In the following period, Emperor Hua Yuan began to frequently summon the four princes Fengshou.

The Five Princes were also summoned once, but compared to the Four Princes who had been in the Blue Dragon Hall almost all day in recent days, they were very inconspicuous.

Even the eldest prince didn't pay attention to him.

Because of Emperor Huayuan's recent actions, the eldest prince was completely panicked.

Concubine An Guifei is in a high position and has been entrenched in the harem for many years, and her power is not comparable to that of a concubine like Concubine He, who only knows how to live behind closed doors.

Even if Emperor Huayuan concealed it well, with his henchmen in this harem and his understanding of the emperor for many years, Concubine An Guifei also checked the current situation of Emperor Huayuan.

She probably understood that Emperor Hua Yuan's health was not very good.

It's just that this is not very good, and she still doesn't know how bad it is.

The main thing is that she knows that Emperor Hua Yuan is not satisfied with his son.

He wanted to choose another heir.

And in the current situation, it is obvious that the fourth prince Fengshou is the heir he values.

Concubine An Guifei sat on the chair and looked at the henchmen beside her: "Spread the will of the palace, the palace occasionally feels cold today, misses relatives, and let the mother of the palace enter the palace to talk to the palace." ”

The palace people took the order and retreated.

An Guifei lowered her eyes and gently looked at her nails dyed with bright red Kodan, and laughed.

Your Majesty, you don't look down on my son.

I don't look down on other people's sons.

……

Suzaku Hall.

Ah Zhao and Emperor Hua Yuan sat opposite each other and played against each other.

Ah Zhao is not proficient in chess, anyway, the two of them are not here to play chess today, so she simply doesn't want to count anything, and she can do whatever she wants.

Emperor Hua Yuan shook his head helplessly: "You girl, playing chess with me is also so perfunctory." ”

Ah Zhao smiled: "Anyway, no matter how serious I am, I am not your opponent, uncle, so it is better to lose a little more chic." ”

Emperor Hua Yuan smiled.

This little girl in front of me is really rare.

She is reckless and comfortable, not at all like a person in this deep palace, with a kind of fresh air that women in this palace do not have.

He thought that if he was ten years younger, when he was still healthy, it would be difficult not to be tempted to meet such a girl.

It's a pity that now......

Ah Zhao glanced at Emperor Hua Yuan opposite, even if he hung himself with secret medicine, his face had already fallen now.

There is already a faint ominous look.

She slowly flicked the chess pieces with her fingers, and said softly: "Recently, Your Majesty has frequently summoned the four princes, do you think you have an idea?" ”

Emperor Hua Yuan's pale face showed a slight smile.

……

February of the 28th year of Huayuan.

It was the right spring day of the year, but the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into a gloomy fog.

His Majesty is seriously ill and dying.

After all, the effectiveness of drugs is limited.

Emperor Hua Yuan's body inevitably declined, and now it is difficult for even the last dynasty to continue.

Recently, he has often summoned the ministers of the humerus to discuss secretly, and everyone knows that this is to discuss the matter of the prince.

This day is early.

Emperor Hua Yuan sat on the dragon chair, looking at Shang Ke in spirit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today, I am ready to announce one thing, the country cannot be ......"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do!"

Emperor Hua Yuan's words paused.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the old minister who stood up, and smiled meaninglessly: "What is Zuo Yushi's so-called?" ”

The old minister with gray temples was in excellent spirits, and his tone was sonorous: "The minister wants to impeach one person!" ”
