Chapter 1084: Something is wrong with the painting style
Daohua was particularly happy to get a Jingsui grass seed. The public security in ancient times was not so safe, especially for a family like theirs. Power struggles were inevitable, and one could be implicated in an assassination if not careful.
With the Jingsui grass, she will be able to make the Eight Meridians Pill, and then both her son and daughter will be able to practice internal energy.
Now that she has learned how to protect herself, she won't have to worry too much about where the children go.
Looking at the rice flowers with eyes curved with smile, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but ask, "Can we grow them this time?"
Compared to the ambiguity in her previous answer to Chu Lang, this time Daohua was very confident: "Of course, I have experience, and I must grow it."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang became more expectant. After using the Eight Meridians Pill to open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, practicing internal energy would be twice as effective with half the effort. He also hoped that the children would learn some kung fu to protect themselves.
Daohua carefully put the seeds into her purse (actually her space), and then told Xiao Yeyang about returning to Xiliang: "We haven't returned for such a long time, Master will definitely be worried."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent a pigeon back to tell my uncle that we will be staying in the capital for a while longer."
Daohua was relieved. After returning to the palace, Sanxiao couldn't wait to find Prince Ping.
That evening, while the family was having dinner, Defu came to report: "The Emperor just called the Fourth Prince, the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince into the palace."
"According to the news from the palace, the emperor has ordered several princes to go to the Qianqing Palace every day from now on to review memorials with the Sixth Prince."
Upon hearing this, Prince Ping quickly glanced at Xiao Yeyang. Seeing that his son remained silent and looked a little solemn, he asked uncertainly, "Is there really something wrong with my royal brother's health?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Prince Ping, thought for a moment and said, "If father is worried about the emperor's uncle, why not go to the palace tomorrow to take a look?"
Prince Ping hummed and lost interest in eating.
The next day, Prince Ping entered the palace and looked at the emperor who was drowsy sitting on the dragon throne. Then he looked at the princes who were helping to correct memorials in the hall, and his worries grew stronger.
Among the princes, except for the fourth prince and the sixth prince who had already entered the court, the seventh prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince had just received their assignments, and the tenth prince was still studying in the Southern Study with Xiao Morong.
Now that several people have gathered together, each of them has different thoughts.
Several princes were keenly aware that there was something wrong with the emperor's health, and they all had other thoughts in private.
Among them, only the Fourth Prince was doing his own thing in an orderly manner, but every time he looked at the Emperor secretly, there was suspicion in the depths of his eyes.
The one who was the most uneasy was the Sixth Prince. He never expected that his father would suddenly call the Fourth Prince and others into the palace. In this way, he would no longer be the only candidate for the heir to the throne.
Changchun Palace.
The Sixth Prince said anxiously to Consort Shu, "Mother, although Father's coma is getting longer and longer, what if he appoints someone else as his successor when he wakes up? Wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"
Concubine Shu's expression was also extremely grim. "I had originally hoped to have you ascend the throne smoothly, but I didn't expect the Emperor to do this. This is forcing us to take a risky tactic."
Having said this, he pondered for a while.
"Since Xiao Yeyang has been refusing to return to Xiliang, then you should find a way to lure him out of the capital for a while."
The Sixth Prince was shocked and asked tremblingly, "Mother, what are you going to do?"
A cold glint flashed across Concubine Shu's eyes. "Now that things have come to this, what do you think I'm going to do? Turn your father into a complete idiot, and then pass the throne to you."
Seeing the Sixth Prince's anxious expression, Concubine Shu sighed, "I took Xiao Yeyang away from the capital because I didn't want him to get involved. As long as no one objects to the imperial decree, you will be the emperor."
"As long as all the officials acknowledge you, even if Xiao Yeyang has doubts in his heart, he will be helpless."
"Xiao Yeyang is very loyal to your father. I did this because I don't want him to lead the Xiliang army to attack you when you just became emperor."
"And once you've secured your throne, you'll have the final say on how to deal with Xiao Yeyang."
The Sixth Prince was silent for a moment, then he said firmly, "Don't worry, mother. I will lead Xiao Yeyang out of the capital."
Prince Ping's Mansion.
When Daohua heard that Xiao Mokuan was coming, her expression changed quickly, then she smiled and asked the maid to bring him over.
"Greetings to Auntie."
Daohua smiled as she looked at the young man in front of her who had no faults in etiquette or rules, but there was not much warmth in her eyes. She already knew about the swapping of the twins' sachets.
She didn't believe that Xiao Mokuan didn't know that the sachet was harmful, but he still replaced it for the twins, showing no regard for brotherly love at all.
"Why is Mo Kuan here?"
Daohua asked kindly.
Xiao Mokuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen the rice awns and rice seedlings for a few days. I missed them a lot, so I thought of coming to see them."
As he said this, he touched his head with a silly smile.
"I wonder if the rice awns and rice seedlings have been forgotten for me."
Daohua smiled: "How could that be? They are thinking of you too." Then she personally took Xiao Mokuan to Pingxitang to find the twins.
The twins were obviously surprised when they saw Xiao Mokuan.
Hasn’t Sixth Brother been arrested yet?
Is the game not over yet?
Thinking of the emperor's previous instructions, asking them not to expose their sixth brother, the twins immediately rushed towards Xiao Mokuan with smiles on their faces.
"Sixth brother, do you still want to play games?"
"We won't lose to you."
Xiao Mokuan was a little surprised by what the twins said, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that they liked playing games with him.
Knowing that he couldn't get the twins out of the palace right away, and seeing Daohua standing by, Xiao Mokuan could only patiently play boring games with the twins.
In the evening, Xiao Yeyang returned, and Daohua told him about Xiao Mokuan's visit to look for the twins. "Now that the Fourth Prince and the others have been summoned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince must be restless. Now that they've sent Mokuan here, are they planning to target the twins again?"
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while: "If Mo Kuan comes again next time, just let him do it."
Daohua frowned, looking somewhat reluctant.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to the children. All three children are accompanied by secret guards."
Daohua still looked unhappy and glared at Xiao Yeyang: "If anything happens to the child, I will never forgive you."
Xiao Yeyang smiled bitterly. The child was his lifeblood. Without adequate protection, how could he let the child take risks? "Uncle Emperor has also sent the imperial guards."
After hearing this, Daohua's expression looked better.
Xiao Mokuan came to see the twins for several days in a row. One day, after successfully getting rid of the servants who were serving the twins, he said to the twins seductively, "Sixth Brother, how about taking you out of the house to play?"
Dao Mang's eyes lit up: "Sixth brother, are you going to do something bad again?"
These words scared Xiao Mokuan so much that his face changed drastically. He almost thought that the twins had seen through his true intentions, but when he saw the twins staring at him eagerly, he immediately realized that he was overthinking.
However, he still asked unnaturally: "How can you say it's a bad thing?"
Dao Miao asked rudely, "Then why did you send all our maids away?"
Xiao Mokuan: “.” Did the twins know that he deliberately dismissed the servants?
Dao Mang saw Xiao Mokuan's expression change, so he quickly took his hand and patted it, comforting him, "Sixth brother, don't worry, we will cooperate with you."
Dao Miao also urged, "Sixth brother, take us out of the house quickly. If we are discovered, we won't be able to leave."
Xiao Mokuan: “.”
The secret guard who secretly protects the twins: "."
The style of painting seems a little wrong!
