The emperor secretly summoned Song Ling, a confidant minister, and said with a very serious expression: "Do you know what I am looking for you for?"

"The ministers are stupid, and please ask the emperor to say it directly," Song Ling and the others glanced at each other, shook their heads and said.

The emperor looked at everyone and frowned and said: "Presumably you also know that my body is getting worse day by day, I'm afraid time is running out, this time I called you here because you are all my confidants, the people I trust the most, I want to ask you to protect the seventh prince of Shen Zeyuan and let him succeed to the throne, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I understand, but I'm afraid what we say is not convincing, right?" Song Ling frowned and said the question in his heart.

The emperor was silent for a moment and said: "You are all people I trust, and the people above the court will definitely believe your words, as for the people who don't believe you, it is estimated that there are only the three princes of Shen Zecang, but you feel that you can't give in to him, so you changed your dictation, you can understand, otherwise I won't be blind to death." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our best to assist the Seventh Prince to succeed to the throne," Song Ling said with firmness in his eyes as he looked at the emperor.

The emperor smiled, seemed to be very relieved of what Song Ling said, and was silent for a moment and said, "It's not too early at this time, go back all who you should go back." ”

Everyone saw that the tired emperor nodded, and just when he was about to leave the palace, the emperor fell into a coma again, Song Ling was very flustered, and immediately ran forward to check.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Song Ling shook the Emperor who was in a coma and frowned.

"The emperor seems to be in a coma, let's ask the imperial doctor to come over. ”

"Yes, yes, otherwise we can't afford to delay the treatment time. ”

Song Ling nodded in agreement, walked out of the room and sent a message to the imperial doctor, at this time, Shen Zecang also returned to the palace, and learned that the emperor had summoned Song Ling and other henchmen after waking up, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart.

When Song Ling learned that Shen Zecang had returned to the palace, he frowned and looked at everyone: "The third prince is back, we must remember what the emperor said, don't succumb to the third prince, I believe he doesn't dare to do anything to us, understand?"

When everyone heard Song Ling say this, they promised to do their best.

Shen Zecang frowned when he saw Song Ling and the others in the emperor's bedroom, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Why is the Prime Minister in the palace, is something wrong?"

Song Ling looked at Shen Zecang and frowned, and smiled: "Naturally, I told the emperor some things, but by coincidence, the emperor fell into a coma before the third prince came back." ”

Shen Zecang looked at Song Ling and frowned, and for a while he didn't know if what Song Ling said was true or not.

"Oh, what did the emperor tell you?" Shen Zecang looked at everyone and smiled.

"Naturally, it's a matter of who is the prince, otherwise there will be something else," a minister who had long been unpleasant to Shen Zecang couldn't help but speak.

"Oh, is it? What can the father say, the candidate for the crown prince?" Shen Zecang looked at the minister, narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be a little angry.

Song Ling looked at Shen Zecang and frowned, knowing that he was a sign of anger, and wanted to hold the minister to prevent him from talking, but it was too late.

"Naturally, I said it, but this crown prince's position does not belong to you, the third prince," the minister looked at Shen Zecang and smiled, his eyes full of pride.

Shen Zecang looked at the minister and raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not this prince, so who is it?"

"Naturally, it's the Seventh Prince, if you don't believe it, you can ask everyone present," the minister looked at Shen Zecang and smiled.

Shen Zecang looked at everyone and frowned: "But as far as I know, you are all people under Shen Zeyuan, don't you, it seems that what you say is not credible, let's wait for my father to wake up." ”

"What do you mean by that?" the minister looked at Shen Zecang's eyes and said with a hint of anger, "Are we still going to tell lies?"

"I didn't say that, don't be excited, anyway, my father hasn't woken up yet, so I have wronged a few people who have lived in the palace for the past few days," Shen Zecang looked at Song Ling and the others and smiled, the meaning was obvious, and several of them were placed under house arrest in the palace.

Song Ling looked at Shen Zecang and frowned, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't refute it, and let Shen Zecang put them under house arrest.

When Song Wanyan learned of this, she hurriedly rushed to Shen Zecang's side and frowned, "You locked up your father?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Shen Zecang looked at Song Wanyan and smiled, "Do you have any opinions?"

Song Wanyan looked at Shen Zecang and frowned: "He is our father, you locked him up, and if others know about it, what kind of rumors are you going to provoke, have you ever thought about this?"

"So what, this prince doesn't care," Shen Zecang smiled disdainfully, looking very indifferent.

Song Wanyan looked at Shen Zecang and frowned, sighed helplessly, and said, "I know you don't care about this, but my father is quite authoritative among the hundred officials, wouldn't it be a good thing if he could get his father's support?"

When Shen Zecang heard Song Wanyan say this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he began to think about Song Wanyan's words.

Song Wanyan saw that Shen Zecang was pondering, and she didn't open her mouth to disturb Shen Zecang, but just waited quietly for Shen Zecang.

Shen Zecang looked at Song Wanyan and was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll send you to persuade your father." ”

Song Wanyan looked at Shen Zecang and nodded, turned around and left, and went to the room where Song Ling was being held.

"Father," Song Wanyan looked at Song Ling and frowned, "Are you okay?"

"What do you think?" Song Ling frowned, his tone a little unfriendly.

Song Wanyan sighed helplessly when she saw that Song Ling was so unkind to see her: "Father, why are you unwilling to help Shen Zecang ascend to the throne, where is he worse than the Seventh Prince?"

Song Ling pursed her lips, looked at Song Wanyan and frowned, "He is not as good as the Seventh Prince anywhere." ”

"But you don't lose anything about helping him ascend to the throne, aren't you?" Song Wanyan looked at Song Ling and frowned, "Whether Shen Zeyuan ascends the throne or Shen Zecang ascends the throne, you will be the father-in-law of the emperor, right?"

Song Ling frowned and said: "Having said that, although the truth is the same, but in my eyes, he Shen Zecang is not worthy of being the emperor at all, if he is allowed to be the emperor, the country will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later, and I will definitely not allow such a thing to happen." ”

Song Wanyan looked at Song Ling, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, she found out for the first time that Song Ling was such a stubborn person, when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would satisfy herself with whatever she wanted, but now everything has changed.
