On the third day of suppressing the rebellion, good news and bad news came from Xiushan.
The good news is that the rebels did not succeed and the emperor is still alive.
The bad news is that the emperor was injured while trying to escape the assassination attempt.
Prince An's Mansion, which was already very prosperous, became even more simmering, with people constantly sending gifts in the name of condolences.
When King An suddenly came to power, many people were waiting to see the joke.
Who among the people in the capital doesn’t know that he is uneducated and incompetent? It’s just that he had a good fortune. The two brothers before him sought their own death, which made him the first heir. With his virtue, there is no telling when the emperor will be unable to bear it.
, kicked him? After all, there are two princes behind him, right? He is a bit young, but he can be cultivated!
Well, Prince An has been around for more than half a year, and the second prince has committed suicide again.
In the absence of the emperor, Prince An supervised the country and easily shattered the second prince's conspiracy to seize the palace. Even the second prime minister Zhang Tan, Prince Fu and others did not intervene.
In addition, the emperor was injured, could Prince An still take the throne?
The emperor is not young at this age. Maybe Prince Ding'an won't even have to be the crown prince and he will become the emperor in one fell swoop.
If you don’t fawn over now, when will you wait?
However, King An, who was so praised, was now complaining endlessly.
After sleeping for less than three hours for three consecutive days, King An finally took the opportunity to return to the palace and warm himself by the fire with Yang Shu in the garden while frantically pouring out bitter water.
"...I had just left the palace, and Prime Minister Zhang came over to ask, Your Majesty will return to the palace tomorrow. Is His Majesty ready? My mother! What should I prepare? I sleep at three o'clock every day and wake up at five o'clock every day, with my eyes open.
If you can't open it, what else should you prepare? Why are you so indifferent?" At this point, he turned around and shouted, "Xiaotong, grill two more pieces of meat!"
"Why!"
Hearing Xiaotong's response, An Wang lay back, touching the warm fur under his body, and squinted his eyes in comfort: "It's better to live here, you can live a life that is called a human being."
Yang Shu bit a piece of candy and said, "Don't be so helpless. Mr. Zhang has high hopes for you, and I hope you will perform better."
King An waved his hands repeatedly: "Thank you, I don't want to go up the wall!"
Yang Shu was amused by him and asked: "Imagine, if the second brother succeeds, you escape from the capital alone without your wife and children. What will happen now?"
King An was stunned for a moment and said: "Second brother has a vengeful character. If he succeeds, my whole family will no longer be able to survive!"
Yang Shu nodded, thinking that he understood the second prince quite well.
"Then I must take revenge! My princess is a bit fierce, not to mention she has children..."
"If you want to take revenge, you have to use the knife. In other words, you have to find a way to recruit enough troops and lead people back to the capital. It will be ten times more tiring than now."
"That's different." Wang An waved his hand, "It's all over the head. If you don't want to do it, you have to do it. Now..."
Yang Shu kicked him: "You are just a lazy donkey. If you hit him, he will move, but if you don't hit him, he won't move. No wonder the second child hates you so much. He has been thinking about it all his life and it has never happened. You picked it up.
It's cheap but I don't appreciate it."
King An did not feel dissatisfied and smiled: "Yes, I am just so unmotivated, what's the matter?"
When the meat was roasted, Xiaotong brought it to him and said, "Your Majesty, Prince An, just say this here. If others hear you later, you will be scolded by His Majesty again."
"Do you think I'm stupid? I won't recognize you outside this door." King An picked up the meat skewers, Hulu ate half of them, and said vaguely, "It's because of your good skills that I don't want to go back..."
"
...
The emperor came back just before the end of the year.
King An came out of the capital to greet him.
It was probably too cold. Only Wan Dabao came out to convey the message, and the Holy Master returned to the palace quietly.
Yang Shu wanted to talk to Concubine Pei, but unfortunately he didn't get the chance. Concubine Pei asked someone to send a message, saying that she was tired and asked him to go back home first.
Yang Shu felt something was wrong, but couldn't ask further questions, so he could only go back and wait for news.
The other ministers also dispersed, and in the end, only Prince An, Prince Fu, and several prime ministers followed him to the emperor's palace.
They waited for a while and were called in.
This time Concubine Pei did not avoid it, but stayed in front of the emperor's bed.
The bed curtains were opened, and King An and others were shocked to see the emperor's appearance.
"Father!"
"His Majesty!"
The emperor's appearance is not only bad, it is simply bad!
His face was stiff and he lay there, trembling slightly.
That fall caused a problem!
Zhang Tan's expression changed drastically and he went to see Lu Qian.
The old prime minister sighed and whispered: "When the thieves came, His Majesty happened to be ill..."
Zhang Tan's heart dropped, and he finally understood why the emperor remained silent from beginning to end.
After a while, he finally found his voice: "Where is the imperial doctor?"
Prime Minister Lu looked at him deeply, turned around and asked, "Eunuch Wan, has the Huang Court been sentenced?"
Magistrate Huang Yuan was already on the way. Not long after, he led two imperial doctors in to diagnose the emperor's pulse.
After he finished the acupuncture, Concubine Pei couldn't wait to ask: "How was it?"
Huang Yuanjian replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, your Majesty has been well taken care of all the way. Just continue to rest."
Zhang Tan listened and was not at all reassured. While he was prescribing the prescription, he went to the cubicle and asked, "Huang Yuanjian, how is your Majesty doing? When will he be healed?"
Judge Huang frowned and replied: "Xiang Zhang, I can't answer this question."
Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment and asked: "What does this mean? Can't you cure it?"
Judge Huang Yuan said: "Your Majesty suffered from several illnesses at the same time. The situation is very complicated. We spent a lot of effort to control the illness. If we take care of it slowly, we may be able to recover."
"Maybe? That means it's not certain? Tell the truth, how long will it take for the Lord to recover? To what extent can he recover?"
Magistrate Huang shook his head: "I can't say for sure, I'll have to wait and see. If I recover... I should be able to speak in a few days, but I'll probably need someone to support me when I walk."
Zhang Tan's heart felt cold.
Magistrate Huang put it mildly, but he was actually half a useless person. He could no longer manage politics, and even going to court was a problem.
King An hasn't taught him yet, is it possible that the Holy One is going to...
When he returned to the palace, Lu Xiangzheng was talking to the imperial concubine and asked the emperor about his daily life.
Seeing him coming back, he said: "Xiang Zhang, the matter has come to this, we can only think about the good. After some time, we will wait until the Holy One is better."
What could Zhang Tan say? He could only nod in agreement.
The political affairs hall was busy with affairs, and several prime ministers quickly went back to handle government affairs.
Wan Dabao asked the imperial concubine: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way, why don't you go back and rest first? There are slaves here, and they will definitely take good care of Your Majesty."
Concubine Pei shook her head: "It's already this time. I don't have the intention to go back. Ask them to bring some clothes. I will stay here until Your Majesty gets better."
"this..."
Concubine Pei was unmoved: "Go ahead."
Wan Dabao could only agree.
The emperor, who was lying on the bed, saw this scene and his dull eyes were slightly moved. (To be continued)
