"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!" The third prince said busily.

"Not necessarily." The emperor raised his hand and said with difficulty.

Gonggong Lu, who was about to walk out, hurriedly stopped his steps and stood respectfully beside the emperor.

The emperor closed his eyes for a long time and did not say a word.

The Third Prince and Yan Yunpei carefully observed his expression.

But seeing that the emperor's brows were deeply locked, his face was full of sadness.

Obviously, the death of the fifth prince was a big blow to him.

The emperor's heart was surging and trembling with his eyes closed.

The day before yesterday, Gonggong Zhang, who was ordered to visit the crown prince in the prison, reported to the emperor: "When the servant told the abolished prince that the emperor had sent a servant to visit him, he did not have a trace of expression on his face and did not respond. ”

After hearing this, the tears in the emperor's eyes suddenly flowed out like water bursting the embankment.

"How's his body? How much does it take? The emperor asked while wiping his tears.

"Back to the emperor, according to the people in charge of the prison, the prince's condition tends to become stricter day by day, and the meals that have been sent in recently are always left there as they are, and it seems that he has no appetite."

Since last year, the prince knew that the prince was sick in prison, and the emperor also sent a special imperial doctor to see him, but he had to take a lot of medicine to no avail, and finally let it be.

Many people thought that the prince would not survive last winter, but they didn't expect him to survive.

It was precisely because he survived that the emperor's hatred for him slowly subsided, so he sent Gonggong Zhang to visit him.

After listening to Gonggong Zhang's story, the emperor suddenly felt that his heart hurt like a needle prick.

On that day, the emperor went to the prison to see the prince in person for the first time.

When Gonggong Zhang shouted to the prince, 'The emperor has arrived,' the abolished prince still sat quietly on the dilapidated wooden bench as if he hadn't heard it.

"I didn't even salute the emperor when he came, did I want to be beaten by the board?" Gonggong Zhang reprimanded loudly.

The deposed prince remained motionless.

Zhang Gonggong was so angry that his face was flushed, and he hurriedly said to the person in charge: "You go to see if he is asleep for me." ”

The prisoner hurriedly opened the cage and went in to check.

The waste prince did not fall asleep, but his expression was almost like falling asleep.

The prison manager has long been used to it, so he didn't think there was anything wrong, but the emperor who came to visit the abolished prince for the first time was shocked.

The emperor couldn't connect the dull-eyed man in front of him with the smart, clever and laughing prince back then.

"Yan'er." The emperor called the abolished prince softly.

The deposed prince did not respond.

Gonggong Zhang said loudly: "The emperor is calling you." ”

The other party still didn't react at all.

The emperor approached the deposed prince.

Seeing the prince's eyes were dull and dry. Although he is only in his twenties, he already looks like he is about to die.

The emperor suddenly became sad, and turned around and left without saying anything.

The crown prince figured out that Guò asked someone to perform witchcraft on the emperor and killed the emperor.

Although the actions of the five princes last night were different from those of the crown prince back then, their purpose was the same.

One by one, they are all in my current position. The emperor thought infinitely sadly in his heart.

Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons.

Most people understand this truth, but why do they often end up with a king who is not a king, a minister who is not a minister, a father who is not a father, and a son who is not a son?

Not much. The emperor sneered: "They don't understand ......"

He didn't finish the sentence, but suddenly whispered, "Retribution! ”

The three princes and Yan Yunpei all heard the emperor's words clearly.

They didn't dare to say a word.

But they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The time of the court arrived in a blink of an eye, and the emperor walked slowly to the court with the support of Gonggong Zhang.

The third prince quickly stepped forward to hold his other hand, but was stopped by him coldly with his eyes.

In the court, the extremely tired and sickly Son of Heaven announced the death of the five princes to the civil and military officials.

The Son of Heaven said this in such a light tone and with such a sad expression, which made the three princes and Yan Yunpei who were kneeling below feel as uncomfortable as if they had been thrust into their hearts with daggers.

But they didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal.

In fact, what the emperor said was all the truth, so they had no way to refute it.

The Son of Heaven only told the ministers about the death of the five princes, but did not mention the reason for the death of the five princes.

This has to make the civil and military officials wonder.

But no one dared to ask questions lightly.

Because they are all smart people, they don't want to open which pot they don't mention.

After retiring from the dynasty, the three princes and Yan Yunpei were called to the Qianqing Palace by the emperor as usual.

The emperor looked at the three princes and Yan Yun for a long time with a majestic gaze. In the end, he said: "I am not a fool, I will not be able to distinguish the truth from the false, although you confessed in time, but if I don't give you a certain punishment, I can't explain to the people under Jiuquan, so Rui'er will be grounded for half a year, and Yan Aiqing will be demoted and removed from your position as the head of the Supervision Bureau." As for which department I want to descend to, I haven't decided yet, and I'll let you know when I've figured it out. ”

This is already extraordinarily gracious.

The third prince and Yan Yunpei hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

The emperor then turned to the third prince and said, "You go back today and talk to the imperial concubine, and tomorrow after the morning court, you can go directly to Sijing Garden." ”

"Yes." The third prince said busily.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and the third prince hurriedly asked softly: "Can the fifth brother be allowed to go to the funeral when he is buried?" ”

The emperor slowly opened his half-closed eyes and looked at the third prince.

After a long time, the emperor said, "No need. ”

The three princes wanted to speak and stopped. Finally, he replied, "Yes." ”

"Stand down, I'm tired." The emperor waved his hand.

The two of them hurriedly got up and left.

On the way from the Qianqing Palace to the gate of the palace, the two did not say a word.

Out of the palace gate, Yan Yunpei looked at the three princes and said, "The three princes should not be discouraged. ”

The third prince smiled and said, "Yes." And he said, "We'll see you again in half a year." ”

"Yes." Yan Yunpei said busily.

In fact, there are many things I want to say in my heart, but when it comes to my mouth, I feel that they are all redundant. Therefore, Yan Yunpei respectfully saluted the third prince and said, "Don't leave it at that." ”

The third prince smiled and said, "Hmm." With that, he went straight to the carriage.

Yan Yunpei also got into the carriage.

When the carriage reached the intersection where the fight had taken place last night, Yan Yunpei suddenly said to the coachman, "Let's go another way." ”

The coachman immediately took the road on the far right.

It was already afternoon when I arrived at Chaoxingmen.

Mrs. Lu and Su Shanyun, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, hurriedly went out to greet them.

Seeing that Yan Yunpei came back safe and sound, Mrs. Lu couldn't care about her demeanor anymore, and threw herself into his arms and cried. (To be continued.) )

PS: Dear friends, the second shift is coming.
