2.8 (end)

 A few days before Shi Fan was happy that he had become a concubine, the whole capital was in chaos, and victims of the disaster from the south of the Yangtze River had already poured in in large numbers.

  Now the common people selling stalls in the capital have closed their stalls and closed their doors tightly for fear that these victims will rush into their houses and snatch things.

  Qi Yuan sat on the dragon chair and listened to the reports from the ministers. His handsome face was now red with anger.

  "Then can any of you tell me how to deal with those damn refugees!"

  There was silence in the main hall, with only Qi Yuan continuing to perform a one-man show above.

  When his eyes saw Qi Xuan standing there, it was as if he had found some kind of punching bag, and he reprimanded with a very dissatisfied tone: "Prince Regent, can you tell me why you didn't tell me this matter earlier?"

  Qi Xuan looked at Qi Yuan who was so angry that he had no regard for face, and said coldly: "I have told you this matter, Your Majesty, but at that time you would rather spend a lot of money and labor to build a palace than give it to those Funding for Disaster Victims."

  The implication is that you are solely to blame for the consequences you have now.

  How could Qi Yuan not hear it? He snorted coldly without any sign of repentance, "I am the emperor and the lord of this world. So what if I build a comfortable palace? But since the regent is so worried about the refugees thing, then it's up to you to handle it."

  These words chilled the hearts of many ministers present. If such an emperor continues like this, the country will end sooner or later.

  Qi Xuan knew very well what kind of person this new emperor with his damaged wings and unclear mind was. He was not surprised at all, and there was nothing on his face to accept this order.

  Qi Yuan saw that Qi Xuan couldn't say a harsh word to himself, so he could only obey his orders angrily. The scolding he had received in the past few years under his guidance finally made him feel a lot better. Ha, the regent. So what, in the end no matter how powerful you are, you still have to listen to him as the emperor.


  When Qi Xuan was about to go back and instruct his men to make the refugees act more like themselves, someone behind him called his name.

  He turned around and saw that it was Prime Minister Zuo. He stopped and asked, "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you want?"

  Prime Minister Zuo belongs to the group who thinks that the country can get better and better. He also knows how powerful Qi Xuan is, so he doesn't want to see him fall out with the new emperor, so he persuades him: "The regent and the new emperor have only ascended the throne not long ago. Some things need to be studied hard, so please be more tolerant to him and don't get angry with him."

  "I never take these things to heart." He is just a helpless Adou, and he is not worthy of being angry about it.

  "As long as you're not angry, then I won't bother you, the regent." Prime Minister Zuo had no idea what Qi Xuan was thinking in his heart, and really thought he was being generous and not bothering with the new emperor.

  Qi Xuan looked at the splendid palace not far away, and a cold flash flashed in his eyes. Soon, Qi Yuan, you, the emperor, are about to reach your end.

  Under Qi Xuan's deliberate control, the number of refugees not only did not decrease, but increased in number.


  Qi Yuan held back his anger and looked at Qi Xuan who was standing there and asked: "Prince Regent, can you tell me what is going on and why there are more and more refugees."

  Qi Xuan replied: "Even if only some of those refugees are rescued, new ones will come, unless the flood problem can be solved from the source."

  "From what you say, are you blaming me?" Qi Yuan's remaining sense told him not to get angry at Qi Xuan here.

  "Isn't it?" Qi Xuan asked.

  "You..." Qi Yuan was so angry that he fainted.

  "Your Majesty...!" Wang Gonggong was frightened and called out quickly.

  "Please call the doctor quickly."

  There was a commotion in the hall for a while, and Qi Xuan, the instigator, sneered in his heart and turned to leave.


 Qi Yuan was seriously ill. No one expected that his body and bones were already in serious condition at such a young age. For a while, the ministers in the court had their own thoughts.

  Qi Xuan was not surprised by this. After all, with his body like that, anyone could tell that it was not good. Years of drinking and drinking had already emptied his body.

  He still went to Luangshuang to visit his little lover every day after finishing the memorial.


  Shi Fan was having a very bad time during this period. In his plan, he would continue to gain Qi Yuan's favor, and then finally take that position, and let the idiot emperor hand over his power bit by bit.

  But what he never expected was that Qi Yuan was seriously ill, and that there were more and more refugees outside the city walls.

  Feeling very unhappy, he decided to go to Shi Qing's place to vent his anger.

  Shi Fan came to the deserted palace alone at noon without taking the palace maid with him.

  But what he saw was that Shi Qing was actually standing with a man, and judging from the man's clothes, he didn't look like a member of the palace, but more like an outsider.

  Okay, now he has a handle. As long as Qi Yuan comes to see it, Shi Qing will definitely be executed.

  The more Shi Fan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he went back cautiously.


  But he didn't know that his arrival had been informed by Shi Qing early. He looked at Qi Xuan beside him and curled his lips and said: "Brother Xuan, you see what I said is right, Shi Fan will definitely come over."

  He knew very well about Shi Fan's character of coming to vent his anger on the original owner whenever something didn't go his way.

  Qi Xuan said nothing but touched the top of Shi Qing's soft hair to hide the true emotions in his eyes.


  After Shi Fan returned to the palace with excitement, he sat on the bed, thinking about how to tell Qi Yuan about this matter. It would definitely not work if he told Qi Yuan directly. Qi Yuan would not believe him without evidence.

  It seemed that the only option was to find another opportunity and bring Qi Yuan to witness all that with his own eyes. As for when, Shi Fan thought that since Shi Qing had done such permissive things with other men, he would definitely continue to interact with her.


  In the room

  Because the plot is about to end, Shi Qing and Qi Xuan are discussing things, which is to let him escape from the cage of the palace.

  "No, I don't agree." Qi Xuan felt that this method was inappropriate when Shi Qing proposed it.

  Shi Qing knew that the man said this because he was worried about him, so he said: "Don't worry, brother Xuan, I will do this for sure. I swear to you there won't be any problems." And he also has such a system. Goldfinger exists.

 Qi Xuan sat down next to him and sighed, "Qingqing, we can think of other ways."

  Shi Qing looked directly at him, "Brother Xuan, do you believe me?"

  In the end, Qi Xuan compromised, "Then you must be careful when the time comes and come out as soon as you're done."

  "Yeah, I understand."

  Originally, Shi Qing was planning to use Holiday's trick to escape. He never thought that Shi Fan would see him, but this did not affect his plan.


  That night, news spread in the palace that the ruined palace was leaked.

  When Shi Fan heard the news, he didn't believe it at all. He clearly saw Shi Qing with another man in the morning. How could it be such a coincidence that something happened at night?

  However, when Shi Fan was allowed to go see them because he was a relative of Shi Qing, as soon as he stepped into the deserted palace, he saw two corpses placed on the ground, namely Shi Qing and his slave Xiao Cui.

  The fire was said to have started in the middle of the night because they were all sleeping, but when they discovered that the fire had already burned out, less than half of it had been burned. Moreover, the Huangdian Palace was located in a remote location, making it inconvenient to fetch water.

  The face of one of them was burnt and the original appearance was no longer visible, but the figure was similar to Shi Qing. Especially when Shi Shifan took advantage of no one to notice, he opened the sleeve of the corpse and saw the When he saw the mole and the scars caused by himself, he believed that the body was Shi Qing.


  After returning to the palace, Shi Fan burst out laughing, hahaha, Shi Qing is dead, that person who is better than him in everything is dead, it's great, let's see who dares to compare with him now.

  The maid guarding the outer hall heard the oozing laughter coming from inside, and her body trembled from the habit of being beaten frequently, but the expression on her face was very numb.


  Qi Yuan was lying in bed when he heard the news of Shi Qing's death. He thought of the young man he saw that day, sighed with regret, and made a decree to make him a concubine of the Qing Dynasty and to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

  As soon as this decree came out, Shi Fan, who had not been in a good mood for a long time, wanted to poke a few holes in his body with a needle. Even though he was already dead, he still wanted to rob him.


  After Qi Xuan heard this decree, he was watching Shi Qing, who was sleeping as he left the palace, and felt that he might have to speed up. He was really unhappy that his beloved baby was being spied on by such a thing.


  Three days later, the situation of the victims in the city became more and more serious. Qi Xuan's health, which had recovered a little, became even more serious after hearing the news.

  A few days later, all the shops in the city were closed. The originally bustling city was desolate except for the victims of the disaster.

  Finally one day, the victims rebelled and rushed into the palace. The guards pretended to stop them because they had received orders from Qi Xuan.


  Qi Yuan heard the noise coming from outside and struggled to sit up from the bed, "Ahem...someone is here! Get me a glass of water."

  After shouting for a long time, the whole hall was still silent. Qi Yuan had no choice but to get out of bed and come outside. He also gave those daring slaves a severe note, thinking that when he got better, he would have to punish them. The slaves were executed by Ling Shi.

  "We found the dog emperor and he is here."

  As a rough and unfamiliar voice sounded, Qi Yuan looked up and saw two men in dirty clothes rushing in from outside.

  "Who are you? Get out of here quickly."

  The leading man sneered: "For a fool like you to want us to listen to you, it's really a fool's errand."

  After speaking, he clapped his hands and said: "Brothers, come in, the dog emperor is right here."

  Another group of people came in, and they immediately surrounded Qi Yuan. The dirty clothes and the stench from not taking a shower for who knows how many days directly made Qi Yuan, who was already seriously ill, faint. passed.

  When he woke up again, it would be over long ago.


  Qi Xuan looked at Qi Yuan who had fainted, and sneered at the refugees: "You guys have worked hard on this scene, you can go down and rest."

  The man who scolded Qi Yuan before shook his head when he heard this and said: "Prince Regent, you are the savior of us people. If it weren't for your help, it would still be a question whether we could survive, let alone help you. This is a little busy."

  "Yes, Prince Regent, you are a very good person."

  Qi Xuan remained silent. He knew very well who he was, and he would do all this just to allow his baby and himself to live a stable and happy life.


  Late at night

  Not long after Qi Yuan woke up, the sound of footsteps woke him up instantly.

  "It's you, Qi Xuan, how did you get in?"

  Qi Xuan did not answer his question, but took out a blank imperial edict and said, "Qi Yuan, please write the call letter for your Zen position."

  "Haha, I knew this was all your conspiracy, but if you give up on this idea, I won't write it."

  "Really? That's fine." Qi Xuan took back the imperial edict and said with a contemptuous smile: "Anyway, I'm just telling you." Even if this imperial edict is fake, no one dares to say anything.

  Qi Yuan was furious when he heard this, and the anger he had accumulated over the past few days burst out at this moment, causing him to vomit blood.


  The next morning the big golden bell hanging high on the city wall was rung, and the white tomb was also hung high.

  The palace walls were filled with cries, and the emperor died.

  After the funeral, Qi Xuan selected Qi Yuan's half-brother from the beginning and sent Prince Xuan back from outside the capital to inherit the throne.

  Two years later, Qi Xuan resigned as regent and took Shi Qing with him to travel around the world.

  As for Shi Qing's so-called father and stepmother, they were found guilty of a series of crimes not long after the new emperor ascended the throne and were immediately beheaded, while the others were exiled to the wasteland.

  Shi Fan, who wanted to escape with the money, was also caught and sent to be with Qi Yuan.


  Before Qi Xuan's life was about to end in this life, Shi Qing kissed him and made a promise with him in the next life.

  "Brother Xuan, I will go find you."

"Okay, Qingqing, I'll wait for you." Qi Xuan held his beloved and closed his eyes with reluctance.
