Imperial City, in the palace.

The Queen Mother walked around irritably, and several imperial doctors knelt there and didn't dare to raise their heads.

"How?" After a long time, two more imperial doctors came out of the dormitory with the palace maid.

"Back to the Queen Mother...... "The Imperial Doctor trembled and shivered, and his head was in a cold sweat, "The emperor is weak and needs to recuperate......"

"This palace is asking about the emperor's illness, how to cure it!" The Queen Mother was not angry, "You keep saying that the emperor is weak and needs to be recuperated, don't you see that the emperor is sick!" ”

Since the emperor fainted that morning, all the people in the hospital have come to see him.

However, they couldn't diagnose any illness in the emperor, and the emperor was weakened day by day, and these people were at a loss.

You must know that the sick person is the emperor, if they prescribe the wrong medicine and eat the human life, then they will not be enough to pay for a few heads.

It is better to stand up, at most, they lose their heads, and they will not affect their families.

How could the Queen Mother not see their plans.

In the past few days, she has killed four imperial doctors.

But this is not a long-term solution, if these people in the hospital are killed, she will really be helpless.

"The Queen Mother ......," a imperial doctor said boldly, "The emperor is sick, and he can't find out the origin of the illness at all, so it's better to ask the soul master to take a look." ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly.

In fact, she had already invited the soul master to show the emperor, but even they couldn't see why.

"Queen Mother, why don't you invite the Soul Master of Ziyao Pavilion to come...... Maybe you can see the emperor's symptoms. A physician suggested.

The Queen Mother frowned.

The Soul Master of the Purple Obsidian Pavilion does not belong to the Feng Kingdom, and there are strongholds established by the Purple Obsidian Pavilion in all countries, but in terms of ability, as long as they can be invited, there is almost nothing that cannot be achieved.

"I heard that the Soul Master of Ziyao Pavilion is extremely difficult to invite, and last time the imperial city was covered by ghost qi, they never came." The Queen Mother looked in the direction of the bedroom and said worriedly.

"No matter what, you have to give it a try, before that, has the Queen Mother considered asking the violinist of the Gu clan to try it?"

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and suddenly waved her hand.

"Go down first."

As if they had been granted amnesty, all the imperial physicians retired.

After everyone had withdrawn, the Queen Mother summoned her henchmen, "How is the situation of the Gu clan now?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Master Gu, who was in charge of Si Le Prison, was arrested and taken to the Criminal Department, and now his life and death are unknown."

The Queen Mother was shocked, "When did this happen?" ”

"Last night."

The Queen Mother walked back and forth in the hall irritably.

"Why were you caught?"

"Say yes...... Master Gu tried to fight privately in Si Lejian, and he had been locked up by order of Princess Yongqing. ”

The Queen Mother stood up angrily, "It's Princess Yongqing again!" It's her again! ”

The henchman stood there quietly, letting the Queen Mother vent her dissatisfaction.

"You go, a few adults from the Punishment Department are here, and ask them to enter the palace overnight." The Queen Mother ordered.

The henchman answered and quietly walked out of the temple gate.

After no one in the hall, the Queen Mother fell to the chair with a depressed body.

Her only bargaining chip now is her son, the current little emperor.

As long as he can get better, no matter how Princess Yongqing tosses her, she is not afraid.

I'm afraid that the emperor won't get better, and Princess Yongqing will eat away at the power of the court step by step.

Two maids exited the dormitory, carrying trays of food in their hands.

The queen mother glanced at the tray and was immediately furious, she asked the two palace maids: "The emperor didn't eat again?" ”

The palace maid knelt down in fright, "Yes......"

The Queen Mother's chest rose and fell violently, and she turned back into the bedroom.

The little emperor was lying on the wide dragon bed, the soft quilt covered him completely, and Leng Buding looked like he thought the bed was empty.

"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother softened her tone and came to the side of the dragon's bed, "If the emperor wants to eat at night, the palace will let the imperial dining room do it." ”

Feng Mingxiang was lying there with a white face, his expression was wooden, and he slowly shook his head.

"How can you do it without eating?" The Queen Mother squeezed out a smile with difficulty, "Eat more to get better." ”

Feng Mingxiang still shook his head, and finally closed his eyes.

The queen mother's face changed several times, and she wanted to have a seizure several times, but in the end she could only endure it, and after walking out of the dormitory, she ordered someone to drag out all the palace maids who had just come in to serve with a cane.

"You're all out, I'm tired, I want to sleep." Feng Mingxiang closed his eyes and said weakly.

The palace maids did not dare to disobey the order, and bowed their heads and retreated.

When there was no one in the bedroom, Feng Mingxiang sat up and carefully took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from under the pillow.

When I opened it, there were two hard pieces of dim sum inside.

Feng Mingxiang picked up the snack and gnawed it slowly.

This was quietly brought by the little princess Feng Jundai when she came to visit him last time.

Now the things in the palace, he doesn't dare to touch them at all, and he doesn't dare to believe anyone.

That morning, when he was changing his dragon robe, he accidentally found that someone had a spell painted on the robe, and he didn't say a word, and even the eunuchs around him didn't dare to tell him, so he pretended to faint directly in the court.

His strength is too weak, and there are too few people to trust.

He doesn't know who else can be trusted around him, although the two princes can be trusted, but they don't have "power" in their hands, and they can't help him at all with the identity of a royal bloodline.

On one side is his mother, and on the other side is his aunt, and both want to control power through him.

He didn't dare to trust either side.

Now he could only wait for Feng Lei Zhi to bring his secret decree to the King of Youyou.

Wei Jiuxiao...... and Yu Miaomiao......

For some reason, he would always inadvertently recall the days when he lived in the Imperial Palace.

It was the most pleasant time he had ever lived.

Only there can he become himself again, truly like a child, living freely.

The Queen Mother is still waiting for the news from her henchmen to bring back.

However, until dawn, her henchmen did not return.

All she was waiting for was a bloody head from one of the palace guards.

Her henchmen have been killed by Princess Yongqing's people.

The Queen Mother was angry and angry, but she was helpless.

"Queen Mother, it seems that Princess Yongqing is not going to release Lord Gu, I'm afraid she is also worried that the sound of the Gu clan will dispel the ominous surroundings around the emperor......" Another henchman said, "The Gu clan has been held hostage by Princess Yongqing, you might as well invite someone from the Su clan to try it." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned.

"The Su clan is not good at driving out ghosts."

"But their clan uses special spices and ink to blend them, and they can seal ghosts with this painting, and their power should not be underestimated, you must always hold one in your hand first."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed.

The words of the henchman touched an unknown part of her heart.

She also thought that if the emperor just couldn't do it, she could still hold the second prince and the third prince in her hands, and there were some loyal ministers around her to assist, even if she confronted Princess Yongqing openly, the other party would not dare to do anything to her.

The Queen Mother nodded, "You quickly leave the palace, go to the Su clan to pass on the decree of the palace, and summon the patriarch of the Su clan into the palace." ”

Su, ancestral hall.

Su Yuan knelt alone on the futon.

The ancestral hall was quiet, and the offering table in front of it was full of tablets of the ancestors of the Su family.

Su Yuan hung his head, looking respectful, but his eyes were clear.

The wooden door creaked open, and a woman in her forties walked in.

"Yuan'er......" the woman called softly.

Su Yuan knelt motionless, "Mother called the wrong one, there is no Su Yuan here, and her daughter's name is Su Yuan." ”

The woman's face was sad and she stepped into the ancestral hall.

"Mother, is my father here?" Su Yuan asked.

"I didn't tell him." The woman sighed.

If Su Yuan's father knew, how could he allow her to visit his child.

Su Yuan made a mistake, and according to Su's family motto, he had to be punished.

The woman came to Su Yuan's side and slowly leaned over to her, "You know your father, among the children in the family, you are the most talented, and he originally wanted you to inherit the position of head of the family." ”

Su Yuan's face was cold, "I disappointed my father." ”

The woman sighed and reached out to brush Su Yuan's arm, "But you have given your body to others like this, and now your father's expectations are empty, how can he not be angry and annoyed." ”

"The daughter knows, the mother doesn't need to say, I don't blame the father." Su Yuan stared at the ground quietly, "Mother, go back, I will kneel here until my father is satisfied." ”

"In fact, as long as you admit your mistake to your father, your father will arrange a family affair for you, and then you will be at home with peace of mind to teach your husband and children, and you won't think about other things."

Su Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I understand what my mother means, but ...... I don't want to stay in the back house and be an ordinary woman. ”

When the woman saw her so stubborn, she was puzzled, "But you have become a daughter, what do you want to do if you don't become a woman in the back house?" ”

Su Yuan slowly turned his head and looked at his mother, "Why can't you do what you like after you get married?" ”

"Because...... We are women. ”

Su Yuan sneered, "Then I won't be married." ”

"Yuan'er!"

"I shouldn't have done my father's business." Su Yuan said coldly, "If the mother goes back to tell her father, she will say that her daughter is not filial, and this matter cannot be accepted." ”

"You ......," the woman was anxious and angry, "and you refuse to say who broke your body, and you refuse to marry, what do you let us do?" ”

"You don't have to do anything, my daughter just wants to live on her own terms......"

"Impossible!" Before Su Yuan could finish speaking, the woman ruthlessly interrupted her, "In the past, your father indulged you and tolerated you, just thinking of raising you as a man, so that you were allowed to show up before your body was decided, who would have thought that you would ......?"

Su Yuan hung his head and was silent.

"Who the hell are you with...... Why don't you say it? The woman was in a hurry.

"What's the point of saying it?" Su Yuan smiled indifferently, "Does my father still want to avenge me?" ”

The woman sighed again and again.

Su Yuan also stopped talking, and knelt silently with his head down.

I don't know how long it took, but panicked footsteps sounded faintly outside the door.

"Ma'......am, ma'am," cried a little maid outside, in a low voice.

The woman turned her head to look out the door and answered, "What is the matter?" ”

"Someone is coming to the palace, summon the master into the palace."

The woman was taken aback, "What does the master say?" ”

"The lord has already commanded, and he will be called seriously ill to the outside world, and no one will see him, madam, go to the front yard and have a look, the people in the palace have been waiting in the front hall for a long time."

The woman quickly stood up.

Su Yuan raised his head, "Father has been pretending to be sick?" "Since she returned to the imperial city, she has been punished by her father in the ancestral hall, and she doesn't know what is going on outside.

The woman nervously retracted her fingers, "The emperor is sick, Princess Yongqing has taken control of the government and fought against the queen mother, all the soul masters who came to the palace to visit the little emperor were killed by Princess Yongqing, and even the head of the Gu clan was detained by Princess Yongqing in the Criminal Department......"

Su Yuan was shocked.

Princess Yongqing is not an ordinary woman, if she was a man, the first emperor would pass the throne to her.

"Could it be...... Princess Yongqing wants to ......"

The woman quickly covered Su Yuan's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Su Yuan frowned, "The Queen Mother summoned her father to the palace, but I am afraid that it is also for the emperor's business, how can Princess Yongqing allow him to enter the palace." ”

"Your father had thought of this a long time ago, which is why he called himself sick at home."

While the two were talking, a small servant suddenly ran outside, shouting in panic, "Madame, Madam, it's not good!" ”

"What's the alarm?" Su Yuan scolded.

The little servant knelt down at the foot of the steps," said the man from the palace...... Even if the old man is sick, he has to enter the palace, and if he can't go, they will carry it! ”

Su Yuan chuckled in his heart.

It seems that the Queen Mother is determined to tie the Su family to her boat.

When the woman heard this, she hurried out.

Su Yuan took her hand, "I'll accompany my mother." ”

"But......" Su Yuan is still being punished here, and if she leaves without permission, she will make her father angry.

"It's all at this time, and I can manage this." Su Yuan said disdainfully and helped her mother out of the ancestral hall.

The woman sighed.

But fortunately, Su Yuan has been raised as a boy since she was a child, so she is much calmer than ordinary women when she encounters this kind of thing.

When I came to the front yard, I saw that the eunuchs in the palace with more than 50 palace guards confronted the subordinates of the Su Mansion, wanting to forcibly break into Master Su's house.

"Stop!" Su Yuan shouted.

Everyone stopped.

Su Yuan helped her mother to the eunuch in the palace.

"Mrs. Sue." The eunuch raised his face with a sharp voice, "Our family is ordered by the Queen Mother to invite Master Su into the palace." ”

"My lord has been sick recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed." Mrs. Su was embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter if you can't get out of bed, our family brings a lot of people, so we can carry them away." As soon as the eunuch waved his hand, the palace guards behind him were about to rush into the house.

The subordinates of the Su Mansion all looked at Mrs. Su.

You must know that the other party is the head of the palace, and if they forcibly stop it, it will be a protest, and the queen mother can't afford to be guilty.

Seeing that the palace guards were about to rush into the house, Su Yuan took a step forward and blocked the door.

"Since my father is sick and can't get out of bed, I'll walk for him."

"Yuan'er!" Mrs. Su's face changed in shock.

Entering the palace at this time, there is more than one luck.

Su Yuan smiled indifferently, "Mother don't worry, I often go to the palace, but it's just a trip." After that, she arched her hand to the eunuch, still seeing her with a manly salute, "When I go to change my clothes, I will go with you." ”

The eunuch looked at Su Yuan, and seemed to be a little undecided, "Are you...... Mr. Su from the College? You, how are you a woman? ”

Su Yuan is now wearing women's clothes, and she used to be a frequent visitor in the palace, and many eunuchs recognized her.

Su Yuan's expression was indifferent, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't say more, when you get to the Queen Mother, I have my own explanation." ”

The eunuch heard her say this, and shut his mouth.

Everyone in the palace knows the rules, and it's better not to inquire about some secrets, otherwise the more you know, the faster you will die.

Su Yuan changed her clothes, ignored her mother's objections, and followed the eunuch in the palace to leave the Su Mansion.

Mrs. Su looked at Su Yuan's departing back and choked lowly, and after a long time, she turned around and entered the main house.

Master Su sat on the bed in a daze, a little distracted.

"Yuan'er, she ......" Mrs. Su's tears fell suddenly, and she yelled at her man: "She is worthy of our Su family and worthy of you!" ”

Mrs. Su ran out crying.

Old Man Su thumped the bed board with his hand in annoyance.

At the moment of the emperor's order, even the Gu clan can't resist it, and he is just a mantis arm blocking the car.

was ready to fight to the death, but he didn't expect that it was his own who took the initiative to replace him in the end...... Daughter.

"Silly girl, I originally wanted to make her the head of the house after death...... This stupid boy. Master Su muttered to himself, and unconsciously, the old man burst into tears.

Palace.

Su Yuan entered the palace gate surrounded by the palace guards.

The eunuch's footsteps were in a hurry, and she almost stepped on her robe several times, Su Yuan walked slowly, and the palace guards behind her pushed her.

Just after passing the three palace gates, I suddenly saw a murderous aura in front of me, and hundreds of Praetorian Guards blocked the way.

"What people!" The Janissaries shouted.

The eunuch's sideburns immediately dripped, but he could only step forward and say, "Our family is the ...... by the Queen Mother's side."

Before the words fell, the Praetorian Guards who were questioning him raised their swords and cut off the eunuch's head.

Su Yuan stood behind, hot blood splashing on her face.

Warm to the touch, authentic.

Su Yuan's expression was indifferent, but his face was bloody.

The Janissaries parted on either side, and out of them came a richly dressed woman.

Su Yuan's eyes shrank, even if he was unwilling, he could only give a salute, "I've seen Princess Yongqing." ”

Princess Yongqing looked at her proudly.

"Are you...... Who is in Sioux Province? ”

"In Shimosugaku."

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Su from the academy." Princess Yongqing chuckled and looked at her, "This palace remembers that you have a marriage contract with the little princess, but how did you become a daughter?" ”

Su Yuan is neither humble nor arrogant, "This matter is also caused by the repair of the Phoenix Pagoda, and it is also a last resort." ”

Princess Yongqing's eyes flashed with coldness, "I am very interested in the secrets of the Su family, I don't know if Mr. Su is interested in sitting on the palace mansion." ”

"The Queen Mother summoned her, and there are important things to do below."

Princess Yongqing waved her hand disdainfully, "The Queen Mother is not in a hurry, the palace will send someone to inform the voice." ”

With a wave of her hand, the Praetorian Guards suddenly rushed towards Su Yuan, and before Su Yuan could react, they drew their swords and slaughtered all the palace guards behind her.

The hot blood splashed Su Yuan's body, and even his clothes were soaked.

Princess Yongqing ignored her embarrassment and still sent her an invitation, "Mr. Su, please." ”

You have to go, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go!

The Praetorian Guards swarmed up and surrounded Su Yuan.

Princess Yongqing looked down at her haughtily.

"Mr. Su, please."

Su Yuan hesitated for a moment as he took a step.

She knew very well in her heart that if she really followed Princess Yongqing, she would face the same fate as the head of the Gu family.

was locked up and became a bargaining chip to blackmail their clan.

The Praetorian Guards all looked stiff and their eyes glazed over, and the moment they approached her, she felt a strong ghostly aura.

They...... All of them are controlled by Princess Yongqing.

Su Yuan lowered his head, his gaze falling on his chest.

This time when she entered the palace, she only carried a few empty scrolls on her body, but the guards in front of her were obviously all controlled by ghosts, even if she was covered in iron, she could twist a few nails.

Only by summoning the Yin soldier on her middle coat, the ghost dog, can she find a chance to escape.

But even if she can escape for a while, she can't escape for a lifetime, this is in the palace, and there are Princess Yongqing's eyeliner everywhere.

Just as Su Yuan hesitated, Princess Yongqing suddenly walked in front of her, reached out and took the sword from the hand of one of the Praetorian Guards, and stabbed directly into Su Yuan's shoulder.

Su Yuan's eyes widened in shock.

Before she could come back to her senses, Princess Yongqing picked up the tip of the sword in her hand, Su Yuan's clothes were stabbed open by the tip of the sword, and the ghost dog on the middle coat was awakened and pounced out.

Princess Yongqing quickly retreated, and the Praetorian Guards pounced on her, swinging their swords at the Phantom Dog.

Su Yuan stumbled to the ground, holding his shoulder pierced by the sword with one hand.

The dog was so ferocious that it bit the necks of several Praetorian Guards, but those people still pounced on them to fight the dog as if they didn't feel the fear of death.

Su Yuan's gaze passed through the chaotic figures and looked at Princess Yongqing not far away.

In the eyes of the other party, what she saw was a ruthless cold light.

She knows everything!

Su Yuan's mind was buzzing.

Together with her family's secrets, it turned out that Princess Yongqing had known it for a long time.

Su Yuan endured the shoulder wound and struggled to move backwards, wanting to stay away from a scuffle in front of him.

Her Phantom Dog is very powerful, but its current opponent is not a human, but some Praetorian Guards possessed by ghosts, plus Princess Yongqing is there, she knows that the Phantom Dog will not last long.

This is her only and last chance.

Just as she was getting up from the ground, a foot appeared in front of her eyes.

Someone grabbed her clothes.

"Mr. Su actually brought Yin soldiers into the palace, is he trying to plot against him?" Princess Yongqing said loudly, "Come on, take her down!" ”

Su Yuan's arm was twisted behind her by the Praetorian Guard, and in the chaos she saw that the ghost dog was slashed by the sword, and her body turned into a little light and disappeared into the air.

Su Yuan endured the pain in her shoulder and slammed into the Praetorian Guards who were holding her.

As soon as the man's hand moved, Su Yuan pulled out an arm and pulled the opponent's sword out of the scabbard at his waist with a bang.

She didn't know martial arts, but she had more or less studied with Gu Yue when she was in the academy.

At the beginning, Gu Yue also made fun of her as a man who was powerless, so he urged her to play with a sword in the academy every day.

I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Merely...... The first person she wanted to kill was herself.

Because she clearly knows that she has no way out.

Princess Yongqing will use this reason to force their clan to a dead end.

Just as Su Yuan pointed the blade of the sword towards her, she heard the sound of the piano, and a familiar figure walked in from outside the gate of the Sandao Palace.
