Xiao Chengjun frowned and read the message in his hand several times. It was a critical time to reorganize the Chen family. How could the emperor suddenly fall ill?

"Has the Right Prime Minister been sent to prison?" Lou Jing came over and raised her hand to help him spread his eyebrows.

Xiao Chengjun sighed and slowly shook his head. Everything was ready, all he needed was the east wind. As long as he persisted for a day or two, the Chen family would collapse.

"The emperor has always been in good health, but he may have been sick because of the Chen family," Zhao Xi said coolly, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has all the evidence, and maybe it turns out that the third prince is not the emperor's biological son... Oops.

..." Before he could finish his sentence, Lou Jing slapped him on the back of his head.

"Is this what the Prime Minister of Fujian would say?" Lou Jing glared at him. The prince's background should not be talked about nonsense.

"Stop making trouble." Xiao Chengjun glanced at the two people helplessly, picked up his pen and started writing.

Emperor Chunde's illness seemed to be very serious this time, which was completely different from the last time he fainted. As a son of a human being, Xiao Chengjun had to show his filial piety at all costs. He immediately wrote a letter asking for an order to return to Beijing to attend to his illness, which made people hurry up.

Sent to the capital.

The emperor suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma. He only said that he occasionally felt cold, and the government affairs were managed by the left and right prime ministers.

Xiao Chengjun's fold was quickly intercepted and sent directly to the hands of the right prime minister. Chen Shichang stared at the fold in his hand, his eyes red, "He had a good idea!"

The vassal king cannot leave the fiefdom without an edict, but if the capital is in danger, he can send troops to assist the king. This letter of request to serve the emperor cannot be agreed to or dismissed.

Sun Liang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, took a look at the document from the King of Fujian. He closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then said: "Master, you must not suppress this document. You must reply to it as soon as possible."

"Why?" Chen Shichang frowned. He had originally planned to keep the deal under wraps, because regardless of whether he agreed or not, it would give Xiao Chengjun a reason to send troops.

If he agrees with the King of Min's service, the vassal king will definitely bring his personal guards to the capital. Xiao Chengjun will take this opportunity to bring his troops, and the Chen family will make wedding clothes for others. If he does not agree, Xiao Chengjun can directly lead his troops to attack under the banner of King Qin.

City.

"If it is suppressed, the King of Fujian will definitely feel that something is wrong. Then he will simply raise an army and it will be troublesome. Why not refuse directly and let the King of Fujian think that the emperor is just suffering from a minor illness and not dare to act rashly to influence the emperor..." Sun Liang did not finish his words.

, but Chen Shichang naturally heard the unfinished words in it. Emperor Chunde would be alive in a few days, so he first comforted Xiao Chengjun, and when the emperor passed away, everything was a foregone conclusion, and he had nothing to fear.

"You're right." Chen Shichang nodded. He blocked the news in Beijing tightly, but there is no airtight wall in the world. Delaying and refusing to reply would only make Xiao Chengjun suspicious. Instead, he sent someone to inquire about the news.

That's when it becomes troublesome.

"I told you to take strong medicine, how did you do it?" Chen Shichang's eldest son grabbed the collar of Tao Miao, the master of Piao Miao, and asked in a low voice.

"That... will definitely work, it will take a few days..." Tao Miao grimaced. These days, the right prime minister was being forced by the left prime minister. He was about to be punished, so he made a dangerous move and asked him to replace the elixir with elixir.

Poison. As a magic stick who was able to sneak into the Qintian Prison, Tao Mu was not a fool. He knew that if he had taken the powerful medicine that would see the blood of the marquis, he would have followed the emperor and lost his life.

The reply from the imperial court soon arrived in Minzhou. The Prime Minister, who was temporarily in charge of the government affairs, flatly rejected the request of the King of Fujian to come to Beijing to attend to his illness. He said that the emperor was only slightly ill and accused Xiao Chengjun of plotting evil intentions.

"Hmph, he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic." Lou Jing pouted while holding the reply from the right minister.

Xiao Chengjun couldn't deny it. He didn't care at all about the reply from the Right Prime Minister. He was waiting for the exact news from the capital. Now that the reply from the Right Prime Minister has come, there is no new news from the capital. "Zhuo Yu...

"

"Huh?" When Lou Jing heard her husband calling him, he quickly walked over and squeezed into a bench with His Royal Highness the Prince of Fujian.

Xiao Chengjun looked at him and sighed for a while, "That's it, it's okay."

"I have sent people to Jinzhou." Lou Jing understood what he was going to say and kissed his forehead gently. Xiao Chengjun frowned more and more frequently recently. This is not a good thing. He has such a handsome face for a long time.

What a pity there are ravines.

Xiao Chengjun's eyes widened in surprise. He really wanted Lou Jing to control the Jinzhou Army to prevent any changes, but the matter had not yet been decided. He was afraid that the Lou family would be innocently implicated, so he was ready to wait. Unexpectedly, Lou Jing

Already started.

"Grandfather's death is inseparable from Chen Shichang. He can't even think of using any soldiers from Jinzhou." Lou Jing's eyes were full of rage. He had already laid out the plan. Taking advantage of the fourth prince's affairs, he would step by step destroy Lao Anguo's family.

If his death is made public, no one who harmed his grandfather can even think of escaping.

Xiao Chengjun stretched out his hand, hugged the person next to him, and touched his cheek, "The governor of Jinzhou has been executed, and the northwest salt official is also in the prison. Even if Chen Shichang has the ability to release him, I will not

Spare him."

"Leave these people to me, I will chop off their heads with my own hands as a memorial." Lou Jing buried her face in the chest of His Highness the Prince of Fujian, and rubbed it on Na Yue's white prince's uniform, "Chengjun, what do you mean?

Yes, you will marry me as soon as you ascend the throne, right?"

"Who else can you marry if you don't want to marry me?" Xiao Chengjun looked down at him with a smile. Seeing his crooked smile, he couldn't help but move up and kiss his beautiful eyes, "But what about Duke An Guo's title?"

The Lou family has made great achievements in battles for generations, and their favor has never faded. Lou Jing's generation could have continued to be glorious, but the heir of the Lou family married Xiao Chengjun and became the queen, and the Anguo Duke's palace had no successor. With Lou Jianyu's ability

, will decline in a few years.

"The dynasty is still going to perish, let alone a family." Lou Jing didn't care much. If his young and powerful father could give him a younger brother, he would train an heir. If he couldn't, that would be fine.

Let's simply cut off the relationship between the Lou family and avoid letting unworthy descendants inherit and dishonor the reputation of our ancestors.

Xiao Chengjun laughed and said, "You are quite reasonable."

While the two were talking, Lu Zhao hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, a letter from the capital."

Someone came in, but Lou Jing didn't move. She was still lying in Xiao Chengjun's arms, hugging his waist.

6 The guard had long been accustomed to it. He handed the letter over without squinting, and then stood aside, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Xiao Chengjun patted the guy in his arms and asked him to sit down, but Lou Jing just twisted her body, leaned her head on his chest, and stretched her neck to read the letter in his hand.

Too lazy to pay attention to etiquette with him, Xiao Chengjun simply put his chin on the head of the person in his arms, unfolded the letter and read it with him.

The calligraphy on the white paper was elegant and beautiful, and it was pleasing to the eye. It was Xiao Chengjin's handwriting at first glance. However, the two people who read the letter were completely in no mood to appreciate the calligraphy, because there was only one line written on the paper: "The capital is in danger, send troops."

Central Beijing, Panlong Hall.

The palace guards surrounded the palace tightly, and no one except the imperial physician was allowed to enter.

Prince Jing Xiao Chengjin walked into the palace unhurriedly and saw that the third prince Xiao Chengduo had been waiting outside the palace for a long time and was negotiating with Huaizhong.

Why are you stopping me like this?"

"Your Highness, the imperial doctors are conducting diagnosis and treatment. You can't go in at this moment." Huaizhong tried to dissuade him with a bitter face, but his actions were very determined, not allowing Xiao Chengduo to come closer.

Xiao Chengjin glanced at the anxious third prince, evoked a sneer, and quickly restrained it. He stepped forward and asked Huaizhong a few words, then stopped saying anything and stood quietly by the side of the palace door, not saying anything about going in.

Don't say leave.

The third prince, Xiao Chengduo, snorted coldly and said, "Why is the second prince brother here to attend to you? It's freezing cold, but don't hurt yourself."

"I'm sorry, Brother Three Emperors," Xiao Chengjin didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his words, and said smoothly, "This is quite reasonable. Why don't we wait in the side hall and stand here and make people look at us?"

After looking at it, I thought the third emperor's younger brother was waiting for the imperial edict to pass on the throne."

Xiao Chengduo choked and glared at Xiao Chengjin. Unexpectedly, they ignored him and went to the side hall. His brothers had left, and it was not a big deal for him to stand here. He had to follow him to the side hall, following on pins and needles.

Xiao Chengjin drinks tea.

Not long after, a message came from outside that the Queen was here.

The two of them hurried out to greet him. Ji Zuo glanced at the third prince indifferently, and suddenly raised his hand. The hundreds of Yulin troops behind him lined up neatly and surrounded Panlong Palace on three floors and three floors outside.

Xiao Chengduo was shocked, "Father, you are..."

"From now on, no one is allowed to step outside the Panlong Palace, and any offender will be killed without mercy." Empress Ji ordered coldly, and the Yulin Army and the palace guards responded in unison.

Unexpectedly, the Queen's attack would be so fierce. Xiao Chengduo was stunned on the spot, while Xiao Chengjin's face was pale from beginning to end, showing no emotion or anger.

As soon as Empress Ji arrived, she took control of Panlong Palace with thunderous means, drove out a group of imperial doctors who were like headless flies and couldn't come up with a solution, and replaced them with the local doctor who had been treating Xiao Chengjin.

It was the first time that the native doctor came to the palace. He was too scared to say anything. He had just learned that the sick young man he had been treating for a whole year was the prince of the dynasty. Before he could react, he was pulled into the palace to treat the emperor!

"You just need to see the doctor, and no matter what means you use, let the emperor survive for a few more days." Ji Zhuo sat down on the chair beside the bed and looked quietly at Emperor Chun De, who had his eyes closed and his face was ashen.

"Sir, there is no need to be afraid. Just treat it as a normal patient. No one knows that this is what you are seeing. If anything happens, the doctors will be responsible for it." Xiao Chengjin persuaded him warmly.

The local doctor was relieved and took Emperor Chunde's pulse, "This, this is poisoning. Quick, crush the raw mung beans and add boiling water. Let it cool down and drink a few more bowls of it..."

"This..." Huaizhong looked embarrassed. How could such a crude treatment method be used on the emperor?

"Do as he said." Ji Zuo ordered in a cold voice, and everyone did not dare to neglect.

Among the group of imperial doctors, there were members of the Chen family, and Ji Zhu still doesn't know which one it is, so he simply didn't use it, so he used this folk miracle doctor to save the emergency.

After drinking several large bowls of mung bean water, the native doctor took out a dark thing from the medicine box and rubbed it under Emperor Chunde's nose. The unconscious Emperor Chunde suddenly spat it out with a "wow" sound.
