America's strong and miserable desire to destroy the world

It has been many years since the former empress passed away, and Xue Wunian, as the only legitimate son, was established as the heir apparent since childhood.

Since the royal family struggled so far, except for the princes who died young and were exiled, only the prince and the third prince remained in the capital.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talented and intelligent. Although he has some eccentricities, the veteran courtier still praises him full of praise.

At this time, hearing Wen Qiusheng's almost humiliating request, all the veterans turned black with anger.

If it wasn't for His Majesty standing by, they would have wished to point at Wen Qiusheng's spine and yell at him.

Empress?This kind of appellation can be said out loud!

In the silence where a needle could be heard, His Majesty laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha! Qiusheng is right," he nodded his chin slightly at Xue Wunian, "Wu Nian, this is a family feast, don't be too restrictive. Father and Emperor also pity you for losing your mother when you were young. Now Qiusheng is in the palace. Your elder is now, you can't even ask him to participate in the management of your marriage in the future, and it is also necessary to call the queen father."

In a few words, he looked like a loving father, but his playful eyes seemed to be not his son in front of him, but a plaything for entertainment.

Even Wen Qiusheng looked at His Majesty in surprise.

However, facing such a scene, the prince's expression did not change at all.As if everything around him was a thing outside of him, he lowered his head indifferently, "What the father said is true, the minister lost his etiquette before seeing the father, so it is no wonder that he still looks at the father."

It really hasn't changed at all, it's still this dead man's virtue.The amusement in His Majesty's eyes quickly dissipated, and he waved his hand irritably, not wanting to pay any attention to the Prince.

The banquet resumed lively, the sound of silk and bamboo came and went, and the hall was full of extravagance.

As soon as Wen Qiusheng's enthusiasm for teasing was over, he forgot about His Highness the Crown Prince, and instead had a lively chat with the young master.

"Qianqiu Pavilion? What is that place? It won't be the same as last time——"

The last time in Mingyue Tower, the young master was so drunk that he passed out, and when he woke up, he was filled with regret.He wanted to personally make amends, but Wen Qiusheng didn't leave the palace, so he could only send new treasures into the palace every day.

It's hard to meet each other for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, so of course we must seize the opportunity to invite them.

"Absolutely not!" Hou Mingzhi quickly explained, "Qianqiu Pavilion is a serious place, it can't be more serious. You know Guozijian, right? This Qianqiu Pavilion is where they often go. Let's talk about state affairs."

Wen Qiusheng glanced at him and wondered, "I can't tell that Young Master likes this kind of place."

Hou Mingzhi heard his insinuation, and couldn't help laughing, "If it wasn't because of the special circumstances, how could I have stepped into that kind of place? It's just—"

He glanced left and right, saw no one around, and whispered in Wen Qiusheng's ear, "You know the recent turmoil in the Imperial College, they organized a poetry competition to criticize the imperial court during this period I heard that the Poetry Competition will be held in Qianqiu Pavilion."

Criticize the court?This is to criticize him.Wen Qiusheng immediately became interested, "When will it be held?"

"It seems to be seven days later," Hou Mingzhi said with a playful smile, "How about it? Are you going? You are the protagonist, don't you want to join us?"

Wen Qiusheng knew what he was planning at a glance.

When the object of criticism appeared at the poetry competition, the expressions on the faces of those Guozijian students would definitely be very exciting.Young Lord Hou likes this kind of scene where he makes others unhappy.

However, he also likes it.

Wen Qiusheng raised his lips and smiled, "I'm afraid that the only ones talking nonsense are the two of us."

"Of course!" Hou Mingzhi looked proud, "We are a duo of overlords in the capital, and everyone who sees them has to respect and respect Master Sheng."

His intentionally exaggerated expression and movements made Wen Qiusheng laugh so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

When the banquet was in full swing, Wen Qiusheng hid alone in the back courtyard to sober up.The cool night wind was blowing in, and the heat on his face was finally relieved.

He narrowed his eyes comfortably.

At this time, Fang Jinpa was suddenly handed over.Wen Qiusheng turned his head and saw Guo Yushi standing behind him.

"Guo Yushi? What a fate."

The brocade handkerchief was soaked in water, and Wen Qiusheng felt it was still warm to the touch, so he couldn't help but look up at Guo Ziye.

This doesn't look like a random encounter.

The brocade handkerchief soaked in hot water was pasted on his cheeks, which made Wen Qiusheng's mind a little clearer.He suddenly remembered the accident that happened at the racecourse last time.

"How is Guo Yushi's arm? I haven't thanked Yushi properly for the accident last time."

I was going to bring medicine to visit, but I forgot all of it.

Guo Ziye had a gentle smile on his face, "It's been fine for a long time, thanks to the queen's concern. Protecting the queen is the duty of a courtier, so you don't have to worry about it."

Guo Ziye is the newly-appointed imperial censor and the only second disciple of Meng Taifu. He is highly respected among young officials for his integrity and never showing favoritism.But when it comes to matters related to Wen Qiusheng, his attitude is unpredictable.

The Yushitai is different from other administrative departments. Although the daily affairs are still managed by the chief censor, when it comes to impeachment, even the lowest-level officials enjoy the same freedom as the censor without going through the chief. agreed.

Since the establishment of the emperor, almost all the officials in Yushitai have protested, but the real person in charge, Guo Yushi, has remained silent and never expressed his personal views.

Wen Qiusheng couldn't help thinking of the figure in his dream who would rather be condemned by the world and protect him.Guo Ziye... Will it really turn out like that in the end?

"Queen, it's cool at night, let's go back to the house." Guo Ziye reminded at the right time.

Wen Qiusheng narrowed his eyes and sized him up, then suddenly approached him.Guo Ziye was unprepared, a faint fragrance broke into his nostrils, with a slightly teasing tone, like a willful invader.

"Sure enough, Guo Yushi is cuter when he calls me Mr. Wen."

He smiled and walked away, but the people left behind were disturbed by a pool of clear water, unable to recover for a long time.

As soon as Wen Qiusheng returned to the banquet and sat down, someone blocked his view.

"Is the queen dissatisfied with these courtiers?" The man in front of him was dressed in prince's clothes, with a handsome face, only a scar on the browbone of his right eye running across to the corner of his eye, which made his gentle expression also have an inexplicable ferocity.

Wen Qiusheng looked at him leisurely, smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that Qiu Sheng didn't answer, he was not annoyed, and continued: "They are all a bunch of old and stubborn people, clinging to old and rotten ideas. In the future, they will know what they can say and what they can't say."

"Really? Then you are smart. Now you know what to say and what not to say. You are worthy of being the third prince."

Wen Qiusheng pointed out the other party's identity, but there was no hint of respect in his tone.

The third prince was not annoyed, "As a subject, I should naturally share the worries of the emperor; as a son of man, I should obey the will of the emperor. Since the emperor wants to be the heir regardless of the opposition of the world, I will naturally obey the father." The emperor's will, not to mention...the empress is indeed a heavenly figure."

Wen Qiusheng laughed twice in an unclear tone, and suddenly told the people beside him, "Your Highness is indeed different from ordinary people, Qingyue, go and find some more sake, I'm going to have a drink with His Highness the Third Prince."

Qingyue glanced at the third prince, a little worried that her son would be bullied, "I will send someone to look for this slave."

"Don't worry, I'm in the Golden Luan Hall now, surrounded by people, how can I be bullied?" Wen Qiusheng said softly, "Qingyue went to find some sake bars by herself, I don't worry if someone else finds them."

Qingyue hesitated for a while, and finally said to the third prince with a warning tone, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered you to return to the palace in half an hour. If you can't see you in time, Your Majesty will be angry."

The third prince waved his hand, "Okay, can I still kidnap people?"

After Qingyue left, the third prince was still admiring, "The little girl taught by the commander of the imperial guards is different. Father really loves the queen so much that he even sent her to your side."

Wen Qiusheng snorted softly, "Everyone is gone, stop pretending."

The third prince's gentle expression brought some doubts, "What does the empress mean?"

"You chose to come to me at this time, didn't you just want to tell me something?" Wen Qiusheng said lazily, "If you don't tell me clearly, I won't accompany you."

The banquet is not over yet, His Majesty has already left early due to important matters, and now His Majesty's eyeliner, Qingyue, has also been distracted by Wen Qiusheng, if the Third Prince wants to convey some information secretly, this is the best time.

Sure enough, the third prince finally stopped pretending, and he smiled slightly, "It seems that the queen is also a smart person, so I'll say it straight to the point. The assassination should have worried the queen for a long time, right? Now the murderer has been arrested. Prison, but queen, do you think you can really rest easy here?"

At this point, the third prince lowered his voice, "Who are those murderers working for? The queen must have heard what they said before they died. It is said that someone is not good at employing people, but to get to the bottom of it... the queen doesn't think all of this is true. Is it all too coincidental?"

Wen Qiusheng nodded seriously, "Yes, what a coincidence."

"Ever since the death of the crown prince's biological mother, the father has never established a queen, and now the queen's position can be regarded as completely opposite to the crown prince. So...the queen may wish to consider cooperating with me, so that there will be a way to deal with the crown prince in the future. helper."

Wen Qiusheng said slowly, and suddenly smiled, "I understand, you want to be the prince, and you want to cooperate with me to bring the prince down."

The third prince paused, "Queen, you are really straightforward."

"What's the so-called thing? People are greedy. It's nothing more than normal."

"So, queen—" The third prince glanced at Wen Qiusheng's indifferent expression, and suddenly changed his tone of inquiry, "I hope the queen will think more about it, after all, let someone who has a grudge against you sit on the prince's seat. There are countless dangers in the future, and if the crown prince ascends the throne many years later, you know what will happen to you, the empress."

Wen Qiusheng thought to himself, I don't know what will happen to me after the prince ascends the throne, but if you become the prince, I can't know what will happen to me.

You two, neither of you wants to be emperor.

So he said indifferently with an unexpected expression, "Has the Third Prince finished speaking? Let's leave after finishing."

The third prince wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly felt a chill behind him, and a short dagger brushed his ear and stabbed at Wen Qiusheng!

Instinctively, he felt cool all over his body, but when he saw Qiu Sheng holding the wine cup, his expression didn't change.
