Not to mention how Chu Li harbored resentment and doubted Qi Wang's feelings for him, after the guards of the Eastern Palace sent Qi Wang back to the Longevity Palace, they returned to report to Qi Heng.
Zhang Shiwei didn't hide anything, and told the truth about what happened in the sky prison before. When he heard that Qi Huang had put himself in danger, Qi Heng's complexion changed instantly, and he angrily said: "Trash, this king asked you Going to protect him, what have you done!"
"His Royal Highness, please forgive me, this subordinate knows his mistake."
The guards knelt down in unison. They didn't mean to make any excuses, and they admitted their mistake cleanly.
Qi Heng took a few deep breaths, and slowly calmed down. He looked at the kneeling guard Zhang below, and motioned him to continue talking.
Zhang Shiwei knelt on the ground and continued talking.
After Zhang Shiwei finished speaking, Qi Heng didn't interrupt him, but Zhang Shiwei watched secretly, His Royal Highness's face was very ugly, looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he strongly disapproved of what His Royal Highness did.
In fact, no one agrees with what His Royal Highness has done, but he is the master and they are slaves. Apart from obeying the orders of the master, how can they influence the behavior of the master
After finishing the story of the prison, the guard Zhang hesitated for a while, and added: "His Royal Highness, the difference in attitude towards the prisoner is too big, it feels like a different person. I didn’t dare to ask more questions at the time, but I always felt that it was wrong…”
At the beginning, Qi Huang treated Chu Li exactly like he would treat his lover, sad and slightly desperate, but after the little Highness put Chu Li down, his attitude towards Chu Li changed completely.
In less than a quarter of an hour, His Highness's attitude changed greatly. His attitude towards Chu Li was like an enemy...
The attitude from love to hatred seems to be too fast, and on the way back, His Highness always gave people a feeling that strangers should not enter...
Zhang Shiwei didn't know what happened, but his intuition told him that His Royal Highness was not in the right state, so after reporting on the prison, he expressed his feelings again.
Qi Heng's expression was uneasy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After Zhang Shiwei finished his report, he knelt quietly on the ground, waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince's instructions.
Qi Heng didn't think for a long time. After pondering for a while, he only fined Zhang Shiwei and the others a few months' salary, and then sent them out.
After everyone left, Qi Heng sat in the study for a while, and after carefully reviewing Zhang Shiwei's words, Qi Heng noticed something was wrong, he stood up abruptly, and walked towards the east palace. go outside.
Qi Wang is an innocent and kind person. Even though he has taught Qi Wang a lot during this period, his changes are limited. How can a person change his temperament drastically in a short period of time? According to what Zhang Shiwei said, Qi Wang seemed to have changed completely, which was obviously abnormal.
Could it be that he was too stimulated, so his temperament changed drastically
Qi Heng didn't take a sedan chair, and almost trotted all the way to the Longevity Palace. The attendants who followed him were not physically strong enough to keep up with Qi Heng's pace even if they were trotting.
After a while, Qi Heng arrived outside the Longevity Palace. He happened to meet Pei Chen who came out of the Longevity Palace, and asked, "Pei Chen, what is your Highness doing?"
Pei Chen gave a salute, and then said: "Reporting to Your Highness, after your Highness came back, he has been staying in the study, as if he was painting."
Qi Heng asked again: "Is there anything wrong with him?"
Pei Chen shook his head, and said, "No, the little Highness looked quite normal when he came back, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it."
Qi Heng didn't continue to ask, and waved his hand to signal Pei Chen to leave, while he quickly walked into the Longevity Palace.
The crown prince came and went in a hurry, Pei Chen was a little confused, he glanced in the direction of the study with some worry, but in the end he still didn't follow.
His Highness the Crown Prince has already passed away. Naturally, His Royal Highness has countless people to care about him. He only needs to do his own thing well.
After taking a last look at the direction of the study, Pei Chen withdrew his gaze, turned around and strode away.
The study room in the Longevity Palace is very large. Qi Wangqin, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient in everything, but what he is best at is his superb painting skills. Shang Wanqing worshiped him as a teacher before because of his unique painting skills.
The study room is very large, and there are many picture scrolls hanging on the walls. These are all drawn by Qi Huan himself. The scrolls have people, objects and scenes, and they are basically drawn by him when he is in a good mood. People who are good at painting can integrate their emotions into the atmosphere through their brushes. Therefore, these paintings hanging on the wall are full of joyful emotions, which will make people feel much better when they look at them.
Qi Wang was standing by the desk and drawing with a brush. Sandalwood was burning in the gilded animal head incense burner in the corner. The faint scent of sandalwood permeated the air. The painting on the white rice paper was half finished. A portrait of a person, hair and clothes have been drawn, but the facial features have not been drawn for a long time, Qi Wang held the brush in his hand, but he didn't put the pen down for a long time.
The door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and a tall figure walked in from the door.
However, the person who was painting was obviously very engrossed and didn't notice that someone came in. The person walked all the way to the desk, and then he saw the unfinished portrait of the character on the table.
Although the facial features of the person in the painting were not painted, Qi Heng could recognize that the person in the painting was Chu Li, and he was dressed in the same clothes as when he was pretending to be a hunter.
This painting has not been completed, but Qi Heng can feel the emotions of pain, despair and sadness conveyed by the painter from the painting. Qi Wang's past paintings have always been positive, just looking at it will make people feel physically and mentally Pleasure, this is the first time I have drawn such a depressing painting.
Chu Li caused him too much harm. Originally, Qi Heng thought that Qi Wang had slowly walked out, but after seeing this painting, he found that Qi Wang had never been able to come out.
He was trapped in the love network fabricated by Chu Li, even if he knew that the other party was a liar, he couldn't get out.
"An'an, are you okay?"
Qi Heng's voice came from the side, and Qi Wang, who was in deep thought, came back to his senses, his hand trembled, and the ink from the tip of the pen dripped down on the rice paper, and the facial features that had not been painted were covered. The ink was smudged black.
The place where the facial features are located is soaked in ink, even if you want to remedy it, there is no way to remedy it.
"An'an, are you okay?"
Seeing that Qi Wang's expression seemed a bit wrong, Qi Heng was a little worried, and asked again.
Qi Wang didn't speak, he stared at the discarded painting on the desk for a long time, then stretched out his hand, and saw that the ink-stained painting was torn into pieces.
Qi Wang's demeanor was too clean and neat, Qi Heng didn't even realize it, the drawing paper had already been torn to pieces by him.
"An'an..."
After getting in close contact with him, Qi Heng knew why Zhang Shiwei said that Qi Wang's state was wrong. Although the person standing in front of him was still the same person, it felt a little wrong, as if his insides had already changed. It's like a different person.
Qi Heng felt a little depressed, so he shouted again.
Qi Wang threw the shredded paper in his hand into the shredded paper bucket next to him, and then he looked up at Qi Heng.
"Brother, why are you here? Have everything been dealt with?"
Qi Wang's tone was the same as in the past, it seemed that he was still the innocent, kind and scheming boy.
Seeing him like this, Qi Heng felt a little uncomfortable.
"An'an, if you are unhappy, tell your brother, and he will help you solve everything."
So you don't need to hide yourself, just show your truest side.
Qi Huang smiled and said: "Brother, I'm fine, really, I recently developed a new painting technique, if brother is fine, how about I show it to you?"
After saying these words, Qi Wang didn't wait for Qi Heng to answer, he spread a new piece of drawing paper, and then started to paint with a brush.
He painted very fast, within a short time, a vivid figure appeared on the paper, and the person he drew was Qi Heng standing beside him.
But with just a few strokes, he outlined a vivid figure. After finishing the painting, Qi Wang felt that something was missing, so he simply added a few more strokes, and added a slightly shorter figure beside Qi Heng in the painting. Some silhouettes.
"Brother, what do you think of my painting? Does the person in the painting look like you and me?"
Qi Wang obviously didn't want to talk more, and deliberately avoided his topic, so Qi Heng didn't continue to ask, but shifted his attention to the drawing paper.
Qi Heng's painting skills can only be said to be average, but his appreciation level is not bad. From his point of view, the painting made by Qi Wang can be called a top-notch work.
"An'an, your painting skills seem to have improved again."
Qi Wang put the paintbrush in his hand aside, smiled and said: "I am idle, I like to think about it, it can be regarded as a way to pass the time, brother, I have learned a few new pastries recently, if you have nothing to do, I can cook it for you."
If you only look at the surface, Qi Wang is normal, but the two have been brothers for many years, Qi Heng knows Qi Wang very well, the more normal he behaves at this time, the more abnormal he is.
It's just that he couldn't say anything at this time, after chatting with Qi Wang for a while, he said that he had something to do, and found an excuse to leave the Longevity Palace.
After leaving Longevity Palace, Qi Heng didn't go back to East Palace, but went directly to Yukun Palace to find the queen.
Knowing that the queen was worried about Qi Wang, Qi Heng didn't hide Qi Wang's situation, but told the queen everything that happened before.
"Queen, there's something wrong with An An's situation, but he doesn't want to tell his son, maybe you have gone, and An An is willing to chat with you."
After listening to what the eldest son said, the queen was furious. She glared at Qi Heng and said, "Heng'er, you are so confused. Can you not know what kind of character An An is? How did you agree to let him Go to a place like Heavenly Prison? The prince of the Chu Kingdom has evil intentions and is uneasy and kind. You just need to deal with him directly. As long as he dies, An An will not miss it, but you still... "
Seeing Qi Heng's face full of guilt, the queen couldn't say the next thing.
In fact, Qi Heng can't be blamed for this matter, the queen just turned on him in anger, as the prince of the East Palace, Qi Heng has too many things to do, how can he have so much time to take care of this younger brother
"Okay, I can't blame you for this matter. Go and do your work. I'll take care of An'an, so don't worry."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After learning about Qi Wang's affairs, the queen was not in a hurry to see Qi Wang, she thought to take a break for two days, and then go to have a good chat with him and explain to him when Qi Wang's mood has recovered.
However, that night, Qi Wang developed a high fever.
After getting the news, Queen Qi and Qi Heng rushed to the Longevity Palace with the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said that Qi Huang's condition was serious and his high fever persisted. Even if he was cured, he might have sequelae.
After hearing what the imperial doctor said, the queen almost fainted—how did her child suffer so many disasters? This is simply a wave of ups and downs, and when will it end
The long night was spent amidst the worries of the three giants of Qi, and when the sky turned white, Qi Wang's high fever finally subsided.
When Qi Huang woke up, the three of them, Queen Qi and Qi Heng, finally knew what the sequelae the imperial doctor said were.
