Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

However, Ah Da held a sword and escorted Qi Qingqing into the carriage to go to the East Palace.

Qi Qingqing has been encouraging Ada to betray Qi Qingxi and join her camp all the way, and she will definitely treat him with high officials and generous salaries.

Ah Da has been with Qi Qingxi for such a long time, how could he not know the virtues of the prince and the concubine, especially the concubine, who has done more than anything to destroy bridges across rivers.

Not to mention that the current master's family treated him well and he was very satisfied. Even if he didn't like the current master's family, he would never consider this concubine Qi.

Ah Da just pretended that he couldn't hear her words, and just maintained the posture of holding the sword on Qi Qingqing's neck all the way, without saying a word.

Qi Qingqing was very angry with him, thinking to herself that she was careless today. When she arrived at the East Palace later, she would kill Qi Qingxi, the guard, and let out a bad breath first.

The carriage going to the East Palace traveled very quickly. Even though there was a large group of soldiers following on foot and deliberately slowed down, it didn't take long to reach the gate of the East Palace.

Qi Qingqing heard a sound of "clinking" outside. She was about to open the curtain to check, but Ah Da tightened the sword in her hand. Qi Qingqing was afraid that the sword would hurt herself, so she had to retract her hand bitterly.

But Ah Da opened the curtain and looked outside. Qi Qingqing wanted to take the opportunity to look outside to see what was going on, but Ah Da lowered the curtain with a wave of his hand and withdrew the long sword on Qi Qingqing's neck.

Ah Da jumped out of the carriage first, nodded to each other with the guard in front of the door, and then shouted into the carriage: "Concubine, please get out of the carriage."

Qi Qingqing smiled contemptuously: "Are you afraid now? It's too late!"

She straightened her clothes and stepped out of the carriage proudly. After seeing clearly the situation in front of the East Palace gate, she felt a little panicked.

The soldiers she brought with her were all disarmed, and the guard standing in front of the door was not the guard beside the prince she knew.

She pretended to be calm and bluffed angrily at the guard: "You are so brave, how dare you unload the weapons of my soldiers!"

Before the guard could speak, a woman dressed as a maid cautiously poked her head out from inside the gate and shouted to Qi Qingqing in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something big has happened in the house, please come here first."

Qi Qingqing glanced at the maid impatiently, thinking that something was really wrong with her, otherwise she would have to be skinned.

She rolled her eyes at the guard in front of the door and walked in: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

"Your Majesty." The maid came forward and whispered in her ear, "My Majesty, for some reason there was a fire in the Crown Princess's courtyard."

Qi Qingqing grinned as if he was gloating: "There was really a fire? What about her? How is she?"

The maid shook her head: "His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun was also in the Crown Princess's courtyard at that time, and neither the mother nor the son were rescued."

Qi Qingqing was stunned for a moment when she heard the news, and then burst into laughter. Her two biggest obstacles in the East Palace disappeared so effortlessly.

"Hahahahahahaha...God is helping me." She didn't have time to think about the guards in front of the door, and ordered the maid, "Lead the way, I want to see with my own eyes what will happen to these two people."

At this moment, the fire in the princess's courtyard had just been extinguished, and the courtyard was in a mess.

There were two burnt-black corpses placed in the courtyard. From the remains of clothing and jewelry on the corpses, one could vaguely identify their identities. Who could they be if they were not the Crown Princess and the Emperor's grandson?

When Qi Qingqing arrived, the courtyard was filled with the prince's wives, concubines, and children. She tried her best to suppress the raised corners of her mouth, showed a look of sadness with difficulty, took out her handkerchief and pretended to wipe away tears as she walked into the courtyard.

Now that the Crown Princess is gone, she has naturally become the most effective person to speak in the East Palace: "No one wants to see the Crown Princess and the Emperor's grandson suffer this misfortune, but the matter has come to an end. The coffins have been brought over to put the bodies in place for the time being. , I will make other plans after His Highness comes back."

However, no one in the East Palace, including Qi Qingqing, could see the prince again.

Prince Li Qiming thought that everything was under his control, so he led a large number of troops into the palace easily.

After entering the palace, the first target was naturally Emperor Qitai. Since King Jin was not in the palace after the court, it would not be too late to wait for him to finish things with his father before dealing with King Jin.

He held a long sword in his hand and led his troops straight to the annex where Emperor Qitai was refining alchemy. On the way, several guards and chamberlains who tried to block his way were killed by his sword with his own hands.

Except for the few people blocking the road, the journey to the Alchemy Courtyard was smooth.

Li Qiming stood under the main hall, looking up at the alchemy room door, and couldn't hide his excitement. Finally, he was only one step away from the supreme position.

He tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips and shouted towards the door of the alchemy room: "My son, Li Qiming, wants to see my father."

He stood quietly for a long time, but there was no movement in the palace, so he shouted louder again: "My son, Li Qiming, wants to see my father."

There was still no movement in the hall. Just as Li Qiming was about to speak again, the door creaked open a crack. Li Dequan leaned out half of his body from the crack and made a hissing gesture to Li Qiming.

"Oh my prince, your majesty has just gone to bed. You said you wouldn't come later if you didn't come earlier."

Li Qiming sneered: "Do I need to find time to come here? Do you think I am a guest?"

Li Dequan said in a good voice: "Your Majesty has rested now. Your Majesty, please go back to the East Palace first. If you have anything to do, it's not too late to come to discuss it with Your Majesty at dawn."

Li Qiming snorted coldly: "Since I have chosen to come here now, there is no possibility of turning back, so please trouble Eunuch Li to help me inform you that your Majesty is surrounded by sycophants, and I am here to quell you..."

Before Li Qiming uttered the word "side", Li Dequan shouted in a low voice: "Oh, my highness, please don't talk nonsense. Just listen to my advice and go back to the palace first. Everything still needs to be discussed."

Li Qiming's face suddenly turned ugly. He raised his sword and pointed it at Li Dequan: "I said that now that I'm here, there is no possibility of turning back. If you don't want to report it, don't blame me for being ruthless. .”

Li Dequan deeply felt that Emperor Qitai gave him a job that was harder than Coptis.

What he said was that he was not surprised at how the prince escaped from the East Palace. Secondly, he had made it so obvious that the emperor meant that as long as the prince returned to the East Palace now, everything could be ignored. However, the prince was I can't understand even half a word.

Is it possible that he wants to directly say that the emperor already knows about your rebellion, and as long as you are willing to put down your sword and continue to return to the East Palace to be locked up, the emperor can forget about it?
