Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 58 King Wuning (2)

Xiao Yi personally helped Mo Yanxiao to the nearest imperial study room to rest for a while. The imperial doctor's report after the pulse diagnosis was nothing more than a cliché. After all, the status is high, the state affairs are heavy, and it is impossible to completely calm down, and even get twice the result with half the effort.Today, when I went out for a walk, I accidentally blew a cold wind, so I felt dizzy and short of breath for a while, but fortunately, it was not a serious problem.So he prescribed a prescription for concentrating and gathering energy, and went to order the decoction.

After Xiao Yi got rid of a group of palace people, Mo Yanxiao, who had been leaning on the soft couch with his eyes closed just now because he was too weak, opened his eyes, sat upright slowly, and sighed mockingly to himself: "I didn't expect that I would still be able to see you in my lifetime." It’s really ashamed to use this trick of pretending to be sick.”

Xiao Yi took a serious look at his face, feeling a little worried: "Although it is an expedient measure for acting, Master Mo must not be careless. What the imperial physician said just now..."

Mo Yanxiao put it aside with a nonchalant smile: "Your Majesty, don't you know? When they ask a doctor, three points are based on symptoms, and seven points are based on the situation. If necessary, it is not impossible to just tell me that I will die suddenly tonight. Just listen to it and forget it, it’s not true.”

However, in the past few years, half of the rare medicinal materials in the palace have been used on his body, but his condition has been repeated repeatedly without obvious improvement.For this injury, Xiao Yi collected a lot of panacea from strange people in the world. It is a bit exaggerated to bring the dead back to life, but as long as she is not terminally ill and cannot be saved, she should have recovered already. Why is there still little improvement?
Xiao Yi frowned, and before we could say anything more, Mo Yanxiao was serious: "We still underestimated King Wu Ning, we expected that he was taking Rong Di to commit crimes, and we wanted to make ourselves the head of the country and pass on to the successor of the king with a different surname. As a guarantee, he never expected that he would raise this matter in a grand manner as soon as he came up, and was caught off guard. In this way, if he could not give a satisfactory reply in time, it would be that the court treated him badly and gave him an excuse. Therefore, even if he prevaricates today, he will definitely not give up easily based on his threatening intentions. Can the Emperor make a decision on what to do next?"

"My decision..." Xiao Yi swayed back into the chair, looking like the sky had fallen and was being covered up: "Before Yueyue married me, there was no one in the harem except her. , not even a mouse can be a female!"

Mo Yanxiao:
Immediately, a voice was heard: "Oh, what about after that? Did you just accept the three thousand Fendai?"

Shocked, Xiao Yi hastily expressed his determination sonorously and forcefully: "From now on, as long as you are happy, it doesn't matter if we are the only living creatures in my harem!"

Xiao Yi pushed the door open and came in, glanced at him angrily, then turned to Mo Yanxiao anxiously: "Little Master, I heard that you fainted early in the morning, what's going on? Is it okay?"

Mo Yanxiao was stunned, helpless: "It's only been less than an hour, and the rumors are already so exaggerated? Don't worry, I'm still a little far away from fainting."

Xiao Yi said with a sour mouth: "It seems that the source of your pavilion master's news is not very accurate!"

Xiao Yi raised her eyebrows, and said, "Yes, otherwise, how could I be the last to know that the little princess has already fallen in love with the emperor at first sight, and the emperor has exchanged glances with her long ago?"

"Slander! This is blatant slander!" Xiao Yi jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Master Mo, you have to testify for me, Master Mo!"

Mo Yanxiao pursed his lips and thought for a while, looking embarrassed and earnest: "I have been recuperating in Wangmei Palace for the past two months, staying at home, and really not very clear about many things. I hope the emperor will forgive me." .”

Xiao Yi: "Hehe."

Xiao Yi: "Hey."

The three masters and apprentices dismantled each other for a while, laughed and laughed for a while, and finally discussed the business.

Xiao Yi: "According to the news report, Rong Di suddenly launched an attack this time. Nine out of ten, the regent intends to use foreign wars to stabilize his power in the court, in order to monopolize the military and political power. And the faction opposing him is trying to do everything possible. There is no way to obstruct it, and the situation is deadlocked. Therefore, whether to fight or not to fight this battle is still inconclusive.”

Mo Yanxiao: "Mr. Ding and I originally planned that there would be no major war within two years, so that the new army could be trained. If the war really started this time, the biggest reliance would still be the 20 private soldiers of King Wuning. Instead In other words, not only can we not offend King Wuning now, but we have to follow his wishes in everything."

Xiao Yi: "For the current plan, we can only pretend to be ignorant and deal with it first. Anyway, the old man only said that he must be in the right family, but he didn't say that it must be me."

At this time, Xiao Shu, who had just returned from the training ground of the Forbidden Army in military uniform, walked in hastily, ignoring the courtesies of the emperor and ministers first, and opened his mouth: "Master Mo..."

Mo Yanxiao interrupted him with a clear wave of his hand, and said softly, "Don't listen to rumors from outside, I'm fine."

Xiao Shu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Xiao Yi started pantothenic acid again: "Hmph!"

Xiao Shu was inexplicable.

Xiao Yi: "Brother, please ignore him. We are talking about who can match up with King Wuning. No matter what, we must first stabilize and then slowly find a way."

Xiao Shu pondered for a while, then shook his head: "His daughter is basically the only princess in my Great Chu. Logically, it should be a relative of the emperor who is a good match. Even if you take a step back, at least you have to be a general. Tang, the status is barely enough, the age is not good, and there are no candidates for the next generation's nephew. So, it is difficult."

Xiao Yi suddenly said coldly: "What's so difficult? There are not two suitable ones in this room?"

Xiao Shu was startled: "I was born in a merchant."

Xiao Yi proudly put his hands on his hips: "You are my brother-in-law, so it is only natural for me to make you a prince?"

Xiao Yi gently reminded: "Have you asked your foster father's opinion about making your foster brother king?"

Xiao Yi immediately froze, and had no choice but to cast a malicious look at Mo Yanxiao.

Lord Xiang took a sip of tea in his spare time, and then replied calmly: "My life will not last long."

As soon as this remark came out, it was a lore.

Xiao Yi: "Master Mo, I was just joking around, you don't have to curse yourself like this..."

Mo Yanxiao smiled: "The minister is just joking with the emperor."

Xiao Yi: "It's not funny at all."

Xiao Shu: "Yes."

Mo Yanxiao could only sigh at the frustration of his unsuccessful sense of humor.

Xiao Yi, who was stared at by Xiao Yi, shrank her neck, and Ai Ai paused for a while, and started to mutter nonsense in order to change the topic: "Hey, you said, if Father Zhong could leave me a few clansmen back then , now it’s not sure but it will come in handy, right?”

Before the words fell, a vigorous and rich voice suddenly sounded: "Is the emperor blaming the minister?"

Xiao Shu rubbed his nose, quite apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just forgot to say that Uncle Wei came with me, but I was worried about Master Mo, so I walked faster."

Xiao Yi froze, hiding his face in despair.

Although Xiao Yi's grandfather is not considered to have prosperous heirs, he is by no means thin in number. There are only four princes who have become kings.It's just that in order to fight for the high position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the several sons have been fighting each other for more than ten years, and the final result is that the old emperor is almost calculated to have no descendants.

If Xiao Yi hadn't been left in the folk by his father's spring breeze, he probably wouldn't even be able to get out of his mother's womb.

The first emperor fought against his brothers and won in the end, but he was also poisoned in his body, and within a year of ascending the throne, he exhausted the candle.

Dingguo Duke Wei Liu hugged the three-year-old little emperor sitting on the dragon chair and thought about it. He felt that it is not a good thing for brothers to kill each other. Although the current emperor in his arms has no real brothers, cousins ​​and cousins ​​are also bloodlines. Linked brothers aren't they?

So in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, Duke Ding, who was born as a warrior, slapped the table and turned Xiao Yi into a complete loner. All cut off contact.

This trick is undoubtedly simple and rude, but it is also the most effective.

Not to mention anything else, except for the occasional innocuous squabbles by the posthumous son of the third prince according to the legend, Da Chu, who has been a strong and suspicious ruler for so many years, has never had internal conflicts caused by the throne. .Xiao Yin's ability to sit on the throne, and Chu's ability to maintain a stable situation and even the country's prosperity and people's peace, have a lot to do with this.

Wei Liuquan has been in power for more than ten years. After Mo Yanxiao paid homage to the prime minister, he suddenly began to delegate power and gradually handed over political affairs to him.In the past year, he has become more and more lazy to ask about the government. Even the early courts rarely appear, and he only pretends to rely on the old and sell the old to the outside world, but in fact he only concentrates on the establishment of the new army.

To adoptive father Xiao Moyu, Xiao Yi did mention that it was like a mouse seeing a cat, but the root of this is actually the fear of naughty children towards their strict elders, mostly being close and coquettish.

As for his second father, Wei Liu, who single-handedly brought him up, Xiao Yi really respected him from the bottom of his heart.

That's why Xiao Yi is very desperate now, the kind of despair that makes his calves twist and his stomach turn bitter.
