"What's going on?" The Empress Dowager, who was sitting under the grape trellis in the library, suddenly asked Min Shanggong who was standing next to her, "Is Chongning back?"

Min Shanggong stretched her neck towards the courtyard gate and listened. "My hearing is not good, so I didn't hear it clearly. How about we go to the front and ask?"

"Okay, then go ahead." The Queen Mother waved her hand at Min Shang Gong.

Min Shanggong walked out of the library backwards.

"Grand Empress Dowager~~~~" The person standing at the gate of the library shouted, "You, what you asked, the Crown Prince has already explained it clearly. The Crown Prince really came........."

"......You mean that I have kidnapped the Empress Dowager and the Emperor?!" Prince Kang, who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager, slammed the table and stood up.

But he forgot that the table in front of him was a slate table.

This slap caused King Kang's eyes to turn red in pain.

But for the sake of face, he bit his lower lip tightly and said nothing.

So to outsiders, this expression does seem to be a mixture of sadness and anger.

In King Kang's territory, the Crown Prince of Qi did not dare to act too rashly.

After all, he had already enjoyed once... the feeling of producing and selling his own products, so he really didn't dare to offend King Kang again.

So the Prince of Qi could only stammer, "Nephew didn't mean that. Mainly...it was a misunderstanding. It must be a misunderstanding."

"Alright," the Empress Dowager took the piece of autumn pear handed to her by the Princess and said calmly, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, the Emperor wants to kill you."

The prince of Qi's knees softened and he immediately knelt down, "Ah~~~~~~~"

This was not a howl of terror.

Instead, he slammed his knees onto the cobblestone road, wailing in pain.

The Prince of Qi, feeling that his knee might have been broken, simply crawled towards the Empress Dowager.

As he crawled, he kept yelling, "Grand Empress Dowager, didn't you say you would spare my life? I swear to heaven, this is a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"

"I know." The Queen Mother used her walking stick to stop the Prince of Qi who was crawling towards her, "Stay away from me. Otherwise, I will kill you right now."

The Prince of Qi, who was crawling on the ground, dared not move any more.

The Empress Dowager then continued: "Like this~"

Then, she stuffed another piece of autumn pear into her mouth, and then turned to the princess and said, "This pear is not yet in season, it's not delicious."

.........

The princess quickly responded, "It's inconvenient to go in and out of the city these days. When it's more convenient, I'll buy it for you outside."

“Hmm~~~~” The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction.

The yard suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at the Queen Mother.

The Grand Empress Dowager picked up her teacup and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me?"

"What you just said 'like this' means........." King Kang reminded.

"Is that so?" The Empress Dowager looked at Prince Kang suspiciously.

"........Hey, we were talking about how to deal with the Prince of Qi." King Kang had to make it clear.

The old lady suddenly realized, "Oh~~~~~ That's right! I told you not to disturb me, look, look!! You are all so talkative."

Prince Kang and the Princess did not dare to refute. They just shrank their necks and said that the Empress Dowager was right to scold them.

Then the old lady continued: "So, Prince Kang......"

"Grand Empress Dowager, you called me?!"

The Prince of Kang, who was passing by on patrol, suddenly heard the Empress Dowager calling him, and walked into the yard.

Prince Kang and the Princess held their foreheads in pain.

.........It was the first time that they hated their silly eldest son so much.

Do I have to say this again?!

Help! ! !

The Prince of Qi, who was crawling on the ground, was about to cry.

He wants to stand up now, can he?

To be honest, his waist is not in good condition. He feels like his waist is about to break from lying like this all the time.

After explaining for dozens of sentences again, the topic of the Empress Dowager finally returned to the right track.

“Yuan~~~~~ What’s your name? Never mind, it’s not important.” The Empress Dowager said to the Prince of Qi who was lying in front of her, “Although I have saved your life, you also know that the palace of Prince Kang has a complicated personnel structure, and there are all kinds of people from all walks of life.

So, although I won't take your life, I can't stop those people in the underworld from not liking you and want to kill you, right?"

Yeah...bullshit.

Isn't this still you wanting to kill me?!

The prince thought.

But he still nodded, "Yes, indeed...I still ask the Empress Dowager to show me a way out."

"The way out is simple. Just open your mouth." The Empress Dowager used her long fingernails to circle the teacup in front of her. "Before Chongning ascends the throne, you must tell the world exactly what your father planned."

“........Eh?!” The Prince of Qi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up, “Chongning?! Chongning is…..Ten Thousand Yuan Fu!? Eh?! Eh?! Eh?!”

"Hey, you idiot!" The Empress Dowager couldn't help but curse: "Just tell me whether this can be done or not. I am also a straightforward person.

If you say it can be done, then I will make the decision and spare your life. If you say it cannot be done, then I will do as the emperor says and kill you.

It’s up to you to decide what to choose.”

"........No," the prince of Qi climbed up and looked at King Kang and asked, "Uncle, aren't you trying to usurp the throne?!"

“…Someone, come, come!! Kill him, kill him!!” King Kang could no longer bear it, “I will choose for you today, okay?! Shuangxi!!! Where the hell is he? Hurry up and bring me my knife!!”

"No, no, no, uncle, you misunderstood, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant, what I meant was..."

The prince of Qi's barely adequate brain was working at super high speed.

"My nephew meant that I never expected that it was Wan Yuanfu who wanted to do something that was against the law that day."

"I asked him to do it." The Queen Mother raised her head, glanced at the Prince of Qi, then turned to King Kang and said, "Kill him quickly. It is unjust for him to curse me. When the time comes, you can tell the court officials that the Prince of Qi died because he contradicted and cursed me."

"Yes, grandson will kill him right away."

After saying this, King Kang stood up and was about to take his sword from Shuangxi.

The prince of Qi collapsed, "Don't dare, don't dare, the prince doesn't dare! ! The Queen Mother, you are right, this throne, this throne originally belongs to Wan Yuanfu! After all, he is the prince's bloodline.

My father, my father is the one who is rebelling! My father has 30,000 private soldiers, who are on their way here. He also recruited many beggars and vagrants to open iron mines and forge weapons for him, and also...!"

"Alright, that's enough~~~~Besides, I'm afraid of myself and can't help but go back on my word," the Empress Dowager made a gesture to the Prince of Qi to shut up.

Then, she stretched her neck and shouted towards the gate of the courtyard: "Min Shanggong, bring someone in."

Everyone in the library looked towards the gate curiously...
