Chapter 879

Facing Bai Jinli's repeated questioning, the prince was obviously stumped.

A trace of daze and hidden anger flashed across his gloomy and cold face, and when he was about to say something, he felt Feng Qinghuang who was standing beside him gently pull him.

The prince couldn't help turning his head to look into Feng Qinghuang's eyes, and then heard her pull his sleeve and speak in a very gentle tone.

"Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense."

"She just found out that something happened to her husband, and she must have felt extremely uncomfortable, so she tried every means to disturb His Highness's mind and destroy the good things between His Highness and my concubine."

"Your Highness, don't be fooled by her tricks, after all, His Highness is someone who wants to make great things happen."

"Yes, what Huang'er said is correct." After hearing Feng Qinghuang's words, the prince's eyes immediately became firm.

The next moment, the prince looked at Bai Jinli with obvious defense and disgust.

"Mr. Qingping Township, Gu advises you not to talk nonsense, otherwise don't blame Gu for being rude to you."

As soon as the threatening sound came out, Bai Jinli couldn't help but sneered, but she was too lazy to continue wasting words with the prince.

Now the prince standing in front of them didn't know whether he was too obsessed or wanted to get that position so much that he was deliberately pretending to be stupid. He could no longer accept any words from everyone.

Since then, he can only reap the fruits of his own suffering.

The guards and eunuchs who were ordered by the prince to go to the Hanlin Academy to invite someone quickly brought a young official in court uniform into the hall.

Bai Jinli just took a casual look, and then realized...that young official was none other than Shen Qinghan, an old acquaintance she had known a long time ago.

That's right, Shen Qinghan was the second place in the scientific examination last year. He worked in the Imperial Academy, and his position was editor of the Imperial Academy.

Because of his high professional ability, he was once recommended by his superiors to issue imperial edicts for His Majesty, and the sacrificial scriptures won His Majesty's fancy, and he has often written here since then.

These Bai Jinli had also been mentioned by someone inadvertently, and did not deliberately inquire about it.

Since entering the capital, she has hardly had any contact with Shen Qinghan.

So when I first saw a former acquaintance wearing an official uniform, I suddenly felt like a world away.

And Shen Qinghan, who was brought into the hall by those people, immediately went to look for His Majesty's traces and was about to salute, but he was a little dazed after his eyes accidentally glanced at the scene.

What's going on... in front of me?

Why does His Majesty look bad lying on the bed?And without saying a word?
Why was the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness tied here with serious injuries?

After looking at the prince and the tense atmosphere in the hall, Shen Qinghan suddenly had a bad and bold guess in his heart.

The prince is trying to force the palace?

"My minister attended His Majesty and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Even though there were turbulent waves in his heart, Shen Qinghan clenched his fists in his sleeves hard to make himself look calm and self-sufficient.

"Are you the editor who often writes imperial edicts for my father?"

"I'm panicked, I'm just doing my own thing." Shen Qinghan said lightly.

"Gu orders you, now go and write an edict of abdication according to my father's tone. If you write it well, you will be rewarded, otherwise..."

Although the latter words were not uttered, Shen Qinghan clearly heard a strong sense of threat from those words.

At this moment, he was also very flustered and entangled.

Encountering such a major event, he, a small official of the seventh rank, was involved in it. Life is full of surprises.

He understands very well that no matter whether today's imperial decree is written or not, the possibility of him surviving is very slim.

If he wrote it, he would be an insider. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he who knows the secret of the prince will definitely be eliminated.

If you don't write it, I'm afraid the prince will want to kill him now.

And speaking from a general point of view, if he just listened to the prince's words and wrote this article, his conscience might not make it through.

At this moment, His Majesty is still lying there watching, and Daqi State has been stable and prosperous during His Majesty's rule of the country.

Even if there is a war, His Majesty still cares about the soldiers in the front, honest and loving the people.

He couldn't guarantee what the prince who came up to force the palace casually would do once he took the throne.

If the time comes when the crown prince seizes the government in a hurry and makes Da Qi go backwards, how will he pay for his sins?
Seeing Shen Qinghan knelt on the ground silently, the prince walked towards him a few steps, the long sword in his hand fell to Shen Qinghan's neck, and said with a bit of threat in his voice.

"What? You don't understand what Gu said, do you?"

Just when Shen Qinghan felt that he was wrapped in a cold killing intent, a familiar female voice suddenly came from beside his ear.

"His Royal Highness, since you need that lord's help, you naturally have to give him time to react. The content of the imperial decree cannot be written casually."

Can't help but slightly raised his head and looked in that direction, and then Shen Qinghan saw the woman buried deep in his memory.

She sat on a stool not far away, with her hands gently on her stomach, with a calm and gentle face.

Perhaps it was because there were too many people in the room and it was not obvious that she was sitting there, Shen Qinghan only discovered her existence at this moment.

But, why did Bai Jinli appear in this hall at this time?

Was she also coerced by the prince?

Under such circumstances, she would actually speak for him?Is this taking into account the friendship between fellow villagers?

"Okay, I'll give you time, think about it carefully." The prince swished the long sword back in his hand.

"His Royal Highness, I dare to ask, how is Your Majesty doing now? I still have questions to ask His Majesty for advice."

"My royal father is very well. You don't need to worry about it. Whatever I ask you to do, you just do it carefully."

After the prince finished speaking, he pointed impatiently at the two guards beside him and said.

"Take him to the study over there, and watch him write. If he dares to make trouble out of nothing, just chop him off."

"Yes, my subordinate obeys." After hearing this, the two guards immediately walked over, one on the left and one on the right, and carried Shen Qinghan to the desk beside him.

"His Royal Highness, I would like to go back to the Imperial Academy to find some information. After all, I am still young, and I have never written such a thing before. It is really a bit exhausting."

"Oh? What information do you need, let's just say, let someone find it alone." The prince lightly rejected Shen Qinghan's request.

What a joke, he is not a fool, how could he allow the people in the hall to go out at this critical moment?

Isn't it a good thing to wait for someone to destroy him?
That is, when Shen Qinghan was forced to write the edict of abdication, the prince asked the people next to him.

"What's the matter? Have you ever found my father's jade seal?"

"His Royal Highness, not yet, the servants are still looking for it."

"waste!"

"I can't find anything, so what's the use of you?"

After cursing a few words, the prince strode to the bed and looked at His Majesty Qi Heng who was lying there and said.

"Father, my son is asking you for the last time, where did you put the jade seal?"

Qi Heng, who was lying there, stared at the prince bitterly, without saying a word, but the meaning in his eyes was very obvious.

The prince felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by that gaze, and even panicked in his heart, so he couldn't help but deliberately shifted his gaze to His Majesty's collar.

The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be to him, the prince understands this truth very well.

So he simply became ruthless and stretched out his hand to pinch His Majesty Qi Heng's neck.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? That is His Majesty, your biological father!"

After seeing the prince's actions, Mr. Zhang immediately rushed to beat him with anger.

However, those people standing aside were not props, they quickly stood in front of Mr. Zhang, and several people started to deal with Mr. Zhang at the same time.

Mr. Zhang had indeed led troops to fight before, but he had to retreat because he was seriously injured on the battlefield.

Then he lived the idle life of ordinary people. Although he still has a foundation in martial arts, he is old and his opponents are all extraordinary masters.

So after about ten moves, he was subdued in place.

"Prince, are you crazy? If you want to attack His Majesty, you might as well step over the old minister's corpse first!"

The oppressed Mr. Zhang struggled violently, with the aura of burning everything together.

"Boss Zhang thinks too much, how could Gu take action against the father? Gu just helped the father tidy up his clothes."

The prince smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and slowly smoothed Qi Heng's collar, then his fingers slid to His Majesty's chin and pinched it.

"Father, my son's patience is limited!"

"呲~~咲咲~~"

Qi Heng, who seemed to be completely annoyed by the prince's actions and performance, stared wide-eyed, with anger and deep disappointment written all over his face.

His complexion was originally sickly white, but at this moment, he didn't know whether he was angry or something else, and an abnormal red rose on his cheeks.

After making a strange noise, he tilted his head, closed his eyes and fell backwards.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" Seeing Qi Heng like this, Elder Zhang couldn't help crying out.

"Father?" The prince didn't expect His Majesty to be like this suddenly, and a look of panic flashed across his face.

His fingers quickly landed on the tip of Qi Heng's nose to investigate.

When he found that he was still alive, he hurriedly said, "Father is still alive, he is not dead."

"His Royal Highness, hurry up and invite the imperial physician!"

"How about I help His Majesty take a look?" Bai Jinli who was sitting there suddenly got up and made a sound.

"you?"

"Yes. Your Highness, don't forget that the minister's wife came out of medical school, so she naturally knows some medical skills."

"The Imperial Hospital is still some distance away from here. If we continue to delay, I'm afraid His Majesty's health may be unwell."

After hearing what Bai Jinli said, the prince nodded without hesitation.

"You go and take a look for your father."

He hasn't found Yuxi yet, hasn't taken that position yet, and doesn't want to watch his father die in front of him yet.

"Yes." Bai Jinli nodded, and walked to His Majesty's bed.
