After the passing scene, Ouyang Shu's heart was cold.

Lung cancer, this time the vocabulary began to swirl in Ouyang Shu's mind. He carefully checked again, yes, it was indeed lung cancer, and all the symptoms pointed to this answer.

Aiqing, what is my illness?, Zhao Xu asked casually.

Ouyang Shu was stunned, and after a little hesitation, he still replied: Your Majesty, the minister is not good at learning, so let's let the medical officers of the Tai Hospital come to see it and then draw conclusions.

A hint of gloom flashed in Zhao Xu's eyes. In fact, he knew that his disease was a terminal illness a long time ago, and he once secretly went out of the palace to see it, and came to the conclusion that this was the first terminal lung accumulation in the world besides tuberculosis. He was still a little unwilling at that time, so he found another famous doctor and came to the same conclusion, and then gradually accepted this fact. Pulmonary accumulation is considered to be an incurable disease in this world, and no matter how skilled a doctor is, once he encounters pulmonary accumulation, he is helpless.

Although Zhao Xu's heart was almost completely cold, he still couldn't help but feel a little lucky. It would have been a surprise if the two doctors had made the same mistake and his illness had not been so serious. However, when he heard Ouyang Shu speak in a roundabout way, he suddenly understood and said indifferently: Those imperial doctors may not be able to beat you. I believe you can see the sickness they can see, and the facts have proven that if they can't see it, you can see it too. Seeing Ouyang Shuwu's hesitation, he suddenly snorted and said, "Isn't it just lung accumulation?" Why did Aiqing spit out like this!

Zhao Xu actually knew his illness, which surprised Ouyang Shu! Generally, as an emperor, after getting sick, even if it was a terminal illness like lung accumulation, he would definitely seek famous doctors to treat him, even if it cost him how much money he had. However, Zhao Xu did not seek medical treatment, but even publicized it, and it was not until he said it himself recently, which made many people suddenly realize. It is indeed crazy enough for such a resolute and deep-hearted person to sit on the throne of the emperor. It is no wonder that he has deposed so many officials in the eight years since he was in power, and the cruelty of his methods is also unprecedented in this dynasty.

Ouyang Shu had no choice but to nod and say: What Your Majesty said is very true, according to Wei Chen, this is indeed a disease of pulmonary accumulation.

Zhao Xuteng stood up and said, "Li Aiqing, you should understand some of my intentions, right?"

Ouyang Shu somewhat understood what his so-called mind meant, but he was not sure, so he had to pretend to be confused and said: Please make it clear to Your Majesty, Weichen is very blunt!

Zhao Xu sneered: You are not dull, you are a new science and technology tanhua, or a tanhua hand-picked by me, so far there has not been a dull tanhua lang in this dynasty. If you insist on laughing at yourself like this, aren't you ironic that you don't know people?

Ouyang Shu didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Xu said noncommittally: Since Aiqing wants to pretend to be confused, I won't go around in circles with you, I will make it clear to you. Do you think it is feasible for my little prince to inherit my unification?

Ouyang Shu had already foreseen that Zhao Xu was going to provoke this topic, but when he heard Zhao Xu's question so bluntly, he was still taken aback, and he quickly knelt down and said: Your Majesty, the minister is a small official, and he is not yet listed in the court, how can he participate in such a major event as the prince of the country2. Please consult with the chief deacon and the attendant ministers, these ministers are highly respected and far-sighted, and will be able to give your majesty the most accurate answer.

Zhao Xu glanced at Ouyang Shu deeply, and saw that Ouyang Shu's whole body was cold, and his hairs stood up, and then he suddenly said: Ouyang Shu, I treat you with sincerity, but what kind of intentions do you have for me to repeatedly support me? Do you mean that you want me to tell everyone that I still have an unborn son, so that they can all change the law to kill my children?

Ouyang Shu hurriedly said: Weichen is speechless, Weichen doesn't dare! Zhao Xu is a little gloomy in this guy, sometimes he really doesn't look like an emperor. But it is this kind of emperor who does not look very much like an emperor that makes it more terrifying.

Zhao Xu said with a slight bow: That's it, you should analyze it for me according to your heart, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, and dodge, otherwise, I will not be spared!

Ouyang Shu had no choice but to say: Yes! He pondered for a while, and said: Your Majesty is the lord of the society, and if Your Majesty wants to pass on the throne to the little prince, although it may not be smooth, the possibility of success is far greater than the possibility of failure. as long as

As long as my body can last until the day my son is born, right?

Ouyang Shu nodded slowly and said, "Yes!"

Zhao Xu suddenly smiled meaningfully and said, "Then do you think I can support that day?"

Ouyang Shu's heart suddenly cooled, and he finally understood the reason why Zhao Xu asked. What he meant was to tell Ouyang Shu that if Ouyang Shu could extend his lifespan at least until the day the prince was born, then he would be a hero. not only did he make meritorious contributions to Zhao Xu's own treatment, but also made great contributions to supporting the new emperor's succession, and the new emperor would never treat Ouyang Shu badly in the future.

But on the contrary, Zhao Xu's life did not last to that day, even if he died a day or two earlier. Since the country cannot be without a king for a day, even if Empress Meng gave birth to a son, she will never succeed to the throne. In that case, Zhao Xu would definitely kill Ouyang Shu to vent his anger!

Ouyang Shu had no choice but to grit his teeth and say: Your Majesty, according to Weichen, he will definitely be able to see the little prince's young dragon with his own eyes.

Zhao Xu finally smiled and said: Then borrow Aiqing's auspicious words. After a pause, he said again: Aiqing, don't feel wronged, in this world, there will always be opportunities and dangers. You are the only courtier in the Manchu court who knows of my son's existence, and you will be looking after my son's health for the next few months. When my son grows up and becomes a human being, he will hear about Aiqing's merits, and he will regard you as his first minister, how can he not be gracious to all of you? At that time, not to mention yourself, your children and grandchildren will not have to worry about the wealth and glory of several generations.

Moreover, I have no choice now, and I intend to make you my son's confidant. As long as you can lift him to the throne with me, as long as you can do this, today's chapter is tomorrow's Ouyang Shu.

Ouyang Shu thought to himself: If my son really becomes the emperor, how can I stay in the court every day and bow down to him? Even if he is kind to me again, I can only drift away!
