The emperor was old and very sick. Xiao Dongli was reluctant in his heart, because his imperial grandfather was not thin on him, so many princes and grandsons, the most painful thing for the imperial grandfather was Xiao Dongli.

Some people even say that the emperor loves the little emperor Xiao Dongli so much, is he also thinking about passing the throne to the seventh prince Xiao Sheng. Because Xiao Sheng became the emperor, Xiao Dongli had the opportunity to inherit the throne later.

And Xiao Sheng, everyone thinks that Xiao Sheng loves Xiao Dongli so much, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, the position of the crown prince must also be Xiao Dongli.

Everything, in the eyes of outsiders, seems to be natural.

"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Sheng picked up Xiao Dongli from the door, and when he saw that he was sullen, he frowned slightly, "Tell my father, is it a slave who bullied you?" ”

Xiao Dongli shook his head, "No." ”

"What's wrong with that?" Xiao Sheng asked.

Xiao Dongli's eyes were red, "Father, will the imperial grandfather die?" Everyone said, long live the emperor, the emperor's grandfather is the emperor, shouldn't he live long live? ”

Xiao Sheng held him in his arms, "It's your ninth birthday in a few days, don't think too much." When the time comes, my father will accompany you in to see the imperial grandfather, and the imperial grandfather will be very happy. ”

"But the emperor's grandfather vomited blood." Xiao Dongli burst into tears, "Father, I can't bear to be grandpa." ”

Xiao Sheng's eyes narrowed in shock, "What did you say?" Grandpa Huang vomited blood? What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

"The imperial doctor said, Imperial Grandpa-" Xiao Dongli hugged Xiao Sheng tightly, "Father, can you save Imperial Grandpa?" I don't want anything to happen to Grandpa. ”

"Vomiting blood?" Xiao Sheng's eyes were fierce, "So, it's coming?" ”

"Father, what are you talking about?" Xiao Dongli asked.

The expression on Xiao Sheng's face immediately softened, and he smiled, "It's nothing, don't worry, with the imperial doctor here, your imperial grandfather will be fine." What's more, my father will definitely send someone to protect the imperial grandfather, and look for famous doctors all over the world to diagnose and treat your imperial grandfather. During this time, you go to accompany the imperial grandfather more, if you see the imperial grandfather writing or something, remember to tell your father. ”

"Why?" Xiao Dong was puzzled.

Xiao Sheng said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang is not in good health, if he writes or something, it will inevitably affect his rest." You don't want Grandpa Huang's health to get worse and worse, do you? Wouldn't it be good if you told your father that he would admonish him? You must know that we were born in the royal family, and many times your imperial uncles and uncles want your imperial grandfather to die. ”

Hearing Xiao Sheng's low voice and gritting his teeth, Xiao Dong shuddered from his body, "Why?" ”

"You're too young to understand that. It's right to listen to your father, do you believe your father? Xiao Sheng sighed lightly, his face burning.

Xiao Dongli nodded, "What Li'er believes in the most is his father." ”

"That's it." Xiao Sheng took his hand, "Everything my father has done is for the sake of leaving his son and for the emperor's grandfather." Therefore, Li'er must believe in his father, and his father will not let anyone hurt your grandfather. ”

Xiao Dongli took a deep breath, "Thank you, father." ”

It's just that Xiao Dongli didn't expect that from that day on, all the royal forest troops in the palace would be replaced by Xiao Sheng's henchmen. The emperor saw these things in his eyes and knew them in his heart.

At that time, Shangguan Feng was only a scholar, and at most he drafted excerpts for the emperor. When the emperor almost wanted to make Xiao Zan the crown prince, Shangguan Feng directly told Xiao Sheng.

The overall situation has been decided, Shangguan Feng is used to being smart, so he naturally knows that this gamble must be placed on Xiao Sheng. Xiao Sheng has a heavy army in his hands, and he is ruthless, if he ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, he will inevitably survive and perish.

Shangguan Feng, I can't afford to lose.

In the secret room, Xiao Sheng pressed the drafted holy decree with one palm, "He is trying to force me to death." ”

"The emperor is dying, once the eleventh prince is appointed as the crown prince, it means that the throne will be passed to the eleventh prince. The Seven Princes should prepare early, and they will not count until the holy decree is issued. Shangguan Feng got up.

"You mean, let me force the palace?" Xiao Sheng narrowed his dangerous eyes.

Shangguan Feng's face was pale, "Xiaguan doesn't mean this." ”

Xiao Sheng sneered, "You are very smart. ”

"Fu Li has a heavy army in his hands, and he is quite powerful in the DPRK, if he can join forces with him, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Shangguan Feng walked out unhurriedly.

"But without an edict, how can you ascend the throne as an emperor?" Xiao Sheng cut his teeth.

Shangguan Feng straightened his body, his eyes were cold, "The emperor is unwell, and he has already returned to heaven before he has time to leave a testament, which is really a great misfortune in the world." What's more, the emperor loves the third young master of the Seven Princes' Mansion, which is also a thing for all to see. As long as the Queen Mother is willing to hand over the dragon and phoenix seal, who else in this world will say half a word? ”

Xiao Sheng snorted coldly, he was really a scholar, and the intrigues and tricks in his head were really numerous.

Fu Li was originally a military general, and Fu Sheng, a son on his knees, heard that the Fu family was a single passer. So as long as you get Fu Sheng, this Fu family is still obedient?

Xiao Sheng's eyes were cold, this world will definitely be his.

"I heard that your lady is about to give birth?" Xiao Sheng looked up.

Shangguan Feng frowned slightly, "Yes." ”

"Congratulations, congratulations. If great things can be accomplished, I will definitely make you prime minister and let you assist the government. Xiao Sheng had a wishful thinking in his heart. Shangguan Feng has a good brain, the means are sufficient, and when the new dynasty is established, he must need a talent like him.

"Then the lower official, I will thank the Seventh Prince first." Shangguan Feng saluted, his eyes cold.

The city was besieged by heavy troops, the emperor was dying, and the court was never at peace. Even the people of the Eastern Capital are panicking.

Shangguan Feng returned to his bachelor's mansion, put away the fatigue and coldness on his face, and put on a gentle smile and walked quickly towards Hongyu Pavilion. In the courtyard of Hongyu Pavilion, a pink figure stood under the maple tree, picking up the red maple leaves that flew down with the maids under his hands.

The red maple is like fire, and the woman is smiling.

"Little Shadow!" Shangguan Feng shouted.

The woman looked back with joy, and it was this glimpse that was enough to teach people to make a heart-to-heart promise. Clever smile, looking forward to brilliance. The eyelashes are slightly raised, and under the mottled shadows of the trees, they are like fairies, not stained with dust.

She stood there, with a nine-month-old child in her belly, smiling like a child, and called softly, "Xianggong." ”

Idle and idle, flying down to the homes of ordinary people.

She is a flower shadow, a woman on the tip of Shangguan Feng's heart, and a smile is enough to be shocking. Gentle as water, standing faintly under the red maple tree, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

"Let's all go down!" Flower Shadow smiled.

The people below all retreated, and Shangguan Feng stepped forward quickly, "Why don't you have a good rest?" ”

"I'm tired and panicked lying all day long." Hua Langying smiled, "The child is about to be born, and the doctor said that it is good to walk more." ”

"During this time, the East is not peaceful." Shangguan Feng gently took her into his arms, "Don't go out easily." ”

"Even if the eastern capital is peaceful, I won't go out." Hua Langying smiled, "Others don't know, you and I should always know." I don't dare to teach others to see my identity. Otherwise, it will bring disaster to you. Now that I have our children, I don't dare to act rashly. ”

Shangguan Feng nodded, "One day, when I am in power, I will definitely not teach you to suffer this grievance." When the time comes, you can go out if you want, and I will accompany you wherever you go. ”

Hua Rongying smiled, "Xianggong, do you like boys or girls?" ”

"A son and a daughter are the best." Shangguan Feng stroked Hua Langying's belly, "In this way, if you have both children and daughters, I won't ask for anything." ”

Hearing this, Hua Langying's eyes darkened slightly, "Xianggong, I-"

Seeing that his beloved wife's complexion was slightly sick, Shangguan Feng immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, "It's okay, it's okay whether it's a man or a woman." As long as it's yours, as long as it's a person. ”

Hua Langying frowned slightly, "All the nonsense, is it possible that I can still give birth to a monster for you?" ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Feng looked at her and smiled stupidly.
