"But Yun Qian has already said that the emperor does not need her to stay in this situation, and the imperial doctor can also be summoned if there is an emergency." Li Zhishen retorted, his eyes were a little sharp, "Or is the queen mother so unwilling to see the imperial doctor in the palace?" Think they can't handle it? ”

"That's not what I mean, of course." The queen hurriedly retorted.

"Then there is no need to leave people behind, Yun Qian is just here to help diagnose and treat, not the exclusive imperial doctor of the father, if the queen insists on leaving people, it will be too difficult for a strong person."

"What does it mean to be a strong man?" The queen frowned, looking very unhappy, and said: "The palace just let her live in the palace, and the food and clothing treatment are the best, and she is not treated badly." ”

"But if you forcibly leave someone behind, she will not be able to help deal with the affairs of the family, and her freedom will be restricted, which is not difficult for a strong person!" Li Zhishen said in a sharp tone, looking like he wanted to maintain Mu Yunqian to the end, and he was not afraid of the identity of the person in front of him.

"That's it, this palace can't talk about you." The queen wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say, so she finally had to give up: "Since you don't want to stay, then forget it." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Mu Yunqian slowly saluted and spoke.

The other party relieved himself, and Mu Yunqian didn't stay long, and quickly left the palace.

During these days, Li Zhishen not only spent a lot of thought on currying favor with Mu Yunqian, but also went-for-tat with Li Changfeng in the court, and both sides did not back down when there was a dispute, and even did not hide too much in front of the emperor.

……

Inside the Royal Palace.

Since that sudden illness, although there are drugs and Mu Yunqian's acupuncture method to delay the deterioration of his condition, the effect is not great, and his body has not improved, but is still slowly weakening.

On this day, Mu Yunqian came to give him an acupuncture as usual, and checked his pulse before acupuncture.

Feeling the weaker and weaker pulse of the person in front of him, Mu Yunqian couldn't help but sigh for him, the emperor's body, I'm afraid it really won't last long.

Her acupuncture can still come in handy now, but after that, it may not be said, and how long she can live depends on the emperor's own creation.

No one knows better than the emperor himself about his condition and health, and he seems to know in his heart that he is terminally ill and will die soon.

"Your Majesty, it's time to start administering needles." Mu Yunqian withdrew his hand to take his pulse and said softly.

The emperor nodded slightly tiredly, then raised his eyes to look at the guards and eunuchs in the main hall, and waved his hand lightly: "You all go out, I have something to say to the Mu family." ”

"Yes." A group of guards answered the call and respectfully withdrew, locking the door as well.

"I don't know what the emperor wants to say?" Mu Yunqian asked while carefully reaching out to turn him over, but there was not much curiosity in his tone.

She didn't want to know anything about the royal family.

It's just that the other party wants to say it, and she can't stop it.

"I'm afraid I won't live long, right?" The Emperor asked weakly, because he was not in good health, and he did not speak very loudly.

Fortunately, the hall was very quiet, and Mu Yunqian heard his words clearly, but he didn't answer, just silent.

After all, this kind of thing is not something that can be said nonsense, if she boasts that the emperor's illness can be cured, but in the end she has done nothing, I am afraid that she will be convicted of bullying the king. Butterfly

But if you tell the truth, then it will be a big rebellion.

So this kind of question is wrong no matter how you say it, silence is enough.

Although he didn't hear an answer, Mu Yunqian's reaction already said it all.

The emperor sighed lightly and said: "Actually, I myself know that this time I really want to abdicate and make way for Xian, but counting the three of them, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, I always feel that no matter who is handed over to in the country, I can't rest assured." ”

Mu Yunqian listened quietly, stretched out his hand to apply the needle, and did not speak.

"The third child is the most ambitious of the three, but it is precisely because the ambition is too strong that I dare not hand over the country to him, otherwise I will not be there in the future, lest there will be war."

The emperor didn't care whether she responded or not, and opened his mouth to himself.

"The fifth child has been fighting with him in the court, and the two of them are on par, but unfortunately the prestige of the fifth child has become more and more inferior to the third child recently, I am afraid that it is because of the influence of the old nine."

Hearing this, Mu Yun's light eyes changed slightly, and she was "influenced" by Li Changfeng, what this "influence" was, she naturally knew best in her heart.

But Mu Yunqian didn't speak, his face quickly returned to normal, and he continued to move his hands.

"As for Lao Jiu, he is only afraid that he is the most unintentional and powerful of the three, and he has been doing his best to assist Lao Wu, but recently, he has become more and more distracted about the affairs of the court......"

Listening to the emperor mentioning Li Changfeng, it was false to say that there was no turmoil in his heart, but Mu Yunqian didn't show any reaction, just thinking that everything about the other party had nothing to do with him.

"Lao Jiu has that ability, but unfortunately he doesn't have that ambition, I'm afraid I'm not willing to take over this position, alas."

The emperor kept babbling, and he didn't really say which prince he preferred to succeed to the throne, but only talked about his views on his three sons, both good and bad.

Mu Yunqian didn't say anything all the time, and he didn't even respond much, he only looked forward to it in his heart, hoping that the emperor would just talk about it, don't ......

Before she could finish thinking about it, she heard the emperor suddenly ask, "What about you?" Mu girl, what do you think of the three of them? ”

Mu Yunqian's heart was suffocated, and she knew it......

What should come will always come.

After the emperor asked, he was afraid that she would not dare to speak, so he specially added, "You can tell me your opinion today, and I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

"Your Majesty, you asked the wrong person." Mu Yun said with a blank face, while the emperor was speaking, she had also finished acupuncture, and was taking back the silver needles one by one, "The courtiers don't know about this, and they don't want to understand." ”

The Mu family has always maintained neutrality and has not supported any political party, and the emperor probably wants to take this opportunity to test their Mu family's ideas.

"Courtiers just want to do business seriously and live quietly, they don't want to participate in matters related to the court, and they don't want to fall into the whirlpool of seizing the heir."

Mu Yun finished his thoughts in a shallow breath, put away the silver needles one by one, and then respectfully saluted him, "The emperor has a good rest, and the courtiers will retire." ”

"That's it," the emperor didn't get angry when he heard this, but just sighed lightly and waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

Mu Yunqian nodded, turned around and left.
