That night, the conference hall of the Prince's Mansion was full of people, all of whom were confidential ministers of the Xi Kingdom.

"Prince, you have to be extra careful in this situation at the moment, with the speed of King Qingping, he should rush back to the palace in less than three days, just in case, you had better stay by the emperor's side every inch in the past few days." Hubu Shangshu Fei Yunti yì.

The implication couldn't be clearer - he hoped that Chu Zican would guard against Chu Zihou, lest the latter have the opportunity to let Emperor Guangzhao revise his will.

"Well, I'll move directly to my father's room tomorrow to spend the night." Chu Zican said.

"Judging from the fact that the emperor supported King Kaiqingping, the emperor is inclined to pass on the throne to you, so you don't need to worry too much." Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wen Tibao said.

Chu Zican nodded again, looked at everyone and said aloud: "As long as your seniors are willing to do their best to assist me, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future." ”

Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Chu Zican personally got up and watched them leave.

After the ministers left, Chu Zican fell into deep thought again.

He knew that even if Chu Zihou did not compete with him for the throne, as long as Emperor Guangzhao died, the relationship between himself and Chu Zihou would become tense.

First, Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen's abilities are very strong, and it is impossible for him to destroy them, at most he can only suppress them desperately, but the more he suppresses them, the greater the resistance, so he doesn't know how to treat them. Demoted? No, their contribution to the Xi Kingdom is so great, if they do this, they will definitely arouse everyone's dissatisfaction and condemnation. But if they retain their official positions, then Shen Xizhen will have to be his imperial military advisor. Will she still assist him like she assisted Emperor Guangzhao? He didn't have any confidence in it, and it felt awkward to think about it. Second, it is because they are so capable. The prosperity of the Xi Kingdom in the future is still indispensable to them, so he can't help but see them.

When he thought about it, he felt very upset.

He felt that he might have to talk to Shen Xizhen to see what she meant. This woman was extraordinary, and he had to pay extra attention to her movements.

Hua Yueyu walked slowly to his side and said softly, "No matter what, the prince, you must not go against your second brother and Guang'an Hou. Do you remember the demotion of your mother and Concubine Dong? And then there's the fact that you're grounded. ”

She was reminding him that he was no match for the two of them, and that if he made a rash move this time, he was afraid that not only would he not be able to defeat them, but he would hurt himself.

Chu Zihou looked back at Hua Yueyu's still beautiful face and said, "I haven't forgotten it, I won't do anything with them." At least not on the surface. With that, he pressed his face to her August pregnant belly.

Even for the sake of this unborn child, he had to avoid bloodshed as much as possible.

"Since we can't deal with them for a while, we might as well let them be of our use." The flower moon ballad said again.

Chu Zican nodded.

…………….

The next morning. Chu Zican asked someone to move his pillows to Emperor Guangzhao's room. He is ready to take care of Emperor Guangzhao day and night from today onwards.

Chu Ziyao saw that his eldest brother was so filial, and he was embarrassed to say nothing, so he also asked someone to help him move his pillow.

Chu Zican did not object.

Chu Ziyao sighed secretly - if he was replaced by a second brother, maybe the prince would be unhappy.

Speaking of which, is it because he is not a threat to the prince that the prince is so good to him, right? Chu Ziyao couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought about this.

Emperor Guangzhao's body is getting worse day by day.

The entire palace was whispering: "Why hasn't the emperor decreed his abdication?" ”

The ministers of the DPRK and China had a heated discussion. The number of people who agreed with the emperor's abdication and those who disagreed was comparable, and everyone had their own opinions, which made people more and more panicked. At last. The two prime ministers expressed their willingness to advise Emperor Guangzhao and ask him to announce the name of his successor as soon as possible. To reassure the people.

The courtiers finally fell silent.

The two prime ministers reported the opinions of the ministers to Emperor Guangzhao, who pretended not to hear.

They knelt down again and begged Emperor Guangzhao to make a statement, and Emperor Guangzhao said slowly: "Do you want me to die sooner?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

"Then let's step back first."

The two prime ministers looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything more, so they were ordered to retreat.

………………….

Shen Xizhen came into the palace every day to greet Emperor Guangzhao, and when Emperor Guangzhao's spirit improved, he would play a song for him, and help deal with the court affairs that Emperor Guangzhao asked her to help with.

Chu Zican felt both respectful and worried every time he saw her, but because Emperor Guangzhao was by his side, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Of course, Shen Xizhen knew Chu Zican's thoughts, but she pretended not to know anything, what should she do.

"Your Majesty, after your dragon body is a little calmer, the courtiers want to apply to the north (formerly the Mao Kingdom) to quell the people's uprising." Shen Xizhen admonished Emperor Guangzhao.

It was rare for Emperor Guangzhao to be in such good spirits as today, so she hurriedly seized the opportunity.

Shen Xizhen deliberately said this in front of the crown prince Chu Zican, firstly, to let the prince relax his guard against her, and secondly, to prevent the prince from attacking her when he ascended the throne, because there is still Liu Ming in the north, she can take care of him together, and she can also gather a lot of troops for Chu Zihou.

Emperor Guangzhao heard her application and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that my body won't be better for a while, and I will arrange for others to go over there to quell the popular uprising." ”

Shen Xizhen pondered for a while and replied: "It's okay, the courtier recommended that you send Zhou Bangmin, the Taishou of Lucheng, and Yu Sichen, the Taishou of Luzhou, these two adults are very good at dealing with civil conflicts. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." So Emperor Guangzhao immediately called someone to inform Zhou Bangmin and Yu Sichen to enter the palace to discuss matters.

Shen Xizhen had just walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and within a few steps, he saw Chu Zican chasing after him.

"Guang'anhou, can we talk a few words?" Chu Zican asked sincerely. When his eyes met hers, which were as clear as water, he couldn't help but be moved.

How can anyone maintain such a pure gaze after going through so many things?

"Of course you can, the prince has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Shen Xizhen replied with a smile.

"Father's current state is probably not optimistic, you are his former military advisor, what are your next plans?" Chu Zican asked her softly.

Shen Xizhen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly figured out the meaning of his question, did he want her to continue to be his military advisor or hinted that she would leave at this opportunity?

At the end she smiled and said, "I can do whatever I want then, I don't have any ideas yet." ”

Doesn't that mean you haven't answered? Chu Zichan smiled, but also applauded her wit.

She doesn't talk to death, she always leaves a way back for herself and others.

Chu Zican suddenly made up his mind - let her be his military advisor at that time.

Before, he thought it might be a little awkward, but after talking to her today, he felt that his previous worries were not at all.

"But I'll make a decision when I have an idea." She added.

Chu Zican's originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense again. (To be continued......)
