The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

"If you had looked at me more and praised me more, I wouldn't have done such a stupid thing."

"Dad! I'm really grateful to you. No matter what happens to me, you protect me unconditionally. But if that premise wasn't to check and balance my eldest brother, it would be much better."

Qin Guoan knew that this was definitely what his son really thought.

He remembered that when Qin Shi was very young, he always liked to compete with Qin Haowen.

In terms of studying, practicing martial arts, making friends, and loving his mother more, Qin Shi would only ask for a better gift for Qin Haowen.

At the time, he was determined to raise his legitimate son to excel. He didn't want him to grow up to be like himself, being called a dull warrior...

So he ignored Qin Shi. Even though Qin Haowen had a bad impression of him as a father because of his mother and sister's affairs at that time, he still wholeheartedly cultivated Qin Haowen!

However, I don’t know if it’s because Qin Haowen is too similar to him, so he has never been good at studying. He can only read military books. He is also a bit reckless and can be easily provoked by a few words.

At this time, Qin Shi, who was very good at studying, caught his eye.

He was thinking about how he could make his legitimate son smarter like Qin Shi!

So, he came up with checks and balances…

He forced Qin Shi to be better, thus arousing Qin Haowen's desire to compare...

He really didn't expect that the son he had raised with all his heart would turn against him. This son, who had never been expected since childhood and was just a chess piece to check and balance the situation, saved his old father at the critical moment.

I don’t know whether Qin Shi was lucky or Qin Haowen’s men were too stupid, but the two of them actually ended up in the imperial study after going around in circles.

"Go find that old thief! The eldest prince said that if we find him, we must kill him."

"No! The Queen said that a life worse than death is the only way to relieve their hatred."

When the two heard the noise, they had to take shelter in the imperial study.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, making both the father and son hold their breath. Qin Guoan prayed in his heart, please don't come over, he hasn't lived enough!

When the two men reached the door of the imperial study and were about to push it open, one of them stopped them, "We've already checked everything here, and we haven't found the imperial seal. Let's look somewhere else. Don't waste time! Once we find the seal, we'll be the first heroes!"

"Yes! The eldest prince has already copied the imperial edict for the succession. Now all he needs is the imperial seal!"

"I don't know where that old thief put the imperial seal."

"Yes! As long as the imperial seal is affixed, no one will dare to disobey it unless there is another imperial edict written by the old emperor himself."

"By then, the entire palace will belong to the eldest prince, and he can kill anyone he wants."

"Anyway! We have long been the eldest prince's people. The eldest prince is intelligent and has extraordinary martial arts skills. He is much more powerful than your majesty!"

"Humph! That crazy old emperor is just lucky, otherwise how could he have gotten the throne?"

As they talked, they burst into laughter and slowly left.

Qin Guoan's veins bulged and he felt anger rising. He had not expected that this rebellious son would dare to forge an imperial edict.

Feng Han wants to make him suffer a fate worse than death! ?

It's just so infuriating.

Qin Shi could clearly see that Qin Guoan's face was filled with anger.

I was so angry that my body was shaking slightly.

He hurried forward, gently patted his father's back, and whispered in a soothing voice, "Dad! I believe that big brother was just confused for a moment! The Queen only said such angry words because she was thinking of her daughter!"

"If we can't escape soon, then Father, please hand me and Mother over."

"The Empress is extremely resentful of the two of us. Although the other concubines in the harem are also seen as thorns in her eyes, the children of those concubines are basically all girls. Even if there are boys, they are too young to pose any threat to my eldest brother."

"Perhaps only this way can I calm the anger in my elder brother and the Empress's heart, but I only ask that Father can spare Yongle."

Qin Guoan looked at his son with eyes full of emotion.

"What have I done to deserve such a filial son like you?"

"Don't worry, Dad will do his best to protect you."

"Dad will never let that beast succeed."

When Qin Shi heard this, he frowned slightly uncontrollably. Aren’t the words of the two guards outside clear enough?

As long as there is a summons written by the emperor himself and stamped with the jade seal on the pillow, the problem can be mostly solved.

But why did he only say these insignificant things?

"Son! Daddy is truly sorry for you and your mother. I neglected you while you were growing up and didn't teach you martial arts properly. That's why you're so thin."

"But don't worry, as long as we get through this difficult time, Dad will always be by your side and teach you martial arts. We can practice martial arts together, strengthen our bodies, and fight on the battlefield together in the future."

Qin Guoan kept on talking and said many words expressing his guilt, but not a single word was what Qin Shi wanted to hear.

He cursed in his heart, if guilt could be used as money, he would definitely become the richest man in the world, but his goal from the beginning to the end was not to be the richest man in the world, but to be the highest person in power.

He even had some doubts, was Qin Guoan pretending to be stupid in front of him?

Or, even now, he still wants to hold on to that ridiculous power and refuses to let go?

"Dad! I have a plan that can deal with the current situation."

"My son, tell me, I've seen you're smart since you were little. I'll definitely approve of your plan."

"Dad, if you write an imperial edict to pass the throne to me, this matter will be completely resolved!"

Qin Guoan's eyes flashed with shock. "What does this mean? Do you also want to be like that beast? Take my position and then kill me?"

Qin Shi quickly shook his head, "Dad, you really are overthinking it. You can write an imperial edict to pass the throne to me and then read it out in front of everyone, but that doesn't mean you have to pass the position to me."

"Only a son can protect you openly!"

"After this difficult time, if you feel that your son does not meet your expectations, you can destroy this imperial edict and write a new one."

"After all, once a crown prince is appointed, he can be deposed later."

"Dad! This is just a way for us to get through this difficult time. I will never covet the position of Crown Prince. Once my brothers grow up, you can make your own choice."
