Chapter 1666: Chapter 1663: In One’s Position

A single sentence, like a deadly weakness, left him frozen in place, his face revealing a look of struggle: “Uncle, Mother is in the Imperial Harem, she might not be…”

The words “doing well” were cut off directly by Minister Qi with a sharp voice.

“Prince, I thought you had matured over the years, but you’re still this naive. Do you really think that if you don’t fight, you can live peacefully?” Minister Qi was angry at his lack of ambition: “You can go and ask the palace attendants around your mother.”

“Your mother does nothing; see if people will bully her as a result.” Minister Qi shook his head, looking disappointed: “You have lived in the palace for so many years, you should know, entering the palace is like entering a man-eating place, it’s either you die or I live, even for self-preservation, you need to have a smart head. If we hadn’t fought from the beginning, it wouldn’t matter, at most, you remain inconspicuous.”

“But a few years ago, before Prince Rong returned, both the Great Prince and the Second Prince fell out of favor, and you received the most favor, becoming the most dazzling existence. If you don’t fight now, unless you’re abolished, our Qi family is abolished, your mother is gone!”

With every word Minister Qi uttered, Prince Qi’s eyes reddened a little, his hands clenched into fists, pain flashed in his eyes, along with some restrained emotions.

Minister Qi sighed lightly at last, reached out and patted his shoulder: “Child, you have always been sensible. Since you are in this position, you must strive, unless you really want to give up everything, give up everyone.”

Minister Qi left first, saying nothing more to him, but his attitude was firm, giving him no chance to refuse.

Prince Qi sat silently in place, his expression unchanged, but his eyes betraying an unsettled mind.

The Chu family and Prince Rong’s Mansion were not only monitored by the Qi family; all court officials paid attention, and even Emperor Xuanming had asked secret guards about the situation.

Chu Heng delivered gifts to Prince Rong’s Mansion in the late afternoon, just before it was about to get dark. The gifts were simple, consisting of medicinal herbs and supplements.

Chu Heng did not send the gifts privately, but openly sent them to Prince Rong’s Mansion.

Everyone learned the news that it was because Miss Chu had awakened, prompting the Chu family to express gratitude by sending gifts again.

Chu Heng went in person, stayed in the Mansion for fifteen minutes before coming out, without any twists and turns, not fearing being seen at all.

Prince Rong did not personally come out to receive the gifts, but the attitude from Prince Rong’s Mansion was very good.

Both sides seemed harmonious, with nothing unusual.

Emperor Xuanming heard the news in the palace and laughed heartily, “Interesting, no wonder it is Minister Chu.”

Minister Qi learned of the news just as he received information from Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi from the palace.

“Not anything special, and didn’t personally visit?” Minister Qi was puzzled.

“No.” The subordinate reported honestly.

Minister Qi did not believe it and asked again: “Did Prince Rong not call the imperial physicians to treat the injury?”

“No, Prince Rong’s Mansion only uses doctors employed at the residence, did not call the imperial physicians.”

Minister Qi waved to let the servants leave, stroked his beard, pondering the relationship between Prince Rong and Chu Heng, he originally thought Prince Rong wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.

Could it be that Prince Rong and Chu Heng have been close for a long time? That’s why they intentionally act grateful yet do not have excessive interactions?

No matter how Minister Qi guessed, all his attention was focused on the collaboration with Beirong.
