I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man
Chapter 62: Succession
Huo Xiaoxian slowly stepped into the next room, where seven or eight palace women were surrounded by a tall figure.
There are also cup dishes on the ground, which have been crushed by pushing and clashing.
These two wild Faithful are well prepared, even the drinks are ready. After eating and laughing, we'll have a good night together, right?
Sister Hu's cheeks twisted and her anger almost erupted.
Looking up at that handsome and extraordinary prince, she shouted: “Oh my, isn't this Prince Jun? How did you end up here drinking and having fun when you stopped serving in the Emperor's office today? ”
The opposite party had not yet replied, suddenly there was another noise downstairs. The two palace women entered Feifeng with incense cases and other objects. They suddenly saw a group of people in the attic, which had always been cold, and the two palace women stopped in fright.
“Prince Chun" quickly walked to the attic armrest, standing high and greeting: “Come on up. ”
Sounds crisp and gentle, with the feminine softness.
Sister Hu suddenly opened her eyes. This sound...
Princess Qin Qin took off her cape and smiled. “Who did Nanny Hu just call? ”
Sister Hu took a step back. Her eyes swept through a faint face of Huo Jianxian. She swept through Qin Qing, who kept smiling. Her face flashed: “This...”
By order of the master, the two housewives took things up the stairs.
Cher looked at Sister Hu with astonishment and looked at her master again, hesitating to ask: "Princess, we are not praying for blessings tonight... Oops, who has dispersed all the drinks ready to go to prayer for blessings! This is a prayer for the Emperor! ”
Sister Hu's heart sank.

Too slight a palace.
Chino slowly walked along the corridor.
This is the longest place he's lived, full of unspeakable memories.
The palace has been closed since they left because the emperor now has few princesses and no children under his knees. The sweeping palace people are willing to clean up day after day.
Standing in front of the door of your own bedroom, even though you've only been away for a year, the whole palace has grown strange, like the one who once lived here.
Li Wan seemed to have more emotion behind him. He glanced at the window. "The bearings on this window stand were actually repaired. Oops, the slave had only spoken to the Ministry of the Interior a few times before. It was not satisfactory to repair, and it was imprecise after less than two days of use. Is this a new one? ”
Chino laughed. Once the Cintiq arrived, the palaces were naturally renovated and awaited the arrival of new arrivals.
The two walked all the way, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar pavilion of Tingtai, Li Wan's stunning product was judged from time to time.
He walked to the middle loft and suddenly there was a noise coming from a distance.
“Why is the Phoenix Palace suddenly lit up?” Li Wan looked at the distance with confusion, and no one had used it for several years since Jingyao Emperor fell ill.
Chino stood in the hallway, laughing: "Perhaps there are palace people busy in there. ”
After receiving Huo's summons, he realized there was a problem and immediately contacted Qin Xiao to arrange the bureau. And the one who helps to contact you is the chess pieces in the palace placed by the Pei family. In fact, before his visit to the palace, Cao Qi gave him a list of people who could contact for help. This power surprised Qin Noh secretly. He was well aware that Pei Bao could not give himself the full list, but it was also surprising enough to put so many people under the eyes of Queen Huo.
Standing in a secluded corridor, the hustle and bustle of Feifeng's palace is gradually expanding.
“Brother Nine!” A sudden call came from behind.
Qin Noh turned around and looked over. It was Qin Ze who came this way.
Walking to the corridor, Qin Zewei promptly indicated, and the palace followers immediately stopped.
Meanwhile, Li Wan bowed back and left the silent space for the brothers.
“It's not a good night to rest. Why are you in the mood to swim again?” Qino asked with a smile.
“Ha, Jiu, aren't you the same, or are you here for something else?” Qin Ze stood beside him, looking at the palace where the two brothers once lived, and his eyebrows filled with memories.
Chino glanced at him, “What do you want to explore? ”
Qin Ze lowered his smile and lifted his chin in the direction of Feifeng's Palace. “It just feels like it's a good show over there. Don't you want to see it? ”
“Why, look at it or not, it's the same thing.” Chino shrugged.
“Also, if the layout people already have bamboo, why do they have to see the results with their own eyes?” Qin Ze smiled.
Chino snorted coldly: “I walked in this palace frightened, unlike you, and someone guarded the flight.” Can you fake Huo's handwriting with such precision and mobilize the palace people of the Qian Yuan Palace? Most of the scene is led by the Huo family?
Qin Ze laughed bitterly: “Brother Jiu, don't laugh at me, maybe tomorrow the person who enters the Bureau will replace me. ”
Qin Noh shrugged, this twist really doesn't look like a disguise.
Tonight's layout, wasn't it arranged by the Huo family to pave the way for him, to cut himself off as a roadblock in advance?
Qin Ze stared at Fengfeng's palace, which was bright with lights, and continued: “Did you know that Jiu Over the past few days, Queen Huo has continuously summoned the Princess of Ruishin, the Princess of Rongxian, and several other parishioners' wives into the palace, giving them generosity and intimacy.” He turned his head and looked at Chino, his eyes burning.
The Princess of Ruizhou? The Princess of Rongxian? Qin Noh was surprised. Qin Ze said that these county kings were originally only the national principality, or after the fall of the parish, the New Year's Festival Qin Chung and the Garn parish were only sealed as county kings. In blood, they are already far from the authentic royal family today. But these county kings have one thing in common: they have young children beneath their knees.
At that moment, Chino understood what Queen Huo thought.
Queen Huo wants to pass away! Instead of picking one out of the two.
No wonder we met in the bedroom of Qianyuan Palace these past few days. Queen Huo looked at both of them in a strange way, carrying a cold strand.
Just... does this mean Queen Huo, or does the Huo family mean?
Look at Qin Ze's slightly ridiculous lips. It was Queen Huo's own idea!
If you think about it, you can understand. Qin Chung was her only bone blood. All the mothers in the world cared for their children like this. I couldn't help but give him the best. Since Qin Chung can no longer have children, then give him one to inherit, and he can inherit incense fire in the future.
And if the brothers and brothers and, in the future, the royal inheritance will become the pulse of Qin Noh or Qin Ze, and it is the grandfather Jingyao Emperor who offers filial piety. Qin Chung, this brother, has only been in office for a short year, and it is a little embarrassing to be caught in the middle.
Queen Huo's thoughts are normal, but... the Huo family cannot agree, because the etiquette is not allowed!
Beyond this, especially in relation to the inheritance of the throne, unlike folk incense, it is strictly about blood ceremonies. If some of Qin Noh's brothers in their lifetime have children, it makes sense to pass them on to Qin Chung. Even the Anwang generation, Jingyao Emperor's biological brothers, have suitable grandchildren. Qin Chung has passed the son of his stepchildren and can barely make sense. But now, after Qin Jian's massacre, the Great Zhou Royal Family is depleted. Within three generations of close relatives, boys of appropriate age could not be found.
Outside of the third generation, although there is a choice, the blood line is too far away, and neither the minister nor the ministry can agree. Especially when there are two royal candidates. So, Queen Huo, this is a fantasy... even if the Huo family is in power, they can't blatantly risk the world.
Queen Huo, is there a crack between you and the Huo family?
Queen Huo's position today is to want to kill them both indiscriminately! Of course, I'm a little weaker, and Huo Xiaokang is a brilliant target, so let's do it first!
With this in mind, Qin Noh took a complex look at Qin Ze. Actually, he doesn't have to tell himself that.
Looking away at the dark sunset moon lake, Qin Ze suddenly said: “Brother Jiu, have you ever thought about it? In fact, one of us, if we climb to that position, is just a puppet of the Huo or Pei family. ”
“He is the emperor, he has half the blood of the Huo family, and his heart is generous. At the end of the day, he is just a piece of chess arranged by anyone. He is caught in the ambitions of these people, and he is pinched and marched forward. ”
“Such a throne, is it interesting? ”
Qin Ze's voice was as bleak as the night when he couldn't see his head.
Chino rubbed his nose. Qin Ze, is this an expression of restraint towards the Huo family? Junior, you haven't crossed the river yet, you're just trying to tear down the bridge. That's not fair!
“Aren't you afraid I'll leak this to them in the Book of Hawthorne?” Qin Noh turned away slightly, smiling.
“I still know a little about Nine Brothers.” Qin Ze turned his head and smiled. “Don't you have any concern for Pei? ”
“Not only does he have the right to take charge of the army, but he also hates the Qin clan! ”
Chino didn't answer.
Qin Ze looked deeply at him and finally said: "Jiu, that position, don't argue with me, okay?” The clear voice was full of obsession, but it accidentally brought with it a simple plea.
“It's impossible.” Qin Noh categorically refused and his eyes were firm.
Qin Ze's eyes flashed a glimmer of disappointment. “I see. I won't say that again. ”
Speaking of which, there is no need to continue.
Chino turned around and left.
Qin Ze closed his eyes and when he opened them again, his brother had lost his trace.
He stood alone in the hallway, and the wind gradually cooled at night. The palace people who accompanied him finally couldn't help but come forward and whisper, "Your Highness, let's go back. ”
Qin Zeru woke up at the beginning of his dream and stepped down the corridor. Finally, he looked back at the palace, which was too slight to be in the dark, and smiled silently.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Qin Noh returned to the Qian Yuan Hall.
Before dawn, it was the darkest time of the day. In such a quiet moment, the diligent palace people are tired and trapped.
Qino's footsteps eased, advanced to the palace, a strong drug flavor poured nose, since the Emperor was seriously ill, the dispensing compartment has been changed here.
An executive eunuch in a brown robe is checking today's dosage. Hearing Qin Noh come in, he turned to salute: “Prince Chun. ”
Qin Noh nodded: “Thank you very much for today.” He is one of Pei Pu's people in the palace. If the list is not sure, Qin Noh is incredible. Even Pei Pu is one of the emperor's administrative eunuchs and has the ability to intervene.
Wan Yi in front of him is one of the eight chief executive eunuchs of Ganyuan Palace. Although he only manages the unsightly cleaning of the palace, he is also a famous person in front of the emperor.
After receiving Huo's summons, he suspected that it was a forgery, and entrusted Wan Yi Dynasty to contact Qin Yi and Huo Xiao Dynasty to help arrange this bureau.
“If you don't dare to be a prince, the prince is still careful.” Wan Yi, in his thirties, had a certain rigidity in his face, except for his sharp voice, he looked more like a reader who was about to write a pen from Jun. Words, though respectful, are also a reminder that Qin Noh is fine and that he should not be contacted.
“Just come and take care of the medicines the brothers are taking today.” Chino laughed, and there were a few young eunuchs in the corner of the room packing the medicine, far from here.
Simple conversation, Qin Noh turned away from the temple of deviation. In the main palace, the emperor was still asleep, and a few of the night's eunuchs waited in the corner to see Qin Noh come in and perform his salute in a dull manner.
Chino's voice was very low: "How was your brother sleeping tonight? ”
“The emperor has rested, nothing unusual.” The Superintendent whispered back. Qin Chung has been sleeping longer and longer these days. Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether he is in a coma or sleeping. Be slightly sober only when taking your medication during the day.
Chino walked to the bed and lost his mind for a while. This sense of loss is clearer than the days of Jingyao Emperor lying here. Perhaps younger lives pass away and nature makes people feel more empathetic.
Looking at today is nothing, Qin Noh turns around and is ready to leave. Suddenly I heard a slight cry behind me, "Is it Jiu? ”
