Prime Minister Ji entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion in the afternoon and left through the secret passage just before dark.

After Prime Minister Ji left, the Ninth Prince, who was sitting in the wheelchair, stood up. He knocked twice at the window, and a black figure appeared like a ghost.

"Send this to Youzhou." The Ninth Prince handed an envelope to the shadow guard, "Tell Prince Jing that his daughter is nostalgic for the scenery of Chu Kingdom and will return to the fiefdom later in the day. I hope he won't miss it."

The shadow guard lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, putting the envelope into his arms, "I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."

The shadow guard rode on his fast horse overnight and headed to the fiefdom.

Two days later, when King Jing was going to bed, he suddenly heard a stone hitting the window lattice. He immediately opened the window vigilantly and found an envelope squarely placed on the window sill.

Prince Jing tore open the envelope and poured out a jade pendant from inside. His expression changed. It was clear that the jade pendant was a token of his daughter Chang Le.

Hearing the message coming from nowhere, Prince Jing's face looked very ugly, and he was threatening, clearly threatening.

Prince Jing said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your master that all 60,000 elite soldiers have been lent to him, and please ask him to stay in Changle for a long time and not to argue with her."

Prince Jing spent the night rectifying the soldiers, and then discovered that one of the deputy commanders was a subordinate of the Ninth Prince.

If the inside and the outside cooperate, Prince Jing has already become a chess piece.

Prince Jing laughed heartily: "I was involved in this chess game from the very beginning."

The deputy commander became the commander and led 60,000 elite troops to the capital. Along the way, he met with an elite force of 1,000 troops. In total, there were 120,000 troops, but the capital could quickly mobilize less than 80,000 in total.

The Ninth Prince has been dormant for many years, even injuring his legs to lower everyone's defenses, isn't it just for today?

His mother-in-law was a palace maid, born in a humble family and died young, and had no support from her family. No wonder he would choose to be patient and hide his edge.

Changle later thought, no wonder Prime Minister Ji would do his best to help the Ninth Prince ascend to the throne. Based on his intelligence, I am afraid that he would have seen through the chess game and won the winner as soon as the chess game was set.

He just entered the chess game from the perspective of a chess spectator.

The prince supervised the country and was proud of the spring breeze, and ordered people to secretly make a dragon robe according to his stature.

Everyone in the palace witnessed that the old emperor's spirit was getting better day by day, and he even sat up from bed and ate a bowl of meat at noon one day.

In order to make it easier to swallow, a bowl of fatty meat was served in the imperial dining room. The prince showed his filial piety and served his father the meal himself, which was praised by everyone.

After waking up, the old emperor sent people to conduct a thorough investigation and found out that the previous alchemy had damaged his body, and he felt angry.

Although the Taoist had been beheaded, it was the prince who brought the Taoist into the palace.

Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times. After such an experience, the old emperor could not help but think that the prince had evil intentions, so he became disgusted with him. In addition, during this period of time when the prince was in charge of the country, he showed his love for power. This was a clear sign that he coveted him.

As for the seat, the old emperor was even more unhappy.

Taking advantage of the old emperor's recovery from a serious illness, the imperial concubine made the old emperor happy with her sweet words, and hinted that the prince intended to ascend the throne. The old emperor became more suspicious, and what the imperial concubine said was exactly what he wanted, so with a wave of her hand, she wrote an edict to abolish the prince.

Instead, the son of the noble concubine and the seventh prince were made the crown prince.

The old emperor fell ill that night when he wrote the edict.

His stroke was more severe this time. He couldn't even hold his saliva in his mouth, it was drooling everywhere, his mouth was crooked, his eyes rolled up to the sky, he was twitching, and he was about to die in the next second.

The Taiyuan Hospital was helpless. The prince was frightened by the appearance of the old emperor. At this time, a person suddenly flashed across the head of the Taiyuan Hospital. He hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, go and invite the Imperial Preceptor. The whole country, only the Imperial Preceptor can do it."

Save Your Majesty!"

"Yes, yes, call the imperial master quickly!" The prince kicked the young eunuch on the butt and kept urging.

His kick caused the little eunuch to hit the cabinet, and the two unpacked imperial edicts fell into his arms.

The little eunuch was startled, rolled his eyes, hid behind the curtain, and quickly winked at the prince.

It was obviously a newly written edict. The prince thought to himself that his father was afraid that he knew that he was not good enough, so he wrote the edict in advance for him to ascend the throne.

The prince opened it with joy and almost fainted.

The prince never imagined that during the period when the old emperor fainted, he was doing everything by himself, staying up late to read memorials, and not forgetting to have meals with the old emperor. Why would the old emperor want to depose him?

The prince couldn't figure it out and was very angry. The prince stood beside the old emperor's bed and looked at him condescendingly. The little eunuch stood beside him with his waist bent.

The imperial doctors looked at each other and excused themselves quickly.

The Ninth Prince sat in a wheelchair and entered the Yaotai, the highest palace in the imperial city.

The Yaotai was very high and the wind was strong at night. The Imperial Master stood with his hands behind his hands and looked up at the sky full of stars.

"Master, my father is about to die." The Ninth Prince pushed the wheelchair to her side.

"Ziweixing has been extremely bright recently," said the Imperial Master.

The Ninth Prince glanced at the sky, then quickly looked back, overlooking the entire imperial city.

He said: "I thought the Imperial Master would not be able to bear it. After all, my father's current situation..."

The Imperial Master looked calmly: "Your Highness, time is running out."

The Ninth Prince leaned on his wheelchair and said casually: "When the Crown Prince takes office, he will definitely want to make some achievements and establish his prestige. The Imperial Master has drafted a drought relief memorial, and the Crown Prince may not be unwilling to implement it."

"Purge the imperial court, clean up the household department, replenish the national treasury, cultivate crops in experimental fields, light corvee and low taxes, and plant drought-resistant crops for all the people. The prince is not courageous enough." The Imperial Preceptor's voice was neither salty nor light.

Regarding drastic reform policies and the implementation of regulations that are unfavorable to relatives, the heirs are more inclined to stick to the old ways.

Moreover, more people in power only care about their own interests and disregard the lives and deaths of the people for their own selfish interests.

"Oh?" the Ninth Prince smiled, "Does the Imperial Master think so highly of me?"

The Imperial Preceptor was silent, and the Ninth Prince said softly: "The Imperial Preceptor has the world in mind, has great talents and strategies, is familiar with military books, and cares about all people. Why not ascend the throne myself, and be written into the history books in the future, and be worshiped by future generations as the first empress in the ages?

?”

"Not interested." Regarding the Ninth Prince's provocation, the Imperial Master's expression remained unmoved.

The emperor was suspicious, let alone the real dragon emperor who was born from Ziweixing.

The palace was brightly lit, a faint cry could be heard, and the bells rang.

The Ninth Prince looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace with great interest, and saw the palace attendants holding white cloths hurriedly, and the smile in his eyes became even brighter.

After a moment, he supported his head with his hands, his dark pupils looking at the woman standing with her hands behind her hands.

The clothes are flying, he is independent from the world, he is cold and absolute, and his manners are perfect.

A smile slowly appeared on his lips: "Master, what if I were replaced by the queen?"

The other party glanced at him without any emotion, left a word, turned and left from Yaotai.

The palace became quiet, without any sound. Time passed by minute by second, but the Ninth Prince still remembered those words.
