"Hahaha, okay, the two princes are worthy of being the pillars of our Duanmu country, so since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invited Empress Yulan over, can you put down irrelevant things and treat Your Majesty first?"

Zuo Xiang looked around at the ministers present, and smiled loudly, the implication is that the future princess candidates said by the second prince are all irrelevant.

"That's natural, if it weren't for Qinghe's hearsay that there were assassins, and he sent so many soldiers to surround the palace, Gu would have let Empress Youlan heal his father a long time ago!"

When Duanmu Qingyun heard Zuo Xiang's words, he immediately taunted Duanmu Qinghe, not only telling the assassin as hearsay, but also pushing the delay in healing the old emperor onto him.

When Gu Youlan heard this, she sneered in her heart: "Hehe, it seems that the person I chose is quite smart, and it is not in vain that I put all the bets on him!" ”

"Brother Huang, if you hadn't started faster than me, how could Empress Yulan become your guest?" Duanmu Qinghe flicked his sleeves unconvinced, and then stood aside helplessly.

vacated the place and said the empty field, and everyone present once again cast their eyes on Gu Youlan's body, full of expectations that she would save the old emperor, and the mood was beyond words.

However, Gu Youlan coldly glanced at Duanmu Qinghe, who was poor in donkey skills, and snorted disdainfully in her heart: "If you want to talk about doing it quickly, Duanmu Qinghe, you are earlier than His Royal Highness the Prince, but you shouldn't have moved!" ”

After thinking about it, he clapped his hands, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "I have already seen it just now, this one lying on the dragon couch has been poisoned into the heart and lungs, even if I am the reincarnation of the Da Luo Immortal, I have no power to return to the sky!" After the words fell, he silently stepped aside and became a spectator.

As soon as Gu Youlan's words came out, Duanmu Qingyun, Duanmu Qinghe, and all the officials were shocked for a moment.

"Empress Yulan, you are a fifth-grade high-level alchemist, if even you can't cure your father, then your father ......" Duanmu Qinghe's eyes widened with incredulity, but from the corner of his mouth, a smile appeared, but there was a little smugness.

Duanmu Qingyun didn't speak, but recalled in his heart what Gu Youlan said when he first met the old emperor, ["Alas, this person's time is running out, even if he wakes up later, I'm afraid he will return to the light! ”】

The more I thought about it, the closer I felt to the truth, no wonder the Great Elder of the East repeatedly asked me to determine if this person was my father...... It seems that the person who has been lying on the bed is not him, but where has the real father gone?

After thinking about it uneasily, he turned his head to look at Gu Youlan, who had nothing to do with him, and the suspicion in his heart and another bold guess instantly made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Water, water", just as everyone had their own thoughts, the old emperor on the dragon couch suddenly made a slight sound.

"Father, Father, are you awake?" Duanmu Qinghe was closest to the dragon couch at this time, only to see him rush to the side of the bed and kneel on the ground, asking nervously. Zuo Xiang and other ministers also quickly ran to the dragon couch, and knelt on the ground on their knees, their faces full of sorrow.

"Water, two, emperor, water", the old emperor opened his sunken eyes and gasped faintly.

"Water, my father wants to drink water, hurry up and bring water!" At this moment, Duanmu Qinghe performed the role of a great filial son to the fullest, shouting loudly, while helping the old emperor up and leaning on his chest.

A glass of water was soon served, and Duanmu Qinghe carefully fed the emperor, and the corner of his eyes did not forget to smugly glance at Duanmu Qingyun, who was still stunned on the side.

The old emperor drank a few sips with difficulty, but most of the water still flowed down the corners of his mouth to Duanmu Qinghe's clothes, although Duanmu Qinghe was still full of concern, but the corners of his eyes subconsciously flashed a little disgust.

Handing the cup to a minister, Duanmu Qinghe asked eagerly, "Father, are you better?" Qinghe is worried about you! ”

"Ahem," the old emperor coughed breathlessly, as if knowing that his fate was near, and said weakly while pointing at Duanmu Qinghe with trembling hands.

"Spread it, pass it on, say it, cough cough...... Wait for me to return to the sky, Duanmu, Qinghe, follow, follow"

Seeing that the old emperor only had air out and no air intake, but what he had to say was not finished, Duanmu Qinghe was sweating profusely, and he shook the old emperor vigorously while shouting loudly: "Father, say it quickly, what do you let your son follow?" Is it the inheritance of the unification? ”

The old emperor stared at the protruding eyeballs, opened his mouth wide, and was just about to nod his head and try to say something, when suddenly a "click" sound came.

With this voice, the dragon couch in the dormitory actually moved slowly, and the officials immediately held their breath and stared at this incredible scene with wide eyes.

And Duanmu Qinghe, who was sitting on the bed, was even more shocked and shocked, as if he had forgotten the old emperor who was still lying in his arms, and stood up with "Teng", and quickly turned around to look at this sudden scene.

After a while, the dragon couch was not moving, and a secret door appeared in the original place of the dragon couch, with a creak, the secret door was pushed open from the inside, and another old emperor in a dragon robe stroked a three-inch long beard, and walked out with a bright face.

"Tian~~", looking at this red-faced old emperor, where is the sickly color? The ministers present were immediately stunned and dizzy, and they forgot the etiquette they should have as courtiers.

"What? Were you surprised to see me? The old emperor who came out of the secret door looked displeased, but from the corners of his eyes with laugh lines, he could not hide the thick calculation that had been weathered for a long time.

"Ah, it's really Your Majesty, it's really Your Majesty, the ministers see Your Majesty!" The ministers who quickly recovered their minds immediately slammed their heads on the ground with joy on their faces, although they still couldn't believe the facts in front of them, but it was certain that the person in front of them was the real His Majesty today.

Although Duanmu Qingyun was also shocked, with Gu Youlan's hint and reminder before, he also reacted quickly, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with the ministers: "Son, see your father!" ”

Duanmu Qinghe looked at the old emperor on the bed in a panic, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Youlan, who was still watching the play, and suddenly shouted as if he had lost his mind: "Bold, you, who are you?" Say! Are you Duanmu Qingyun looking for someone to impersonate? ”

"Huh", Duanmu Qinghe's voice not only startled the ministers present, but also scared Gu Youlan, who was watching the play.

"This Duanmu Qinghe is too smart, right? Don't you know your own emperor father? Hehe, but it's no wonder that no matter how smart he is, he can't fight this treacherous and cunning old emperor? It's none of your business, let's continue to watch the show! ”

After gloating, he thought about it, and then slowly walked to the chair next to Yan and sat down, picked up another blue and white porcelain cup, and drank tea leisurely.

When the old emperor heard his second emperor's words, he glanced at Gu Youlan, not only did he not immediately get angry, but instead pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Qinghe, why do you say that I am Qingyun looking for someone to pretend?" ”

Duanmu Qinghe pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "Finding someone to impersonate is Duanmu Qingyun's usual trick, he thinks he can deceive everyone, but he can't escape the eyes of this king!" ”

"Oh?" The old emperor raised his eyebrows meaningfully, and glanced at Duanmu Qingyun, who was still kneeling on the ground: "You mean, Qingyun is still looking for someone to pretend to be someone else?" ”

Flicking his sleeves, Duanmu Qinghe straightened up: "I don't care if you are the emperor or not, but he is looking for someone to pretend to be himself, in order to achieve the golden cicada shelling, the purpose of the fish eyes is that I and the ministers can see it with my own eyes!" ”

"Oh......" When the old emperor heard this, he continued to ask with more interest: "Then what kind of purpose does he want to achieve when he finds someone to pretend to be himself?" ”

With the old emperor's accountability, the ministers present also turned their heads to Duanmu Qinghe, who was holding his head high and looking imminent.

"Regarding this matter, the left and right ministers and all the ministers present can testify for this king, and there is a person exactly like him at the gate of the palace, but when we entered the dormitory, the real one was sitting on the dragon couch of his father, and he was about to assassinate him!"

The ministers originally heard the first half of Duanmu Qinghe's words, and they all nodded in agreement, but when they heard the second half of the sentence, they immediately shook their heads in a panic.

"Your Majesty, the ministers saw a person exactly like the crown prince at the palace gate who was detained by the second prince's men, but when we came here, we didn't see that His Royal Highness the prince wanted to assassinate him!"

Zuo Xiang's seemingly casual explanation immediately pushed Duanmu Qinghe, who had just cleared himself, to the cusp.

Gu Youlan, who was drinking tea, laughed when she heard Zuo Xiang's words, although she didn't say anything, but this laughter attracted everyone's attention.

"Empress Yulan, is it wrong to say this?" Zuo Xiang asked Gu Youlan with a blank face.

Gu Youlan wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and shook her head with a smile: "Lord Zuo Xiang's eyes are like torches, how can he be wrong?" Let's not talk about why the second prince detained the prince for no reason, but just now he called the one on the dragon couch with a mouthful...... And now that the real emperor has come out, he said that the prince was looking for someone to pretend to be, who is the bastard...... I don't know! ”

"Hundred miles of you, you, you don't want to talk nonsense!" Duanmu Qinghe saw that Gu Youlan actually helped Duanmu Qingyun speak, and instantly roared with cracking teeth: "Don't forget, you are now the king's person, what good will it do you if I fail?" ”

It's good that Duanmu Qinghe doesn't say the latter sentence, but how can he take it back when the words have come out of his mouth? Although he also knew that he had slipped out of his mouth in a hurry, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't care about it so much.
