Xu Guanyi was extremely injured this time, but since he woke up and saw Yun Qian, he hadn't seen him again, which made Xu Guanyi extremely anxious.

On this day, Xu Guanyi's injuries were better, so he wanted to go to see Yun Qian, but he got lost in the garden as soon as he went out, so he stopped a passing pink-clothed maid to ask for directions.

The maid walked out with Xu Guanyi, and the little maid blinked her clear eyes and asked curiously, "You are from the capital, that highness is a subordinate, right?" ”

Xu Guanyi smiled and bowed his head, a gentleman like jade, just to leave a good impression on the people of the Yun family.

"Then have you ever met Your Highness?" The little maid asked curiously, "What kind of person is he?" ”

Xu Guan thought for a while, and then replied: "His Royal Highness is a person worth following, he is generous and benevolent, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is a good man who stands up to the sky. ”

"And what does he look like?" The little maid asked again.

Xu Guan's eyes flashed with a touch of astonishment, and he couldn't help but smile: "Men have never paid attention to appearance, but what about His Highness's appearance...... is also handsome and elegant, and his appearance is extraordinary. ”

"Then His Highness is so outstanding, there must be a lot of confidantes around him, right?"

Xu Guanyi's identity as a pair of little maids was already clear, and he shook his head with a smile: "Your Highness has always been clean and self-conscious, and there is no confidante around him, even if he has a room," After a pause, he said again: "This matter is well known in the capital, and you will know it when you ask." ”

The little maid smiled and bowed slightly, and pointed to the road in front of her: "The front is the old man's study, and the slave maid still has errands, so I won't send the son." After saying that, he bowed and turned away.

Xu Guanyi looked at her back, her eyes were thoughtful, it seemed that Miss Yun had sent someone from her side to inquire about His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.

Today's capital is not very peaceful.

Emperor Qianyuan sent people to intercept Xu Guanyi, and the guards reported that he fainted in anger for a while, his body was already seriously ill, and such a stimulus made it even worse, and he was bedridden.

Although Emperor Qianyuan deliberately concealed it, the news of his serious illness did not spread, but the boycott of the dynasty for several days still made the civil and military officials talk a lot, especially Emperor Qianyuan was a diligent emperor, and since he ascended the throne, there has never been a boycott of the dynasty.

For a while, the people in the capital were panicked, and although the people didn't know what was going on, they were sensitive to the tense atmosphere in the capital.

Emperor Qianyuan knew the current situation, but he was already holding on to his body, and in the end, Zhao Gonggong couldn't help but admonish.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xuanqi, Your Majesty's dragon body is important." Zhao Gonggong said with tears in his eyes.

Emperor Qianyuan was lying on the bed, his body was extremely weak, and he no longer saw his domineering spirit in the past: "Your Majesty, her husband is Sheng'er's companion, and now he can't be fully trusted." ”

"Your Majesty, find a lady to announce her into the palace, not to say that it is for Your Majesty to see a doctor, then Your Majesty will let her see her behind the screen, she doesn't know that it is Your Majesty who is sick, if Your Majesty is really not at ease, you can detain her in the palace to diagnose Your Majesty, so that it is foolproof." Zhao Gonggong said, "Your Majesty's body must not be lost." ”

Emperor Qianyuan thought about it, so he agreed, and soon issued an order to announce Qi Shuying's entry into the palace.

When Su Yunlai heard the rumors in the palace, his heart was chuckled, Qi Shuying didn't care much, Emperor Qianyuan was good to her, and there were a lot of favors, and he didn't feel any danger.

"Now is not the right time." Su Yunlai frowned and said, "The emperor has not been to the court for many days, the biggest possibility is that there is something wrong with his body, and this time I am afraid that the third sister-in-law will be called into the palace for diagnosis." ”

"Are you worried that it will be dangerous for Su Ying to enter the palace?" Su Zhan also had a solemn face.

Qi Shuying said optimistically: "It shouldn't be, Your Majesty was very good to me before." ”

"That's because His Majesty used to pin his hopes on you and wanted you to cure his illness, but now that you are married to the third brother, you are already from the side of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and the emperor naturally can't tolerate you." Su Yunlai said calmly.

Su Zhan was anxious: "Ah Wan, then you have to think of a way, the will of the concubine Niangniang, you can't help but go." ”

Su Yunlai looked solemn, thought for a while, and then said: "Jun Yao, you go and reply to the people in the palace first, just say that the medicine box of the third young grandmother has fallen in the eldest grandson's mansion, you have to go and get the medicine box first, and let him wait for a while, third brother, you go to the county lord of Anning, and say that you have received the news that the emperor wants to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and let her accompany the third sister-in-law into the palace together." ”

Su Zhan nodded, and walked out without saying a word.

After waiting for half an hour, the little eunuch who came to the palace to deliver the message finally couldn't wait, and Su Yunlai couldn't stop him when he saw it, so he asked Qi Shuying to follow the little eunuch into the palace.

Su Yunlai was anxious to wait, but now there was no other way, there was no news in the palace, and Su Zhan had not returned, even though she had done everything she could.

Until late at night, Qi Shuying did not come back, but Su Zhan came back.

"Third brother, how is it?"

Su Zhan looked solemn: "I don't know, I went to find the county lord of Anning according to what you said, and the county lord of Anning really entered the palace with Shu Ying, but I can't inquire about the situation in the palace now." ”

Su Yunlai frowned, there is no one in the palace now, and they don't know the situation inside, which is bad.

"In this way, let's take a look at the situation early tomorrow morning, if the third sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, the third brother, you can go to your cousin's aunt and ask her, and the minister who was good friends with your cousin before will inquire on your behalf." Su Yun said.

"But ...... tonight"

Su Yunlai shook his head: "It doesn't matter, if Your Majesty really wants the third sister-in-law to be treated, you won't embarrass her first, at least it won't be unfavorable to her now, and everything will be said tomorrow morning." ”

Even though Su Yunlai has always had no last resort, Su Zhan still can't let go, for the first time in his life, Su Zhan feels the taste of worrying about his stomach.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Su Zhan went to Lin's house.

Lin Zhengan was exiled, but his family members stayed in the capital, which was also the emperor's last grace to the Lin family.

The Lin family is now supported by his two sons, Lin Zifeng and Lin Ziang, although the Lin family is now down, but Su Zhan takes care of them from time to time, and the family is in one place, and there is finally a place to settle down.

As soon as Su Zhan came, Mrs. Lin was very happy and very enthusiastic about him, she was a person who had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and she cherished the charcoal in the snow even more.

As soon as Su Zhan said this, Mrs. Lin nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Ziang, you will follow your cousin to visit your Uncle Zhao later, your father has been kind to him, such a little favor, he should be able to help." ”

Su Zhan bowed gratefully: "Nephew, thank you cousin for your help, great kindness, nephew is unforgettable." ”

Mrs. Lin smiled lightly: "Silly boy, it's all a family, why bother to say thank you." ”

Mrs. Lin asked Lin Ziang to come forward to help with selfishness, in the past, Lin Ziang and Su Zhan had a mustard because of Su Yunlai's family affairs, and with this help, it can be regarded as repairing the brotherhood between the two, Su Zhan is Li Sheng's henchman, and I am afraid that the future is limitless.

Su Zhan followed Lin Ziang to visit Lin Zhengan's former friend, this favor was not a big deal, the other party quickly agreed, and only let them go back and wait for news.

It's just that after waiting like this, a day has passed, Qi Shuying has no news, but another news came out from the palace, and the emperor asked the four princes to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

This news was brought by Lin Ziang, Lin Zhengan was the emperor's confidant minister before, and he still had some ways, Lin Ziang has always been grateful to the Su family for helping them when they were in trouble, so he paid special attention to the news in the palace, and after receiving this information, he immediately went to the Su Mansion and told Su Zhan.

Su Zhan invited Su Yun to come over.

Lin Ziang looked at Su Yunlai's hurried steps, but the pace was very steady, at a young age, but he looked indifferent and serious, he suddenly remembered his mother's words, Ah Wan is a good girl.

It's a pity that he was blinded by others before, and he didn't have the patience to get to know her, so he missed it with her.

It's ridiculous to say that they once talked about marriage, but this is the first time they have met since they grew up.

When Su Yunlai heard the news, his expression suddenly turned cold: "The emperor is afraid that it will be bad." ”

"Ah Wan?" Su Zhan was taken aback.

Su Yunlai immediately said: "Third brother, it's time, you go to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and ask him to immediately send someone out of the city to find the young general, and he must rush to the border pass one step faster than His Majesty's people." ”

Su Zhan saw that her expression was serious and solemn, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she nodded hurriedly, "Suying is ...... she"

"Third brother, don't worry, if there is no news from the fourth prince for a day, the saint will not dare to do anything to the third sister-in-law!" Speaking of this, Su Yunlai's eyes flashed with a fierce color.

No one wants to hurt her family! No one!

Hearing Su Yunlai say this, Su Zhan was a little relieved, even he didn't know when he started to be more and more convinced of Su Yunlai, as long as what she said, it had the effect of calming people's hearts.

Giving his daughter-in-law to his reliable sister-in-law, Su Zhan was extremely relieved.

Lin Ziang stood on the side, looking at Su Yunlai with a calm and restrained face explaining what Su Zhan was doing, obviously just a beautiful, even weak girl, but when she encountered a big event, she could calm down, it was precisely because she was such a girl, so when the Lin family was embattled, she would never give up and lend a hand.

What kind of madness did he have in the first place to push such a girl out?

Now that he knows that he regrets it, is it too late?

Su Yunlai didn't know what Lin Ziang was thinking, she wanted to see Li Sheng, she still had many things to negotiate with him.

The haze of the storm is about to shroud the capital, no one knows what happened, only that on this day, people and horses are constantly going out of the city and into the city, and even the pedestrians on the streets are coming and going.

Emperor Qianyuan's own body, he knew better than anyone else, after Qi Shuying saw it, he gave the words 'terminally ill, no medicine and stone', which can be regarded as extinguishing his last trace of hope.

For the sake of prudence, Emperor Qianyuan did not let Qi Shuying out of the palace, if his physical condition was known to the outside world, things would be out of control, and he had not yet arranged for the four princes.

Emperor Qianyuan couldn't wait, and immediately issued an order to announce the return of the four princes to Beijing, on the other hand, he planned to act like Li Sheng, and Li Sheng's life was no longer spared.

As soon as Li Sheng dies and the four princes return to Beijing, he will appoint the four princes as the crown princes, and if time permits, he can also take his son hand in hand and hand over this splendid country to him.

Only then will he be able to smile at Jiuquan.

On the way to Xuzhou, several groups of people and horses galloped rapidly, and several horses ran to death, but no one stopped to rest, and now they have to race against time, whoever arrives first wins.

The order they received was to rush to Xuzhou as quickly as possible, maybe even they didn't know that the news they carried was enough to affect the future fate of the country, they only knew that it was faster, and it was faster.

Gu Junyan has always been a little uneasy, it is a kind of instinctive perception of danger that only people who have experienced life and death on the battlefield have.

He used to take out the letter that Su Yun had written to him, it was the last correspondence between the two, his eyes were complicated, and finally called: "Guanyi ......" As soon as the words came out, he remembered that Xu Guanyi had left, so he said: "Yi Wu, prepare for war!" ”

Yi Wu was stunned for a moment: "Young General, but the Great Liao people didn't attack." ”

It's almost the New Year, the weather is cold, and the people of Daliao are also going to celebrate the New Year, so Xuzhou can be said to be calm these days.

"Prepare for battle!" Gu Junyan shouted loudly.

Yi Wu didn't know why, but he still said solemnly: "Yes!" ”

Da Liao attacked Xuzhou City overnight, Xuzhou City was trapped, the official road was blocked, and it became a lonely city for a while.

The people sent by Emperor Qianyuan tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't get in touch with the four princes in Xuzhou City, let alone bring him out of Xuzhou City, so they had no choice but to return to their lives.

The four princes failed to return as scheduled, which was the biggest change in Emperor Qianyuan's plan, and the four princes did not come back, but the battle report of Xuzhou City came back.

The Great Liao Army sent troops to attack Xuzhou City, the border pass was in danger, Gu Yanshan wrote a note to Emperor Qianyuan, and he would definitely lead the Gu family army to fight bloodily, and he would not let the Great Liao people break through the gate of Xuzhou!

After Emperor Qianyuan finished reading the recital, his eyes darkened, he covered his chest, and coughed violently, Zhao Gonggong took out the medicine with trembling hands and gave it to him, but now, this pill has no effect, and Emperor Qianyuan did not have the slightest effect after taking it, but coughed more and more.

"Time, life." A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Emperor Qianyuan's mouth, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Father, I haven't been able to calculate you." ”

The border pass is in danger, and if Emperor Qianyuan attacks Li Sheng again at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Gu Yanshan worked hard in front, but the emperor killed his nephew, at this time, no matter whether Li Sheng came out with any good news, Gu Yanshan was not going to fight Da Liao, but Emperor Qianyuan.

Even before, Emperor Qianyuan deliberately designed to discredit Li Sheng, he couldn't mention it, Li Sheng's previous bitter plan was useless, even if he had the intention to guide public opinion, but Li Sheng's counterattack was also very fast, just one, Li Sheng went to Dali Temple to beat the drum to complain, asking for an investigation into the case.

Emperor Qianyuan is still holding on to this matter.

What's more, Emperor Qianyuan didn't dare to take this risk, the Great Liao was eyeing each other, if there was internal strife among them at this time, the Great Liao people would sit on the profits of the fisherman, and at that time, he would be a sinner in danger for his own selfish desires.

He was a father, but also an emperor.

Emperor Qianyuan knew that the four princes would not come back, and Gu Yanshan would not let the four princes return to Beijing.

At this time, Prince Zhuang went to the fold again, and cautiously asked his imperial brother, I don't know when I can let Miss Qi out of the palace, the county lord of Anning has been feeling a little unwell recently, and I heard about Qi Shuying's name, so I have to let her come to diagnose her.

This younger brother has always been messing around, but at this time, he came to make trouble for him, but Emperor Qianyuan was still on the right track, and he didn't know how long he could protect him, so it was up to him for such a trivial matter.

Even if Emperor Qianyuan knew that this was just a name for Li Sheng to rescue Qi Shuying, but now, these little things are no longer important, Qi Shuying can't save him, the four princes can't come back, and it won't be useful to keep her.

Qi Shuying left the palace safely and returned to the Su family, and saw Su Yunlai standing in the second gate waiting for her, and when she saw Su Yunlai, she couldn't help but walk quickly in front of Su Yunlai.

"Seventh sister." Qi Shuying called out in surprise.

Su Yunlai smiled slightly: "Welcome the third sister-in-law home." After a pause, she couldn't hide her distress: "Let the third sister-in-law be frightened." ”

Qi Shuying grabbed Su Yunlai's wrist intimately, and said indifferently: "Where am I frightened, I am not the guts of a mouse," after a pause, she asked suspiciously: "Seventh sister, how did you get the county lord of Anning to help me?" ”

Su Yunlai bent the corners of his lips, smiled mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "I asked the third brother to tell the county lord of Anning, saying that the emperor intended to marry His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, but that girl suffered from a hidden disease, and this time you entered the palace to treat that girl's illness, and the county lord of Anning is worried that you will cure people, so you will marry His Royal Highness, so naturally he will spare no effort to sabotage you to treat her, seeing that you have been staying in the palace, she will definitely not be able to sit still." ”

Qi Shuying suddenly realized, looked at Su Yunlai with a relaxed smile, and said admiringly: "Seventh sister is really smart!" ”

The two sisters-in-law smiled when they met, and after hanging their hearts for many days, they finally let go.

The news that Emperor Qianyuan was seriously ill spread more and more fiercely, and the ministers went to inquire about the emperor's physical condition, and soon someone noticed that Qi Shuying had entered the palace before, so they inquired about Su Mansion.

Many people have taken the path of Mrs. Su and Su Zhimin, that is, even the fourth old man Su Zhiming, who has never asked about housework, has been so annoyed that he can't even leave the house.

Qi Shuying was annoyed, but it was not easy to refuse, and finally simply avoided the guests, the excuses were ready-made, because she violated the family rules a few days ago, she felt guilty and uneasy for fear that the ancestors and ancestors would blame her, she blamed herself, so she was locked in the yard and copied the family rules to show her vigilance.

Makes Mrs. Su so angry!

At this time, Yun Qian, the former Taishi who had long since retired, suddenly wrote to the emperor, and now that the dynasty is in turmoil, Li Sheng has grown up, and the emperor should appoint a prince to calm the hearts of the people.

Yun Qian is worthy of being a veteran of the Three Dynasties, highly respected, as soon as he came forward, the old ministers left by the emperor seconded the proposal, and asked Emperor Qianyuan to make Li Sheng the crown prince.

Emperor Qianyuan boycotted the dynasty for many days, and the people were already panicking, and even the ministers promoted by Emperor Qianyuan did not say anything at this time, but waited and watched, and they also wanted to know the physical condition of Emperor Qianyuan.

Emperor Qianyuan had no choice but to deal with this matter, not only could not respond, but also found a high-sounding reason to refuse, coupled with the war at the border pass, there were too many things to deal with, and his body gradually could not support it.

Emperor Qianyuan leaned on the side of the bed, still looking at the fold in his hand.

Zhao Gonggong said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's dragon body is important, these folds will be dealt with tomorrow." ”

If Gonggong Zhao didn't dare to talk to Emperor Qianyuan like this before, but now Emperor Qianyuan is just a lonely and seriously ill old man.

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "I don't know if there is any tomorrow." ”

Gonggong Zhao knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty also has to think about the Fourth Highness, Fourth Highness, he ......"

Speaking of the four princes, Emperor Qianyuan couldn't help but be a little stunned: "I don't know what happened to the second child......

Probably the end is approaching, he suddenly remembered the son who was given up by him, obviously he used to have high hopes, he once wanted to pass on the throne to the second prince, but he didn't expect that this son, who was favored by him since childhood, would eventually go further and further.

Emperor Qianyuan remembered his father, is it the same for his father, everyone has their own selfishness, even for their son, but he is not favored by his father, the first prince is.

Emperor Qianyuan closed his eyes and slowly leaned on the head of the bed: "I'm tired." ”

Zhao Gonggong's eyes were sour, almost shed tears, he served Emperor Qianyuan for more than 40 years, when Emperor Qianyuan was still a prince, he followed him to serve, Emperor Qianyuan was strong all his life, never said that he was tired, this was the first time he heard Emperor Qianyuan say that he was tired.

He is also really tired, he was a prince in the first half of his life, and he worked hard to get his father's love; In the second half of his life, he was the emperor, shouldering the common people of the world, and paving the way for his son.

Maybe all the people who sit in that position will not be able to live for themselves all their lives.

Emperor Qianyuan did not approve for a long time, Yun Qian played again, this time he united the joint excerpts of nearly 100 officials, and asked Emperor Qianyuan to make Li Sheng the crown prince and enter the East Palace.

Su Zhan has been busy in the Changsun Mansion for the past few days, and he hasn't been home for several days, so he finally went home to change his clothes in a busy way, and by the way, he told Su Yun about the situation outside.

Su Zhan looked at Su Yunlai's eyes glowing, and couldn't stop approving: "Ah Wan's move is really wonderful!" I really admire my brother by using the war at the border to make His Majesty throw a mouse and don't dare to kill the killer! ”

Su Yunlai smiled slightly and did not answer.

Previously, she had used Emperor Qianyuan to suppress the four princes, so that he did not dare to make a move against Qi Shuying; Later, Emperor Qianyuan's murderous intent towards Li Sheng became more and more obvious, but no one could suppress the emperor.

So Su Yunlai thought hard and meditated, and finally let her come up with something that could make Emperor Qianyuan jealous, that is, the safety of the border pass, and the people in the world.

Now that the big thing is about to be accomplished, Su Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's that Old General Gu seems to be a little dissatisfied, saying that he has fought for so many years, and it is the first time that he pretends to be the Great Liao Army to sneak attack him, which is really too embarrassing for him." ”

The sneak attack of the Great Liao Army was that Su Yunlai had already written a letter to Gu Junyan, asking him to pretend to be the Great Liao Army and create the illusion of turmoil at the border when necessary.

I didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good.

Su Yunlai smiled, looked at Su Zhan and asked solemnly, "Is the matter already decided?" ”

Su Zhan bowed slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Master Yun's letter, it can't be decided before the year, and it should be decided after the New Year." ”

Su Yunlai's spirit was shocked, and he slowly showed a smile.
