Chapter 537: Xuanyuan Che threatens the emperor

"Although I can't guarantee that the poison in the whole world can be cured, the poison you described can be cured." The man in black affirmed.

Qi Fangfei thought for a while, threw the money bag to the man in black, and took the bottle of antidote and quickly left the alley.

Qi Fangfei suddenly became low-key, either staying in her room or taking a walk in the garden of the mansion, and her unusually low-key did not arouse Xuanyuan Che's suspicions, but Xuanyuan Che thought that Qi Fangfei was finally willing to listen to her words and stop bothering herself.

"Is the eldest prince back?" In the evening, Qi Fangfei walked outside the courtyard where Xuanyuan Che lived, and saw that there were people sweeping the floor, so she asked.

"If you go back to the eldest princess, the eldest prince has not come back yet." Seeing Qi Fangfei, the subordinate immediately stopped what he was doing and replied respectfully.

"When did the eldest prince come back last night?" Qi Fangfei opened her mouth and asked, "Did the eldest prince say when he would come back tonight?" No, like last night, the whole house was resting before he came back. ”

"The slave doesn't know, and the slave doesn't dare to ask more about the master's affairs." The subordinate lowered his head and replied with sincere fear.

Qi Fangfei nodded, knowing that she couldn't ask anything from this subordinate, and was about to leave, but saw Xuanyuan Che coming over with a solemn face, followed by his henchman, who also looked serious.

"You're back? I'm asking the minions in your yard when you'll be back. Qi Fangfei greeted him with a smile.

"Is there something wrong?" Xuanyuan Che asked coldly.

"I heard that my mother's health doesn't seem to be very good recently, so I want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to visit my mother, and I want to ask if you are free, and it just so happens that my father will also be in the house tomorrow." Qi Fangfei asked with a smile.

"No, I have something to do tomorrow, I want to go to the palace, you can go by yourself." Xuanyuan Che did not hesitate to refuse Qi Fangfei and then walked into his courtyard with his henchmen, and after the two walked into the study, the door of the study was slammed shut.

Qi Fangfei turned around and took a look, she had already guessed in her heart that Xuanyuan Che was going to act tomorrow, she didn't say anything, and the expression on her face didn't change at all.

The next day, after Xuanyuan Che left the mansion, Qi Fangfei walked out of her courtyard, the mansion was still the same as usual, the people in the mansion were busy walking back and forth, but Qi Fangfei knew that once today, many things would be different.

"The eldest princess, the carriage is ready, and you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion at any time." The maid who was waiting for Qi Fangfei came over and said.

"I won't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Recently, the emperor has been unwell, and the queen is worried that the emperor's body is also a little sick, you go and take out the thousand-year-old ginseng I brought back from the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and I will enter the palace and send it to the queen. Qi Fangfei instructed the maids beside her.

It didn't take long for the maid to bring a reassuring long box, which contained the thousand-year-old ginseng that Qi Fangfei just said, Qi Fangfei looked at the ginseng inside, nodded slightly, and then left the mansion.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is asking to see you outside!" The servant walked into the emperor's inner room to report and said before the emperor opened his mouth to refuse: "The eldest prince said that he had not seen the emperor for a long time, and he was very worried, and asked the emperor not to refuse his filial piety. ”

The emperor really wanted to refuse to see Xuanyuan Che, but when he heard the slave relay his words, he thought of Xuanyuan Che's filial piety, even if he didn't want to see anyone, he couldn't bear to refuse.

"You let him in." Although the emperor was not happy, he still reluctantly let Xuanyuan Che in.

Xuanyuan Che walked in with a bowl of decoction in his hand, and saw that the emperor's face was not very good, and said with a concerned look: "Erchen asked his father to say goodbye, Erchen knew that his father was not in good health recently, so he came to visit his father." ”

"Get up!" The emperor raised his hand to let Xuanyuan Hao get up, and when he saw him holding a bowl in his hand, he asked with some curiosity, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

"This is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to my father, and my son went to the imperial dining room to get the decoction before he came to see his father." Xuanyuan Che served the bowl with the decoction in both hands, and it was still steaming.

"You brought a decoction for me?" The emperor looked at the steaming decoction and looked at Xuanyuan Che with some emotion.

"Yes!" Xuanyuan Che nodded, turned to the servant who was waiting on the side and said: "I forgot to bring some sugar lotus seeds when I took the decoction just now, these decoctions are very bitter, my father will not feel bitter after eating a few sugar lotus seeds, you go to the imperial dining room to get some sugar lotus seeds." ”

"Yes!" The servant looked at the emperor and found that the emperor did not have any stops, and he did not dare to delay, so he ran out in a hurry.

"Father, you drink this decoction while it's still hot, and eat a few sugar lotus seeds after the sugar lotus seeds are brought." Xuanyuan Che saw that there was no one else in the emperor's bedroom, and he was a little anxious and persuaded the emperor to drink the decoction he brought.

The emperor did not doubt that he had him, and took the bowl and looked at the black decoction, even if he hadn't drunk it, he could feel that it was very bitter to drink, but because of Xuanyuan Che's filial piety, the emperor still drank all these decoctions in one go.

Seeing that the emperor drank all the decoction, the heart that had been carrying it finally relaxed, and even the expression on his face became relaxed, and he didn't want to be so stiff as before.

The emperor put the empty bowl aside, slowly stood up and said: "A few days ago, your mother came to me and asked me about the establishment of the crown prince, but I didn't say, today you came to me, I want to ask you, who do you think is the most suitable prince for these princes, including you?" ”

Xuanyuan Che's originally relaxed heart became nervous again because of the emperor's question, and he didn't understand what the emperor's purpose was when he suddenly asked himself this question. He thought for a moment and cautiously asked, "Does my father think that the ability of his son is not suitable for being a prince?" ”

The emperor turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Che and asked calmly, "Do you have any thoughts about the position of the crown prince?" ”

"Yes!" Xuanyuan Che admitted without concealment, and said with some excitement: "As the eldest son, Erchen thinks that his ability is not inferior to other princes, why can't my father see the efforts of Erchen, why don't you give the crown prince to Erchen?" In the past, the father was partial to the Nine Emperor Sons, but now that the Nine Emperor Sons are gone, can't the father see the existence of his sons? ”

"Because I favored the Nine Emperor Princes, you sent someone to kill him?" The emperor suddenly opened his mouth to question Xuanyuan Che, and when he saw his frightened expression, he said with some coldness: "Do you think I don't know that you are the poisoner of the second prince before?" Although your queen mother tried her best to defend the inside, even at the expense of the four princes, do you think that this matter is so rainy and clear? I'm not old and faint yet. ”

"Does my father suspect that the second prince and the ninth prince were both killed by his sons? How could the father be so distrustful of his sons? Although Xuanyuan Che was a little uneasy in his heart, he was still trying his best to quibble, pretending to look at the emperor innocently.

The emperor did not have a trace of softness because of Xuanyuan Che's heartbroken appearance, but looked at him coldly and was still arguing.

"Father, can't you make your son the crown prince? If you don't make your son the crown prince, who else do you want to make the prince? The Three Princes? Seeing the emperor's indifferent expression, Xuanyuan Che couldn't pretend anymore, and there was a hint of fierce light in his eyes.

"I have nothing to do with you making you the crown prince, I don't need to tell you, in short, I won't make you the crown prince." The emperor said displeasedly.

"Why? Why not me? Hearing the emperor categorically say that he would not make himself the crown prince, this sentence completely ignited the anger in Xuanyuan Che's heart, and the hypocritical kindness could no longer be pretended, and he rushed to Huang Shang fiercely and looked at the emperor fiercely.

"Because you don't have a moment of compassion, you can even kill your own siblings, if the country is handed over to a ruthless person like you, it will be a disaster for the country and the people."

Xuanyuan Che suddenly looked at the emperor with a sneer and said: "The position of the crown prince, no, it should be said that I am bound to win your throne, and no one can compete with me." ”

"You dare!" Seeing that Xuanyuan Che was a little crazy, the emperor glared at him angrily.

"Of course I dare? For the sake of the throne, there is nothing I can do. Xuanyuan took a step forward in front of the emperor and slowly approached the emperor.

"What do you want to do?" The emperor took a step back with some anxiety, and warned Xuanyuan Che with some fear in his heart: "If you dare to take a step closer to me, I will not let you go." ”

"Well, I'd like to see how you don't let me go." Xuanyuan said with a sneer, and took another step forward.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Che had completely disobeyed his own words, the emperor was afraid and wanted to call someone in, but just as he wanted to speak, he suddenly felt his head dizzy, staggered unsteadily, and accidentally touched the bowl where he drank the decoction just now, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered immediately.

Looking at the broken bowl, the emperor looked at Xuanyuan Che with some incredulity and asked, "You drugged me?" What exactly did you do? You rebel, don't you hurry up and give me the antidote. The emperor was angry and angry, but he sat down on the chair weakly.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I know you can take out the jade seal and stamp it." Xuanyuan looked coldly at the ill-intentioned words written by the emperor, "Come on, bring me something." ”

Soon I saw an entourage next to Xuanyuan Che walking in, taking out an edict from his sleeve and handing it to Xuanyuan Che, and then quickly disappeared into the emperor's bedroom.

"Father, as long as you put a jade seal on this edict, I will give you the antidote immediately." Xuanyuan Che put the edict in front of the emperor and waited for him to cover the jade seal.

"You, you want to force me to make you the crown prince, you dream! I will never make you, a beastly and beastly, the crown prince, let alone hand over the country to you, a beast that has lost its humanity. Although the emperor was weak, he still had a little strength to resist Xuanyuan Che's threat.
