”Not even light and mud!” Gui Six said with a fierce look, ”Everyone in the world is watching me. If I were to become weaker today, those fence-sitters would probably turn their backs on me in three days!”

”Power is something that needs to be fought for!” If I show a little weakness, he'll have to push himself even further! ”

Yi Xuan downed a cup of wine and said, ”Then, what are you prepared to do?”

”What should we do? Hehe … We have to think of a way to get rid of this brat! ”

Just as Duke Gong Palace was plotting, the banquet in the forbidden city had also started. The desolate Qian Qing Gong Palace opened the door, Tongzhi and the relatives of empress dowagers were gathered together to welcome Tongzhi!

However, the lack of Yi Nan and Yi Xuan's presence made the atmosphere of the entire banquet extremely strange. Only Fifth Prince Yi Cong presided over the event.

Such a big family banquet had been eaten by the chilling wind and rain; there was no flavor to it!

When the clock struck eight in the evening, the Fifth Master raised his goblet and toasted. After that, he felt tired, so the feast ended in one go!

After all, Ci An was not the biological mother of the Tongzhi Emperor. She knew that the mother and son pair were going to meet tonight, so he did not waste anymore time driving back to the Beiyuan!

Originally, Ci Xi wanted Zai Chun to live in the storage palace, but he never thought that Zai Chun would not agree!

”I'm not a three year old child, and I'm still living with the Mother? If you don't want to go, then I'll stay at the Western Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace! ”

”Child, as long as you are not married, you will always be a child. Follow me to storage palace!”

”No, no. I live on my own outside. I'm already used to it. I can't fall asleep with so many people around …” ”I'm not going to do it no matter what!”

Maybe it was only at this moment, that Emperor Tongzhi finally revealed the appearance of a child. Ci Xi looked at his own son who was full of joy, and felt angry but still kept on holding onto his son's hand.

”Good, good, good …” If you want to live in the Warm West Pavilion, that's fine. I've already let them burn the land dragons.

”But I told you before, you have to release the Prince Ching later on. That is not something you can circle just by saying so … Even though you are the emperor, you still need the support of the leaders of the eight flags before you can go ahead with your plans! ”

”Go back and pick a few Semen Orientale s from him. Deduct three years of his salary and it'll be fine, but it's still enough for you to be magnanimous …”

Zai Chun tilted his head and said, ”It's not impossible to let him go, but if he dares to disrespect the Emperor, he has to be punished!”

”First, we'll linger around for a month, and then the prince will descend to become a duke. We'll just have to give him back the title of prince once we've accomplished our duty!”

Ci Xi thought for a while, ”Since he has already been decided to take the blame, then we can only let him take the blame … Li Lianying! ”

”Ah …” What is Her Majesty's command? ”

Ci Xi thought for a while and said to Li Lianying, ”Tomorrow, go visit Duke Qing Palace and pass a message to I … Just say who will be the scapegoat if you don't take the blame? ”The bigger the better …”

”I knows that you, Yi Kuang, have always been thinking about your old house, so I didn't dare agree to anything else … When the His Majesty has taken over personally, if you can do whatever you want with it, the His Majesty will naturally bestow you with a better mansion, so be it! ”

Zai Chun did not understand what happened? I hear there's a story here? ”

Li Lianying fawningly kowtowed to His Majesty, and while at the same time, crawled forward, she gently placed Zai Chun's leg into his bosom. ”His Majesty has worked hard today, this servant will pinch His Majesty's acupuncture points, and it's extremely sore …”

How could Li Lianying let go of such a good opportunity to flatter her? Upon hearing His Majesty's doubts, he hurriedly offered the treasure and said, ”His Majesty might not know, but Duke Gong Palace was actually used to be in Prince Qing Yi Yong before!”
