Chapter 204 Panting
Chapter 204 Panting
No one talks about the second prince anymore.
After all, the second prince has no advantage here at all. He is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest. The middle child suffers the most.
As they were arguing, urgent news arrived at the palace from the northwest.
The eldest prince encountered robbers on his way back and disappeared!
Upon hearing the news, the court was in an uproar.
"This is definitely not an accident. The eldest prince must have been murdered by a traitor!"
"The robbers are so arrogant that they dare to kidnap our prince!"
"..."
After a commotion, the Grand Master said, "The immediate plan is to quickly find the eldest prince!"
The Prime Minister asked, "Who should go? They dared to rob the prince, so these robbers must be lawless."
The Grand Master said, "The prince is missing because the Ministry of War failed to provide adequate escort. This is something that should be resolved by the Ministry of War."
All the ministers looked at Jing Qishan.
Jing Qishan smiled faintly: "If all my colleagues think that I am to blame for this matter? Then I have nothing to say. I will go back and arrange for someone to look for the eldest prince."
Seeing Jing Qishan's attitude of not caring about this matter, the Grand Master could not help but scold Jing Qishan: "The missing person is a prince of our dynasty, and a prince who has made great contributions. Minister Jing doesn't care at all and even arranged for his men to look for him. I think that the matter of the missing prince should be left to Minister Jing to look for him personally."
Jing Qishan looked surprised: "Grandmaster, do you mean that I should go there in person?"
"Is it that difficult? Could it be that Minister Jing is reluctant to part with that singing girl? If so, I will immediately order the closure of Liulefang and have that singing girl brought out and executed!"
Jing Qishan finally got nervous this time: "Grandmaster, please show mercy."
"Then would you like to go find someone?"
Jing Qishan's expression clearly showed reluctance. After a while, he said, "I am willing!"
……
As soon as the court was dismissed, Jing Qishan went straight to Liu Lefang.
When the ministers saw this, they all said that he should be more affectionate with Dong Qiqi.
Sure enough, Jing Qishan stayed in Liulefang for another night and returned to the Ministry of War the next morning to plan how to find the eldest prince.
When he came back, he brought Dong Qiqi with him.
He was obviously going to take Dong Qiqi on the road.
This action shocked everyone in the room!
How can he feel at ease to go find the Crown Prince with a prostitute in tow? Jing Qishan's trip should be for pleasure and sightseeing, right?
Otherwise, why didn't he take his young daughter with him?
……
Only Prime Minister Sun was the happiest about this.
Jing Qishan was indeed completely infatuated with Dong Qiqi!
He sent someone to tell Dong Qiqi to report back Jing Qishan's every move outside by carrier pigeon.
……
The news reached the palace.
Li Yujiao felt so heartbroken that she couldn't help but cover her chest.
I originally thought that it was enough for Jing Qishan to go to Liulefang to have fun, but I didn't expect that he would bring Dong Qiqi with him to carry out the mission.
He really loves Dong Qiqi terribly!
She had never felt so cold-hearted.
It turns out that this is what happens when a man changes his mind!
At the same time, she was worried about her daughter who was alone at home.
My mother is under house arrest in the palace, and my father is having fun with other women. Can little Huaning be taken care of?
Although Nanny Zhang and Li Zhongping are here, they will definitely be able to satisfy her food and clothing, but what should she do if little Huaning misses her mother?
Thinking of this, Li Yujiao couldn't help but burst into tears.
When feeding the old emperor medicine, he also spilled the medicine on his body.
She quickly wiped it for the old emperor.
The old emperor didn't feel anything at all and called her again: "Xiao Fuzi."
Li Yujiao couldn't help but feel a sour nose again. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of my curing your illness, when you get better, please allow Jing Qishan and I to divorce. I just want a daughter."
The old emperor: "Xiao Fuzi!"
"Oh, you must get better."
If it weren't for the Grand Tutor's support, the Third Prince should have ascended the throne already, right?
……
Jing Qishan went to the northwest in a carriage, with four horses pulling a luxurious carriage.
The carriage is not only large, but also covered with goose down blankets.
Jing Qishan placed some fine wine inside, and he and Dong Qiqi enjoyed it leisurely.
Jing Qishan said: "Miss Qiqi, the journey to the northwest is long, thank you for your hard work."
Dong Qiqi looked very sensible: "Master Jing, you don't have to say that. It is my honor to be able to share your worries."
Jing Qishan said: "Just treat it as a trip to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
"In fact, I have long wanted to visit places outside the capital."
Jing Qishan nodded: "It's a good thing to go out more often."
Dong Qiqi poured wine for Jing Qishan again.
After Jing Qishan drank the wine, he lay down and Dong Qiqi rubbed his legs.
After rubbing for a while, Jing Qishan became silent, obviously he had fallen asleep.
Dong Qiqi took out a book from the box and started reading.
This is a collection of poems written by a poet living on the border. The poem goes like this: I’ve worn my golden armor through a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and I’ll never return until I have conquered Loulan. As I read this, I started to cry.
Jing Qishan opened his eyes and glanced at her.
……
At night, they rested at the post station.
Jing Qishan still lives in the same room with Dong Qiqi.
Before going to bed, Jing Qishan asked Dong Qiqi to play a piece of "Yangchun Baixue" for him.
When people outside listen to this music, they can associate it with the sweetness contained in it.
After one song, Dong Qiqi's moans were heard.
After a while, everything calmed down.
In the middle of the night, Jing Qishan's door opened, Dong Qiqi came out and handed a letter to a dark shadow outside the door.
That was a letter she wrote about Jing Qishan's every move.
"Jing Qishan has no intention of looking for someone, and he spends his days having fun with me..."
Two days later, the letter reached Prime Minister Sun, who was extremely satisfied.
……
Before I knew it, another month had passed.
The old emperor's left side became more and more flexible, and he could already stand up on his own, but his mind was still unclear.
Li Yujiao knew that patients who had suffered a stroke would have such symptoms, but the old emperor could only call him "Xiao Fuzi" every day, which was really strange.
In the court, the Grand Tutor's party can no longer hold on.
More and more people are on the prime minister's side, saying that a crown prince must be appointed.
They supported the Queen to support the Third Prince in ruling the country.
The Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister were arguing again, but fewer and fewer people supported the Grand Tutor.
On this day, Li Yujiao was serving the old emperor in the palace.
The queen came again, with several ministers.
The Grand Tutor, the Prime Minister, and several leaders of the Cabinet and the Grand Council were all there.
Li Yujiao quickly stepped aside.
The ministers first paid their respects to the emperor, and then gathered around the old emperor to start a discussion.
The prime minister pointed at the old emperor on the bed and said, "Look at your Majesty. He is not even as good as a one-year-old child. Do you still expect him to recover and run the government?"
The Grand Tutor had only been here a few times before, and now looking at the old emperor's appearance, he felt somewhat helpless: "Although this is the case, what if His Majesty can recover?"
"How many years will that take? There is no one to take care of the government affairs now. If the Grand Tutor still insists on his own opinion and delays the country, can you bear the responsibility?"
