The facts are ambiguous. Tuoba Hong thought of the relationship between father and son, and remembered that their mother and son had been diligent and thoughtful for many years, and he did not want to suspect that they wanted to threaten his life.

Yuan'er and Donggong won't kill the king, they definitely won't.

He breathed long, exhaled. He looked at Lin Yuan's eyes and said, "Yuan'er, the East Palace is no longer suitable for inheriting the Great Unification. I will settle your mother and son well, King Wu is a righteous man, and with my edict, he will let you live......"

He coughed violently.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, crying and stepped forward to scrub for him.

She can't blame the emperor for rebellion, it's a hurdle that can't be crossed. Once the emperor has the slightest suspicion, it will be difficult for the East Palace to turn over. There is only one emperor, Tuoba Hong is still alive now, and the threat of the East Palace to him is asking for his life.

Even if the emperor insists and believes in everything, he can't gamble with this kind of strength in his heart.

"The emperor should take medicine." She handed the bowl to Tuoba Hong's mouth, and drank a spoonful of it herself: "The taste is very bitter, bitter than the medicine that the concubine used to take." ”

Tuoba Hong drank it all with her hand, and smiled lightly: "The tongue is wooden, but I can't feel it." He looked at her again and said, "You have worked hard for the sake of the black silk grass, right?" ”

"It's not that hard." Lin Yuan wiped her tears: "As you know, the black silk grass became extinct a hundred years ago, but it is rumored that it was cultivated there. ”

Hearing her mention Xuguzi, Tuoba Hong was not surprised, and his face was calm as usual.

"The world is not false, the divine doctor Xuguzi has indeed lived for a long time, and he passed away a few years ago." Lin Yuan sent the medicine bottle in the box to the emperor: "Xuguzi is one of the 'Shangshan Four Hao', I heard that the emperor was seriously ill, and the East Palace sent someone to look for him, but unfortunately Xuguzi has passed away, and it was his attendant boy who gave the Wusi grass left by Xuguzi to the East Palace." Except for Xuguzi, the other three sages are all alive, and the East Palace invited them to come to meet the saints, and they also agreed, and now they are all on the way to Beisai. Xuguzi is hundreds of years old, and Dongyuan Gong, Xia Huanggong, and Qili Ji are also over eighty years old, but their physique is as usual, and they think they will arrive tomorrow. ”

Hearing the "Shangshan Sihao", the corners of Tuoba Hong's lips twitched.

Lin Yuan clenched the emperor's hand again and comforted: "You must meditate and cultivate. I heard that the emperor had been looking for the 'Shangshan Sihao', and he thought of getting the assistance of the four sages, but he couldn't ask for it in his life. When you are seriously ill, they are willing to appear, and it must be a sign from heaven to protect you. Your Majesty, you will be fine. ”

***

Lin Yuan didn't lie about it.

Two days later, Donggong personally led a group of cavalry from the capital to escort the sage to Jingbian City. The officials stationed in Jingbian City and the henchmen and important ministers beside Tuoba Hong at first only said that the East Palace had arrived and went to answer, and after learning the name of "Shangshan Sihao", they were all dumbfounded.

The crown prince of Donggong was placed under house arrest after the Zhang Kaishan incident, and a few months later, on the same days as the emperor went north to attack the Xia state, he ordered him to be moved to the fiefdom of Qizhou. said that Donggong was sick and wanted to move to the palace to recuperate, but it was actually exile.

When the emperor issued the order, he didn't want the East Palace to leave Qizhou, but now that the emperor is critically ill, it is reasonable for the East Palace to come to visit regardless of the rules.

Concubine Shu brought the East Palace to face the saint together, and the three sages also followed in. At that time, the emperor took the prescription of black silk grass, and his condition improved slightly. When he saw the three of them with his own eyes, if he could, he even wanted to follow the example of King Wen of Zhou and stay and salute each other.

Lin Yuan was just a concubine, and after serving tea, she hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

She stood outside the hall of her study, the rain was lighter, and the north wind was still very cold. General Xue stood with her, turned his head to look at the candlelight shining through the inner room, and sighed: "Under the East Palace, you can actually get the support of Shangshan Sihao. Niangniang was worried about the battle for the throne at first, but now that the emperor has met the sage, I think he will be impressed by the East Palace. ”

Lin Yuan smiled faintly and said to him: "Since the incident of Zhang Kaishan, our mother and son have had a difficult life, and we have to thank General Xue for handling us in front of the emperor." ”

Xue Ze was a hearty person, and he waved his hand and smiled: "A mortal like Weichen can witness the side of a sage with his own eyes, and it is not in vain to be born." The East Palace is not a thing in the pool, and Weichen is just a pawn in front of the horse, and he just does his best. ”

"The general said this early." Lin Yuan's face revealed a touch of bitterness: "Although Shangshan Sihao is famous, but now in the Qin State, King Wu is trusted by the emperor, and he is in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Beisai at a young age. In the capital, however, King Zhao is in charge of the country, and the queen of the middle palace seems to have support for King Zhao......"

Xue Ze listened and bowed his head and was silent. Lin Yuan sighed again: "The bloody wind and rain in the palace, it is not yet known who the flowers will be." ”

***

As Lin Yuan envisioned, the appearance of the three sages made the situation turn around.

On the second day of the eighth month of the twentieth year of Qianwu, the three saints of Dongyuan, Xia Huanggong, and Qiliji, mentioned the matter of the prince of Qin without taboo in person.

Tuoba Hong knew the weight of the sages, and Mo said that his father had visited Shangshan Sihao, and he had also searched the world in the year he succeeded to the throne. The lives of these four people are legendary, all of them have had great glory and dignity, and their knowledge is respected by the people of the world, but in the end they choose to go into hiding. Let's just say that Dongyuan Gong, he is the left prime minister of Emperor Jing, the king of Linjiang, and now the fief of Linjiang actually belongs to him, but he doesn't want to lose it to his descendants.

Being able to see these three characters, Tuoba Hong wanted to bow and worship from head to toe, and when he heard them talk about winning the heir, not only was he not annoyed, but he also had to listen to him. The Duke of Dongyuan advised him, saying that the East Palace was plotting against him, didn't the emperor know the truth in his heart, why did he want to abolish the prince for the sake of a trace of suspicion, and hand over the country to the prince whose talent was inferior to that of the prince?

Several people talked for a long time, and finally the three sages retired, and the emperor sat quietly until late at night.

On the second day, the emperor summoned the East Palace and Concubine Shu.

At that time, the three of Dongyuan Gong had already left Jingbian City, and the emperor tried hard to keep them. They traveled the world, did not like to be restrained, and did not want to return to the court again. But they also left a letter, saying that in the future, when the new king ascended the throne, if there was any difficulty, they could be invited out of the mountain at any time.

How Tuoba Hong didn't understand, this is what it means to assist the East Palace.

Lin Yuan hadn't seen her son for two years, Tuoba Qi didn't look as much as she imagined, and she still looked like a young round face - after all, her body was only thirteen years old.

The real important things were talked about yesterday, and today, Lin Yuan's mother and son face the saint, but there is some meaning of family reunion. The emperor took a purple box and ordered someone to hand it to the East Palace, and Lin Yuan knew that it was a tiger talisman from all over the place.

However, within a day, the emperor listened to the advice of the sages and decided to pass on the throne to the East Palace again. The truth of Zhang Kaishan's rebellion case is still unknown, but the three sages persuaded the emperor not to do things that were detrimental to the country and society because of suspicion, and the emperor listened; In addition, Concubine Shu offered black silk grass to him to continue his life, Tuoba Hong felt his own feelings in his heart, and felt that Concubine Shu's mother and son had gone through great hardships to find a miracle medicine in order to save him, how could they have the intention of killing the king?

Lin Yuan served the emperor for dinner, and seeing that his complexion was better, he said happily: "Is the black silk grass useful?" ”

Tuoba Hong nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, I was able to find that thing." As he spoke, he sighed almost inaudibly: "Yuan'er, I am a mortal fetus in the flesh, and the medicine is also grown in the soil, not made by the gods." ”

Lin Yuan was silent when she heard this. She also knows that there are many things that cannot be forced-although the black silk grass has a miraculous effect, if the symptoms are too severe, such as Tuoba Hong, the five internal organs begin to fail, it is also a temporary effect.

Probably fate. She and Tuoba Qi's mother and son found four sages a few years ago, and when the emperor was injured in battle and poisoned, he was in a race against death. Her men took the black silk grass and drove it to the north of the country, and four horses were killed, and it was delivered on the ninth day. And Tuoba Hong's side is already quite not optimistic, the old injury has recurred, and the miasma has poisoned the bone marrow, which is very tricky.

In the end, I got black silk grass as an antidote, but it was too late.

The Xia Huang Guild in the Three Sages will meet, but they don't know how to heal. After looking at Tuoba Hong, he said that the white nostrils and the yellow hairline were signs that the end was approaching.

Tuoba Hong didn't want to die, and Lin Yuan didn't want him to die. That is her husband and her dependence, and she still has to count on the emperor to live a few more years, suppress the internal strife of the royal family, calm the external Huns, and hand over a stable Qin State to Qiqi. And not the current state of affairs -

Even if the three sages came forward to persuade the emperor to revise the edict and pass on the throne to the East Palace, King Wu and King Zhao were still in big trouble, and the new monarch would always be a threat when he ascended the throne in the future.

After this day, the crown prince has been guarding the emperor, and the concubine has always served.

Because of the black silk grass, Tuoba Hong fought for the heavens for another month, but it was only January.

When the fallen leaves returned to his roots, when Tuoba Hong improved slightly, he ordered the people around him to send him back to the capital. Death in a foreign country is the most unbearable for people in this era.

He had been wounded by a knife, and the imperial physicians naturally advised him not to move, but he could not resist. So the holy driver set off from Jingbian City again, picked up a smooth official road, did not dare to be slow or fast, and everyone escorted the emperor with trepidation.

When he finally arrived in Xianyang, Tuoba Hong could no longer hurry.

He was sent to the Xianyang Palace in a daze. Because it is the ancient capital of the city, there are also palaces built here. It's just that the Lishan Palace was built more gorgeously and luxuriously, and the climate is also pleasant, and the royal family has not come to Xianyang for many years.

Tuoba Hong knew that this was not the capital, and he was resting in bed for a few days, and his heart was depressed and unhappy.

Xianyang is not far from the capital. On August 25, the queen of the middle palace and the princes and princesses hurried to Xianyang to visit the saint, accompanied by princes and nobles, civil and military ministers.

The palace pilgrimage to the temple knelt down in a circle of people early in the morning, and Empress Shangguan led all the sons to face the saints, and they all sobbed nonstop. Lin Yuan and the crown prince saw the queen, and the two knelt in front of the queen, crying with grief. Concubine Zhen fainted several times, and when she saw the queen, she grabbed the sleeve of the phoenix robe and begged: "Is there any way to save ......the emperor?"

In the past, everyone competed for favor, but at this time, a strange calm was formed. Shangguan Li arranged for several high-ranking concubines to take turns to serve the emperor, and everyone was not allowed to visit the saint in a hurry, let alone the young imperial heirs to cry and disturb. After settling here, she passed Lin Yuan to the outer hall.

Lin Yuan took out all her medicines, Shangguan Li looked at the bottle of Wusi Grass pills, and sighed and said Thanks to this thing, otherwise she would not even be able to see the emperor for the last time.

Lin Yuan just cried. Shangguan Li saw her crying, and finally cried, saying, "This palace wants to thank you." ”

Lin Yuan looked at her appearance, and felt tired for no reason. She couldn't tell - what kind of couple Shangguan Li and the emperor were, and how much love they could give each other?

Unlike the queen, the royal family and the courtiers have different thoughts. The news of Shangshan Sihao soon spread from Jingbian City, and even the people of the capital heard about such strange news.

Looking at the East Palace, which was originally under house arrest in the capital, he entered and exited the Xianyang Palace at will, and was summoned by the emperor every day. Before, I saw that King Wu was in high spirits, but now the East Palace is actually stable.

Such a situation makes the people in the court panic, and if they take the position, they will lose the whole game if they take a wrong step, but they will also be full of glory if they go right. During the emperor's campaign, turmoil broke out one after another, and King Wu and the East Palace also quarreled. Even now, many courtiers have stopped to watch, thinking that the throne will not necessarily fall into the hands of the East Palace.

Among them, there are many bold ones, who have found all kinds of excuses to see the concubine and the prince. Where did Lin Yuan dare to see his ministers at this time, Tuoba Qi also stayed by his father's side day and night, devoted himself to filial piety, and ignored the world.

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, Tuoba Hong vomited blood again after taking the medicine, and then he couldn't drink anything. Lin Yuan and the others rushed to the emperor in a hurry, and the queen was so frightened that she invited the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to go to the palace.

Tuoba Hong vomited blood and vomited frighteningly, but his mind was still clear, and he watched the people from the Ministry of Rites come in after the queen and said, "What are these people doing when they squeeze in." When the queen saw that he could still speak, she ordered her courtiers to stand down.

Lin Yuan bowed down to look at the emperor, and the queen stopped her and said, "The concubine should also step down, the emperor is in a bad mood and doesn't like such people to bother." ”

Lin Yuan didn't argue, looking at the emperor's appearance, it would last a few days, at least today. Then he led the palace people to retire.

Shangguan Li stood alone in front of the emperor's bed. She counted the more leaky voices, and after half an hour and so long, the emperor's breathing gradually stabilized, and Shangguan Li whispered to him: "Does the emperor want to drink medicine?" ”

"Take it all." Takubahiro frowned.

The queen hurriedly withdrew with her own hands, thinking that the emperor was tired, so she put down the bed tent and let him rest. As a result, Tuoba Hong said that he wanted to listen to "Night Sailing Boat" and asked the queen to read it to him.

Empress Shangguan accompanied the emperor alone in front of the bed all night.

At dawn on the second day, Takubahiro easily fell asleep. He was so sick that it was common for him to have headaches all night and not be able to sleep, and when he was awake, he didn't like to be surrounded by a room full of people. When he slept, the group of imperial doctors and attendants had to come in quietly and keep watch. Falling asleep is more dangerous than being awake.

Empress Shangguan slowly walked out of the dormitory. She looked up at the sky, and the glow of the fire in the east was as bright as a god.

She was sad and tired for days, her steps were empty, and when she came out, several concubines who came to Xianyang came up to help her. Concubine Yu stepped forward and asked urgently, "How is the emperor?" Concubine Niangniang has been boiling medicine in the warm pavilion at the back, and the black silk grass may still be useful, do you want to bring some over......"

Shangguan Li looked at her silently. An Ruyi lowered her head and glanced away, but said softly: "The concubines have been kneeling here all night, and they are worried. Isn't the queen still allowed us to go in and take a look at the emperor? As he spoke, he bit his lip and said boldly: "Even if the concubine is soft-spoken, the concubine can't go in." ”

"This palace has long said that the emperor doesn't like a lot of people these days, and so many people are flocking to the emperor, not only can not comfort the Holy Body, but only increase the worries." Empress Shangguan glanced coldly at the jade concubine: "An's, if you really think about the emperor, you should learn from Concubine Zhen, cut your hair and chant for blessings day and night, instead of arguing here to see the emperor!" ”

"The concubine just wants to visit ......" Yu Guifei has been favored for a long time over the years, and the emperor has always been the favorite concubine of the harem before the war in Beisai, and she gave birth to six princesses three years ago. Even in front of the queen, she dared to say a word or two.

However, at this time, the queen's face was a little scary, and she just gave up after a few snorts. Shangguan Li ignored them, brushed his sleeves and left. Behind her, Concubine Chun said softly: "The queen is right, we are all women, we don't understand anything, it's better to go to the Buddha and pray for blessings, maybe it can really be of some use." ”

An Ruyi snorted coldly in her heart, Zhang Yihuan never had to count on her, she had a clayman-like temperament, and she had no success for seven or eight years. She stretched out her hand and pointed to the back of the hall: "You all follow Concubine Chun, and by the way, help the palace say hello to Concubine Zhen." He looked bored and went to find Lin Yuan in the warm pavilion.

Lin Yuan was indeed boiling medicine, she didn't know that the queen had been with the emperor all night last night, but even if she fought with the queen for this matter, what was the use?

The big things in the world are not forced to be accomplished.

An Ru agreed with her, and the anger on the door of her head was even greater, and she pushed the door and said, "How can Concubine Niangniang still do it!" Empress Shangguan has a fancy for King Zhao! Even the concubines can see it! Isn't the mother in a hurry?! ”

"The queen and the Shangguan family are ambitious, and they tossed and turned the earth-shattering case of Zhang Kaishan, and the East Palace was almost abolished!" An Ruyi became more and more anxious: "Although Niangniang and the East Palace turned the tide and regained the storage position, but the emperor is still on the throne now, and the East Palace has not really succeeded to the throne, this matter cannot be said to be settled!" The emperor is in one day, and the queen still has a chance! King Wu led his troops away and couldn't come back for the time being, and King Zhao sat in the capital again. The concubines looked at the queen, and the queen spent the most time alone with the emperor these days. When we don't know, the queen is playing right and wrong in front of the emperor......"

"Your concubine! That's enough! Lin Yuan interrupted her in a cold voice: "The emperor is still there!" She's still the queen too! That's what you're supposed to say? ”
