“…… You've thought about it too much. It is estimated that if she says no at this time, the maid in front of her will think more and more, Qing Jin is too lazy to defend, and she has no heart to continue to sneer, but she just spit out these words weakly.

Seeing that Qing Jin only reprimanded her with only four words, the mandarin duck immediately guessed correctly with a look of slave and maid, the master obviously cared about the slave's expression, and his eyes were full of gratitude and looked at Qing Jin, and at the same time he felt warm in his heart, and the heavy mind just now became brisk, but before he was completely relieved, thinking of what had just happened, the mandarin duck's heart was worried again, those defective and inferior products sent were definitely not allowed to be eaten and used by the master.

"Early tomorrow morning, you take the two people in the courtyard to the corner gate of the mansion and wait to pick up things!" Qing Jin flipped through the book in her hand, just thinking of the letter from the private guard in the morning, and said to the mandarin duck without raising her head.

"Someone sent something to the master?" The mandarin duck was worried in her heart, and when she heard Qing Jin's words, she subconsciously asked with some surprise, and when she came back to her senses, she immediately thought that she had asked a little overstepping, and admitted her mistake: "It's the slave who lost her words!" "But why did she take two people with her? Suddenly, thinking of a possibility, the mandarin duck was a little expectant and a little scared, and finally couldn't help but say hopefully: "...... Can a slave sue a slave or a slave for something? ”

"Zhuangzi sent it over, what do you say it could be?" Qing Jin turned a page of the book and asked back casually.

The mandarin duck was instantly hit by the happiness that fell from the sky, "The slave knows that the master is the most powerful." Even if the main courtyard deliberately embarrasses us, the slaves and maids are not afraid of them. ”

Qing Jin was speechless, could this be the realistic version of the food in his hands. Don't you panic in your heart, but when you hear the second half of the mandarin duck's words, your eyes are full of deep thought, obscurity, and then empty.

In the court, according to the practice of previous years, with the approaching New Year's Festival, the court should be lively and busy. Now because the crown prince is banned, the emperor is not worried, and he seems to be busier than in previous years. The excitement is gone.

Especially in recent days, the mind of the Emperor God King has been even more unpredictable, obviously the last moment is still quiet, and the next moment there will be clouds without warning. made the courtiers tremble one by one. Be afraid, lest unconsciously, I don't know when I don't know when I accidentally touch the forbidden area that makes Emperor Ming unhappy, but the New Year is approaching, and the intelligence from all over the country must be reported to the emperor, and the courtiers just want to say less, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

this day. As usual, the ministers entered the palace and began the early dynasty, and the emperor sat on the golden throne. The face is majestic, not distinguishing between joy and anger, the ministers are straight but respectfully bowing their heads, according to the process of saluting the emperor After greeting the emperor, a courtier walked out of the ministers, took out the fold in his sleeve, held it flat in front, and began to report the content of the fold in frustration.

According to the usual practice, the first half of the excerpt is a praise of Emperor Ming, there should be no problem with this, thinking so in his heart, the courtier continued to prepare to read down, but he didn't expect the emperor on the top to suddenly speak.

“…… Is this what you have to report to me, full of praises, or am I so dumb and incompetent in your eyes, and I need your praise and these words of Ami to affirm what I have done? I send you a message every month, just to listen to your nonsense and don't know what to call Ami? Emperor Ming suddenly thundered and became angry.

"The minister's sin deserves ten thousand deaths, and the minister's sin deserves ten thousand deaths!" The courtiers were frightened by Emperor Ming's sudden anger and collapsed to the ground, and kept kowtowing to confess.

"Ten thousand deaths? I don't want you to die, and I won't let you die, come - take off his official hat and send him to work as a coolie in the place where he just made a compromise! Emperor Ming didn't wait for the ministers to react, so he dealt with it resolutely.

Due to Emperor Ming's sudden anger, in the main hall, everyone was silent for a while, and no courtiers dared to stand up, one by one unconsciously bent deep and lowered their heads.

From the end of this early dynasty, in the next period of time, the hearts of the ministers are more and more cautious, and the use of the study rooms of the various prefectures in the capital has also begun to rise, in view of the experience of the unlucky courtiers, the excerpts sent back from all over the country, the courtiers did not dare to present them as they were, but after rewriting the words and sentences in the study, they considered and considered, and considered and considered, and after being sure that there was no trace of inappropriateness, they continued to present or forward to the king.

Just when the ministers felt that everyone was in danger, they dug out their minds every day, worked hard, and even stayed up all night to come up with a performance that would satisfy the emperor, and they were afraid that they would not be able to satisfy the emperor, and the New Year was getting closer and closer.

However, the approach of the New Year did not make the emperor's mood better, the courtiers are becoming more and more miserable, every morning court, are frightened, lest there is no return, at this time, suddenly, the courtiers all received news from the palace: the prince Tong Guò henchman who was grounded by Emperor Ming handed Emperor Ming a paper of repentance written in blood.

The courtiers who had already guessed that the emperor's mood was connected with the grounded prince nine times out of ten, when they heard the news, they couldn't help but ponder and measure, and muttered in their hearts: The emperor's abnormal mentality these days, does he want to abolish the prince or do he want to think about giving the prince a chance again?

Although I know that there are probably these two kinds, but no courtier dares to stand up and persuade Emperor Ming to abolish the prince or give the prince a chance, I want to ask why? Nonsense, everyone is not a fool, Emperor Ming is now in the prime of life, the prince is either abolished or released, in the long run, the first to stand up, what he said is not the holy will, the end is needless to say, luckily got the holy will, it was a victory for a while, but the future is endless.

The hearts of the people are unpredictable, and the thoughts of the superior are even more unpredictable, if the holy will is to abolish the prince at this time, and it is abolished at this time, maybe the emperor will think of the prince in the future, then the courtiers who stand up today to advise the abolition of the prince will not be hated to death by the emperor; On the contrary, if the Holy Will wants to release the prince at this time, the time is long, the father is weak and the son is strong - maybe it won't be so long, after this matter is over, once the prince makes any mistakes and angers the emperor, then the courtiers who stand up at this time will definitely be judged to be princelings, and it is estimated that they will inevitably end up in a bleak end.

The hearts of the ministers are like mirrors, and it is not good to make any choices, so when they went to the court, the ministers silently avoided this topic in unison, and only focused on reporting the situation in various places.

It was in such an atmosphere that a few days passed.

This night, in the Jinghe Temple

Emperor Ming frowned on the table and wrote down the folds seriously, and Gonggong Zhang hurriedly walked in from the outside and called to the serious Emperor Ming: "Emperor? ”

"What's going on?" Emperor Ming's majestic gaze looked over, with obvious impatience in his eyebrows.

"-Yes--it's the prince, the prince is sick!" Swept by the emperor's coercive gaze, Gonggong Zhang bent down respectfully.

"What?" Hearing Gonggong Zhang's words, Emperor Ming stood up suddenly, crossed the desk, and came to Gonggong Zhang.

Father-in-law Zhang's respectful eyes flashed with a faint understanding, and his waist bent lower: "Just now, the people from the East Palace came to report, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fainted somehow." ”

"Has Imperial Doctor Xuan seen it?" Emperor Ming regained his previous demeanor, sat back at the desk, and asked lightly.

"After seeing it, the imperial doctor reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was infected with a cold for a while - and it was caused by excessive thinking."

"Got it!" Emperor Ming's voice was concise and unsentimental, reaching the ears of Gonggong Zhang.

After waiting for a long time without hearing the voice of Emperor Ming, Gonggong Zhang silently retreated.

In the Jinghe Palace, Emperor Ming took out a piece of paper with obvious red letters from under the desk after Gonggong Zhang withdrew for a quarter of an hour, and after looking at the paper for a long time, Emperor Ming finally sighed.

"Tomorrow, call the princes to come to the morning court!" Putting the paper away again, Emperor Ming looked at Gonggong Zhang behind the curtain of the outer door and ordered.

"The minion will call someone to inform the princes!"

The princes returned to the court one after another, and some smart courtiers finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, these days are really not people's days, and they quietly touched their waists and belly that had obviously lost weight several times.

Just when the courtiers felt that they were looking forward to a peaceful New Year, bad news suddenly came from the harem, and the prince was critically ill!

Everyone's hearts unconsciously raised again, if the prince is accidentally gone, this New Year will not be able to say, if the emperor is angry, it is estimated that the capital will be moved, and it will be a long river of blood, the Son of Heaven will be angry, and millions of corpses will be ambushed!

At this critical juncture, an old minister finally stood up first and asked Emperor Ming to lift the ban on the prince! Then King Jing Long Hanyuan also stood up to intercede for the prince and asked for the ban on the crown prince to be lifted, and the princes saw King Jing stand up first, and they were annoyed why they didn't take the first step, and they also stood up and petitioned the prince to be lifted.

Emperor Ming nodded slowly in the plea of the princes, and after the ban on the prince was lifted, Emperor Ming ordered the hospital to do its best to treat him!

Finally, after a day and a night of chaos, the prince's high fever was lowered.

In the early morning when the prince's high fever subsided, Emperor Ming came to the palace with Gonggong Zhang, the prince was already awake, and when he saw the oncoming Emperor Ming, tears appeared in his eyes, and he wanted to get up from the bed to salute Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming didn't know the face of joy and anger, but when he saw the prince who had just subsided his fever, languishing, and had lost a lot of weight, he couldn't help but have a complicated face, strode to the prince's bed, and said sternly: "If you are uncomfortable, lie down well, what are you tossing blindly?" "The complexion is rarely gentle.

"Father, the son knows it's wrong!" Facing Emperor Ming, who rarely showed a fatherly expression, the prince had indescribable regret on his face, thinking that he might be abolished by Emperor Ming and give up, the prince was a little afraid and discouraged.

Emperor Ming looked at the prince who was only wearing a middle coat and was obviously much thinner, and sighed in his heart, this child is among all his sons, who has spent a lot of effort to teach, and at this time, looking at his disillusioned appearance, Emperor Ming's heart is still a little touched.

"It's good to know that you're wrong, you are the prince, the prince of a country, you must understand what kind of words you should listen to, what kind of words you should not listen to, don't be instigated by others, you will have no idea, pro-virtuous ministers, far villains ......"
