Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

This time Qi You returned to Jirong in secret, and it was not appropriate to expose himself.

While secretly arranging plans to deal with the imperial court, he focused most of his energy on getting along with his own princess and little daughter.

On this day, because of business, Cao Mi took Qi Ran to the newly established business association in the outer city, and Qi You accompanied the little girl by himself.

Qi San happened to come over to report the recent affairs, and Qi You wanted to leave by himself for a while.

But his "consultation" with the little girl was vetoed by his little daughter.

"No!" The little lady of the palace threw away the toy in her arms and crawled on him with her hands and feet.

If King Bei'an spends more time with his little daughter, he will know that this is just her usual trick——

When there is no one else around, even if she has to leave, she will try her best to keep it!

But it was clear that Qi You, who felt guilty for being absent for a year, would not refuse such a not-so-excessive request from his little daughter at this time.

So he simply put on the little girl and went to the study together.

However, the King of Bei'an obviously also kept an eye on it, and before leaving, he brought the little girl's favorite flower ball with him.

So when Qi San heard the door opening and bowed his hands to salute, he saw Qi You put the little daughter of the palace on a Jinyun pattern Taishi chair and coaxed him with a flower ball: "Daddy talk to Qi San, please be quiet. some?"

The little girl raised her head and glanced at her father, gave Qi San another look, took the flower ball and started playing.

Qi You took it as if she agreed.

After returning to the desk, he sat down and asked, "How are things going?"

"It's all arranged." Hearing his master's words, Qi San finally came back to his senses.

He thought about it for a while, and then reported in order: "My subordinates have sent a letter to Cangcheng, asking the steward to turn the business that Hou Ye has set up in various places to dark, carefully hide it, and wait for the follow-up order.

"The previous letter to General Chen He has also been followed up. I received a reply from General Chen last night, saying in the letter that he has adopted the method of the prince, and it will take at most two months to break the situation in Minzhou.

"In addition, regarding the arrangement of covering up the transaction between the prince and the prince of the Rong clan...According to the schedule, the explanation and various 'evidences' have arrived in the capital more than half a month ago, but..."

Speaking of which, Qi San seemed to be a little confused.

After a pause, he said: "... Strangely, the capital has not yet given an answer.

"My subordinates looked at the secret letter sent by Qi Yi and the others, and found that there was no mention of the matter in the courtroom at all... It seems that the emperor has already put Li Jianshi's record on the document, and has forgotten the content of the collusion between the prince and the Rong family. General.

"Of course, because the emperor didn't mention it in the court at all, the arrangements made by Qi Yi and the others... didn't come in handy.

"Now Qi Yi and other people who stay in Beijing don't dare to act rashly, they are all dormant in silence, waiting for the follow-up."

"I didn't mention it again?" Qi You smiled and chewed these words silently.

He thought for a while, and asked, "King Yao An has now entered the capital, and the emperor has one more support that can compete with me. At this time, he should be even more arrogant... That's why this king must leave Errong behind. One of the biggest reasons to rush back to make arrangements.

"Then, what could be the reason...the emperor lost his voice when he could hold the king accountable?"

He frowned silently in thought.

The little girl who was playing ball next to her saw the house quiet down, raised her head curiously, and looked at her father.

However, Qi You just glanced at her lightly in his contemplation, and stopped paying attention to her when he saw that she didn't do anything out of the ordinary and dangerous.

The little girl pouted in dissatisfaction.

Qi San was silent for a moment, then threw out a guess: "My subordinates are bold... But, will the emperor be hindered by something?

"Or maybe I'm worried about King Yao An, so I don't want to anger the king again."

"Do you care about King Yao An?" Qi You sneered, "If he had such thoughts, he wouldn't have brought such a tiger into his bedroom in the first place."

Thinking of Lei Li's metaphor for King Yao An at the beginning, Qi You suddenly felt that it was indeed very vivid.

After being refuted by Qi You, Qi San was at a loss for words.

He waited for a while, and seeing that Qi You had nothing else to say, he said, "Your Highness, I will reply to Qi Yi and ask him to continue to observe the situation in the DPRK. If there are any changes, we will..."

Before he could speak, the little girl suddenly stood up with the back of the chair.

Qi You originally listened to him seriously, but seeing his little daughter's actions, he couldn't care about anything else for the time being, so he walked over and picked her up.

Protecting the person in his arms, he smiled helplessly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Daddy!" As soon as the little girl touched his chest, she hugged Qi You tightly.

She looked at Qi San angrily.

The little daughter of the palace had discovered just now that her father had been talking to this somewhat familiar adult, even ignoring him.

You must know that in the past few days, apart from his own mother, there has not been anyone who can shake his status.

Now that this "signature" has been discovered, the little daughter is angry.

She put her face to Qi You's ear and whispered, "No, play with him!"

"Huh?" His little daughter's voice was small and vague, and Qi You didn't hear it clearly for the first time.

The little girl simply increased the volume, pointed at Qi San and said, "Don't play with him!"

She usually speaks a short three-word sentence a little reluctantly, but this time she was forced to spit out five words together, which shows her inner grief and anger.

Qi You touched her back soothingly: "Good boy, Daddy is not playing with him."

Although this is explained, Qi You still intends to follow the "orders" of his little daughter and end this official business directly.

He took the little girl back to the book desk and sat down, and said to Qi San: "Well, you go down first.

"It's impossible for the imperial court to remain silent all the time. When you reply to the letter, tell Qi Yi to pay attention..."

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped.

He looked at the little girl who was playing with his neckline and muttered, "...don't play with him... alienate... slander..."

Qi San asked suspiciously, "Your Highness?"

"I see." Qi You suddenly said.

Under Qi San's astonished gaze, Qi You said that he had just had an epiphany, and suddenly figured out the joint: "The matter is not listed, it may be that the emperor does not want to pursue it, or it may be... He has made up his mind. , so there is no need to mention the discussion in the court.

"Because if the person who helps him is the King Yao An who is inseparable from him now, he doesn't need to go through the procedures of the court at all."

"What does Wangye mean?" Qi San vaguely guessed what Qi You was thinking, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"He not only wants to deal with this king, but also wants to use Zhu Yan's hand to deal with it seriously!" Qi You came to a conclusion.

Qi San felt a little dizzy in his head.

He took a deep breath to keep himself awake, and asked a question: "But... King Yao An is in the capital now, how can he deal with the prince?

"Take 10,000 steps back... Even if you really go that far, if you face it head-on, King Yao An won't necessarily win against the lord."

"He doesn't need to win me." Qi You said the key point: "He only needs to alienate the relationship between the king and the court."

After saying this, Qi You raised his head and fixedly looked at Qi San and explained: "If he has such a wolf ambition, as long as he guarantees that this king will be cold-hearted because of this, he will not help the emperor as soon as possible, then what is his purpose? , I am afraid it will be reached.

"If this is the case...even in the future...this king is in Liaozhou, and he is in the capital, obviously this king is more passive.

"And the stigma of collaborating with the Rong clan is on this king's head. Even if he does something rebellious in the future, this king obviously doesn't have a good position to accuse him. Maybe, this matter will be in his hands, A handle for crusade against this king."

At this point, Qi You finally cleared up the haze that had been haunting him.

Perhaps, he had already realized the possibility of this subconsciously, but because he couldn't figure out some of the joints, he had not been able to sort it out.

Just now, he was opened by the little girl's joke, and then combined this with the various actions of the court recently, and finally pieced together Zhu Yan's final plan.

Qi San swallowed, and his Adam's apple rolled violently: "Your Majesty... Could it be that stupid? Maybe..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi You raised his hand to stop him.

"From the moment the emperor gave an decree and declared Zhuyan to enter the capital... things are no longer under his control."

The corners of Qi You's lips curled into a smile: "If you have a knife around your neck and ask you to order, can you refuse?"

On Qi San's forehead, there was a faint drop of cold sweat.
