In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor looked sick and tired.

Several important ministers of the court came to see the emperor early in the morning, first, they really had important matters, after all, the emperor had not been in court for many days, and second, they also wanted to quickly explore the emperor's physical condition, so they had a good preparation and plan.

After Su Rong entered the palace of nourishing the heart, he saw the appearance of the emperor, and thought that the illness was like a mountain, and the illness was like a thread, and a few days ago he looked at the emperor who was still in good spirits, and in a short period of time, because of the big case of the precious concubine, he fell ill all of a sudden, obviously because of the internal injuries that hurt the lungs, which is not easy to raise.

The emperor's status is noble, coupled with the pampering, the body and bones are more delicate than ordinary people, and the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor of the Tai Hospital must be mostly conditioning medicines, so that the disease is slow to heal.

However, Su Rong didn't plan to meddle in the emperor's illness, and Yan Echo didn't plan to let her interfere, otherwise when the emperor was unconscious, someone would have gone to Dongsi Hutong to invite her.

She greeted the emperor and shouted, "Uncle." At the same time, he handed the food he was carrying to his father-in-law who was waiting on the side, "I brought you some snacks outside the palace." ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately smiled, "What kind of snack is it?" ”

Su Rong said: "Inherit the pastries of Zhai." ”

The emperor said: "This is very famous, I ate it a few years ago." It's rare that you bought me this. He smiled and said to his father-in-law on the side, "Bring it to me." ”

The father-in-law should have tested the poison with a silver needle, put it in a delicate snack plate, and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor pinched a piece and tasted it, and said to Su Rong with face: "That's the taste, the five-kernel flower cake that inherited the Zhai, your mother also loved to eat it before." ”

Su Rong smiled.

The Emperor motioned for her to sit.

Su Rong sat down and watched the emperor eat a piece of five-kernel flower cake, and wanted to eat another piece, but was stopped by his father-in-law who was waiting on the side, saying that he was afraid that His Majesty would not digest it if he ate too much, after all, he had just eaten breakfast not long ago, and he would accumulate food carefully, and he would take medicine later, if he ate too much, he would not be able to eat the medicine.

The emperor reluctantly withdrew his hand and waved it to his father-in-law, telling him to withdraw.

After the father-in-law left with the plate, only Su Rong and the emperor were left in the hall, and the emperor sighed to Su Rong, "Hey, everyone is good for the emperor, gold and jade, brocade clothes and jade food, to get the wind, to get the rain, to respond to the rain, a sentence can affect people's life and death, as everyone knows, the emperor also has a lot of helplessness, even eat an extra piece of pastry, there are people in charge, every time you do something out of the ordinary, there are imperial historians who stare at the impeachment unrelentingly, and there are also historians who record it, so that I can save my body three times a day." ”

Su Rong nodded, "Indeed, my uncle is really hard. ”

The emperor shook his head, "The inheritance left by the ancestors cannot be destroyed, if it is destroyed in my hands, I will be a sinner through the ages, and I will have no shame to go to the imperial tomb to see my ancestors in the future." Even as an emperor, you can't do what you want, and there are times when you make mistakes. ”

He looked at Su Rong, "Regarding the matter of how to deal with the precious concubine, I just want to ask you, after all, according to my knowledge, she is also your senior sister." ”

"She and my master have long since broken off." Su Rong said: "However, even if you break off your relationship, in the end, it is my master's daughter, my master is under Jiuquan, I must be very worried about her, I hope she is well." ”

She understood what it meant that the emperor did not close the case for a long time, one was indeed sick, and the other was nothing more than reluctance, the so-called most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, it was indeed reluctant to lose the beauty fragrance, so she asked her opinion, otherwise it would have been disposed of a long time ago, why bother to ask her? After all, she has no relationship with the precious concubine.

The emperor said, "What you say is reasonable. ”

He sighed, "It's not easy for your master to teach you once, I'm your uncle, but I haven't been as good as your master to teach you the ability to settle down, I really feel ashamed." And the precious concubine is pregnant with my imperial heir in her belly, since this is the case, the two together, I will spare her life! ”

Su Rong didn't shake his head or nodded, "The concubine is your uncle's person, you are in charge." ”

The emperor said: "In such a big case, I am the emperor, but I am not the only one who has the final say. He asked Su Rong again, "Regarding the eldest princess, what do you think I should do?" ”

Su Rong didn't expect that after the emperor asked the precious concubine, he also asked her about the eldest princess, she looked at the emperor, "Uncle, you just need to consult with the courtiers." ”

The emperor said, "I just want you to talk about it. ”

Su Rong thought to himself, didn't you want me to say, you don't want to give the eldest princess to death, right? I was afraid that the prince would be dissatisfied, so I was asked to speak. What she was thinking in her heart was not obvious, and when she saw the emperor asking, she deliberately thought for a moment and said what he liked to hear, "Since the concubine can spare her life, and the eldest princess also has the emperor's heir in her belly, it is good to spare her life." Uncle is benevolent, God has the virtue of a good life, and the unborn baby is innocent after all. ”

The emperor was satisfied, "What you said is reasonable." ”

After inquiring about the disposition of the precious concubine and the eldest princess, the emperor said: "Do you know that the old protector took Zhou Gu into the palace yesterday, saying that Zhou Gu will not participate in the palace examination, and plans to travel for three years, and ask for my approval." I agreed. ”

Su Rong nodded, "I've heard him mention it." ”

The emperor said: "It's okay for him to travel for three years, but I listen to him, and it may be possible to go to Southern Chu." ”

Su Rong looked at the emperor.

The emperor tested her, "If he goes to Southern Chu, what do you think about him?" Why don't you leave him in Nanchu to help you? Zhou Gu is both civil and military, he is still very talented, when you first go to Nanchu, you must always have someone who can be relied upon, Zhou Gu's kid should be more reliable than others. ”

Su Rong said: "If he really goes to Nanchu, just don't make trouble for me, I don't ask him to help me much." ”

The emperor immediately smiled, "You kid, why do you have such a big opinion about him?" Although you have withdrawn from the marriage, but if you think about it, because of your mother's relationship, she is also your cousin, although she is not as close to you as the prince, but with this relationship, he is not an ignorant person, and he can't hold you back. ”

Seeing that Su Rong was silent, he said: "The Southern Chu Dynasty is complicated, even if you have the help of the Night Phase, but the Nightshade Mansion also has its own purpose in the end, and while helping you, it is inevitable that you will consider your own interests." Zhou Gu is different. If he goes to Nanchu and is willing to stay, you can ask him to stay in Nanchu for more time to help you. Anyway, everywhere is experience, and today's Nanchu is a good place for experience. ”

Su Rong seemed to be moved by what he said, "That's what you said." ”

She nodded, "If he doesn't hold me back, if he really goes to Nanchu, if he is willing to stay in Nanchu for a few more days and is willing to help me, then stay!" ”

The emperor smiled, "That's right, as the princess of Southern Chu, the future king of Southern Chu, you should use all the people you can use, don't bring personal emotions, you know, as an emperor, there is no liking or dislike, only the country and the country." ”

Commuter pass, what's it?
