Chapter 131: Grace
Such a thing naturally requires Cheng Rang to enter the palace immediately.
The matter of Xiaocha, Cheng Rang can only temporarily suppress it in his heart, as for why the emperor coughed up blood and fainted today, it remains to be investigated.
Because it was reported to Cheng Rang's house, Jiutang also delayed some time, and when Cheng Rang officially entered the palace, Ren Qixiu was already waiting for him in the palace.
In the current Thousand Sunshine City, there are only these two oldest princes.
And these two princes, but you have just died and lived in the early court today, and this evening, you have to appear in the imperial study together.
When Li Nian came out of the emperor's visit in the queen's clothes, the two still saluted her, Li Nian's expression didn't look as bad as he imagined, it seems that the emperor's condition may still be under control.
This kind of cognition naturally made Cheng Rang breathe a sigh of relief, on the way here, Cheng Rang had already heard what was going on, since Cao Yi was present at the time, he thought that he might have something to do with Cao Yi, and even more, maybe it was somewhat related to himself.
Cheng Rang can most of the time, even if he uses his toes at this moment, he can probably figure out what is going on.
It seems that the emperor's body is really not as good as before.
He and Ren Qixiu stood side by side, but no one spoke at the moment, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the gap between the two people, but they were afraid that it was really wide.
Fortunately, Li Nian's appearance alleviated the embarrassment in time.
"The emperor is just a momentary temperament, and the two princes can rest assured." Li Nian's words, not only Ren Qixiu and Cheng Rang, but almost everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, in the current situation in Nanzhou, if the emperor still died suddenly, I am afraid that it will be more chaotic.
"The emperor is still asleep."
Since Li Nian has added this time, presumably the two of them will not be able to see the emperor today.
simply saluted at the door, and the two chose to leave the palace.
But there is still only one way out of the palace.
I thought it would be an embarrassment for two people, but I happened to meet another person.
"Weichen Cao Yi, see Prince Ning, the eighth prince."
Cao Yi is Cao Yi again.
Ren Qixiu simply subconsciously chose not to look over his head at this moment, and didn't even give Cao Yi a look, Cheng Rang didn't seem to care about Cao Yi's official rank, and he was very happy to return the favor.
"When I heard that my father fainted, Lord Cao was also present."
Cheng Rang asked like this, and Cao Yi definitely had to answer.
However, it seems that Ren Qixiu is also interested in this question, so he stopped at this moment and waited for Cao Yi's answer without saying a word.
Cao Yi paused, and bowed his head towards Cheng Rang:
"Wechen just told the emperor about his analysis, but the emperor seemed to remember something, and suddenly some emotions came up, but fortunately, Wechen has been staying by the emperor's side, and it can be regarded as a thrill."
Looking at Cao Yi's appearance, it is estimated that the emperor let him out of the palace after waking up.
"Oh, that's fine." Cheng Rang's face showed a smile, completely ignoring Ren Qixiu beside him, and talking with Cao Yipan.
However, since Ren Qixiu heard what he wanted to hear, although it didn't make any sense, he didn't have to look at these two people at this moment and annoy himself a little.
Since he has torn his face, there are some things that Ren Qi Xiu doesn't bother to pretend. Looking at Ren Qixiu's figure of leaving without hesitation, Cao Yi and Cheng Rang had no need to continue pretending at this time.
"Master, how did this Prince Ning survive until now." Regarding Ren Qixiu's temper, even Cao Yi couldn't help but shake his head again and again.
Cheng Rang looked at Cao Yi's question, and almost didn't laugh out loud, it was really a little too poked to the point.
"Probably, it's here." Cheng Rang pointed to his brain at this moment.
Such a secret ridicule made Cao Yi smile too, it seems that this is true or not.
When Cheng Rang's heart didn't have anything in front of him to deal with, it was Cheng Rang who instantly remembered Xiaocha's matter.
Looking at Cheng Rang's face that changed in an instant, Cao Yi didn't know what was wrong.
However, Cao Yi is among Cheng Rang's subordinates, and he is afraid that he is the one who has the least contact with Xiaocha.
Cheng Rang didn't know how to explain to Cao Yi, the current predicament he encountered, Cao Yi thought that Cheng Rang was worried about Ren Qixiu's false accusation, and hurriedly explained to Cheng Rang why the emperor coughed up blood, and said that he had brought the emperor to the path they expected, and Cheng Rang didn't need to worry.
Cheng Rang smiled bitterly, what he was worried about was this matter.
But in the end, Cao Yi still didn't understand, and Cheng Rang could only pretend to be relieved and went out of the palace with Cao Yi.
Knowing that Cheng Rang would leave the palace soon, Pei Zhi was waiting for Cheng Rang at the gate of the palace early, although he came out with Cao Yi, but both of them saluted each other, looking quite polite and rusty.
It's no wonder that there is only one way out of the palace after all, and even the guards at the door only let them go as if the two of them happened to leave the palace at the same time, and saluted each of them.
Cheng Rang got into Pei Zhe's carriage.
"Go home." When the curtain was lowered, Cheng Rang's cold voice came from it, and his voice was so stable that it was even difficult for Pei Zhi to connect with the man who was still on the verge of collapse just now.
The ruts of the carriage slowly moved forward, but Cao Yi chose to walk, but his masked appearance was too scary, and he was wearing an official uniform, and the ordinary people walking on the street couldn't help but take a detour when they saw him.
He's a monster. Cao Yi smiled self-deprecatingly and turned back to his mansion.
In front of Prince Ning's mansion, Ren Qixiu let them leave the palace in one step early, and at this moment, it was just dark, and they returned to the mansion.
"What is this?" Ren Qixiu looked at the housekeeper's excited expression in some surprise, and he didn't know why.
"Returning to the prince, these are all rewards from the emperor who just came down!"
Just down... Reward... The housekeeper's words made Ren Qixiu a little stunned for a while.
The housekeeper naturally thought of this, and patiently explained to Ren Qixiu at this moment:
"Soon after you entered the palace, the emperor sent these rewards, although I didn't say why, but I looked at these things, but they were all of the highest quality."
The emperor has not rewarded a prince like this for a long time, even if it is the crown prince Ren Tingyou, such a reward is rare.
But today, why does the emperor reward him, isn't the emperor still coughing up blood, and is there any leisure like this?
Ren Qixiu thought about it, but he was afraid that the emperor would still have it.
When the emperor slowly recovered from coughing up blood, Cao Yi and the queen, who were guarding the bed, hurriedly greeted him.
The emperor doesn't look serious.
"I..." As soon as the emperor wanted to speak, he was held back by Li Nian:
"The emperor will take a little rest, and let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse first."
What Li Nian said, the emperor didn't mean to object, he seemed to want to turn over just now, but now he was panting again, lying flat again, stretching out a hand, and letting the imperial doctor take the pulse.
"The emperor coughed up that mouthful of blood right now, and it's no longer a big deal." The imperial doctor carefully examined it, said to the hospital bed, and then added:
"It's just that the emperor must not be less angry these days, and don't hurt his body again."
Although Li Nian didn't know what happened today, he also revealed his true colors as a good queen, and hurriedly comforted the emperor at this moment:
"The emperor still focuses on the dragon body."
"Ahem, okay." Seeing that the emperor responded, Li Nian was somewhat relieved.
But the emperor immediately spoke:
"Someone."
Although there was some confusion, Grandpa Hao still stood up in time.
"On my behalf, reward Prince Ning."
This is good, why should I reward Prince Ning again.
Li Nian was puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that this Prince Ning Ren Qi Xiu has been almost abandoned by the emperor, why has it been reactivated.
Li Nian didn't know why.
However, Cao Yi, who was kneeling on the side of the bed, showed a smile on his face that no one noticed.
Listening to what the emperor rewarded Ren Qixiu, even Gonggong Hao was a little surprised, this was not an understatement reward for Ren Qixiu.
"That's all, that's all." The emperor seems to be not even enough of these.
Could it be that the emperor is ready to reactivate Ren Qixiu?
Father-in-law Hao didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went down to start the matter.
Li Nian sat at the head of the bed at this time and said softly to the emperor:
"If the emperor has nothing else to do, the concubines will tell them to go down first."
"The emperor has a good rest first."
"Okay." After thinking about it so much, not to mention that his body was still a little weak, the emperor also nodded and said to Cao Yi:
"You go out of the palace, go out of the palace."
"Yes, Weichen retired." Cao Yi naturally didn't stay for half a minute and chose to leave, and the queen thoughtfully fed the emperor with medicine herself, and watched the emperor fall asleep before going out, but she saw Ren Qixiu and Cheng Rang.
On the way out of the palace, everything Cao Yi said was as we expected, and naturally referred to the emperor's trust in Ren Qixiu.
Cheng Rang was not surprised at all, but was delighted that the emperor had rewarded Ren Qixiu.
It is precisely because of this that the two of them had a bad taste and deliberately acted in a play for Ren Qixiu.
It is even more of a method of subduing and frustrating, when Ren Qixiu, who was disappointed in his heart, returned to the mansion and saw the emperor's reward at first glance, his heart must have been extremely excited.
At that time, it will be easier to make mistakes and consciously stand at the top of power, so Cheng Rang will say that Ren Qixiu will become a sharp blade in his hands against the crown prince Ren Tingyou.
Good hunters, sure enough, are disguised as bait.
Although Ren Qixiu was stunned for a moment, since it was the emperor's reward, he naturally accepted it happily.
But at this time, Ren Qixiu, who has been played repeatedly, also has an extra heart in his heart.
For the emperor, I was afraid that Ren Qixiu didn't trust him, so after thinking about it, he still summoned Shuyin to his side.
"What do you think, what do you mean by this move?"
Although it seems to be a good thing, Ren Qixiu is still on guard.
"Lord Wang, have you forgotten what we thought about before?"
Shuyin's words reminded Ren Qixiu that it was better to use Cheng Rang to bring down the prince.
There is another thing that also entered Ren Qixiu's mind:
"Isn't this Cao Yimo really a close confidant of his father?"
Ren Qixiu suddenly became a little afraid, he didn't have a good face for Cao Yi in the palace just now.
Shuyin looked at Ren Qixiu's appearance, and probably guessed it.
"The emperor is the emperor today, and this Cao Yi may not be the emperor's cronies in the future."
The matter has come to this point, but I am afraid that on Cao Yi's side, Ren Qixiu will not be able to ask for anything.
It's better to let go of Cao Yi neatly and start over.
This may be a choice, but it is also a choice that has to be chosen.
"For now, that's all we can do." Ren Qixiu's face became solemn, and he said to the cardinal.
"What the prince is thinking about at the moment is how to make good use of the emperor's sudden favor." The cardinal reminded.
"Yes, such a good opportunity, this king must hold it." Ren Qixiu seemed to suddenly feel a burst of raised eyebrows, and the whole person wrinkled his brows, and said loudly.
