The emperor's illness became more and more serious.
The eldest princess entered the palace to wait for her illness. The soup she had just brought to the bedside was caught off guard and was overturned by the emperor. The soup bowl immediately shattered on the floor.
The emperor supported his seriously ill body, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at the eldest princess viciously and said: "You all want to kill me, my Ling Yao. Get out... get away, I only want Ling Yao."
Concubine Hui swayed at the door at the right time, and the emperor went crazy, lying on the bedside and shouting: "Ling Yao, my Ling Yao."
"Don't go, it's snowing heavily outside, you'll get cold if you go out."
"Ling Yao..."
Concubine Hui was so frightened that she wanted to hide. When the eldest princess saw her hysterical father, she suddenly stood up and walked out with a gloomy look on her face.
She said to the obedient concubine Hui Gui: "Go in and wait on me, and don't talk nonsense."
Concubine Hui whispered: "Your Majesty, he is not calling me, he is..."
Who dares to call the former Queen by her name?
There were tears in Hui Guifei's eyes. She didn't dare to cry even if she wanted to. She looked so pitiful.
The eldest princess got tired of looking at it, so she said: "I asked you to go and serve, not to argue with your father. Just obey him and don't make him sad."
Concubine Hui Gui responded in a low voice and quickly went in.
Li Defu sent the young eunuch to clean up the situation and quickly followed him out, fearing that the eldest princess would be sad.
Li Defu said: "The emperor had summoned ministers to discuss..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor shouted from inside: "Xiao Fuzi, if you don't come and show yourself to the queen, where did you die?"
"If you don't come back, I will skin you."
Li Defu smiled sarcastically, with a troubled expression on his face.
The eldest princess said: "Go in quickly and look at her."
That "she", with a slightly thick accent, naturally refers to Hui Gui's concubine.
Li Defu cheered up instantly and walked in.
Everything was covered with snow, red walls and white tiles, and a cold wind. The palace was so big that she couldn't see it all at a glance, and the palace was so small that she only cared about two or three people.
Wuxi is better, with unlimited spring and scorching sun.
She missed Wang Xiu, and thought of Wang Xiu and Lu Yunhong walking slowly back to the villa hand in hand under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Those two people matched each other so well that even their shadows overlapped.
Things in this world are 90% unsatisfactory, but if you have a good marriage, what's the harm in being a little miserable?
The eldest princess did not leave the palace, she went to the East Palace.
The two siblings were playing chess in Nuan Pavilion, and the eldest princess said: "My father seems to be in trouble, so prepare to succeed to the throne!"
The prince's hand holding the chess piece paused, then slowly lowered it.
"Which of them are willing?"
The eldest princess knew that the prince was referring to King An and the other two younger brothers, and immediately sneered: "So what if you don't want to. If the prince cannot successfully succeed to the throne, then what kind of prince will be established in the future? If there is civil strife in the Yan Dynasty, the world will be in chaos. Those old people
I'm a smart guy and won't let them succeed."
"Taking a step back, so what if they succeed? Sister, I will take the blame after I kill them all, and you will take the throne. When the time comes, you can send An Nian to Wang Xiu and tell me that I will take the blame."
She takes care of it.”
The prince was stunned and asked: "Why is it Wang Xiu and not me?"
The eldest princess glanced at the prince and said disdainfully: "Wang Xiu knows medical skills, can you? Wang Xiu can sleep with An Nian, can you? Wang Xiu can also find a satisfactory wife for An Nian, can you do it??"
Prince: "..."
He never knew that in Sister's eyes, he was so useless.
Seeing that the prince remained silent, the eldest princess later realized whether she had gone too far.
She tugged on the prince's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Are you angry?"
The prince shook his head, but then he dropped the chess piece, raised his head and asked, "Sister, am I bad?"
The eldest princess was shocked and said: "How could it happen? Who said that?"
"You are the prince who was taught by my father himself. Among the princes who have been taught by our great Yan Wenchen and military generals, who dares to act presumptuously in front of you?"
The prince lowered his head and said calmly: "It turns out that when the Wang family sent Wang Xiu to stay in Zhuangzi for a long time, they wanted to avoid me. Do you know?"
The eldest princess: "..."
"Who said this?"
"Isn't that where you go to recuperate?"
The eldest princess was dumbfounded and didn't believe it at all.
But the prince sneered: "Going up the mountain to hunt birds, going down the river to catch fish, training dogs to chase thieves, raising geese to guard the door, which patient would do these things?"
"What kind of illness can you recover from for a few years and then be cured after the decree of marriage is issued?"
The eldest princess: "..."
Although shocked, it is also unbelievable.
But the deal is already done, and besides, my younger brother doesn't like Wang Xiu.
The eldest princess swallowed her saliva and said cautiously: "Even if the Wang family has this intention, it is still a painstaking effort as a parent. You don't need to worry about it. It's great for Wang Xiu to marry Lu Yunhong. They have done a lot for you.
There are few things to do.”
"Besides, would you like it if the Wang family didn't send Wang Xiu to Zhuangzi? Not necessarily, right?"
"I think Wang Xiu's little girl is not willing to suffer. If she marries you, will there be other women in your East Palace?"
"Besides, if she is cruel and ruthless, I'm afraid even you will be poisoned."
Prince: "..."
Staring at the eldest princess with a resentful look, the prince said displeasedly: "What I care about is that she marries Lu Yunhong?"
"I didn't expect that the young master would be so dedicated to his duties and work so hard to secure my position as the crown prince, but I never imagined that he would actually be on guard against me?"
The eldest princess couldn't deny that she would be sad if this matter were left to her.
However... the Wang family are ministers, and it is good enough if they can fulfill their duties faithfully. On the other hand, when it comes to betrayal and feelings, it seems that they are forcing it.
The eldest princess comforted her younger brother and said: "Forget it, Mr. Wang is old. He is just a young girl. It is his duty to make plans for her."
"Just like my father agreed to my divorce and gave Annian's surname Zhao, didn't he mean to favor me?"
"I have pity on the hearts of parents in the world. As long as they don't betray you and don't betray Dong Palace, I think these are all forgivable."
Little does the prince know that these things done by the Wang family did not touch his bottom line.
But the problem is that it is easier said than done.
Today he claimed to be ill, but Mr. Wang didn't even see him when he came to visit him. He knew that he was angry, but he also understood that he couldn't talk about it openly, otherwise there would be a gap between the East Palace and the Wang family, which would be bad for him and the Wang family.
.
The eldest princess was still unhappy when she saw him, so she turned to talk about Hui Gui.
"Do you think she really looks like the queen?"
The prince said: "I heard from Li Defu that his speech and behavior are very similar, and his appearance is even worse."
The eldest princess asked suspiciously: "Could it be a chess piece inserted into the palace by others?"
The prince shook his head: "I sent someone to check her life experience. She is the daughter of a farmer's family next to the paddock. There is nothing special about her."
"But it didn't happen before she entered the palace. It doesn't mean that she didn't after entering the palace. I heard that the third brother has entered the palace more frequently recently."
When the eldest princess heard this, she immediately sneered and said: "He is quite willing to take risks, even losing his face."
The prince joked: "If he can ascend the throne, someone will naturally help him pick up his face!"
The eldest princess glared at the prince and said angrily: "You are quite calm!"
The prince joked: "Didn't the imperial sister just say that she was going to remove obstacles for me? Why can't I calm down?"
The eldest princess: "..."
That brat would choke her!
But then, the prince raised his head, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said sarcastically: "If that day comes, the emperor will just sit back and watch. I want to see how capable they are to pull me down from this position!"
