As soon as these words were spoken, they caused a thunderous sound almost instantly, and Xu Lan raised her head violently, staring straight at Ji Chen.

Ji Chen didn't avoid her gaze, but looked back as a matter of course.

"You...... If you say that, who am I supposed to believe? ”

"No one can be trusted, only yourself."

Xu Lan originally wanted to say something more, but looking at Ji Chen's calm and clear gaze, the rest of the words almost disappeared.

"Okay, no matter what, it was you who stopped me today and didn't let me do stupid things, I, Xu Lan, have always been one yard to one yard. I apologize to you. Xu Lan has never been a stingy person, Ji Chen treats her so sincerely, she is not good at being the little daughter by herself, I saw her stand up straight, look at Ji Chen sincerely, and salute.

Ji Chen didn't accept him, Ji Chen's body turned sideways slightly, avoiding Xu Lan's luggage.

"You don't have to salute me, I'm not just for you, it's more for Xu Zhen, after all, you are his sister, as his best friend, now that he is seriously injured in bed, I will always take care of you."

Xu Lan heard this, but couldn't help but be silent, and after a while, Xu Lan said: "Then you have to go and see Brother Zhen'er, he has been lying in bed for several days, maybe your best friend has passed, and he will be better." ”

When Ji Chen heard Xu Lan say this, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you can take me over to take a look at him." ”

Xu Lan nodded, led the way in front, took Ji Chen, and went all the way to Xu Zhen's courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I was greeted by a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which lasted for a long time in the whole courtyard.

Ji Chen frowned when he smelled this smell and said, "Has the imperial doctor been here?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

"The imperial doctor naturally came, but he didn't say any tricks, he just said that he was resigned to fate and took care of it." Xu Lan also looked gloomy.

Hearing this, Ji Chen was also silent, and the two of them were speechless for a while, just standing by the bed, quietly looking at Xu Zhen's pale face.

"Don't worry too much, Xu Zhen has always been auspicious, and this time he will definitely spend it safely."

Xu Lan thanked him for his kindness and said, "I'll borrow your auspicious words." I am also praying to heaven that my brother is safe. ”

After a while, Xu Lan suddenly asked, "Do you know Cui He, the eldest son of King Cui?" ”

Hearing this, Ji Chen glanced back at Xu Lan. Unhurriedly, he said: "I naturally know this, why did you suddenly ask this?" ”

Xu Lan lowered her head, pondered for a while, and said, "I want to ask, what do you think of Cui He?" ”

When Ji Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said: "Cui He has always been modest and cautious, and his reputation is extremely good both in the capital and among the scholars in the world. ”

Xu Lan was unwilling to hear this, she gritted her teeth and asked, "I know, but this is just what everyone knows, I just want to ask you, what about his private character?" ”

If Xu Lan asked before, Ji Chen was just indifferent, but now when he heard Xu Lan's question, his face often showed a little interest, and he only heard him say: "Why did you suddenly ask this?" Could it be that you have fallen in love with the eldest son of King Cui and want to marry him as his wife? ”

When Xu Lan heard Ji Chen teasing herself, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and shouted angrily: "Don't say such things, I don't have that kind of mind!" “

It's just that Xu Lan's angry look fell in Ji Chen's eyes, but it changed to a different meaning, only to see him smile mockingly, and said: "I don't know what Cui He's private character is, but I know that if he wants to be a husband, he is a very good candidate." It's a pity that you are the concubine of King Xu, and Cui He is the eldest son of King Xu, I'm afraid this portal is a little wrong. ”

When Xu Lan heard this, her face was almost swollen red, and she only heard her gritted her teeth and said: "You don't want to be sneering here, you don't just say it, why humiliate me like this, I used to think that you had a little kindness, but now it seems that you are just a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!" ”

It's just that this time Ji Chen heard Xu Lan's words, but he didn't quarrel with him anymore, he turned around and stared at Xu Lan coldly, looked at it for a while, and when Xu Lan was weak for a while, he threw away directly.

However, Xu Lan stayed there in a dilemma, and after a long time, she stomped her foot fiercely and said, "Phew, they are not good people!" ”

King Xu's Mansion experienced a lot of chickens and dogs early in the morning, but King Xu, who was far above the court, experienced another kind of bloody rain.

Originally, this morning, the palace first came with the news of the emperor's deterioration of illness, and the ministers and princes originally thought that the court would be canceled this morning, but unexpectedly, with the news, it was another message, and the court continued this morning.

In the capital, the people who mingle with this deep pool, none of them are human spirits, and when they heard the news, their thoughts were immediately passed on thousands of times.

When King Xu heard the news, he stood in the study for nearly a quarter of an hour.

In fact, when King Xu first entered Beijing, although he was indifferent to fame and fortune on the surface, he didn't want to get close to the imperial court. But King Xu himself really knew in his heart that he still had a trace of desire, wanting to stir up this troubled water in order to gain a trace of dragon merit.

After all, this sentence has not changed since ancient times, King Xu has important military power in Biansai, and the emperors of all dynasties have not looked close and friendly when they look at King Xu's mansion.

But if King Xu can successfully stand on the right team, choose a prince and support him, then the situation of the prince ascending the throne as the emperor of the palace of Xu in the future can be greatly improved.

It's just that King Xu knows how to deal with people very well, he knows that if he hurriedly stirs into this muddy water as soon as he enters Beijing, then the people in the capital are not vegetarians, and King Xu's foundation in the capital is still shallow, so if he acts rashly, he will be grabbed by people and pulled down the abyss.

Therefore, when Prince Xu began to enter the capital, he put on a posture of not talking to anyone and not participating in any court affairs, and even told Princess Xu not to make excessive friendships with the nobles of the capital, but to try her best to maintain her neutral position.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and when he thinks of this, King Xu hates it and clenches his fists.

King Xu's son Ding is thin in this generation, only Xu Zhen has one son, and the rest are two girls.

It was the kind of daring man who came to assassinate his son, who is still lying in bed, seriously wounded and unconscious.

Every time he thought of Brother Zhen'er's pale face, King Xu hated itchy.

However, the only good thing about this matter is that because his son was injured, King Xu had a reason to intervene in the affairs of the capital in a righteous and bright way to mix in the troubled waters.

In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless.

King Xu had been standing in the study for a long time, and the sky was gradually getting brighter, and he stared at Ji Chen in the distance, thinking of hatred in his heart.

So when I went to court today, although everyone was harmonious on the surface, the confrontation in the secret was that you came and went, obscure and intensive.

Because the emperor's illness worsened yesterday, today it was the crown prince who acted as the government, but unexpectedly, as soon as he came on the field, someone made a mistake first.

"Ministers, do you have something important to report?" I saw the prince sitting on a chair under the dragon chair, his face was tired, and his expression was extremely pale, thinking that the emperor was seriously ill last night, and the prince also served in front of the bed all night.

Before the words fell, I saw a minister come out to fight, bowed down and said: "Prince Qiqi, the minister has a doubt, the minister was at the Qianqiu banquet yesterday, and the emperor was still in good spirits. And the imperial doctor also said recently that the emperor's health has improved, how did his condition suddenly deteriorate overnight, the minister is really worried, I think the prince served in front of the emperor for a long time yesterday, can the prince tell the minister to wait for a while, so that the minister can rest assured! ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, it was very centered, and they were accusing the emperor openly and secretly, the emperor was sick today, and someone in the palace wanted to assassinate the emperor, especially between the words, it was directed at the current prince.

When the prince heard this, almost instantly, a glimmer of gray light flashed in his eyes, but he endured it, still rubbing his brows and saying tiredly: "Lord Lin's words are not right. The father's illness has been repeated, it is difficult to completely cure, even the imperial doctor can not have a complete certainty, saying that the father will definitely get better, but in recent days, the capital has snowed heavily, the father must have been yesterday's Qianqiu banquet, in the outdoor wind cold, so the night will suddenly be seriously ill. I'm a son, and I'm even more worried, and I can't wait to replace him. ”

"The prince is virtuous and filial, who doesn't know, yesterday when the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, seeing that the prince looked tired, he wanted to come and serve in front of the bed for a long time. When some people have ill intentions, the emperor is seriously ill, and they come up to find fault and ask for an explanation and the truth as soon as possible, which is really chilling! ”

At this time, it was another minister who stood up, I saw that he was in good spirits, his face was extremely dignified and steady, although he said that he did not squint, but the words he said made people hate itchy.

Of course, the first minister who stood up at the beginning naturally understood the hint in these words, and couldn't help but turn red, and stood back with his face hidden.

Because of this small episode, the entire court was almost silent, and no one said a word more, for fear that people would seize the handle and loopholes.

King Xu's original idea was that he would not show his head in the court today, just wait and see how deep the water in the capital is, and how many forces are fishing in troubled waters, but the sky does not follow people's wishes, although King Xu said that he did not want to participate in it, but some people did not want to watch this prince sit and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

"The cause of the emperor's illness is still unclear, but this aggravation of the condition can only be considered, after all, there is nothing trivial about the emperor. The condition has worsened, it may be that there has been heavy snow in the capital for several days, and the temperature has dropped suddenly, but it may also be man-made. ”
