Chapter 4943: The Strange Thing About Qi Xingming's Mem

    

back in his mouth, but didn't smoke. His eyebrows were furrowed together tightly, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.Looking back on my younger years, I started working for a living in...Since being reappointed as the idle prince, Qi Xingchen has taken control of the Imperial Household Department, and many royal relatives have become more compliant.

Qi Xingchen might have had thoughts of vying for the throne with Qi Xingyun back then, but after all those years of storms and turmoil, he simply wanted a stable and peaceful life, no longer dwelling on such things.

And these years, seeing younger brother Qi Xingyun's day and night hard work, I secretly felt a sense of relief in my heart.

If he had taken that position back then, he might have been the busiest one.

Having grown accustomed to a life of leisure and affluence, his edges had been smoothed over considerably.

Perhaps this is also why Qixingyun felt at ease with him.

The backyard.

A courtyard with ancient maple trees was remarkably serene, but its surroundings were heavily guarded.

Qi Xingchen pushed the wheelchair, slowly coming in.

He wasn't unable to stand, just that he walked rather unsteadily, and sitting down was clearly more comfortable.

As he neared the wooden door, he slowly rose from his wheelchair and gently knocked.

"Come in, the door is open."

This is a tricky one! It looks like you're asking me to translate the text between the "" tags, but there's nothing actually *in* those tags. Could you please double-check your input Make sure there's some text between the tags that needs translating. Let me know if you have any other questions!

A hoarse, tearing voice came from inside.

"Big brother, how have you been these days" Qi Xingchen smiled and limped into the room.

Upon entering, one's gaze fell upon a tall man clad in roughspun garments. However, his eyes lacked focus, and his hair was exceedingly long, cascading down past his shoulders.

"It's whatever, the same old thing. It's not bad to be able to keep this life." The man's voice was very flat, his words like sandpaper.

No one knows, this seemingly withered old man is actually Qi Xingming, the eldest prince of that year.

"Brother, you shouldn't harbor resentment. I don't understand why the Emperor would keep General Guan here." Qi Xingchen sighed.

After being thrown into the water prison, Qi Xingming was never punished by Qi Xingyun. Logically speaking, he should have been given a cup of poisoned wine and killed. Given Qi Xingming's crimes, it was absolutely impossible for him to survive in the world.

But Qi Xingyun only imprisoned him, but did not kill him completely. This really puzzled Qi Xingchen.

Later, after being imprisoned in the water dungeon for a long time, Qi Xingming's eyes lost their light and he could no longer see. His face was also covered in wrinkles.

"Ideas Killing me would be the easiest, but also the most boring, I suppose. He keeps me around, to prove to me that only he can end the war and bring prosperity back to Great Qi."

Qi Xingming let out a cold snort, his voice laced with a hint of desolation.

“Nowadays, my eyes cannot see and my body is frail. I’m not living for long, but Qi still remains divided. Where is his proof Where is it Is he truly stronger than me”

"Big brother, be careful with your words and deeds here, it's not private," Qi Xingchen reminded.

"It's okay, I was just telling him. He definitely knows what I mean."

Qi Xingming coughed a few times, his face slightly pale. He's been feeling under the weather lately with a bit of wind-cold, and his body hasn't been doing well.

"Big brother, what's the point of this" Qi Xingchen sighed.

"Hmph, what can Qi Xingyun possibly do that I can't My child is gone, so what use am I to keep around It's obvious." Qi Xingming sneered.

"Let bygones be bygones, big brother. Some strange things have been happening lately..."

Qi Xingchen quickly changed the subject. If he let Qi Xingming continue, he might not live through the night. Although Qi Xingyun probably wouldn't care, no one could guess what was going on in his mind.

After all, the Qi Xingyun of that year was the most vicious and cunning prince, who was best at playing tricks.

After becoming emperor, he was even more cunning and ambitious.

He was a man with a criminal record. Now, he had grown accustomed to a leisurely life and didn't want any suspicion to ruin his peaceful existence, endangering the lives of his whole family.

"What's going on" Qi Xingming narrowed his eyes.

>

“Controlling court officials and nobles with poison…,” Qi Xingchen simply said, but he didn’t go into detail. He didn't say which specific people were controlled, not even one.

"Are you doubting me" Qi Xingming asked.

"How is that possible I just wanted to ask you, do you have any special information that could lighten the sentence a bit" Qi Xingchen said.

"What use is leniency to me" Qi Xingming's eyes held a hint of mockery.

"Perhaps, we could have the younger brother look for the elder brother's child" Qi Xingchen pondered for a moment before finally saying.

Qi Xingming is a big trouble. When Qi Xingyun brought him out of the water prison and placed him in the idle prince's mansion, who knows what he was thinking.

If he proactively provided more clues, perhaps Qixingyun would have fewer guesses about Qixingming, and he himself would live more peacefully.

"Could it be" Qi Xingming's eyes lit up.

Qi Xingming didn't quite believe it. A crime like his, a case of losing and gaining the throne, would have resulted in the confiscation of property and annihilation of his entire lineage throughout history. He and his legitimate children wouldn't survive.

But now, he is still alive, and his children have only been exiled, not killed.

But where the exile went, only Qixingyun knew, others were completely unaware.

"How is that impossible, big brother, you're still here, aren't you How can you know the results if you don't try" Qi Xingchen persuaded.

"Let me think about it, some things I can't even remember anymore."

Qi Xingming reached out and rubbed his forehead. He had been feeling unwell lately, catching colds frequently. His memory wasn't as sharp as it used to be either, often experiencing confusing hallucinations.

As for past matters, they are even more confusing.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Let me think... Oh, right. I remember a few years ago, a wealthy jewelry merchant from the north of the city came to me and offered to pay me respects, something very common."

“I have a subordinate who found out that the wealthy merchant was already dead before he looked for me. However, only his concubine knew about it, and she is somewhat related to my subordinate.”

"Well, that's the strange thing about it. Later on, word got out that the wealthy businessman died at home."

"Alright, big brother, I'll tell my younger brother about this lead and see if it helps." Qi Xingchen said, "Is there anything else"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

“I can’t remember, let me think about it…”

Qixingming rubbed his temples with force, but his expression was troubled, and there were no new developments.

“Alright then, let’s do it that way. Big brother, you rest first, I’m going.”

Qi Xingchen turned and left.

Close the door, Qi Xingming closed his eyes together, obscured in the dim light, as if a chill ran through him.

This winter is really too cold.

After leaving Qixingming's residence, Qixingchen quickly returned to his own hall and immediately sent out the news. As long as he informed the hidden guards, someone would naturally investigate and gather evidence.

>

As for his manor, he believed the Emperor had placed many spies within it, and that none of his moves could escape His Majesty's notice.

In fact, he had nothing to hide.

When your heart is at ease, you naturally feel more at peace.

However, he not only sent a copy to the Hidden Guard, but also to the Dark Guard, which could be directly seen by Yang Ruqing.

Perhaps Yang Ruqing might be able to see something there.
