With the arrival of midwinter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and even though it is the evergreen Dongwan Palace, a heavy snow has also fallen, and the temperature has dropped suddenly.

The branches were covered with snow, as if wrapped in a ball of snow-white cotton, and the field of vision was vast, and even the air was cold to the bone. Several palace maids cleaned the snow in front of the court, silently, glancing at the figure in front of the hall from time to time, and then carefully bowed their heads and continued to be busy.

The figure standing in front of the hall is naturally the owner of Fengwu Palace, Queen Wei.

Gently holding the big coat draped over her shoulders, Empress Wei frowned, her eyebrows looked into the distance, as if she wanted to see something.

She's worried.

Since Emperor Dongwan fell ill, the imperial doctors were helpless, no matter how much medicine they took, it was useless, and Empress Wei was worried. She understood the cause of Emperor Dongwan's illness, but this was a heart disease, and she had no choice but to be anxious.

As he was anxious, a man appeared in his field of vision. The figure is tall and tall, and her steps are brisk, although she can't see her face clearly from a distance, but just the azure dress and graceful bearing, Queen Wei recognized it, and her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help beckoning: "Emperor, Yu Qi!" ”

"Queen Mother!" Far away, Xiao Yuqi saw Empress Wei standing at the door of the hall and quickened her pace.

Hurriedly approaching, Xiao Yuqi saluted Queen Wei and said respectfully: "It's just snowing, why is the Queen of Heaven standing here in such a cold weather?" Come in and warm up. ”

As he spoke, he helped Empress Wei to walk inward, looking a little worried.

As soon as she saw Xiao Yuqi coming, Empress Wei was relieved and asked him if he was busy with government affairs, and he had recently taken care of state affairs on behalf of his father, but there were tricky things and so on. Xiao Yuqi answered them one by one, very patient, and finally heard Queen Wei stretch a little sad and laughed.

"Thanks to you, Yu Qi, otherwise your father would have been ill for a few days, but I'm afraid that there would really be chaos." Empress Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of gloom flashed on her dignified and gentle face, "But your father is ...... Yu Qi, tell the queen mother, what do you think. ”

Empress Wei asked cluelessly, but Xiao Yuqi understood what she was worried about as soon as she heard it.

This is also the reason why he and Emperor Dongwan broke up unhappily the day before yesterday!

Emperor Dongwan has been ill for more than half a month, and the imperial doctor said that His Majesty is actually in good health, but he can't afford to be sick because of his troubles and excessive pressure. This is a heart disease, as long as Emperor Dongwan can't figure it out and is not in a good mood, even if they find the elixir, they can't cure it!

On that day, Xiao Yuqi still remembered what Emperor Dongwan said, and even remembered Emperor Dongwan's expression clearly. However, he thought about it for so long, but he still couldn't make up his mind, so he dragged it out until now.

Killed Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan?

Even if he thinks about it, Xiao Yuqi can't do it, he can't do it, he can't do it, he can't be ruthless!

He and Nalan Ye actually don't have much friendship, but they have been admiring each other for a long time, and the last time they met in a hurry, Nalan Ye left a deep impression on him. Whether it is his outstanding appearance, or his convincing momentum, or his domineering and decisive attitude towards things, and his thunderous iron-blooded methods, Xiao Yuqi is a celestial.

Even if Xiao Yuqi thinks highly of himself, he is unwilling to face an opponent like Nalan Ye head-on.

What's more, once he becomes an enemy of Nalan Ye, Luo Qingluan, who is regarded as a confidant by him, is bound to be hostile to him. No matter what the result is, it is not what Xiao Yuqi wants to see, once the two sides start a war and hostility, the consequences are unimaginable.

"The queen mother, you can't be in a hurry with Xi Chu, and it's not suitable for open hostility. Father is too anxious, that's why he ......" Xiao Yuqi sighed, revealing a little sadness: "Moreover, in the final analysis, this matter was not provoked by the King of Chu." It is really ...... for the father to vent his anger on the heads of the king of Chu."

"Alas...... Yu Qi, your father is the emperor after all, how can you lose face? Empress Wei felt this and shook her head.

Although Concubine Li Guifei has been executed, and even the entire Li family has been raided for questioning, and countless imperial relatives have been implicated, I still have palpitations when I think about it. But Empress Wei also felt that Emperor Dongwan was still not angry, and he even blamed his anger on the King of Chu and Princess Chu who triggered this incident, but he didn't consider that if it wasn't for Concubine Li's own misbehavior, this would be the root of the matter.

Emperor Dongwan lost face, and was also known to important people in the rival country about such a secret thing, in his opinion, as long as Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan lived for a day, they would prove his ugly deeds one day. Only the king of Chu and the princess of Chu are dead, and even ...... Emperor Dongwan couldn't wait to kill everyone who knew about it, and he would forget it completely.

"But the queen mother, knowing that her father's move was wrong, her sons were even more reluctant." This is also Xiao Yuqi's headache.

This matter, Queen Wei also thought about it for a long time, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but this move is a big deal, Emperor Dongwan is now seriously ill, and I don't know what the consequences are, in case she really can't afford to get sick, the prince is her only son, how can she not help worry about it?

Looking at Xiao Yuqi deeply, Empress Wei said earnestly: "Although your father's move is wrong, on the other hand, it is also for the sake of Dongwan's future. Yu Qi, think about it, now that Western Chu has annexed North Vietnam, Southern Wei is in danger, and in another five or ten years, I am afraid that Western Chu will really surpass Dongwan, and then we may follow in the footsteps of North Vietnam. ”

"But the queen mother, the king of Chu and the princess of Chu ......"

Empress Wei interrupted Xiao Yuqi's words: "The queen mother knows that you have a relationship with the princess of Chu, and she can't bear to attack her, as for the king of Chu, the queen mother has seen it with her own eyes, it is indeed extraordinary, a genius!" But Yu Qi, you are now in charge of the country, and it may not take long to ascend the throne, you have to take into account the overall situation and consider the future of the entire Dongwan. ”

"And more importantly, even if the king of Chu looks at the princess of Chu and does not want Dongwan to be the emperor, but ...... What about the Emperor of Western Chu! Will he listen to Princess Chu? Will Princess Chu interfere in court politics? In case the Western Chu Emperor insists on attacking Dongwan, and the King of Chu has to fight as a courtier, and when the army comes, will you just watch the people of Dongwan make a living? ”

"You are the future son of heaven in Dongwan, think about your subjects!"

The last sentence was like a blow on Xiao Yuqi's head.

Think about Dongwan's future, for the sake of his subjects! As the future emperor of Dongwan, does he really have to be scrupulous, timid, and thoughtful? There is no such thing as a double world, personal friendship and responsibility, and he can only choose one or the other.

After leaving Fengwu Palace, Xiao Yuqi thought about it for a long time, and finally went to Emperor Dongwan's bedroom.

The night was dark, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids guarding the palace saw Xiao Yuqi coming, and hurriedly saluted. Xiao Yuqi waved them back down, and walked towards the bed with light steps.

The white fish sheath scale gauze tent hung down, covering the figure of Emperor Dongwan on the bed, the windows in the hall were closed, and the stove was burning, and there was no chill at all. But looking at Emperor Dongwan's pale and old face, Xiao Yuqi couldn't help but feel gloomy for a while.

"Father's ......"

As if hearing a voice, Emperor Dongwan's eyelids moved, and it took a while before he slowly opened them.

Completely unable to see the vitality of the past, the twin dragon's eyes were cloudy and unenergetic, and they moved their lips, but they didn't make a sound at all. After only one glance at him, Emperor Dongwan turned his head and closed his eyes again, without saying a word.

"Father, the son came to see you, and there is one more thing I want to tell my father......"

Seeing Emperor Dongwan's expression like this, Xiao Yuqi's only hesitation disappeared in his heart, and he said softly, but as if he had sworn an oath: "The retainer has already decided after thinking about it these days, since his father is worried about Dongwan's future, the retainer will naturally share his worries for his father." ”

"The matter of the king of Chu, the father doesn't have to worry, the son will only deal with it."

There seemed to be a burst of light in his eyes, Emperor Dongwan suddenly turned his head and stared at Xiao Yuqi, as if he had reacted, looking at Xiao Yuqi nodding affirmatively, Emperor Dongwan actually sat up, lifted the gauze tent and clasped his hand, and said excitedly: "Really? ”

"Xichu is powerful, and it must be Dongwan's opponent in the future, how can Erchen watch Dongwan's country be buried in the hands of Erchen?" Xiao Yuqi looked cold and resolute, and said word by word: "Please also ask my father to recover as soon as possible, and my son will definitely assist my father and make a good plan." ”

Emperor Dongwan listened for a moment, the wrinkles between his eyebrows stretched inch by inch, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha......"

The depression was swept away, and the jealousy suppressed in his heart finally disappeared completely at the moment when Xiao Yuqi agreed.

Father and son are connected, and their profits are broken!

Coupled with the relationship between Xiao Yuqi and Luo Qingluan, if you use it, I am afraid that it will be a wonderful move in the future!

……

Since living in Suiyuan, Long Kai has been smooth sailing.

Daughter Long Ning successfully curry favor with the Queen Mother, and also entered the palace to be the concubine of Emperor Xichu, he was even given the title of the mighty marquis.

Every day, there are a large stack of worship posts, inviting him to the banquet, and many dignitaries and dignitaries come to the door to ask for a meeting, offering valuable gifts, just to make friends with him and get acquainted with him.

Although Long Kai is arrogant, he also knows what is going on with these people, he is just thinking about his identity as the uncle of the King of Chu, and the daughter of a concubine, how can he not stammer him? On the surface, Long Kai was also polite to these people and talked happily, but in private, he disdained them and slandered them a lot.

Isn't that just trying to take advantage of him? He's not so stupid!

"Master Hou, this is the post I received so far yesterday, please take a look at it." The new housekeeper Li Weida respectfully held a stack of prayer posts and walked into the study.

Although he was holding a book in his hand, Long Kai didn't look at it at all, his mind was full of thoughts, he put down the book when he heard the words, and when he turned his head and saw that there were so many posts, he became a little impatient.

"If it's not important in the future, don't bring it in." He said in a deep voice.

When he first received these greeting posts, Long Kai was still enthusiastic about going to the appointment, and even felt fluttering about it. It's just that after a lot of times, others obviously stammered and flattered, and he got used to it and began to feel impatient.

He is the uncle of the King of Chu, the father of Concubine Yao, or the mighty marquis of His Majesty, in fact, ordinary people can compare? Invite him to dinner and wine? It depends on whether he is in a good mood or not, and whether he has time to talk about it!

Li Weida paused, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Master Hou." ”

Just about to retreat, he suddenly remembered something, took out something from his arms, and said cautiously: "Master Hou, this is the little one I received yesterday, but there is no name on the invitation, just ......"

"Just what?"

Long Kai suddenly felt displeased, and handed over the worship post without even leaving his name, didn't this clearly underestimate him?

Li Weida said cautiously: "The small one thought it was a mess, so he wanted to deal with it for the Hou Ye, but I didn't know, the small one took it apart and took a look, but this letter was...... But it was Prince Dongwan who sent someone to write it, specifying that he had sent an envoy to see the Hou Ye. ”

"What?" Long Kai's eyes widened and he was taken aback!
