Chapter 367: One more thing is worse than one less thing
"What do you think? Go and help me find King Xian now. I'll go see Zhang Zheng!"
Zhong Shuling said: "Now is the most important moment. Even though not many people are optimistic about the wise king now, it is enough for him to have Tang Chen by his side!"
"Tang Chen is in a cage and can't get out."
Zhongshu Ling sneered: "If he wants to come out, he can come out at any time!"
After speaking, Zhongshu Ling walked to the Queen Mother's room and looked at the Queen Mother. He seemed to feel that the aura around him was a little abnormal, but looking around, there didn't seem to be anything wrong.
Tang Chen stood on the side and looked at the Zhongshu Ling. After Zhongshu Ling left, he took out some medicinal powder from his pocket and sprinkled it to the side. The imperial doctors immediately fainted. Tang Chen looked at the Queen Mother lying on the bed.
, I thought to myself, if it wasn’t the prince who did it, the virtuous king should not have the character to attack the queen mother... Then why would someone come to assassinate the queen mother? This is very abnormal.
Tang Chen looked at the dragon pattern on his arm and asked, "How should I use the healing technique?"
"You have just obtained the dragon mark. You cannot use the healing technique at will yet. You have to study it slowly by yourself. However, this kind of minor injury is very simple. You only need to use your spiritual power to cover his wound."
Tang Chen channeled his spiritual energy into his palms and touched the Queen Mother's chest. Immediately, the wound began to heal and gradually got better. The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and felt a little itchy on her chest.
At this time, Tang Chen removed his barrier. The queen mother felt relieved after seeing Tang Chen and said, "You are here."
Tang Chen nodded and said, "Someone came to assassinate you yesterday. Who do you think did it?"
"I don't know." The Queen Mother sighed with a disappointed expression in her eyes: "It's really a surprise that I didn't die."
"Wouldn't it be nice not to die?"
"What's the point of living in this world?"
Tang Chen rolled his eyes and said: "Yesterday's assassination may have something to do with me. When I came here yesterday, the prince knew that he must have thought that you were already helping the wise king, so he attacked you."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "Tang Chen, don't bother. The prince's power in this palace is definitely not as simple as you see now. It is impossible for a wise king to ascend to the throne."
"Ascension to the throne as a wise king will only benefit you and not bring any harm, why not?"
The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "Tang Chen, do you really think it was the Crown Prince who attacked me?" The Queen Mother looked at the doctor beside her bed and said, "If this is really the case, then you are too naive."
"Who else could it be if he wasn't the prince?"
"It's useless for me to tell you who it is, but smart people should have guessed it."
Tang Chen thought about the matter carefully and said, "You mean him? But it's impossible. He hasn't appeared in the capital these days. I also found a lot of people to keep an eye on him in the capital."
"Just because he's not in the capital doesn't mean he can't do things in the capital. After all, he is a general with a large number of troops. The current situation is that he and General Ma, who is guarding southern Xinjiang, each have half the force. The emperor asked them to restrain each other.
Now that the emperor is like this, and he suddenly disappeared, don’t you think he is already planning something?"
If this is really the case, Tang Chen really didn't expect that Li Yong was a bit too powerful. At this time, the Queen Mother said: "The King Xian is his biological son. At this time, he will definitely take action. The Crown Prince will also definitely take action."
I thought of going to General Ma now, and as expected, the prince's people and Li Yong are already at General Ma's place!"
The Queen Mother rubbed her head and looked at Tang Chen with hazy eyes and said, "Now that I have given you the prophecy book to help you, you won't get anything from me. There is no need for you to save me."
Tang Chen helped the Queen Mother lie down and said, "Please help the wise king for me."
"For the sake of Yan's country, I won't help a person with a foreign surname. At most, I won't tell the prince these things. Just leave!"
Now that the Xian Wang's advantages are basically gone, if Tang Chen really uses force to help the Xian Wang solve some unnecessary troubles, then his reputation in the eyes of the people will definitely plummet. He has to think about himself now
The same assassin who killed the emperor.
"Queen Mother, I don't want to force anyone to do anything difficult. Please carefully imagine what this country would be like if the prince really became the current emperor."
“I won’t be able to see what it will look like after I die.”
"Is bloodline really that important?" Tang Chen asked this question for the second time.
The Queen Mother said: "I have already considered what you said, so don't continue. I am too tired and want to rest. You can go to Zhao Shi to see if he can help you."
"Zhao Shi!" Tang Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard the name. In his eyes, Zhao Shi was an out-and-out corrupt official, and he was already on the prince's side. If he wanted him to help the wise king, it would basically be impossible.
It's impossible, but since the Queen Mother has named this person, maybe this person can really help them in some way.
"In this case, Queen Mother, I won't bother you, but I still hope you can think about this matter carefully. Helping the wise king will definitely make the country better in the future, but helping the prince will definitely cause problems!"
The Queen Mother sighed and said: "Okay, you can go. I'm already like this now. I'm a burden no matter who I am, so just leave me alone!"
Tang Chen used a barrier to walk out, then sighed and prepared to go find Zhao Shi. He really regretted doing this next errand. It was really a bit troublesome. The prince's power was really big now. I'm afraid if he hadn't
The emperor himself said that if he handed over his position to the wise king, the wise king would have no chance at all. He clenched his fists. If there was really no way out by then, he would definitely consider using his own force to solve these problems.
Suddenly some people hurried past Tang Chen. At first, Tang Chen didn't care. They couldn't see him now and he couldn't care what others did. But then more people passed by and Tang Chen had some doubts. Could it be that something happened over there?
What happened?
He saw a few palace maids chatting over there and walked over and heard them say: "Concubine Zhen jumped into the well and died last night! I just found out today. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the palace soon."
"Even if everything goes wrong, it won't mess up our heads. After the prince takes over, we may hang around the prince more and maybe we can choose a concubine or something in the future!"
"Just dream!"
Tang Chen frowned. Now he thought that doing more was better than doing less. He really didn't want to get involved in things here, so he decided to go to Zhao Shi first. There was no one guarding Zhao Shi. He was the same as Zhang Zheng.
It was a very sharp contrast. When he walked in, Zhao Shi was drinking tea. The sudden appearance of Tang Chen startled him: "What do you want to do!"
