Qingdi sneered and said: "If you really think that your two sons want to marry me, believe it or not, your sons will kill each other, and in the end, all of your Wu royal family will die in the infighting, and the Wu Kingdom will be ruined by your wrong decisions?" ”

Qingdi's tone was cold, and the emperor was angry at what she said, slammed the table and stood up, pointed at Qingdi and said, "Presumptuous!" How dare you talk to me like that! ”

Qingdi is a kitten when she is docile, and when she wants to be good to anyone, she won't get angry about who treats her. But once she touches the boundaries that she can't accept, Qingdi will turn her face and deny people. Now that she is facing the angry emperor, she has no turmoil in her heart, she looks at him with a smile and says, "Your Majesty, you are sick and confused, but I am not confused. You won't live long, and if I want to follow your wishes, pretend to promise you, and I'll turn my face when you're dead, there's nothing wrong with that. But I'm a more down-to-earth person, I can say whatever I want, and it's all at this time, you should also listen to the truth, otherwise you won't have a chance to listen. ”

The emperor was annoyed and angry, opened his mouth, and before he could think of what to say, he suddenly felt his blood surge, his eyes were dark, and he suddenly fainted.

Qingdi watched him fall to the ground, looked around, and no one followed him at all. When Xiaohu brought her over just now, Xiaohu withdrew everyone here, and the emperor and queen quietly came over to eavesdrop on them just now, and it is estimated that they didn't bring anyone here, so Qingdi dared to talk to the emperor just now.

Qingdi saw that the emperor had indeed fainted, so he went over to test his nose and pulse, the emperor was not dead, but the pulse was already very weak, and it was estimated that this time it was really in danger.

Qingdi went to call people in a panic, and then the imperial doctor and the guards rushed over and sent the emperor back to the palace, and all the imperial doctors hurried to see the emperor together, and they were busy until the next morning, and the emperor showed no signs of improvement.

Seeing that the time of the last dynasty was coming, the second prince was anxious and asked the queen: "Queen Mother, you have to go and tell the ministers that my father is sick, is it still not appropriate to go to court early today?" ”

The queen sat beside the emperor and said nothing, she didn't know what to do now, she said that she was sick for a while, and she couldn't say it for long. And under normal circumstances, the prince should come forward to preside over the overall situation at this time, but now the prince is ...... She really didn't know what to do.

Qingdi obviously thought of going with her, and stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, I don't know if I can say a suggestion?" ”

The queen turned her head slightly, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Say it." ”

"The crown prince is dead, Your Majesty is critically ill, this situation can't be hidden for a long time, I have to give an explanation to the ministers." Qingdi spoke, looked at the second prince and the third prince, and then turned to look at the queen, and said: "Please choose one of the second prince and the third prince to become the new prince, don't delay any longer, otherwise this loophole will get bigger and bigger!" ”

The queen now feels that she can't continue to hide it, but between the second prince and the third prince, who is suitable to be the new emperor?

She couldn't make a choice, so she asked Qingdi: "Which of the two emperors do you think is more suitable?" ”

When the two princes heard this, they all straightened up and looked at Qingdi, in their opinion, Qingdi's choice at this moment is not only about their rights and status in the future, but also about the appreciation of this smart woman for them. Both of them want to know who is more powerful in Qingdi's heart.

Qingdi is measured, she hurriedly lowered her head, and said: "Niangniang, this kind of thing shouldn't ask me, I can only give you advice in a small way, this kind of big decision-making, still have to be Niangniang and yourself." ”

The queen shook her head and said, "Don't get in the way, I just want to hear your opinion, you can say it." ”

Xiaohu, who had been crying for a long time, also stepped forward to speak, and said: "Cousin, just say it, these days after getting along, we have all found that you are a very smart person, we are now like headless flies, you can still stay calm compared to us, so your views must be reasonable." ”

Qingdi looked at Xiaohu helplessly, and saw that he really couldn't get rid of it, so he looked at the second prince and the third prince.

The second prince has a strong body and a resolute face, which should be due to his frequent martial arts, and his personality is also suitable for his body shape, decisive and resolute, but slightly impulsive. The third prince is more delicate, he should be biased towards Xi Wen, he thinks about things carefully and rigorously, but he is indecisive. Even if these two have shortcomings, they are still dragons among people, and they are definitely stronger than people of the same age, but they have not yet reached the point where they can be emperors, and in terms of strategy, they may not be as good as Yin Sheng, who is seven or eight years old. If the prince is still alive, there should be no problem if these two people can help the prince together in the future, but the key now is that the prince is dead.

It was also difficult for her to do it at the moment, she thought about it, and had to say: "Queen Mother, speaking of which, I have known the two princes, and it hasn't been long since I know them, I don't know much about them, I really don't know who is more suitable......"

The queen did not answer, but looked at her silently. She was circling in her mind what the emperor told her last night, and the emperor said that this woman has the talent to do great things, and if she can stay in the country of Wu and stay with the emperor in the future, she will definitely be able to govern the country well. So now Qingdi appreciates whoever is more inclined to the throne.

After a long time, Qingdi really couldn't stand it, so he had to say: "I think the third prince is more suitable, the third prince is more calm and calm, and under the current chaos, it should be able to deal with it calmly." ”

The queen nodded and said, "I also think that San'er is calmer." San'er, it's not too early, you pack up, go to court in the name of the prince, tell the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs about your father and brother's situation, and ask for their understanding and support. ”

The third prince glanced at Qingdi deeply, turned around again, solemnly knelt down in front of the emperor's bed, and said, "Father, the son has gone." ”

And when he had said that, he went up to the court. He felt the gaze of the second prince on him, but he didn't look at the second prince from beginning to end.

Qingdi also felt that this matter was too embarrassing, she didn't expect that she would really decide the queen's choice with one sentence, and she felt very guilty about the second prince in her heart.

She hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, I can't help here, I'll retire first." ”

The queen nodded, she didn't know that Qingdi was the culprit who caused the emperor to fall into a coma again, so she only said: "You are also tired from accompanying us all night, go and rest." ”

Qingdi thanked the queen and went down.

When he got outside, Qingdi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes and saw Chu Yaocen and Zhang Xiuhe standing not far away, so he walked over and asked them, "Why are you here?" Why don't you go in and see what's going on? ”

Qingdi's words are mainly said to Zhang Xiuhe, now most people don't know Chu Yaocen's true identity, as far as they are concerned, Chu Yaocen is just a doctor who followed her into the palace, and he is not qualified to surround the emperor at this time, but Zhang Xiuhe is an orthodox royal bloodline, and it is still necessary to go in and show his loyalty and filial piety at this moment.

Zhang Xiuhe sighed and said helplessly: "Forget it, I guess the last person the emperor wants to see now is me." ”

Qingdi only nodded after hearing this, although the royal family now accepts him, they must still think that Zhang Xiuhe is the culprit who indirectly caused the death of the crown prince.

"Just now I saw the third prince come out in a hurry, what's wrong with him? Are you going to the court? Chu Yaocen asked.

Qingdi nodded, sighed and said, "It is estimated that the second prince is going to find me trouble, because it was actually me who ...... just now."

"The second prince is here." Before she finished her words, Zhang Xiuhe looked at Qingdi's back and reminded her, and Qingdi quickly stopped talking.

The second prince walked over to them, the expression on his face was normal, he didn't agree to Zhang Xiuhe to enter the palace at first, and he always hated Zhang Xiuhe in his heart, and now he didn't talk to Zhang Xiuhe It's very polite, he didn't see this person, and said directly to Qingdi: "Cousin, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Qingdi glanced at Chu Yaocen, and saw that there was no wave in Chu Yaocen's eyes, but he only glanced at him slightly, and then looked away, presumably Chu Yaocen did not put him in his eyes. Qingdi also nodded and left with the second prince.

The second prince didn't say a word at first, Qingdi followed him for a long distance, and it wasn't until he couldn't see Chu Yaocen and Zhang Xiuhe when he turned back that he stopped and asked Qingdi, "Why?" ”

Qingdi understood that what he was asking was why he chose the Third Prince and not him.

"The reason is what I just said, I think the third prince is more calm and calm. Now at this time, Wu Guo can no longer stand the slightest turmoil, so he needs someone like the third prince to preside over the overall situation. Qingdi avoided his gaze and replied.

The second prince smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you don't know much about us?" How do you know that the third prince is calm and calm? ”

"I see it from some of your performances......"

"Can some performance tell us who we are? So I just saw your colleague talking to two men, can I say that you are the kind of woman who is watery poplar? The second prince said in a cold tone.

Qingdi raised his head suddenly, and said abruptly: "Second prince, I know that you must be blaming me in your heart now why I didn't choose you just now, and I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I hope you will return to one yard and don't talk about other irrelevant things." Just now, the queen mother clearly said that she only asked my opinion, and it is not in the way if she is wrong, if you think I am wrong, you can refute me. Why didn't you refute me when you were in front of the queen just now, and now you want to take me to this no-man's land to find my trouble? Is this what a man should do? ”

The second prince was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled bitterly, he shook his head and said: "It's useless, the queen mother is not a completely unassertive person, she made such a decision, naturally not all because of you." I'm just not reconciled...... Why did you choose him? ”
