The guards brought by the second prince were about to rush forward.

"I see who dares!" Xiao Xu was furious, and one sideways blocked in front of Chu Junlan.

The guards looked at Prince Gong's son, and then at Prince Gong, who was expressionless in his hands, and didn't dare to step forward for a while.

Chu Junlan sneered, shook his head and said: "I really can't stand it, I have already said that the emperor is awake, you are so noisy, disturbing the emperor's recuperation, is it really good?" ”

The second prince's complexion immediately changed.

The emperor woke up, has what he said and done here already been listened to by the emperor? If the emperor is dissatisfied, he can immediately issue an order to abolish him!

Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but sweat on his forehead and back.

Chu Junlan walked to the courtyard gate of the Heart Cultivation Hall and said, "It's not early, please send me out of the palace." ”

Xiao Xu nodded, walked quickly to Chu Junlan and said, "I'll send you." ”

Chu Junlan turned around and saluted Prince Gong, and then bowed to the second prince, and then turned around and left with Xiao Xu.

The second prince looked at Chu Junlan's back with a gloomy face, and did not move for a long time.

Prince Gong squinted at the second prince, then looked at the direction where Xiao Xu and Chu Junlan left, and snorted: "Second Highness, what else do you have to say?" ”

……

Chu Junlan didn't care what Prince Gong and the second prince were going to talk about, in fact, if it weren't for Xiao Xu's relationship, she would definitely not want to get involved in the whirlpool of the battle for the throne.

Stepping on the long road out of the palace, all the palace people met greeted each other.

Xiao Xu's face was expressionless, when he kept his face calm and didn't speak, it was like snow on a high ridge, making people dare not approach, and the palace people who saluted did not dare to approach, so they left in a hurry after completing the courtesy.

Chu Junlan said: "Are you still angry? ”

Xiao Xu was silent for a moment, and his pace slowed down a little: "I don't want to be angry either, but I can't control my anger." The emperor lingered on the sickbed for some days, and he didn't see anyone who was good enough to fulfill his filial piety, so he was in a coma for two days, and the prince and ministers were exposed. ”

"The second prince is so anxious because the sixth prince is pressing too hard?"

Xiao Xu nodded: "The mother concubine of the six princes is the emperor's favorite concubine, and there is a huge family power behind her, the Cai family has strong financial resources, and its power in the court is intertwined, I think that as long as the six princes are given some time, most of the ministers in the court will stand on the side of the six princes." In contrast, although the second prince stands orthodox, he can only hope to grasp the situation as quickly as possible and take the lead in order to compete with the sixth prince. ”

Chu Junlan shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "In the final analysis, it is the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Family. Dad is sick, and he doesn't think about how to treat his father, but he is busy fighting for the family property first, and he can't let his father die soon. ”

Chu Junlan's popular remarks and emotions made Xiao Xu laugh when he heard it, the truth is indeed as she said, if the most ruthless is the heavenly family.

Xiao Xu sighed a little lonely: "Qingqing, I won't tell you, I really can't see Uncle Huang like this." Although I never saw my uncle care about me when I was a fool in the past, during this time he cared for me very much, treated me as his son, and taught me very carefully. Maybe the fate between people is always indescribable, he is so good to me, I can't see him suffering. ”

Chu Junlan smiled, Xiao Xu has lacked the care of his parents since he was a child, and Emperor Jinghong treats him as his own son and nephew, he should praise and scold, but he seems to be closer, more like a relationship between father and son than Prince Gong's lukewarm and incomprehensible attitude.

Thinking of this, Chu Junlan couldn't help but think of the complicated eyes that Prince Gong looked at Xiao Xu when he was in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Xiao Xu once said that Prince Gong once scolded him for being a mongrel and left him to fend for himself.

Could it be that there is really any relationship between the current emperor and Xiao Xu's biological mother Xu Moran?

Chu Junlan was shocked by his thoughts. If Xiao Xu is really the emperor's son, then the days ahead will be predictably turbulent.

The two were silent for a moment, and then Chu Junlan took his thoughts back, recalled everything he had just done in the palace, pondered for a while, and said, "The emperor is actually not sick. ”

Xiao Xu looked down at Chu Junlan in surprise.

Chu Junlan said: "I have already said that although the emperor is a little weaker, he will be cured soon after recuperation, and he will not be in a coma at all." ”

"Yes, you just said it might be something you don't know about."

"That's true, but I just thought about it carefully, perhaps, the emperor had to make this decision because he couldn't ask for immortality."

The two of them stopped slowly, no palace people around them dared to stop and eavesdrop, Xiao Xu pondered for a moment with a solemn face, and suddenly understood what Chu Junlan meant.

Originally, the emperor was confident that he could live forever, so the Dayong Dynasty would definitely live in peace and stability for a long time under his rule, and he didn't care much about the prince's choice.

But now, the dream of immortality has been shattered, and the emperor has to start thinking about the inheritance of the throne and pass it on to the elder, which is a rule since ancient times, but with Xiao Xu's understanding of the emperor, Emperor Jinghong is not a person who will be subject to this constraint, he will definitely choose a person who can sit firmly in the country and make the Dayong Dynasty more and more prosperous.

Therefore, this time the emperor is in a coma and critically ill, which may be just the first step to establish a prince.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xu's eyes deepened, and he laughed softly: "It seems that this is a trial. ”

Chu Junlan said: "There is a high probability that this is the case, because I really don't know what strange disease the emperor is suffering from, but this reason is more reasonable." In short, no matter how the princes fight these days, you have to be stable and do what you have to do. ”

"This is natural, I'm just a clansman, and I can't do anything but be loyal," Xiao Xu took Chu Junlan's hand and continued to walk outside the palace, saying, "I may not have much time to accompany you these days, and I have wronged you." ”

"What is there to be wronged about? Anyway, it's almost the New Year, and the family is very busy. Chu Junlan is not a coquettish person, Xiao Xu said this, but it made her uncomfortable.

Xiao Xu smiled, and said with a solemn face: "I will find a way to arrange someone to protect the imperial uncle, so that no one will jump over the wall in a hurry and do anything to hurt the imperial uncle." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and bowed his head.

Human nature cannot be tested, maybe the emperor will test a result that he will not be satisfied with, but Xiao Xu's performance, the emperor will definitely be satisfied. Therefore, Chu Junlan did not object to Xiao Xu's approach.

After Chu Junlan returned to the house, he did not tell Chu Hua everything in the palace, but only instructed him: "It's better to be sick these days, anyway, the emperor is sick and doesn't go to the court, and if he persists for a while, it will be the New Year, and the seal of the yamen will be sealed." ”

Chu Hua didn't get to the bottom of it, only nodded his head, and the next day he began to say that he was sick at home.

The dispute between the second prince and the sixth prince also kicked off at the same time.
