Xu Cang breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at the unconscious "Xiao Xu" with a complicated expression. He said in a low voice: "Witchcraft is so terrible, it is really unexpected. ”

The little noble son Mu Tao also had a bitter face.

The Son of Heaven woke up and everyone was overjoyed. Who would have thought that the one who woke up in the body of the Son of Heaven was Xiao Rui, the prince of the King of Qi, who should have been cut with a thousand knives?

If it weren't for the queen's keen sensitivity, she was shocked by the truth, and quietly set up this situation to trap this "Xiao Xu". I don't know what he will do with his identity as the Son of Heaven.

Last night, Gu Guanning summoned the three of them to the house, and at the same time, there were also three people present.

Only the six of them know the true identity of "Xiao Xu".

“…… He will be placed under house arrest in the Jiaofang Palace, and he will not be allowed to see any outsiders. In the slightly dim light, Gu Wanning's face was like frost and snow, and there was no temperature: "Whether it is a courtier, the queen mother and Gillian, they are all gone." ”

Xiao Guizi blurted out reflexively: "How is this possible! Even when the emperor is seriously ill, Wang Ge Lao and other important ministers will also visit from time to time. If the emperor is not allowed to see people, I am afraid that the courtiers will be suspicious. ”

Mu Tao also frowned: "Moreover, the emperor has been staying in the Jiaofang Palace, and it is also suspicious if it is rumored out." In the past two years, the emperor has been recuperating in the Funing Palace. ”

Linlang also opened her mouth worriedly: "Princess Gillian and several highnesses all listen to Niangniang's words. I am afraid that the Queen Mother is worried about the emperor in her heart and has been avoiding it, and the Queen Mother will be dissatisfied and suspicious. ”

"It's not a long-term solution. Chen Yueniang also said.

Gu Wanning's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and his voice was low and firm: "I have already thought about your concerns. However, this is the safest way at the moment, and there is no other choice. ”

……

The little noble son is full of heavy hearts, how can Mu Tao and Xu Cang be relaxed?

What they are doing right now is shocking. If it is detected, it is a crime, and there is only one dead word.

It's just, as Gu Guanning said. They have no choice.

The door opened.

Gu Wanning stepped in, and with him came the three of them, Chen Yueniang.

Gu Wanning walked to the edge of the bed, his eyes fell on the familiar handsome face, his heart was mixed, and his face was unmoved: "From today on, the emperor will stay here." I will declare to the public that the emperor is too ill to show his face. ”

"You guys, you must keep it a secret and never reveal the truth. So as not to spread any rumors unfavorable to the emperor. ”

Gu Wanning is determined to maintain the dignity and dignity of the Son of Heaven. I'd rather let him "recuperate" from illness all the time than let him hold power and make waves.

There must be no rumors that are unfavorable to the emperor!

What about the reputation of the queen mother?

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were agitated, and they subconsciously looked up at Gu Wanning.

Gu Wanning's expression was indifferent, and his face was calm and waveless. No one could tell her true feelings from her face.

Gu Guanning gave a series of orders in a deep voice: "Xu Cang, you and Mu Tao will stay here first." The Master stayed outside the dormitory and did not let anyone come near. Linlang went to Cining Palace to deliver a letter. Linglong, you're in charge of blocking messages. ”

"Little nobleman, you go to the Jinluan Palace to pass on the phoenix decree of the palace. ”

"The emperor's illness has been repeated, the dragon is sick, and he will strike the dynasty today. The affairs of the court were handled by several cabinet elders and a group of scholars as usual. If there is something that hangs in the air, put it on hold for the time being. ”

The crowd responded in unison.

……

Throne room.

The ministers are waiting for the Son of Heaven to ascend to court.

During the waiting time, the ministers had to whisper a few words.

"In the past few days, the emperor has been going to court every day, and his spirit is getting better every day. It seems that the emperor's illness will be cured soon. ”

"Yes! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. ”

A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day.

Even if Xiao Xu didn't say a word and only sat on the dragon chair, for the ministers, it was like the backbone of the heart. There is no substitute for anyone.

When Xiao Guizi appeared in the Jinluan Palace, everyone was stunned.

"Your father-in-law, why is the emperor not coming to the court today?" Wang Ge Lao was the first to ask.

The little noble son looked sad and said apologetically: "The emperor drank a few drinks last night, and he was cold, the cold entered the body, and the old disease attacked, so he couldn't stay." You can't come to court today. The queen mother specially instructed the servants to deliver the letter, and the emperor will not go to court today, and ask the adults to discuss the court affairs first. ”

Ministers: "......"

Yes, I'm sick again!

It's not the first time anyway. Everyone didn't pay attention to it, and each said a few words, and then discussed the matter as usual.

Even the prince of Wei and the prince of Han were not suspicious. I just muttered a few words in my heart.

Xiao Xu hadn't been around for a few days, and he was sick again. The dragon body is so weak, it shouldn't last a few years...... When the last sentence only turned around in his heart, he was pressed down by the two of them.

……

The Son of Heaven fell into a coma again, and the matter quickly spread inside and outside the palace.

As Gu Wanning expected, everyone was not suspicious.

Over the past two years, Xiao Xu's illness has been good and bad. For a while, if not a few months, he did not go to court. Everyone has long been surprised.

After hearing about this, Gillian and her brother wanted to come to visit, but were stopped by Gu Wanning. The four siblings were also obedient.

It was the Empress Dowager Min who insisted on taking a look at it in person.

Anyway, "Xiao Xu" is still in a coma, and he can't toss the wind and waves.

After the Empress Dowager Min saw the unconscious "Xiao Xu", she had to cry again. Gu Guanning patiently comforted for a long time before persuading Empress Dowager Min to leave.

The emperor was seriously ill and should have recuperated in the Funing Palace. However, since he was unconscious in the Jiaofang Palace, it was not appropriate to move the dragon's body, so he had to stay in the Jiaofang Hall to recuperate.

A group of courtiers entered the Funing Hall to wait for idleness, but it was inconvenient to enter the harem. In this way, there is naturally no way to "visit the sick".

Empress Dowager Min never falls day by day, and comes every day.

"Unfortunately", every time "Xiao Xu" falls asleep.

Empress Dowager Min was worried and summoned Xu Cang to inquire.

Xu Cang replied helplessly: "The emperor wakes up two or three times a day, but the time is uncertain. Wake up in the middle of the night often. Weichen didn't dare to disturb the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Min asked the most worrying thing again: "When will the emperor's illness be cured?"

Xu Cang replied lightly: "The emperor needs to calm down and recuperate, please ask the queen mother to be patient and restrained, and you don't have to come to the Jiaofang Palace every day." ”

Empress Dowager Min nodded with red eyes.

Xu Cang saw it in his eyes, and he felt compassion in his heart.

He could not bear to deceive a poor woman who loved her son. But there's no better way to do it right now.

Empress Dowager Min really doesn't have any city government, and she can't bear it. If you tell the truth, I am afraid that Empress Dowager Min will be the first to fall. Gu Guanning also considered this and tried his best to hide this matter.
