Chapter Ninety-Six: Succession
In the palace of the concubine Jin.
Murong Zheyuan heard that his mother had summoned him to the palace, and there was an urgent matter to discuss, so he hurried over, and when he entered the palace of Concubine Jin, after saluting, he went to the inner room and sat opposite Concubine Jin.
The maid knew that Concubine Jin and Murong Yuhan had something important to discuss, so she had already retreated and closed the door.
"I don't know why my mother hurriedly summoned her sons?" Murong Zheyuan asked.
Concubine Jin lowered her voice and said: "Yuan'er, your father suddenly fainted last night, and the imperial doctor said that he was afraid that it would be useless, there was no child in the middle palace, and your father's illness was sudden, and the prince was not established, so we must make plans early." ”
Murong Zheyuan frowned and asked, "What does mother mean?" ”
Concubine Jin's voice was lowered: "Yuan'er, I tossed and turned last night, I couldn't sleep well, I always remembered your affairs in my heart, I analyzed the current situation, among the several princes, if you say that you are older, literary and martial arts are more outstanding, there are only you and the three princes, but I always feel that the queen is more partial to the three princes, so I think that I still have to hurry up and plan." ”
Murong Zheyuan is a smart person, Concubine Jin said a little, and he understood a little, Murong Yuhan, his biological mother died early, according to convention, the prince whose biological mother died early will all be regarded as the queen mother, that is to say, Murong Yuhan is the nominal son of the queen.
Moreover, Su Ri looked at it, his father did pay more attention to Murong Yuhan, if the queen was concerned about her father's usual thoughts, and advocated letting Murong Yuhan inherit the unification, the idea of the middle palace was extremely weighty, and if most of the ministers supported it, it would definitely be a certainty.
Seeing that Murong Zheyuan was thoughtful. Concubine Jin continued: "Yuan'er, don't worry. Your uncle also has some power in the court, so he will naturally help you out there. Just in case, you still have to be prepared to take the heir. ”
Murong Zheyuan's brows furrowed even tighter: "Preparation for the heir?" How to prepare? Could it be that the mother meant, forcing the palace? ”
Concubine Jin nodded solemnly, and said: "Yes, since ancient times, it has been a dangerous thing to seize the heir, and it is imperative for brothers to kill each other." If the position of the crown prince is really decided, it will be Murong Yuhan who will inherit the throne. So, just in case, the first person he wants to get rid of is you! Take the heir, either you die, or I live, you should have read the story of the change of Xuanwumen. ”
Murong Zheyuan gritted his teeth, and said with some disbelief: "I'll see." Murong Yuhan shouldn't be this kind of person, I think he ...... on weekdays."
Before Murong Zheyuan could finish speaking, Concubine Jin interrupted: "Yuan'er, how can people's hearts be visible on the surface. I've been in the deep palace for a long time, and I don't know anything, once I offend my own interests. Nothing can be done, let alone a battle for the throne. You're pure-hearted. You can't bear to do it to others, and they may be thinking about how to suppress you at this time. Win the position of prince. ”
Murong Zheyuan thought for a while, nodded, and said: "What my mother said, my son's ministers already know, and I ask my mother to rest assured, my sons must protect themselves, and in the past few days, I will discuss with my uncle and not let my mother down." ”
When Concubine Jin heard this, she was slightly happy, but she was very worried about Murong Zheyuan, and couldn't help but instruct: "You must be very careful when you act." ”
After Murong Zhe left, Concubine Jin thought about it, but she was still worried, and turned her head to the personal maid and said, "You go and arrange it, see how the cook in the Three Princes' Mansion is doing, and we will also help if we can help." ”
How clever the maid was, there were some things that didn't have to be said too thoroughly, and she understood a little.
Murong Zheyuan returned to the mansion and called Guo Yishan, but he stopped talking. Guo Yishan asked, "Sixth Prince, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
Only then did Murong Zheyuan say solemnly: "Yishan, my father is seriously ill, and I plan to take the heir." ”
When Guo Yishan heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "This, this matter is very important, the six princes must not act rashly!" ”
Murong Zheyuan looked at Guo Yishan affectionately, and said slowly: "Actually, I didn't have the intention to fight for the throne or something, but if I don't fight, I can keep the peace, since ancient times, if it is related to the position of the prince, I will either fight or wait for death." I had no other choice. ”
Speaking of this, Murong Zheyuan said even more emotionally: "Yishan, all this I have done is actually for you, only if I stand on a high position, I can ensure that you are safe in your life, if I don't fight for death, what will I use to protect you for the rest of your life." ”
When Guo Yishan heard this, he was quite moved, and couldn't help but intertwine his hands with Murong Zheyuan, and his voice also contained a little warmth: "Sixth prince, don't worry, whether you succeed or not, I will accompany you, if you get this world, then I will accompany you to guard this world, if you unfortunately die, then I will never live, and I will definitely accompany you to Huangquan." ”
Murong Zheyuan looked at Guo Yishan, hugged him in his arms, and said firmly: "I will not live up to you." ”
After lunch, Murong Yuhan suddenly felt a pang of discomfort in his stomach, and after a while, he vomited out a mouthful of blood, and the person who served in a panic hurriedly went to ask for a doctor.
When the imperial doctor entered the door to take a look, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Alas, the third prince is only afraid that he has been poisoned." ”
When Murong Yuhan heard this, he was startled, and said weakly: "What? Poisoning, you make it clear, what poison did I get, but can I still be saved? ”
The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "The third prince must not be impatient, fortunately, the person who poisoned the poison is lighter, and the third prince takes less food, so it should be fine." Weichen prescribes some medicine, and wants to come to the third prince to take it and recuperate for a month, and it should be fine. ”
Immediately afterwards, the imperial doctor began to prescribe the medicine, and then asked people to follow him to get the medicine.
Thinking that he had always had no grievances with others, and didn't want someone to want to murder him, he couldn't help but say: "Come here, call in all the maid maids who are cooking and serving vegetables today." ”
After a while, all the people who were waiting for food and drink came in, and these people were all kneeling on the ground, all of them pale with fright, as if it was not Murong Yuhan who was poisoned, but them.
"Say, who did the work in the meal, and whose instigation was it?"
These people looked at each other, shook their heads, and looked like they didn't do their own business.
"Don't you say yes, okay, if you don't say it, just pull it all out and kill it with a cane." Murong Yuhan said angrily.
A group of people all knelt on the ground and pleaded, Murong Yuhan saw it clearly, and Wu's mother's fingers in the kitchen trembled very much, and she had doubts in her heart, and said sharply: "Wu's mother, you said, did you do it." ”
Mother Wu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "No, no, how could a slave do such a foolish thing, the slave is wronged!" ”
At this time, another cook seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, in the past two days, the slave happened to bump into Wu's mother and a young woman, it seems that the young woman also gave Wu's mother a bag of things, maybe Wu's mother is interested in seeing wealth, so she poisoned and murdered the three princes, we are all wronged, and please ask the three princes to investigate." ”
Seeing Murong Yuhan glaring at him angrily, Wu Ma trembled and replied: "Slave, slave is guilty, but slave is also forced to be helpless!" (To be continued.) )
