Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

Xining Palace.

It is already the ninth day since Qi Mingze was placed under house arrest.

Ever since the late emperor passed away suddenly, he hadn't reacted, and he didn't even have time to contact his mother——

Pei Tingwen surrounded the place with troops. On the surface, they were guarding him, but in fact - he couldn't get out at all.

The news could not get out or in. It was strictly controlled and every move was closely monitored.

He was not able to go out until the late emperor's inheritance edict was announced to the world.

Under numerous guards, he went to keep vigil for the late emperor.

But after the wake, he was locked up here again and couldn't get out. There were all Pei Tingwen's people outside.

Unable to contact his mother, he felt anxious and tried various methods, but to no avail.

In desperation, he had to be patient and calm down for several days.

After the late emperor was buried in the cemetery, there was finally less guarding against him. As if he knew that the matter was finalized and there could be no more changes, Pei Tingwen did not prohibit him from moving around the palace.

He was able to meet his mother, although it was too late——

The world outside was already dominated by the Pei family, and the fourth prince ascended the throne by imperial edict. It was natural that the concubine who had always been suppressed in the past became the queen mother and moved into the Yongshou Palace.

Under such a general trend, Qi Mingze and Sun Muzhen's status is actually very embarrassing.

After all, they were once strong contenders for the throne, and there was always a faction in the court that supported them.

But now, the situation has been decided, and the conservatives in North Korea and China who originally supported them do not dare to oppose them at the risk of being accused of treason and rebellion.

Under various conditions, the clever Sun Muzhen no longer rashly chose to hit an egg against a stone, but instead lowered her attitude in a rare move.

After meeting her son, she took him to see the new emperor and asked to leave the palace.

Since ancient times, when a new emperor ascends the throne, other brothers and sisters can be crowned kings and stationed in fiefdoms. From then on, they are not allowed to enter the imperial capital unless ordered to do so, stay away from all rights and wrongs, and no longer interfere in palace affairs.

In this way, it can also prevent to a certain extent the possibility of the conferred king Zang not going against his will and treason.

Sun Muzhen, who was extremely good at judging situations, used this ancestral rule to stay away from the imperial capital and away from the Pei family's day and night surveillance.

Here, she couldn't move her hands or feet, and there was no possibility of success. She had to talk through walls and ears, but in the fiefdom——

Far away from the imperial capital, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. No matter how long the hands of the new emperor and the Pei family are, it is impossible for them to make no mistakes.

There's always an opportunity, she thought.

Such a request is reasonable and reasonable, and the new emperor has no reason to refuse.

Looking at them kneeling on the ground, the new emperor thought for a moment and found that he did not refuse.

He just asked: "Have your wife and third brother really thought about it? If they regret it now, I can pretend that I have never heard of anything."

"If Third Brother is willing, Third Brother can choose any official position in the court. Third Brother is talented and will be happy with whatever job he takes. You and I are brothers and have grown up together. If Third Brother wants , I will definitely be satisfied, and I hope that Third Brother will not be bound by this status and be separated from me."

What he said was nice and hypocritical.

He was really born in the same mold as the old fox Pei Tingwen. The old fox taught the little fox, and he also spoke very nicely.

Good words, but cruel hands.

Qi Mingze is not stupid. He knows that staying here is the fate of an idle prince with no real power, so he might as well go out and give it a try.
