Chapter 598 Hidden uneasiness, that is, bad news

In November of the ninth year of Yuanqing, the prince died, and the "excessive sadness" followed him, and the emperor also frequently suffered from asthma and lay in bed.

According to the records of later historians, Emperor Gaozong of Dalong was diligent during his reign. For more than ten years, regardless of the cold, summer, rain and snow did not stop in the early morning. Only in the winter of the ninth year of Yuanqing was unable to stay due to illness.

On this day, the princes and nobles, civil and military courtiers were not allowed to be in the imperial gate, so they heard that the emperor was sick. For a moment, the atmosphere was very tense.

The fact that the emperor was suffering from a hidden disease was not widely publicized. This time, he suddenly fell ill and ended the early morning for the first time, which inevitably made people panic.

Everyone knows that the emperor is diligent in governing and will never stop the court unless he has to. Is it said that the disease of the emperor is urgent?

The storage position is suspended, and the dragon body is in danger, which is definitely not a good thing for a country.

But it may not be the reason why the emperor made a suspicious array to test whether several princes have the intention to compete for the reserve. Therefore, although the courtiers have some concerns, they have not yet reached the point of chaos.

Yu and Su Yi, two heavenly ministers, have become a channel for many courtiers to explore the truth. Outside Zhengyang Gate, the two are tightly surrounded by the crowd, but it is difficult for people to ask directly, so the people who deal with it are even more false.

The left prime minister Wei Ji easily pulled Yu Yu away from the encirclement of several waiters. As soon as he asked, "I heard that the prince was on duty in the palace last night?", he saw that Yu suddenly waved his hand and strode forward. Wei Xiang was stunned for more than ten breaths. He sighed in frustration and doubted that the prince was so obscure. Is the emperor really seriously ill?

Yu Yu suddenly saw that King Qing was about to board the car of King Qing's mansion with King Fu.

When he looked at it from a distance, he saw that King Fu looked very solemn, and a trace of cunning flashed across King Qing's face.

The son suddenly felt uneasy and subtle in his heart, which made him raise his feet and rush over.

Fuwang had stepped on the saddle with one foot. Hearing someone calling him behind him, he stood and turned around.

King Qing also turned around. In the not very bright light in the morning, there seemed to be a dark fog in his eyes.

"Yuanyang, I'm inviting my second brother to sit in my house. Isn't Yuanyang together?" It was King Qing who spoke. He leaned behind him and spoke eagerly, which only gave people the feeling that he was perfunctory.

Yu Chongqing arched his hand and looked at Fuwang. At this time, he was closer and could see the heaviness between Fuwang's eyebrows more and more clearly.

"It's a coincidence that I also have something to find your Highness." Yu Wei pretended not to notice the perfunctory of King Qing and planned to push the boat along the water and be an ignorant person.

"I have something to discuss with my fourth brother." Unexpectedly, King Fu refused and smiled at Yu Yu with apologetically: "I have to let Yuanyang wait for a while. I will visit the King of Chu's Mansion again after this matter."

Yu Yu was slightly stunned and looked at King Fu with some suspicion, but saw that he nodded quite firmly, so he had to say "OK". Seeing King Fu get into the car and go away, the prince did not let go of his eyebrows for a long time.

The extremely inexplicable and bad premonition in my heart is like the wet cold air in the morning, which has been pressing on the chest.

When the two princes arrived in the inner study of Qingwang Mansion, just after the beginning of the year, the room was still dark and needed to light candles. Because they were in the early morning, they were generally too late to eat, so King Qing was very close to the landlord. Before talking about the truth, they first let people have breakfast. Today's leave was an emergency. The kitchen was not ready, so they brought it up. Soup noodles with beef in the pot.

The two brothers filled their stomachs, and the maids made hot tea. After tasting half a cup of Fuwang, they talked about the interrogation of Ai yesterday.

"Look, second brother, what I said that day is very true. Lao Wu is indeed hiding evil intentions!" King Qing's face was full of indignant and patted the case again, pointing to the yak horn carving dragon's wrench finger on the case.

There is suspicion in King Fu's heart, but he also knows that if the real murderer is indeed the fifth prince, once Ai is detained, he can only hide this matter for another day or two. In order to prevent the old five hearts from being on guarding the dead sheep to make up for the crime and destroying the crime, he must take the lead. Therefore, he rushed to "negotiation" with King Qing today. In fact, he has to try. Explore whether this is the king's conspiracy to blame Lao Wu, and pick him to compete with Lao Wu so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"How many people did Ai confess? I don't know that the eyes and ears of the fourth brother are among them?" King Fu took out a list from his sleeve bag and handed it to King Qing.

If Ai is the person of King Qing, her confession is of course given by King Qing, and the person made by King Qing must be drawn up by King Qing. In fact, the names on the list are all fictional. After seeing it, King Qing must know that King Fu is trying and being caught off guard. It is inevitable that there will be changes in her expression, or surprise, or clear, or ridicule, and there will always be a leak. II.

Therefore, King Fu secretly paid attention to King Qing's eyebrows.

But I didn't see that King Qing's expression had changed.

He just read the list carefully and shook his head: "My ears and eyes are not among them. At this time, I will not hide my second brother. I can tell you his real name, and he also listed several staff members who discussed with Lao Wu that day." After saying that, King Qing got up, turned to the bookshelf, raised his arm to take down a book, and pulled out a list.

King Fu did not see the sarcasm raised at the corners of his lips when King Qing turned around.

In fact, King Qing did not know the personnel who contacted Ai's. He really didn't see that King Fu's list was fake, but at the time of design, he had already budgeted that King Fu would not believe his words. He was bound to suspect that it was his layout behind his back and let King Fu compete with the fifth prince Beng He. That's good, because King Fu was afraid of it. If he stepped on his trap, he would not tell others that he had known about this conspiracy and exposed it in advance, so that the next play could continue to sing and make the world, especially their father, believe it.

The more cautious and suspicious Fuwang is, the less he will be willing to unify the front with King Qing. I have to say that King Qing's insight into people's hearts is indeed unique to him.

Fu Wang looked at the list handed over by King Qing, and his eyebrows were as deep as a lock.

In fact, Ai did not discuss what staff to be on that day, which is also reasonable. If she is really a pawn of the mother and son of the German concubine, she should only know the contacts. At most, she is a eunuch maid, or a domestic slave steward. How can she figure out the names of the trusted staff of the Fifth Prince's Mansion one by one, but the list of Ruoqing is conclusive. Undoubtedly, as long as the case is handed over to the patriarch's mansion and these people are captured and brought to justice one by one, there will always be people who can't stand to confess. Of course, King Fu doesn't believe that King Qing has the ability to buy out the cronies of the fifth prince one by one by one.

At this time, the scale in Fuwang's heart had been biased towards King Qing, and his suspicion of the fifth prince increased.

He was about to speak, but suddenly saw King Qing's body shaking, his face pale in vain, and he seemed to gasp twice, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Fuwang was shocked...

Because the two princes had a secret talk in the study, he rejected the servants. King Qing only let his cronies stand far under the steps of the study, and specially opened the doors and windows to prevent the wall from having ears.

The cronin was bored and suddenly heard a muffled sound in the room, as if someone suddenly fell to the ground and subconsciously turned around.

"Your Highness!" A scream completely broke the quiet morning of Qingwang Mansion.

——

Guan Suiyuan, the king's mansion in Suzhengfang, returned with a lot of trouble and met the beautiful scenery that had just finished a round of housework in the morning, accompanied the old princess after breakfast, and was walking in Meilin in the forecourt.

did not realize it in time and almost passed by.

Yi Jing was smiling and preparing to talk to him. Seeing this situation, he was very confused. He grabbed Yu's sleeve and remembered that he should still be in the morning at this hour and should not have appeared at home. He quickly asked what had happened.

Yu Yu was a little stunned, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He can't say that when he watched King Fu return together with King Qing, he had an inexplicable hunch. He always felt that something bad would happen - even if King Qing had bad intentions with King Fu, he would not blatantly harm his mansion. Yu Yu thought that his sudden premonition was really unfounded.

He retreated and walked up to the high pavilion with the scenery. Only then did Yu Yu say that the emperor suddenly suffered from illness and retired from the court.

"Is it asthma?" Ying asked immediately.

The disease of the Son of Heaven was not publicized, but as experienced people, of course, the two remember the nine years of the Yuanqing of the previous life. Around this time, the prince was assassinated and confused, so the emperor was bedridden. Later, it was announced that it was an early hidden disease. Manchen Wenwu was worried, and gradually some people admonished the establishment of a new reserve.

Gaozu and Taizong all had asthma, and even the eldest princess had this disease. As soon as Yu and Yijing heard the word "hidden disease", they thought that today's emperor was also suffering from asthma.

"It should be." Yu Wei said, "The body of the emperor's dragon is worrying, but the reason why it was announced in the last life should be to push the third prince to the throne as soon as possible, and this time... The departure of the third prince's country has hit the emperor a heavy blow to the emperor. I'm afraid that the emperor is really unable to do it."

That is to say, in the last life, the emperor was "sick" with some water, and this life is really critical.

Yu Yu expected that the prince was assassinated in Zhuoying Garden. Although the emperor was bedridden for a period of time, he did not died until the 12th year of Yuanqing. In the ninth year of Yuanqing, it was far from critical. Just last night, the emperor suddenly fainted and just woke up this morning. He didn't talk about his bed, and even had no choice but to speak. Only then did it be announced that the illness was cancelled in the early morning.

Jiang Qinggu and the imperial doctors have a saying that they dare not say. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to survive this winter, and it will be time for spring to return to the earth.

It is urgent to choose a new prince, but what has clearly happened in the Fuwang Mansion, and it is inseparable from King Qing, at this urgent time!

Therefore, Yu Yu suddenly became anxious for King Fu and King Qing.

"My brother-in-law will come to our house later. I came home early in order to wait for him." Yu Yu said.

But on this day, he did not wait for King Fu to visit.

About half an hour later, as soon as Yu and Yijing returned to the atrium study, they saw Xia Ke enter without a face and reported a bad news like a bolt from the blue!

——

In the Duke's Mansion of Wei, which is separated from the royal palace of Chu, a carriage was parked at the corner gate early in the morning.

It turned out that Aunt Xue, who had been recuperated, returned home today.

Of course, we have to go to He Ruiyuan first and say hello to Huang, the wife of the main room.

Huang's plan did not hurt Aunt Xue at all. Although he did not show his feet because of Li's loyalty, he witnessed the Duke of Wei's favor with Aunt Xue. Huang was hit hard and hated the humble but favored concubine in front of him, which was simply difficult to hold back.

"You are really, since you are innocent and framed, even the prince has forgiven you and allowed you to give birth to children. Why are you so stubborn?" Huang smiled coldly: "You have to pretend moderately. Not to mention that I didn't remind you that as a woman, the most important thing is still your children. That's what you rely on. Otherwise, one day, you will have to die alone."

This is almost the most obvious and mean word for Huang in recent years. He has completely torn his skin and no longer wants to lie to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue did not pretend to be a suspant again, but smiled: "My concubine, thank you for your advice, but the concubine is convinced of the promise of the prince. As long as the concubine keeps her duty, the prince will certainly not let the concubine suffer. The prince originally regarded the concubine's loyalty to the master, and pitied the concubine's poor life. I am willing to take in the concubine to live a stable life in the mansion and enjoy the glory of this beautiful food. The maidservant has no extravagance. Since the prince said that the son and the wife of the son will treat the concubine well in the future, the concubine is convinced.

The loyal owner was not aimed at the Huang family, but at the Cui family. The Duke of Wei was indeed because he was weak and easy to bully the Cui family. Fortunately, there was a Ji Xue around him who defended her, so he avoided many humiliations. He admired Ji Xue very much, and because Ji Xue was abducted by people since she was a child. He didn't even know his surname, let alone his parents and family members to rely on. , the life is really pitiful, and I feel pity.

Since he knew that Huang wanted to harm the beautiful scenery, Duke Wei no longer dared to underestimate the private methods of the otaku woman. He was also worried that if Ji Xue had children who would gradually become greedy, it would be detrimental to the peace of the house. He did not want Ji Xue to leave children again, but he was willing to give her a fortune for the rest of his life. He promised that if Ji Xue kept his duty, even if he died in the future, the son of the world The couple is pure-hearted, and they will also be raised in the government of the country, so that they will not be lonely and helpless.

And Ji Xue used this bluntly to refute Huang's words, which was simply another sharp blade in Huang's heart.

The two of them are concubines and vows!

Huang's eyes were angry and saw Ji Xue leave. Before his anger subsided, he saw Mother Lan staggering inside and reported anxiously: "Madam, something big has happened. His Royal Highness Prince Fu... I heard that he was poisoned in Prince Qing's mansion... It has been cured..."

Mother Lan's words fell, but she saw Huang holding her mouth and laughing, saying good things again and again!

M Mother Lan is very frightened. Several people suspect that the Duke's wife has hysthenia. Is this crazy?

Huang stopped laughing for a long time, his eyes were full of gloom, and he hummed coldly - Su Yi, it's good that you did this to me! In a blink of an eye, you will have retribution, and your eldest daughter will be widowed! It should be Prince Qing who took action! Su Yi, one day, I will make you regret, kneel in front of me to repent and cry!
