Emperor Yufeng looked at the gradually darkening sky, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

The palace lamps were lit up by the palace people who were quietly shuttling in turn, and the hall was brightened, and it seemed that the sky outside was getting darker and darker.

And Emperor Yufeng sat in this bright palace room, revealing a heavy twilight.

The world has a lot of misunderstandings about him, not only about his sensitivity and wisdom in government affairs.

In fact, there is also the royal throne.

Everyone thinks that he picked up a big bargain in the cracks, because it just so happened that the princess he married was a general who later made great achievements in the border pass.

The first emperor was so excited that he let him be crowned king before the other brothers.

And then the queen's mother family is also really powerful, and several big victories in a row are enough to make him among the excellent brothers, and finally the snipe and clam compete, and he got that cheap.

These are all seen by outsiders, and in fact, how he defeated those two pieces of waste step by step, only he knows.

His life can be regarded as smooth sailing, except for one thing......

He looked at his finger again, and his eyes were already cold.

After so many years, he still hasn't found out how bold he is to plant this thing in his body.

He thought it was Empress Yuan, but it wasn't until she passed away that he understood that the woman was probably really wronged.

Another palace man quietly arranged his dinner in the next room, and then quietly retreated.

It's his habit to not like anyone in front of him when he eats.

All the food is made of sterling silver utensils, and it is served in bowls and plates with the same delicacy.

But he only glanced at it twice, moved it twice at will, and then got up and went directly to his room, where there was a gossip lotus platform, and he had to meditate on it for half an hour every day.

It is obviously an empty and bright hall, but at night it is always filled with an indescribable strange atmosphere.

The so-called concubines of the harem......

In fact, it has been many years, Emperor Yufeng has not touched any woman again, and even the four new ones who entered the palace before just came to sit for half a night and went back, and then gave them the title.

There is such a strange emperor, and the ministers in the court often don't know what the king means, which is a common thing.

Zhang Shoufu is like this now.

The fall of the three princes, in fact, in addition to the crown prince, probably the happiest are Zhang Shoufu and the Zhao family.

But at this time, his old man was sick.

It's not a major illness, but it's just a small problem caused by being old and experiencing some exciting things.

But the people who came to the door these days seemed to reveal different meanings.

The eldest man of the Zhang family sat in front of his father's bed with a hesitant look on his face.

Zhang Shoufu was eating the soup in the bowl, and said lightly, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"Father, now His Royal Highness has been unable to lift his spirits because of the matter of his mother's death, and the affairs in the court are just the time when people want to bother, and the person surnamed Xie has been busy these days, father, you are still ......."

Master Zhang's gaze fell on the medicine that had been cooled over there.

He couldn't figure out what his father meant, and he even had a child's temper at this time, and he refused to take medicine properly, and the more this time, the more careful he became.

Although Xie Maocai is not from the prince's faction, he is not a member of the Three Princes' Party, a pure minister, wouldn't he just be able to win over the prince?

What's more, there is also an adopted daughter who has been very favored in the East Palace recently.

Zhang Shoufu handed the bowl in his hand to the maid on the side, took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, as if he was considering how to speak.

After his son waited for a while, he said, "What do you think of the Fang family?"

"Fang family?"

Master Zhang didn't react for a while, and he didn't even understand which Fang family his father was talking about.

"Fang Congwen's Fang family."

After his father's words, Master Zhang suddenly remembered, and then sneered and said, "Has my father been thinking too much recently?

Although Fang Wenshan is a little famous, it is only in the eyes of the world's testers, although the kid of the Fang family has a flower wave, he is still squatting in the Hanlin Courtyard! There is a fourth princess, and it is only a nominal one.

This Fang family can't get up to the climate at all, and even if it is too late to go to His Highness now, it can't be compared to our family."

Master Zhang thought that his opinion was very appropriate, but he didn't see the slightest hint of approval on his father's face, and his voice slowly lowered.

"Boss! As a father this time, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Hearing his father suddenly say this, the fruit in Master Zhang's hand was almost unstable, and he hurriedly said, "Father, what do you mean by this? Your illness is just a small problem, and if you say that it is terrible, you just say that it is said to the outside world, why do you still say such depressing words?"

Zhang Shoufu just shook his head slightly, "Forget it, I'll talk to you about this matter later, restrain the people in the mansion in the past few days, as well as your younger brothers, don't run outside if you have nothing to do, after all, I'm sick, if you make any inappropriate moves, ask the imperial history to participate in a book, and it will be difficult for your father to catch you."

Master Zhang felt that his father's words were very wrong, but he didn't know how to refute them.

What's more, although it is not serious, but my father is still lying in bed after all, and Master Zhang didn't dare to say anything more, and after serving for a while, he retreated to discuss with the staff.

Before the result was discussed, I heard that someone came to the palace, and it was sent by Emperor Yufeng to visit Lord Shoufu, after all, he was the first assistant of a country, and now he was seriously ill in bed, and the emperor naturally had to care about one or two.

Master Zhang was relieved in his heart, afraid that the previous conversation between father and son was because the old man was sick and thoughtful, and now he should be much better if he was appeased by the palace.

Who knew that on the second day, Zhang Shoufu closed the door and stopped seeing anyone, only saying that he was short of spirit, and let the people in front of him go to the government office to ask for leave.

Soon there were people in the palace again, and they also brought a few imperial doctors, all of whom were Emperor Yufeng's Long En, worried about the body of the old minister.

When the news reached King Chen's Mansion, Xie Songhua had already given Xiao Yu an injection for the seventh time.

Seeing that his pulse had completely stabilized, she was relieved, "I finally lived up to everyone's expectations and suppressed it for the time being."

Xiao Yu was still holding a book in his hand, as if he couldn't see the silver needle that grew on his body like a hedgehog's hard thorn, and his eyes only fell on the page.

"You already have some talent in this matter, and the information that Duhuo left for you, I have never doubted your ability."

Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but show a little smile, "With the trust of the prince, I can't make the slightest mistake."

"Yesterday's news came that Zhang Shoufu was seriously ill and may no longer be able to serve as the first assistant."

The smile on Xie Songhua's face immediately put away when he heard this, "Are you really going to retreat?"

It's still a bit of a surprise, after all, now that the prince is in full swing, it is the time for the Zhang family to rise.

Xiao Yu just nodded slightly, "In the past two days, your Xie family should be very lively."
