Engage

The matter has been exposed, and in front of the ironclad evidence, it is no longer meaningful to continue arguing. Qi Xiu knelt in front of the empress, his generous back bent deeply, showing a faint decline like autumn leaves.

The queen stood there like a statue, looking down at her eldest son expressionlessly, looking so indifferent, with only a trace of pain in the depths of her black eyes.Under such eyes, Qi Xiu became more and more humble, and almost prostrated herself on the ground. At this moment, she said: "You let me down very much."

Qi Xiu knelt on the ground and remained silent.

The queen said: "When she was born, you often guarded her cradle. At that time, you were a big brother who loved your younger siblings, Axiu. Since when did you become so fierce and cruel?"

Qi Xiu looked at her with a pale face, his lips trembled for a while, and said hoarsely: "Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family. Mother, it's not that I have changed, but that I have grown up."

The Empress's eyes sharpened, and she looked at Qi Xiu sharply like a knife. Qi Xiu faced the knife-like gaze, and said with difficulty: "Isn't it, Empress? I loved them before, it's true, but I Your benevolent love only made me a poor proton empress sent to another country! I am your eldest son, I should be the first in line heir, spiritual power, ha, spiritual power! Because of spiritual power , just because of those S-level mental powers, you made Xiao Wu the crown prince! Empress, how unfair this is!"

"Unfair? Do you know what a double-S-level monarch can bring to the empire?"

"I don't know! I don't want to know either! But, is this still fair? I'm also your child. It's not enough for you to give Xiao Wu the double-S-level genes, and you have to give her the empire. Don't you Do you think she got too much and too easily?"

Qi Xiu said madly: "I don't accept it! Yes, I just don't accept it! Why should she be established as the crown prince since she was a child, and I can only be her subject for the rest of her life? I don't accept that as the eldest son, why should I be her kingdom?" And all the eyes from other countries? After I disobeyed her and was born, you will always see her in your eyes, but we have to work ten times and a hundred times to get a look from you!"

"So you've always thought so."

"Isn't it?" Qi Xiu raised his head and stared at her. It was obviously a disrespectful act, but the queen didn't say anything about it. She just looked at Qi Xiu with a trace of pity, as if she was looking at an ignorant person. child.

However, at the age of 30, in his late thirties, no matter how much resentment and grievance Qi Xiu has in his heart, he will be responsible for his actions, which is unquestionable.

"Ah Xiu, when Xiao Lian was born, how old were you?"

"Ten years old." Qi Xiu didn't understand why His Majesty suddenly mentioned this, but he remembered it very clearly, and he remembered the birthdays of all his brothers and sisters very clearly, because it was during those days that the thorns in his eyes were born one by one.

"Then how old was she when she was established as the crown prince?"

"Five years old. After she was tested to have double S-level mental strength." Qi Xiu said with a hint of disdain.

The empress's eyes grew more pity: "What if I told you that she had already shown a double-s level of mental strength at birth?"

Qi Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the queen say: "If it's really because of the level of mental power, then why did you wait until she was five years old? Ah Xiu, of course you can't become the crown prince because you don't have the qualities to be a king, and Xiao Lian Being able to become the crown prince is of course because she has the potential to be a king. Five years, this time is a bit short, but it is enough to see a person's character clearly. A person's character is innate, whether you want to admit it or not, many people, when they were young, The path of life is determined."

"Of course, I have to admit that her level of mental power makes me lean towards her, but I can choose her only if she really has the qualifications to become the crown prince. It's just that this standard is lowered a bit, because your little sister does have Some flaws."

The queen stared at Qi Xiu for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Ah Xiu, do you want to know what she lacks?"

Qi Xiu shook his head bewilderedly, then nodded again.

"She lacks the indifference that a king really should have. If she had, she would not have lived so painfully in the past few years. She also lacks 'ruthless'. She will never be as ruthless as you, and she cannot abandon Brotherly love, because she had a brother who died for her. You should feel lucky, because of the fourth child, although Xiao Lian has always known what you and the second child are thinking, but has never taken the initiative to lay hands on you, and even if it is After you treated her so cruelly, she just stripped everything away, but she didn't do anything secretly. Otherwise, you would have been thrown into prison by now, instead of being so comfortably imprisoned here In a beautiful building."

Qi Xiu felt that all the bones in his body were being pulled away. He knelt on the ground, and when the queen said "You can do it yourself", he suddenly said, "What about you? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are indifferent, you It's cruel enough, so have you never really loved us? Whether it's me or Qi Lian."

The queen stopped in her tracks and looked back at him: "Ah Xiu, you are over 30 years old, and you still come to ask questions that only three-year-olds would ask. Have your years been wasted?"

Qi Xiu lost his mind and said: "Let's think they are white. Your Majesty, can you answer?"

This question is childish and funny, but at the same time, it is Qi Xiu's last struggle.He thought, in fact, maybe they are all the same, he didn't lose to Qi Lian, but to this cold and ruthless emperor.

The empress was also aware of the stubbornness contained in this question. In order to see her imprisoned eldest son, she wore a low-key casual dress, but she was still full of the majesty of those in power.She stood by the door, looking down at his eldest son who looked like a stray dog, the place in her heart that had been hardened already showed signs of loosening.

She sighed almost inaudibly.

"When you were born, I held you in my arms and went to see you every day. It can be said that if one of you brothers and sisters gets the most time from me, that person is not Xiao Wu who was born last, but You. You are my first child. I am so happy for your arrival. I endured the pain of [-] months of pregnancy for you, and only once for you. Do you think I don’t love you? It’s just because of me I can't love you like an ordinary mother."

The Queen's words came from the heart, Qi Xiu listened with his head down, his whole body trembled.In fact, he has passed his thirties, but in front of this respected emperor, in front of such words that hit the soul directly, he can still cry like a child without any psychological burden.

Because he was also the queen's child.

"If I hadn't worn the crown, I could have put out a big plate of muffins one afternoon and watched you play happily and watch you grow up like a normal mother. But it's just 'If', as you said, the most ruthless emperor's family, not only between siblings, but also between mother and child, how much love can be expressed?"

Qi Xiu was already sobbing.

"Just like now, although I have said these things to you, after I finish speaking, my attitude towards you will not loosen. You did something wrong, and it was such a big mistake. I will not My child protects you, because it is my other child that you are trying to murder." The Queen said in her usual calm and majestic voice.

"I understand."

"Just understand?"

"I knew I was wrong."

"Well, it's not enough just to know your mistakes, remember to pay for your own mistakes." The queen walked up to Qi Xiu, leaned over and patted the middle-aged man's head.

At this moment, she finally felt like a mother.But she is only at this moment, like a mother.

Standing up straight again, she was still the wise and calm emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Not long after that, Qi Xiu was dismissed from his post, and his cronies were also demoted and dismissed. It was said that Qi Xiu embezzled public funds and caused huge losses to the national treasury.But inside, everyone knew why he was imprisoned.

The royal family taboos such things as brother-in-law killing, unless the person who kills people becomes the emperor, obviously, Qi Xiu does not have such luck.

This matter was a royal scandal, and it was also a knife on Qi Xiu's neck. The empress could not see him die, so she had to suppress the matter. But for Qi Xiu, losing the throne was actually the same as dying.

The news of Qi Lian's return to the empire could not be kept secret for long. Soon, the empire announced the news that the crown prince and the little princess were alive. Lian followed her and felt taught by seeing her series of operations.

Of course, Qi Lian also saw the counterattack from the Federation.

The explosion of the Pioneer was a disgrace to the Federation, but the Federation also knew that the premeditation was not solely created by the Federation. When the President of the Federation was determined to thoroughly investigate the murderer, he also obtained Qi Xiu's illicit relationship with the Federation. Evidence, it is okay for the empire to take a bite out of the federation through this matter, because the news of the murder of human heroes by the prince of the empire fornication is spread, even if the empire is also responsible, but the federation will definitely suffer even more shock.So the Federation can endure the empire's rip-offs, but it is impossible to give away such a fat piece of meat. They secretly said that the fig leaf belongs to everyone, and if they have to be lifted, they will make a fool of themselves together.

The things on the negotiating table of politicians are sometimes discussed in detail, but they are actually not much different from the bargaining in the vegetable market. Moreover, when necessary, a mature politician can definitely do better than those who are in the market. Uncles and aunts who spend a lot of money and talk about it for a long time are much more shameless.

Therefore, after the saw-saw between the two parties, the Federation lost some meat, and the Empire got stuck between its teeth, so this matter was over.

After Qi Xiu was imprisoned, Qi Lian went to see him once. At that time, Qi Lian had essentially recovered his status as the crown prince. After all, the third child was in the Federation, the eldest was imprisoned, and the remaining second child, experienced in Qi Lian's life. After such a dangerous thing and returning home with everyone's blessings, he could only avoid her sharpness temporarily.

This meeting was actually requested by Qi Xiu. He yelled at the place where he was imprisoned for many days, and there was only one thing every day, that is, he hoped to meet Qi Lian.

The Queen told Qi Lian about this matter, and handed over the choice to Qi Lian. Qi Lian took it and went to see Qi Xiu.

There is no hysteria of the loser, nor the rage of the murdered. After many years, the first meeting between the two brothers and sisters was actually spent in peace.

From the beginning to the end, Qi Xiu only asked Qi Lian one question: "If I didn't do anything this time, after you return to China, facing your crumbling throne, you will attack me and the second child just like I did to you in order to stabilize it." ?"

Qi Lian shook his head and said no.Qi Xiu didn't believe it and asked her to give a reason.

Qi Lian smiled softly: "I used to think that position was very important, because it was originally in my pocket, I just lost it because of a trick of fate, and I also thought about getting it back , I really wanted to. However, I didn't want it so much later, at least I didn't want it so much that I wanted to put you to death. My princess said that life is nothing more than eating and drinking, and I feel right. Met her Afterwards, there was fun in my world, it was not the fun that belonged to the crown prince that was instilled before, it was just some very simple and pure joy.”

"I don't want to be a cold-blooded animal that steps on my brother's bones, because my princess will definitely not want to see me become such a person, so I will take a gentler approach. At least, I won't take your lives."

Qi Lian said it very calmly, but after Qi Xiu heard it, he suddenly laughed sullenly, and stared at her sharply: "Xiao Wu, the mother is really right about you. In fact, you can't do it. Even without your princess as an excuse, you wouldn't be able to do that cruel thing."

Qi Lian looked at him with a smile: "It's hard to say. I have also killed many Zergs. Before my life is threatened, I am best at killing the opponent first."

She does not admit this.

If you don’t admit it, don’t admit it, Qi Xiu sneered, and leaned against the metal wall of the temporary prison: "Go away. Poor guy who fell in love. Before you leave, you'd better put the smile on your face away, lest anyone outside the door The guards will be disgusted when they see it."
