This eventful autumn of the thirteenth year of Shunjing was accompanied by the unprecedented turmoil of the former harem and waved goodbye to the people. The approach of severe cold seems to indicate an even more difficult situation. The queen is still strutting on the road of controlling the government; The king of Jin struggled to fight against dissidents.

After the winter, the emperor's illness seemed to be incurable, and the hospital became the busiest department in the entire palace. The envoy of the royal court was in the Zhaoyang Hall for several days and nights.

Looking at this situation, Duan Yingjin had to think in a worse direction. However, this kind of "badness" is also a rare opportunity for him.

The first snow fell on the land of China, but the misty white was not enough to cover the dark earth, nor could it hide the ambitions of some people.

The king of Jin held a secret edict and braved the wind and snow to enter the palace overnight. Walking to the door of Zhaoyang Palace, faintly saw a white and ink figure in the courtyard, it turned out that the emperor not only summoned him, but also summoned the king of Thailand and the prince who had thought about it.

"The younger brother has seen the two elder brothers." Duan Yingjin took the initiative to say hello.

The prince did not answer, but nodded politely at him.

The King of Thailand replied with a salute and said, "Wait for the fifth brother, he will be there soon." ”

Dare to love even Duan Yingyu was ordered to come to see him! It seems that the emperor is really going to explain some "extremely important" things. Duan Yingjin was faintly nervous, but also very excited; But after glancing at the prince who was standing solemnly, he felt an indescribable sense of loss.

After a while, the figure of the young man in brocade came from far and near. Duan Yingyu ran all the way, snowflakes falling all over his shoulders, and ice crystals staring on his brows. Although the king is young, he exudes an extraordinary heroic spirit beyond his age, and he is transforming from a boy into a man in his own right.

"I'm sorry, brothers, my brother is late." The road was slippery in the snow, and he accidentally fell when he came. I was late because my feet hurt and I walked slower.

"Probably not. Let's go in quickly, don't let my father wait. The crown prince spoke, no one objected, and the four brothers walked into the emperor's bedroom together.

"The son knocks on his father." The four of them knelt in a row in front of the emperor's bed.

The thick bed tent was airtight, Duan Yulin was hidden behind it, and the princes couldn't even see his face clearly.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The emperor coughed before he could say anything. A series of coughing sounds were slightly harsh in the quiet dormitory.

"Father, are you alright? Say whatever you want to say, slowly. "The crown prince is genuinely concerned about the well-being of the emperor.

"Medicine...... Let's take my medicine first...... Ahem! Duan Yulin's coughing sound was endless, and several princes looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that the emperor's illness has reached such a point? Don't even have the strength to talk to them without medication?

King Jin, who was the first to react, hurriedly reprimanded the inner supervisor at the door and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you go and serve medicine to the emperor! Turning his head, he flattered his emperor again: "Father, don't worry, the medicine will come soon." Why don't you let your son push your back and smooth your breath for you? ”

Duan Yingjin wanted to open the tent to find out, but before her hand touched the edge of the bed, she was stopped by Fang Da sharply: "Lord Wang!" Your Majesty's illness is not windy, and you can't lift the tent! ”

"Yes, I can't stand the wind. If you have anything to say, just say it through the bed tent, cough cough ......" After the words, there was an "earth-shattering" cough. Finally, a blood-stained towel was handed out through the gap at the bottom of the bed tent.

The four princes all noticed the dazzling red!

"Father......" The crown prince stared at the veil that was quickly taken over by Fang Da, and couldn't help but redden. He has only been grounded for a few months, how can the emperor's body decay into this appearance?

Regarding the emperor's coughing up blood, King Jin was both concerned and secretly happy. The illness is too severe to return...... It's not long in life!

If the prince's innocence is not clarified for a day, the emperor will not rashly pass on his position, and the chances of the king of Jin winning the throne will be greater.

During the prince's lockdown, the queen and the king of Jin secretly cut off many of the prince's henchmen, and at the same time, the king of Jin quickly cultivated a group of new forces of his own; The King of Thailand is "idle" all day long and does not ask about political affairs, and he will not become a general trend; Although King Xian has the secret support of the Feng family, he is still a milky kid...... In this comparison, King Jin's advantages and chances of winning are still very large.

The more Duan Yingjin thought about it, the more proud he became, if it wasn't for the occasion, he probably couldn't help but laugh out loud. He had a hunch that he was getting closer and closer to that supreme position!

At present, the biggest obstacle to the king of Jin is undoubtedly the crown prince, although he has been repeatedly grounded, but the emperor has never ruthlessly deposed the prince. It seems that he has to find a way to "compact" the crown prince a little more, at least when the emperor is still conscious, he can't let him turn over!

Just when a few people were thinking tactfully, the medicine for the emperor was ready. Fonda carefully opened the bed tent and sent the medicine bowl inside.

"Father-in-law Fang, my father is so weak, don't you serve the medicine yourself?" Duan Yingyu questioned, the master is sick, and the slave should be fed medicine.

"His Royal Highness the King of Huixian, the old slave thinks about it! But Your Majesty, he won't let the old slave in! Anyway, as soon as the old slave enters and exits, it is inevitable that a little cool breeze will leak in. The royal envoy made a bamboo straw for the emperor, so that it was also convenient for the emperor to take medicine. Fonda explained.

didn't let Fang Da get close, and even drank medicine to the field that needed straw assistance, which shows that the emperor's illness is really serious! Duan Yingjin reaffirmed her judgment.

After the emperor drank the medicine, his breathing was slightly smoother, and his cough was not so bad. I can finally speak to the princes clearly, but I still feel like a gossamer.

"I'm afraid my body won't get better......" Before Duan Yulin could say the second half of the sentence, several princes scrambled to interrupt him.

"Father must not give up on himself, you are the true son of the dragon, and you will turn evil into good fortune when you encounter trouble. I believe that it won't be long before my father will be healthy again! The prince's words sounded like a slightly flattering comfort, but they were actually sincere.

And King Jin was obviously insincere in his heart, but he had to pretend to be sad on his face: "What did my father say? You're going to live a long life! ”

"The eldest brother and the third brother are right! Father, you are too pessimistic. I am famous doctors everywhere, and tomorrow Erchen will offer a heavy reward to recruit doctors from all over the world. "If the imperial doctor in the palace can't be cured, please invite a master in the rivers and lakes, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to continue the emperor's life.

"Father, my sons are also willing to do their best!" Duan Yingyu is not far behind, and his filial piety to the emperor has never been adulterated! Although he is young, he also wants to do what he can to share the emperor's worries.

"Well, you don't have to say anything nice to comfort me. I know it in my own body. The silhouette in the bed tent swayed, and Duan Yulin was shaking his hand impatiently: "I didn't call you here today to talk about this......" Duan Yulin paused: "During the time when I was sick, the Queen of Hard Work took my place to listen to the government. But this is not a long-term solution. ”

The Emperor's words were only half spoken, followed by a long silence.

Duan Yingjin looked at the silent twins on the left, and then at the younger brother on the right who was unresponsive, so she took the lead in breaking the silence: "What the father said is true!" The harem is not in line with etiquette, and the queen's curtain is just an expedient measure, and it should have been returned to the monarch a long time ago! ”

"What a 'return to the king'! It's a pity that Yizhen's current situation cannot be restored immediately. You say...... What should I do? cough cough ......" at the end of the deliberately heavy cough twice to show that the health is really not good.

"What's so hard about that? The father only needs to lift the ban of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and appoint the Crown Prince to supervise the country. Isn't it all solved? The King of Thailand stood up to speak for his brother.

Duan Yulin did not immediately respond to the King of Thailand, but instead asked the King of Jin: "What about you, King Jin?" What do you mean? ”

Returning to his father's words, Erchen felt that the second emperor brother had a certain amount of truth, but ......" a twist attracted the attention of everyone present: "Should we take care of the face of the queen mother and her old man?" After all, the queen mother offended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the elder of his sons and fathers. As a junior, Erchen felt that the Empress Dowager needed to be consulted on this matter. Duan Yingjin replied without leaking, and everyone was speechless.

Duan Yulin couldn't help but show a sneering expression on his face, but fortunately, there was a thick curtain blocking it, and the people outside couldn't see it really. What do you mean by asking for Jiang Fang? Who doesn't know that Jiang Fang and the queen and the Feng family are of the same heart? She wished that the prince would never come back! Isn't asking her a question in vain?

The emperor concealed his emotions and continued to ask the young king: "Yingyu, what do you think?" ”

Since Duan Yingyu was sensible, he knew the secret wrestling between the Feng clan and the royal family. His identity is awkward, and he really doesn't know how to stand in line. Fortunately, he is not good at power, and his mother does not force him to compete for anything, so he can live calmly. But there is at least one thing that Duan Yingyu has never forgotten - his surname is "Duan", and the rivers and mountains of the Great Han Dynasty can only be surnamed "Duan".

Yingyu shook his head and said frankly: "Erchen doesn't have any ideas. As long as it is the decision of the father, the son obeys it. The country is the father's country, and the father wants to entrust it; Right and wrong are all up to the father! ”

King Xian's words were said to be in Duan Yulin's heart, and he couldn't help but look at this son who had just grown up.

"Well said!" Regardless of whether this kid is insincere or not, knowing how to make him happy is also a skill. How different this is from the Feng family! worthy of his son.

"Father, what is your decision?" Duan Yingjin couldn't wait to see the queen fall from the temple.

"I have said a lot today, and I am tired now, so kneel down." The figure in the bed tent turned over, and it was vaguely recognizable that the emperor had left his back to the princes.

But the father ...... "That's it?" Summoning them into the palace at night, just to ask these few innocuous nonsense? Duan Yingjin was unwilling.

"I said, kneel down!" The thick displeasure in his tone was immediately conveyed to every prince.

"Yes." Duan Yingjin didn't dare to speak anymore even if she wanted to ask, so she could only retreat in a gloomy manner.

Duan Yingjin had a gloomy face and walked out of the emperor's bedroom. When the four brothers walked to the long street, they were about to part ways - the prince returned to the Lintoe Palace; King Xian returned to Ganquan Palace; And the king of Thailand and the king of Jin are going out of the palace and returning home.

Duan Yingyu was the first to say goodbye to the three brothers, and the remaining three continued to move forward. When the King of Thailand saw King Jin's stinky face, he couldn't help but quip: "Why did the third brother bother to provoke his father's displeasure?" I didn't have to touch a nose of ash! ”

"Hmph, my brother would rather run into a wall than see the harem trouble! Second brother, you are 'Xianyun Wild Crane', so naturally you don't care about these! There was sarcasm in and out of the words to the King of Thailand.

Duan Yingbi was not annoyed, and whistled, but he didn't hear it. Duan Yingjin was laughed at by his hanging: "Heh, the second brother is really a blessing!" Don't worry about anything. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different......"

"Why did you talk to Lone again?" In front of him was the fork in the road leading to the Lintoe Palace, and he was about to say goodbye, but stopped because of the topic of King Jin.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince, but he has been repeatedly grounded and cannot get out; Above the government, it is even more invincible to the female stream! Do you deserve to be a prince? Duan Yingjin hooked the corners of her mouth disdainfully: "Although my father summoned the crown prince tonight, he still didn't say anything about lifting the prince's grounding, let alone reinstating his powers." With all due respect, if this continues, I am afraid that your position as the prince will not be stable! ”

Duan Yingjin's cynicism is not lacking in sowing discord. He intended to sow discord between the crown prince and the emperor, with the empress, and even with the emperor. It doesn't matter who the prince is against him, the more energy he expends, the better it will be for him.

"Third brother be cautious!" The prince left a word of advice and walked away.
