"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time for the dynasty." The slave on the side reminded the emperor in a whisper, but the emperor didn't react at all, the slave glanced at the sky outside, and said a little anxiously: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, change to early." ”

"I don't want to go to court today, you let those people go back." The emperor stared at a painting intently, and said a little unintentionally: "You all go out, I don't want to see anyone today, don't let anyone disturb me." ”

"Yes!" The servant glanced at the emperor worriedly, slowly retreated, and immediately ran to the main hall to pass on the emperor's message.

"Is my father unwell? Why did you suddenly not go to court? Xuanyuan Che immediately stepped forward and asked, and also asked the questions in the hearts of many people. The emperor has been in power for decades, and there is almost no situation where he can't go to the court, even if he was unwell before, he will not be absent, so this time he suddenly didn't go to the court, which made many people talk about it.

"Back to the eldest prince, the slave is only responsible for passing the word, and nothing else." The slave said respectfully, after being by the emperor's side for so many years, he also clearly knows what to say and what not to say, but now the situation is unclear, and the slave is smart not to offend Xuanyuan Che, so as not to settle the account after the autumn.

Xuanyuan Che had a gloomy face, and he wanted to be angry, but he knew that it was now in the main hall, and there were so many people watching it, so he endured it, pursed his lips and glared at the minion.

The three sons of the Murong family looked at each other, and vaguely guessed in their hearts that the emperor's absence from the court was related to Xuanyuan Hao's death, but the three of them quietly closed their mouths and quietly observed the situation in the court.

Compared with Xuanyuan Che's displeasure, the silence of the three sons of the Murong family, Xuanyuan Mo seemed to have a calm face, as if the emperor had nothing to do with him.

The servant looked at everyone's discussions, pretended to cough and spoke again: "The emperor's message, I don't want to be disturbed today, please don't disturb the emperor." After saying that, the minion looked at everyone's reactions again, and then quietly left the main hall.

The emperor has been looking at the woman in the painting, it is an extremely beautiful woman, if it is just beautiful, then there are too many beautiful women in this harem, but the woman in the painting is not only beautiful, but also very gentle, just looking at the eyes of the person in the painting, you can feel her gentleness and kindness.

"I'm sorry for you. I promised you to take good care of our child, but I didn't protect him. The emperor said to the woman in the painting with a heavy heart, the woman in the painting is none other than Xuanyuan Hao's biological mother, the emperor's favorite woman, the late Imperial Concubine. The emperor gently stroked the face of the woman in the painting and whispered, "Have you met our son there, and his princess?" Our son has grown up with a heroic appearance, and his princess is a heroic woman, they are really a good match, if you see them, you must take good care of them. ”

The emperor said that his heart ached when he was sad, and his body suddenly fell to the ground unsteadily, holding his chest with one hand.

"Your Majesty!" The servants guarding outside the door heard a sudden noise in the house, and immediately rushed in to take a look, and found that the emperor had fainted on the ground.

The news of the emperor's fainting soon spread throughout the government and the opposition, and even the queen and the imperial concubine were alarmed, and the two hurried in unison, but they were stopped at the door.

"The slave is to the queen, and the imperial concubine is in peace." The servant beside the emperor stood at the door with his back hunched and respectfully stopped, "The emperor doesn't want to see anyone now, please ask the queen, the imperial concubine to go back first." ”

"The emperor is sick, can't this palace even take a look at it as the queen?" The queen glared at the servant angrily and said, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way of the palace." ”

"Queen." The slave knelt on the ground in horror, although he was frightened, he still insisted on blocking the door and not letting people approach, "Queen, don't embarrass the slave, it's not that the slave won't let you in, but this is the emperor's dictation." ”

"Don't scare the palace with the emperor." Hearing the minion mention the emperor, the queen was even more angry, thinking that he was a fox and a fake tiger, relying on the emperor and not putting himself in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to hit this minion, but was stopped by the imperial concubine.

"Sister, don't embarrass this minion." The imperial concubine persuaded the queen softly and said: "I don't think this slave dares to fake the emperor's message, if we break in, it will be worth the loss if we annoy the emperor at that time, it is better for us to go back first, and we will come back when the emperor is better and willing to see us." ”

The queen looked at the kind expression of the imperial concubine, felt very hypocritical, and sneered in her heart, but she still said with a hypocritical smile on her face: "Since my sister said so, then the palace will no longer embarrass this minion, but the palace is very worried about the emperor's body." ”

"The concubine knows her sister's mood." The imperial concubine turned her head to look at the servant who was still kneeling on the ground and said charitentially: "Get up, you are waiting for the emperor well, if the emperor has any situation, you must tell the queen and me in time." ”

"Yes, the minions will remember it." When the servant heard the imperial concubine say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and nodded his head in agreement.

"Sister, let's go." The imperial concubine stepped forward to support the queen, respectfully supporting her and preparing to leave.

The queen glanced into the room, but saw nothing, glared at the servant fiercely, and then turned away angrily.

"The Queen Mother." Seeing the queen return to the palace, Xuanyuan Che, who had been anxious, immediately greeted him, and couldn't wait to ask, "How is my father?" ”

After the queen sat down on the chair in a hurry, she looked at Xuanyuan Che and said: "I haven't seen the emperor, and now the emperor doesn't see anyone, even the imperial concubine is turned away." ”

"So no one knows what's going on inside now?" Xuanyuan Che said with a solemn face: "The father suddenly fell, the crown prince has not been established, if the father really has something in case, then there will be chaos in the palace, and then the capable will live there." ”

The queen was silent for a while before she spoke: "Now we have to speed up, you will contact some ministers as soon as you leave the palace, try to win them over, if the emperor really has something, the more people who support you at that time, the more beneficial it will be for you to compete for the throne." How many ministers are currently on your side? ”

As soon as the queen asked, Xuanyuan Che immediately fell silent, he had offended many people with his arrogance and arrogance before, and when he saw the sharp gaze cast by the queen, he defended himself with some weakness: "Now many ministers in the court have a wait-and-see attitude, and many of the forces on the side of the sons and daughters are relatives of the queen mother. ”

The queen was so shrewd, why didn't she see the emptiness that flashed in Xuanyuan Che's eyes, but she was smart not to expose it, and said calmly: "I will help you personally solve the problem with the relatives on the queen mother's side, as for the other ministers who are watching the situation, you must come to the door one by one to show your sincerity." ”

"This-" Xuanyuan Che was a little resistant in his heart, and always felt that it was a little difficult to beg those ministers, but when he saw the queen's stern gaze, he reluctantly nodded and said, "Erchen knows." ”

The queen also saw that Xuanyuan Che replied very reluctantly, so she said earnestly: "The big husband can bend and stretch, and those who become big things are not informal, you can't be short-sighted and only look at the things in front of you, think about the throne, think about the supreme right in the future, what you do now is nothing." ”

"The sons understand, and the sons must remember the teachings of the queen mother." Xuanyuan Che thought about the queen's words and felt that there was some truth, and there was also the prime minister on his side, Xuanyuan Che also felt that those things were nothing, so he got up and said: "Erchen will contact those ministers now, and Erchen will retire." ”

After Xuanyuan Che left, the queen thought thoughtfully for a while before entering a secret room in the bedroom.

After receiving the summons of the imperial concubine, Xuanyuan Mo immediately hurried to the palace, and before he had time to say goodbye, he was immediately pulled into the inner room by the imperial concubine.

"Mother, is there something important in the palace? I heard that my father suddenly fainted, how is my father doing now? Xuanyuan Mo asked eagerly, worried not about the emperor's health, but worried about the emperor's chaos once something happened to the emperor.

The imperial concubine glanced outside meaningfully, gave Xuanyuan Mo a look and pretended to be casual and said: "Today I went to see the emperor and met the queen, both of us were turned away, and now we don't know the situation of your father, you have time to go over and see your father." ”

Xuanyuan Mo nodded, and said understandingly: "I know, but I think my father should not see anyone now." ”

"Yes." The imperial concubine nodded, and then said: "Then you have to take the time to enter the palace a few more times, your father is sick now, you must be more filial as a son, your father loves you so much on weekdays." ”

"Got it, mother, the retainers will remember the words of the mother." Xuanyuan Mo nodded, glanced around, and said to the maid next to him: "How do you serve the imperial concubine, the weather is getting colder, why don't you even have a stove, don't you know that the imperial concubine is not in good health, and she can't be cold?" If the imperial concubine is sick and unwell, you will definitely not be able to spare you. ”

"The three princes forgive their sins, and the slaves and maids will go to get the stove." Several maids in the house were scolded by Xuanyuan Mo like this, and immediately knelt on the ground in fright and begged for mercy, and then ran out one by one to get the stove.

After the imperial concubine saw that the maids in the house had left, the expression on her face immediately became serious, and she whispered to Xuanyuan Mo: "Time is pressing, I'll make a long story short, I don't know what the emperor's condition is now, we have to strike first, I asked you to contact the ministers of the court before, how many people have you contacted, and how many people are on your side?" ”

"I contacted a few ministers, but my influence in the DPRK is not very important." Xuanyuan Mo said with some heaviness: "I've been thinking about it for a few days, if I want to win the eldest prince, there is only one person who can help me." ”

"You mean General Murong?" The imperial concubine quickly guessed that the person who could help her in Xuanyuan Mo's mouth was Murong He, and asked with some suspicion: "But are you sure that the general will help you?" ”

Xuanyuan Mo was silent for a while before shaking his head and saying, "I'm not sure he'll help me, but I'll try to convince him." ”

"This is the best, the emperor trusts the general so much, if you have the help of the general, then your chances of winning must be very high." The Imperial Concubine nodded approvingly, but she was still a little worried and said: "The news that the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses have just passed away came, I think the Great General's Mansion must not be in the mood to pay attention to these at this time, and it will definitely be very difficult for you to convince the Great General." ”

"I've thought about that, but I still have that confidence." Xuanyuan Mo said confidently, with a confident glint in his eyes, he suddenly stood up and said, "Mother, I'll go back first, I'll go to the General's Mansion now." ”

The imperial concubine nodded, and did not stop him, if Xuanyuan Mo could really pull Murong He into his camp, this would be the best thing.
