After the morning meeting the next day, Mo Qing took Mo Wen to see the emperor and said he wanted to return to the Taoist temple.
The emperor was stunned, "Why is this, Taoist priest? Is there anyone in the palace who is doing this?"
He has only taken a few pills now. How can he live forever? He still has to keep the two of them by his side!
Mo Qing shook his head, looked at him, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, my junior brother and I are outsiders, so it would be better for us to return to Taoism and practice pure cultivation."
At this time, Mo Wen also looked at him, with an expression that he was hesitant to speak, and then shook his head and said that he wanted to go back to the Taoist temple.
The emperor naturally realized that there was something wrong with the two people's behavior, so he quickly pressed him.
"Your Majesty, the secret must not be leaked." Mo Qing still shook his head.
"I am the Son of Heaven, and the power of kingship is granted by God. I can hear the words of Heaven." The emperor said very domineeringly.
"Your Majesty, you really can't listen to this." Mo Wen came to the aid in time.
Emperor~
A little bit rebellious.
The more Mo Qing and Mo Wen tried to hide it, the more the emperor wanted to listen.
At this time, Mo Wen made another "just right" gaffe and said: "It's about the emperor's life span..."
"Junior brother, stop talking!" Mo Qing scolded sternly.
"Let him say it!"
The emperor quickly looked at Mo Wen and said urgently.
What the hell, why is his life still at stake? Could it be that he has a Taoist priest to help him, but his life is not long yet?
Mo Wen looked at Mo Qing "helplessly", but Mo Qing repeatedly stopped him. The more the two behaved like this, the more the emperor wanted to know. In the end, they actually threatened the lives of many Taoist priests in the Taoist temple.
From this, Mo Wencai "had" to say, "Your Majesty, your luck is about to run out and your life is not long!"
"nonsense!"
The emperor said sternly: "I am now strong and in the prime of life, but my life is not long. Are you cursing me?"
"That's not the case. Your Majesty, please listen to me and explain slowly."
Then Mo Qing started to talk nonsense, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the past dynasties, and said that the prince's luck was connected with the emperor's. If the prince lived, the emperor lived, and if the prince died, the emperor's luck would be damaged, and his life would soon be over.
"The Emperor definitely doesn't believe what we say, but after today, the Emperor's health will definitely get worse, and it won't take more than half a year."
Mo Qing shook his head lightly.
The emperor was furious when he heard this. If he hadn't thought of the unpredictable methods of the two men before, he would have called the guards to pull them down and chop them in half!
Facing the emperor's angry and murderous eyes, Mo Qing and Mo Wen were so frightened that their legs went weak, the hair on their bodies stood up, and goosebumps appeared one after another. However, no matter how scared they were, they had to pretend to be calm.
Otherwise, if the emperor sees the flaw, they will definitely die.
After a while, the emperor called the imperial physician to check his pulse. The imperial physician said that he was only slightly weak and had no problem.
The emperor thought for a moment and decided to let Mo Qing and Mo Wen go back to the outer palace to live. He decided to wait a few days before talking.
At this time, it was time for Shadow to take action. He secretly gave the emperor a colorless and odorless poison that could make people weaker day by day without anyone noticing. This poison... was also made by Qiao Jinhuan.
This matter had to be let the wind blow for a while. That night, Qiao Jinhuan came to the other courtyard.
In the courtyard, the lights were brightly lit, and Gu Changsheng, who was still a little weak, was sitting face to face with Prince Zhenan in the study, talking. Most of the people in the courtyard were shadow guards, and there was also a small group of private soldiers trained by Prince Zhenan.
"I've met Lord Yueyou."
As soon as Qiao Jinhuan showed up, the shadow guards popped up.
She said softly, "Hmm," "Where is Your Highness?"
"His Royal Highness is meeting with His Excellency, Prince Zhenan, in the study."
Qiao Jinhuan nodded and walked to the study. When he reached the door, he didn't go in. He just stood outside and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside.
Gu Changsheng's voice was as gentle as ever, but a little more decisive than before, "Uncle, you are inciting the Tian family to fight against each other! What's more, you support King Xuan now, and I don't work in the court. How can my father tolerate you?"
"No matter how you say it, he is the king and you are the minister. When the time comes, he will be cruel and lay some baseless charges on you to kill you. What can you do?"
Prince Zhen'an waved his hand, "As long as the prince is standing next to me, your father will not dare to touch me."
His own rebellion was indeed unknown, but as long as the prince was on his side, he could rebel under the slogan of siding with the Qing monarch and establishing a new monarch. What could the emperor do to him?
He already disliked that old guy.
"If you hadn't been willing to rebel for so long, why should I do this?" Prince Zhen'an said with hatred for iron, "Now you can see clearly that your father is a rotten person. He is stupid, cruel and merciless."
Gu Changsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Uncle, what should I do now?"
"you?"
Prince Zhen'an looked him over and said, "You don't have to do anything now. Just stay here peacefully. We will take care of the rest."
Gu Changsheng frowned slightly and then said: "Two things. First, my father cannot die."
Before he finished speaking, Prince Zhenan's expression turned ugly.
Gu Changsheng had no choice but to explain to him: "It's not that I'm merciful to my father, but that he really can't die. Otherwise, you, my mother, and I will be notorious forever. Also, if my father dies, my succession to the throne will not go smoothly.
Therefore, it is necessary to spare his life."
Prince Zhen'an thought about this and could only nod reluctantly, "Okay."
"Second, Zhang Zehuai, Su Ming'an, Ruan Xiaoyu from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Qi Lin from the Ministry of Justice, Cui She, Fu Dong from the Ministry of Hubu, Song Zhirong, Li Zhao... These people are all talented people and capable of running the country. You should try your best to protect them."
"good!"
"Besides...who!"
Gu Changsheng suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the window out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously yelled.
who?
Prince Zhen'an frowned and said, "They should be the guards. I'll go out and have a look."
He stood up and opened the door and walked out. Not far away, he saw a familiar figure, "It's you, Qiao Jinhuan, right? Why don't you go in?"
Qiao Jinhuan half-leaned against the wall, her tone was particularly subtle, "I accidentally alerted His Highness. I... It's not convenient for me to see Your Highness now. I'll talk about it later."
"Is there something unspeakable? Are you worried that the prince will blame you for poisoning him? No, prince..."
"Yes and no."
Qiao Jinhuan interrupted him and shook his head slightly, "Please help His Highness with the affairs of the court."
"Easy to say."
"Lord Yue You, golden sore medicine."
The shadow guard suddenly handed a bottle of medicine to Qiao Jinhuan, his face expressionless, but he kept muttering in his heart.
Lord Yue You was injured and refused to go to the Star Department for treatment. Why did he ask for the golden sore medicine? And he also demanded that it must be delivered in front of Prince Zhenan?
"Are you injured?" Prince Zhenan asked in surprise.
"Do you think I don't have to pay for rescuing the prince and arranging the shadow guards?" Qiao Jinhuan took the medicine and turned away, "I just came to see His Highness, so I'll leave first."
joke!
This injury cannot be in vain. If we don't meet in person, we must also arrange a painful plan!
