famous eldest daughter

Chapter 1116 Mind

Xiao Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and as his thoughts deepened, dark clouds formed in his eyes.

A paper fan with twelve fractures was held tightly in his left hand, and he tapped the palm of his right hand time and again as he thought.

Standing with his back turned, on the table behind him, candles burst out from time to time, making popping sounds.

Father... If that day comes, don't blame me!
……

After Xiao Rui left, King Nan'an's study fell into dead silence.

A section of white wax had long since burned to the end. In the not-too-large room, only the moon that had broken through the clouds shone clear light, sparsely spreading over half of the floor.

Indulging in the large chair, King Nan'an looked gloomy and his eyes were a little weak.

Among his many sons, Xiao Rui is the most outstanding one.

Wen Tao Wu Lue, proficient in everything.

The scheming city and wise strategies are more than enough compared to those counselors and disciples.

Although he took the lead in this matter of seizing the throne, the implementation and deployment of various matters were all from Xiao Rui's hands.

He is so proud of his son.

But... the premise of his pride is that this son can only be used by him, but he can't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Raising children is like raising flowers.

Trim off the excess and keep what you want. This is the way to grow flowers. How can you allow wild flowers to grow randomly!
What's more, even though Xiao Rui is excellent, deep down he has absorbed all the indifference, cruelty and ruthlessness of him and his mother and concubine.

He couldn't even compare to this.

If that happens, Xiao Rui will definitely attack him mercilessly.

……

There was a ray of light in the eyes of the sinister bird. King Nan'an took a deep breath, raised his hand to pick up the long-cooled Biluochun on the table in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.

The teacup hit the table heavily, and with a "bang" sound, King Nan'an opened his mouth and said: "From now on, you will keep an eye on the Crown Prince all the time, and report all his actions to me verbatim."

After a night of silence, King Nan'an's voice was hoarse and low.

There was no one in the study room. As he finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed past. On the marble floor illuminated by the moonlight, a man in gray robes stood.

"I obey!" He held his fists and accepted the order. Just as he appeared in a flash, his words fell and he disappeared suddenly like a ghost.

This was his private secret guard, and Xiao Rui didn't know about it.

After the order was issued, King Nan'an's heart, which had been dull for a long time, finally calmed down.

Fighting with him... Humph, I hope you don't have that intention, otherwise...

What I don’t lack most is my son!

After ascension to the throne, there are countless concubines in the Sangong and Six Courts, how can he be short of heirs?

He is now in his prime, and it will probably take at least 20 years before a new emperor is chosen to ascend the throne.

20 years is enough for him to train any infant into a crown prince!

……

He didn't sleep all night, and early the next morning, King Nan'an was about to get up from his chair to rest with red eyes, when the boy outside the door knocked on the door to report.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Doctor Zhou are here."

Across the door, after a night of ups and downs in his mind, when he heard Xiao Rui again, King Nan'an couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart. A cold light appeared in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

Frowning slightly, Doctor Zhou is here...

"Let them in!" King Nan'an said after sitting down again.

According to their previous plan, Dr. Zhou entered the palace yesterday to poison the emperor.

If he succeeds, the news that the damn emperor has passed away will come out at this moment.

As the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Zhou was naturally unable to leave the palace.

Since he is here, the mission has failed!
ass!

Cursing in his mind, the door was opened.

Xiao Rui came in first.

He greeted him as usual, turned around and sat down on his usual chair, put the folding fan in his hand casually, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

It looked like nothing happened yesterday.

King Nan'an couldn't help but look at him deeply and suspiciously.

Before his eyes left Xiao Rui, he heard Doctor Zhou's slightly trembling reply.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die for not completing your mission!"

Doctor Zhou stood there with shame on his face, waiting for King Nan'an to scold him.

"Why are you here together?" King Nan'an turned to look at Dr. Zhou and asked calmly.

Xiao Rui listened and snorted in his heart. He really didn't have any worries!
The Imperial Physician Zhou was also taken aback, ah... In astonishment, he raised his head and looked at the King of Nan'an, met his eyes with the King of Nan'an, and confirmed that he had heard correctly. , so we met at the door."

King Nan'an curled his lips slightly, there would be such a coincidence!

His eyes seemed to glance at Xiao Rui.

When Doctor Zhou was speaking, Xiao Ruizheng lowered his head casually and blew the foam from the tea cup in his hand.

The tea was dense, forming a thin wall of fog between him and King Nan'an, making it difficult for King Nan'an to see his expression clearly.

With a slight gaze, King Nan'an turned to look at Imperial Physician Zhou. In any case, the matter of seizing the throne was crucial right now.

"What's going on?" He asked Imperial Physician Zhou in a low voice, but with a cold air that oppressed people's minds.

Dr. Zhou had a cold sweat on his forehead. After hearing the news, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, it's really not that I didn't try my best. I haven't seen the emperor at all since I entered the palace on duty yesterday and left the palace today!"

With his head lowered, Dr. Zhou didn't dare to see King Nan'an.

King Nan'an raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean you didn't see it? As the imperial physician on duty, according to the usual practice, you are not going to ask for Ping An's pulse from the emperor, so how come you didn't see it?"

Doctor Zhou looked aggrieved and said, "As soon as I entered the palace, Concubine Hui invited me over. She said that I had an upset stomach and asked me to take a look."

Naturally, he did not dare to refute what Concubine Hui said, and he had no reason to refute it.

"You are not good at reproducing fetuses, what did she ask you to do!" King Nan'an was quite dissatisfied.

Doctor Zhou smiled bitterly in his heart... Why did she invite me? How could I know?
"After that, you shouldn't stay with Concubine Hui all the time, right?"

Dr. Zhou's eyelids twitched, "Your Majesty is aware that I... I have indeed been staying at Concubine Hui's place."

King Nan'an's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Doctor Zhou hurriedly explained, "She is the master. She didn't say anything to ask me to leave. How could I leave?"

Xiao Rui listened and gradually realized something was wrong, "Were you in Concubine Hui's palace from the beginning to the end yesterday?"

Doctor Zhou nodded immediately, "Your Majesty is aware of this, but I can't do anything!"

Xiao Rui turned to Prince Nan'an and said, "Father, why do you think that Concubine Hui intends to keep Imperial Doctor Zhou here?"

Doctor Zhou immediately laughed and said, "Sir, please stop joking. What is Concubine Hui doing if you leave me behind?"

King Nan'an knew that there was something in Xiao Rui's words, so he thought for a moment and said, "If she keeps you, you won't have time to go to the emperor!"

Putting aside the previous grudges, King Nan'an felt more and more that Xiao Rui's words were reasonable!

Doctor Zhou...
