"What?!" Gu Jinglan stood up from the chair suddenly, and the teacup in her hand slammed to the ground.

After Lu Yuanshao left, Gu Jinglan lived in Shen Han's mansion, today was the first time to restore the dynasty after the palace change, and he waited in the main hall for Shen Han to bring back the latest news from the court. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Han opened his mouth, he was shocked to drop the teacup.

Shen Han rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Your life experience...... Why didn't you tell me sooner? ”

"I ......" Gu Jinglan smiled bitterly, it wasn't that he didn't trust Shen Han, it was really that this matter involved Lan nobles, and it was hard to talk about it. Besides, even if he wanted to, he had gone to the border since the incident five years ago, and when he returned to Beijing, the situation was tense, and he had no chance to say his identity.

He didn't expect that Emperor Yinyuan would make his identity public regardless of this time.

"Does Your Majesty really want to make me the crown prince?" Gu Jinglan's eyebrows furrowed fiercely, he didn't have the heart to be a prince.

"Your Majesty didn't say anything today, but that's obviously what it means." Shen Han said: "You also know that the three princes and the four princes are really useless. ”

Shen Han looked at Gu Jinglan carefully again and asked, "Jia Lan, if His Majesty really makes you the prince, what should you do?" ”

"Don't joke with me, adults!" Gu Jinglan said angrily: "Am I the one who can be the king of a country?!" ”

Gu Jinglan is actually very self-aware, his qualifications, it's okay to do some general affairs, but the position of the king of a country, is it enough to only do general affairs!

I didn't usually see how Emperor Yinyuan valued his son, Gu Jinglan sneered in her heart, now it seems that the sons who are really useful are dead, and they actually think of him.

"That's it, I'll go to the palace." Gu Jinglan remembered that Wang Chengwu had recruited him before, so Emperor Yinyuan must have known that he was in Beijing...... It seems that there may not be no intention of forcing him to enter the palace to see him.

Shen Han thought for a while, didn't stop him, only took his hand, and instructed in a low voice: "Be cautious, don't take that person lightly." ”

That one, naturally, refers to Emperor Yinyuan

********************************

In addition to barely holding on to the previous dynasty, Emperor Yinyuan lay in bed almost all day, and the once male lord who looked down on the world is now just an old man who is struggling to breathe on the hospital bed - this old injury was suffered when he usurped the throne of the previous emperor twenty-five years ago, and now it recurs twenty-five years later when his son wants to usurp his throne, it can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unhappy.

"You're here." Emperor Yinyuan coughed weakly and asked Qi Fu to help him sit up.

"I've seen Your Majesty." Gu Jinglan's etiquette was exactly the same.

"Have you heard about the court?" Emperor Yinyuan didn't talk nonsense with him, and while he still had some strength, he got straight to the point: "What? Are you not happy to make you the crown prince? ”

The prince of a country, above 10,000 people under one person, has a respected status and is extremely noble.

At the beginning, more than a dozen children of the first emperor fought for this position, and they died and died, and most of them were lost, and finally he counterattacked and won the fruit in one fell swoop.

Power, beauty...... This position represents the pinnacle of it, and Emperor Yinyuan does not believe that there are really men in the world who can resist such temptation.

Now that he has placed this position in front of Gu Jinglan, as long as his son stretches out his hand, he can get it.

"How can Weichen be virtuous, he deserves this great responsibility, and please don't consider it." Gu Jinglan was bent on refusing.

Emperor Yin Yuan didn't have much meat on his face anymore, he was so thin that it was a little scary, his black eyes were round, and his cold face looked a little hideous, and he said in a cold voice: "Why can't you sit in this position?" What are you worried about? ”

"- Or are you worried about something?"

Gu Jinglan had already thought of the wording of the resignation, but Emperor Yinyuan immediately interrupted him and continued-In the eyes of Emperor Yinyuan himself, it was a rare time for him to relieve this son, but in Gu Jinglan's opinion, it was really ...... Disgusting.

"If you're worried about your brother's identity, there's no need to ...... At that time, you will personally give birth to an heir, and go to his other father, and my lineage will naturally continue in you. ”

The corners of Gu Jinglan's mouth gradually sneered, and he said Why did Emperor Yinyuan suddenly remember him, it seems that there is really no son available.

What else don't I understand, Emperor Yinyuan really thought clearly before deciding to make him the prince: the third and fourth are stupid, the fifth is too young, and the emperor's grandson is only at the age of crawling on the ground.

Even the problem of the heir has been solved, and he himself will have one, won't he have it himself?

It's a pity......

"陛xià." Gu Jinglan interrupted him, with a cold mockery in her eyes: "Jia Lan has already drunk sterilization medicine, there is no hope for an heir in this life, Your Majesty doesn't have to think about it anymore." ”

"......" Emperor Yinyuan was immediately held back in one breath and coughed violently.

"When did you drink the sterilization pill?! It's crazy! Emperor Yinyuan said angrily.

"Soon." Gu Jinglan had a wicked smile on her lips, and said, "About a month ago, I drank it before I came to Beijing." ”

"The sluggish pulse should still be there, if your majesty doesn't believe it, you can send a doctor to check the pulse."

Emperor Yinyuan coughed up violently, and his hands were really trembling, and he sent someone to send the imperial doctor to come to check the pulse.

Gu Jinglan said lightly, drooping her eyelids to cover Yan Zhan's overflowing mockery.

**********************************************************

When he returned to the Shen Mansion, Shen Han saw that his expression was wrong, so he greeted him and asked, "What happened?" ”

"It's okay, adults don't have to worry." Gu Jinglan lowered her hand and said, "Your Majesty will never mention the matter of appointing me as the prince again, and adults don't have to worry about Jia Lan." ”

What Shen Han was worried about was what would happen if his brother's identity was revealed...... The courtiers could not tolerate a brother sitting in that position anyway, and Emperor Yinyuan didn't seem to have considered this at all. Whether you really think about him or not, you can see it at a glance.

Five years ago, Gu Jinglan and Shen Han decided to leave Kyoto and go to the border after discussion, on the one hand, because he and Lu Yuanshao needed to avoid the limelight; On the other hand, because of the mixed fish and dragons in Beijing, the forces at the juncture of the heir are dumping strictly, and he may be found out about his brother's identity at some point. After some discussion, it was decided to go to Yuguan and Lin'an County Taoguang to raise obscurity.

Taoguang is obscure, or it is also a wise self-preservation. Gu Jinglan had no intention of fighting for the throne, in his opinion, as long as it was not the second prince who ascended the throne, whoever sat on the dragon chair in the end would be the same.

He and Lu Yuanshao couldn't figure out what to do, how could they have so much spare time to care who was the emperor?

What is the relationship between Lu Yuanshao and Ling Yuan? How did he come to this world? Is he dead or alive in the interstellar world? What the hell is empty food?

The sack problem made him head and two big, and he couldn't wait to hang Lu Yuanshao/empty food/Ling Yuan up and smoke it!

After a few more days in the Shen Mansion, he usually spent a pot of tea in the pavilion until late afternoon, or a book and sat under a tree for an afternoon.

It was only when they looked closely that they could find that his eyes were all sloppy, and his mind was not on the book or tea.

Maybe it was when he entered the palace that day, Emperor Yinyuan completely asked him impetuously, and he now divided his head into two halves, thinking about the ultimate philosophical question of who I am from, where and where am I going, and the other half of his head is irritable and thinking about when this emperor will die/whether he can die/can he still live after death? This semi-ultimate philosophical question.

After thinking about it for about seven or eight days, one day after dinner he carried the book under the tree as usual, and saw that he heard the mellow bell ringing in his ears over and over again while he was half asleep.

One, two, three...... Exactly nine strokes.

- Nine times!!

Ninety-five supreme, nine is the extreme, and it has always been dedicated to emperors.

- The emperor collapsed?!

Gu Jinglan suddenly jumped up from the recliner and rushed to the main courtyard, only to see Shen Han hurriedly put on his official uniform and was about to rush to the palace.

"It should be His Majesty who died, I'll go to the palace to have a look first." Shen Han said

"The situation outside the palace will inevitably change drastically, and you need to worry more."

"I will live up to my trust." Gu Jinglan solemnly promised.

************************************

On August 13, the twenty-fifth year of Yinyuan, Emperor Yinyuan collapsed.

Under the nine steps in front of the emperor's dormitory, on the left are kneeling the ministers of the court and the central government wearing first-class cultural relics official uniforms, and on the right are the harem concubines and princesses with plain clothes and light makeup.

All the men tied white linen straps on their heads, and the women wore a plain flower, knelt on the ground in black, and saw off Emperor Yinyuan together.

Qi Fu walked out of the hall with tears in his eyes, holding a few volumes of bright yellow holy decrees in his hands - everyone's hearts immediately hung up.

The will, this is undoubtedly the will of Emperor Yinyuan.

For a while, you could even hear the sudden and rapid inhalation on the field, in the row of palace concubines, kneeling in the front was the eldest prince's biological mother, Shufei Niangniang, and then Lan Guifei, and the third and fourth were the biological mothers of the third prince and the fourth prince, Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Concubine-the joy on the faces of these two mothers could not be suppressed, and they all thought that the throne must be reserved for their sons.

Since Gu Jinglan entered the palace, Emperor Yinyuan has never revealed his intention to make him the crown prince, but the remaining princes are too young, in order to prevent the power from falling, Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Concubine have reason to believe that the throne will fall to their son.

Directly in front of the steps, in the middle of the row of officials and palace concubines, there were three princes kneeling straight - it was the third prince, the fourth prince, and ...... Behind them, the five princes, who were only five years old and thin.

Qi Fu unfolded his will and began to read it:

"The third son of the Lu family, Jia Lan (the author has something to say)
