Chapter 255 Trivial Tricks

The Fifth Prince knew that only he could hear what Qiao Niannian said, so he naturally didn't want the royal secrets to be spread.

At the same time, he also had some knowledge of Qiao Niannian's abilities.

This Master Qiao really had some skills, but they were just trifling tricks.

Qiao Niannian knew that the other party didn't believe it, but she didn't rush to prove anything. She

quietly handed over a talisman.

"When you talk to your father, hold this talisman in your hand, so that the people who monitor your father won't be able to hear your conversation."

Qiao Niannian's voice fell, and the Fifth Prince had an extra talisman in his hand. Although he didn't believe the talisman, he still put it away.

Leave the inn.

The Fifth Prince was completely relieved.

He thought it was some kind of expert, but it turned out to be a little girl.

The fifth prince came to the door of his father's bedroom, and before he got close, he smelled a strong scent of Chinese medicine.

Back in the palace, the fifth prince kept unconsciously thinking about what Qiao Niannian said.

The fifth prince did not want to provoke a fight between the two countries, so it was better not to talk about this matter.

He did this to resolve the doubts in his heart.

His father's illness seemed to be getting worse and worse. There was not such a strong smell of medicine before, but now it is a bit irritating.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that Xia Rongyu and others were in Xichu, it would be impossible for these people to leave alive.

The fifth prince decided to meet his father. He wanted to see for himself what was going on.

She said that if she met her father, she would know what was going on.

The Great Xia Dynasty went to war with the Barbarians. In the final analysis, it was actually the Barbarians who took the initiative to provoke the war. They also sent troops to help. Isn't this taking the initiative to provoke the war?

The fifth prince left with his guards, and the guards couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness, Xia Rong and them may have come to Xichu for some purpose. Shouldn't this be notified to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

He walked forward, and the eunuch saw the fifth prince coming and immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Fifth Prince, why are you here?"

Originally, he disagreed with the Crown Prince's plan to send troops to reinforce the Barbarians.

Although he didn't know what the Kingdom of Yue had experienced? But Yuan Buluqi was too boastful.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very stubborn on that matter and there was no room for negotiation.

He didn't believe that Western Chu was like Yue, with people eyeing its fate, but he was afraid, what if it was true?

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to take this trip. No matter what, it was to make Qiao Nian Nian give up.

"Xia Rong and his group are only about twenty people, what can they do?"

Hearing this, the guard nodded, thinking that his prince was right.

"If His Royal Highness knew about this, he would probably take action against Xia Rongyu, and then it would only exacerbate the feud between the Great Xia Dynasty and Western Chu."

The Fifth Prince waved his hand: "Don't tell His Royal Highness about this for the time being."

The Fifth Prince spoke gently: "I haven't seen my father for a long time, so I came here to see him. How is my father's health recently?"

The eunuch immediately replied: "The emperor's health is still the same. He has been ill again in the past two days. The imperial physician came and prescribed a lot of medicine, and the emperor has been drinking it these days." The

Fifth Prince nodded. His father's illness was an old problem. Since two years ago, he was physically exhausted and sometimes fell into a coma.

Speaking of which, in the past year, he rarely saw his father awake.

Every time he came, his father was either in a coma or in the process of falling asleep.

The fifth prince and the eunuch walked into the room together. The emperor was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking like he was fast asleep.

The eunuch glanced at the emperor, then lowered his brows and waited on the side.

The fifth prince looked at the eunuch: "I want to stay with my father for a while, you go out and wait!"

Hearing this, the eunuch looked at the emperor again, and made sure that the emperor would not wake up, then turned and left.

After the eunuch turned and left, the fifth prince stepped forward and covered his father with the quilt.

He looked at his father's cheeks, which had become much thinner, and exhaled slightly. He

didn't know what the strange disease of his father was. The imperial physician could not see the problem, but his father's body was getting weaker day by day.

He washed the handkerchief on the side and helped his father wipe his body.

In fact, the palace maids and eunuchs do this every day. The fifth prince did this just to show his filial piety.

When the handkerchief in the fifth prince's hand fell on the emperor, the emperor actually opened his eyes.

There was a hint of joy in the fifth prince's eyes.

He was about to speak when he saw his father shaking his head at him, signaling him not to speak.

The fifth prince hurriedly kept silent. At this time, he couldn't help but think of Qiao Niannian's words in his mind.

If you talk to your father, take out the talisman paper, and the person who is monitoring your father will not be able to hear them talking.

It's really strange. There are only my father's people in this palace. Who dares to monitor my father!

But my father's meaning just now was clearly not to let him speak.

The fifth prince took out the talisman paper directly, held it in his hand, and then spoke.

"Father, I met a master today who said that if you put this thing in your palm, the people who are monitoring you will not be able to hear us talking."

The emperor looked at the fifth prince and did not speak. Instead, he pushed the basin on the side to the ground.

With a loud "bang", the water in the basin spilled all over the floor.

The emperor looked at the door quietly and found that no one came in. Only then did he believe what the fifth prince said.

He spoke slowly.

"My son, what this master said is true. The people around father were sent by the prince to monitor father."

The fifth prince was shocked.

Why did the prince do this?

The emperor knew that the fifth prince did not understand, but he did not have the energy to explain so much, so he could only speak hurriedly.

"In short, don't believe the prince's words, and be careful of him."

The fifth prince was a little shocked.

His father didn't teach them this way before. He always taught them to be united and friendly, and that the prince was the future monarch, so they should respect him and listen to him.

And they have always done this.

Even though the prince has been in charge of the country for many years, he is still as good to them as before.

He has never found any problems.

But what does his father mean?

The emperor was conscious for a short time, and after he said this, he fell into a coma again.

The fifth prince put away the talisman paper and called the eunuch in.

As soon as the eunuch came in, he saw the basin dropped on the ground and was surprised.

"Fifth Prince, how did the basin fall to the ground?"

The Fifth Prince made up an excuse: "I wanted to wipe my father's cheeks, but I was clumsy and knocked the basin over."

The eunuch frowned.

The basin was made of copper, and it would make a loud noise if it fell to the ground. He had been guarding outside the door. But he didn't hear any sound.

It was really strange. Usually he could hear the sound of a stool falling in the room, but this time he didn't hear the sound of the copper basin falling to the ground.

The Fifth Prince never paid attention to the expression of a eunuch before, but his father's words just now made him think more about some problems.
