Ministers, you and I will not give in to each other, and we will fight for each other.

The people of Zhenguo Gong and the crown prince glanced at each other, knowing that this matter was not so simple, and now the palace was under Wei Jiuyuan's control, and the emperor and queen mother were all under house arrest, they were afraid, and they really couldn't fight with Wei Jiuyuan.

Zhen Guogong glanced forward, and saw Wei Jiuyuan watching this farce calmly, as if he had a chance to win.

His heart sank, and he didn't speak again.

Sure enough, in the end, Wei Jiuyuan said: "My father can't speak now, I can't write with my hands, and all important affairs are entrusted to this palace, if you don't believe it, you can let Zhong Qian testify to this palace, he is his father's person, don't you believe his words?" ”

As soon as he clapped his hands, the door to the inner room of the imperial study opened, and Zhong Qian, with a haggard face, stepped out of it.

Also coming out with him was Concubine Mei.

When the ministers saw her, they immediately saluted, "I've seen the noble concubine." ”

"Your Excellency, excuse me." Concubine Mei changed into a light blue palace dress today, with a lot less hairpin rings on her head, no powder, and she looked thin and melancholy.

Zhong Qian held her hand forward, and Wei Jiuyuan got up and helped Mei Guifei's other hand to let her sit down in the circle chair.

Concubine Mei pressed her eyebrows, her voice was weak and hoarse, "This palace has guarded Your Majesty all night, and you are tired at this time, and please bear with the adults if you are rude." ”

"Niangniang and Your Majesty have a deep relationship, and they have worked hard." Immediately someone slapped on the back.

Concubine Mei smiled and looked at Zhong Qian beside her, "Zhong Qian, you and the adults should tell you about Your Majesty's current condition and the words of the imperial doctor, so as not to worry the adults." ”

Zhong Qian looked at her, and Mei Guifei glanced in the direction of the inner room.

Zhong Qian pursed his lips, and after a while, his shoulders collapsed, and he turned to the ministers and said, "Your Majesty...... His Majesty was poisoned, but fortunately, His Royal Highness found it in time, and after the efforts of the imperial doctors, His Majesty's life was worry-free, but he was affected by the residual poison, and now he can't get up, can't speak, and can only slowly detoxify. ”

He glanced at Wei Jiuyuan, and Wei Jiuyuan nodded.

The hand in Zhong Qian's sleeve clenched, suppressed the hatred, hung his head and said, "Now that the government and government are handled by His Royal Highness, please rest assured." ”

Zhen Guogong frowned: "What about the Queen Mother?" Why did such a big thing happen but I didn't see the Queen Mother come forward? ”

"The Queen Mother is sick, she is old, and she can't be stimulated, and the palace ordered the news to be blocked and not let the Queen Mother know for the time being."

Without waiting for anyone to ask any more questions, Mei Guifei took the initiative to say: "When the Queen Mother is healthy, the palace will naturally tell you the truth, before that, if the Queen Mother is angry, who can afford it?" ”

Her sharp gaze swept over the ministers present, and the ministers fell silent.

Zhen Guogong closed his eyes and sighed.

……

After leaving the imperial study, someone stopped him, Zhen Guogong turned his head to look, and several ministers who were usually good friends with him surrounded him.

"Why didn't the prince speak? Do we really want to watch His Royal Highness and the concubine control the government? ”

"That is, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince usurp the throne? Not to mention pulling Princess Jianing together, such a flawed reason, do you believe it? ”

"Or else?" Zhen Guogong asked calmly, and several ministers looked dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, we can't see it, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are also in their hands, the prince's situation is unknown, and Princess Jianing is also trapped in the palace, what can I do? Changping Hou is my nephew, I am more anxious than anyone else, but is it useful to be in a hurry? ”

He turned his head to look at the people from the Second Prince's faction who were passing by proudly, his face was pale, "The Imperial Forest Army and the Five-Color Battalion are in the hands of the Second Prince, can we still rush into the palace and rescue Your Majesty with just a few of our waste?" ”

Several ministers were stunned and shut up.

After walking together for a while, someone asked, "Then we just watched them gain power?" ”

Zhen Guogong didn't answer, he didn't know what he thought, he looked back at the direction of the harem, thoughtful.

……

As soon as the minister left, Wei Jiuyuan prepared to meet Xie Shuangge.

"Stop."

Concubine Mei said unhurriedly: "You lock Jianing in the palace, I don't object, she should still have Chu Wuxian's person in her hands, it is safer to put it under her nose, but--you had better distinguish the weight, don't be stumped by the love of children and daughters, and ruin our good deeds." ”

Before, Wei Jiuyuan hid deeply, and Mei Guifei didn't see it, but now that Wei Jiuyuan didn't plan to cover it up, Mei Guifei immediately understood, so she came to knock him.

Wei Jiuyuan turned around and smiled slightly, "Mother doesn't have to worry, the princess is just asking for it but not forgetting it, if it is in hand, naturally it will not be so persistent." ”

Mei Guifei nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, the word love is the most harmful, only ruthlessness can achieve great things, live to the end, the emperor has to have everything, but you can't be affectionate, otherwise the emperor's today is your tomorrow." ”

Wei Jiuyuan's heart froze, and he nodded, "Erchen knows." ”

……

After Wei Jiuyuan left, Mei Guifei stood up, not showing the tiredness of Fang Cai at all, and her eyes were clear and sharp.

She looked at the bell, which was standing silent, pulled her lips, and turned to go to the inner room.

Zhong Qian was about to bite his teeth in place, but finally compromised and followed.

The inner room is warm and sleepy.

Mei Guifei lifted the bed tent and looked down at the haggard man on the bed.

The emperor was originally half-asleep, but when he noticed someone around him, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at it vigilantly, and found that it was Mei Guifei, and his eyes suddenly became angry and resentful.

Concubine Mei sat down on the edge of the bed as if she hadn't seen it.

"Your Majesty, are you still refusing to give way to Yuan'er?"

The emperor closed his eyes, his voice hoarse and weak, "Don't dream. ”

Even if he died, he would not pass on the throne to a foreign wild species!

Concubine Mei's smile cooled down a little, "Do you think that without the edict of succession and the jade seal of the country, we will have no choice?" ”

The Emperor did not speak.

The jade seal of the country has long been hidden by him, and it is impossible for ordinary people to find it, and what is placed in the imperial study is just the jade seal that he commonly uses. And that jade seal only represents him, not on behalf of Dayan, the successive emperors of Dayan ascended the throne, they had to take the jade seal of the country, and if there was no jade seal of the country, the name would not be right.

This kind of valuable thing, he hid it early in the morning, didn't tell anyone, and didn't even know where Zhong Qian was, so Zhong Qian can live until now, Mei Guifei didn't touch him.

Concubine Mei was annoyed by his appearance of not advancing oil and salt, got up angrily, and sneered: "The jade seal of the country is just icing on the cake, it is impossible to stop us or not, by the way, do you think that Dayan's enemy is only in southern Xinjiang?" ”

The Emperor snapped his eyes open, "You...... What did you say? ”
