Shen Yun was so worried that she felt like her heart was pressing on a boulder, which made her breathless.

There was another thunderous applause from the crowd, but she turned a deaf ear.

The sky above the school field also darkened at some point, and the clouds above were densely covered with clouds.

It seems that a storm is coming.

Gonggong Ni looked at the sky and cautiously asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, I don't know if it will rain in this sky, do you want to ...... "Hurry back to the palace?"

"Not necessarily." The emperor raised his hand and refused, "Xuanjing Dao Chief has calculated, until Wanshou Day, it is good weather." ”

A gray-haired old minister next to him echoed with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Xuanjing Daoist is indeed profound, and he is proficient in divination, praying for rain, and alchemy, and he is really a god." ”

Several courtiers around took advantage of the situation to praise the emperor for a few words, praising the emperor for his wisdom and martial arts, so that there were gods to help Yunyun.

The emperor listened quite comfortably, the folding fan in his hand shook leisurely, and his eyes flashed slightly.

While the monarch and ministers were talking, the teenagers in the school field below had already ridden their horses and ran for half a lap, and each of them was doing their best, not afraid of the danger of falling off the horse, and they all wanted to show their faces in front of the emperor.

The horses' hooves thundered in the field.

Looking at the teenagers who were bending their bows on their horses, the emperor said with emotion: "Heroes are teenagers, these teenage boys are all riding ** Zhan, and they are extremely brave, which is really my luck." ”

"I still remember that when the Nine Emperor Brothers were twelve years old, they concealed their identity and won the first place in the martial arts examination......

No one expected that the emperor would suddenly mention King Chen, and several courtiers looked a little strange, and they didn't know how to pick up this topic.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't expect them to say anything, so he smiled and asked, "Is the Nine Emperor Brother here today?" ”

The ministers looked at each other, and several of them had already tasted a little taste: the emperor naturally knew that King Chen was not there, but he still asked knowingly, afraid that he had ulterior motives.

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Chen has never come." The old minister replied immediately.

The emperor frowned slightly, as if he was not safe, "When my father was here, he came to see the martial arts test every year, why didn't you see him today?" ”

The emperor's words are all about this, and the old minister and several other close ministers are more and more aware in their hearts, and the emperor has the best intention to come to King Chen.

The old minister followed the emperor's wishes and said: "His Royal Highness King Chen has been closing the door recently, maybe you have forgotten?" ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Chen has always admired young people who are both civil and military, anyway, King Chen's Mansion is not far from here, why don't His Royal Highness King Xuanchen come over and have fun?" Another middle-aged minister suggested with a smile.

As he said, King Chen's Mansion is only two streets away from this school field, and it doesn't take much time to go back and forth.

The emperor was quite satisfied with the interest of these two people, and instructed Ni Gong to say fairly: "Go to the palace of King Chen to come here for the ninth emperor brother of Zhenxuan." ”

Gonggong Ni respectfully accepted the order and withdrew from the emperor's seat.

The competition below continues in full swing.

After a stick of incense, Grandpa Ni came back, and there was an empty one behind him, and everyone had an answer in their hearts.

Sure enough—

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Chen refuses to come." Father-in-law Ni said dryly, this result was also guessed by him.

Gonggong Ni thought that the emperor would be furious, but he didn't want to, but the emperor smiled, fanned his fan, and got up and said, "Then I will personally go to pick up the Nine Emperor Brothers." ”

The emperor actually plans to go to King Chen's Mansion?!

The ministers were shocked again.

Although they couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions, since the emperor planned to drive to the palace of King Chen, they naturally wanted to go together, and the courtiers who accompanied them got up one after another, and even some of the courtiers who were originally here to watch the game also followed.

A group of courtiers surrounded the emperor and got off the high platform, looking at the momentum.

Such a big movement naturally fell into the eyes of other people around him.

Chu Qianchen, who was on the high platform diagonally opposite, also saw it, and quietly glanced at Amber and asked her to take a look.

Amber was very clever, silently retreated, and after inquiring about the news, he came back in a hurry, and whispered to Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen's face changed slightly.

She stood up immediately, walked up to Shen, and said, "Mother, when I came, I saw a bookstore in front of me, and I wanted to go and see it." ”

"There you go." Shen guessed that Chu Qianchen must have something urgent, and responded happily.

Shen Yun on the side had something on his mind, lowered his eyes and drank tea, and didn't look at Chu Qianchen at all.

After Chu Qianchen went out of the school field, she took a small road to King Chen's mansion, she didn't go to the main door, but knocked on the door of the house next door, and entered the palace through the secret door from this house.

The person who answered her was still the old lady from last time.

Gu Jue was not there, so the old lady led her to see Yun Zhan.

Not long after Chu Qianchen entered the palace, the emperor's royal car arrived, plus the accompanying civil and military generals, Jinyi guards and forbidden army soldiers, this team had more than 200 people, and this team looked mighty and impressive.

Such a team from the school field to Chenwang's Mansion also attracted a lot of people to follow, and the team was even bigger.

A long line of carriages and horses stopped in front of the vermilion lacquer gate of King Chen's mansion.

A small chamberlain ran and knocked on the door of the palace, and soon the porter of the palace came to answer the door.

Xiao Nei shouted arrogantly: "The emperor has arrived, don't come to greet him quickly!" ”

So, the vermilion lacquer gate of the palace was opened, and this was the second time that the main gate of the palace was opened after Gu Jue returned to Beijing from the north.

The two teams of palace guards came out of the palace with good training, standing in two rows inside and outside the gate, their bodies were straight, and their momentum was amazing, not at all like ordinary guards.

They are indeed not ordinary guards, all of them have followed Gu Jue to the Northland, and have experienced life and death tempering on the battlefield, they just stood there quietly, like a treasure knife hidden in a sheath, and even those forbidden troops were pressed down.

When they were settled, Yun Zhan, dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, strode forward, his long figure was as tall as a pine, and his steps were vigorous.

He walked to the golden dragon chariot without squinting, and saluted with his fists in a dignified manner: "The emperor is here in person, and the end will be far away." ”

From beginning to end, he didn't look at Uncle Zhongyong who was driving behind, Uncle Zhongyong's face was slightly condensed, and he scolded in his heart: Rebel!

The other ministers exchanged glances with different expressions. Today, the emperor came to King Chen's mansion in person, and it stands to reason that King Chen, as a courtier, should have come to greet him personally, but King Chen only let Yun Zhan come to greet him.

In front of the public, so many pairs of eyes stared at King Chen's mansion, from the courtiers to the common people, but King Chen "dared" to despise the emperor so much, why?

The ministers couldn't help but wonder, is King Chen arrogant to the point of having no saints, or is he unable to come to meet him?

The emperor slowly and leisurely opened the corner of the curtain, revealing half of his face, and asked lukewarmly, "What about the Nine Emperor Brothers?" Why didn't you pick up the driver? ”

"Back to the emperor, the prince was slightly infected with the wind and cold, and he was sick on the couch." Yun Zhan replied succinctly, quietly.

The prince went to Nanyang with Qin Yao this time, and only took Mo Shen with him, leaving him and Xue Fengyan behind, and letting them guard King Chen's Mansion and Chu Qianchen.

Before leaving, the prince told him that if there was something wrong with him during his absence, since the emperor believed that he was seriously ill, then let the emperor think that he was indeed "seriously ill".

However, Yun Zhan didn't expect the emperor to come in person.

"Oh?" The emperor casually pulled the corners of his lower lip, as if with emotion, "There were many rising stars in the third of today's martial arts test, which reminded me of the heroic appearance of the Nine Emperor Brothers. ”

"These teenagers are the future of my Great Qi, if the Nine Emperor Brothers can go to the scene to reward these teenagers, it will also be a good story passed down from generation to generation."

The emperor's words were so high-sounding that some people on the side of the road couldn't help but boil with blood and their eyes were shining, and they felt that maybe there would be the next "King Chen" among the teenagers who participated in the martial arts test.

Yun Zhan didn't answer, and the emperor asked with "concern": "Is the wind chill of the Nine Emperor Brothers okay?" Have you ever asked for a doctor? ”

"Thank you for the emperor's care," Yun Zhan maintained a fist-hugging posture, "I have already invited a doctor." ”

Yun Zhan's words were vague, and he didn't say anything about Gu Jue's condition at all, and many courtiers knew it in their hearts when they heard it: King Chen's ten ** was really sick, and he didn't dare to ask the imperial doctor to come over, for fear that his illness would reach the emperor's ears and let the emperor take care of it.

In this case, King Chen has not shown up for a long time, I am afraid that he is too sick to get up.

And the emperor suddenly came to King Chen's mansion today, probably to confirm King Chen's illness.

The smile on the emperor's face deepened, "Since I'm here, I'll go and see the Nine Emperor Brothers." ”

The emperor looked like a "friendly younger brother", got down from the dragon chariot with the support of the inner attendant, and then walked towards the palace of King Chen with his head held high.

Yun Zhan and the courtiers and brocade guards brought by the emperor also followed, leaving only those forbidden troops waiting outside the palace.

It was not the first time for the emperor to come to the Chenwang Mansion, so he didn't need anyone to lead the way, so he walked towards the Tianshui Garden where Gu Jue lived.

The accompanying courtiers entered the Chenwang Mansion for the first time, and they couldn't help but look around a few times, and many people secretly sighed: This Chenwangfu is inevitably a little empty, as if the master does not plan to live here for a long time.

When they came to the gate of Tianshui Garden, the atmosphere changed again.

There were also two rows of royal palace guards standing in the courtyard of Tianshui Garden, all of them tall and mighty, one by one unabashedly releasing murderous aura, as if they would pull out the sabers on their waists if they didn't agree with each other.

Some of the ministers in the rear already regretted it at the moment, and felt that they should not have followed the emperor.

What if the emperor insists on seeing King Chen, and these royal guards stop him, and the two sides will fight each other if they don't agree with each other? !

As if to verify their thoughts, Yun Zhan's cold voice sounded in front of him again: "Wind and cold are easy to contagious, and the emperor's dragon body is ...... expensive."

Yun Zhan seemed to be worried that Gu Jue would infect the emperor with the wind and cold, but everyone knew that he was giving an order to the emperor to expel guests.

"It's just a cold wind, and I'm not that expensive."

The emperor interrupted Yun Zhan lightly and smiled slightly, but the smile was not as good as his eyes.

The air ahead was full of sparks, and the atmosphere was tense and tense.

Some people silently took a few steps behind, and seeing that no one was looking, they took a few steps back.

The gods fight, and the imps suffer.

It's better for them to stay away, anyway, if King Chen loses his military power, they won't do any good.

"Smack!"

Suddenly there was a sound of porcelain falling to the ground in the hall in front of them, and a teacup fell to the ground, shattering it in pieces.

The maid who had stumbled and dropped the teacup looked at the emperor in the courtyard with trepidation.

"Hooray!"

In the next moment, I heard a slightly cold female voice reprimand unhappily.

The girl's voice came like the gurgling of a mountain stream, obviously not light or heavy, but with a peculiar penetrating power, it clearly came into everyone's ears.

The emperor frowned slightly, and when he followed the prestige, he saw a blue figure walking into the hall from the second room.

The slender girl had a veil over her face, and said to a few maids in the house, "Can't I make you quiet so easily?" ”

"Since you have invited me to treat King Chen, you should abide by my rules!"

She frowned slightly, and there was a bit of arrogance in her expression and tone.

It's her! The emperor recognized Chu Qianchen at a glance, and stopped under a plane tree.

The faint shadow of the plane tree reflected on the emperor's face, making his expression look unfathomable.

"Divine Doctor!" Yun Zhan walked quickly into the hall and solemnly arched his hand to Chu Qianchen, who was about to leave, "It's they who are rude, please don't be surprised." ”

Those courtiers were also guessing Chu Qianchen's identity, Yun Zhan's words verified their guesses, and now, they were all convinced: King Chen is really sick!

There were more than 20 noble courtiers present, each with their own positions and expressions, exchanging glances in twos and threes.

Some people frowned worriedly, if King Chen was really seriously ill, would the news reach the ears of Nanhao people; Some people wait and see what happens; As for those royalists, they were secretly happy in their hearts, thinking that since King Chen was seriously ill, he was bound to hand over his military power.

Uncle Zhong Yong hurriedly stepped forward, also entered the hall, and shouted at Yun Zhan: "Yun Zhan, what are you messing around!" ”

Uncle Zhong Yong is strong and strong, and he is actually panicked in his heart: any fool can also see that the emperor is now clearly looking for trouble with King Chen, and wants to confirm whether King Chen is seriously ill. Yun Zhan is so messy, isn't this deliberately against the emperor?!

In case the emperor turns his anger on the Yun family, their Yun family will be killed by this rebel!

If it weren't for the emperor and other courtiers being in the courtyard outside at this moment, Uncle Zhong Yong would have already slapped Yun Zhan in the face.

Rebel, what a rebel!

When his mother gave birth to him, she should have strangled him to death so as not to harm the whole family!

Yun Zhan still ignored Uncle Zhong Yong, and said to Chu Qianchen in a good voice: "I'm tired of the divine doctor." ”

Chu Qianchen stroked his sleeve impatiently and said, "I'm doing the needle, and it's a thousand miles away." If you quarrel again, you will take a wrong step and bear the consequences! ”

Her last four words were almost a word-for-word.

Father-in-law Ni pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: What kind of miracle doctor is arrogant, and she looks like she was in Jishitang that day, and there is no one in her eyes!

Thinking of the day when the miracle doctor made a big statement to the emperor and the crown prince, Ni Gonggong's heart was complicated: Except for King Chen, probably only this unknown miracle doctor dared to throw his face at the emperor.

Gonggong Ni quietly went to see the emperor's face, thinking that the emperor would be furious when he saw this miracle doctor again.

No, the emperor instead curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The emperor was indeed in a very good mood.

From the few words of this miracle doctor, it is equivalent to confirming that Gu Jue is sick, and he is not lightly ill.

Gu Jue was simply sick and confused, and he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and he really pinned his life on such a little girl who was famous and famous, and had no dust at her sight!!

Ridiculous, really ridiculous!

This alone was enough to make the emperor too lazy to care about what kind of attitude she had.

The emperor took a few steps forward, stopped under the eaves of the hall, and interjected "worriedly" and asked, "Isn't King Chen cold, isn't he very sick?" ”

Chu Qianchen turned around as if he hadn't heard it, and threw a sentence at Yun Zhan: "Yun Zhan, I need to be quiet, don't make noise here." ”

Before the last word fell, she stroked her sleeves and left, leaving dozens of people inside and outside the house to look at each other.

The curtain that led to the second room opened and fell, and the curtain shook gently back and forth.

The courtiers behind the emperor, including Zhongyongbo, were all stunned, they had never seen anyone dare to ignore the emperor like this.

There was silence all around.

The Emperor looked at the curtain, his mood became better, and a sharp light flashed in his shrewd eyes.

Yun Zhan also glanced at the door curtain, frowned slightly, his eyes were deep, and replied for Chu Qianchen: "Your Majesty, the prince is just a cold ......"

"Yunzhan, shut up!" Uncle Zhong Yong scolded Yun Zhan angrily again, cold sweat on his forehead, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Uncle Zhong Yong glared at Yun Zhan viciously, his eyes were full of warnings: King Chen is obviously seriously ill, and it has reached this point, this rebel is still helping King Chen cover up, so the emperor really wants to investigate it, this is the crime of bullying the king!

The crime of bullying the king is a great sin of killing the head!

Uncle Zhong Yongbo felt that a large piece of sweat was already wet behind him, and he softened his tone: "The prince is the emperor's brother, and the emperor loves his brother with a fist, and the royal driver is also worried about the prince's body when he comes to the palace......"

"Since the emperor is worried about the prince, then please go back," Yun Zhan appropriately grasped the end of Zhong Yongbo's words, and said, "The divine doctor is treating the prince, and you must pay full attention......

As he spoke, he looked at the Emperor again, making eye contact with the Emperor.

How does this rebel speak! Uncle Zhong Yong was angry with Yun Zhan again, and his chest rose and fell violently twice.

The emperor also felt in his heart that Yun Zhan didn't know how to lift up, didn't know about current affairs, and he still helped Gu Jue to be rude to him, but his words could be regarded as a disguised admit-

Gu Jue was seriously ill.

No matter how much the emperor wanted Gu Jue to die in his heart, but those superficial efforts still had to be done, and he sighed quietly: "The Nine Emperor Brothers are all sick like this, why don't you come to report it, why should you invite a few imperial doctors to come to the house." ”

"Spread my word, go to the Tai Hospital and send a few Tai Doctors over!" The emperor instructed Ni Gong to be fair, and his pupils were surprisingly bright.

At this time, the door curtain was raised again, and Xue Fengyan walked out of the second room.

He bowed to the emperor and clenched his fists, saying, "Thank you for your kindness." The last general and others have already invited a miracle doctor for the prince. ”

The emperor glanced at the door curtain again, only thinking that Xue Fengyan came out on Gu Jue's orders, and hooked the corners of his lower lip mockingly.

The emperor said that he wanted to pass on the imperial doctor to Gu Jue, and he originally showed the courtiers an attitude, but Xue Fengyan's refusal was exactly what he wanted.

Several of Gu Jue's subordinates are really as self-righteous as Gu Jue, and if they have to invite a Jianghu Langzhong to see Gu Jue, it is no wonder that they can't be cured. It's a pity that there is still a glimmer of life in this Gu Jue's life.

I have to cut off his life!

At some point, the sun, which had been blocked by the clouds, came out again, and the golden sunlight poured down.

The emperor smiled slightly, raised his eyes to look at the bright sun in the blue sky, and said meaningfully to Gonggong Ni: "I'm right, right? It's a good day. ”

"The emperor is right." Father-in-law Ni smiled and only agreed, and he also sighed in his heart: Xuanjing Dao Chang is really accurate!

The emperor hooked his lips and ordered: "Xuanxuanjing Dao Chang to the school field." ”

Father-in-law Ni answered "yes" and ordered a young chamberlain in Tsing Yi to run an errand, and he himself stayed by the emperor's side to wait.

When the emperor left, the courtiers who accompanied him could only follow.

Looking at the distant backs of the emperor and his party, Yun Zhan and Xue Fengyan exchanged a tacit look.

The emperor came here on purpose, definitely not to confirm whether the prince was really sick, I am afraid that there will be a trick.

However, the soldiers are coming to block, and their Chenwang Mansion is not a soft bun to be kneaded!

Yun Zhan also strode up, in order to see off the emperor's uninvited guest.

When he left the palace, Uncle Zhong Yong glared at Yun Zhan fiercely, and wanted to say that he should not return to Bofu after he had the ability, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Yun Zhan had never returned to Bofu since he returned to Beijing.

Uncle Zhong Yong brushed his sleeves away.

The emperor and his group came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

In the middle of summer in June, the weather is hot.

When the group returned to the school grounds, the ministers were already sweating profusely, and several old ministers were almost fainted from the sun.

Many people wondered what the emperor's intention was in taking a trip in person.

In the school grounds, there is still a rumbling cry, and the third round of riding and archery competition is underway.

Neither the emperor nor anyone else had the intention of watching the game.

The emperor had just returned to the elegant seat on the high platform and sat down, and Xuanjing with the little chamberlain in Tsing Yi also arrived.

Xuan Jing didn't see a drop of sweat on his body, and he was leisurely, which formed a sharp contrast with the sweaty courtiers around him.

Sure enough, it's a master! Gonggong Ni sighed again and led Xuanjing to the emperor.

"Attend the Emperor." Xuanjing saluted the emperor.

The emperor said straight to the point: "Dao Chief, I just went to the palace of King Chen, and only then did I learn that my Nine Emperor Brother King Chen was seriously ill, so how can you calculate how he can get through this pass?" ”

The emperor looked at Xuan Jing with a smile, and his deep eyes seemed to be like a vast ocean.

In the ears of others, it was the emperor's kindness to ask Xuanjing to tell Gu Jue's fortune, but Xuanjing's heart sank and his scalp was numb.

He is a smart person, of course he will not be stupid to be the emperor is really trying to help Gu Jue through the crisis, and the emperor's intentions are the opposite.

The emperor turned his finger on the jade wrench and said with emotion: "I still remember that when the Nine Emperor Brother was six years old, the Lord of Wuwei Guan once calculated a hexagram for him, saying that his 'destiny' Qingqi would become a treasure knife of Daqi and help Daqi overcome thorns and thorns, but there was a ......catastrophe in his life."

"Although it is said that people's 'destiny' is predestined by heaven, I think that this person is 'strong when he is strong, and weak when he is weak', and his personality may not be unchangeable. I am the Son of Heaven, since I am on his side, I will definitely be able to conquer the sky, what do you think? ”

Every word of the emperor's words is meaningful, and it hides a deep meaning that only he and Xuanjing Dao Chang can understand.

Xuan Jing has always been good at judging the situation and speculating on people's hearts, thinking about how he approved Chu Qianchen's life before, and he knew the meaning of the emperor's words......

Xuanjing secretly complained, he promised the second prince to give the second girl of the Chu family a few good words in front of the emperor, because he wanted to sell the second prince a good, but the sacred heart was unpredictable, but the emperor moved other thoughts because of Chu Qianchen's life of "strong when strong, weak when weak".

It is better to offend the second prince than to offend the emperor.

Xuan Jing knew very well in his heart that guilt and hesitation were just a blink of an eye, besides, if a person does not destroy the heavens and the earth for himself, he himself has to think about himself.

"Your Majesty, please allow the poor to do the fortune for His Royal Highness King Chen." Xuan Jing smiled slightly, shook off the dust, and his appearance was still like a fairy wind bone, and he couldn't see that in the short moment of Fang Cai, he was already thinking about it.

Immediately, a small dao brought the futon, Xuanjing sat down cross-legged on the futon, and then took out the tortoise shell and copper coin again, and solemnly calculated it.

The emperor drank his tea again, and was calm. He believed that a man of God like Xuanjing would understand his mind.

The eyes of the others were all fixed on Xuan Jing's body, and their eyes were scorching, as if they were even hotter and brighter than the scorching sun.

The sound of the tortoiseshell and the copper coin shaking clearly echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone's heartbeat also accelerated with this sound.

After pouring out a few copper coins, Xuanjing stared for a moment, pinched the fingers of his right hand a few times, and then raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, this catastrophe of His Royal Highness King Chen is too difficult...... I'm afraid that it is, I'm afraid that it will be ten deaths. ”
