Marigold glass, fireflies......

The moon shadow is projected on the bluestone steps, reflecting the dim shadow of the red palace gate.

Several rows of palace people lined up outside the palace gate, and on both sides of the door stood a line of guards with long knives around their waists.

Ji Yunxiao stood outside and looked at the closed door.

The dim light reflected on the window, and several figures hit the window, in a hurry, and with some violet vino!

She withdrew her gaze and continued to take a few steps forward, but finally couldn't help but stop.

There was a hint of hesitation on his face, as if he wanted to turn around, but he was worried and afraid to turn around.

Just when she was decided, a father-in-law wearing a vermilion black palace uniform walked out.

"National Teacher?!" He seemed a little surprised, and whispered in disbelief.

Ji Yunxiao stood there and smiled, "Your Majesty...... How's the body doing? ”

Father-in-law Changle is the director of the palace and the emperor's most trusted person, and he has been serving the emperor since the emperor was alive.

In the end, after the death of the first emperor, he became the attendant of Emperor Yun, and he also became the chief eunuch!

To be able to rise to a high position overnight, in addition to the real material, you must also have a certain observation eye.

This is why, during Emperor Yun's critical illness, when everyone was gone, he could still serve him safely.

"The national teacher has already heard about it." Father-in-law Changle sighed, moved the dust in his hand, and said while pondering, "The emperor's body is getting worse day by day, and the medicine jar has not been broken in the past month, but the condition has become more and more serious, I'm afraid ...... Ay! ”

He didn't say it too bluntly, but with his long sigh later, Ji Yunxiao could also hear some meaning.

Her face gradually sank, and just as she was thinking deeply, Father-in-law Changle seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said, "National Teacher, the emperor has previously ordered that as long as you wait for the National Teacher to come back, go to meet you immediately!" ”

Ji Yun smiled and was stunned, "The emperor has given an order?!" ”

"Well, the emperor ordered this before he was critically ill,......" Changle's father-in-law recalled, remembering the emperor's good body before, and his face became even more melancholy.

Ji Yunxiao was helpless, so he could only follow Changle's father-in-law into the hall first.

The moment the door opened, a choking smell of Chinese medicine rushed to the mouth and nose.

Ji Yunxiao frowned, and reflexively raised his sleeve to cover his nose.

Father-in-law Changle waved his hand to those people, and said to the palace people who were waiting by the bedside and the father-in-law who were busy at the table, "You all go down first." ”

After those people went down, Father-in-law Changle led Ji Yunxiao to the side of the bed, approached the dragon bed and rolled up the curtain for half a curtain, revealing Zhu Luoqi inside.

In this room, the windows around it were tightly sealed, and the emperor was sick on the bed again.

It stands to reason that the dragon bed should be full of flavors and miscellaneous, which is unbearable.

However, when the curtain was lifted, the strange smell of imagination did not come out, but another faint fragrance.

That taste, in addition to the taste of Chinese medicine for each meal, has another strange aroma.

"Your Majesty, the national teacher is back." Changle's father-in-law approached, and the dying man on the opposite side asked.

The person inside responded slightly, and a hand reached out and beckoned in mid-air, as if to signal her to enter the bead curtain.

Ji Yun smiled and looked at Changle's father-in-law and glanced at each other, remembering the trace of doubt just now, she couldn't help frowning.

Slowly walked into the bead curtain, and when she approached the dragon couch and looked at it, the whole person was completely shocked in place!

The thin eyes on the dragon couch were sunken, leaving only the skinny old man, Ji Yunxiao was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

After coming back to his senses, he made a salute, "Minister, Ji Yunxiao, meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

The blood on Emperor Yun's face had long since disappeared, and a trace of expression flashed on his face that had been wrinkled due to the lack of water for months.

Ji Yunxiao raised her head slightly, she happened to see the expression on Emperor Yun's face.

That seems to be ...... Glimmer...... Gratified?

Gratified?!

Ji Yunxiao didn't know why Emperor Yun's face suddenly flashed with such an expression.

Emperor Yun waved his hand, his chapped lips flickered a few times, but fortunately, Ji Yunxiao's internal strength was strong, and his ear power was extraordinary.

That's why I heard his faint voice, which was as weak as a current.

He was saying, "Aiqing, please get up." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Ji Yunxiao stood up, and after Emperor Yun waved to her side, she turned around and walked over.

"Lonely illness has been accumulating for a long time, and now my life is short, if it weren't for the hard work of my ancestors, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." As Emperor Yun spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but crack a wry smile, as if he was laughing at himself.

Ji Yun laughed, but he couldn't laugh.

On the contrary, there was a lot more worry on his face, "Don't say these frustrating words, the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and with the blessing of the ancestors of Cangyun Country, he will definitely live a long life." ”

Emperor Yun shook his head and smiled palely, "When will Aiqing say these slanderous words to please the Lone King......

"What the minister said is true, although the emperor is recuperating with peace of mind now, in a few days, he will definitely get rid of the disease and show his power again!"

"The body of the lonely king, the lonely king himself knows ......" He didn't continue to entangle this topic with Ji Yunxiao, and said in an instant, "However, the lonely king still has a wish for." ”

"What else is there for the emperor not to worry about?" Ji Yunxiao suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.

He was close to the south and north station, and ruled the king of a country in the world...... Now, he is as weak as a straw, and he seems to have come to the end of his life all of a sudden......

Ji Yunxiao's expression was in a trance, and his gaze stayed on Emperor Yun's face, but the empty eyes seemed to be his thoughts drifting far away through Emperor Yun.

"The most worrying thing in King Lone's life, in addition to the future national fortunes of Cangyun Kingdom, the other one is the candidate for the future prince of the country."

"What does the emperor mean? ......" Ji Yunxiao had probably guessed what Emperor Yun was worried about just now, but she didn't know what Emperor Yun was thinking.

"As the first national teacher of Cangyun Country, it has been more than ten years since you were brought into the palace by Qingluo National Teacher, and King Gu knows that you are in the palace and do your duty of loyalty to Cangyun Kingdom." Emperor Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued, "The Lone King believes in you, so I also hope that you can remember every word that the Lone King said next. ”

The atmosphere was a little tense and a little suffocating, Ji Yunxiao's expression moved, and he also knew that Emperor Yun's next words might be related to the future of the entire Cangyun Kingdom, so he held his breath even more, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all.

"Nanjin was named the crown prince at a young age, but his personality is too gentle, and gentleness is naturally necessary for the prince of a country, but ......

Gentleness sometimes makes him humiliated, even if he rules the world in the future, he will not be able to shock the officials of the court, which has always been the heart disease of the lonely king. What does Aiqing think? ”

"His Royal Highness is kind from the bottom of his heart, and his nature is sensitive, but he can still maintain this kind of temperament in the palace, which is commendable." Ji Yunxiao didn't know what Emperor Yun was thinking at this time, so he could only look at the form, follow his words, and said cautiously.

After Emperor Yun heard this, he frowned, "King Gu trusts Aiqing, so he entrusts all these things to Aiqing, just to let Aiqing express his heartfelt thoughts...... The lonely king is now a person who has stepped into the coffin with both feet, why should Aiqing be hypocritical and deliberately say something nice to please the lonely king's heart. ”

Ji Yun pursed his lips with a smile, seeing that although Emperor Yun's two eye sockets had been deeply sunken, the essence of the eyes was exceptionally fresh and recognizable!

Knowing that he was really angry, he began to gradually ease up, and continued: "The emperor is right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed gentle and kind, but it is precisely because of such a monarch in the world that this country will be more stable and prosperous.

Whether it is to fight the world or defend the country, it is indeed necessary to support it by force, so that the four princes will fight outside all the year round, but since ancient times, there has been no shortage of capable people inside and outside the court! As long as the high-ranking person commands properly, the wise man conspires, and the brave fight, the country can be stabilized!

Therefore, in the humble opinion of the ministers, the people who rule the world need most are not courage and strategy, but to have a kind heart and treat everyone with kindness.

In the court, he is good at commanding warriors and strategists, and outside the court, he can also be loved by the people!

Therefore, Weichen feels that this is the quality that the future prince needs and has the most! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't get a response from Emperor Yun for a long time, and Ji Yunxiao was a little bottomless in her heart.

Thinking about what she said just now, she seems to have said too much, and what the incumbent is most afraid of is that others interfere in government affairs and interfere in their own family's country!

Ji Yun thought with a smile, and was about to say a few words to dispel the worries in Emperor Yun's heart.

It's just that just when she wanted to speak, Emperor Yun suddenly smiled, "What Aiqing said is right, so what about the four princes according to Aiqing's opinion?" ”

"The Four Princes?" When Ji Yunxiao first heard this name, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, as if she was a little unfamiliar with these people, and after a while, she came back to her senses and said slowly, "The fourth prince has been marching and fighting outside all the year round, and his wisdom and vision are much higher than those of ordinary princes, but ......"

"If Aiqing has any doubts, you might as well say it directly." Emperor Yun listened happily, and when she turned around in the middle of her words, he not only did not disappoint the fun, but encouraged her later words with more interest.

Ji Yun paused with a smile, secretly observed the change in Emperor Yun's expression, and saw that his face was not a little gloomy, and then he had the courage to continue to say: "However, as far as Wei Chen knows, the fourth prince seems to be the prince born to the emperor who got drunk on the queen's sacrifice day and pampered the palace maid who lit the lamp in the palace.

The crown prince, in addition to having strong requirements for the elected themselves.
