Shen Zeyuan was speechless, but he had no choice but to quietly leave the news for the secret guard, after all, he was clear. Shen Zecang, he didn't want the medicine doctor Gu Gu Lord to treat the emperor's illness, it was nothing more than the matter of the edict.

If it is announced at this moment that he has no edict, then Shen Zecang will have to continue to protect the emperor, after all, only the emperor can write the edict.

Sure enough, as Shen Zeyuan expected, the staff members told Shen Zecang about this.

Shen Zecang was very happy, if there was no edict, it meant that he still had a chance, and he had to write the emperor's edict to himself no matter what. Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth hooked up an evil smile.

So Shen Zecang was afraid of delaying the time to save the emperor, so he hurriedly promised Shen Zeyuan to allow the medicine doctor Gu Gu Master to enter the palace to treat the emperor's illness.

"Third brother, what's the matter? One second he said that the valley master was just an idle doctor, and the next second he hurriedly asked people to invite the valley master?" Shen Zeyuan said with a smile.

He naturally knew that Shen Zecang was just preventing the edict from falling into his hands, so he hung the emperor's life, but he really wanted to ridicule the third brother.

Shen Zecang's face froze, he now has no good impression of Shen Zeyuan. The main thing is that his power is getting bigger and bigger, the two can check and balance each other, and maybe even go a little deeper, how can he allow him to compete with him for the throne.

"Seventh brother, where is this? My father's body is important, even if there is a glimmer of life, I have to treat my father. After that, he frowned emotionally, with a worried face.

Shen Zeyuan just wanted to laugh at these clumsy performances, how could such a scheming person take on important tasks in the world.

"If the third brother really thinks so, my father will be very pleased, but if it is not, even if my father and I are chilled by this. After that, when I walked into the house, I no longer looked at his face, but felt very bored.

When I walked into the house, I saw the pale and weak emperor, and I was very worried. Seeing the helplessness on the face of the valley master, he asked with some hopelessness, "What happened to my father's illness?"

The medicine doctor Gu Lord shook his head helplessly, and his tone was very heavy: "The emperor's illness is no longer able to return to heaven, I can only temporarily use good medicine to extend the emperor's life, but time is running out." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zeyuan looked at the emperor deeply and said in a low voice: "The child is not filial. ”

The emperor gently called him over, and whispered in his ear: "I know that you are a good boy, and the edict must be received, and in the future, my people here will be your people, and they will be well guarded." ”

Shen Zeyuan nodded emphatically, and there were already a lot of tears in his eyes. He secretly swore that he would not let Shen Zecang succeed.

And since Shen Zecang failed to force the emperor to write an edict last time, he didn't want to take care of the emperor anymore.

He has been standing outside the palace to prevent any changes, and there are his own people in the palace to take care of him, but he doesn't know that his people have long obeyed Shen Zeyuan.

Seeing Shen Zeyuan coming out of the palace, he went to ask the emperor about the situation with a sad face, and Shen Zeyuan said lightly that the emperor was all right. Shen Zecang hid the loss in his eyes and pretended to be very happy.

However, both of them knew that Shen Zecang did this just to show the people in the palace, and Shen Zeyuan didn't bother to debunk it at all, he only thought it was very funny.

However, the most important thing now is not the time for the two parties to compete, and now the most important thing is the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

The Chinese New Year's Eve festival is once a year, and naturally it is also taken very seriously. In addition to the ministers of the DPRK and China who would come to the palace to participate in the banquet, there were also foreign envoys who came to celebrate, which was naturally even more different.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was not attended by the emperor, and all preparations were prepared by Shen Zeyuan. This is a matter of duty, and he naturally has to do it well.

However, Shen Zecang also regarded this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet as an opportunity, and maybe he could get unexpected forces. So, he took over the matter on the grounds that he was not worried about Shen Zeyuan's reception.

Shen Zeyuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he had no intention of competing with him, after all, everything was being controlled by him now, in fact, this was not a good phenomenon, and his ambition was exposed. But that's not what he can say, just let him go, as long as everything doesn't go off the track.

This year, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was particularly lively. In the palace, the lanterns were hung high, and the ministers of the court and the central government and their families took their seats one after another, wanting to sweep away the troubles of the year.

Song Shuyan is naturally among them, and she will also come to the palace with her father and mother to gather in the past year, but it has been a year. There have been so many changes in a year that she can't help but feel emotional. Ouyang Xue was happy to see her here, and sat here.

Because Shen Zecang arranged for his own people to receive foreign envoys, all these affairs had almost nothing to do with Shen Zeyuan, so he just showed up and received them next to Shen Zecang. In front of outsiders, it is natural to show a harmonious brotherly relationship.

The difference is that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has some differences, that is, foreign envoys will bring a princess to come and make peace here.

Shen Zeyuan didn't have any interest when he heard it, neither the princess nor the princess had anything to do with him. relationship, he only needs Song Shuyan.

And Shen Zecang's eyes lit up when he listened, if the princess fell in love with herself, then she married a princess who was close to her, and the power of the foreign race would be her own, so it would be better for her to ascend the throne.

At this point, he planned to entertain the princess well, but as for Song Wanyan, he had forgotten all about it.

Soon the princess who had heard that she had come to make peace soon arrived, and she could afford to be a princess. This appellation. The etiquette is generous, the country is fragrant, how can such a person not be moved by a man's heart.

The princess came to greet him: "The seventh prince, the third prince." ”

Shen Zeyuan and Shen Zecang also returned the salute accordingly.

When the princess saw that these two people were different, she had to choose one of them as the object of her marriage. The Seven Princes have a personable demeanor and an extraordinary temperament. The third prince is also arrogant, but for some reason she prefers the seventh prince.

So the princess's eyes kept looking at Shen Zeyuan, and she had already made a plan silently in her heart.

Shen Zecang saw that the princess had been looking at Shen Zeyuan, and he was a little anxious, so he hurriedly found a topic to arouse the princess's interest.

"What does the princess like, I can prepare for the princess. Or I'll accompany the princess around this palace. Shen Zecang said.

The princess only felt noisy, but for the sake of face, she had to reply lightly: "Thank you for your kindness." He declined lightly, implying that he didn't want to be disturbed.

Shen Zecang had no choice but to sit down, invite the princess to take a seat, and prepare for the beginning of the banquet.
