Since being re-titled as King Xian, Qi Xingchen has taken charge of the clan mansion, and many members of the royal family have obeyed him.

Qi Xingchen may have had the intention of marrying Qi Xingyun back then, but after the storms of those years, he just wanted to live a stable life and no longer think about the things he had and didn't have.

Moreover, looking at the hard work day and night of the emperor's brother Qi Xingyun over the years, I have never felt secretly happy in my heart.

If he had sat in that position back then, he might have been the one who was extremely busy.

Accustomed to living a leisurely and wealthy life, most of his edges have been smoothed away.

Perhaps this is why Qi Xingyun is relieved about him.

backyard.

A courtyard with an old maple leaf tree is very quiet, but it is surrounded by heavy guards.

Qi Xingchen pushed the wheelchair in slowly.

It's not that he can't stand up, it's just that he's not very agile when walking, and sitting down is obviously more comfortable.

When he approached the wooden door, he slowly stood up from the wheelchair and knocked gently.

"Come in, the door is open."

A hoarse tearing sound came from inside.

"Brother, how are you these days?" Qi Xingchen smiled and limped in.

What caught his eye was a tall man wearing coarse cloth, but his eyes were unfocused and his hair was very long, hanging down below his shoulders.

"Okay, as usual, it's good to keep this life." The man's tone was very flat, and his words were as frosted.

No one knew that such an old-looking man was the then eldest prince Qi Xingming.

"Brother, please don't be resentful. I can't fathom what the emperor's brother Guan is thinking about this." Qi Xingchen sighed.

After Qi Xingming was thrown into the water prison, Qi Xingyun never punished him. Logically speaking, he should have been given a glass of poisoned wine to die. Considering Qi Xingming's crimes, it was absolutely impossible for him to survive in the world.

But Qi Xingyun only imprisoned him but did not kill him completely, which really puzzled Qi Xingchen.

Later, after being imprisoned in the water prison for a long time, Qi Xingming's eyes lost their light and he could no longer see, and his face was covered with wrinkles.

"Ideology? Killing me is the easiest, but also the most boring. I think he kept me because he wanted to prove to me that he is the only one who can end the war and revive Daqi."

Qi Xingming snorted coldly, with a hint of desolation in his voice.

"Now, I can't see, my health is not good, and I can't live for long, but Daqi is still torn apart. Where is his proof? Where is it? Is he really better than me?"

"Brother, be careful with your words and actions, there are no secrets here." Qi Xingchen reminded.

"It doesn't matter, I just told him. He will definitely know what I said."

Qi Xingming coughed a few times and looked slightly ugly. He had been suffering from cold recently and was not in good health.

"Brother, why are you doing this?" Qi Xingchen sighed.

"Huh, there's nothing Qi Xingyun can't do. My children are gone, so why keep me? It's obvious at a glance." Qi Xingming sneered.

"Let bygones be bygones, big brother, some strange things have happened recently..."

Qi Xingchen quickly changed the topic. If Qi Xingming continued talking, he might not survive the night. Although Qi Xingyun would mostly ignore it, no one could tell what he was thinking.

After all, Qi Xingyun back then was the most ruthless and sinister prince. Who could play dirty tricks better than him?

After becoming the emperor, he became even more scheming.

He has a criminal record and is used to living a leisurely life now, but he doesn't want his leisurely life to be ruined because of some suspicion, which will affect the lives of his whole family.

"What's weird?" Qi Xingming's eyes narrowed.

"The poison controlled the ministers, nobles, etc...." Qi Xingchen said briefly, but did not go into details. He did not say who he controlled specifically.

"Are you doubting me?" Qi Xingming said.

"How is that possible? I just want to ask you if there is any special information to provide that might reduce some of the punishment." Qi Xingchen said.

"What does commutation mean to me?" Qi Xingming's eyes were filled with mockery.

"Perhaps, the emperor's brother can be asked to find his eldest brother's child?" Qi Xingchen thought for a while and finally said.

Qi Xingming is a big trouble. Who knows what Qi Xingyun had in mind when he took him out of the water prison and placed him in Prince Xian's palace.

If he takes the initiative to provide more clues, perhaps Qi Xingyun will have fewer guesses about Qi Xingming, and he himself will live a more stable life.

"Is it possible?" Qi Xingming's eyes lit up.

Qi Xingming didn't quite believe that his crime of becoming a king and losing a bandit was the result of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan in all dynasties. Neither he nor his direct children would survive.

But now, he is not dead, and his children are only exiled, not dead.

But where he went in exile, only Qi Xingyun knew, others had no idea.

"How is it impossible? Brother, you are still here, right? How can you know the result if you don't try?" Qi Xingchen advised.

"Let me think about it, there are some things that I can't remember clearly."

Qi Xingming stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. Recently, his body has been suffering from colds, and even his memory has been a little difficult, and he often has some specious hallucinations.

As for what happened in the past, I'm even more confused.

"Let me think about it... By the way, I remember that a few years ago, a wealthy jewelry businessman from the north of the city came to me and offered to pay me to honor me. These are commonplace."

"One of my subordinates found out that the wealthy businessman was dead before he came to find me, but only a concubine in his family knew that that concubine had something to do with my subordinate."

"Well, this incident was very strange, but later news came out that the wealthy businessman died after returning home."

"Okay, brother, I'll tell the emperor brother about this clue and see if it's useful." Qi Xingchen said, "Is there anything else?"

"I can't remember, let me think about it..."

Qi Xingming rubbed his temples vigorously, but his face was troubled, but there was no new progress.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. Brother, you rest first, I'll go."

Qi Xingchen turned and left.

After closing the door, Qi Xingming closed his eyes, shrouded in darkness, as if a cold breath was flowing.

This winter, it is really too cold.

…

After leaving Qi Xingming's residence, Qi Xingchen quickly returned to the hall where he lived, and immediately spread the news. All he had to do was pass it on to the hidden guards, and someone would naturally investigate and collect evidence.

As for his palace, he believed that the emperor had many eyes and ears installed, and his every move could not be hidden from him.

In fact, he has nothing to hide.

When there is nothing in mind, one will naturally be more magnanimous.

However, he not only passed a copy of this matter to the hidden guards, but also sent a copy to the hidden guards, which could be directly shown to Yang Ruoqing.
