Chapter 169 I Want Qiao Rongjin to Die
Qi Heng heard this, thought for a while and said, "This is not my decision, but I can help you come up with the other two. What are they?"
When Chen heard what Qi Heng said, she was instantly dissatisfied. "I must have the 20% profit from papermaking. If you can't make the decision, then just pretend that I didn't mention this matter today."
Hearing this, Qi Heng looked at Chen deeply, pondered for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, I can promise you that after the papermaking technology is successfully produced, I will give you 20% profit." 20% profit, the emperor should be able to accept it. Moreover, if the papermaking technology is successfully produced in the future, whether Chen can keep the 20% profit is another matter.
After hearing this, Chen was satisfied.
Humph! She knew that if she didn't say this, she would definitely not get the share she deserved. She had made the decision of 20% profit despite the pain. She originally wanted 40% profit, but she thought that Qi Heng would definitely give it to Emperor Jingyuan, so Emperor Jingyuan would definitely not give her 40% profit. And even if he gave it to her, Qi Heng would definitely not agree to the following two conditions, so she could only ask for 20% profit.
"Since the prince said so, how about we write it down in black and white and sign and put our fingerprints on it as evidence?" She thought that a verbal agreement would be enough. She was not that stupid!
Qi Heng glanced at Chen, was silent for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, then you write it."
Chen didn't expect him to agree to her request so quickly. She thought it would take a lot of thought, but he agreed so suddenly that she couldn't react. "...Oh, okay."
However, Chen soon felt embarrassed because her calligraphy was not good enough, so she could only say, "You should write it."
Qi Heng didn't say much, he took it directly, picked up the pen and wrote it down quickly, and wrote two copies according to Chen's request. After finishing, he pushed the paper over and said in a low voice with suppressed impatience, "Is it ready?"
Chen picked it up and read it carefully. She found that there were no traps and it was all written according to her own ideas. She was quite satisfied and looked at Qi Heng with a much gentler look. "Okay."
"Since that's ok, then sign as you said."
Chen signed without hesitation, pressed her fingerprint, and then looked at Qi Heng, meaning it was your turn.
Qi Heng took the paper and signed his name in two quick strokes. He also planned to put his fingerprints on it like Chen did, but unexpectedly Chen stopped him.
"My lord, please wait!"
Qi Heng's face turned cold and he did everything according to what she said. He had been patient enough to accompany her to finish this scene. Now there are so many things to do. Does she really think she has control over him?
Seeing Qi Heng looking at her coldly, Chen felt a little uncomfortable, but she still remembered what she was doing, so she said stubbornly, "Your Majesty, please stamp your exclusive seal."
Hearing this, Qi Heng took out his own seal and stamped it without even looking at Chen.
"In duplicate, this is yours, and I'll keep mine."
Qi Heng looked at the paper that Chen handed over but didn't take it. He just looked at her with a half-smile. Chen didn't get angry either. The high and mighty prince was controlled by her and followed her instructions obediently. It was normal for him to have some emotions. So she said to herself, "Then, let's talk about the other two conditions."
"The second condition is that I want you to rescue my family and reinstate them." These days, the people Chen feels most sorry for are her family. They did nothing wrong, but were exiled because of her. Thinking about her parents' aged bodies, how could they endure in such a bitter and cold place, she must save them.
Firstly, she felt sorry for her family members who were suffering there, and secondly, she was in need of people right now, and there was no one around her who could be used. If things continued like this, how could she kill Qi You and support her son to sit on the throne? So her family members had to come back. They were naturally of the same faction as her, so she could rest assured in using them.
This request was not a problem at all for the man in front of him.
The official was reinstated. Did she think that the official position had been waiting for her family? Besides, these were prisoners exiled by the emperor's order. How could she think they could come back?
Qi Heng said coldly, "Change one."
He now feels that Chen is really stupid. He is a prince, but he cannot cover everything with one hand. Moreover, that person is a prisoner exiled by his father's order. Can he destroy his own father for the sake of irrelevant people?
Hearing this, Chen sneered and said, "Okay, then there is no need for us to talk anymore. Your Highness, just pretend that I have never been here." After that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Qi Heng sneered and said calmly, "Jiang Liu."
As soon as Chen finished speaking, he was blocked by a man in tight clothes in front of him. Who else could this man be but Jiang Liu?
Chen was shocked. She turned around and looked at Qi Heng. Her face was pale and there was some disbelief in her eyes. "What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Qi Heng looked at her and said in a cold voice, "What do you think? There are still two conditions. Think carefully. I can listen to you talk about the conditions here because you gave birth to Qi Zhao. Otherwise, do you think you can stand in front of me and negotiate the conditions?"
Hearing this, Chen's face turned pale instantly, and the way she looked at Qi Heng changed.
Yes, this is a feudal dynasty, not the modern era. In this dynasty where the emperor wants his subjects to die, they have to die. Relying on the fact that she was once someone Qi Heng cared about, she habitually did a series of actions that could be described as rebellion. She forgot that Qi Heng had changed after he took her back. He was no longer the Qi Heng who used to do whatever he wanted with her.
"Hurry up and tell me. I am busy with affairs and my patience is limited." Qi Heng said coldly when he saw Chen's expression change.
Chen knew that she could only change the conditions.
"Okay, for the second condition, I can give in. I can't bear to see my family suffer there and do hard work every day. I don't ask them to be reinstated and return to Shengjing, but you have to help them get rid of their criminal records and become good citizens. If you don't agree, no matter what you do, I will not give you the prescription." Chen said firmly. This was the biggest concession she could make.
Although her family could not come to Shengjing, she still planned to save them. After all, they suffered because of her.
Qi Heng looked at Chen's expression and said coldly, "Okay, I can agree to your second condition. Tell me your third condition."
Hearing this, Chen lowered her head, a strong murderous intent flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she raised her head and said in a cold voice, "I want Qiao Rongjin to die."
If she couldn't kill Qi You, then it would be the same to get rid of Qiao Rongjin first. Qi You was the heir of King Rui, and if she wanted to kill him, she could only do it slowly in the future. Qiao Rongjin certainly hadn't completely captured Qi Heng's heart yet, so it was best to take action now. Otherwise, things would change if she delayed. With Qiao Rongjin's looks and her ability to pretend, it was only a matter of time before she captured Qi Heng. By then, she would definitely be the biggest stumbling block for her to kill Qi You. Also, she was now a cripple, and it was definitely Qiao Rongjin's fault, so she must die!
"Ah!" Chen screamed in pain, and then was thrown far away by a strong wind like a kite with a broken string, and then fell to the ground. With a "puff", a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief and looked at Qi Heng, who was as terrifying as a Rakshasa in front of her.
