The best ring

Snap!

When Qi Kai came to the door of the eldest prince Zhao Xuan's palace, a teacup was thrown at him. Fortunately, Qi Kai reacted quickly and dodged in time. The teacup hit him next to him, startling him.

"Where are the people? Tell me, where are the people?" Zhao Xuan's voice came from the palace, with anger in his voice.

"The person...the person has not been found." A slightly trembling voice came.

"Trash, they are all trash!" Zhao Xuan roared: "If we still can't find anyone, I will chop off your heads!"

Then, Qi Kai saw several guards running out of Zhao Xuan's palace in a panic and with frightened faces.

Qi Kai's heart just pounded and he didn't know what happened.

"These princes are really strange. They were all fine yesterday, but today they all seem to be crazy. As expected, they are all descendants of the late emperor. They have really similar personalities."

Qi Kai murmured in his heart and continued walking forward.

Now that he's already here, he can't just turn around and leave.

After the briefing, Qi Kai saw Zhao Xuan again. At this moment, the anger on Zhao Xuan's face had not completely dissipated. His whole person was exuding evil spirits, and Zhao Xuan's eyes were also covered with bloodshot eyes. He must have not rested well. , the whole person's mental state is very poor.

Seeing Zhao Xuan's current state, Qi Kai sighed again in his heart:

The eldest prince and the third prince really look alike, they are indeed brothers.

"Qi Shangshu, why did you come to me?" Zhao Xuan softened his tone, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Qi Kai.

The anger in Zhao Xuan's heart naturally had nothing to do with Qi Kai, but because of Gu Lin.

Qi Kai's guess was good. Zhao Xuan did not have a good rest last night, and could even be said to have stayed up all night. All this was because of Gu Lin, because he sent people to search for him all night, but still could not find Gu Lin. Gu Lin It was as if he suddenly disappeared.

If it was just an ordinary staff member who disappeared, it would be impossible for Zhao Xuan to care as much as he does now, let alone stay up all night.

But Gu Lin was not an ordinary staff member, but his chief staff member. He knew many things about him, especially the murder of the late emperor. Gu Lin knew clearly that once Gu Lin told the outside world about it, especially the second prince and the Supporters of the third prince, then, he is finished, completely finished. Not only does he have no chance of ascending to the throne, he will even be imprisoned and even sentenced to death!

Therefore, Zhao Xuan had to be nervous, and Gu Lin had to be found. He could not feel at ease until Gu Lin was found.

"Your Highness, His Highness the Third Prince came to see me just now." Qi Kai said.

Qi Kai's words made Zhao Xuan feel nervous, and he quickly asked: "What is he looking for you for?"

Now Zhao Xuan is not only busy looking for Gu Lin, but also paying attention to Zhao Lun. After all, Zhao Lun has a will in his hand. If he cannot find strong evidence, Zhao Lun will be the one who ascends the throne. .

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan scolded Gu Lin in his heart again. If Gu Lin hadn't escaped unexpectedly, he wouldn't be distracted by it now and could concentrate on investigating the imperial edict. As a result, because of Gu Lin's matter, he couldn't do anything about it. There was not much thought left to investigate the imperial edict.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince requested that the enthronement ceremony be kept simple." Qi Kai said, "He wants to ascend the throne tomorrow!"

"What?!" Zhao Xuan stood up immediately after hearing this, his eyes widened: "Did you promise him?"

"Yes." Qi Kai said bravely.

"Why did you agree to him?! Ah!" Zhao Xuan said angrily.

Before he could investigate the true situation of the imperial edict, Zhao Lun was about to ascend the throne. Once he ascended the throne, he would not only have no chance to investigate the matter of the imperial edict, but he might also be targeted by Zhao Lun. By then, his life would be in danger. threatened.

If you want to prevent Zhao Lun from ascending the throne, you must prove that the edict in Zhao Lun's hands is false. Zhao Xuan firmly believes this, but it will take time to find evidence to prove that the edict is false. This is why he asked Qi Kai to try his best before. The reason for delaying Zhao Lun's accession to the throne.

Originally, Qi Kai had promised to delay for ten days, but now he suddenly said that Zhao Lun would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor tomorrow. How could Zhao Xuan not be surprised? How not to be angry?

Zhao Xuan's mood was already extremely bad because of Gu Lin's incident. As a result, Qi Kai actually brought them such bad news. His mood couldn't be worse. His wide eyes were full of It was so angry that he really wanted to devour Qi Kaisheng.

"Your Highness, calm down." Qi Kai said quickly: "I don't want to, but His Highness the Third Prince is determined to ascend the throne tomorrow. He has a will in his hand. I dare not disobey it. I hope Your Highness can understand."

Zhao Xuan was angry, which was expected by Qi Kai, but he was not afraid. Although he had promised to delay time, the premise was that he would not be implicated, but now Zhao Lun's attitude was quite firm. If he did not agree, he would be very angry. He might suffer revenge from Zhao Lun, or even Zhao Lun could bypass him and support other officials in the Ministry of Rites to hold the enthronement ceremony. If that happens, he will be finished.

Therefore, after weighing the situation, Qi Kai agreed to Zhao Lun's request.

As for Zhao Xuan being angry, Qi Kai naturally didn't want to see it, but in comparison, the consequences of Zhao Lun's anger were obviously more serious, so Qi Kai could only choose to obey Zhao Lun's orders.

Of course, because of the speculation about the will, Qi Kai did not dare to completely give up on Zhao Xuan, so he came to Zhao Xuan immediately after Zhao Lun left. He knew that Zhao Xuan would be angry and scold him, but he was not afraid, because Zhao Xuan was still just a prince, and he still needed to rely on him, so he would at most vent a few words and would not really tear his face with him.

Sure enough, after venting, Zhao Xuan quickly calmed down. Although the anger on his face did not completely dissipate, it was at least not as ferocious as before.

"Did he say what the reason was?" Zhao Xuan asked.

Zhao Lun, who was not in a hurry to ascend the throne, suddenly asked to ascend the throne tomorrow. If he said that nothing happened, Zhao Xuan would never believe it.

"He didn't say it." Qi Kai shook his head: "I asked the reason, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince said nothing, just asked to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

Zhao Xuan frowned. He knew that something must have happened to make his third brother so anxious, but he didn't know what happened, and Qi Kai didn't know either.

However, although he didn't know what happened, Zhao Xuan had already realized the seriousness of the matter. Once Zhao Lun succeeded in ascending the throne tomorrow, the overall situation would be completely settled, and his wish to become the emperor would be completely gone.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan had already made a decision in his heart:

We must not let Zhao Lun succeed in ascending the throne tomorrow!
