Chapter 83: The Struggle for the Throne (3)

It was almost dawn, and Zhan Li and Su Ke talked about some things again, and Zhan Li and Yan Ziyue probably had some understanding of Xiaoyao's current situation.

After thinking for a while, he looked up at Su Ke with a worried face and said, "Mrs. Su, do you have a plan in your heart?"

"High Priest, I have a plan for dealing with it, but I can't do it all. Now it is urgent to fear that Marshal An will be killed in prison, and Concubine An and the two princes will not be able to be saved", Su Ke said this, the worry on his face became more solemn, as if he remembered something particularly painful and self-blaming, his whole face was distorted, and he continued after a while: "Two months ago, His Majesty the Emperor selected the teachers of the princes, and the old man recommended his protégé Xu Qian, but unfortunately he committed suicide more than half a month ago."

Su Ke paused for a while, sighed and said: "High priest, the old man never believes that Xu Qian will commit suicide, he has always had correspondence with the old man, and his last letter mentioned that he had discovered a conspiracy, and then...", Su Ke was already a little dumb as he spoke, trembling and took out a crumpled letter from his arms and handed it to Yan Li.

Yan Li took it and unfolded it, couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, was silent for a while, and saw that Su Ke was still immersed in guilt, he really couldn't bear to speak, but he still asked: "Does Mrs. Su want me to succeed him as the teacher of the princes?"

Su Ke looked up at Zhan Li suddenly, and said with a wry smile with some expectation: "Exactly."

"Mrs. Su, the prince's teacher wants to protect the two princes by teaching the princes, and it is not easy to find out the reason for Xu Qian's suicide."

"yes, so... Old man...", Su Ke looked at Zhan Li, a little sad and lost.

"Mrs. Su, there is more than one prince."

"Exactly, originally plus Xu Qian, there are four people together. Young Fu Fei Jie, this person is sleek and sophisticated, but by no means a treacherous and sinister person, the head of the Eagle Guard, Lan Jia, has a cold face and a warm heart, and has excellent martial arts, and is also the chief of the imperial guard of His Majesty the Emperor, Guo Pei, is a person of Zhong Taishi, the old man does not know much, but he is quite talented, can speak well, and has superb chess skills. ”

"Mrs. Su, with all due respect, don't talk about His Majesty the Emperor, how can others allow someone from an unknown source to serve as the prince's teacher?"

"High priest, don't worry, I have made arrangements, but this matter is too dangerous, let the high priest put himself in danger, old man...", Su Ke showed a helpless and sorry entanglement.

"Mrs. Su, I...", it was difficult to decide for a while.

"It's the old man who embarrassed the high priest, today His Majesty the Emperor has brought the concubines, the prince and the princess to live in the Qiong Garden, this Qiong Garden is connected to the Xiangguo Temple, is the largest royal garden in the Xiaoyao country, and decided to hold a blessing ceremony in the Xiangguo Temple on the eighth day of the eighth month of August after January, announcing the choice of the world's posterior."

Although Zhan Li had heard Qinghai talk about this matter, he still felt strange when he heard Su Ke say it now.

"High Priest, I have discussed with Master Ran, if you agree, Master Ran can recommend it to His Majesty the Emperor, Master Ran is a monk who has attained Taoism, His Majesty the Emperor respects him very much, if you are only a friend of Master Ran, you will not be burdened by me when you travel here, and you can act freely."

When he heard this, he thought that Su Ke really had good intentions, but this matter was not trivial, he was not an ordinary ordinary person, and he could not act willfully, not to mention that Yue'er came with him this time, everything needed to be considered again and again, and Yue'er could not be put in danger.

"Mrs. Su, I won't hide it, I didn't come alone, I must have told Su Yi."

"Oh... He said that he was the righteous son of the high priest."

"No, her true identity is the princess of Huofeng, the daughter of His Royal Highness King Kang Yan Moyu."

"Ah...", Su Ke was a little surprised, and exhaled: "I see, high priest, it is the old man who has considered it improper."

When Yan Ziyue heard this, she already had a plan in her heart, so she moved out, and left after saluting Su Ke.

"Yue'er, why did you come out"?

"Father, I have heard everything you say."

Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue and smiled: "I know...".

"Father-in-law, there are some things you don't know yet", Yan Ziyue said with a little weakness.

"What's the matter"? Yan Li had long felt that Yan Ziyue had something to hide, but Yan Ziyue didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask, and when he talked about it at this time, it can be seen that it must be related to the conversation just now, but Yue'er has been involved.

"Father-in-law, I have already seen the Nine Emperor Princes Xiao Yan and the Thirteen Emperor Princes Xiao Huang."

"What"? Yan Li stood up and looked at Yan Ziyue in some surprise.

"Not only that, but I also injured the third prince Xiaofu and the fifth prince Xiaocan", Yan Ziyue didn't dare to look at Yan Li after speaking, but lowered her head and said nothing.

As soon as Su Ke saw Yan Ziyue come out, he sighed that she was a free and easy princess, and after hearing a few words from Yan Ziyue, she was shocked, and she couldn't believe her ears, looking at Yan Ziyue for a long time and didn't know what to say, not to mention how she met the princes, but looking at such a handsome and delicate princess, how could she hurt the prince who had been practicing martial arts since childhood? ”

"Yue'er... You tell me everything you have told me before and after, and you must not hide anything", and there was obviously a bit of seriousness in his tone, and he slowly sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

Yan Ziyue saw the attitude of Yan Li, knowing that she was afraid that she was in trouble, and she was also a little nervous in her heart, so she talked about the encounter with Xiao Yan and Xiao Huang in detail, of course, some small details of the whole process without harm were hidden.

In the Summer Palace of Qiongyuan, Concubine Zhong and Concubine Li were stopped back after asking to see the Emperor for a long time outside the palace.

The emperor of the Xiaoyao country is now in the prime of life, he is decisive in his life, ruthless, killing his father and killing his brother to inherit the throne, but the succession logistics are in political affairs, everything must be bowed to himself, and the order is prohibited, which makes the Xiaoyao country develop rapidly and the national strength is flourishing.

In the Summer Palace, Xiao Ji was dressed in a yellow dragon robe, his face was like frost, and he looked majestically at the imperial doctors who knelt at their feet to consult the two princes.

"Imperial doctors, don't just say it's useless, Your Majesty wants to hear the truth, let's tell the truth", the chief eunuch and head of internal affairs, Li Xiang, personally served a cup of fragrant tea to Xiaoji and said: "Your Majesty, drink a cup of lotus seed lily tea and go to the summer."

Xiao Ji took the tea, took a sip, and glanced at the kneeling doctor.

The imperial doctors looked at each other, and their eyes fell on the chief imperial physician Shenyang.

Shen Yang knelt forward and said, "Your Majesty, the injuries of the two princes are not serious."

"Imperial Doctor Shen, why can't you understand this?" Manager Li glanced at Xiao Ji and opened his mouth to ask.

"Your Majesty, the third prince was sealed by someone who injected the silver needle acupoint with internal force to seal the throat sound and taste bud acupoint, so that he could not speak and distinguish the five flavors, but despite this, he did not hurt the root, if there is a master who is also proficient in acupuncture, he can pass the meridian and activate the blood, and return to normal. As for the injury of the fifth prince, it is to hurt the muscles and tendons, but the meridians are intact, and with a little time of training and massage techniques, it is expected to walk normally."

"Really"? Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and glanced at Imperial Doctor Shen, not angry but threatening, so that people did not dare to look directly.

Imperial Physician Shen didn't dare to raise his head, and nodded vigorously: "Weichen doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty."

"Can you cure it"?

Shen Yang's body trembled when he heard this, and he trembled and said: "Weichen is incompetent and can't be cured."

When Xiao Ji heard this, he was furious, and the teacup on the case was shattered, and he shouted: "A group of waste, what use do you want to be alone"?

Manager Li was wiping the tea on the case, moving the official document away, and when he heard the roar of Xiaoji, he felt a little weak, and stopped his movements, not knowing what to do for a while.

Shen Yang and the doctors were all frightened, lying on the ground and not daring to move, for fear that they would be moved by their heads if they were not careful.

The atmosphere was too depressing, and I felt like I was going to be burned to ashes by this thunderous anger, and after a while, Xiao Ji calmed down a little, and looked at the imperial doctors who surrendered to their feet like ants: "You all go down, find a way to heal the two princes, if the cure is not good, come and see you."

"Yes...", the imperial doctors kowtowed again and again, crawled up, and bowed out.

All the imperial doctors went out of the palace gate like frightened birds.

"Imperial Doctor Shen, what should I do?" A imperial doctor still asked Shen Yang with some trembling palpitations.

"Do your best", Shen Yang looked up at the gray sky and sighed.

"But... Even if we try our best, we may not be able to heal the prince well."

"Let us do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, Your Majesty does not have a time limit, we just think we have a few more days to live", Shen Yang said, and left first.

Seeing this situation, the other imperial doctors didn't dare to say more, and they all went back one after another.

In the Summer Palace, Mr. Li added a new cup of tea to Xiaoji.

"Check me, who hurt the prince"?

"It's... The slave family sent someone to investigate."

"Wait, didn't you say that there were other princes present at that time, Xuanlai, I want to ask."

"Your Majesty, it's already the second watch, if you don't know the next day, you haven't slept well for several nights", Manager Li said with concern.

"Hmm... Okay, then it's early tomorrow morning", Xiao Ji did feel a little tired.

Mr. Li helped Xiao Ji to go back to the palace to rest, personally lit incense, and only left the palace when Xiao Ji was asleep, and arranged for several princes to come in early the next morning.

In the small courtyard of Xiangguo Temple, after listening to Yan Ziyue's words, Yan Li's eyebrows were twisted, and he looked at Yan Ziyue with a complicated expression, and he couldn't bear to blame Yan Ziyue, so he had to blame himself deeply.

Su Ke on the side looked at Yan Ziyue dumbfounded, and sighed that in addition to the newborn calf not being afraid of tigers, Yan Ziyue was fortunate to be born in the Fire Phoenix Country.

Yan Ziyue knew that she had caused trouble, and she felt a little guilty, but more of it was a pair of soldiers who came to block it, and began to comfort Yan Li: "Father-in-law, it should be fine, they don't recognize me, as long as they can't find me, they shouldn't be able to do anything, right?"

Zhan Li smiled a little bitterly, sure enough, he taught her badly, but he did things with his heart, regardless of interests, it seemed that he would have to teach her what it meant to weigh and be willing in the future.

"Mrs. Su, in your opinion, what should be done about this matter"?

It took Su Ke a long time to react, looked at Yan Li and said, "High Priest, it's better if this matter hasn't happened."

Yan Ziyue heard it, what does it mean that it hasn't happened, is this okay?
