In the Xuanguo Palace.

"Fifth Prince, what's going on? Why hasn't the emperor woken up yet? Queen Rong asked tremblingly.

"Don't worry about the queen, the imperial doctor said that the emperor is not worried about his life, but he has not found an antidote until now." Xuan Li said.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the ministers have already returned to Beijing, if the emperor does not go to court early, it will cause the people in the court to be unstable in the country." Zuo Xiangfang said worriedly.

"Just announce that the emperor is infected with an infectious disease and no one can be seen, how about delaying the army for a few more days?" Right Prime Minister Qinzhong said.

"Two or three days is fine, but if it's too long, the outside world is now starting to suspect ......," Mr. Hou said.

There was another person in the apse, it was Xuan Ze, he got up from his wheelchair and walked a few steps forward slowly with difficulty, and walked behind Xuan Li.

"Fifth brother, I have an idea, I don't know if to say it?" Xuan Ze said.

"Sixth brother, please speak." Xuan Li reached out and held Xuan Ze.

"All medical skills are specialized, I heard that Princess Zhuangyang of Tianzhu has a deep study of the poisons in the world, why don't you invite her to diagnose the emperor?" Xuan Ze paused and said.

"I've heard about it, too." The waiter's eyes lit up.

"No, the imperial doctor of Xuan Kingdom, his medical skills are among the best, how can he trust outsiders?" Queen Rong said.

"Yes, if the news that Princess Zhuangyang came to treat the emperor spread, wouldn't she not confess herself, and the outside world would think that the emperor was seriously ill." Qin Zhong said.

"Although what the right minister said is reasonable, but as of today, the emperor has been in a coma for three days, wouldn't it be worse if it goes on like this, rather than this, it is better to ask Princess Zhuangyang to give it a try." Hou Fang said.

Everyone was arguing in the apse, and suddenly Cheng Yu hurriedly entered the house to report, "Empress Dowager Li has arrived!"

I think that when the emperor abdicated, the whole ** was quietly dismissed, only Xuanze's mother-in-law Empress Dowager Li stayed in the palace, but she was devoted to the Buddha, except for the days of ancestor worship, almost did not come out of her palace, and suddenly heard her coming, everyone was secretly surprised.

Empress Dowager Li, dressed in green clothes, entered the apse with the support of the palace maid.

"The emperor is still sick, you should share state affairs for him, why are you arguing here endlessly, and the voice is heard outside the house?" Empress Dowager Li said with a serious face.

Everyone reacted and stepped forward to salute.

"I have the edict left by the emperor, you can do it according to this!" Empress Dowager Li took out a golden edict from her arms and unfolded it.

Everyone stepped forward to take a look, and the edict said this: My princes are still young, if there is an accident in Xuanyuan, Xuanli will be on top, and if there is an accident, Xuanze will be on top, and so on......

"Impossible!" Empress Rong screamed: "Empress Dowager Li, you haven't left the palace for so many years, how can you have this edict?" Whether this edict is true or false is uncertain. ”

Empress Dowager Li chuckled and said, "Empress, if it's fake, why don't I just skip Xuanli and write my son Xuanze?" Also, please take a closer look, this edict also has Emperor Yuan's own signature, the meaning of the emperor, every person who is on the top must do this, even the prince of Xuanli must also sign this edict to ascend the throne. ”

Everyone took a closer look in the direction of Empress Dowager Li's finger, and sure enough, above Xuanyuan's name, there was Xuanyuan's signature, which was unique and could not be imitated by others.

"Your Majesty, you are just sick, and you don't have to worry about your life, so you must not mention the abdication." Xuan Li paused, and then said, "Also, I won't agree to the top. ”

Liu Jiang, the national teacher who had been silent on the side, walked up to the Empress Dowager Li, saluted and said: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, princes, lords, I have a way, everyone sees that this will work, before the emperor is sick, the five princes will be regent to preside over state affairs, and after the emperor is well, how about making a final conclusion?" ”

Empress Dowager Li said: "Liu Guoshi's method can be described as the best of both worlds. ”

"That's the best thing to do right now." Xuan Ze also said.

"Prince Xuanli is righteous and attaches great importance to brotherhood, the Queen Mother can rest assured, we will do our best to help my Xuan Dynasty get through the difficulties. Share worries for the emperor. Qin Zhong stepped forward and said to Empress Dowager Li.

Hearing that everyone said this, Xuan Li turned to Queen Rong and said, "Please take good care of the emperor, and when the emperor's illness is cured, I will still only be my prince." ”

Empress Rong suddenly sobbed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, when will you wake up?" ”

On the morning of the second day, the ministers in the main hall whispered.

"What else do the ministers have to do?" Xuan Li asked.

"What are you going to do with the assassin who assassinated the emperor, Lord Regent?" Someone asked.

"Rest assured, the ministers will be treated with the state." Xuan Li said expressionlessly.

In the imperial study, Xuan Li said to Xuan Ze: "Sixth brother, you will accompany the sixth princess more these days, she is about to give birth, you don't have to worry too much about the emperor's affairs, I will find a way." ”

"Fifth brother, what should you do if you are looking for a shallow matter?" Xuan Ze asked worriedly.

"Yang Qing has been gone for a few days now, there should be news in a few days, for now, it can only be like this." Xuan Li said with a wry smile.

In Xuanguo's prison, Zeng Linshi asked Liu Taishou through the iron fence: "Liu Taishou, do you regret helping me like this?" ”

"I don't regret it, for the sake of Lord Lin, it's worth my death." There was no regret on Liu Taishou's face.

"Linglong girl, I'm really sorry to involve you." Zeng Linshi said to a stunning woman next door.

The stunning woman chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Childe, Linglong's life was saved by you, it's yours, Linglong is willing."

The three of them were talking, only to hear the cell door open with a "bang", and a few prison guards came over, opened the door and said, "Lord Jing arraigned the prisoner, let's go." ”

Zeng Linshi smiled lightly at Liu Taishou and Linglong and said, "I'll go first." ”

In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Zeng Linshi had a cruel smile on his lips: "Lord Jing, why do you use this method to torture me, it is better to give me a good time." ”

Qin Jing sneered a few times, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a loud announcement outside the hall: "Prince Regent Xuanli has arrived." ”

Before the words fell, Xuan Li came in from outside the hall, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed when they saw it.

Xuan Li walked straight to Zeng Linshi, stared at him quietly, and after a while, asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zeng Linshi swallowed a mouthful of blood in his mouth, and said without blinking: "Lord Xuanli, do you remember that there was a Taishou named Lin Tianfang in Qingcheng for more than ten years?" ”

"Are you referring to the Lin Taishou who died in prison for embezzlement?" Xuan Li asked.

"That is called Lin Tianfang Taishou is my father, he is a loyal and upright person, he was defiled, but after Emperor Xuanyuan ascended the throne, he was directly put on death row and finally died in prison. Pity his wife and his young children. Do you know how their orphans and widows lived? Later, when the child grew up, he learned that his father was killed by the current emperor, how could the emperor be so careless about human life? You say that I can't repay this hatred that hurt my father? Zeng Linshi said.

"Zeng Linshi, the heinous crime you committed by assassinating the current emperor is unforgivable, and what you said cannot be used as a reason to avoid your death penalty. Rest assured, after your death I will arrange for someone to re-investigate your father's affairs, and if your father is truly defiled, I will rehabilitate him.

Zeng Linshi's eyes overflowed with brilliance, and he stared at Xuan Li and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, even if I go to the underworld, I will not forget your great kindness." ”

"That night in Guilin Town, you were the one who assassinated me, right?" Xuan Li suddenly asked.

"It's a lot of offense, especially if I accidentally injured the shallow girl, I'm really sorry for her." Zeng Linshi let out a long breath.

Xuan Li turned back to Qin Jing and said, "Treat him well." He shall not be punished again, and he shall be beheaded after three days. ”

The prison guard was about to go down, and suddenly Zeng Linshi said: "Fifth prince, the person you are worried about will be fine." ”

Xuan Li motioned for the prison guard to stop, approached Zeng Linshi and asked softly, "Do you know her?" ”

"It seems that the prince still has a lot of things that he doesn't know, when the emperor wakes up, please ask the prince to ask the emperor in person." Zeng Linshi said with a smile.

There was an unbelievable look in Xuanli's eyes.

"If the prince sees her again, please bring her a word, although I Zeng Linshi took advantage of her, I'm sorry for her, but since she left Xuanguo, the debt I owe will be paid off......"
