"I'm sorry to trouble the doctor..." Shen Moran took the prescription, "I wonder if His Highness Prince Yu can help with the medicine? My husband cannot do without people."
"Thank you, His Highness Prince Yu."
After sending everyone out, Zhou Zhan lifted the quilt, got up from the bed, and walked straight over.
Shen Moran was pressed against the door by him and held his chin.
"What's going on between you and Zhou Yu? Are you expecting me to die?"
Bi Tao was frightened by his murderous aura, and Gudong swallowed and spat, explaining: "Your Highness, my young lady is definitely not indifferent to other men. You have to believe my young lady!"
Shen Moran's eyes were sly, and she blinked and asked: "Why is Your Highness so angry? I just want His Highness to see the true face of my own brother! Your Highness is kind-hearted, but the other party may not expect you to be well... "
Zhou Zhan is not angry that Zhou Yu is looking forward to his death, but he is angry that someone is still thinking about him before he dies!
"Your Highness, do you now feel the injustice I suffered in the past..."
The girl's eyes were innocent and as cute as a deer. Zhou Zhan bit her lips and said angrily: "Don't look at others with such eyes."
Bitao covered her eyes and turned away.
"I'm going to keep a vigil for Uncle Lu Wang tonight."
Shen Moran nodded and said: "Uncle King Lu is the elder, we should keep vigil for them, but if you don't get sick, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
That's why she made this decision.
Zhou Zhan knew her worries and murmured: "You can't pretend to be sick all your life..."
He has been pretending for too long, but now that the time has not come, his wings are still too shallow.
Shen Moran shook his head. After all, he was not in his own house, so he should be careful that walls have ears.
"I know."
He went back to lie down by himself, waited for the servants to bring the soup, drank it bit by bit, and then returned to the mourning hall again with Shen Moran's support.
…
"He stayed with Prince Lu and his wife all night?"
The next morning, Emperor Yao had breakfast, and Wei Heyan was waiting on him. Wan Zhong whispered something in Emperor Yao's ear, and what he said fell into Wei Heyan's ears without missing a word.
Emperor Yao put down his chopsticks. Wei Heyan took the tea from the waiter and handed it over. He took an empty cup and took Emperor Yao's mouthwash and handed it to the waiter.
"Prince Lu has no children. Since he is so filial to his uncle, it is better to adopt him in the name of Prince Lu."
Si Yiluo stepped in and was shocked when he heard this. He subconsciously looked at Wei Heyan, only to see Wei Heyan shaking his head at her almost invisible.
She swallowed her words of advice. She had just recommended the candidate to be the examiner. If she opened her mouth to argue for King Zhan again, it would only arouse Emperor Yao's suspicion.
Emperor Yao seemed to be unsure of his decision, and continued, "Xiang Shen and Mr. Bo Ge are here. What should we do about King Lu's funeral? Let's go and listen to their regulations."
Si Yiluo stepped aside and waited for Emperor Yao to pass by, then fell a few steps behind Wei Heyan.
Si Hai winked at her and asked her to go ahead.
Shen Jianxing and Bo'an were already waiting outside the imperial study room.
"I intend to adopt King Zhan to the throne of King Lu, to support King Lu's spirit and continue his incense. What do you think?"
Shen Panxing and Bo'an looked at each other. This decision... was obviously inappropriate, but Shen Panxing was King Zhan's father-in-law, so he should avoid suspicion.
He did avoid suspicion, looked sideways at Bo'an and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Bo Ge thinks?"
This matter has only advantages and no disadvantages for Bo'an. In this case, it will completely eliminate the possibility of His Royal Highness King Zhan to compete for the crown prince. However... Zhou Zhan is a sick man. Whether he is adopted by King Lu does not affect the overall situation.
However, it would be more beneficial to him if he could adopt another adult prince who might compete for the throne!
Thinking about the holy intention, Bo'an considered and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Lu will be buried according to the prince's ceremony. The etiquette is complicated. If His Highness Prince Zhan is adopted as the funeral director, I am worried that His Highness Prince Zhan's body will not be able to hold up..."
"The funeral ceremony will be handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, and there is no need for him to step in too much. I just don't want Prince Lu's palace to lose its heir..."
Emperor Yao was determined to push Zhou Zhan out. Bo'an sensed the holy intention and refused to give up: "But His Royal Highness Zhan is weak. If anything happens... he might be in trouble."
What he will say is that everyone knows very well that it is not honorable to choose a son who is sick and may pass away at any time to adopt a younger brother who died young.
Emperor Yao also had this worry. After all, due to rumors, the prisons in various government offices have been full of people recently. If he continues to be arrested, the people will be unrest and the country will be unstable.
"If the emperor wants to complete this friendship, it is better to choose another young and powerful prince to adopt him. This can just be used to tell the world that the emperor takes care of his brother, and the rumors will be self-defeating."
These words entered Yao Emperor's heart. He had many sons, and it was not impossible to adopt one of them, but the choice of the chosen one...
Bo'an secretly glanced at Shen Shanxing and suggested: "I think His Royal Highness Prince Yu is just right."
Zhou Yu went everywhere to win over courtiers, first hooking up with Bao Fan, and then hooking up with Shen Panxing. Shen Panxing already had a daughter who became a princess, and if another daughter also became a princess, by then, although Zhou Zhan would be a sick man,
But it can help King Yu fight for it.
Bao Fan's rebellion did not implicate Zhou Yu, but Emperor Yao had doubts about Zhou Yu in his heart. He was also ruthless enough to throw away his pregnant wife without caring about love.
Such a ruthless person will be a powerful enemy of His Highness King Chen in the future!
"Prince Yu?"
Emperor Yao was a little moved.
Si Yiluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fun to adopt Zhou Yu to Prince Lu.
Shen Jiaxing saw through Bo'an's thoughts at a glance and said: "I think His Highness the Xian Wang is more suitable for adoption. Since we want to silence the world, why not choose a noble prince? His Highness the Xian Wang is talented and knowledgeable.
Concubine Shun is of noble birth. If the emperor is willing to adopt His Highness the King, the world will definitely praise the emperor for his righteousness!"
Another point is that King Xian is also Bo'an's grandson-in-law. Although the wedding is scheduled to be held in the twelfth lunar month, the marriage between the two families is granted by imperial decree. The Shen family has been favored, and Bo'an is not bad!
One is ebbing and the other is ebbing, and the two are now evenly matched, but they are also tit for tat.
Si Yiluo, who had been silent all this time, understood why Wei Heyan didn't let her speak. He had made herself embarrassed for nothing, and in the end she was accused of having ulterior motives.
The adoption matter urgently needed to be resolved. Emperor Yao raised his head and asked, "What do you think, Si Qing?"
Shen Jianxing and Bo'an's eyes fell on her at the same time. Si Yiluo resisted the pressure and replied politely: "Back to the emperor, I feel that His Royal Highness King Yu and His Highness King Xian have their own strengths. Whoever you choose to adopt will not affect the emperor's career."
Holy Name.”
"You have learned how to flatter people..." Emperor Yao laughed and said, "What if I insist on you choosing one?"
Si Yiluo thought about it for a long time, thinking about Zhou Xian's ending in his previous life. Zhou Xian did not like the constraints of his identity and longed for a free civilian life. In the end, he was suspected by Emperor Yao and was banned from his residence. Later, he was buried in a sea of fire...
If she had to choose one, she would want to help him in this life.
"I also feel that His Highness the King is more suitable. As the Prime Minister said, His Royal Highness's mother's family comes from a noble family. The King has read poetry and books since he was a child. He will definitely serve His Highness King Lu and his wife well."
"Lao Liu's temperament is really not suitable for staying in the capital." Emperor Yao said, "Then choose Lao Liu to adopt him. After the funeral ceremony of King Lu is completed and they get married at the end of the year, let him go to King Lu's house.
Let’s seal the land.”
Staying away from the capital might be able to avoid the tragedy of his previous life. Si Yiluo is working hard to change the fate of his previous life.
"He Yan, prepare a decree."
"yes."
Wei Heyan started drafting the imperial edict and went to Prince Lu's Mansion to announce it. Si Yiluo passed him by again. He didn't catch up with him last night. From the morning until now, nothing could be seen on his face...
"Your Majesty, I have also resigned."
She has not been to the Yamen for several days and must go back today.
