Listening to her tone, the emperor couldn't understand better, "It's about establishing a prince, right?" I'm not in a hurry, and these adults can't wait. Especially Li Gelao, he is about to return to his hometown, where is he willing to give up the position of prince for nothing. ”

"The emperor knows what Li Ge Lao is doing, and he still cares about what he does?"

Su Youyi said, tucking the quilt corner for him, "Just now I asked the chief manager to go out and tell them that the emperor drank medicine and was sleeping." Li Ge always had to wait, so as not to let people tell him that the emperor was awake, seeing that he had no chair to sit on and no tea to drink, how long could he wait. ”

The emperor couldn't help laughing, "You don't let people give tea or chairs, so bold?" Also, you have always been so bold, I have underestimated you. ”

The emperor shook his head, suddenly coughed, and Su Youyi hurriedly patted him on the back.

He coughed for a while before he stopped, "Elder Li Ge is used to being respected in the court, and he will definitely refuse, if he will make trouble in a while, how can I pretend to be asleep?" ”

"I have a way."

Su Youyi's eyes turned, and she was calm.

Gao Qishou went out to see Li Ge Lao and his party, and was accused by Li Ge Lao with his head and face, and he was helpless and aggrieved, "Master Ge, this, this ......"

Do you want to confess Su Youyi?

Confessing it shows that he Gao Qishou is too disloyal, and if he doesn't confess, he is afraid that Li Ge Lao will kill him.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a crisp sound behind him, and Su Youyi hugged him, "It's the palace that didn't let him entertain your lords, and you don't have to be harsh on the chief manager." ”

Gao Qishou seemed to see a life-saving straw, and hurriedly hid behind Su Youyi, Su Youyi put her hands in front of her, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Li Ge Lao with a dignified manner.

Li Ge was about to speak, but Su Youyi said first: "The epidemic is prevalent in Beijing, and the emperor is infected with diseases. Now that the epidemic has just been controlled, and the emperor's condition is still at a loss, what are you going to do when you come here at this moment? ”

She preemptively asked, so seriously, it made Li Ge a little difficult to answer.

He pondered for a moment and said: "It is precisely because of the emperor's illness that he is at a loss, in order to protect the Jiangshan Sheji, the old ministers and others have to come to ask the emperor to consider the Jiangshan Sheji and set up a prince. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be for the sake of the reserve."

Su Youyi nodded with a smile, and looked at Elder Zhou Ge and the others, "Then Elder Zhou Ge, are you also in the same mind as Elder Li Ge?" ”

"The old man and him are not in the same mind."

Zhou Ge Lao quickly retorted, although he and Li Ge Lao were both important cabinet ministers, they never had a thought, "I heard that Li Ge Lao came to advise the emperor to establish a prince, and I was worried that Li Ge Lao was about to tell the old man to return to his hometown that he would not say anything, and he would do something wrong when he saw that the emperor was sick. So I came to take a look, lest the emperor listen to the words of the family and listen to the words of the family during his illness, and decide the matter of establishing a prince at will. ”

Su Youyi curled the corners of her mouth slightly, "What, Elder Li Ge didn't come to persuade the emperor to set up a prince early, but he already had a candidate for the prince in his heart?" ”

Isn't that nonsense?

If there was no candidate for the prince he wanted to set up, how could a person like Li Ge Lao, who was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, rush to the palace?

Li Ge frowned, "Although the imperial concubine has a high position, after all, she is a harem lady. It is not appropriate to participate in the affairs of the prince, has the emperor ever woken up? If the emperor wakes up, we will go in and see the emperor again. ”

After saying that, he was about to go inside, but Duofu Duolu took a number of little eunuchs and immediately stopped Li Gelao.

"I'm afraid that I will have to grieve Li Ge Lao to wait a little longer, and the emperor hasn't woken up yet."

"Not awake yet?"

Elder Li Ge was furious, "I've been waiting here for an hour, how could the emperor not wake up yet?" Even if the emperor is sick and weak, he won't sleep so long in a nap, right? ”

"It's only been an hour."

Su Youyi understated, "After the emperor became ill, his body became weaker and weaker, and he slept for most of the day, which was helpless." As for your intentions, the palace already knows, in fact, there is no need for you to persuade you, this morning the emperor has mentioned the matter of establishing a prince to the palace. ”

The emperor already has an idea?

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers immediately became energetic, and even Ji Yushen stared at Su Youyi firmly.

Elder Li Ge hesitated for a moment, "Who does the emperor plan to appoint as the prince?" ”

Su Youyi was-for-tat, "Who does Elder Li Ge plan to appoint as the prince?" ”

"I ......"

Elder Li Ge was almost angry.

Su Youyi is obviously an imperial concubine, she doesn't know how to communicate with powerful people at all, and she always speaks so directly and angrily.

Zhou Ge Lao and the others were very happy to watch from the sidelines.

Li Ge Lao rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "The imperial concubine is laughing, who is appointed as the prince is naturally the emperor's final say, why did the imperial concubine ask about the old man?" ”

"Isn't that the end of it?"

Su Youyi looked at everyone with a smile, "You are just worried that the emperor has a case, and there is no successor to the country, but the emperor has long been thinking about the establishment of the prince, you can rest assured." Even if you are not in the palace, the emperor has also said that in case he will write a secret edict and hand it to the palace, and the palace will read the holy will on behalf of the emperor. Rest assured, don't you? If you're relieved, please go back. ”

Zhou Ge Lao stroked his gray beard with a smile, "Okay, since the emperor has already made a decision, we naturally have nothing to worry about." What's more, the emperor is young and healthy, and he will definitely be able to recover from his illness, so why should we worry so much? ”

When Su Youyi heard this, she glanced at Zhou Ge Lao gratefully.

Li Ge Lao was probably bent on the emperor's death and the establishment of the second prince to ascend the throne, so that he could be the grandfather of the new monarch, and he was above 10,000 people under one person.

Only Zhou Ge Lao said that the emperor would definitely be able to recover from his illness, isn't this what Su Youyi thought in her heart?

Because of this, she was very disgusted with Li Gelao's eagerness. What's more, Li Ge Lao was her father-killing enemy, so she naturally didn't have a good face.

Elder Li Ge also saw that Su Youyi was clearly deliberately targeting him, so he simply made his words clear and said, "The imperial concubine's words are wrong!" Although the matter of establishing a prince is determined by the emperor's sacred heart. Judge, but the emperor makes any decision, and he has always had to discuss it with the important ministers of the court! I can't wait for the emperor to be by his side, if the emperor listens to the gossip of those harem women and makes a choice that is unfavorable to the country, what should I do? ”

"The harem woman is standing in front of you, who is the demon that Li Ge Lao said?"

Su Youyi smiled and asked Li Ge Lao word by word, while staring at him tightly.

Li Ge Lao is the old Shoufu for decades, how can he be frightened by her, so he said: "Who dares to instigate the emperor to appoint an ignorant child as a prince, it is a fallacy, is the old man wrong?" ”

Su Youyi laughed angrily.

It turned out that Li Ge thought that she would recommend the emperor to appoint her five princes, or the fourth princes, as the princes.

No wonder Elder Li Ge was so angry.
