Xia Kingdom, in Jinling City.

In front of Prince Qi's Mansion, several ministers of the court bowed together and said:

"Your Highness King Qi, please stay!"

Prince Qi, who was wearing a luxurious royal robe, stood in front of the palace gate, solemnly raised his hand in return, and said in a deep voice:

"Thanks to your gentlemen's advice today, it has been of great help to me. Please go slowly!"

Seeing King Qi's polite and courteous attitude, all the ministers showed satisfaction in their eyes, bowed again, and then turned around and dispersed.

When King Qi slowly stood up, Commander Zhou Quan, the bodyguard who had been standing next to King Qi, suddenly raised his head and looked to the left, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

After a while, he approached King Qi and lowered his voice and said:

"Your Highness, there is someone spying over there, do you need to capture him?"

King Qi followed Zhou Quan's line of sight and only glanced in that direction, then turned around and walked into the mansion, and responded casually:

"unnecessary."

Hearing this, Zhou Quan glared fiercely in the direction where someone was spying secretly, and quickly followed King Qi.

When the gate of the palace was closed, King Qi suddenly sighed tiredly, smiled bitterly and said comprehensively to Feng Chu behind him:

"This government affairs is really hard work, far less enjoyable than fighting. The most uncomfortable thing is that I have to wear a mask all day long!"

When Feng Chu heard his prince's slightly complaining words, he couldn't help but grinned and said with a smile:

"What did your Highness say? Why is this a hard job? The several adults who came to the mansion today are all important ministers of the court and are deeply trusted by His Majesty. The most important thing is that these few, even if the other princes try their best to win over them, can't

But he has never been involved in the battle for the right to inherit the throne! There are countless princes and princes in the capital who want to deal with them openly. His Highness said these words, which is a bit ungrateful!"

When King Qi heard this, he sneered twice, shook his head and said:

"That's right, I've put my eyeliner in front of the palace, I'm afraid I can't sit still!"

Zhou Quan blinked and said quickly:

"Your Highness, how about I go and pull out all those eyeliners?"

Before King Qi could refuse, Feng Chu quickly stopped him and said:

"Hey, it's His Majesty's order that these courtiers came to discuss matters. If that's the case, what are you afraid of? The more eyes you have, the more it will show that Your Highness is upright and will not avoid suspicion!"

Having said this, Feng Chu paused for a moment, then looked at King Qi, and continued:

"Your Highness, the princess has just entered the palace!"

When King Qi heard this, his eyebrows suddenly softened and he hurriedly asked:

"Yingyao is here? No one noticed it!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the embroiderer's methods will never be so bad!"

Upon hearing this, King Qi immediately quickened his steps and hurried towards the study.

In the study, Yu Yingyao, dressed in men's clothing, stood with her hands bent. When she heard the footsteps outside, she turned to look at the door, smiled brightly at the newly arrived King Qi, and said:

"Brother Royal!"

King Qi looked at Yu Yingyao standing in front of him, hid his smile, and said with a straight face:

"You should be in Zhongqing City of Yun Kingdom now. It's okay to go out for a walk. If you are seen, there are ways to denounce it. But you should come less often to my palace, so as not to arouse suspicion!"

Hearing this, Yu Yingyao blinked her eyes and said with a charming voice:

"Aren't you here to congratulate the emperor brother... Congratulations to the emperor brother,

The great cause will be accomplished! When the emperor comes to the throne in the future, I won't have to worry so much!"

When King Qi heard this, his eyes paused slightly, then he nodded and said:

"Just in time, I also have a few things I want to ask you!"

Feng Chu and Zhou Quan, who were following behind, immediately understood and bowed to them before turning around and leaving the study.

Yu Yingyao looked at the somewhat serious King Qi, her heart moved, and she quickly asked: `Funny w

"Brother Emperor, what do you want to ask? Now my abilities are already very great. There are few things in the world that I don't know!"

Upon hearing this, King Qi nodded and said:

"Well, I just wanted to ask, how powerful is your subordinate now?"

Yu Yingyao blinked her eyes and noticed the serious and solemn look on King Qi's face. She sighed slightly in her heart and said in a deep voice:

"Among the embroidery envoys, 80% of the people are at my disposal. The remaining 20% ​​of the people are under direct orders from my father. I can't reach out for the time being!"

King Qi had already been prepared, but at this moment he couldn't help but frown, showing a look of surprise.

"It's only less than a year!"

Yu Yingyao said seriously:

"To be precise, it was four months! Four months after returning to Beijing, this embroiderer almost fell into my hands!"

Speaking of this, Yu Yingyao showed hesitation again, and after a while she said:

"But at that time, I could only make calls, but I couldn't use my fingers. It took a few more months to transfer all the people assigned by my father and arrange new people to take over."

Upon hearing this, King Qi suddenly sighed and said with a hint of confusion:

"Without the secret help of my father, how could you have taken over most of the embroidery users in such a short period of time!"

Obviously, at this time, King Qi had already guessed that his father was always behind this.

Seeing King Qi's inexplicable confusion, Yu Yingyao pursed her lips and said:

"Brother Emperor, it seems that you have guessed it before?"

King Qi came back to his senses, looked at his sister helplessly, and said:

"I'm not a fool! The embroidery envoy has a special status. Even if he is involved in the fight for the heir, he does not dare to express his position openly. As for Feng Chu, he is a high-level embroidery envoy, but since he returned to the capital, he has

He has been following me. His identity is not known to others, so can the old man know it? But do you see any reaction from the palace? And now that I think about it, Feng Chu’s submission is a bit too much, and it makes it easier!”

Although the Embroidered Clothes Envoys have long been involved in the struggle to seize the direct descendants, before Yu Yingyao did not thoroughly cleanse the Embroidered Clothes Envoys, there were even many high-level Embroidered Clothes Envoys who already had princes who secretly supported them and contributed a lot.

But the identity of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy is special after all. He is a member of the Xia Emperor's personal army. Being involved in seizing the direct descendants is something that should never be left open to the public!

After Feng Chu returned to the capital, he had been obeying orders from King Qi. Although he openly assumed the identity of an official of Honglu Temple, secretly, how could he hide his identity as a high-level embroiderer from Emperor Xia?

Moreover, at the beginning, King Qi just said a few words and asked Feng to serve under him, which seemed logical. But now that he thought about it, how could a high-level embroiderer join him, a prince who was not valued highly, if there were no other reasons?

It was from here that King Qi began to make some guesses!

Hearing this, Yu Yingyao blinked her eyes and clapped quickly:

"Okay, I thought that the emperor's brother would act straightforwardly, but I never knew that the emperor's brother could be so thoughtful and considerate, so powerful..."

Seeing Yu Yingyao's playful appearance, King Qi's mouth twitched slightly.

He waved his hand to stop Yu Yingyao, then took a deep breath, looked straight at Yu Yingyao, and said:

"Although I feel like I'm being manipulated, I'm not a ungrateful person. Now I'm only one step away from the reserve position. After all, I've gained such great benefits... I believe that you won't harm me, my dear sister, but

But I still don’t understand, why me?”

Looking back, it was the old Xia Emperor who used tricks to force King Qi to take the road of seizing the throne. Then he arranged for Feng Chu to serve under his command. After that, he helped many times, even the embroidered clothes envoy.

The organization was all handed over to Yu Yingyao.

It seems that from the beginning, the old Emperor Xia had already decided that King Qi would inherit that position!

That is to say, he is sure that his compatriot sister will not harm him, otherwise he would be somewhat worried at this time. After all, the old Emperor Xia really does not have a good image in his heart.

Hearing King Qi's question, Yu Yingyao opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said:

"Brother, can you remember when my father's attitude toward you changed?"

King Qi immediately showed a thoughtful look, and after a moment, he said with some uncertainty:

"I haven't been close to the old man since I became an adult, but I didn't pay much attention to his attitude... Maybe it was after I invaded the Yun Kingdom without permission?"

Yu Yingyao blinked her eyes and said:

"Almost, to be more precise, it should be after the emperor's brother sent troops to massacre the southwest generals."

"Because of this?" King Qi asked with a confused look on his face.

Yu Yingyao nodded and said:

"Our brothers, some are good dancers and some are good at calculations, but none of them are as decisive and responsible as Brother Huang! And our Daxia is full of ills now, and what we lack is a king like you, Brother Emperor.

…”

"But when you are an emperor, the most important thing is not to select talented people, know people well and use them well, and balance power?" King Qi couldn't help but ask.

When Yu Yingyao heard this, her eyelids drooped and she said:

"Brother, I am just guessing. It is up to my brother to ask about my father's thoughts and plans!"

King Qi frowned and opened his mouth to ask further.
