The bad ending of the book rushes to catch up with the plot, and the crazy criticism of awakening ta

Late at night, Qi Binwei sat on the dark steps of the palace, looking down at the ground.

No one knows what he is thinking.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but there was unconcealable sadness in his eyes, and he looked depressed.

"Father, you are finally dead. Dead..."

Qi Binwei muttered to himself, looking at the palace where his mother had lived for a year. Thinking of the miserable days in the past, he chuckled softly but couldn't hold back his tears.

He was tired after all these years of planning.

He was worried all the time, afraid that one day someone would discover his thoughts and kill him easily.

Now, part of the plan has been completed, but he feels more sad than happy.

Concubine De once painted a portrait of him, but the portrait was destroyed by other princes when he was a child. Now he can't remember what his mother looked like. He only knows that his mother often sat here, looking at the sky in all directions, looking at the dark ground, touching her pregnant belly, and looking worried.

In the end, he died in this small world, and no one even knew where his body was buried.

Now, his father is dead, but he will be given a grand funeral in the future, and everyone will grieve for him. He doesn't deserve it!

Qi Binwei narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a fierce look.

The Yunli Kingdom is not in chaos enough. Those ministers are all fence-sitters. Whoever has the highest status will be allowed to succeed to the throne.

My dear third brother, you should be very happy now. You have a mother of noble birth and an uncle who is the prime minister to help you. When our father passed away, he loved you very much.

It’s a pity that in the end, my father was unable to write the edict to appoint a crown prince. You and I could both be candidates for the new emperor.

wrong.

The new emperor can only be me.

Fourth brother is dead, eldest brother is useless, and you are about to be useless too, wait for me...

Qi Binwei lowered his head and chuckled, as if he was crazy.

Qi Rui was indeed very happy. When Emperor Jing'an passed away, he was a little sad, but he was soon replaced by joy.

He will soon become the king of Yunli Kingdom, so it is naturally worth being happy.

"Mother, if I become the new emperor, you will be the empress dowager. I will definitely not let the queen sit on this position."

Qi Rui took a sip of wine and had a secret discussion with Concubine Shu in the palace.

Concubine Shu sat lazily on the chair, her red lips slightly parted, her face full of joy, "Rui'er, it's good that you have this intention. Mother will help to deal with the Queen's side. You must go to the Queen Mother more often today and listen to the opinions of the court officials. In the end, the choice of the new emperor will still be decided by the Queen Mother."

Qi Rui disagreed and said sarcastically, "They just said that. No one wants to be the first to speak. I say, mother, why don't you go see uncle? Now uncle is the leader of all the ministers. Those pedantic ministers will definitely listen to what he says. Mother also knows that uncle has always looked down on me."

Concubine Shu: "My brother is a very strict person, but if I come forward, he will give me some face. He should know how to make a choice in this situation."

Qi Rui stood up, bowed to Concubine Shu, and said flatteringly, "Thank you, mother."

Concubine Shu was amused by his actions and quickly asked him to stand up, saying jokingly, "Look at what you are doing. Mother and son are one. You will have to count on Rui'er in the future."

"I will definitely not let you down, mother. Just wait and enjoy your life. I will make those who look down on us pay a heavy price!"

Qi Rui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

However, Qi Rui didn't know that Qi Binwei had a backup plan, and there were still clues left from what happened many years ago.

After Wen Xiangzhu left the courtyard, he went to see Song Yuanbai. The situation was turbulent, so they were very cautious when they met.

When Song Yuanbai saw him, an unnatural look emerged on his face. Wen Xiangzhu saw it, but pretended not to have seen it and continued chatting with him as before.

"The Fifth Prince has sent a message. We can proceed to the next step. Are you ready?"

"That thing needs to be done now?"

"Yes, tell your father the truth about what happened two and a half years ago today and let him make a decision. No matter what decision he makes, the Fifth Prince will not blame him."

"I understand. This matter should have come to an end, but it has no effect on overthrowing the Third Prince. Why..."

"No reason, just do everything the Fifth Prince says." Wen Xiangzhu interrupted him and stared into Song Yuanbai's eyes, and asked softly, "Song Yuanbai, your original camp was the Fourth Prince, right?"

Hearing this, Song Yuanbai's heart trembled slightly, but he denied it without changing his expression, "Why do you say that? The Song family has always been neutral. I told you before."

Wen Xiangzhu chuckled and did not continue speaking, changing the subject.

"It doesn't matter. No matter which prince's camp you were in before, it doesn't matter now. You saw it that day. The Fourth Prince is dead. My people and the Third Prince's people surrounded and suppressed him together. If you chose the wrong person, it's not too late to make a new choice now."

"However, there is one more thing I want to ask. When Shen Jiayu left Kyoto, what did you want to do by sending someone to follow her? Did you want to kidnap her to threaten me, or did you want to kill her?"

Song Yuanbai, who was sitting upright, had his pupils tremble slightly. Obviously, he did not expect that Wen Xiangzhu was so well-informed after leaving Kyoto.

Suddenly, I thought that Qi Binwei was in Kyoto, and he would probably pass on the news to him, but how would he know about Shen Jiayu's incident?

Song Yuanbai pretended to be calm. No matter what he had thought before, he couldn't say what he really thought. He said awkwardly, "Oh, you mean that incident? I remember you said that if there was any unusual movement, you should send a message to Shen Jiayu and ask her to find you."

"You are far away in Qinghe City. She is your wife. It is perfect for her to come and look for you. The people sent to follow her are to protect her. But she is very good. She got rid of my people and returned to Kyoto. My people found the fake Shen Jiayu."

Wen Xiangzhu couldn't bear to listen to his made-up story because the excuses were too lame. Since Song Yuanbai didn't want to say anything, he couldn't press him too hard. The people who followed Shen Jiayu didn't do anything out of line.

The person who pretended to be Shen Jiayu is also alive, and should be traveling freely in the vast universe at this moment.

"Oh? I see. Thanks."

Wen Xiangzhu gave a fake smile and said some meaningless words.

Song Yuanbai also echoed, with a fake smile.

"Let's get back to business. I need to inform my sister about this matter first. She is at your house. I will go with you later and find a chance to talk to her."

Wen Xiangzhu nodded slightly.

This matter needs to be told to Song Qinghong. It seems that she will not be able to sleep well tonight.
