Chapter 352: Occasional Wind Chill
It is highly probable that Prince Rong ascended the throne. γLatest chapter reading. γ
Shen Liancheng didn't need to think much about it. Of course, she also knew that she would encounter obstacles from many quarters, including the Shen clan led by her grandfather.
My grandfather was such a person who paid attention to the lineage. As soon as the Son of Heaven dies, he will fight for his life, and he will not let the country he has laid down fall into the hands of any rebellious minister and thief. His "illness" will definitely get better. He will definitely spend all the years to come to support one of the four princes and inherit the throne.
Thinking of his grandfather, Shen Liancheng's heartbeat became even more flustered. She slowly raised her eyes and asked Chen Xiang a little nervously, "What are your plans?" β
"The military and political reform has just begun, and at present, the commanders of the six armies are still under the control of Li Ji." Chen Xiang didn't know how many things Shen Liancheng thought about in his heart in an instant, but he still spoke slowly, not in a hurry, "If Prince Rong tries to ascend the throne at that time, Li Ji will definitely use the name of the Son of Heaven and the military power in his hand as a sharp weapon to crusade against Prince Rong." He is famous in the army, and he has a heavy army, so he may not have no chance of winning. β
"Mrs. Li has not given birth to a dragon heir for a long time, but she has long had the intention of passing the eldest prince to the Jinghong Palace to raise her." Shen Liancheng took his words, "If Li Ji wants to deal with Prince Rong, he will definitely implement this matter and support the eldest prince as the new monarch." β
is the eldest prince, which is also orthodox in the same vein. Perhaps, my grandfather and the Shen clan and all the forces that followed him would also embrace him.
And Chen Xiang, how could he be with Li Ji? He will definitely choose Prince Rong, right? Of course, he still has a choice, that is, to persuade his grandfather to support the four princes to ascend to the throne together. But there is a prerequisite for this, my grandfather will never know that the Son of Heaven was killed by Chu Batian.
Chu Batian can be regarded as Chen Xiang's person no matter what. If my grandfather knew that the Son of Heaven was killed by him, he would have turned against Chen Xiang, and how could he conspire with him?
For this reason, Shen Liancheng asked Chen Xiang again, "What choice will you make?" β
It wasn't until this moment that Chen Xiang realized what Shen Liancheng was afraid of. It wasn't until this moment that he thought of what kind of upright existence her grandfather was.
After a long silence, he said cautiously: "Aman, you should focus on the overall situation. This world, handed over to Prince Rong, is more likely to develop than falling into the hands of a minor prince. Not everyone who supports the Son of Heaven will be like his grandfather-in-law, who has devoted himself to serving the country and the people. β
Truly. If Li Ji and his grandfather supported a certain prince to the throne, his grandfather's age was there, and the last one to control the new monarch would definitely be Li Ji.
In this world, if it falls into the hands of Li Ji, will there be a way for Chen Xiang to live? Has her Shen Liancheng's way to live?
"Aman," Chen Xiang's hand gently patted Shen Liancheng's shoulder, and said with relief, "Grandfather-in-law, I'll take care of it." I will surely convince him to be of the same heart as me. For the peace of the world and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, he will figure it out. β
"What if he doesn't understand anyway?" Shen Liancheng withdrew from Chen Xiang's arms, straightened his waist, and looked at him without blinking. "If grandfather doesn't understand no matter what, and he has to support orthodoxy no matter what, do you want to be an enemy of my Shen family?"
"No, there won't be that day." Chen Xiang was categorical, "I won't let that happen." β
"How can you do that?" Shen Liancheng knew very well that in this matter, he had to have a position and had to make a choice. Because if Prince Rong did not have his support, but Li Ji had the support of his grandfather, Prince Rong would definitely be defeated.
Prince Rong was defeated, and Li Ji was victorious. How could Chen Xiang allow Li Ji to be the winner? Even she, Shen Liancheng, is not allowed.
"Together with your grandfather, support the four princes to ascend to the throne!" Shen Liancheng finally put forward his opinion, "Don't let anyone else get benefits." It's up to you to decide. Those below you think the same way, right? They even ......"
"Nope." Chen Xiang interrupted her, his expression was very serious.
"Think about what I said." Shen Liancheng turned his face, "I'm tired and want to sleep." Tonight, you go to sleep in Jintang! β
Chen Xiang was silent for a moment and agreed.
Tonight, both of them need to think calmly and sleep separately.
However, the matter was important, and Chen Xiang never told Shen Liancheng about his decision, and Shen Liancheng did not ask easily.
She felt scared, but Chen Xiang adopted her own opinion, and she also felt scared.
But she had already secretly started her own scheme.
Li Shuang'er and Shen Ruxiu's side, through the verification of time, finally became "allies".
Since the ninth day of September, after the drought and locusts in Sanzhou really happened, Li Shuang'er began to be hopelessly superstitious about Shen Ruxiu. In order to facilitate the transmission of news with her, she would even let Shen Li'er, the younger brother's flat wife, visit her in the palace.
To be precise, it was the three of them who became "allies" since then.
On the sixteenth day of the winter month, the granddaughter of the county lord of Qinghe entered the palace and lived in the Ci'an Palace of the princess, and was soon taken by the Son of Heaven, asked for innocence, sealed the beauty, and opened another garden.
Li Shuang'er took the opportunity to approach her and became a close sister with her.
But at this time, the Son of Heaven's health began to deteriorate. After two snowfalls, I fell ill twice. It was from this time that Shen Liancheng began to move around the palace frequently.
When the Son of Heaven is sick, she will also visit Luan Qing Palace.
The Son of Heaven also likes her to come to see him.
On this day, Yu Wenlie even joked with Shen Liancheng: "I knew that if I was sick, Aman would care for the lonely king like he did when he was a child, and the lonely king would like to be sick a few more times." β
Knowing that it was just a frivolous joke, Shen Liancheng couldn't help but burst into tears.
When Yu Wenlie saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Why are you still crying?" β
Shen Liancheng panicked and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty rarely gets sick, this illness is actually bedridden for two days, and Ah Man can't bear it when he sees it." β
"It's just a chill." Yu Wenlie laughed, not knowing that his body was actually a big problem.
Chu Batian used poison, but the people in the Tai Hospital couldn't detect it, how could the Son of Heaven know? Thinking of this, Shen Liancheng's nose was sour, and he was almost about to shed tears.
At this time, Yu Wenlie coughed dryly as usual. coughing and coughing, but suddenly puffed out his cheeks and reached out for a handkerchief.
Shen Liancheng hurriedly gave him his handkerchief.
He covered his hands and coughed up blood! Looking at the red on the handkerchief, he felt incredulous.
"Your Majesty......" Shen Liancheng knew what was going on in his heart, and when he saw this scene, he was even more panicked. She thought about it for a while, and then said, "Ah Man asked the people of Zhao Temple to invite the imperial doctor!" β
"Wait!" Yu Wenlie stopped her, "Don't make a show of it yet." β
Coughing up blood is a big deal.
He couldn't understand how he could cough up blood when he was still so young? In any case, he couldn't let this get out of the way.
After a long time, he said to Shen Liancheng: "You go and tell the people of Zhao Temple and ask him to invite Imperial Doctor Jiang to come." β
