The spirit of the Zhengtai hall raised the spirit flag, the sheep fat candle was burning brightly, so that the fluttering flag shadow projected into the deep hall, the whole palace was as bright as day, but there was no slightest vitality, the eunuchs on both sides of the palace stood silently, only to hear the concubines crying lowly, I don't know whether it is really for the fault of filial piety, or crying for their uncertain future.

Jiang You knelt on the funeral bed of Emperor Xiaozong, she knelt down with a wooden expression, and Xiangyin persuaded in a mournful voice: "It's been three days, even if you don't think about your body, you should think more about the society of Daqi, you are entrusted by all the people in the world, and you have to take care of yourself." ”

As soon as Xue Yuan came out three days ago, Jiang You immediately rushed in, at this time Xiaozong had completely fainted, and the imperial doctors were unable to return to the sky despite all their efforts, and they could watch Xiaozong suddenly bleed from seven orifices, and said the word 'Ning' in his mouth, and then collapsed.

What he said before he died was like both 'Ning' and 'Ying', and no one guessed why. At noon, the bell and drum rang, the emperor was in a big way, Jiang You, as the crown prince, had to be busy with everything, plus she and Xiaozong had a deep relationship, and she hadn't had a good rest and meal for several days.

Concubine Shu has the highest position, and she has been with her side intermittently for several days, and at this time she was a little overwhelmed, so she hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness's body is important, let's rest for a while." "She can rest for a while.

Jiang You let go of the way, shook his head and said, "I can't eat or sleep." She turned her head and asked, "Is Concubine Shu still troublesome?" ”

Concubine Shu wiped away her tears and pressed the plain white forehead on her forehead: "My body is useless, and I have been tired of His Highness for the past few days." She raised her head again, frowned and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, my heart is like a knife, I can't sleep well day and night, and the head wind is becoming more and more strict, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep it tonight."

On weekdays, there are not many opportunities for ministers to enter the palace, and she and her father and brother have not seen each other for many years, but now they just take advantage of the emperor's big trip and the minister's funeral opportunity to meet and discuss how to go behind, of course, it is impossible to spend time here day and night.

She is the niece of the Queen Mother, so she is so fearless, Xiangyin is afraid that something will happen to her, and the Queen Mother will not look good when she comes back, so she glanced at Jiang You, and when she snorted coldly, she could only bless herself and said: "Niangniang, you have worked a lot these days, and you should take care of yourself." ”

Jiang You frowned and saw that Concubine Shu was full of pain, and said impatiently: "Concubine Niangniang go down to rest first, and come back when you get better." ”

Concubine Shu Guifei was like being amnestied, and hurriedly helped the hand of the palace maid next to her and walked out.

Jiang You looked at her back, pursed his lips and said unhappily: "I usually don't see her have a headache, but at this time, she has a seizure, and she is really lazy." She flicked her sleeves and said, "In a few hours, you will go and call her!" ‘

Xiangyin sighed, as if he wanted to say something, but saw King Ning slowly walk in, hurriedly closed his mouth, stood up and stood aside.

King Ning was also full of grief, knelt beside Jiang You and said, "Your Highness, your body is important, you can't let the emperor's spirit in the sky also worry." He wished that the child would die early, but he had to do it anyway. He thought for a moment, "If you don't dislike it, I'll let Roufu accompany you." ”

Jiang You raised his eyes and looked at the strict filial piety who was buried, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "Cousin Roufu is weak, don't come, it's windy at night, don't get sick." She turned her head and asked, "Is the day of my father's funeral set?" ”

King Ning nodded: "The people who ordered the Qin Heavenly Prison have calculated, and the twenty-seventh day will be a good day after the twenty-seventh day." He persuaded a few more words, suddenly sighed, got up and left without saying a word, the officials all went back to their respective homes, the palace concubines with low status were not qualified to come, and the high-ranking palace took turns to rest, and the hall was a little empty outside.

He walked a few steps, and suddenly a person dressed as a female official walked straight out of the side hall with a medicine jar, and he turned sideways to avoid it, and saw the female official raise her face and nodded very lightly at him.

King Ning showed a mysterious smile in his eyes, and patted her hand secretly, but his face was still solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Be careful." ”

The female official pursed her lips, and then bowed her head respectfully and said, "The slave and maid are provincial, and the prince forgives the sin." ”

After only a few moments of conversation, the two staggered and went to the outside of the hall and into the hall.

Xiangyin saw the female official come in with medicine, and said with a look of shame: "It should be my business, but I'm tired of Miss Cui again." She took the medicine jar with both hands: "You were originally a member of the Imperial Palace, so you shouldn't have done such stupid work. ”

Zhu Cui smiled: "What's the trouble is not troublesome, I am also waiting for people to come." She glanced sideways at Jiang You, and said in a low voice: "The prince is sad, you are comforting by the side, and the decoction is also an errand that I took care of, so you don't have to feel sorry." ”

Jiang You had been serving in front of Xiaozong for a few days ago, and the imperial doctor was afraid that she would be too sick, so he prescribed several sets of tonic prescriptions.

She and Xiangyin went to one side for a while, took out the filter cloth and put it on the jade bowl, carefully separated the medicine residue, and then asked Jiang You to take medicine for a while, she came in and looked at the black medicinal juice, raised her hand to cover her nose and said, "Why let me drink this again, I'm not sick." ”

Xiangyin coaxed softly: "This is for you to condition your body, you can use it well, and after a few days of conditioning, we won't drink it." Seeing Jiang You's expression relaxed, she took a silver needle to try, and said apologetically to Hui Cui: "The rules of our East Palace"

Hui Cui smiled: "The slave can save it." She said and took a cup and poured it for herself, and Xiangyin saw that she was not abnormal, so she handed it to Jiang You with confidence.

Jiang You took a sip and suddenly asked, "What about Xue's palm print?" Why haven't you seen him lately? ”

Xiangyin didn't expect her to suddenly ask about this, and she was stunned before saying: "There are a lot of things at hand for palm prints, and now people are in Dongchang." ”

Jiang You nodded, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, so he held his forehead and said, "You help me out." ”

Xiangyin hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but didn't take anyone out, just said: "You haven't slept well in the past few days, so let's rest in the side hall first and then go to the vigil." She added: "The slave and maid turned around and called Shugui Concubine Niangniang." ”

Jiang You felt a little depressed, leaned on the couch and half-closed his eyes, and nodded slowly for a while, Xiangyin thought she was tired, and busily served her to take off her clothes and shoes outside, took a blanket to cover her, and turned the charcoal fire a little stronger, so she slowed down and pulled Cui out of the house.

Jiang You curled up on the couch tiredly, half-asleep and half-awake when she suddenly heard the sound of the wind hitting the window, she snorted lowly, and was half-opened by the noise.

She got up from the couch, and in a trance she only saw the lights flickering on and off, and the whole side hall was particularly gloomy, she supported the bed with one hand and stood up, and in a trance she only heard the woman's low howl, which was particularly infiltrating in the empty side hall.

Jiang You suddenly felt a little dry mouth, his heart was pounding, and he hurriedly reached out to get the tea on the table, and when he heard the sound of 'dangchang', the white porcelain teapot rolled on the ground a few times.

Xiangyin, who was standing outside and waiting, heard the sound of the inner room, and hurriedly opened the curtain to look, and saw Jiang You sitting on the couch with a blanket, looking around with a worried expression.

Xiangyin was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to coax her: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" But a nightmare? ”

Jiang You listened to the voice of Xiangyin, his expression eased, and he pointed to the corner of the side hall and said: "Where is the sound, you go and see" The second half of her sentence automatically fell silent, and the one standing in front of her was Xiangyin, it was clearly a woman with a cloak and a bloody face, she smiled sadly, and stretched out her white hand

Xiangyin was about to raise her hand to help Jiang You, when she saw her look panicked and took a few steps back, and the person almost fell off the couch and said loudly: "Don't come here!" ”

Xiangyin was stunned and said: "Your Highness, the slave is Xiangyin, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang You flinched instead, and the person jumped off the bed and ran out in a panic.

Xiangyin paused on the spot, and after a while, he hurriedly chased out, and while calling Jiang You, he instructed the people around him: "Quick, go and invite the factory father, Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Li to come!" ”

In the past few days, Xue Yuan has been busy interrogating the assassin, this assassin is also tough, and it took so many days to confess that King Ning is the mastermind, he sat behind the desk and pondered, Cheng Bei carefully added a pot of tea, and asked in a low voice: "Overseer, King Ning's side"

Xue Yuanxin smiled happily, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was extremely beautiful, but he couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes: "Since everyone has calculated on our heads, can we continue to endure standing on the dry shore?" ”

He was about to give an order, when he saw someone hurriedly running into the Dongchang to spread the word, saying that something had happened to Jiang You, he paused, stood in place and muttered: "You said that something happened to Your Highness?" It's okay to see you at noon today, what the hell is going on? ”

The eunuch who came to deliver the message knelt down and said, "I don't know why, Your Highness suddenly fell ill with hysteria, and he had been sleeping well, but he ran away all of a sudden, and almost fell into the lake of the Imperial Garden. ”

Xue Yuan's face was slightly condensed, and he stepped out. When he arrived at the hall of the dead spirit, Jiang You's maternal uncle Zhenguo Gong and King Ning were standing outside the hall with a worried face, and there was a circle of people outside the hall, Zhen Guogong was particularly anxious, but he only dared to probe half of his body: "Your Highness, I am Zhang Shouling, the eldest brother of the queen, your own uncle, don't you even know the minister?" ”

Xue Yuan took a look, and saw that Jiang You was quite wolf, still holding a sword in his hand that he got out of nowhere, his fingers were white because of excessive force, no matter what Zhen Guogong said, she just stepped back tremblingly.

King Ning also stood outside the hall, and said anxiously: "This prince has been overthinking lately, I'm afraid he's crazy!" ”

Xue Yuan glanced at him lightly, turned his head and said, "Escort all the people who are serving in the palace today." As soon as he finished speaking, all the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting below were dragged down tremblingly, and in a blink of an eye, they were empty, leaving Xiangyin kneeling in the center of the courtyard.

Zhenguo Gong was worried about Jiang You, but when he heard this, he frowned and glanced at King Ning, and said in a deep voice: "The prince is cautious." "Jiang You is about to take the throne now, and now if there is crazy news, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach the great treasure.

King Ning was stunned for a moment, then made a look of shame, and sighed: "Loneliness is also urgent. ”

Xue Yuan took a few steps forward, and the two of them saw him, King Ning's eyes were different, but Zhen Guogong adhered to the capable style of a martial artist, and took a step forward and said: "Gong Chang, the prince is fine during the day, what's wrong now?" ”

Xue Yuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, our family has just arrived, how can we know what's wrong with the prince?" ”

Zhen Guogong frowned, but he couldn't hold back, Xue Yuanruo glanced at King Ning without a look: "The prince seems to be quite clear about His Highness's symptoms." After speaking, without waiting for King Ning to explain, he stepped in, and whispered to Jiang You, who was holding a seven-foot sword and retreating in a panic: "Your Highness, come over and let the ministers take a look." ”
