The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Li Qingyi does have something going on.

Because there was movement outside the door again, this time no one deliberately led Li Qingyi out, but after a brief exchange at the door, Qinglian lifted the door curtain and came in, bowing and saying: "Your Highness, Commander Luo is here."

Commander Luo, Luo Hong, the head of the Qingyi Guard, has been working under his biological father for many years.

Li Qingyi had seen him when he was still young. After all, he was the one who worked directly with the emperor. Although he was also a secret guard, he often walked in public and many people knew him.

Over the years, because Li Qingyi often visited the emperor, he met this person many times and they became familiar with each other.

When he saw Luo Hong, Li Qingyi was startled at first, and subconsciously looked at the other party's current state and expression, but found that the other party had a calm face and there was no sign of anything unusual.

Even in winter, Luo Hong still seemed to be wearing only the thin uniform of the Green Guards. However, as a commander, his clothes were slightly more delicate than those of ordinary Green Guards, and he wore a token and commander's token personally bestowed by the emperor around his waist.

Perhaps sensing what Li Qingyi was worried about, Luo Hong bowed neatly after entering the room and said without further ado, "Your Highness, even though the previous incident has been settled, the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince know that you will be uneasy after receiving the news, so they sent their subordinates to pick you up."

Li Qingyi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Then, she realized the meaning of Luo Hong's words and asked in surprise: "Has it been resolved?"

Luo Hong's eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't look directly at Li Qingyi. He simply answered: "Yes, the culprit has been executed, and all the people involved have been arrested. Before I come, the emperor has sent His Royal Highness Prince An out of the palace to deal with the follow-up."

If it was someone else who came, even if the other person was also wearing the uniform of the Blue Guards, Li Qingyi would still have to check with the system for more confirmation before following the other person away after ensuring his own safety.

But since it was Luo Hong who came, Li Qingyi had nothing to worry about and nodded without hesitation: "Okay, let's go."

After walking two steps, Li Qingyi remembered Ren Qingming who was placed elsewhere, and told Qinglian: "Qinglian, please help me send the teacher back. Come back and report back after you are sure he is safe."

Qinglian bowed and responded.

Only then did Li Qingyi feel at ease to leave with Luo Hong and head to the scene of the incident.

It usually takes about two quarters of an hour to walk from where Li Qingyi teaches to the Qianqing Palace.

But today, because Li Qingyi was anxious, the group arrived at the Qianqing Palace in less than a quarter of an hour. Li Qingyi did not even look at the people standing, kneeling or lying at the door. He vaguely smelled some blood and rushed in without caring about anything else.

"Father! Mother!"

She had just shouted twice and hadn't said anything else when she saw all the familiar faces in the room turning to look at her and pausing slightly.

Oh, there are some unfamiliar people too. The two men and two women standing in the middle don’t look like people from the palace, nor do they look like officials. The clothes they are wearing…

Li Qingyi's mind was a little stuck, but his body subconsciously took two steps towards the direction of the prince. He turned around and met a pair of clear eyes. He was a little surprised: "Hey? Xie Wei? Why are you here too?"

With just a quick glance, Li Qingyi could already tell that the emperor and empress were both fine, their clothes were not messy, and they were sitting at the top smiling, as if nothing had happened.

Her brother was at the bottom, his court robes cut with a large tear, revealing the soft armor underneath, and he was holding a long sword in his hand. Although there was no blood, some dark marks on the carpet were still very conspicuous.

But looking at his brother's expression, there didn't seem to be any unexpected situation, so Li Qingyi relaxed at this moment.

Hearing her words, Xie Wei's eyes flashed, and he slowly smiled: "Your Highness, Holy Ann."

At this time, the prince also reached out and pulled Li Qingyi to his side, and casually handed the long sword in his hand to the tall figure behind him, and said to Li Qingyi: "Xie Wei came to the palace to report the news, and just happened to run into you. Sister, did you run all the way here? Why is your hair wet with sweat?"

Li Qingyi did run over here, and the heat from his breath could be seen. Hearing this, he touched his hair on his forehead, and then realized something, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Oh, I... am I ugly now?"

The prince answered without thinking: "Not ugly, you are the most beautiful."

As he was speaking, the emperor said, "Okay, Prince, let Yi'er come over to me."

The prince paused after hearing this, and straightened Li Qingyi's hair that was a little messy due to the wind, and then patted Li Qingyi on the shoulder: "Go, you must be very worried about your father, right? I wanted to keep the news a secret and tell you after everything was settled, but someone still took advantage of it."

Li Qingyi took two steps forward with the force of his brother. Hearing what he said, he remembered something, looked around, and finally remembered that he had forgotten someone.

But when she wanted to ask, she happened to meet the empress's calm gaze at this moment, and swallowed the words on her lips. In the end, she just walked quietly to the emperor, "Father..."

Li Qingyi thought that the emperor just wanted to confirm her safety at close range, but she didn't expect that the emperor asked Luo Hong to call her over at this time. In addition to letting both parties confirm each other's safety, he also had another purpose.

Looking at the imperial edict in his hand that had obviously been prepared long ago, Li Qingyi looked up at his father again, met his smiling eyes, opened and closed his mouth, and was speechless for a while.

How to say?

say what?

My dear father, are you really prepared for any eventuality? Have you even prepared the imperial edict to pass on the throne?

Or, now that everything has been settled and you, my dear father, haven't even been hurt, why are you passing the throne to the prince?

Li Qingyi felt a little confused, and felt that he might not be fully awake yet. His neck was trembling, and he slowly looked towards the queen who was sitting next to the emperor.

There was a pleading look in her eyes, but the queen just smiled and nodded: "Since your father has made the decision, he must have his reasons."

On the other side, the Seventh Princess, who was wearing silver armor, crossed her arms, yawned, and said, "Okay, Little Eleven, quickly read the imperial edict, and then let's finish what we need to do, and let me go back to rest. I haven't slept since last night, and I'm so sleepy."

Li Qingyi: "...Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

She felt that her father, the emperor, was still in his prime, and was still a good emperor who worked hard and loved his people. He was capable, resourceful, and responsible, and he didn't seem to be showing any signs of becoming senile in his old age. Why did he suddenly want to abdicate?

what?

The emperor said: "Abdicate or not, the prince is the one doing the work now. If you don't want to, I don't mind."

The prince was silent.

Li Qingyi heard it for the first time: "Ah?"
