Chapter 190 Suspicion
As for whether to punish the war king or the national teacher, the emperor has never made a conclusion.This is what officials discussed most in private.

In front of people, both He Lanliu and King Qi kept a low profile and never talked about this matter too much.He Lanliu smiled and said: "It seems that the prince knows how to direct the wind without our intervention."

Bei Changyan Wenwen said: "Of course, this is a rare opportunity for the crown prince." The crown prince undoubtedly led the remarks made by the court against the national teacher.

He Lanliu said: "Will the emperor take action against Jiu Yuan this time? If it had been in the past, he would have accused Jiu Yuan the first time."

"Yeah, this time should be enough for the emperor to be entangled. In the current situation, no matter which side is alone, it is not good for the emperor. Xuan Ming said that the demon girl he captured should be executed for refining the corpse, and the zombie has already been killed by him. I dealt with it myself, but now that zombie can escape from Yintian Palace, I know whether Xuan Ming has deceived the emperor. What's more, if he disobeys the imperial decree and tampers with the imperial order, will the emperor still trust him as before?" Speaking of this, Bei Changyan smiled, "The emperor is always suspicious by nature, isn't he? The emperor knows in his heart that it is precisely because Brother Jiu is fearless that Xuan Ming is so afraid. If the emperor takes Brother Jiu first this time, maybe On the contrary, I feel even more uneasy. Once Brother Nine is away, if Xuan Ming has a different heart in the future, who can deal with Xuan Ming."

He Lanliu nodded and said yes, "It's impossible for the emperor not to understand, otherwise it's impossible for him to remain silent for so many days. The emperor neither opened up with Xuan Ming nor asked Xuan Ming to continue to track down the whereabouts of the zombies. He must have doubts about Xuan Ming." Sighing, he said again, "Jiu Yuan is really taking too much risk this time, but fortunately, it seems like a blessing in disguise."

Bei Changyan said: "It's a pity that I couldn't help, if I could help a little, he wouldn't have to fight alone." He said bitterly, "This time, God must have mercy on my ninth brother. "

He Lanliu said: "Don't blame yourself so much, Jiuyuan will never want you to get into this muddy water. In the future, you may have more things to do and greater responsibilities."

Bei Changyan was noncommittal, and said: "Shanghai, people's hearts are unpredictable. During these years in the fiefdom, I found that I lived comfortably." He turned his head and smiled at He Lanliu, "But when you can't help yourself, you always find a way to go against the current But isn’t it? This opportunity is really rare, if Xuan Ming is easily let go, I don’t know when I will have this opportunity next time.”

Not only the crown prince felt it, but Bei Changyan also naturally knew that Xuanming had been Beiheng's national teacher for decades, if he and King Ming had a secret relationship with King Ming, Beiheng's future would be in dire straits.

After the small gathering, Bei Changyan bid farewell to He Lan for a while, and was going to enter the palace to inquire about the emperor's situation.These days the crown prince and King Ming served in front of the emperor one after another, obviously the emperor's attitude towards the crown prince was better than before, probably because he saw the crown prince's busy schedule.On the contrary, the emperor's attitude towards King Ming became somewhat indifferent.

With the Crown Prince and King Ming around, there was no such thing as King Qi.Bei Changyan knew that he didn't have a deep relationship with the emperor, so he didn't want to join in the fun.However, Concubine Shu insisted that he approach the emperor from time to time to show off, to let the emperor know that there was such a son as him.

This is not a difficult thing for Bei Changyan.It doesn't hurt to go to the palace more during this period of time.

Starting from Prince Qi's Mansion and preparing to enter the palace, before leaving, Prince Zhan's Mansion brought something to him and presented it in front of his eyes.He sat in the sedan chair and opened it to look, only to see some colorful stones inside.According to the person who spread the word, it was brought out of Yintian Temple.

Bei Changyan put away his things carefully, and calmly ordered someone to pick up the sedan chair.

After entering the palace, before reaching the emperor's bedroom, he first met two little princes and princesses who were playing in the imperial garden.Seeing Bei Changyan, the prince and princess also bowed to Bei Changyan in a proper manner, saying: "I have seen the twelve emperor brothers."

Bei Changyan paused, and he was no stranger to these two princes and princesses. Every year when he returned to court, he would bring back some gifts for the brothers and sisters in the royal family. Children like gifts, and gradually they also like him.

Bei Changyan was not in a hurry to visit the emperor, but first played with the two children in the imperial garden for a while, asked about their homework, and waited until the palace servants came to take the prince and princess away before he got up and went to the emperor's bedroom.

And the emperor seemed to have finally calmed down, and asked about the situation in Beichangyan's fief.

Soon, it will be the emperor's birthday, and the emperor is unhappy when he hears that his birthday is approaching.In previous years, every time he celebrated his birthday, he felt a sense of pride, that the world was in his hands, and immortality seemed to be at his fingertips.But this year is different, he was frightened and fell ill, he was out of breath, and his physical condition was not as good as before, as if all the suppressed corruption and decadence rebounded all at once, making it difficult for him to even say a few more words.

The imperial physician could not find out the reason, only that the emperor was diligent in government and loved the people, and some of them became sick from overwork.As long as you rest well, you can return to the way it was before.

The emperor didn't believe it, and he still wanted to ask the national teacher for the elixir.But Xuanming refused because the Yintian Temple was burned and the alchemy furnace was destroyed, and he could not make the elixir for the time being.

The emperor was furious, and cursed in the bedroom: "I haven't settled with him yet, but he won't let me go down the steps! If I don't deal with the King of War, I'm afraid he still won't be able to refine the elixir!"

It is true that Xuanming is no longer being used for a while, and he temporarily lives in an empty palace in a remote area, and the emperor has never let him go.He has been highly respected since becoming a national teacher, but he has never been so neglected and insulted.Although the ministers in the court were soliciting rumors, Xuan Ming knew very well in his heart that the emperor still needed him and couldn't do without him. It was only a matter of time before he finally compromised.

After all, the emperor was crazy about the pursuit of immortality.

Not only the older princes, but now that the emperor was finally free, the ladies of each palace brought their princes and princesses to pay their respects to the emperor.

It just so happened that the little prince and the young prince came to play in front of the emperor, holding colorful things in their little hands.The emperor took a second look and asked, "What is this? Where did it come from?"

The prince and princess offered it to the emperor as if offering a treasure, and said, "Father, this is the fairy stone, which I found from that fairy furnace. I heard that if you eat the elixir refined by this fairy stone, you can become a fairy."

Yintian Palace was burned to ruins, and it was understandable for the playful prince and princess to go there to play.

It's just that the emperor frowned when he heard the child's words, carefully looked at the stone in his hand, put it to his nose and smelled it, and smelled a slightly pungent smell.
