The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

The next day, in the morning, at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhao Qi left the morning court and returned to the palace.

As soon as he sat down, a guard came to report that it was the third prince asking to see him.

A look of complexity flashed across Zhao Qi's eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he still nodded and said:

"pass."

Not long after, a figure came in, knelt down to Zhao Qi and said, "I pay homage to my father."

It was Zhao He.

"Get up." Zhao Qi glanced at him and asked calmly, "Yesterday you didn't return all night, where did you go?"

Zhao He said hastily: "My son pleads guilty to my father! I also ask my father to punish me."

"Oh? Why are you guilty?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Yesterday, Erchen and Concubine Jin'an went out to pray for Buddha. Unexpectedly, they got separated from the concubine. I sent guards to search for the whole night, but could not find the concubine. I also asked my father to forgive me. " Zhao He said.

Yesterday, after they left Jia's mansion, they planned to go to Yunling Temple outside the city to offer incense because Concubine Jin'an believed in Buddhism.

But also on the way, they were attacked.

Therefore, it is reasonable for him to say so.

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You bastard! How could such a big man get lost? Could it be that you are all blind!"

Zhao He bowed his head, just begging for mercy, without speaking.

"Enough, send more people, we must find the concubine!" Zhao Qi shouted.

Zhao He nodded, and took out a letter from his bosom: "By the way, Father, I found a letter in the concubine's sedan chair, but I don't know what it means. In this letter, Maybe it's because the concubine is missing."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head so that Zhao Qi would not see his gaze.

This letter is the means to poison Zhao Qi. The paper inside the envelope is smeared with poison. As long as Zhao Qi is opened, Zhao Qi will be poisoned. The toxin will take effect after one month. At that time, Zhao Qi will bleed to death from all seven orifices. .

In fact, he also knew that once Zhao Qi was poisoned, the situation might get out of control.

However, he is highly poisoned, and if he doesn't do this, he will die instantly.

More importantly, the other party promised him that as long as Zhao Qi died, he would be promoted to the top.

This is an irresistible temptation for him.

One side is immediate death, while the other side is the possibility of ascending to heaven in one step.

How to choose, he hardly thinks about it. It is his dream to rule the world.

"I've read too many memorials, my eyes are dazzled, you can read it to me." Zhao Qi looked at him and said lightly.

Zhao He was taken aback for a moment, he never expected that Zhao Qi would say such a thing.

How to do?
He panicked immediately.

"Huh? What? Why don't you read it?" Zhao Qi looked at him.

"My son..." Zhao He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond.

"But what's wrong?" Zhao Qi took a deep look at him, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

He is giving Zhao He a chance, giving him one last chance to tell the truth and redeem himself.

This is the last trace of tolerance he gave his son as a father.

"No, it's just that I don't understand what's written in this letter. I'd better ask Father to read it." Zhao He said hastily, unaware that he had lost his last chance.

The light in Zhao Qi's eyes dimmed when he heard this, and he leaned on the dragon chair without saying a word.

Zhao He was stunned, and looked at Zhao Qi in a state of bewilderment. He didn't understand why Zhao Qi had such an expression.

The two of them were in a stalemate, and the hall fell into an eerie silence.

After a long time, Zhao Qi suddenly closed his eyes and asked faintly:

"Are you looking forward to my death so much?"

Hearing the words, Zhao He was struck by lightning, his whole body trembled, and he said stutteringly:
"Father, my son, my son dare not!"

"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?" Zhao Qi laughed lightly, "In your eyes, I am inhumane and useless as a father!"

These words made Zhao He's complexion change terribly, he was sure at this moment that Zhao Qiding definitely knew about his plot.

He cried and kowtowed continuously: "Father, I know my mistake, and my body is very poisonous. They only said that if my father reads this letter, they will detoxify my son! Those words are also for my son's sake." Save your life, what you just said against your will!"

Zhao Qi looked at him with extremely indifferent eyes: "That's right, you are poisoned, and you will take my life to kill you. You are right."

"Father, my son has no intention of murdering me!" Zhao He cried loudly, "They are the ones who persecuted my son!"

Zhao Qi looked at him with cold eyes: "Who are they?"

Zhao He was taken aback, and quickly said: "It's Jia Jue's people! After I left Jia's mansion, they sent people to attack my son, and then forced me to do this treasonous act."

This was something they had discussed in advance, and if things went wrong, the disaster would be directly directed at Jia Jue.

Zhao Qi glanced at Zhao He, his eyes were as cold as ice, he waved his hand, and said lightly:

"Kneel down."

Zhao Qi's attitude made Zhao He's heart tremble, he didn't dare to say any more, and immediately stood up, planning to leave.

But when he just stood up, he suddenly felt something coming out of his nose. He reached out to wipe it away, but what caught his eye was a dazzling red.

is blood!

"Why is that so?" Zhao He murmured.

But after the words fell, he fell to his knees on the ground involuntarily, and a lot of blood spewed out of his mouth.

"Prince Physician! Send it to the Physician!" Zhao Qi roared angrily when he saw this.

At this moment, he finally understood the other party's intentions, it didn't matter if he could be killed or not, what Zhao Zheng wanted was to let him watch his son die in front of his eyes, but he was helpless.

What the other party wanted was for their father and son to kill each other!
"Bastard! You bastard!" Zhao Qi roared in grief and indignation.

"Father..." Zhao He knelt down on the ground, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Qi with difficulty, "Help, save me..."

Seeing this, Zhao Qi was inexplicably sad and indignant: "Be patient, the imperial doctor will be here soon."

"Save..." Zhao He's whole body trembled suddenly, his raised arm fell down feebly, and his whole body also slowly fell forward.

"He'er!" Zhao Qi called out sadly!
However, Zhao He was silent.

"Bastard!" Zhao Qi was furious, his eyes were red, he overturned the table and smashed the decorations in the hall.

But this couldn't vent the anger in his heart, he roared:

"Come on!"

"Your Majesty!" Liu Tian hurriedly responded in a panic.

"Send troops to slaughter Prince Qing's Mansion, leaving no one behind!" Zhao Qili shouted.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Tian trembled all over, and quickly wanted to dissuade him. After all, he directly wiped out the entire family of an old prince without any evidence, and neither the clan nor the courtiers would allow it.

"I don't want to say it a second time!" Zhao Qi looked at Liu Tian with a ferocious face.

Liu Tian trembled all over his body, he didn't dare to say another word, and hurriedly backed out.
