"The old ministers have been waiting here for a whole day, a whole day! Why didn't the emperor see him? ”

"If this is true, then it must not be left alone! Why didn't the emperor ignore such an important state matter? ”

An old minister who had been silent and had a dignified face suddenly squeezed up, staring at the palace people who came to deliver the message. "Could it be that the emperor is unwell again?"

One stone startles a thousand waves.

The emperor was poisoned before, although the news was suppressed, but there are still many people in the court who know about it. Although there is no evidence to prove that it was done by the Fifth Prince and Qian Guifei, there is no need for evidence, but anyone with a brain can guess it.

In the harem, the old prince and the princess were imprisoned, and then the news of the injury of the little prince was reported. If this coherent affair is just a coincidence and there is no conspiracy, who believes it?

Now these old ministers have blocked the palace gate, but the emperor has avoided it, and only saw Xiahou Xunmu, the prince of the first country, this practice is too suspicious.

Although the people of Xiaogong know every adult, they have never encountered the situation of being surrounded by these old ministers. For a while, I just froze there, and I didn't know what to do.

"And what do you want?" Xiahou Xunmu clasped his hands in front of his chest, his face was indifferent and calm, and his eyes were cold and cold. "This prince has already come to explain in person, and your emperor is also willing to listen to this prince's explanation. He doesn't want to see you, it must be his consideration, you lords are surrounded at the palace gate, and I heard that it is a group of old ministers, it will inevitably make people feel that you are coercing with your identity, how can the emperor feel happy? ”

"You!"

A group of old ministers were so angry that they blew their beards and stared, but they couldn't help Xiahou Xunmu. If it were an ordinary envoy, it would be fine, but he was the prince of a country.

It is precisely because they are old ministers that they are not as hot as when they first entered the court, and they know how to weigh the weight of interests, so they know more that this is a pivotal position, and they know that this is a figure who dare not offend.

Seeing that these old things didn't speak, the palace people invited Xiahou Xunmu into the palace gate again. The old minister who had questioned it before stood up again, "Wait. ”

He walked up to the palace man and straightened his back.

"Even though His Royal Highness is reasonable, the old ministers still asked to meet the emperor. This matter is not trivial, His Royal Highness wants to explain to the emperor that it is His Royal Highness's business, and the old ministers ask to see the emperor, which is the matter of the old ministers. Since the emperor wants to see him today, he will see him together. The old ministers also wanted to hear His Highness's explanation of this matter, after all, this is Dong Yuan, and we are all subjects of Dong Yuan. ”

Xiahou Xunmu's cold eyes shrank slightly. "What your lordship means is that if this prince wants to enter the palace, then you must also enter the palace together. If the emperor doesn't see you, then don't want to see the prince? ”

Although all the ministers present did not speak, they all acquiesced to this statement. The people in the small palace were so anxious, "Don't embarrass the slaves, my lords, the emperor did say that he only saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the First Kingdom." Adults are so embarrassed by the slaves, the slaves are not easy to explain! ”

Probably because the one just now gave everyone enough confidence, and these old ministers actually opened their mouths in unison and recognized this statement.

Xiahou Xunmu laughed coldly, and his laughter completely angered this group of old ministers.

"What are you laughing at!"

Xiahou Xunmu put away his smile before saying: "When I was in Yiguo, this prince heard that the old ministers in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty loved to rely on the old and sell the old, but the Eastern Yuan Emperor couldn't help them, so the Eastern Yuan state affairs were two or three percent controlled by you old ministers. Now it seems that what this prince heard is true, you old ministers will indeed rely on the old and sell the old. ”

"You!"

"Xiahou Xunmu, don't be too complacent!"

"Prince Xiahou, you are stepping on the world of Eastern Yuan, so don't be too ostentatious in your words and actions."

……

Sentence by sentence of denunciation directed at Xiahou Xunmu, the people of the small palace were so frightened that they ran away, that is, Xiahou Xunmu, standing there like a person who had nothing to do, only showing murderous spirit when he was most impatient, and drinking back this group of old things with bloodthirsty eyes.

At this time, the palace.

The fifth prince was pacing back and forth in the hall, and Concubine Qian, who was sitting taller, was annoyed to death by his anxious footsteps, and finally shouted impatiently: "Enough, they are all people who want to achieve great things, why don't you know how to be calm and steady at all!" ”

"How calm and steady I am now!" The fifth prince pointed in the direction of the palace gate, "Those old things are blocking the palace gate, you also heard what they said, the mother concubine, the father will not leave if he doesn't see them, and the father will see them together!" ”

The fifth prince pointed in another direction, which was a screen. "Where can I see people like that father is now! As long as those old ministers enter the palace, I am afraid that the matter will not be hidden at all! ”

"I can't hide it for a long time!" Qian Guifei slapped her hand heavily, "It should be foolproof, but now something is wrong!" ”

The fifth prince snorted coldly, "If it weren't for my uncle's people who couldn't arrive for a while, why didn't you have to wait until the fifteenth day of the first month to do it." It's good to start first, so that you can save the trouble of Mr. now, and it is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose......"

"Shut up!" Qian Guifei's face turned pale, "Who do you say is not enough to succeed?" That's your uncle! If you want to achieve great things, do you think that just relying on Xiahou Xunmu and Huo Xing is enough? These two people are older foxes than the other, and the only one you can rely on in the end is your uncle! ”

Qian Guifei stabilized her mind, "Who leaked the secret, or who is secretly making trouble?" ”

"It's useless for the concubine to guess here, you still have to let Xiahou Xunmu come into the palace to ask. If it weren't for the sudden upheaval, otherwise why would we be embarrassed here, just ask someone to ask, and save Xiahou Xunmu from coming over this time, and let those old things kick their noses in the face. ”

"You!" Qian Guifei really had a headache, if she wasn't sure that the fifth prince was born by herself, she would have to turn her face first.

"Mother, you have to think of a way, you can't let them stay outside the palace gate all the time, and then those poor people will talk nonsense again."

"Shut up!" Qian Guifei was really annoyed, grabbed the tea cup in her hand and threw it at the feet of the fifth prince. "If you're going to be the emperor, can't you have a little bit of talent? Everything has to rely on this palace, how long can this palace let you rely on? ”

Scold......

A mocking smile came from behind the screen, and the face of the fifth prince Qian Guifei changed greatly, and the two rushed inside together, seeing that the person lying on the dragon bed was really awake.

"Father woke up, I thought about it, I still drank less medicine, and I didn't let you sleep to death directly."

In just a few days, the Emperor of Dongyuan seemed to be a different person, and the spirit of the palace banquet was long gone, at this time, his eyes were sunken and his face was blue, and the whole person was even thinner than before. His hands and feet were intact but he couldn't move, only those eyes could still stare at people, left and right, and only that mouth was like a stranded fish opening and spitting.

Qian Guifei showed a little disgust, and the five princes were even more reluctant to look at it again.

"Mother, it's better to ......"

“…… They...... Come in......"

The Son of Heaven said a sentence with difficulty, and the only words that could be heard clearly in a high and low tone were these four words.

Qian Guifei sneered: "You're like this, do you still want to see those old things give you ideas?" ”

The emperor coughed weakly twice, and then breathed a long sigh of relief before saying, "Steady...... Popular support. ”

Qian Guifei smiled more and more arrogantly, even the five princes did not have the slightest pity.

"Father, the world is about to change, and the throne is about to become a son's minister, you only have this breath left, don't save it well, what do you have to worry about?"

The fifth prince dared to say this while the emperor was a dying person, and in the past, he was looking for death.

The emperor let out two muffled laughs from his throat, and the laughter was indescribably desolate and sarcastic, and the five princes and Qian Guifei were uncomfortable when they heard it.

"Have you laughed enough?" Qian Guifei was annoyed and angry, "Come on, the emperor is awake and bring the medicine!" ”

This medicine ......

Whenever the emperor woke up, the first thing Qian Guifei did was to give him medicine. I had never thought that this was a femme fatale before, and although it was found out early that there was a problem with his diet, Qian Guifei was able to throw the blame on others. He trusted this woman too much, but he didn't expect it to end up in her hands.

Although Aunt Li was in the palace, she had been strictly guarded since she rescued him last time, that is, she was brought over to give him medicine to prop up her body two or three days before the palace banquet. Now that the palace banquet is over and Aunt Li has been taken away, he is naturally useless, and the poison in the medicine has doubled, so in just a few days, the emperor of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty has been tossed like this.

The door of the temple was pushed open, and someone came in, carrying a bowl of soup and medicine in his hand. When the emperor caught a glimpse of the man, he opened his mouth and was about to shout, but the fifth prince sat down on the edge of the dragon bed and said in front of the palace people: "Father, don't think that you can call people in, inside and outside this palace, and even the entire palace, are now all the people of the sons." ”

After that, the fifth prince took the bowl of medicine, pried open the emperor's mouth and poured it in. During this period, the emperor was choked twice, and almost lost his breath.

A bowl of decoction was poured down, and the emperor fell asleep again. The fifth prince casually grabbed the bright yellow handkerchief next to the emperor's pillow, wiped the decoction that had been spilled on the back of his hand, and threw the handkerchief to the ground.

Qian Guifei's gaze fell to the ground with the handkerchief, and then lifted it up again and placed it on the fifth prince. What he said was that the most important thing now was to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people. Those old things can only let them come to the palace first. ”

"What about after entering the palace?"

Qian Guifei's face was ruthless, "Those who know the times are handsome, if they are blindly stubborn, then they are the same as the two in the Chengwang Mansion, and after you ascend the throne, you will be killed!" ”
