In the middle of the night, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and it started to rain lightly. After a few days, the young leaves on the branches suddenly unfolded and were dyed with a deeper color by the rain. Only then did the catkins fall away, and the poplar catkins began to sprout out again.

Emperor Yao's illness improved a lot. When he went to the morning court for the first time, some people were in high spirits, but others seemed not to wake up.
This time the court was off for a long time, and all the ministries made a summary. When the court was dismissed, it was almost noon.
Si Yiluo raised his feet and walked out, but was stopped by Si Hai. He looked around, gave her a small note, and tried his best to wink and smile at her.
She lowered her head and glanced at the rolled up note, nodded, went around to a deserted place, opened it and took a look.
The words on the note were written by Si Hai, telling her that Emperor Yao's body was actually not as healthy as it looked on the outside.
Si Yiluo took out the fire folder and burned the note to ashes, then raised his feet and continued walking forward.
Did Wei Heyan ask him to tell her the news, or was Si Hai the one who made the decision? How was Emperor Yao's health? Except for the head of the hospital Liu and the attendants around Emperor Yao, not even she could pry into it.
To what extent is it not so good? It’s hard to guess...
It was already noon, so she went back home directly.
Er Qiao was holding a gilded invitation card in her hand. When she saw her, she ran up to meet her.
"Sir, someone sent a message saying it was a banquet at the Duke's Mansion. Do you want to go?"
Ever since my elders came to Beijing, invitations to banquets of various sizes have been sent to my house. My elders seldom attend them, and some of them don’t even look at them. The cover of this post looks extraordinary, and the national
Isn’t the government very powerful...
Si Yiluo took it and said it was sent from the Duke of Song Dynasty. The old Duke's wife was going to celebrate her 70th birthday on April 17th. The queen's mother would be taken care of by His Highness King Chen himself. Maybe even Emperor Yao would be able to do it by then.
Go ahead, this face...it won't work if she doesn't give it to you.
"Please invite Princess Zhan to come over this afternoon."
The troublesome task of choosing gifts should be left to Shen Moran, who is good at it. She happened to catch a cold last night and now she felt a headache and didn't want to go to the Yamen in the afternoon.
"yes!"
Er Qiao liked to run errands, so he immediately trotted to Prince Zhan's Mansion to deliver the message.
It was not yet noon. After a simple meal, she calculated that she could lie down and catch up on some sleep, so she lay down without any burden.
Until a hand fell on his forehead, Shen Moran let out a sigh.
"I'm not sick..."
Si Yiluo opened his eyes. He didn't expect that she would come to the door so quickly. At this moment, she was sleepy and rolled inside and asked, "Why are you so fast? Didn't you have lunch?"
Shen Moran coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I went out with His Highness today, and I happened to see Er Qiao on the way. Isn't it just a gift for the Protector's wife? Just pick any one."
Anyway, she doesn't need to make friends with the courtiers, as long as she doesn't lose any sense of proportion in giving any gifts.
"I have other things to do with you." Si Yiluo sat up, "When I left the palace today, Si Hai stuffed a note into me, saying that the emperor's body was not as healthy as he looked on the outside. I wondered for a long time, but there was no answer.
Understand what he wants to tell me, and you can help analyze it."
"Did Wei Heyan ask him to tell you?"
Si Yiluo shook her head, she didn't know.
"may be."
Shen Moran raised his eyebrows and said: "You two have to play riddles when talking, making people wonder... what does he mean? Why don't you just ask him directly?"
In her previous life, Wei Heyan always gave her exam questions to solve. If she couldn't solve them, she would be punished. Sometimes she would be slapped on the palm of her hand, and sometimes she would be punished by kneeling down.
How dare Si Yiluo ask him!
The punishment of this life... She couldn't help but rub her waist, it was uncomfortable anyway.
With a chuckle in his ears, Shen Moran took off his robe and lay beside her, holding his head in his hands and looking at her.
"It's been so long, and you still haven't turned around in front of him? Your Highness and I are counting on you to eat Wei Heyan to death and drag him into our camp."
There was no scruple in the conversation between the two, and Si Yiluo blurted out: "How can a person like Wei Heyan be willing to be inferior to others..."
"To be honest, with His Highness King Zhan's current strength, it is difficult to challenge Wei Heyan. Coupled with the restriction of status, Wei Heyan is born to be superior."
As long as Emperor Yao still trusts Wei Heyan, he will not hold back.
Shen Moran echoed: "That's what you said. Suddenly I remembered that I didn't know the heights of the world in the past, and I also thought about being with King Han...Last time the Queen hosted a banquet for us in the palace for Mrs. Song Guogong's birthday, I looked at Princess Han's His mental state is very bad, and the blue shadows under his eyes are very heavy, and he seems to be ill."
The real King of Han is Wei Heyan. Now the person bearing the title of King of Han is a stand-in, so Princess Han is also a stand-in.
"I saw her walking with sloppy steps and being in a trance, as if she was terminally ill."
The two of them talked about this casually, and Si Yiluo remembered the news sent by the subordinates who monitored the palace. Prince Han's palace had indeed invited imperial doctors into the palace recently.
"The topic has gone too far. What does Wei Heyan mean?"
Shen Moran smiled and closed her eyes.
"Isn't the meaning obvious? I want you to tell me and His Highness that the Emperor is seriously ill and is planning something. It's time to take action."
Si Yiluo asked: "Is he helping us?"
Shen Moran couldn't help but click a few points on her forehead and asked: "What are you thinking about? You are my person. If he doesn't help us, who else can he help? Even if he wants to plan In order to take the throne, we must first survive all of the emperor’s current princes!”
"We have to wait until the end of the year for us to fight among ourselves. Of course he will give us a hand. Since anyone who helps is a help, why not give us a favor and help us."
Shen Moran continued to explain, "Since he wants to help us now, he is sincere. As for whether he will fall out in the future... it depends on you."
Si Yiluo couldn't let her relax. Just thinking about falling out with Wei Heyan made her feel very uncomfortable. Wei Heyan had been her obsession from her previous life to this life. If she still wanted you to live and die...
"His meaning is very obvious. The emperor is ill this time and has begun to consider the issue of his successor."
Only then did Si Yiluo suddenly realize that this was the case!
Shen Moran sighed: "When people get old, they like to enjoy family happiness. Because of the cold treatment in the past few years, all the princes are not close to the emperor. I heard that the emperor has often summoned the two princesses in the past month. Moreover, the two princesses frequently interceded for Zhou Yu."
This was a signal. When Shen Panxing mentioned Zhou Yu, he was kicked out by Emperor Yao. When the two princesses mentioned it, not only did they not reprimand them, but they often summoned them...
Zhou Yu has touched Emperor Yao's reverse scale this time, and will not let him go so easily, but there is no guarantee that Emperor Yao will soften his heart if the two princesses talk to his ears too many times.
"If you give birth to a daughter as smart as you, the Emperor might think more highly of His Highness King Zhan."
Si Yiluo was originally meant to be a joke, but Shen Moran's eyes lit up and he agreed: "That's true! I don't know if it's too late to survive now!"
"How about we come together? If you are worried that you can't tie up Wei Heyan, just give birth to a son and tie him up. A tiger's poison does not eat its seeds. Zhou Yu even drugged Emperor Yao and was not sentenced to death, which shows that he is only cruel to his brothers. "
Si Yiluo interrupted her.
"Don't forget why His Royal Highness King Zhan pretended to be sick."
Emperor Yao suspected that Zhou Zhan was not his biological son, but he was worried about the Duke Protector's office and did not dare to do anything openly.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten that Jueming is still alive and is being locked up in a dungeon by His Highness. I have to find a way to clear the stigma of Concubine Jia."
