miss Ning a puzzle question, and wanted to test Miss Ning. Miss Ning was old at the time and couldn't answer it, but the third prince answered it calmly.

The emperor was very surprised, after taking many exams for the third prince, the three princes answered all of them one by one, the emperor was overjoyed, and directly ordered people to pick up their mother and son, so that the third prince deserved his name.

After so many years, the emperor also valued the third prince very much, and they all said that being more valued is a good thing, and this matter was clearly revealed by the third prince.

The third prince is not like the emperor in any way, except for his temperament, which is the same as the emperor, both of them are stubborn, as long as there is something they believe in, they will definitely stick to it.

I don't know how long it took before there was a little noise in the room, and then the door was opened, and the emperor stood at the door wearing the robe of the Ming emperor.

Eunuch Gao was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted.

Qi Xiu pursed his lips, looked up at the emperor with a pale face, and said hoarsely, "Father."

The emperor looked at Qi Xiu calmly, and after a while he sighed softly, a little helpless, "Come in."

Qi Xiu's eyes lit up, and he quickly responded. He was so excited that he just stood up, but his feet twitched and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he stabilized himself in time.

Qi Xiu raised the corner of his mouth, rubbed his leg with one hand and walked in.

So what if the legs are numb, as long as the father is willing to see him, it will be worth it.

In the imperial study room, the emperor sat in front of the desk with a calm face, looked at Qi Xiu with both eyes and said softly, "What do you want to say, the emperor?"

Qi Xiu groaned in his heart, knelt down again, and kowtowed his head, "Father, that matter was completely intentionally fabricated to slander my son, please investigate clearly."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and his eyes never left Qi Xiu, "Oh? Then tell me, how can you slander? If it is not true, why would those rumors suddenly spread, Xiu'er, you have to give me a reasonable explanation, Otherwise...you don't want to participate in this hunt, and you can contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors in the palace."

Qi Xiu froze, nodded respectfully and said, "Royal father, son and concubine mother are alone, without backing, how could it be possible, as rumored outside, that son minister is training thousands of dead soldiers in private."

"Don't talk about anything else, just the rations for those thousands of people, the son-in-law can't afford it, let alone training the dead."

"Unless the son-in-law has a strong backing like the second brother, the money will naturally be nothing to worry about."

The emperor pursed his lips and fell into deep thought. Indeed, concubine Rou is different from the empress. The empress's natal family is a dignitary in the capital, and her family wealth is even more innumerable. Concubine Rou is only alone. , To establish such a regiment of dead soldiers requires a huge amount of financial resources, which is simply not something the two of them can have.

It was precisely because he had thought of this a long time ago that he remained silent for a long time and chose to ignore Qi Xiu.

He only has two princes, originally he and that person's child was his favorite, but unfortunately the child has disappeared, he must have died long ago.

He could also feel that his body was gradually weakening, and he would give way after sitting for a few years, and this time he had to be a crown prince.

Although the second child has a wealthy family, he is also very ambitious, and his ambitions are all exposed on weekdays, which makes him very unhappy.

As for the third child, he has no ambition and no strong family backing, so he listens to him very much, which makes him very satisfied. If there is no such incident, he might really choose to establish the third child.

The emperor sighed softly, "You mean that the second child deliberately spread such rumors behind his back to hurt you?"

Qi Xiu's eyes sank, "I don't dare, I just don't understand why this rumor spread out during the hunt, and it's so absurd, it's very likely that someone wanted to Deliberately let the minister have the same identity as the father, please ask the father to investigate clearly."

The emperor pursed his lips, looked at Qi Xiu with a serious face, thought for a long time before sighing, and said with a smile, "Forget it, Xiu'er, I believe you this time, I hope you don't let me down, you will be hunted in the future It's time, now go back and have a good rest, if those rumors are false, that's all, if it's true, Xiu'er"

The emperor didn't continue to speak up to this point, but just looked at Qi Xiu with a pair of fixed eyes, the meaning was self-evident, if it was true, I'm afraid it would be troublesome for him.

Qi Xiu nodded respectfully, got up and retreated.

As soon as he went out, Qi Xiu raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the second prince's palace with his eyes. No matter what happened, his goal had been achieved anyway, and next, he just waited for the second brother to make a move.

Brother, don't let me down.

For two days, Qi Xiu stayed quietly in Concubine Rou's Palace, doing nothing, just waiting for the hunt to arrive.

Finally, under his anticipation, the day of hunting finally came.

Early in the morning, Ning Xiaoqi was pulled up from the emperor in a panic. She dressed up and dressed up in one step. It was not until she was in the carriage that Ning Xiaoqi woke up and looked at Father Ning Ning Mother, a little puzzled, "Father, mother, are you going out to burn incense?"

Father Ning gave a wry smile, with a sad face on his face, "It's fine if we just go to burn incense, now we're going to the hunting venue."

"What!" At the hunting venue, Ning Xiaoqi was taken aback, subconsciously looking at her stomach, a little anxious, "No, dad, what kind of venue do I go to like this? Didn't you tell me to stay at home the day before yesterday? Are you going out? Why are you taking me with you today? "

Now that her big belly has been discovered, there is no place to put the old faces of her parents. Those ladies and misses will definitely spread the word to everyone in the city.

"You think I think it's the emperor's will whether to go or not. In the past, the emperor let us choose whether to bring our family members. As a result, we didn't give us the chance to choose at all this time. Every household must have All present, otherwise it will be regarded as resistance."

Ning's father said that he had a headache, so he had been looking forward to it for several months, but at this time, Ning Xiaoqi's stomach was obvious, and it was no longer enough to cover it with a cloak.

This made him very helpless, it didn't matter how he was talked about, but he didn't want their precious daughter to be talked about, saying that he wouldn't be able to get married in the future.

Mother Ning looked worried, took Ning Xiaoqi's hand and said softly, "Oh, this matter will be known sooner or later, and now it can be regarded as public, and what we are talking about is useless, Xiao Qi, after we get to the place You try to stay in the tent as much as possible and don’t come out, unless you have to attend, Mom will accompany you.”

Ning Xiaoqi nodded, with a serious face, opened the curtain to look outside, at this time they had already arrived at the city gate, a large number of people had already been waiting outside the city, and all the family members in the court had come.

This year, the emperor brought a lot of concubines along with him.

Ning Xiaoqi kept stretching his head to look outside. At this time, a carriage came slowly, parallel to Ning Xiaoqi and the others. Ning Xiaoqi thought who it was, but the other party also opened the door at this time. Curtain, both of them were stunned.

Ning Xiaoqi was really surprised, she never expected to meet her in everything.

The person in the opposite carriage is not the Princess, but who else.

The princess was wearing a pink dress and wrapped herself tightly. Seeing Ning Xiaoqi, she was also taken aback for a moment, but immediately reacted and smiled at Ning Xiaoqi, "Miss Ning, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Ning Xiaoqi twitched the corners of her mouth, and felt that the princess seemed to be a little different. She used to look angry all the time, but now she was really calm.

The princess looked at it for a while, then nodded to Ning Xiaoqi, retracted the carriage and put down the curtain.

Ning Xiaoqi also put down the curtain, thinking about the princess' affairs all the time in her heart, is it true that people will change into another personality after being stimulated?
