On the evening of December 15, the weather was overcast, and a thick haze seemed to be hanging over the air.

The emperor fell into a coma for several days, and the imperial physician announced that he was powerless and would die soon.

For a time, the entire palace was controlled by the queen and the five princes.

The rest wanted to see the emperor but couldn't.

The next morning, the fifth prince appeared with a document stamped by the emperor himself, and asked everyone to call him the crown prince.

The two princes and the party did not believe it, and asked to see the emperor but was rejected by the prince of Wu and the empress party on the grounds that the emperor was seriously ill and should not be disturbed.

There were even ministers of the DPRK and China who came forward to testify, saying that there would be no mistake in saying that this document was written by the emperor himself.

On the night of December 16, the second prince and the general of the Zhu Kingdom led troops into the palace on the grounds of King Qin.

At this point, the two princes' faction and the five princes' party fought in the palace in the dark.

At this time, Xiao Jingyao, Prince An and Xiao Jingzhen were sitting in the study of King An's mansion.

There is a bright yellow figure sitting on the top of the study, who is this person who is not the emperor of the Great Zhou?

Several people sat opposite each other, and they were relatively silent for a while.

But the Fu Gonggong behind the emperor lowered his head and looked trembling.

It was obviously winter, but the strange thing was that there was a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

He didn't know how he came to Anwangfu, only that he was forced by the queen's mother to help them speak, and he was tied up by the queen's people as soon as he refused.

I thought I was going to die, but what I didn't expect was that I woke up and came here.

The emperor's face was not much better at this time.

It's just that compared to his previous sick appearance, he looks red at this time, as if his body is visible to the naked eye.

"Ahem!"

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Jingyao couldn't help it, coughed lightly, and then gave Prince An a look.

Wang Ye An pursed his lips slightly, glanced at Xiao Jingzhe, who was sitting, and saw that he was indifferent as if he didn't exist, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Cough, that father, you are in a hurry! We also had to invite you in this way, please forgive me! King An said cautiously.

In front of the emperor, he subconsciously was still the unruly prince, and his tone of voice was still a little coquettish and flattering, which was completely different from what he usually did in front of Xiao Jingzhen and them.

The emperor gave his son a deep look and snorted lightly.

He discovered the difference between his most humble son at an early age, and understood how difficult it was for him to survive as a prince without a strong background.

But what he didn't expect was that he had such a great ability, and even there were his people under his nose.

Not only that, but his people were able to evade the guards of the queen's people and take him and Gonggong Fu out of the palace.

"When did you put eyeliner in the palace?"

"Uh......" Prince An hesitated slightly, but still replied truthfully: "Some of the people in the palace are left behind by my mother, and the other is ...... Concubine Hui is a son of the minister! ”

"Concubine Hui!?"

The Emperor looked at his son in disbelief, as if he had only known him today.

"Hmm." King An nodded, "Father may not know that Concubine Hui and my mother are from the same place, and my mother saved her life before Concubine Hui entered the palace!" Later, when Concubine Hui gave birth, if it weren't for my mother, she was afraid that she wouldn't have survived. ”

"My mother's status is low, and no one knows about it."

"Later, my mother died! I'm helpless, and Concubine Hui has been helping me behind my back! ”

"And later, the eldest brother disappeared on the battlefield again...... Does the father know how the eldest brother is gone? Not at the hands of the enemy, but by the sword of his own people. ”

"And the people behind it...... It has nothing to do with the queen's party and the second prince's party. ”

Hearing King An talk about his eldest son, the emperor's face inevitably appeared melancholy.

The eldest prince is his most optimistic child, honest and honest, kind and filial.

But he lost his life in the battle with southern Xinjiang more than seven years ago.

What happened at the beginning, he may not have the intention of angering the Xiao family.

And after Concubine Hui went to the boss, the whole person became depressed, and later she closed the door and directly established a Buddhist hall in her palace.

If it weren't for the third child mentioned it today, he would have forgotten that there was such a person in his harem.

"Eh......"

The emperor couldn't help but sigh deeply when he thought of this.

King An looked at the already gray-haired emperor, and couldn't help but say, "Father, does the emperor feel that his spirit is better at this time?" ”

"Hmm."

The emperor felt it carefully, and indeed felt that his body was much better, and he couldn't help but look at King An with some doubts.

King An said: "The decoction and medicine that you have been given these days have been changed by the retainers!" ”

"The Empress and the people of the Five Emperors have drugged your decoction, and drinking this medicine will not do you any good for your illness! Not only that, but it will also make my father's body heavier and heavier until he falls unconscious! ”

"So, Erchen asked people to secretly change something else in your decoction, although the symptoms are similar! But that's all good medicine for my father's body! ”

Hearing this, the emperor and Fu Gonggong glanced at each other.

Father-in-law Fu didn't say a word, and quickly lowered his head.

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched.

He already knew the queen's thoughts, so he didn't drink those medicines at all!

His own body knew that even if he drank medicine, he wouldn't live long.

However, looking at King An in front of him, he felt a lot more relieved, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Jingzhen and Xiao Jingyao's brothers, and his eyes were puzzled.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyao got up and saluted the emperor, "Xiao Jingyao has seen the emperor!" The emperor is wondering how our brothers are together? ”

The emperor didn't say anything, just looked at him with a pair of old eyes.

Xiao Jingyao briefly explained the process of his acquaintance with King An.

As soon as his words fell, he heard the emperor say: "When the third child took away the documents of the Xiao family's third brother who collaborated with the enemy, I was still puzzled!" Now I understand, it turns out that you have known each other for a long time! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jingyao and King An couldn't help but freeze.

Even Xiao Jingzhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously.

"Hey......"

At this time, I heard the emperor sigh deeply and explained: "I have been good brothers with your father for many years, and you children can be said to have grown up under my watch!" What is the character of your father and mother, and what is your character, and how can I not know? ”
