At this moment, the two of them were playing chess in the emperor's bedroom, and the emperor said: "You finally agreed to stay in the palace to accompany me for the New Year?" ”

Xue Bolian didn't directly answer the emperor's question, he just said: "The emperor suddenly let the ministers enter the palace to celebrate the New Year with the emperor, presumably the emperor must have your own intentions," Xue Bolian paused and said: "Actually, although the first emperor and the queen mother are no longer in the palace, there is still a concubine, as if the relationship between the emperor and the concubine is extremely harmonious." ”

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but smile, "Although I said that no matter how good I treated her, it was not as good as my own life, in fact, I grounded the fourth prince in the palace, but also for the sake of the face of the concubine, this concubine's body is not as good as day by day, when I went to see her a few days ago, she could only lie on the couch and not get up at all, I once mentioned to her that it was not as good as me to celebrate the New Year together, but she refused, she was old, and I didn't ask her much for anything, so I had to give up."

In fact, the concubine is still worried about the affairs of the four princes, some things, although she has guessed, but there is no evidence, the four princes look like filial sons on the surface, but in fact, they don't know what this person is doing behind his back, hiding from everyone, including the concubine. ”

The emperor left a son and continued: "This concubine is looking down on everything, but King Jing doesn't think so, what the concubine hates the most is this kind of liveliness, and someone has recruited so many new guards, even if he thinks with his toes, he can know what he is thinking, and now, this concubine is afraid that she will not spend this year with me, because she has her own precious son by her side, so I will do as she wishes, as long as King Jing does not make trouble, everything in the palace is fine." ”

Xue Bolian also left a son, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has conceded!" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Hahahahaha...... It seems that I still can't get down to you! ”

"Where, in fact, I haven't played chess with the emperor for too long recently, and the minister's chess skills have regressed a lot, but the emperor's chess skills have improved a lot."

"Hey, if you can still say bad chess skills, then I'm afraid that no one in the world dares to call their chess skills good."

Xue Bolian couldn't help but smile.

Because the fourth prince only had one eyeliner by his side, even if he knew the news that the eyeliner conveyed to him, he was helpless, and the eyeliner immediately came to report, "Lord, the prime minister has already entered the palace." ”

"What? Why did you enter the palace? ”

"It was said that he was celebrating the New Year with the emperor."

"Celebrate the New Year together? This Xue Bolian is neither a royal relative nor a national relative, and the emperor actually let him enter the palace to celebrate the New Year with him? This...... Why didn't you say this earlier? ”

"When I got the news, the minions had already been sent to the frontier by the emperor, but this frontier should have been sent by the emperor to the fourth prince, and it took a lot of trouble for the minions to be transferred back by the emperor." Eyeliner.

The fourth prince is getting more and more wrong, "If you want to come back, unless you are someone close to the emperor, so ......"

The guard said: "The slave has to agree to come down first, and work for the emperor first, if you can't find such an excuse, the slave can't pass the message to the prince." ”

The fourth prince finally understood, and narrowed his eyes dangerously, "It's really a cunning fox!" ”

"Lord Wang, it seems ......"

The guards immediately leaned into the ears of the fourth prince and said his plan, the fourth prince only thought that this idea was very good, but the risk was high, "No, this Xue Bolian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if it is discovered by him, won't everything be exposed?" ”

"It's extremely easy to do, just go to the imperial dining room and secretly drug the two of them."

The fourth prince also plans to use this method, and now the second prince is still on the run, it is estimated that this year has not been good, and now everything in the future can only rely on himself, but he doesn't know what is happening to the three princes now.

Just when this eyeliner had already sneaked into the imperial dining room, the emperor was still playing chess with Xue Bolian, and the emperor was thinking sadly, "In fact, there are always one or two fresh faces passing by in the palace recently, if as a monarch doesn't know who his subordinates are, then this matter is an extremely dangerous thing." ”

"What the emperor means is, is there any second prince's eyeliner by the emperor's side?"

"Exactly."

"So, in order to prevent it from happening, you have to test whether the meal is medicated before eating, but nothing has happened in recent times."

Xue Bolian only sighed and said, "It seems that this matter has to be cautious and cautious." ”

The so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches, as soon as this eyeliner arrives in the imperial dining room, someone immediately finds his movements suspicious, and immediately tells the emperor about the changes here, however, this matter is almost said in a voice that only the two of them can hear, "Someone is drugged in the meals in the imperial dining room, but the slave is afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he has not stopped it, and this person's skills are definitely not idle." ”

After the emperor heard this, his eyes narrowed dangerously, it seemed that what he had been worried about had happened in the end, Xue Bolian looked at the emperor's expression and felt that something was not right, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

"What I was worried about has happened, these four princes are ready to start today, it seems that every move between the two of us, he already knows everything, but I don't know anything."

Since the fourth prince can be drugged, then his emperor will naturally not be stupid to such a point, so he asked the people in the imperial dining room to redo the same, so that the plan of the four princes has also failed, but the eyeliner who has not yet known does not know this, and he also came to report that he has done what the fourth prince ordered, and the fourth prince was so happy after hearing it, "Hahahahaha...... After today, from tomorrow onwards, this king will be the emperor of the entire Great Chu! ”

After hearing this, the guards immediately broke into a cold sweat, shouldn't this throne originally be given to the third prince? When did it become that he was the emperor? But he didn't dare to say these things, and besides, the current second prince didn't know where he went, if he wanted to catch up, it would be too late, he didn't know a lot of news, why did he always feel that he was about to end? Just thinking about this made his heart burn, and he was still thinking about whether to leave a way back for himself.
