Chapter 293 The White Moonlight of the Fascinating Female Protagonist in a Book 8
The fact that the second prince was demoted to a commoner and exiled was very sudden, and many people did not react.
After all, the emperor never made his crimes public from beginning to end, and only casually gave some reasons to the outside world.
However, no one dared to guess the emperor's thoughts, and could only obey his orders.
Of course, there were also some well-informed people who knew some inside information, and after knowing the reason why the second prince was demoted, they kept silent.
Yan Qi was not exiled on the day he was received, but was arrested and imprisoned for a few days.
Shi Qing went to see him outside the city on the day he was exiled.
When Shi Qing arrived, the fourth prince was already there. Seeing Shi Qing, he smiled and said, "Is the seventh prince also here to say goodbye to that person?"
Looking at the fourth prince's gloating look, Shi Qing hummed.
"I really don't know why he can do such a thing..." The fourth prince said, and sighed in a fake manner.
Shi Qing saw that although he said so, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Everyone knows that the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince are at odds. Isn't this the one who knows best why Yan Qi is in this situation?
However, seeing how hard he was acting, Shi Qing could only cooperate and said, "Fourth Prince is right. I don't know why he is so confused."
"Yes, he is really confused." The Fourth Prince agreed, but soon changed the subject, and the expression on his face became unfathomable. He said in the tone of an experienced person:
"In fact, I thought he was not a good guy before. He smiled at you gently and reasonably on the surface, but he might be thinking about how to stab you behind your back. It's not surprising that such a person would do such a thing."
As he said this, he nodded to show his affirmation.
Shi Qing was amused by him and said with a smile, "Fourth Prince is not unreasonable."
As they were talking, they saw Yan Qi.
Yan Qi was escorted out of the city by two yamen runners. When he saw Shi Qing, a little hope appeared on his numb face, "Seventh brother."
"You are no longer a member of the royal family. You still need to be careful with your words and actions." The fourth prince spoke softly.
Yan Qi ignored him and continued to say to Shi Qing: "Thank you for coming to see me."
Shi Qing hummed and didn't say anything polite. He came to see the joke, not to play brotherly love and help him.
After Yan Qi's affairs were exposed, his mother, Concubine Xiao, was demoted, and his maternal grandfather's family was suspected of colluding with him. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation, and he could not protect himself. Now Yan Qi has no one to rely on.
Compared with Shi Qing's secret jokes, the fourth prince was very blatant.
Seeing Yan Qi ignoring him, he came up and said bitterly: "How could you be so confused? Your father is so good to you, how could you do those things? Fortunately, your father is kind. You must be a good person this time and don't do those stupid things again."
As he said that, the fourth prince suddenly seemed to have just reacted, and said: "It was this prince who forgot. Even if you want to do something, you don't have the ability to do it." After saying that, he had an expression of finally being relieved.
Yan Qi was so angry when he saw the fourth prince's smug look that he wanted to punch him.
However, thinking of his current situation, he endured it.
Shi Qing saw that he was so angry that his eyes were about to spit fire. After thinking about it, he decided to give him the memories in the original plot.
With him, Yan Qi will have a hard life in the future. He can also get some comfort by having those beautiful memories in the original plot.
The system noticed Shi Qing's thoughts and said puzzledly: [Host, with those memories, won't he be more miserable? 】
After all, aren't humans obsessed with the two things "never obtained" and "already lost"?
Shi Qing: ...
Shi Qing didn't explain anything to the system, just said: "Just do it, by the way, make some arrangements for Wu Yaxuan."
[Okay. 】
The system didn't bother about anything, and quickly did it.
So, Yan Qi, who had just walked a short distance, felt a headache, his body swayed, and soon he closed his eyes and fainted on the ground.
This situation scared the two yamen runners who escorted him.
On weekdays, when escorting prisoners, everyone would rush to do it, because they could get a lot of benefits and it was a lucrative job.
But this time, escorting the second prince who was demoted to a commoner, everyone just felt troublesome.
After all, although the emperor had already despised him and wanted to exile him to Yuzhou, it was precisely because of this that they had to escort him to Yuzhou properly, and there could be no mistakes on the way.
The two of them had no backing, so they were assigned this escort. They were already very unhappy. Now, they hadn't walked far when the person fell down.
Looking at the motionless person, the two yamen runners looked at each other and quickly squatted down to check the situation.
If the person died on the way for no reason, how would they report to the task?
Fortunately, Yan Qi didn't let the two yamen runners worry for long, and soon woke up slowly.
Yan Qi sat up, looked at the two people staring at him, and said unhappily: "Where is this?"
The two yamen runners heard him ask this, looked at each other, and one of them said: "We are still on the way, get up quickly, we must get to the next place before dark, otherwise we can only sleep in the wilderness."
Hearing the person in front of him say this, Yan Qi quickly remembered the memory of this life.
By the way, the things he did were discovered by his father in advance, and then he was imprisoned, demoted to a commoner, and exiled. Now, he is on the way to exile.
Thinking that such a big change has happened in this life, Yan Qi has a very bad premonition in his heart.
How could this happen? Why were his deeds discovered so early?
He is the emperor, the final winner, how could he be eliminated so early?
"I won't leave, I want to go back." Yan Qi said to the two yamen runners who escorted him.
Neither of the two yamen runners expected Yan Qi to say this. One of the yamen runners with a bad temper said directly: "Get up and get on the road quickly. You think you are still a prince. I tell you, you are now an exiled commoner. If you don't obey, don't blame us for being ruthless."
As he said this, he played with the whip in his hand, with obvious threatening meaning.
If it was an ordinary prisoner, he would have whipped him a few times. Yan Qi's special status made him endure it and didn't do it.
The yamen runner felt that he had given Yan Qi a lot of face, but Yan Qi didn't think so. Seeing that the little yamen runner dared to threaten him, he laughed angrily, "Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me?"
"You..." The two yamen runners were frightened by Yan Qi's self-proclaimed. He really didn't care about his life. He didn't want to drag them into the water even if he wanted to die.
"Don't talk nonsense, get up quickly and go to Yuzhou with us."
"I won't go. I'm a prince. My father will never really give up on me. I wonder who dares to touch me?"
Yan Qi changed his words and looked at the two yamen runners, feeling fearless.
But soon, the two yamen runners let him know that they dared to touch him.
When he was beaten to pieces, Yan Qi felt pain and hatred.
In his previous life, as the emperor, no one had ever disrespected him, let alone attacked him.
But now, feeling the burning pain on his body, Yan Qi could only pretend to surrender.
"You should have gone on the road earlier. You have to make trouble. Do you really think we dare not touch you?" The yamen runner who was a little irritable and took the lead in beating Yan Qi sneered.
It's true that he was a prince before, but if he didn't commit a serious crime, he wouldn't be disliked by his own father. Why pretend in front of them!
