After the crown prince left, Emperor Jingming returned to the Yangxin Palace and tossed and turned on his bed like a pancake all night without any sleep.
In the early morning, Emperor Jingming fell into a sleepy sleep and never got up from bed.
Emperor Jingming was ill.
One day, two days, three days...the ministers who didn't have to attend court began to panic.
The princes also began to panic, and the most panicked among them was Prince Qi.
"Father is ill at the wrong time..." Prince Qi sighed to Princess Qi.
The Crown Prince's series of self-destructive actions, coupled with the scandal of Qianhe County being exposed to Emperor Jingming, are likely to shake the Crown Prince's position as crown prince.
Unfortunately, Emperor Jingming was ill.
Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out. After a period of illness, the pent-up anger of Emperor Jingming will dissipate, and when he thinks of the old times, the idea of ​​dismissing the prince will surely waver.
The King of Qi felt upset when he thought about this.
"Could it be that God is on the prince's side?"
Princess Qi advised, "Your Highness, don't think like that. If God really stood on the side of the Crown Prince, how could he have caused trouble time and time again and have been known by the Emperor? The Crown Prince has been constantly eroding the relationship between him and the Emperor, and sooner or later the Emperor will be completely disappointed in him."
King Qi smiled.
Every time he got into trouble, his father knew about it. What did it have to do with God? He was just secretly contributing to it.
Of course, other brothers may have contributed to this.
"If things change, who knows this
Morning and evening
When was it?
Princess Qi's eyes flickered: "What does your Highness mean?"
Prince Qi's eyes were cold and fierce: "Of course it's better to hurry up than to hurry up, seize the opportunity of my father's illness!"
Since his father happened to be ill at this time, he would turn a bad situation into a good one and make his father completely give up on the prince.
This time, he wants the prince's life!
The terrifying coldness in the eyes of the Prince of Qi made the Princess of Qi dare not ask any more questions. She just asked, "When can we go to the palace to visit our father?"
As soon as Emperor Jingming fell ill, the princes who were living outside the capital had to go to the palace once a day to show their filial piety, regardless of whether they could see him or not.
"Pack up and go now. We can't let others take the lead."
The King and his wife of Qi hurried to the palace and found that almost all of their brothers and their wives had arrived, except the King and his wife of Yan.
At this time, Jiang Si and Yu Jin were on a carriage heading to the palace.
One morning before leaving the house, Ah Huan vomited milk, causing the new couple to panic. They only left after making sure their daughter was fine.
The two were also discussing Emperor Jingming's illness at this time.
"Father has been ill for a few days and has not been seen. We don't know how his condition is."
Yu Jin sneered: "It's because the prince is angry about it."
Although the news of the woman from Jinli Town going to the capital to look for the father of her unborn child had not spread, he was familiar with the people in Shuntian Prefecture and had taken in a few people while training in Shuntian Prefecture, so he was the first to know about it.
What's more, he was the one who revealed the matter of the woman to King Qi without leaving any trace, so he had anticipated this scene.
Jiang Si lifted the car curtain and looked out the window.
The autumn sky is high and the clouds are light, the view is bright and boundless, making one feel open-minded when looking at it.
She lowered the car window curtain and said, "I'm afraid the crown prince won't be around for long."
She has not yet seriously discussed the matter of the second deposed prince with A-Jian, and now is the right time.
Yu Jin smiled: "The fourth brother is more anxious than us. He might take advantage of our father's illness to kill the prince."
Jiang Si sighed: "Yes, if the prince is deposed for the second time, it is unlikely that he can survive."
In the previous life, the crown prince was deposed twice for treason and was given poisoned wine. The crown princess was also killed, and only the crown prince's grandson and two daughters survived. The crown prince was imprisoned, and the two daughters were sent to an unknown family for foster care.
Jiang Si had no sympathy for the prince's death, but felt sorry for the princess.
As they were talking, they arrived in front of the palace gate, got off the carriage and headed for the Yangxin Palace.
"Seventh brother, you are the last ones to arrive." Prince Lu shouted when he saw Yu Jin coming in.
Yu Jin glanced at King Lu and said calmly: "It's the same if you don't see your father. Have you come early to chat?"
King Lu touched his nose and kept silent.
He always suffers losses when dealing with Lao Qi, so he should just keep his mouth shut.
There was movement at the door, and Pan Hai walked over.
"Eunuch Pan, how is our father?" people asked one after another.
They had been coming for several days in a row, but had not seen anyone from Emperor Jingming.
Pan Hai looked around, greeted everyone and said, "Your Majesty, please invite the princes and princesses in."
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I finally get to see someone today.
Among them, the prince was the most excited.
He had been frightened these past few days, and couldn't sleep well, constantly wondering how his father would punish him. He was even more worried when he couldn't see his father.
The prince couldn't wait to walk ahead.
Pan Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please stay."
Everyone stopped and looked at the prince and Pan Hai.
The prince asked impatiently, "Didn't the emperor ask us to come in? Why did Eunuch Pan stop me?"
Pan Haigan laughed and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor asked a few princes and princesses to come in..."
The prince was startled and asked in astonishment, "Father, the emperor won't see me?"
Pan Hai nodded slightly.
The prince's face quickly turned purple, and he trembled as if he wanted to question, but swallowed it back.
Everyone withdrew their strange looks and followed Pan Hai inside. Soon, only the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were left in the hall.
"Why didn't the Emperor see me?" After everyone had left, the Crown Prince could no longer contain himself and whispered angrily to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess glanced at the Crown Prince and said expressionlessly, "Your Highness should understand."
The prince paused, and clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound.
It's really embarrassing that the emperor refused to see him in front of so many people.
No, it's not just a matter of shame. Is my father ready to give up on him?
The prince shuddered, and his liver-colored face turned pale.
Seeing that the Crown Prince stopped talking, the Crown Princess naturally had no interest in paying attention to him.
She no longer even felt disappointed with this man who was ordered to comfort the disaster victims but ended up sleeping with women. Now she only hoped for one thing: when her father recovered from his illness, she would depose the crown prince on the grounds that he was immoral. This way, the family could at least live a stable life, and the crown prince would not succeed to the throne and harm the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The two of them said nothing and continued to wait in the hall.
Whether they will be summoned or not, they cannot leave early. This is a matter of attitude.
Emperor Jingming's illness was not serious, or it could be said that it was simply caused by the Crown Prince's repeated anger.
At this moment, he looked around at his sons, said a few words to each of them, and then waved his hand to send the group of people out.
Today's summons is to tell these bastards that he is not going to die yet and they don't need to think too much.
"Thank God, Father looks fine. He will be well soon."
The prince was in an anxious mood when he heard these words. For a moment he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy.
Pan Hai coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, you should go back. Several princes are about to leave..."
The prince walked out with a gloomy face, and the princess followed silently behind him.
Jiang Si glanced at the Crown Princess, thought for a moment, and slowed down his pace.
