Emperor Xiao suddenly had a headache and fainted at night, and the imperial doctor restrained his hands until he calmed down, and he was busy with acupuncture and medicine for half a night, and Emperor Xiao woke up.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Empress Dowager Liu cried and forgot to sleep and eat, and when she saw Emperor Xiao wake up, she came in to see him with red and swollen eyes from crying.

When Emperor Xiao saw his mother, he also felt sad, and after calling the mother in a low voice, he was speechless.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at the calmness who was kneeling beside the bed and collecting the needles, sighed heavily, and was silent for a long time.

"Rest assured, the emperor is fine." calmly said goodbye, and comforted Empress Dowager Liu by the way.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at her with complicated eyes, opened her mouth a few times, but didn't speak, and waved her hand to let her out.

When she walked out of the hall, Fang said to Emperor Xiao: "Emperor, it seems that only she can cure your disease, if you don't keep her by your side, the mourning family is really not at ease." ”

"Queen Mother, she has always been by my side, there is nothing to worry about." Filial piety.

Empress Dowager Liu sighed: "Emperor, although you have a prince, but the reason for that prince is that the mourning family does not say, I think you also understand in your heart that you cannot inherit the unification."

It's not for your mother's heart to force you, do you know the candidate for succession? ”

"What does the queen mean?" Emperor Xiao smiled bitterly.

"Your cousin Jingxian just gave birth to a son, why don't you mourn the family and tell her now, what do you think of passing one to your name?" Empress Dowager Liu asked softly.

Liu Jingxian is the cousin of Emperor Xiao's uncle and the maiden niece of the Empress Dowager Liu, and it is clear that the Empress Dowager Liu wants her son to enter the palace.

Emperor Xiao licked his lips, hesitated for a while, and spoke: "Queen Mother, I still want my son to inherit the throne. ”

"Your own son? Don't you know that the child born to Wan Ling'er is not your bloodline at all? Empress Dowager Liu said with a sad face.

Emperor Xiao smiled bitterly: "I am still in good health now, and I will not die immediately, so I will have a son to inherit the head office of the Great Unification, right?" Didn't Ying'er just get pregnant? If I hadn't been victimized, I would have had my own flesh and blood. ”

Empress Dowager Liu's face froze, and she sighed: "Emperor, we are no better than ordinary people, if we don't determine the heir as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will provoke palace changes in the future, and when the time comes, I am sorry for the ancestors and ancestors of Great Xia." ”

"Queen Mother, the child already has an idea about this matter, and the edict of succession has already been prepared, and after receiving it in the Great Light Plaque, there will be no changes, just rest assured." Emperor Xiao said in a dumb voice.

Empress Dowager Liu was stunned: "Ready?" Who are you going to succeed to the throne? ”

"Queen Mother, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while." Emperor Xiao lay down, turned his body around, and ignored the Empress Dowager Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu sat silently for a while, and then had to get up and leave.

Returning to Renshou Palace, pondering for a long time, the commander of the command called him calmly.

Calmly Shi Li saw it, and stood aside with his head bowed.

"Calm down, in your opinion, the emperor may be cured of this disease? Are you sure you can get the steel needle out of his head? ”

Empress Dowager Liu pondered for a long time and asked slowly.

Shake your head calmly.

Empress Dowager Liu's face turned gloomy, her eyes flashed, she waved her hand to let all the people in the room retreat, and Fang said in a cold voice: "Calm down, you listen to the mourning family, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know about the matter between you and Sima Nan."

Although the truth of the emperor's assassination has been revealed, it is unknown whether the truth is the real truth.

Don't think that the mourning family's mother's family is now down, and they can't control you, although the hundred-legged insect is not stiff, you should not underestimate the ability of the mourning family. ”

"The slave doesn't dare, and the slave doesn't understand what the Queen Mother's words mean." Calmly knelt down and said indifferently.

"Go and tell Sima Nan, immediately persuade the emperor, and let him make the prince's youngest son the prince, otherwise, don't blame the mourning family for dying, although he can't annihilate him, he will have to survive ten or eight years of war, and when the time comes, the lives will be ruined, and the country will be destroyed, don't say that the mourning family didn't remind him in advance."

Empress Dowager Liu said coldly.

"Niangniang, this is a major event in the temple, the slave is a woman, I don't know, Niangniang still told the general in person." Calm down.

"Tell him? The mourning family will not tell him, the mourning family will only meet him in battle. Empress Dowager Liu sneered and took the case:

"Now that the survival of the country is at stake, don't go around in circles with me. The mourning family can also talk about it, and if it can't talk, it will be beaten, and they are not afraid of him, and they will not succumb to him. ”

Empress Dowager Liu said.

Calmly spread his hands, turned around and walked out: "Niangniang, if you really want to negotiate, it's better to find the general, tell me, it's useless." ”

Empress Dowager Liu didn't call her back and let her go out.

Calm but a little uneasy in her heart, if Empress Dowager Liu really wants to negotiate, just go directly to Sima Nan, why do you want to tell her? In the matter of establishing a prince, Sima Nan alone can not have the final say, and the final decision can only be made through the old ministers in the cabinet.

Empress Dowager Liu is such a shrewd person, wouldn't she not even know this bit of common sense?

Calmly paced back to the division's room, picked up the unfinished objects, and started to do it without a match, a drawer handle was not finished, Sima Nan pushed the door in, bluffing her.

"Why don't you mention it when you come in, it's scary and scared." Calm couldn't help but hate him.

"Did the Queen Mother tell you something that shouldn't be said?" Sima Nan asked her.

Nod calmly.

"She really has a heart, and in an instant, both inside and outside the harem knew that the emperor wanted to appoint the prince's youngest son as the prince." Sima Nan sighed.

"How is that possible! I didn't say anything! Calmly said.

"Whether you say it or not, the Queen Mother will let you carry this pot, only if you carry the pot, I will give in, if I admit that this is a rumor, then I have to deal with you, if you don't admit that this is a rumor, naturally I have to persuade the emperor to achieve the Queen Mother's wish.

She's an old fox, she's really cunning. ”

Sima Nan sat on the chair, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and poured it into his mouth.

"So what now?" Calmly asked.

She should have had a lot of ideas and shouldn't have asked him such questions.

But there have been too many things recently, and the development is too weird, it is really beyond her imagination, not to mention that with Sima Nan here, she suddenly felt that she had become a woman who knew nothing, and wanted to rely on him and count on him.

Sima Nan sighed: "You don't care about this matter, leave it to me, try to get out of the palace bureau during this time, if the emperor has something, I will send someone to find you." ”

"How do you solve it? persuade the emperor to appoint the son of the queen mother's niece as the prince? Or deal with me, the one who spreads rumors? Seeing that he refused to say anything, he was inexplicably a little irritated and asked impatiently.

"I won't give up the bloody wealth of my ancestors to my relatives, but I don't want to dispose of you. The emperor also seems to have no intention of letting his relatives interfere in the regime, he has already decided on the successor, as long as the Empress Dowager Liu is stabilized, after the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, everything will be in the clouds. ”

Calm and a little stunned, such an emperor is rare, he has no heirs, but he has already arranged for a successor, I don't know who he wants to give up this throne to.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother's favorite, a palace accident would be inevitable.

"Then be careful." Say it calmly and in a low voice.

"Calm down, do you miss your hometown? I have been there for business, and your hometown of Shanyang County has beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery. It's really memorable. ”

A smile appeared on Sima Nan's face, and he suddenly said these irrelevant words.

Calmly grinned. Shaking his head: "I don't have much impression of my hometown, I was too young when I was arrested, I only remember that there is an osmanthus tree at the door of my house, when the osmanthus blooms, I will go to the tree every day to pick up the falling osmanthus flowers, and pester my mother to boil osmanthus porridge to drink." ”

"Your mother's osmanthus porridge must be delicious." Sima Nan's face was a little hopeful.

"What about your family? I've never heard you mention your family. Calmly asked.

Sima Nan stretched out his hand and touched his chin: "For as long as I can remember, there has only been one mother, I died of illness when I was four years old, and since then I have been alone outside, picking up garbage and asking for food when I can't beat others."

When I was a freshman and could beat others, I began to rob passers-by with a group of wandering boys like me, and almost went up the mountain to become a bandit.

When he was eight years old, when he robbed the road, he met a strong man, and he was about to be killed, but he was rescued by the master, and since then he has begun to learn martial arts and literacy with the master, and he also met the emperor, so that it has been more than 20 years. ”

"I said how can you and the emperor have such a good relationship, it turns out that they have been together since childhood." Smiled calmly.

"Yes, how good it would be if you never knew each other, and even if you did, how good it would be if you never had a deep relationship." Sima Nan's face became sad.

Calm didn't understand what he meant.

"Calm down, I really hope that time flies quickly, and the matter here is resolved, and you can leave." Sima Nan suddenly said happily.

Calmly stunned.

"I won't be chased and killed, I can walk freely, enjoy the scenery along the road slowly, if you want to go back to your hometown, go back to your hometown, buy a small house, plant two osmanthus trees in front of the door, and when the osmanthus blooms, you will boil osmanthus porridge and drink 。。。。。。"

Sima Nan's voice was very gentle and beautiful, but when he listened calmly, he suddenly shivered.

According to the convention of TV dramas, when a person begins to dream of a better life, it is usually the beginning of suffering, or the end of life.

"Sima Nan, the ideal is always very plump, and the reality is skinny, what you imagine may not be realized, it's better to be pragmatic, according to your current status, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, he may not let you go, and when the time comes, I'm afraid you will only be busier than now." Calm poured a basin of cold water on his head.

When Sima Nan heard this, he showed a happy smile: "Calm down, the new emperor will not let me go, the new emperor will be a very competent and eloquent emperor, there is no need for me to get in the way, what I imagine now can really become a reality in a few months." ”

Calm flashed his eyes and bit his lip.

"You must not know who the emperor gave the throne to, if you know, you must be happier than me." Sima Nan smiled excitedly that he had never seen before, and said in a low voice.

Calmly staring at his face, his heart trembled, and he had a bad feeling.

In his ideals, there was no her.

She thought back to what he had just said, and it really wasn't her.
