"He's really boring enough, I just threatened him, he deliberately made it bad, it seems that this second son still has some thoughts."

"Uh-huh, that's it, so the crown princess still doesn't trust him completely."

Qiao He's impression of the two sons became bad because of what happened just now.

After tossing for a day, when Shen Xianhe returned to the East Palace with Qiao He and No. 1, it was already midnight.

Su Nianjun didn't see Shen Xianhe after he came back, but he saw her on the note, so after he finished grooming, he dealt with some things in the study, and then waited for Shen Xianhe to come back.

After Shen Xianhe returned to the East Palace, after finishing his freshening up under the service of the palace maid, he asked about Su Nianjun's whereabouts.

"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned?"

"Back to the crown princess, His Royal Highness the crown prince has already returned, and he is handling political affairs in the study at this time."

The palace maid replied while combing Shen Xianhe's hair.

"Oh, really? Then you don't need to comb it, just let it do it naturally, go and let the kitchen prepare some food, and the palace will send it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Soon, Shen Xianhe came to Su Nianjun's study with the pastries prepared by the palace maid.

"Knock Knock"

Shen Xianhe knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Su Nianjun asked when he heard this voice.

"It's me."

Shen Xianhe replied.

"Come in."

After getting permission, Shen Xianhe pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered, he saw Su Nianjun sitting behind the desk with a tired face, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"What is this?"

Seeing the things in Shen Xianhe's hand, Su Nianjun asked.

Shen Xianhe put the food box in his hand on Su Nianjun's desk, and took out the pastries inside and placed them in front of him.

"I heard the palace maid say that you didn't eat at night, thinking that you should be waiting for me to come along, but I have already used it outside the palace, so tonight, you can only use these."

Su Nianjun hugged Shen Xianhe in his arms, stroked Shen Xianhe's face with his own face, and said lazily.

"The old emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and the dinner I have at his place today is accompanied by the prime minister and other adults."

Hearing this, Shen Xianhe got up from Su Nianjun's arms, looked at him in surprise and asked.

"Is the old emperor dying?"

"Well, because of the poisoning before, his body has long been hollowed out, although he was rescued, but he is already a strong crossbow bow, he can survive these days, all because the medicine is hanging, but it can't last long, these days have begun to fall asleep, and there are few waking moments, so, it's almost these days."

"Then Su Yuanheng must be very sad."

The emperor's health is not good, and the saddest person belongs to Su Yuanheng.

"Well, he has been by the old emperor's side for the past few days, eating and drinking by the bedside, and in just a few days, he has lost a lot of weight and is a lot haggard."

Su Nianjun's voice was a little low.

"This kind of thing is not easy to comfort him, he can only rely on himself to support himself, by the way, today I heard an interesting story about you in Fengyue Tower."

Hearing Shen Xianhe mention Fengyue Tower, Su Nianjun's face was slightly red, and his expression was extremely unnatural.

"You've heard?"

"Well, today I went to see the second son of Dongping Wangfu in Fengyue Tower, so I heard about it."

Because the topics were relatively low before, Shen Xianhe originally had the intention of making fun of Su Nianjun, but he was no longer in the mood at this time, so he had to speak calmly.

"At that time, I was young and ignorant, and because I had been in the palace for a long time, when I was outside the palace before, I didn't know those things, and I didn't know these things, so something ridiculous happened, and it was also because I went to Fengyue Tower for the first time, and I didn't know their recipes, but this was just a small thing, I didn't take it to heart, but the people liked to spread it mysteriously, so this matter became an open secret in Fengyue Tower."

Looking at Su Nianjun's tired expression, Shen Xianhe got up and walked around behind him in his surprised look, and thoughtfully rubbed his head for him.

"These days, I look very tired of looking at you, I can't help you with anything on the surface, this is what I learned from the local people when I was in the south before, I see that those women helped them after they came back from a tired day, and I will try it for you today."

"Well, I hope you will learn more about how to get along with husband and wife."

Su Nianjun relaxed wholeheartedly and asked Shen Xianhe to press for him.

The days passed quickly, and the battle between Shen Xianhe and the prince of Dongping had entered a white-hot state, and a two-legged situation had been formed, and Shen Xianhe had successfully recovered a lot of henchmen after the second son went to the military camp as he wished.

The queen and the prime minister still did not give up, and when Su Nianjun and the prince of Dongping were fighting, they took the opportunity to attract a lot of forces, and Shen Xianhe also won over the queen and told her that the purpose of her cooperation with the second prince was to elect Su Yuanheng to the throne.

At the moment when all the situations affected the whole body, the old emperor finally passed away in everyone's expectation and reluctance.

Except for Su Yuanheng, who was the most sad, the rest of the people, including the queen and others, all looked like normal, and they would not feel sad and sad because the old emperor left.

The funeral of the old emperor was very spectacular, and the people of the entire Beiqiang Kingdom knelt down along the street, of course, because it was a national funeral, so all marriage and entertainment were prohibited.

Su Nianjun even set an example by postponing the enthronement ceremony, and the enthronement ceremony will be carried out only after three months of filial piety for the emperor.

And because of the death of the former emperor, the tension between Su Nianjun and the prince of Dongping has temporarily maintained the harmony on the surface, but the undercurrent is still turbulent.

Taking advantage of this time, with the intentional help of the queen and Shen Xianhe, the second son's power in the army became stronger and stronger, and he faintly began to surpass the trend of the prince of Dongping, and because the second son's hidden strength was not revealed.

In addition, the attention of the prince of Dongping was on Su Nianjun, so he gave the second prince time to grow, the first emperor died, the battle between Su Nianjun and the prince of Dongping stopped temporarily, and the prince of Dongping finally noticed that something was wrong with the second son, and when he wanted to get rid of the second son, he had no way to control him.

After the second prince went to the army, under the condition that Shen Xianhe paved the way for him, coupled with Shen Xianhe's continuous investment of silver, the army of the prince of Dongping began to fall apart from the previous airtight under this corrosion.

Although the military power is still in the hands of the prince of Dongping, most of the military heart is already in the hands of the second son.

On this day, the second prince still returned to the Dongping palace to visit the princess of Dongping, and after accompanying the princess of Dongping to have lunch and talk for a while, the prince of Dongping sent someone to invite him to the study to talk.

In Princess Dongping's worried look, the second prince smiled at her comfortingly, and then followed the subordinate who came to invite him to the study of the prince of Dongping.

As soon as he entered the door, he still looked like usual, respectfully saluting the prince of Dongping.

"Father, do you have something to do with me?"

Dongping turned to look at the son in front of him who had never taken it to heart, and said with a complicated expression.

"Have you seen your mother?"

"Back to my father, I have already seen it, my mother is getting better and better day by day, and my son is very happy in my heart."

Prince Dongping nodded.

"That's good, you have always been the most filial, with you accompanying your mother in the capital, her body will recover faster."

"The father praised falsely, and the son just did his duty."

The second son, who was full of vigilance, listened to the prince of Dongping talk about these ordinary words, and his heart was faintly nervous, although he had made all preparations before coming, but when facing the prince of Dongping, he was still a little inexplicably weak.

"Really? Do your part, then you tell me? What is your duty? This king let you stay in the army in Shangjing for the sake of your filial piety, but what have you done? In the king's army, he formed a party for personal gain, and did something that was harmful to others and not to himself for the sake of his own selfish desires? Is this your duty? ”

Seeing that the prince of Dongping finally made a move, the second prince breathed a sigh of relief, compared to the gentle and non-seizure appearance of the prince of Dongping, the second prince preferred him to have such a seizure.

"Father, the son did not form a party for personal gain, those soldiers are all old men who have followed the father for many years, the son is because he admires them, so he is closer to them, if the father does not like the son to be close to them, then the son will stay away, and will not make the father unhappy."

Seeing that the second son was still so stubborn, the prince of Dongping was furious for a while, grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at the second son, looking at the inkstone that was getting closer, the second son did not dodge.

Instead, he watched those inkstones smash on his head, and the blood slowly crossed his eyes and flowed on his face, he was indifferent, and he was still the same as before.

"You still want to quibble? Still not telling the truth? Those are the henchmen of this king, who have been fighting with this king in the south and north for so many years, born and died, do you think that they will really help you overthrow this king with your tricks? Isn't that naïve? This king tells you that the person who wants to overthrow this king has not yet been born, and you can't, so until now you have not repented? ”

Hearing this, the second prince sneered twice, raised his bloodstained face and looked at the prince of Dongping.

"Father, do you keep saying that it is for the good of your son? But are you really good for your son or for your own selfishness? ”
