Chapter 470 Child...you have suffered
When Xing Qi saw the prince, his face was livid with anger, and he pointed at him with trembling fingers: "You... how dare you?"
If it weren't for the two relatives behind him who followed him tightly to hold him back, he would have rushed over regardless and smashed him into pieces.
The prince suddenly saw the living Xing Qi, although he tried his best to keep calm on the surface, his heart was already in a turbulent state.
It was really him!
Prince now has no time to think about why Xing Qi got involved with Feng Lisheng while not dead, he must stabilize the current situation.
The crown prince's complexion is not very good, looking at Prime Minister Xu: "Master Xu, tell me, what's going on?"
Prime Minister Xu led the crowd to bow and salute the prince respectfully. Xing Qi, who was sitting on the horseback, subconsciously raised his hand, and clenched his fists angrily when he saw the direction in which everyone was worshiping.
The Dali Temple Minister quietly observing the surroundings took this scene into his eyes, and the Dali Temple Minister lowered his head and frowned in thought. Some subconscious actions of people are difficult to pretend!
Prime Minister Xu straightened up under the prince's signal, and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness, this person is pretending to be my prince of the Great Xia, and he is still holding the banner of the previous dynasty."
The prince's gentle expression turned solemn, and he immediately ordered: "Then what are you waiting for, don't arrest these traitors!"
Prime Minister Xu was about to respond, but Xing Qi couldn't help but angrily said, "Shut up, you're just a stand-in, what qualifications do you have!"
The prince smiled slightly, without any panic at all:
"It's not that there are people with similar looks in this world. Besides... Gu also heard that there is a doctor in the Western Regions who can change people's appearance with a knife. In the previous dynasty, there were even rebels in order to assassinate the emperor. Er's daughter is sent to the palace."
These words obviously mean that Xing Qi is a drama specially cultivated by people with a heart.
Sure enough, when everyone at the scene heard this, and then looked at Xing Qishi who looked exactly like the prince, they felt that it was probably what the prince said.
After all, as members of the imperial court, they are naturally on the side of the prince, and it is impossible to believe Xing Qi's words just because he looks like the prince.
A trace of killing intent flashed across the eyes of the prince, and he waved his hand somewhere behind him. At this moment, he no longer cared whether his behavior would be regarded as a guilty conscience.
Xing Qi knows too many secrets, he must die!
The man in the dark strung his bow and shot the poisonous arrow towards Xing Qimianmen. He was won by the royal hidden guards. His martial arts are extremely high, and he is the crown prince's trump card.
Although Xing Qi's martial arts are good, he is still a little worse than such a person.
The arrow was as fast as an afterimage, but at the same time, a black shadow passed by quietly like a ghost, helping Xing Qi block the arrow, and then flew away quickly.
This change only happened in a flash, the prince squinted his eyes in disappointment, watching the disappearing figure of the man in black, with such a good skill, apart from the few in the world, only the royal guard or the master of the inner circle . He instantly thought of Feng Lisheng's personal secret guard,
Before he could speak, Xing Qi, who came back to his senses, looked at the direction behind him, and said coldly: "Gaofeng...you...you also betrayed Gu, you are Gu's personal secret guard..."
Gale was the one who shot the arrow in the dark just now.
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Prime Minister Xu, and said suddenly before the crown prince gave the order: "My lord doesn't believe in Gu's identity, does he? Well, let's talk about Gu.
It was November in the sixteenth year of Jinghe, I can't remember the exact date, but I roughly remember that it was a sunny day. In the historical records that the adults talked about that day, it talked about the famous general Huo Qubing who was granted the status of the wolf as the Xuxu. After Huo Qubing won the victory, he said, "The Huns are not destroyed, why should the family be?" "
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the prince: "You can ask this person, how did you answer?"
After the voice fell, everyone on the field subconsciously looked at the prince.
As the crown prince of a country, the prince has learned a lot,
In order for the crown prince to receive the top education, he invited famous teachers to teach him since he was a child. Not to mention, some important court officials also shouldered the task of giving lectures to the crown prince.
It can be said that the crown prince is as tired as the emperor. He wakes up at five o'clock every day and can't sleep until the hour of Hai.
But the crown prince wants to plan so many things in secret, it is impossible to split himself in half. In order to deceive people, he needs to use Xing Qi as a substitute.
During the time Xing Qi mentioned, something happened in Xianyang County, and the whereabouts of the first concubine and others were traced, and the prince was not in the capital for almost two months.
The prince felt the eyes of everyone, and he clenched his fists calmly, wishing to smash Xing Qi into thousands of pieces.
Because he had no memory of it at all.
For the sake of caution, every time Xing Qi pretended to be him and appeared in front of people, he had arranged for people to follow him every step of the way. Those people would write down what Xing Qi did and said that day, in case others talked about it next time. Sorry for the number.
Maybe it was because he was too busy during that time, he just glanced roughly and knew what happened every day. And after all, he didn't experience it personally, and he doesn't have the ability to remember it with a photograph, so how could he remember it?
Xing Qi's words put him in a dilemma. If he pretended to be his identity and didn't answer or said he had forgotten, he would be showing a guilty conscience under the eyes of everyone.
But Xing Qi specifically brought it up at this time, indicating that this answer must be deeply memorable to Prime Minister Xu.
Such thoughts only passed in his mind for a moment. He collected himself, smiled slightly at Prime Minister Xu, and answered this question from the perspective of Xing Qi's personality:
"Okay, then let Your Excellency be convinced! Gu replied that Huo Qubing might just have not met a girl he likes!"
This is indeed what Xing Qi can say. However, when Prime Minister Xu heard this, his eyebrows twitched and he looked at him deeply.
There was an ominous premonition in the prince's heart.
Prime Minister Xu lowered his voice and said, "Prince, you forgot that in November of the sixteenth year of Jinghe, Wei Chen fell ill and lay on the bed for nearly a month. Your Highness, you came to see Wei Chen in person!"
The prince's expression froze, and he looked at Xing Qi suddenly.
He was tricked!
Don't care about anger. He instantly restrained his expression, and said apologetically: "It's been too long, Gu may have forgotten!"
After all, it has been four or five years, so it doesn't seem too exaggerated to say that I forgot. The prince's eyes were fierce, and he was about to order to kill him directly.
However, Xing Qi seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said before the officials behind him were about to open their mouths: "Okay, forget it!" Eating too much wine, spraining my ankle on the way back from the toilet, it’s a lonely bone.”
Chu Yushi was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head abruptly, and there was indeed such a thing.
Besides, he was afraid of being laughed at, so he didn't tell anyone about it except the boy who was following him at that time, and the boy was so tight-lipped that he wouldn't say anything about it.
Everyone who was close was stunned when they saw Chu Yushi's reaction. Could it be that this is really...
Before everyone could figure it out, Xing Qi pointed to a seventh-rank Hanlin in the far corner:
"Three years ago, Chunwei, who was presided over by Gu, had a stomach problem during the exam when Mr. Wang, who was still a child, was Gu. He put a pack of medicine on your tribute table."
Wang Hanlin had a stomach problem since he was a child. At that time, he was halfway through the exam and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He thought he would fail this time, but in the afternoon, someone threw medicine for stomach problems into his dormitory, so that he successfully passed the exam. .
He was afraid of being involved in fraud, and he didn't dare to ask who helped him, let alone tell anyone.
Xing Qi pointed at several officials on the field one after another. Over the years, the prince has devoted too much energy to secretly cultivating power and attracting contacts. As for listening to the minister's lectures in the Chongwen Museum, things that are useless to him, such as going to court to listen to politics, are often handed over to Xing Qi, a substitute.
Seeing that all the officials who were ordered changed their expressions after hearing his words, the prince knew that this could not go on anymore, so he hurriedly winked at several of his confidant officials behind Prime Minister Xu.
Tai Shiling Master Yu shouted loudly: "Bold thieves, dare to slander the crown prince, Your Highness, please quickly order these gangsters to turn into thieves and kill them on the spot!"
The prince is preparing to give orders, and until now, he still wants to maintain his gentle and non-controversial personality.
Xing Qi gave him a squinting look, the prince is just too pretentious, he always wants to get everything, and likes to hide behind the scenes.
However, Chu Yushi and others stopped him. After hearing what Xing Qi said, they began to suspect that maybe there was something wrong with the crown prince.
Xing Qi said impatiently: "You still don't believe me! Okay, then go and invite Father... Oh, I almost forgot, Father should have been poisoned and passed out right now, so please ask Mother to come over and have a blood test , then it will be clear at a glance whether it is true or false!"
He said it so calmly and confidently, as if he meant something, and as if he was confident,
Seeing the prince's suddenly stiff face, he chuckled lightly: "I just don't know if this one dares to give it a try!"
Facing his meaningful gaze, the prince felt a turmoil in his heart.
He actually knew it!
The biggest secret is about to be exposed. At this time, he doesn't care about whether it will be exposed or not? He took out the token of the prince and ordered the 30,000 forbidden troops behind him to take him down.
The commander was a little hesitant, but facing the crown prince's token, the concept of monarch and subject engraved in his bones made him subconsciously choose to obey. After all, he is often the crown prince with the highest status.
Xing Qi waved his hand angrily, signaling the people behind him to charge forward. His task was to tear off the mask of the prince under the eyes of everyone. As for the rest, others would do it.
The prince’s behavior was tantamount to self-reporting. Xu Cheng and others looked at the two in surprise, but the prince had a token in his hand, and this involved royal affairs. They, as courtiers, didn’t know what to do for a while.
Just as the two sides were at war, the eunuch's shrill chanting came from a distance:
"The empress is here! Prince Jing'an is here!"
Not long after the words fell, two teams of Royal Forest Army opened the way, and two gorgeous sedan chairs drove towards them at high speed.
The prince really panicked now, how could the queen mother come here at this time!
While thinking, the sedan chair stopped, and the queen got out of the sedan chair with the help of the maid, then turned to another sedan chair, opened the sedan chair door respectfully, and an old man with gray hair came out from inside. He is the prince with the highest seniority in the Feng family clan.
Everyone bowed down and saluted one after another, even Xing Qi got off his horse and saluted respectfully. The private soldiers behind him looked at each other in blank dismay, especially the head of the family. Aren't they the former royal family? Why do you want to salute with the current royal family?
The queen raised her hand to signal everyone to stand up. The old prince Jing'an walked over tremblingly on crutches: "Just now someone sent a letter saying something happened to the crown prince."
When he saw Xing Qi who looked exactly like the prince, he rubbed his eyes in doubt: "This..."
The Queen's reaction was even bigger, she stared at the two same faces: "You..."
"Mother Queen..."
The prince and Xing Qi spoke almost at the same time. The prince didn't care about maintaining his image, and said first: "Mother, this person is pretending to be a servant with bad intentions, please order him to be arrested."
Xing Qi's eyes flashed apologetically, and he glared at him angrily: "Mother, don't listen to his nonsense, if you don't believe me, you can test your relatives with blood."
The queen looked at the two people with the same expressions and movements, and couldn't tell the difference for a while.
Old Prince Jing An said with a sullen face: "Take them back first and then we'll talk about it. It's so noisy, what does it look like?"
But neither Xing Qi nor the prince agreed. The prince knew that once Xing Qi was brought back, his life experience might not be covered.
In order to prove his identity, he said a lot about the private affairs of the mother and son, and looked at the queen pleadingly after speaking.
The queen raised her hand to help him up, but then glanced at Xing Qi beside him.
Xing Qi didn't say anything this time, but silently raised one sleeve, revealing a solid arm.
And on that arm, there was a scald the size of a copper coin.
The queen was stunned for a moment when she saw the wound, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch it lightly: "It was when you were nine years old that you accidentally knocked over the charcoal basin in the bedroom of the palace and got burned."
Xing Qi lowered his eyes and answered "Yes" softly. That was when he was just arrested in the East Palace, the prince also got scalded on the same part of his arm in pursuit of perfection.
After many years, he can still clearly recall the severe pain of the red soldering iron pressing on the skin.
The prince's face was ashen, and he also remembered this matter. In fact, he didn't necessarily need to use a soldering iron at that time, but seeing the unruly and disdainful face similar to his own, his unwillingness and resentment were aroused.
Seeing the big drops of cold sweat on the young man's forehead under the severe pain, he felt extremely happy.
However, at this moment, he had a taste of why shooting himself in the foot?
Xing Qi lifted his sleeves up, exposing his shoulders covered with wounds.
The queen suddenly stared at a certain part of his shoulder in a daze for a while, then hugged him tightly in her arms, weeping uncontrollably: "My child, you have suffered..."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay!
Is this really the prince? That…
Many people subconsciously looked at the 50,000 private soldiers brought by Xingqi. If this is really the prince, then the prince is planning to rebel!
Even the crown prince was stunned. Could it be that just because of this wound, the queen mother mistook Xing Qi for him!
He rolled up his sleeves subconsciously, but suddenly realized that the current situation, no matter whether he is really the prince or not, the crime of rebelling against the prince cannot be cleared away.
Xing Qi is trying to reveal what he has done before in front of the real person.
He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but when he glanced at the black imperial army around him, the 50,000 private soldiers who should have belonged to him were punished by the punishment of seven, and these soldiers and horses he spent countless manpower and material resources on training turned out to be his opposite.
And his confidant, Mr. Qin, was staring at him with extremely hostile eyes.
After all, in Mr. Qin's opinion at this time, if it weren't for him as a "traitor", they might have taken the capital by now.
The prince was so distressed that he couldn't tell when he met this hateful gaze, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
