Comprehensive film and television: Qingli

(Note: There is no heroine in this chapter, please read with caution!)

Emperor Tai'an had a blank expression on his face. His gaze swept from Xiao Ruojin, who was standing in front of him with a smile on his face, to Xiao Ruofeng, who was a little flustered, and then to nearly half of the ministers who were kneeling below. Anger was burning in his eyes.

It's true that he has his eyes on Xiao Ruofeng and plans to pass the throne to him a hundred years later, but that doesn't mean he will make him the crown prince now.

He's not dead yet!

Have these people already defected to a new master?

Do they still remember who is the master of this world?

Emperor Tai'an slammed the table and shouted angrily, "I'm not even dead yet! Are you already thinking about the Crown Prince?"

"There is no precedent in our dynasty for directly appointing a crown prince. Are you asking me to violate the ancestral system?"

"Are you planning a rebellion?!"

The court fell silent in an instant. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at the furious Emperor Tai'an, except Xiao Ruojin.

Ever since he was "injured", his style of doing things has become different from before, and there is always a hint of madness in what he does.

They will do anything to achieve their goals, and they don't even care about gains and losses, and they don't distinguish between friends and enemies.

Emperor Tai'an said nothing in the end. He looked at Xiao Ruojin deeply, then left with a flick of his sleeves.

Facing this disabled son, he still felt somewhat guilty after all, and was willing to show him some leniency considering that he was already in such a miserable state.

Emperor Tai'an left, but Xiao Ruojin, who was standing there, had an inexplicable feeling.

Ah, it turns out that as long as he is fearless, his father won’t do anything to him!

Xiao Ruojin was still lost in his thoughts when Prince Qing approached him, glaring at him mockingly. "You're truly a lowly person! Even in this state, you still have the courage to come to court?"

"If I were you, I would have just hit my head and died, rather than living under the sympathetic gaze of the world."

"Are you even more jealous of your brother now? Are you always wondering why he wasn't the one who got abandoned?"

"Oh, it must be true. Otherwise, why would you do such a stupid thing as asking your people to persuade the emperor to appoint a crown prince?"

Even he, who wasn't very smart, knew that this was a bad move. He didn't believe that Xiao Ruojin, who was so scheming, didn't know about it.

There is only one possibility, he did it on purpose!

On the one hand, he wanted to help Xiao Ruofeng ascend to the throne, and on the other hand, he wanted to destroy him!

Xiao Xie felt that if he could see it, there was no way Xiao Ruofeng couldn't see it. He was obviously pretending to be stupid!

But no! How could he let him play dumb?

Naturally, he wanted to be the "good guy" and put everything out in the open, hoping that these two good brothers who had always annoyed him would break up and go their separate ways!

So, after he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Xiao Ruofeng and found that he still looked normal. Anyway, he didn't see anything.

Not only him, even Xiao Ruojin didn't react at all this time.

What was going on? Did the two of them come to some kind of agreement behind his back?

King Qing Xiao Xie just felt disappointed and had a feeling that he was wasting his time. He flicked his sleeves and turned away.

After he left, brothers Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng turned around and got on the carriage back to the palace without saying anything along the way.

It was not until they reached the palace gate that Xiao Ruojin turned around to look at Xiao Ruofeng who was following behind him, and said in an ambiguous tone, "What do you think of what Prince Qing said?"

Xiao Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Qing Wang's words are nothing more than an attempt to drive a wedge between us two brothers. Brother, don't take his words to heart."

Xiao Ruofeng had already convinced himself on the way. He didn't dare and didn't want to believe Xiao Xie's words. This sentence was not only to comfort Xiao Ruojin, but also to warn himself that this was the truth!

Xiao Ruojin looked at Xiao Ruofeng, who hadn't changed much from before, and suddenly laughed out loud. He nodded, "Well, I'm glad you think so!"

After this, Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng seemed to have returned to their old ways, with a deep brotherly love, but they were almost inseparable.

Xiao Ruojin had quieted down, and Xiao Ruofeng had no interest in the throne, so Prince Qing Xiao Xie began to actively perform in the court, hoping to take this opportunity to win over the ministers who originally stood on the side of Prince Jingyu and Prince Langya.

Now, even if Xiao Ruofeng was unwilling, at his brother's request he still began to follow his brother's arrangements and use various means to fight for power with King Qing in the court.

Lei Mengsha, who had always been by Xiao Ruofeng's side, saw everything and realized more clearly than anyone else that Xiao Ruofeng had changed...

Coupled with the departure of his wife and daughter, he always felt that his persistence seemed not worth it.

What really prompted Lei Mengsha to leave happened not long after.

Prince Jingyu originally relied on marriage to gain the support of most ministers in the court, but now that he is deposed, cracks have appeared in the previous interest binding and their alliance is no longer stable.

The only way now is to let Xiao Ruofeng continue to marry the ministers in the court on his behalf!

King Jingyu told Xiao Ruofeng his idea, but unexpectedly, he was strongly opposed by him.

"Brother, you know, you and I..."

Xiao Ruofeng was halfway through his words when he realized something was wrong and immediately changed his words, "In my opinion, marriage is not a joke but a responsibility. My princess can only be the woman I truly love!"

It was not his wish to compete with King Qing for power and profit. He really did not want to be like his brother, marrying people but ignoring them.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruojin burst into laughter after hearing his words, "Ruofeng, I'm not forcing you, it's just that things are different now."

"Unlike the Green King, you and I don't have the support of our mother's clan. If we didn't, how would we have a foothold in the court?"

"If it weren't for me..."

"Alas, if I weren't in this state now, I wouldn't let you do this..."

Xiao Ruojin's words immediately made Xiao Ruofeng feel guilty, and Xiao Ruofeng finally agreed. Not only did he have a principal wife and a concubine arranged by his brother and Emperor Tai'an, but he also had a lot of concubines.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Lei Mengsha left.

The main reason was that after Xiao Ruojin arranged his younger brother's marriage, he heard from somewhere that Lei Mengsha's wife had left Tianqi, so he planned to send a few people to him as well.

And Liu Yue and the others, not a single one was spared.

The most important thing is that Xiao Ruofeng actually persuaded them to accept Xiao Ruojin's "good intentions".

Now, except for Lei Mengsha, Liu Yue and the others ran away overnight in order to preserve their chastity and avoid getting their families involved.

Because he didn't react in time, when he opened the door early the next morning, he saw several girls in festive clothes waiting for him at the door.

When Lei Mengsha spoke, the girls smiled at him, which frightened him so much that he suddenly woke up. He closed the door, locked it, and leaned his back against the door.

"You, what are you all here for?"

Suddenly, a charming voice came from outside the door, "Master Lei, we are all sent by the prince to serve you! Please open the door quickly and let us in!"

Lei Mengsha was going crazy and didn't care about being gentle with women. He didn't persuade the women outside to leave. He hurriedly ran back to the house, packed up his things in a hurry, climbed over the back wall, ran to the school, and planned to stay there for a while.

Take refuge!
