Xiao Yanli, who was brought back to his senses by his voice, said: "..."
Xiao Yanli felt a pain and a sweet taste in his mouth belatedly. He put the chess piece away as if nothing had happened, picked up the cold tea on the table, and rinsed his mouth.
"It's nothing, I just lost my mind for a moment, let's go."
He went to change his clothes while Uncle Zhang waited outside the house.
He stared at the blooming flowers and couldn't understand why Xiao Yanli was so worried when everything was going according to their plan?
Even before the throne was established, he was already so suspicious. If he really became the emperor, what would be his fate?
Things that he had never thought of were now clearly in front of him, and Uncle Zhang's eyes were deep.
…
In the bedroom, the emperor lay weakly on the dragon bed, surrounded by dozens of imperial doctors and important officials.
Worry was written on everyone's face.
The imperial physician was already sweating profusely and looked at the emperor from time to time.
This pulse is healthier than his, it doesn't seem like he's sick!
The imperial physicians took turns taking the patient's pulse, and without exception they all had the same expression after taking the pulse, which made everyone's heart hang in their hands.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Zhang, what's wrong with the emperor?"
Doctor Zhang moved his lips, looked at the emperor, and seemed to be about to speak, but stopped himself.
There is indeed nothing wrong with the pulse, but it is also a fact that the emperor fainted in public, so should he tell the truth?
What if His Majesty did it on purpose? If he tells it out, wouldn’t that ruin His Majesty’s plans?
While he was still struggling with this, everyone saw that the actions he had just taken showed that the emperor was in trouble!
Everyone became panicked for a moment.
Xiao Yanli also arrived at this time.
He looked at the expressions of sadness on the faces of the people, and his doubts grew heavier. He wanted to observe first, but Fu Ping saw him with his sharp eyes and immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is here. Please get up and take a look!"
He shouted as if he wanted to see him for the last time.
Xiao Yanli's heart couldn't help but tighten.
He knelt before the dragon bed: "Father?"
The emperor's face turned pale. He glanced at him when he heard the voice and said, "I'm fine. Let them all go. I'll be fine after a few days of rest!"
Neither his voice nor his expression looked unhurt.
"Doctor, please tell them."
Since the emperor had said so, Doctor Zhang naturally had to tell the truth: "Your Majesty's pulse is healthy. He may have been overworked today. There is no need to worry."
But if you say this now, it has almost no credibility.
Everyone looked worried.
Imperial doctors: “…”
They have it so hard!
Xiao Yanli was not too surprised. The medicine indeed had no effect on the pulse, so it was useless for people who took Chinese medicine to seek medical treatment. On the contrary, they would think that they were healthy and then slowly be eroded by the properties of the medicine.
All the signs matched, and even though his intuition still told him something was wrong, Xiao Yanli could only attribute it to his own suspicion.
The emperor seemed to be fed up with so many people gathered around, and waved his hand to let Fuping ask everyone to leave.
After everyone left, the emperor's weak eyes suddenly became bright.
"Fortunately, His Majesty asked a few more questions, otherwise the Sixth Prince would have become suspicious over the past few days." Fuping brought water to clean him up.
The emperor closed his eyes and said, "There are too many coincidences. He must have become suspicious a long time ago. Let him see it with his own eyes today. Even if he still has doubts, he will not let go of this opportunity."
Fuping responded softly.
…
Uncle Zhang could not enter the palace with Xiao Yanli, so he waited outside the palace. When he saw Xiao Yanli coming out, he hurried to greet him.
After he got on the carriage and walked two blocks, Uncle Zhang spoke: "Your Highness saw it with your own eyes? The Emperor..."
"I saw that he was indeed drugged. I told Su Bai to ambush the soldiers and horses he bought. He didn't need to show up. Let... Ji Tong lead them."
"Separate our people from his."
"yes!"
The wheels slowly rolled over the ground, and Xiao Yanli let out a long sigh.
He remembered that Chao En once said before his death that the person sitting in that position was himself.
Aren’t the current scenes pushing us towards that outcome?
My suspicions are nothing but groundless worries.
The breath he exhaled seemed to take away all his previous troubles, and Xiao Yanli felt a lot more relaxed.
After returning to the prince's mansion, Uncle Zhang went straight to Ji Tong's room and gave him instructions.
Ji Tong chuckled and nodded: "Please tell His Highness, I will do my best."
After Uncle Zhang left, Ji Tong's face suddenly darkened.
If Xiao Yanli is supported to become emperor, no one from the Xu family will be able to stay. Without them, there will be only a handful of people in Shengjing who can lead troops.
Moreover, there was a sudden change of dynasties and the situation was turbulent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they would surely be able to take down Apocalypse in one fell swoop!
He sat down at his desk, picked up a pen and paper, but after thinking for a moment, he put it down again.
The person Xiao Yanli sent to look after him, his so-called younger brother, Ji He, was next door.
Ji Tong knew that Ji He would secretly search every day while he was practicing martial arts.
He can't leave any handle.
As expected, just as he put down his pen, Ji He knocked on the door: "Brother?"
Ji Tong's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but his tone was gentle: "Come in."
Perhaps because they were familiar with each other, Ji He was no longer as reserved as before. He ran in and looked at him: "I just saw someone come in. Who is it? What do you want to see me for?"
He lay in front of the table, but his eyes did not look around, only staring at Ji Tong.
Ji Tong also understood why he didn't look around randomly.
After all, he has searched the room thoroughly, and I'm afraid I don't know as much as he does.
Thinking of this, Ji Tong sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face: "It was someone beside His Highness who told me something."
What he said was vague. When he heard that it was the order from His Highness, Ji He said, "Oh," and did not ask any further questions.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How's your sword training going?"
"Not bad, brother, do you want to take a look?"
"Um."
On the other side, Uncle Zhang, who had given instructions to the two men, was reporting to Xiao Yanli.
"Ji Tong readily agreed and asked me to tell His Highness that he would do his best. Su Bai had no complaints about His Highness not letting him show up. The only thing was that he wanted to see the Emperor later."
Xiao Yanli nodded.
…
The next day, the emperor still failed to attend court. According to news from the palace, the emperor had coughed up blood.
However, even at this point, the emperor still insisted that he was fine and did not change the crown prince, which made the ministers a little panicked.
One minister couldn't help but suggest that at this point, it would be better to release the prince first.
Some people agree, and naturally some people disagree.
The crown prince has been deposed, which means that the emperor no longer favors him. Now among the princes, only the sixth prince can take on this important task!
There was no result after all the arguing, after all, everything happened too suddenly.
However, what was even more sudden was that while they were attending the morning court, the Sixth Prince led his troops and surrounded their mansion!
Everyone: “!!!”
