Seven days later, Zhao Yunfan escorted the second prince who was still in a coma back to Beijing safely, and the court was really relieved, even Xibao was also a lot more steady.

For Xibao, she can't control how the second prince is, but her eldest brother must be safe.

As soon as the second prince returned to the palace, he was taken to Kunning Palace to recuperate, and almost all the doctors of the Tai Hospital were announced, and Zhao Yunfan got Qi You's permission after meeting the emperor Qi You, and went to Changxin Palace to meet Xibao.

Qi You knew that Xibao had been worried about Zhao Yunfan, and since he had come back, it was time for them to meet his brother and sister, after all, Zhao Yunfan risked his life to do things for him, and no matter how stingy he was, he couldn't refuse.

When Zhao Yunfan arrived, Xibao was looking forward to it at the gate of the palace, Huan Yan went to the school, Huan Yue slept and let people take it down, as soon as he saw Zhao Yunfan bypassing the corridor, if it wasn't for Wenqin pulling, Xibao would have run out, but Wenqin still knew that there were many ears and eyes, and he had to maintain his image.

Zhao Yunfan arrived at the gate of the palace and saluted Xibao and said, "Weichen Zhao Yunfan meets the concubine." ”

Xibao was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Big brother, please get up, let's talk inside." ”

Finally holding the concubine's shelf to the palace, Wen Qin took the palace people down with great eyes, and she herself waited at the door to prevent others from approaching.

Everyone went down, and Xibao breathed a sigh of relief, and ran to Zhao Yunfan's arms without any scruples and said aggrievedly: "Big brother??? Are you back?? It scared the hell out of me????"

Zhao Yunfan patted Xibao's back and smiled soothingly: "I'm all a mother, and I'm still so bold, big brother, haven't I come back safely, it's okay, don't worry." ”

Xibao leaned in Zhao Yunfan's arms for a long time, until his calves stood a little sore, and then he raised his head and complained: "You think I don't know, you almost risked your life this time, the emperor is stupid for me, and even the eldest brother is stupid for me." ”

Zhao Yunfan smiled: "Sister." You're not stupid, the eldest brother and the emperor just don't want you to worry. ”

"But if you don't say it, I'm more worried!" Xibao muttered.

Zhao Yunfan smiled and said, "You are worried, but let the eldest brother sit down and drink tea." But I came to see you non-stop after seeing the emperor, and I didn't even bother to drink this water. Zhao Yunfan changed the topic.

Xibao complained again, but Zhao Yunfan still came back well, so he was not so worried, so angry. She glanced at Zhao Yunfan and said, "Which one can shorten your sip of tea, sit down." ”

Zhao Yunfan smiled and sat down with a cup of tea and said, "Sister, I just came back and heard that Concubine De gave birth to a prince, didn't I?" ”

Xibao also ate tea and said: "The eldest brother is so well-informed, yes, it has only been born for a short time, but Concubine De is weak, and now the little prince is temporarily raised by Concubine Xian." ”

Zhao Yunfan raised his eyebrows and said, "Concubine De will pinch time." ”

Xibao was stunned and said, "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”

Zhao Yunfan sighed: "This is just the second prince injured, and I vaguely feel that it has something to do with Prime Minister Le Cheng." ”

Xibao was stunned and said: "How come, if you say that it has something to do with Gongsun Shangshu." I would believe that although this Le clan does not deal with the queen, it will not move his brains to the court, let alone the flood that is related to the safety of the people. ”

Zhao Yunfan shook his head and said: "This time, there is a confidant of Prime Minister Le who accompanied the second prince, and when everyone objected to going to the place where the accident occurred, he was one of the few people who should be with the second prince, and this time he also disappeared with the second prince, and no trace has been found until now, so it can be said that there is no one alive or dead." He is the most suspicious, but he is also the most strange where he disappeared, but this is also my suspicion, and this qiē will not be determined until the second prince wakes up. If this is the case, the child of Concubine De will indeed be born at the right time. ”

Xibao frowned and said, "Then big brother, where did you find the second prince?" ”

Zhao Yunfan recalled: "On the third day after I arrived at the place of the incident, I found in a fisherman's house that after all, the second prince had a fateful life, and there were five people who were scattered by the flood, except for one missing. The second prince was rescued, and the bodies of the other three were also found one after another, but the second prince choked too much water, and the water in his lungs was strict, and the doctor guarded it for a day and a night before he was rescued, but the second prince is still in a coma. ”

"Will he be able to wake up?" Xibao asked.

"I don't know about this, the imperial doctor just said that it depends on the situation, but the second prince has been in a coma for these days, and I'm also worried." Zhao Yunfan said.

Xibao changed his mind and asked, "Big brother, is this flood very strict?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Zhao Yunfan took a bite of tea.

"They even dare to do it with the second prince, can this flood be simple?" Xibao said with a sideways look.

Zhao Yunfan smiled: "Sister, you can see it thoroughly. ”

"Big brother is it?" Xibao said curiously.

Zhao Yunfan smiled and did not answer directly, but said slowly: "In addition to sharing the emperor's worries and solving problems for the people, the most important thing in their eyes is political achievements, and natural disasters are the easiest places to make political achievements, and of course they are also very dangerous places." ”

"So that's why the second prince has to go?" Xibao guessed.

Zhao Yunfan gave Xibao an affirmative look and said: "Yes, at first, the emperor wanted to send me, but later it was for the second prince to have some political achievements and be more stable in the court, so he sent the second prince and a cadre of ministers first, but I didn't expect the second prince to be young and vigorous, and he was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he recklessly went to the place of the incident and fell into the trap." ”

"That's all calculated?" Xi Bao was surprised.

"Yes, this seems to have been planned a long time ago, just waiting for the disaster relief people to go." Zhao Yunfan said quietly.

As soon as Zhao Yunfan's words fell, Xibao thought of something and said in horror: "It was originally your business with the eldest brother, but now it has been replaced by the second prince, so ??? They were calculating before that it was you, big brother! ”

Xibao reacted in an instant, and there was a trace of guilt in his heart for the coma of the second prince.

Zhao Yunfan saw it and said: "Sister, this matter is to calculate me, but I knew it from the beginning, and I have already reminded the emperor and the second prince, but it is still like this, it is the life of the second prince, and you and I have nothing to say." ”

"I don't feel indebted, I'm afraid that the Liu family will be angry with you." Xi Bao expressed his concern.

"They won't, and they don't dare, this is what the Liu faction is trying to fight for, but they arranged negligently, so that people with intentions have a chance to take advantage of it, they wanted the second prince to have a good opportunity to make a name for themselves, and make it what it is now, if I am they must stay in peace, lest the emperor make a raft." Zhao Yunfan said.

"Big brother, how many people does this matter have to do with it?" Xibao said curiously.

"Little sister, the eldest brother said that this harem has always been inextricably linked with the court, even if the emperor is enlightened and virtuous, he can't avoid this relationship, especially after having a child, this concubine or a prince's honor and favor is related to the family forces behind it, how many people do you say is involved?" Zhao Yunfan asked rhetorically.

"I understand, it's just that this Gongsun family is too well disguised, she has been extremely low-key and modest over the years, and the attention in the backyard is basically on the Le family and the Liu family, it turns out that she is the one who is the deepest." Xi Bao pondered for a moment and said.

Zhao Yunfan glanced at Xibao and said, "Sister, you should have seen it a long time ago, this biting dog will not bark." ”

"However, Gongsun and I don't have any troubles, and even our relationship is okay." Xibao said strangely.

"This is where the Gongsun clan is powerful, you should have found out, in private, the Gongsun clan should be gentle and gentle with anyone, there is almost no dispute, everyone's impression of the Gongsun clan is mostly the same, right?" Zhao Yunfan asked.

Xibao was surprised: "Why is the eldest brother so clear? ”

"These are your potential opponents, the eldest brother will naturally understand it clearly, Gongsun is very low-key, but this is where she is powerful, you also said before, Gongsun has been low-key and calm for more than ten years, and even the eldest prince has been affected, and he is very calm and sophisticated, this is where Gongsun's foresight is planned, she is betting on her son's future, and now things are developing in her favor." Zhao Yunfan said.

"Big brother means that the emperor will be biased?" Xibao asked.

"It's not that I'm biased, but I will pay more attention to the eldest prince, after all, the adult prince is just the two of them, although you are favored, but Huanyue is too young, and it will not pose a threat to them at all for a while, so you are now the object of the Gongsun clan's wooing, not the object of calculation, which the emperor has long seen clearly." Zhao Yunfan analyzed little by little.

"That's why the emperor took great pains to arrange for the eldest prince to train under you?" Xibao understood Qi You's good intentions.

"Yes, so this time the emperor didn't send me to go with the second prince." Zhao Yunfan said.

Xibao was a little surprised but also a little relieved after knowing this relationship, this is not often said in the book, the harem is a treacherous place, if there is no such intrigue, this is not called the harem.

Thinking of this, Xibao asked again: "Are you too peaceful on this journey?" ”

Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "Thank you sister for handing the letter to the emperor in time, the emperor did not procrastinate, he simply dealt with it decisively and directly, caught and caught, punished, depreciated, copied, where can they take care of us, besides, there are Royal Forest Army escorts all the way back, and it is very safe." ”

Xibao took a long breath and said: "That's good, that's good, these days my father and sister-in-law are so nervous that I can't do it, I directly asked my father and mother to take my sister-in-law and the child back to the house to live temporarily, now you can come back, okay, big brother, it's good to know that you're fine, you're tired from a long journey, go back to rest early, by the way, go back to your father and mother to pick up your sister-in-law and child." ”

Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "It's troublesome for my sister during this time, okay, I won't bother much, this is back, you take care of yourself in the palace, the eldest brother can't always be by your side, you have to be careful." ”

Xibao nodded and smiled, and sent Zhao Yunfan away???????

Zhao Yunfan also came back safely, Xibao's heart was also steady, looking at the begonia flowers that had gradually bloomed in the yard, Xibao smiled: "It's time to eat crabs again." (To be continued.) )
