Chapter 204 Whose son is he?

Jian Yue raised his head and kissed the person in front of him. Huangfu Chengyu's kiss came down very quickly and heavily. In order to please him, Jian Yue almost forgot to breathe. He could only feel the plum blossom fragrance coming towards him, until Huangfu Chengyu's voice fell into his ears and said, "Breathe."

Only now did people regain their senses.

Jian Yue's ears were dyed red, and his eyes were a little moist. He looked at Huangfu Chengyu in front of him and said, "Your Majesty?"

Huangfu Chengyu said: "Your blood is useful because I let you drink my blood when you were injured and unconscious."

Jian Yue was instantly startled, as if he suddenly woke up, and asked in surprise: "Why?"

He grabbed Huangfu Chengyu's sleeve anxiously. No wonder Huangfu Chengyu had been asking him to rest and not letting him enter the study to serve him with writing materials during this period of time. So this was the reason!

The sleeves were rolled up, and Jian Yue saw the deep red knife marks underneath the sleeves.

The knife marks were clearly visible, and the black spells made them particularly glaring. Jian Yue felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife, and his voice trembled as he opened his lips: "Why?"

Huangfu Chengyu said: "My blood is extremely poisonous, but you were poisoned by several poisons at the time, so the two poisons happened to complement each other and saved your life."

Jian Yue was shocked. He didn't expect that His Majesty was really much braver than himself. He dared to think of such a trick. He asked hesitantly, "Do I have the same poison in my body as Your Majesty?"

Huangfu Chengyu lowered his eyes to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Are you scared?"

Jian Yue said: "I was just thinking, if Your Majesty wants to detoxify in the future, I can taste it for you first, so that no one will want to harm you."

Huangfu Chengyu smiled and reminded him: "There is no antidote for this poison."

Jian Yue shook his head and said, "As long as it's poison, there must be an antidote. I believe Your Majesty will get better."

The black marks of the spell on Huangfu Chengyu's body were still so clear. Jian Yue held his hand and looked at it, asking, "Are these spells related to the Xue family, Your Majesty?"

"I don't know." Huangfu Chengyu lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist and said, "I was born with a weak heart. It was predicted that I would have a hard time surviving. They said it was something I was born with."

Jian Yue looked at these curse seals and felt that they were familiar, but he couldn't remember what the connection was for a moment. Although these curse seals did extend his life, they also tortured Huangfu Chengyu so much that he was in great pain every day, and he also bore the blame for the ominous incident.

"I will help your majesty find out." Jian Yue said, "Your majesty will definitely get better."

Huangfu Chengyu looked at Jian Yue's pale face and said, "You should heal your wound first. I think your life is shorter than mine."

Jian Yue: “…”

Is there anyone as comforting as you, Your Majesty? !

After a while, the imperial physician brought the medicine that Jian Yue was going to take.

After Jian Yue drank a bowl of the medicine himself, he felt sleepy because of the wound. The imperial physician said that he might have a fever at night and needed someone to watch him.

Huangfu Chengyu said: "Go to sleep, I will watch you."

Jian Yue said, "How can this be possible? Your Majesty has to travel tomorrow. How can you sit here and watch over me when you are so tired?"

Huangfu Chengyu thought for a moment and said, "That does make sense."

Jian Yue was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

The quilt was lifted, and Huangfu Chengyu lay down beside him and said, "In that case, go to sleep."

Jian Yue: “…”

Is that what he meant, Your Majesty?!

But it must be said that the smell of Huangfu Chengyu was indeed very soothing. The more Jian smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms around him, the more he felt at ease. In addition, he was really too tired. After a while, he fell asleep leaning against Huangfu Chengyu. In his deep sleep, he could still feel someone touching his forehead, and then a soft voice came from beside him:

"It's burning."

"Bring me some ice."

"His medicine can be prepared."

As he fell into a deep sleep, Jian Yue felt the medicine pouring in between his lips and teeth, mixed with a bit of the bloody fragrance of plum blossoms. He wanted to open his eyes, but he could only hear Huangfu Chengyu's low and gentle voice: "Go to sleep."

He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

I slept very deeply and when I opened my eyes, I was already on the roof of the carriage.

Jian Yue blinked dazedly, listening to the sound of wheels and carriages, and saw the spacious and gorgeous carriage roof and the golden bed beside him. He sat up and heard a low and elegant voice from the side: "Awake?"

"Your Majesty?" Jian Yue turned around after hearing this familiar voice. Huangfu Chengyu was sitting on a couch not far away. The carriage was very large and the couch was spacious. A man wearing a dragon robe and reading a memorial was leaning on a pillow and looking at him lazily. He asked, "Are we on the way?"

Huangfu Chengyu said, "We will arrive at the palace at noon today."

Jian Yue was shocked: "Did I sleep for so long?!"

Huangfu Chengyu said: "You have a high fever and have been sleeping for two days."

Jian Yue was shocked again. Fortunately, there were no temporary tasks when he was asleep, otherwise he would have missed everything. As soon as he woke up, the live broadcast room was opened. The audience who came over laughed when they saw that Jian Yue was thinking about the tasks as soon as he woke up:

“This is the mission brain!”

“That’s what working people are like.”

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being Butler Wang."

"A role model for our generation!"

The audience was talking, and Jian Yue took a break. Huangfu Chengyu didn't rush him, but just said, "If you are tired, take a rest for a while."

Jian Yue was just about to be moved.

Huangfu Chengyu said, "Once you enter the palace, you will be busy."

Jian Yue: “…Yes.”

He really lay back down, mainly because there was nothing to do in the carriage, so he might as well sleep for a while. He was just planning to take a nap, but he didn't expect that after he closed his eyes, when he opened them again, it was already dark!

Jian Yue woke up on the bed. When he sat up, he felt much more clear-headed.

This is the emperor's main palace.

The whole palace was magnificent, spacious and bright. He was lying on the dragon bed. Jian Yue sat up from the bed and looked at the golden curtains, still a little dazed. He thought back then that he couldn't even get in from the outside of the palace and was just a small eunuch in the Shangyi Bureau. Now he could actually lie on the dragon bed and sleep soundly. He was really successful as a worker.

Slowly sit up from the bed.

As soon as Jian Yue got up, someone came over. It was Xiao Yanzi. He asked, "Manager Wang, are you awake?"

"Yeah." Jian Yue put on his clothes and came out to ask, "Where's His Majesty?"

Xiao Yanzi said, "The battle at the border is urgent. His Majesty summoned the ministers to discuss the matter as soon as he came back. They are now in the Shangshufang. He has told you not to rush over after you wake up. You should rest for a while after recovering from a serious illness."

Jian Yue said: "I'm fine now. Who is on duty with your Majesty now?"

Xiao Yanzi said, "It's Eunuch Gao."

Fly high.

Ever since they performed meritorious service in protecting the emperor last time, Gao Fei and Xiao Lizi have been transferred to the main hall to be on duty. Jian Yue feels more at ease with the two of them. Now that dangers are lurking everywhere, he may not be able to feel at ease no matter who they are. It is actually better to have someone he knows well.

As Jian passed through the night from the bedroom, he could hear the faint voices of discussion coming from the study: "Your Majesty, the flood in the country has just subsided, and the treasury is empty. It is really not appropriate to start a war again."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I also think that we cannot fight this war for the sake of the people. In the past, once a war breaks out, the people will suffer. The flood in the north has just subsided, and the victims have been resettled. We cannot start another war."

Huangfu Chengyu had been listening quietly to the discussions of the people below.

Wait for the sound to stop.

Huangfu Chengyu looked at the people below and said slowly: "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"

Everyone seemed to pause for a moment.

An old minister stood up and said, "I think that since Anguo is interested in marriage, and their Princess Chaoyan has always been interested in Your Majesty, and now Your Majesty's position of Empress has been vacant, Your Majesty might as well go with the flow. Princess Chaoyan has always been very interested in Your Majesty, and the envoys from Anguo have brought a lot of bargaining chips this time, so they must be sincere."

Jian Yue's heart was shocked when she heard about the marriage.

Even as I stood there, my brain went blank for a moment and I forgot what I was doing.

It's not that he forgot that Huangfu Chengyu was the emperor, but the days in Bailu Temple were too good. He even forgot that Huangfu Chengyu was the king of a country. He was responsible for not only love, but also the people. So he would have many concubines, lovers, and children with them...

Jian Yue stood there with his mind blank.

But he only heard a clear, slightly sarcastic laugh coming from the hall. Huangfu Chengyu said, "You mean that Daqian's peace can only be solved by me getting married?"

The ministers have not spoken yet.

Instead, the Prime Minister's voice rang out, saying, "If we can turn hostility into friendship and allow the people of Dawn to live in peace, that would be a good thing. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it now."

Huangfu Chengyu said: "Of course I don't mind."

The words were so bland that it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"What about the caravan that was burned, killed and looted while passing through Anguo, and the innocent villagers of Daqian who were massacred?" Huangfu Chengyu said, "Don't they mind?"

The whole hall fell silent. Jian Yue saw Huangfu Chengyu sitting at the top through the bead curtain. He was wearing a majestic dragon robe, his eyes were sharp and cold, and he seemed to have a smile on his lips, but his aura was very strong. He sat on the highest throne, facing the aggressive officials below without fear. He put his thoughts aside and walked to Huangfu Chengyu's side.

No matter what time it was, he didn't want Huangfu Chengyu to face the enemy's difficulties alone.

Huangfu Chengyu glanced at the people around him. Jian Yue gave him a reassuring look. Huangfu Chengyu withdrew his gaze, but loosened his hands, which had been tightly clenched on his legs.

"I am making friends with the princess of the enemy country. Even if I agree, will they agree? Will the ancestors of Daqian agree?" Huangfu Chengyu said in a deep and powerful voice: "Will the Xue family army that has guarded the border for hundreds of years agree?"

The Prime Minister said, "Your Majesty, this is just a temporary measure. If war breaks out again at this moment, it will only cause more casualties. Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the people who are suffering?"

You know, the reason why the national treasury is so empty is that a huge amount of money was allocated for disaster relief, and all that was sent were fine grains. How could this happen? Isn't this corruption? Isn't there something wrong with the officials in charge of disaster relief?

The prime minister is the head of all officials, and his opinions are the opinions of all officials. He takes the lead in opposing the war, and other court officials naturally follow him. If Jian Yue remembers correctly, when Huangfu Chengyu was poisoned at Bailu Mountain, the prime minister was among those who discussed with the imperial teacher how to save the emperor.

Just at this moment.

The Imperial Master stood up and said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is no need to be so excited. I think what your Majesty said makes sense. Our Daqian is a powerful country. We have won our position as a powerful country by ourselves. If we seek a marriage alliance for such a small predicament, it would be a loss of face. Moreover, I heard that the princess has a savage and barbaric personality. How can she be the queen?"

The Prime Minister looked at the Imperial Master with some displeasure and said, "Master Imperial Master, you are considering the overall situation, but have you never considered the national treasury?"

The national teacher smiled and said: "Although the national treasury is a little empty now, this national teacher will naturally not let Daqian be without soldiers. If that day really comes, I will naturally open the altar and pray for the divine soldiers from heaven to protect Daqian!"

As soon as he said this, many people's faces improved.

They are very pious and believe in the altar. This is the source of their confidence and faith. With the divine soldiers sent from heaven, everything can be solved naturally.

Everyone looked at the emperor.

The Imperial Master even said: "Your Majesty, please trust me!"

Jian Yue just felt that the Imperial Master definitely had bad intentions. The so-called Imperial Master must be doing something strange by being quiet. He had been holding back and not saying anything just now, but now he was pretending to be a good guy. He would not believe him even if he said he had no conspiracy.

Now it is a question whether to agree or not.

Everyone was waiting for the emperor's decision, but the emperor just said to the people below: "Bring the people up."

Everyone was stunned.

Then he saw someone leading some people over. Jian Yue took a closer look and found that it was the old man and his grandson who he had rescued outside that time!

These two people were the victims of the flood who had fled to the capital. As soon as the old man and his grandson came in, they knelt down in the hall. He had white hair all over his head, but he looked in good spirits. He said tremblingly, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty..."

Huangfu Chengyu said: "No need to be polite. You have just recovered from a serious illness and there is no need to do these empty formalities. Please give him a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old man said, "My grandson and I are among the victims of the flood. The riverbanks in our north collapsed and the people were living in misery. Originally, no one could survive, but Your Majesty issued an order to open the door of the temple so that we could have a place to stay. We knew that Your Majesty must be a benevolent monarch, and now we dare to come to the capital to ask for a way to survive."

The prime minister was somewhat shocked and asked, "Haven't all the disaster victims been resettled? Why are they coming to Beijing?"

The old man's voice was trembling as he said, "The rice and flour provided for disaster relief were all mixed with stones and gravel. We couldn't swallow them at all. Families with able-bodied men could get more, but those without were left with nothing to eat. We really couldn't survive, so we came to Beijing..."

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall was stunned.

The prime minister immediately said to the imperial teacher: "The one who is going to control the flood this time is Mr. Liu who was recommended by the imperial teacher. The imperial teacher must be responsible for this matter!"

The Imperial Master did not expect that a pot would fall upon his head. He immediately said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is wrong. Mr. Liu is only responsible for flood control, but disaster relief is the responsibility of the Prime Minister's son, Prince Wang!"

The two men started biting each other immediately.

Huangfu Chengyu said: "Bring Prince Wang up as well."

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that Young Master Wang had been brought up. Jian Yue recognized this Young Master Wang. He was the one wearing white clothes outside the restaurant who punched and kicked the old man.

After not seeing him for a few days, Prince Wang's clothes had turned gray. When he was brought up, he was still screaming, "How dare you arrest me? Do you know who my father is? My father is the prime minister. How dare you arrest me? Dad! Save me!"

The prime minister didn't expect that it was really his son. His face turned pale and he said quickly: "Your Majesty! There must be a misunderstanding. My son would never do anything corrupt. Your Majesty, please be clear!"

Huangfu Chengyu sneered and said, "Of course I am willing to believe the Prime Minister, but this guy confessed everything after only one night in the prison. What do you think?"

The prime minister had never expected that his stupid son would be so unpromising. He could only say immediately, "Your Majesty, I know my son. He doesn't have the courage. He must have been instigated by someone. He went with Mr. Liu. How could he have the courage? Your Majesty, please investigate!"

Huangfu Chengyu looked at the Imperial Master with a smile: "What do you think, Imperial Master?"

The Imperial Master did not expect that the fire would actually burn him, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty! I know Mr. Liu's character very well. He is definitely not someone who would do such a thing, Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Chengyu curled his lips and said, "This is strange. You all say it's impossible. Who did this?"

Just when the atmosphere was serious.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside: "The Queen Mother is here!"

Everyone turned around. Logically speaking, the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but the empress dowager was different. She had the privilege of regent. Plus, all the ministers knew that the emperor was a sickly man who might not live for more than two years. Moreover, the empress dowager had a very close relationship with the prime minister and the imperial teacher. Therefore, everyone in the court followed the empress dowager's lead, and no one had any objection to her coming.

The Queen Mother came over and said, "I heard that the Emperor didn't get enough rest after returning to the palace, so I came to see him. I didn't expect to catch such a good show, so I came to see it."

The emperor smiled and said, "I am sorry that you have worried my mother. Please give her a seat."

The Queen Mother came over and sat down. She glanced at the people below and asked, "What is the Emperor doing?"

The emperor said, "I am investigating the flood. Prince Wang, as the minister of disaster relief, allowed the relief food for the people affected by the disaster to be replaced. According to the law, this serious crime should be beheaded and displayed to the public. I am discussing this matter with the national teacher and the prime minister."

Prince Wang was so frightened when he heard this: "What? You can't kill me, you can't kill me!! Aunt, please save me!"

The Queen Mother glanced at Prince Wang and said to Huangfu Chengyu, "Emperor, you'd better investigate this matter thoroughly. Although he is in charge of this matter, he is still young after all. It is possible that he was deceived and fooled by the people below."

Huangfu Chengyu sneered and said, "What does the Queen Mother mean?"

The two people sat very close.

The Queen Mother whispered, "Emperor, you can't kill them now. You have to know that the Prime Minister has only one son. If you kill him, you will be an enemy of the Prime Minister. At a time when the country is in turmoil, it is not a good thing to make the ministers unstable. Besides, this matter involves the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master's disciples have made great efforts in providing disaster relief and resettling the people. If you kill both of them, it will easily arouse the dissatisfaction of all officials."

This sounds reasonable at first glance.

Jian Yue felt that there was actually no logic in this. In order to stabilize the court, even guilty ministers could not be killed. In the long run, wouldn't this just encourage the arrogance of corrupt officials? It was simply because you thought the emperor had no foundation, so these people could not be touched.

really.

The Queen Mother said to the princes below: "Tell me, did the people below deceive you and deceive you?"

Prince Wang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said, "Yes, yes, aunt! I am innocent! I really knew nothing about this matter. I was tortured into confessing in the prison yesterday! I am innocent!"

He cried out for injustice because he had found someone to back him up.

That’s not all.

Young Master Wang kowtowed and looked upwards. When Jian Yue met his gaze, he felt that something was wrong.

really.

Prince Wang's pupils shrank as he looked at Jian Yue. He said loudly, "I know him!"

All the court officials looked at Jian Yue.

Prince Wang said excitedly: "I met him in front of Zuixian Tower a month ago. At that time, he came over and rescued this old man and this child. There is something wrong with him. He must have colluded with this old man and the child to deceive you!"

Jian Yue: “…”

He really didn't expect to be shot even while lying down.

The Queen Mother was also a little surprised and asked: "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Prince Wang said quickly, "Impossible, I won't make a mistake, it was him, he was the one who took the two people away at that time, this old man and the child lied, they should also be tried!"

Jian Yue had no choice but to speak up. He said, "Master Wang, what purpose and reason do I have to frame you?"

Prince Wang choked up and said quickly, "How should I know this? But you are also a suspect."

The Queen Mother had long been unhappy with Jian Yue, and now she had finally seized the opportunity. She quickly said to Huangfu Chengyu, "Emperor, since Chief Steward Wang is also a suspect, then in order to ensure fairness, send him to the Tianlao of the Ministry of Punishment for trial as well. This is fair."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

You have to know what the Ministry of Punishment is. Anyone who goes in there will either die or be crippled. What's more, Jian Yue was already seriously injured. If he goes in and is tortured again, he will be half dead.

This was definitely aimed at putting Jian Yueyu to death.

The empress dowager smiled, and her purpose was very clear. She just looked at the emperor like this, forcing him to make a choice: If you want to protect your little eunuch, you must also protect the prime minister's son. If you don't, the worst that can happen is that both of you will die.

Jian Yue met the gazes of the Queen Mother and Huangfu Chengyu, and he realized that this was directed at them.

The Prime Minister was naturally happy. He finally seized the opportunity, looked at Jian Yue, and said quickly: "These dogs and slaves really harbored evil intentions to frame my son. If you, Mr. Wang, are doing this for justice, you should have no objection, right? Come here..."

It seemed that she was about to gain the upper hand.

A golden light appeared in front of Jian Yue:

【Eight Triggers】:

[Gossip: Why is the Prime Minister so close to the Queen Mother and is so devoted to protecting her? In fact, it is because the two of them, Prince Wang and Prince Xiao, cheated on the late Emperor and the Queen Mother gave birth to the Prime Minister! ]

As soon as the words fell.

Jian Yue was shocked. Damn! Wasn't it said that the one who had an affair with the Queen Mother was the Imperial Master? It turns out that the Prime Minister also had one? !

The Prime Minister's face changed, the State Master's face changed, the Queen Mother's face changed, and the Prince on the ground's face changed. The State Master didn't expect that he had also been cuckolded. It turned out that he was a big victim!

Another golden light flashed by, the card count was reset, and another Bagua dropped:

【Eight Triggers】:

[Gossip: Latest news, latest news! In fact, the Prime Minister is infertile! ]

Jane Yue choked.

The others were also choked up, "Oh my god!" Everyone was a little upset. Whose child is this?!

What was even more devastating was Prince Wang. Whose son was he?!
