Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 279: Did Emperor Qing really give birth to the Fourth Prince? Eliminate the Second Prince's forces in front of all officials

Li Chengqian looked a little flustered. What if the ridiculous things he had done were to be exposed?

Not to mention that he is just a prince who doesn’t care about the power of his mother’s family.

Even if Liu Hong went to the palace in person, he could not stop Emperor Qing's determination to depose the crown prince.

After all, Emperor Qing also had some special feelings for the eldest princess Li Yunrui, but he couldn't show it due to the secular world and his status as emperor.

With so many thoughts in mind, Li Chengqian bowed deeply.

"Teacher, save me!"

Liu Hong grabbed Li Chengqian and shook his head.

"No need to kneel. Since you are my student, as long as you do not violate my bottom line, I will naturally keep you safe for the rest of your life."

Li Chengqian's figure trembled.

Of course he knew what Liu Hong's bottom line was, as long as he didn't trample on the people at will, even if it was a scandal of royal incest.

Liu Hong was also willing to ensure his safety throughout his life, but that was all.

"Let's go! Let's go back to Kyoto and see what kind of gift His Majesty will give me."

Liu Hong slowly stood up and looked at the officials in Kyoto who were all gentle and humble, with an unconscious coldness in his eyes.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a spoiled and luxurious palace woman holding a baby in her arms, standing among the princes, walking with the second prince.

Liu Hong was completely stunned.

No! Emperor Qing was so powerful, and it was a miracle that he, as a grandmaster, gave birth to the third prince, Li Chengping.

As a result, a miracle happened again and another prince was born.

"Which prince is this?"

Liu Hong pointed slightly and spoke with some doubt.

Li Chengqian's eyes darkened and he spoke in a low voice.

"This is the fourth prince, Li Chenglong, born to Concubine Fan Jing of the Fan family."

The Fan family is a famous and powerful family. Of course, they cannot be Si Nanbo's family. As long as they are willing, they can find a woman and marry her into the palace.

When Liu Hong heard the name of Concubine Fan Jing, he understood.

It seems that after the death of the third prince, the Fan family finally made a desperate effort.

It is not clear who this Concubine Fan Jing is.

However, with the joint efforts of master and apprentice Fan Jian and Fei Jie, Emperor Qing experienced a second spring of youth. After several years of hard work, he had children again.

The news was hidden in a timely manner, and even the eunuchs of the Eastern Depot did not get the information.

Emperor Qing had already shown his determination by asking the infant Fourth Prince to come over.

Even if all three of his sons are related to Liu Hong, he can just have another one!
The fourth prince Li Chenglong, who is closely connected with the Fan family, will not hesitate to do anything.

The four princes will all become Liu Hong's enemies.

But Liu Hong looked at the Fourth Prince with some pity.

This unlucky child should have been born neither earlier nor later.

How come the prince was about to be deposed because of an incest scandal and was born when the Battle of Dadongshan began?

You have to know that the soldiers who are blinded by killing will not care about the prince's identity.

Liu Hong quickly withdrew his gaze.

It seems that the sperm-killing vegetables arranged by Hong Zhu were replaced with pregnancy-preparing vegetables under Fan Xian's arrangement.

This is just a random move, and it doesn't matter if it fails.

When Liu Hong came before all the officials, the Second Prince and Concubine Fan Jing bowed slightly to show their respect for the Grand Commander of Andong.

Concubine Fan Jing kept secretly glancing at Liu Hong's expression, thinking constantly.

The reason why she became the only concubine favored by Emperor Qing for several years and pregnant with the emperor's heir was because of the medical skills taught by Fan Xian and Fei Jie.

To put it bluntly, Concubine Fan Jing's medical skills are comparable to those of many medical officers in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Concubine Fan Jing couldn't help but wonder why Grand Commander Anton looked as if he was poisoned.

Even if there is no disease, it seems that death will occur in one or two years.

Liu Hong and Concubine Fan Jing looked at each other.

This concubine's appearance is not stunning, and she is even inferior to Fan Ruoruo and Sang Wen.

But she has a curvy figure and a plump butt, which makes her look quite attractive no matter how you look at her. She is a woman who is very suitable for childbearing.

When Fan Jingjing saw Liu Hong's aggressive gaze, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to peek at Liu Hong's expression again.

Liu Hong smiled with a hint of amusement. It turned out that so much time had passed, and the poison from Ku He had spread to his arm, almost entering his heart and bone marrow, and he was powerless to recover.

Even a concubine with medical skills could see it.

Fan Xian and the others probably saw it too! But they didn't say anything, they just wanted to watch him die.

The same goes for those wealthy and powerful families, who might even give away pills to keep themselves alive.

After overthrowing Emperor Qing, he will unify the world.

By the time the government has become initially stable, it will be time for him to die suddenly.

By that time, the eldest son will be young and the eldest son from another family will not have the first right of inheritance.

That will be a prosperous era belonging to the aristocratic families. The imperial power will be extremely low, and the era of the aristocratic families will arrive.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong couldn't help but sneer.

These aristocratic families thought they had everything under control and were still dreaming of a better life after death.

But they didn't know that Emperor Qing was the last and youngest grandmaster.

I don't know whether Liu Hong deliberately asked Ku He to give him this poison. The poison was supposed to break out in two years, but relying on the ninth-grade poison resistance ability, it was delayed to six years.

These aristocratic families thought they had everything under control.

But from beginning to end, he was treated like a dog by Liu Hong and Emperor Qing.

Liu Hong slowly turned his gaze to Li Chengze, his tone becoming uncertain.

"Second Prince, you did a great job! If I had returned to Kyoto a few months later, I'm afraid you would have completely destroyed my power."

The tone was not harsh, nor was it loud.

But all the officials around heard it clearly.

The Censor of the Censorate wanted to accuse Liu Hong of insubordination, but he remembered that Liu Hong was now a first-rank official.

Their new Chief Censor, Mr. He Zongwei, remained silent at this time.

I can only control my thoughts.

Li Chengze smiled, but the smile was a little forced.

"Grand Commander, I don't understand what you are saying."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You once had eight generals, and I killed one. If I kill five more, you should feel the pain, right?"

Liu Hong said this openly in front of all the officials.

Li Chengru moved his lips but said nothing.

After all, his brother was not dead, right? It was just that his power was hit.

It is reasonable for Liu Hong to take revenge.

Li Chengze's eyes suddenly became somewhat fierce.

"you dare!"

"When you were still a gangster, I provided you with protection and even got you a military position in the Ministry of War."

Li Chengze still wanted to use the kindness he had shown to Liu Hong to make him stop.

But he forgot the assassination at Black Wind Ridge, the series of conflicts after returning to Kyoto, and the matter of Qin Yu, the illegitimate son of the Qin family.

Liu Hong had already separated from him clearly and had repaid the favor he owed.

"You were struggling for power with those people, and you got confused?"

Liu Hong sneered directly, not caring at all that the officials were welcoming him.

"I have already repaid your kindness. Don't think that you can talk nonsense just because of this. I will not give face to anyone whose words I don't like!"

These words were not only said to Li Chengze, but also to Chen Pingping, Li Chengru, and Fan Xian, whose faces began to turn red.

What no one expected was that Liu Hong was not willing to give up.

"Who in the whole world doesn't know my name, Liu Hong, the Duke of Pei? The people of Xuankong Temple are doing things under my banner. If you touch them, you are slapping me in the face."

It is totally useless for this group of officials to say that the people are living in hardship and need light taxes and levies.

It would be better to directly assign them to your own command and use the logic of officialdom to explain it.

Li Chengze's handsome face could no longer hold back his smile, and he spoke in a gloomy tone.

"So, Grand Commander, what do you want to do?"

"Hand over Taiping Villa. It's useless for you to keep things that don't belong to you."

Liu Hong answered very straightforwardly and stated his purpose directly.
