In November of the ninth year of Yuanqing, the prince died, and after the abolition, he died of "excessive grief", and the Son of Heaven also suffered frequent asthma and was bedridden.

According to the records of later historians, Emperor Gaozong of Dalong adhered to diligence during his reign, and for more than ten years, regardless of the cold, summer, rain and snow, the early dynasty did not stop, only Yuanqing could not stay due to illness in the winter of the ninth year, and there was an example of a boycott of the dynasty.

On this day, the princes and nobles, civil and military courtiers were courted according to the time, but they were not allowed to go to the royal gate, and they heard that the Son of Heaven was sick, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while.

The fact that the Son of Heaven was suffering from a hidden illness was not widely publicized, and this time he suddenly fell ill and terminated the early dynasty for the first time, which inevitably made people panic.

Everyone knows that the Son of Heaven is diligent in governing the government, and if he is not forced to do so, he will never stop the court, can it be said that the Son of Heaven is seriously ill?

The storage position is empty and the dragon body is in danger, which is definitely not a good thing for a country.

But it may not be that the Son of Heaven has set up a suspicious array to test whether several princes have the intention of competing for the prince, so although the courtiers are worried about it, it has not yet reached the point of chaos.

Yu Feng and Su Yi, the two sons of heaven, have become a channel for many courtiers to explore the truth, outside the Zhengyang Gate, the two were surrounded by the crowd, but the people who inquired were not easy to ask directly, so the people who dealt with them were even more vain.

Zuo Xiangwei Ji easily pulled Yu Feng aside from the encirclement of several waiters, and just asked, "I heard that the prince was on duty in the palace last night?" Seeing Yu Feng suddenly wave his hand and stride forward, Wei Xiang was stunned for more than ten breaths, sighed in frustration, and wondered, the son of heaven is so obscure, is the son of heaven really seriously ill?

Yu Feng suddenly saw King Qing with King Fu and was about to board the car of King Qing's mansion.

When he glanced at it from a distance, he saw that King Fu's expression was very solemn, and a touch of cunning quickly flashed across King Qing's face.

Shizi's heart suddenly felt uneasy, and a very subtle feeling made him not have time to think about it, so he raised his foot and rushed over.

King Fu had already stepped on the saddle with one foot, and when he heard someone shouting behind him, he stood still and turned back.

King Qing also turned around, and in the early morning daylight, which was not too bright, there seemed to be a dull mist in his eyes.

"Yuanyang, I'm inviting my second brother to sit in our mansion, why don't you go with Yuanyang?" It was King Qing who spoke, he was behind him with one hand, and he spoke very eagerly, only giving people the feeling that he was perfunctory.

Yu Feng arched his hand at King Qing, and looked at King Fu, and when he was closer, he saw the heaviness between King Fu's eyebrows more and more clearly.

"I also happen to have something to find His Royal Highness the King of Fortune, what a coincidence." Yu Feng pretended not to notice King Qing's perfunctory, and planned to push the boat down the river and be an uninteresting person.

"It's me who has something to discuss with my fourth brother." How do you know that King Fu opened his mouth and politely refused, and smiled apologetically at Yu Feng: "I have to let Yuanyang wait for a while, this matter is over, I will visit the Chu King's Mansion again." ”

Yu Feng was slightly stunned, and looked at King Fu a little suspiciously, but saw that he bowed his head quite firmly, so he had to say "It's okay", and watched King Fu board the car and go away, and the prince did not let go of his brows for a while.

The extremely inexplicable and bad premonition in my heart was like the wet and thick cold air in the morning, which kept pressing on my chest.

When the two princes arrived at the inner study of the Qingwang Mansion, just after the beginning of the morning, the room was still a gloom, and the lamps and candles needed to be lit.

The two brothers filled their stomachs, the maids made hot tea again, and after King Fu tasted half a lamp, he told the story of yesterday's interrogation of Ai.

"Second brother, look, what I said that day is true, the fifth brother does harbor evil intentions!" King Qing was full of anger, slapped the table heavily, and pointed to the yak horn carved dragon wrench on the case.

King Fu has suspicions in his heart, but he also knows that if the real murderer is indeed the fifth prince, once Ai is detained, this matter can only be concealed for another day or two, in order to prevent the old five from being vigilant and making up for the destruction of the evidence, he must take the lead, so he rushed to "negotiate" with King Qing today, in fact, to test whether this matter is King Qing's conspiracy, blame the old five, provoke him to compete with the old five, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"How many people has Ai confessed, I don't know if the eyes and ears of the fourth brother can be among them?" King Fu took out a list from his sleeve pocket and handed it to King Qing.

If Ai Shi is King Qing's person, of course her confession is given by King Qing, and the person she is offering must be drawn up by King Qing, in fact, the names on the list are all fictitious, King Qing must know that King Fu is tempting after reading it, and he will inevitably change his expression, or surprise, or understanding, or ridicule, and there will always be a leak or two.

Therefore, King Fu secretly paid attention to King Qing's eyebrows.

But I didn't see King Qing's expression change.

He just read the list carefully, and shook his head: "My eyes and ears are not in it, and at this time, I will not hide it from the second brother, I can tell you his real name, as well as several staff members who discussed with the fifth brother that day, he listed them one by one." After speaking, King Qing got up, turned to the bookshelf on the side, raised his arm to take down a book, and pulled out a list.

King Fu didn't see the mockery that the corners of King Qing's lips raised when he turned around.

In fact, King Qing didn't know the people who contacted Ai's family, and he really didn't see that King Fu's list was fake, but when he was designing, he had already planned that King Fu would not believe his words, and he would inevitably suspect that he was behind the layout, so that King Fu and the five princes could fight, so it was good, because King Fu was jealous, for fear of stepping on his trap, he would not tell others about the conspiracy he knew about and revealed in advance, and the next play could continue to sing, so that the world, especially their father, would believe it.

The more cautious and suspicious King Fu is, the less he will rashly unite with King Qing, and I have to say that King Qing's insight into people's hearts is indeed unique.

King Fu looked at the list handed by King Qing, and his eyebrows were as deep as locks.

Ai Shi actually did not confess what staff members were discussed and calculated that day, which is also reasonable, if she is really a pawn of Concubine De's mother and son, she should only know the people who are in contact, at most they are eunuchs and palace maids, or house slaves, where will the names of the cronies and staff of the Five Princes' Mansion be found out one by one, but if King Qing's list is conclusive, as long as the case is handed over to the Zongren Mansion and these people are arrested and tortured one by one, there will always be people who can't hold it and will confess, of course King Fu doesn't believe that King Qing has such a ability, and can buy the cronies of the five princes one by one.

At this time, the weighing rod in King Fu's heart was already biased towards King Qing, and his suspicion of the five princes increased.

He was about to speak, but suddenly saw King Qing's body shake, his face was pale in vain, and he seemed to gasp twice, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

King Fu was shocked......

Because the two princes were talking secretly in the study, they dismissed their subordinates, and King Qing only let his cronies stand far away at the foot of the study steps, and deliberately opened the doors and windows in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

The cronie was bored when he suddenly heard a muffled sound in the room, as if someone had suddenly fallen to the ground, and subconsciously turned around.

"Your Highness!" An exclamation completely broke the quiet morning of King Qing's Mansion.

——

In the Guan Sui Garden of the Chu Palace, Yu Feng returned worriedly, and had just finished a round of housework in the morning, accompanied the old princess to finish breakfast, and was walking in the forecourt Merlin The beautiful scene met the scene.

But he didn't notice it in time, and almost passed by.

Yi Jing was smiling and preparing to talk, seeing this situation, he was very puzzled, and pulled Yu Feng's sleeve, only to remember that he should still be in the early dynasty at this hour, and should not have appeared at home, and hurriedly asked what happened.

Yu Feng was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He can't say that watching King Fu and King Qing return hand in hand, he has an ominous premonition for some reason, and always feels that something bad will happen - even if King Qing has bad intentions towards King Fu, he will not blatantly harm his own mansion, Yu Feng thinks that his sudden premonition is really rootless.

Retired from the attendants, and walked up to the high pavilion with Yijing, Yu Feng said that the saint suddenly fell ill and retired from the court.

"Is it panting?" Yijing immediately asked.

The disease of the Son of Heaven was not publicized, but the two who came over certainly remembered the ninth year of Yuanqing in the previous life, around this time, the prince was assassinated and confused, and the Son of Heaven was bedridden.

Gaozu and Taizong all have asthma, even the eldest princess also has this disease, Yu Feng and Yijing heard the word "hidden disease", and they thought that the saint today is also suffering from asthma.

"It should be." Yu Feng said: "The Holy Dragon's body is worried, but the reason why it was announced in the previous life should be to push the third prince to the throne as soon as possible, and this time, it ...... The departure of the third prince from the country dealt a heavy blow to the saint, but I am afraid that the saint is really a little powerless. ”

In other words, the Son of Heaven was somewhat watery in the previous life, and this life is really critical.

Yu Feng expected to be good, when the prince was assassinated in the Yingyuan Garden, although the Son of Heaven was bedridden for a period of time, but he did not die until the twelfth year of Yuanqing, and in the ninth year of Yuanqing, it was far from critical, and it was last night, the Son of Heaven suddenly fainted, and just woke up this morning.

Jiang Qinggu and the imperial doctors have a sentence that they dare not say clearly, the Son of Heaven is afraid that it will be difficult to survive this winter, and it will be time for spring to return to the earth.

The selection of a new prince is imminent, but what happened in King Fu's Mansion is clear, and it is inseparable from King Qing, at this urgent time on the cusp!

Therefore, Yu Feng was worried about King Fu and King Qing suddenly getting close.

"My brother-in-law will come to our house later, and I will return home early in the morning to wait for him." Yu Feng said.

But on this day, he did not wait for King Fu to visit.

About half an hour later, Yu Feng and Yijing had just returned to the atrium study, when they saw Xia Ke entering with no face, and reported a bad news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

——

The Weiguo Mansion, which is separated from the Chu Palace, was only early in the morning, and a carriage was parked at the corner gate.

It turned out that she was invited to the suburbs of Zhuangzi to have a miscarriage, and Aunt Xue, who had already raised her body, returned home today.

Naturally, I wanted to go to Herui Garden first and greet Mrs. Huang.

The Huang family's planning did not hurt Aunt Xue in the slightest, although because of the Li family's loyalty and did not show his feet, but he witnessed Wei Guogong's love for Aunt Xue, the Huang family was greatly hit, and even hated the lowly but favored concubine in front of him, which was difficult to suppress.

"You are really, since you are innocent and framed, even the grandfather of the country has forgiven you and allowed you to give birth to an heir, why are you so stubborn?" Huang smiled coldly: "Pretending to be moderate, don't say I didn't remind you, as a woman, the most important thing is the heir, that is what you rely on, otherwise one day, you will be depressed and relaxed, and you can only end up alone." ”

This is almost the most obvious and mean words that Huang has said over the years, completely tearing the skin, and he is no longer willing to be false to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue didn't pretend to be the only one anymore, but smiled: "Thank you for the mention of the concubine, but the concubine is convinced of the promise of the princess, as long as the concubine abides by her duty, the princess will not let the concubine be lonely, the princess was originally for the sake of the concubine's loyalty, and he pitied the concubine's poor background, so he was willing to take in the concubine to live in peace in the mansion and enjoy the glory of this brocade and jade food. ”

The loyal owner is not against the Huang family, but the Cui family, Wei Guogong was indeed because he saw that the Cui family was weak and easy to bully, and fortunately there was a Ji Xue around to protect her, so he was saved from many humiliations, and he admired Ji Xue very much, and because Ji Xue was abducted and trafficked by people since she was a child, she didn't even know her own surname, and she had no parents and family to rely on, and her life experience was really pitiful, so she felt pity.

Since he knew that the Huang family wanted to assassinate Yijing, Wei Guogong no longer dared to underestimate the selfish methods of the women in the house, and he was also worried that if Ji Xue had an heir, he would gradually become greedy, which would not be conducive to the peace of the house, so he did not want to let Ji Xue leave an heir, but he was willing to give her a lifetime of prosperity, promising that if Ji Xue kept his duty, even if he died in the future, the prince and his wife would be pure-hearted, and they would allow Ji Xue to live in the Guogong Mansion and not be lonely.

And Ji Xue bluntly used these words to refute the Huang family at this time, which was simply another sharp knife in the Huang family's heart.

The two of them are concubines, and they swear by the mountains and the sea!

Huang watched Ji Xue leave with burning eyes, and before his anger subsided, he saw Mama Lan stumbling in, and reported anxiously: "Madam, something big has happened, His Royal Highness King Fu ...... I heard that he was poisoned in Prince Qing's mansion...... It's no longer ......"

Mama Lan's voice fell, but she saw Huang holding her placket and laughing, and said hello again and again!

Mama Lan was frightened, and suspected that the Duchess of the Kingdom had hysteria, is this crazy?

Huang stopped laughing for a while, his eyes were full of gloom, and he snorted coldly-Su Yi, you treat me like this, it's very good! In the blink of an eye, you will have retribution, and your eldest daughter will be widowed! It should be Prince Qing who has done it! Su Yi, one day, I will make you repent of not being at the beginning, kneel in front of me and beg for repentance, crying bitterly!
