In the palace.

The emperor's illness again after a few days caused a great upheaval in the government and the opposition.

In court politics, the emperor decreed that political affairs should be handled by the crown prince and the eldest prince. As soon as this news came out, speculation began among the ministers and wavered.

And because of the incident in the Situ family, the courtiers speculated whether the emperor had the intention of replacing the prince?

In the outer hall of the diligent administration hall, including the crown prince, several other princes were also there, in order to discuss the issue of this political matter.

"Brother Emperor, you don't understand this matter of government affairs, let's come to this palace, what should you be busy with." The crown prince looked at the eldest prince with a mocking gaze, and said again with a bang in front of him.

"What the prince said is right, eldest brother, you don't understand the affairs of the court, you can leave it to the prince to deal with, and you will be easy." The fourth prince followed the prince's words and began to persuade.

Although the eldest prince is not a fool, he doesn't want to get involved, so he nodded in response, "Since the prince likes political affairs, let the prince deal with it." After speaking, he took the lead in leaving the palace despite the few people present.

"What does Father mean?" The four princes deliberately pretended not to understand.

The crown prince clenched the fold in his hand, and the corners of his mouth pulled a touch of sarcasm, "Father and emperor have done everything possible not to let the eldest brother leave, the purpose is now self-evident, it seems that the position of the prince in this palace is dangerous." ”

The fourth prince clapped his hands and laughed, "Prince, you are too worried, the eldest brother has no strength behind him, and he can't make waves, besides, only if you are the queen's concubine, the position of the prince can only be yours." ”

Despite the words of the fourth emperor's brother, the crown prince was still very worried. "That was before, aren't you worried this time, the Situ family and your Lan family have been defeated, and our difficulties have begun."

"I didn't expect the cousin of the Lan family to lose, is it really as rumored, is it really my father's hand behind it?" The fourth prince also felt uneasy at the moment.

"You arrange for someone to keep an eye on the eldest brother's side."

"Okay."

After the eldest prince left the palace, he went directly to the Lan Palace.

Wei Qianlan didn't expect the eldest prince to come to see him, but he also politely ordered someone to invite someone into the palace and meet him in the study.

"Uncle Lanhuang, I believe you have heard that your father is sick." The eldest prince rejected the tea on the maid, and asked King Lan with a strict gaze.

King Lan nodded, "I heard about it, and didn't you and the crown prince be ordered to deal with political affairs?" You should be in the palace at the moment, how did you come to this king? ”

"My nephew has no intention of going to politics, the prince likes it, so I handed it over to him, my nephew came this time because I wanted Uncle Lan Huang to visit my father, he was really sick." The eldest prince lowered his eyebrows, and his words seemed to be pleading.

Wei Qianlan turned Mo Zhu's hand and stopped, his eyes were shining, "Do you have any questions about your father's serious illness?" ”

The eldest prince was silent for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, Imperial Doctor Feng said that his father was overworked, but his nephew didn't think so, in the past, his father was so tired, and he was fine, why were these two times so strange?" And the crown prince didn't care about his father's illness at all. ”

"This king knows, but if this king enters the palace now, I am afraid that it will attract the dissatisfaction of the prince and courtiers, and he will enter the palace to visit in a few days, so you just wait for the news." Wei Qianlan agreed to the eldest prince's request, and then saw that he still had a hesitant Mo Yang, so he asked again, "Do you still have anything difficult to do, eldest prince?" ”

The eldest prince took a sip of the tea in his hand, as cheerful as a big bowl of wine on the battlefield, and made up his mind before he said, "Uncle Lanhuang, my nephew has been stationed in the border city for my Beiwei Dynasty, not to get power or other, just to have a stable life." ”

King Lan expressed his understanding and motioned for him to continue.

"Actually, I'm already married in the border city, and I can't agree to my father's request for me to marry Princess Tanglin."

Wei Qianlan's eyebrows rose, and his figure was stunned, but he didn't expect that the eldest prince would be bold in marriage when he usually obeyed the rules. "The prince can't marry privately, does your father know?"

"My nephew is preparing to tell my father, but I don't want my father to fall ill, so I haven't had time yet."

"What do you mean by looking for this king?" Wei Qianlan felt that the eldest prince seemed to have come to throw a problem.

"Uncle Lanhuang, my nephew can't marry Princess Tanglin, please ask Uncle Lan Huang to persuade my father, because my nephew and Wen Xia really love each other, although she is a peasant girl in a border town, but she has a kind heart, and we have-"

Wei Qianlan asked eagerly, "What is already?" ”

"I already have a child, it's a boy, half a year old, name, Acropolis."

"It's easy to have a child, I believe your father will look at the child's face and will not embarrass you." Wei Qianlan originally thought that the marriage had frightened him, but he didn't expect that the eldest prince would even have a child.

"Nephew, thank Uncle Lan first."

"At this time, don't make a noise, especially on the prince's side, you must not talk about it, otherwise the consequences will be difficult." Wei Qianlan felt that it was still necessary to remind the eldest prince.

Not looking at his integrity, but only looking at the fact that he does not climb power, is not wealthy, and only pursues what he loves, Wei Qianlan also decided to help him.

"Nephew understands." The eldest prince knew the meaning of Uncle Lan's instructions.

Wei Qianlan was very satisfied with his wisdom, "It's okay, you can go back first." ”

"My nephew is leaving."

After the eldest prince left, Gu Ningyan slowly walked in from under the window.

Wei Qianlan had already noticed the figure under the window, and when she saw her come in, she slowly asked, "How much did you hear?" ”

"It's not much, but I have to listen to it from beginning to end." Gu Ningyan slept on the couch next to him with a smile, and continued, "I didn't expect the eldest prince to be so bold, I have children."

Wei Qianlan knew that Gu Ningyan would not mess around, but he still reminded her, "Although it seems to be small at this time, the stakes are very high, you must not tell anyone, including Ling Ningshuang and Ye Qiao, do you know?" ”

Gu Ningyan blinked, "I know, I'm not so stupid to help the prince." ”

"That's fine."

"By the way, what do you think is going on with the emperor?"

Wei Qianlan frowned, "Do you have any suspicions?" Or do you know something? ”

"I happened to be here when the emperor fell ill last time, I think it was not simple for the emperor to fall ill, it was like being poisoned, but Feng Junyu has always said that he is hard and tired, do you think it is the emperor's meaning or Feng Junyu's meaning?"

Because of her words, Wei Qianlan fell into deep thought, "It seems that there is another inside story in this matter, don't mess around, I will investigate this matter." ”

"It seems that in the coming days, Beiwei's court is likely to be very chaotic,

Will you be a part of it? Gu Ningyan was curious about what Wei Qianlan would do?

"No matter what becomes of the court, it has nothing to do with me." Wei Qianlan looked at Gu Ningyan and said with a firm gaze.

Gu Ningyan smiled and didn't speak again, her eyes looked through the gap in the window, and she kept looking outside, but she was answering in her mind, she wanted to do it.

Looking at Gu Ningyan's silence, Wei Qianlan also chose to be silent, as for what he was thinking in his heart, he didn't know.

When Gu Ningyan returned to Shenjue Mountain, Granny Qiuyue finally found the good news, which was that the blue blood compass in her hand was really not a real compass, and the real compass was a key in the shape of a red jade, which was the only key that could open the dragon vein.

"Miss, the location of the dragon veins in the world is under our Shenjue Mountain, and it turns out that we have lived here for generations to protect the dragon veins."

"I see." Gu Ningyan looked at the mutilated ancient books and classics in the hands of Granny Qiuyue, which indeed recorded the secret of the Blue Blood Compass, but when it came to the location of the dragon vein, it was incomplete. "Granny Qiuyue, how did you determine that the dragon veins in the world are under the Divine Secret Mountain?"

"I once heard your mother and the heads of the previous generation say, no matter what

The Qiu family in Shenjue Mountain cannot be demolished, because our Qiu family must be guarded here for generations. ”

I see. "Granny Qiuyue, I'll go back to the palace now, the blue blood compass must be in Wei Qianlan's hands."

"Miss, King Lan must have opened the trap box with a key." Granny Qiuyue said again, "Actually, the old slave thinks that the eldest lady, you don't want to go back to question King Lan for the time being, even if you look for him, maybe he won't tell you, it's better for us to pretend not to know and investigate secretly." ”

Gu Ningyan nodded, "Granny Qiuyue, you're right, Wei Qianlan is too smart, if I ask directly, he will definitely pass it on to the Feng Zhuang master." ”

"Yes."

After agreeing with Qiuyue's mother-in-law, Gu Ningyan decided to look for it secretly after going back.

Next, there were constant rumors in the imperial city that the emperor's condition was getting worse and that he was about to be located in the crown prince.

On this day, Chang Gonggong was ordered to summon King Lan into the palace.

The emperor leaned on the bed, drinking the decoction fed by Concubine Su, his dying appearance was really worrying, and when he saw King Lan coming, he immediately pushed away the decoction and beckoned King Lan to come forward, "King Lan is here, I have something to say to you." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak, listen."

"It's all at this time, King Lan don't be polite, hurry up and take a seat, I guess you have also heard the rumors outside, the prince is getting more and more status now."

"It's probably a rumor, the emperor doesn't have to worry."

The emperor shook his head, "You don't understand the relationship between King Lan." ”

Wei Qianlan didn't understand, why did the emperor seem to suddenly change his personality after waking up, not only did he not look at it as a thorn in his side, but on the contrary, he seemed to be very gentle, no matter what, he ignored the rumors of the prince and asked, "Is there something wrong with the emperor summoning his ministers?" ”

The emperor waved his sleeves and said to Concubine Su, "You go down first." ”

Su Concubine saluted and retired.

"After I woke up today, the eldest prince told me that her grandfather was in charge of the border city, and she married a peasant girl and had children." While the emperor spoke, he observed King Lan's demeanor.

Wei Qianlan asked puzzled, "What does the emperor want to do?" ”

"I want to hear what you mean by King Lan, after all, you are his imperial uncle, and you will never give bad advice."

"Your Majesty, if you want to get advice from your minister, no, this is

Your family, the eldest prince is your son, and that child is also the heir of the royal family, and the right to decide is in the emperor's thoughts. Wei Qianlan would not speak rashly when he did not know the emperor's intentions.

The emperor didn't expect King Lan to refuse so simply. However, he didn't get angry, and continued with a smile, "King Lan, don't be too cautious, today is a conversation between our brothers, and it has nothing to do with the court. ”

Even so, Wei Qianlan was still cautious, "In that case, then the younger brother will talk about it." ”

The emperor waved his hand in satisfaction, "Said boldly." ”

"Actually, since the eldest prince already has an imperial heir, why not leave the eldest prince in the emperor, and bring the imperial heir and the child's mother together, give the child and the child's mother a name, the prince marries the people, the emperor attaches great importance to it, and the people will praise the emperor when it is passed on." Wei Qianlan expressed what he thought in his heart, and he could be regarded as helping the eldest prince.
