The little girl hides her secrets

The second prince was miserable, and it was not easy to have a fit, so he could only back away while covering up, and Yun Yao stopped when he got to the bedside.

At that time, the second prince was already bruised and swollen, and he didn't care about Yun Yao's claim that he was a wild boar, so he quietly went out to treat the wound.

Of course, he didn't leave after he went out, but asked his servants to prepare another wing room.

After all, he hasn't lived enough.

The next morning, Yun Yao looked at the empty bed as he wished, and frowned in disgust, planning to find an excuse to change the quilt.

In the palace, Yu Anzheng and several other princes were kneeling beside the dragon bed, and behind them were the queen and all the concubines.

Empress Xie Wan said: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has already said that you have been working too much on state affairs recently, and you have hurt your vitality. You need to take a good rest."

"Yes, father." The third prince Chen Xianzhong showed a worried expression and persuaded earnestly: "No matter what happens, your dragon body is the most important. Only when you are healthy and healthy can Xigan prosper."

On the bed, the old emperor with cloudy eyes did not show joy because of his son's concern. He stroked his dry and gray hair and said in a deep voice: "The country cannot live without a king, and I cannot rest. Otherwise, who will maintain the government?"

As soon as he said this, the crowd kneeling down suddenly fell silent. After a long while, the queen leaned forward, gently held the emperor's hand and said, "Your Majesty, you have so many excellent princes who can share the political affairs for you. Maybe You can appoint a crown prince, and let him take care of the government temporarily, and all the ministers in the court will assist you."

She smiled sincerely, and although the traces of time could be seen on her face, she was still more than ten years younger than the old emperor.

The old emperor looked at his first wife, with no expression of joy or anger, and asked, "Which prince does the empress think is suitable to be the crown prince?"

This question stunned the queen for a moment. She never expected that the emperor would suddenly throw the question to her. She paused for two seconds before saying: "This kind of important matter is not up to the concubine, but in the eyes of the concubine, the third prince He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable at a young age, and he has completed all the affairs entrusted to him by His Majesty very well, so he is a good candidate."

Hearing this, Chen Xianzhong blessed Fushen even more respectfully, but he was secretly nervous.

The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the empress with a bad expression.His eyes flicked back and forth between the empress and the third prince, and suddenly asked: "Do other people think the same way?"

"Your Majesty." Concubine Duan said boldly, "Your Majesty is only in poor health, and will recover after a while of rest. I think there is no rush to establish a crown prince at this time."

As soon as these words came out, the queen was shocked, she scolded Concubine Duan thousands of times in her heart, and said: "I don't mean that, I just worry that if the prince acting as an agent of the government will not be able to convince the public."

The old emperor rubbed his temples, and the age spots on his face swayed slightly with his movements. He said in a cold and vicissitudes voice: "No one is allowed to mention the matter of establishing a crown prince in the future. Anyone who mentions this matter, I will not forgive you lightly."

Everyone agreed, and the queen lowered her head, feeling the special attention from above her head, and her whole body shivered.

The old emperor continued: "I can still handle part of the government affairs, and I plan to distribute the remaining part to the four princes, which can be regarded as a guarantee for the government affairs."

Hearing what he said, everyone didn't dare to say any more. After a while, they were kicked out by the old emperor, and only a few princes stayed behind to listen to his orders.

After all, the empress confiscated her expression, and approached Concubine Duan after leaving the emperor's bedroom, and said in a very low voice: "Are you trying to put this palace to death?"

"How could it be?" Concubine Duan frowned, without much fear of the queen, and said, "This concubine is helping the queen, don't tell me you want the third prince to follow the old path of the prince."

"Although Concubine Jing passed away early and His Royal Highness the Third Prince was adopted under the name of the Empress Empress, but the adopted son is also a son. The Empress Empress is so anxious to push him to a high position, I'm afraid she didn't take the safety of the Third Prince into consideration and would make him feel cold. heart."

Concubine Duan said, ignoring the queen's gloomy expression, bowed slightly, turned around and left.

The Xie family has always been like this, each one is arbitrary, Prime Minister Xie in the court hall is like this, the queen is also like this, knowing that His Majesty is suspicious, but he is sure that he can't touch the Xie family, and has no intention of bowing his head at all.

The results of it?Wasn't the first prince pushed into the battlefield and finally died at the border.

The queen pursed her lips, clenched her fists under her sleeves, and her mood was extremely complicated.

Of course she knew the emperor's fear. The older the emperor was, the more he was afraid of death, and he was also afraid that others would rob him of his things.But his body is getting weaker and weaker. If he doesn't establish a crown prince, once he dies, the imperial capital will inevitably be in chaos. How can the princes not fight to the death.

She sighed softly, her whole body frowning, recalling her young and vigorous self, she left with a pale face.

In the emperor's bedroom, several princes were still kneeling on the ground, waiting for the emperor's will.

The emperor asked the eunuch to help him down, and sat at the table, not knowing what he was drawing. After a long while, he said: "Let the second prince take care of the sacrifice. After a while, the Hu family will come and surrender. It is inconvenient for me to move. Reception I'll leave their affairs to the third prince, and "

The old emperor said everything, but most of them were the rights he had to assign. Several people listened carefully. After a long while, the old emperor asked: "Do you have any objections?"

"Father." Yu An said in the tone of the second prince: "I don't want to manage the sacrifices, I just want to stay with Father and take care of him until Father is fully recovered."

The old emperor looked at Yu An carefully, and said, "Sacrificing sacrifices is a major national event. This is a good opportunity to practice. If you evade it, aren't you afraid that I will punish you for your crime?"

Yu An looked at the old emperor frankly, and said: "I know this well, but there will be opportunities to practice in the future. I am worried about the health of my father, and I am afraid that I will be absent-minded when doing things. If I make a mistake in the sacrifice, what will happen?" It cannot be undone.”

The third prince and the others were all fooled by his actions, and they didn't understand when the second child could pretend so well.

The old emperor said: "Since that's the case, the second prince will stay in the palace, and the sacrifices will also be handed over to the third prince."

"Yes, royal father." The third prince answered with a bow of his head, his surface still calm and composed.

The old emperor still stared at the second prince, but no matter how he looked at it, he did not have any regrets, he was as calm as water, with no waves in his eyes, and he didn't look like he was lying.

The old emperor knew that this group of sons all had evil intentions, but now he really couldn't see what the second prince was planning.

However, in fact, Yu An just wanted the old emperor to get well soon so that he could go back as soon as possible. If he managed the sacrifices, things would become troublesome.
