Today, the emperor is in his forties and in the prime of life, but after years of hard work, his health has gradually deteriorated, and he feels that he is more than capable of strength, and is preparing to choose an heir among the three princes under his knees.

In the imperial study, the emperor was looking at the test papers of this year's outstanding lifters, and after reading them, he couldn't help but shoot the case and even claim that it was good, and stroked his beard and secretly said that this year's lifts are excellent, and there are so many talents in this dynasty, I can't help but feel comforted.

"This year's move is so good, it's really a blessing for this dynasty!" After reading three or five test papers, the emperor couldn't help but admire.

"This is all the credit of the emperor's good governance." The emperor's henchman Zhao Gonggong handed over a cup of ginseng tea and patted the emperor's ass by the way.

"With so many talents, they will all be my ministers of the humerus in the future, and after cultivating them well, they will be enough to assist the new emperor, and I can be regarded as seeking benevolence." The emperor was very pleased, the more talents, the more prosperous his country would be.

"The emperor is in the prime of life, and the princes still want to do their filial piety for two years!" Gonggong Zhao comforted in a low voice, in fact, he was not optimistic in his heart, as a person next to the emperor, of course he knew the emperor's physical condition, I am afraid that it would not last for three years.

Whether it is out of selfishness or on business, Zhao Gonggong hopes that the emperor can live a long life, his fate is closely related to the emperor, once the emperor dies, he will not have the infinite scenery he has now, at most he will return to his hometown to recuperate, and even his life can not be saved. He knew that he had offended a lot of people, and as long as the emperor died, these people would no longer have any scruples, and I was afraid that they would eat him alive.

"Don't comfort me, I know my body very well." The emperor shook his head helplessly, the so-called life and death have a destiny and wealth in the sky, he has long seen everything, and only hopes to choose a suitable king for this country before he dies, and he will die blindly.

No one knew what was happening in the imperial study, and Xue Lan, who was also in the palace, 'cultivated' her body, and began to be instructed to work and began to sort out the fallen leaves in the cold palace.

It was now late autumn, the cold wind chased through the fallen leaves, Xue Lan was only wearing a thin blue eunuch suit, gathered the clothes on her body and continued to sweep the floor, her palms had already become red.

In his previous life, Zhang Xuelan was not in good health, with the unique weakness of a scholar, not to mention that he fell down as soon as the wind blew, he was also very weak. After being locked in the firewood room, he couldn't eat enough food and clothing, and then he was knifed, and he was seriously ill, and he was instructed to work while he was seriously ill, and his whole body was hollowed out, even if his life was better later, he couldn't make up for it, and his life span was greatly reduced.

Xue Lan had prepared in advance, and now she looks thin and weak, and she is actually much better than ordinary people, so she will not die young. After doing her job, Xue Lan looked at the cold and desolate cold palace, this place was the place where Zhang Yurou died in the first place, and it was also the place she was most afraid of.

When leading the broom away and passing through the royal garden path, Xue Lan happened to bump into the chief eunuch Zhao Gonggong, and immediately saluted the other party as soon as she lowered her head, Zhao Gonggong nodded coldly and was about to leave, but was stopped.

"Father-in-law Zhao......" Xue Lan narrowed her eyes, straightened her waist and looked at Father-in-law Zhao who had stopped, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"You ......" Zhao Gonggong turned around, his eyes were confused for a moment, and his arrogance dissipated a lot, and he stood there quietly waiting for Xue Lan's words.

"Father-in-law Zhao, how is the emperor's body?" This path is secluded and uninhabited, and there are Guoguo not far away from the wind, Xuelan no longer shy away from anything, casually threw away the broom and tidied up her sleeves, and opened her mouth casually, revealing the momentum of the superior on her body.

"The emperor's health is very bad, and he can only last for three years at most." Zhao Gonggong replied truthfully, speaking concisely and clearly.

"So do you want the emperor to die? What are you going to do? Xue Lan opened her mouth with a smile, staring at the eyes of Zhao Gonggong Martial God.

"No, the slave is ready to find a prince to take refuge in and keep his glory and wealth." Zhao Gonggong said his plan, this is his plan to sit down after knowing that the emperor is not in good health. Without the emperor's backer, he is like a catkins in the wind at the mercy of others, and he naturally has to take the initiative to find a new backer in order to save his life and the glory and wealth of the rest of his life.

"How can other princes compare to the affectionate emperor? Gonggong Zhao, you are confused, why don't I give you a good idea? Xue Lan lowered her voice and leaned into Zhao's ear.

"Okay." Zhao Gonggong nodded, he also knew very well in his heart the fate of being a master and a slave, if he didn't have no way out, he wouldn't take risks.

"I have a good doctor to recommend to you, and she will definitely cure the emperor's illness when the time comes, which will be good for everyone." Xue Lan smiled slightly, picked up the broom and turned to leave, snapping her fingers with her back to Zhao Gonggong.

Zhao Gonggong's body shook, and there was a voice in his head that kept reminding him, so that his heart couldn't help but give birth to hope. If the emperor can do well, he doesn't have to be so careful, why does he have the idea of being mastered?

A shrewd and capable person like the emperor would be crazy if he was found to have no place to be buried. Father-in-law Zhao shook his head and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

The path in front of him is in the direction of the cold palace, and it is also the place where he and the third prince agreed, and the road that was full of hope in his eyes before seemed to be full of poisonous vines at this time, waiting for the prey to approach, and when the time comes, the slightest entanglement will make him fall into a situation from which he will never recover.

couldn't help but take two steps back, Zhao Gonggong turned around and left without hesitation, the so-called one woman does not do anything, two husbands and one servant do not serve the two masters, he was really dizzy before, and he would believe the rhetoric of the third prince.

So, the third prince who was waiting for Gonggong Zhao in the cold palace blew the cold wind all day, and the words he originally thought of were held in his stomach, and the next day he got a serious illness with wind cold.

Xue Lan had already noticed that there were people in the cold palace, although the other party tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't escape Xue Lan's eyes, and she happened to see Zhao Gonggong on the hidden path to the cold palace, what else did she not understand? So pushing the boat down the river caused the result that the third prince was seriously ill.

Three days later, at night, Xue Lan and Yi were ready to go to bed, she had long been accustomed to such an environment, but she was well adapted, but she was stopped by the steward outside.

"Xiao Zhangzi, someone is looking for you." Xue Lan sighed helplessly when she heard this, she really couldn't even sleep well, and then got out of bed and stared at the curious and jealous eyes of the other little eunuchs and walked out.

The superintendent inspected Xue Lan up and down, and he didn't know what kind of luck this kid had to get the favor of Zhao Gonggong, but he didn't see anything after watching it for a long time, and walked out with Xue Lan.

"If you are developed in the future, you must remember that the miscellaneous family takes care of you! The people you want to meet later are easy to mess with, and it's up to you whether you live or die. I don't know what I was thinking, but after a few words of advice, Xue Lan nodded and understood.
