Seeing that An Chuxia really didn't seem to know Lan Xuanjiu, Si Heng's eyes were even more confused, he heard Mu Tan mention that the person who was the demon of the Lan family was also her.

Although Lan Xuanjiu was raised by his mother as a daughter when he was a child, he didn't grow up to play with their group of young masters and sons in the capital.

But because he and Mu Tan played together when they were young, Mu Tan and the Lan family were aunts and cousins, and occasionally he would follow Mu Tan to walk around the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, because he was of the same age, he and Lan Xuanjiu were also old acquaintances.

"You really don't know that guy Lan Xuanjiu?"

"Since I was in high school, I didn't stay in the capital for long, and I was sent to other places, and I have never met the people of the Lan family in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, how can I know them."

"Listening to your tone, I feel like I should know him!" An Chuxia said.

Si Heng's eyes flashed, Mu Tan and An Chuxia should not be lying, it seems that there is something he doesn't know about.

"Yes, what did you ask him for?"

An Chuxia didn't care too much about Si Heng's inexplicability just now, she still trusted Si Heng, so she said: "I guess the second princess sat on the throne this time, and she should have forcibly ascended the throne without getting the edict of Emperor Qing'an." ”

"How so?!"

"Heh, didn't you find that the second princess only sent an official document to the local government that she sat on the throne, but did not hold an enthronement ceremony.

This is very revealing, first, she did not get the emperor's approval to get the edict of succession.

Second, if my guess is correct, the jade seal representing the imperial power has not been obtained by the two princesses until now. ”

Si Heng looked at the light in An Chuxia's eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked softly, "How do you know this?" ”

"General Si, didn't you find out that the second princess claimed to be the emperor, and she didn't send a holy decree."

"There is no holy decree stamped by the jade seal, and there is no doubt about waste paper.

Isn't it strange that every new emperor would show his benevolence after ascending the throne, exempting the people from paying taxes back then, and the two holy decrees that expressed benevolence and amnesty to the world were not issued. ”

"What you said is reasonable, what does that have to do with the Lan Xuanjiu Gongzi you asked about."

An Chuxia glanced at Si Heng and saw that he was still the same as usual, looking at himself with a solemnity that belonged to a soldier alone, so he continued:

"I wonder if in this case, the Lan family, who has one-third of Tanglin's military power, will obey the orders of the second princess who is now unjustified and unspeakable, and ascended to the throne."

"No!" Si Heng did not hesitate at all, and said categorically.

"How so?" It will be An Chuxia's turn to ask puzzled.

Si Heng looked at the doubts in An Chuxia's eyes, and then explained: "It's true that a family of military merits like us who has been in the military for generations only obeys the emperor's orders. I don't care which imperial heir sits on the supreme position when the imperial power changes.

But there is a premise that you worship the temple and announce it to the world, and we will obey the holy decree of the new emperor.

If a prince or a princess calls himself the emperor and asks us to obey orders, it will be out of order. ”

"That's why I'm sure that the Lan family, the Marquis of Zhenguo, will not obey an emperor who can't even issue a formal holy decree."

"Oh, I see, then I'm relieved." After listening to Si Heng's explanation, An Chuxia's face really relaxed.

"It's too far away from the imperial city, and we can't find out more detailed information, so let's go back to the valley first and discuss the future plans." Si Heng proposed.

An Chuxia nodded and stood up, and the two walked in the direction of the Medical Immortal Valley.

………

In the Imperial Palace of the capital, in the bedroom of Emperor Qing'an, with the violent coughing sound of Emperor Qing'an lying on the dragon bed, Rong Ling opened the small medicine box containing Emperor Qing'an's usual use, and the pills in it were gone.

Thinking of it, from that day the five princesses united with the foreign family and their henchmen to launch a palace rebellion, and finally were strangled by the second princess who was the second queen who took the lead on the Jinluan Palace, Rong Ling was a chill.

No one thought that the second princess, who had always shown her physical weakness, would collude with Wang Yu, the most elite commander of the Tiger Ben Army who stayed in the capital.

During this time, Rong Ling heard that the little son of the second emperor's daughter was not the child of his own Zhengjun, but the son and son of Wang Yu, the leader of the Tiger Ben Army.

It seems that the second princess, who has always been honest and dutiful, has premeditated plans for the throne.

I'm afraid she also knows that if Her Majesty had known that she had a relationship with Wang Qian, she would not have been defenseless against the second princess, so that she would take advantage of the chaos to take control of the palace so easily.

Judging from the fact that the second princess was able to order people to wash all the traitors in the hall with blood, even the fifth princess and the concubine did not escape the fate of being killed in front of the emperor.

She is not only scheming, but also cruel and cruel in her bones.

His Majesty also vomited blood on the spot because he didn't stop the second princess from killing the five princesses, and then the second princess was trapped in the palace because the emperor was seriously ill, and even the ministers jointly wrote a letter to visit, but the second princess refused.

Rong Ling looked at Emperor Qing'an, who had fallen into a coma, and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and he couldn't help but get wet.

Since His Majesty was unwilling to write the edict and hand over the jade seal of the country, the second princess no longer let the imperial doctor come to see His Majesty.

In the past few days, Emperor Qing'an's cough has become more and more serious, and now the only medicine left has been eaten, Rong Ling looks at the empty small medicine box and feels uncomfortable.

Who would have thought that a generation of emperors would be forced to the point that even Doctor Xuan was not allowed to see a doctor.

Just when Rong Ling was sad, he heard that the window of Emperor Qing'an's bedroom was gently pushed open and a small cloth bag was stuffed in.

Rong Ling was shocked, and cautiously walked over to open the window a crack, except for the flowers and plants that were still in bloom, he didn't see anyone.

He crouched down and opened the cloth bag to see that there were about ten small porcelain bottles inside, and there were instructions for what symptoms were pills on them.

Just when Rong Ling was thinking about who sent these medicines, he heard the sound of the guards at the door greeting, and Rong Ling knew that he had no time to find a more hidden place to hide the medicine.

He hurriedly looked up and saw the bulging ornamental bottle on the shelf, and at the last moment, Rong Ling stuffed the small package inside.

hurriedly ran to Emperor Qing'an's bedside, and cried with tears, no less sad than his dead father.

While crying, he muttered quietly: "My majesty! It's all useless old slaves, you have finished taking the medicine, and the old slaves have nowhere to find ...... for you."

When the second princess walked in with someone, she saw Rong Ling, holding an empty small medicine box in her hand, kneeling beside the bed and crying quietly.

She walked to the dragon bed, looked at Emperor Qing'an, whose face was already gray, the corners of her mouth showed a touch of disdain, and gestured to a person dressed as an imperial doctor next to her.

The man took out a silver needle and walked towards Emperor Qing'an, Rong Ling hurriedly stopped in front of the bed, his eyes were afraid, but his body was still firm not to let the man approach, "What do you want to do to Your Majesty?" ”
