Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

In order to let Gu Nian digest tonight's events, Xiao Mobai rarely disturbed Gu Nian in her bedroom, but let her sleep alone for the night.

But Gu Nian was used to Xiao Mobai's embrace, and she slept very uneasily at night without him.

At around nine o'clock the next day, Xiao Jue was sitting on the dragon chair with a weak look. After letting the internal officials read out the decree for Xiao Mobai to succeed to the throne, there was a sigh of relief in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Soon, a minister stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. The prince is young now and you are in good health. Why is it that the prince has succeeded to the throne now?"

Xiao Jue lazily raised his eyes and glanced at the minister who was speaking. He knew clearly in his heart that this minister cared about his family and country, and his only shortcoming was that he was too verbose.

Before Xiao Jue could speak, another minister immediately stood up.

"I second the proposal. Now that the prince has contracted the epidemic, how can your majesty allow the prince to succeed to the throne at this time?"

The minister's words were reserved, but no one in the civil or military court could understand the meaning behind his words.

What this means is that now that the prince has contracted a dangerous disease like the epidemic, whether he can fully recover is still a question. How can the throne be passed on to the prince at this time?

Xiao Jue looked at the minister in front of him who was talking eloquently. He was a member of his eighth brother's party. At this moment, he couldn't help but think to himself, how could this member of the party be so anxious and start to object when he didn't have much power in the city?

Xiao Jue did not interrupt him. After he finished speaking, he directly refuted him with his reasons.

"It is precisely because the prince is suffering from the epidemic that there should be a happy event. Recently, for some reason, my health has been getting worse day by day. It is also time for young people to take over."

After Xiao Jue finished speaking, no matter what the minister continued to say, he directly asked the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to prepare for the crown prince's enthronement.

Although the ministers wanted to say something more, Gu Qing did not give them a chance to continue.

"Okay, I have made up my mind on this matter. I am tired, so please step aside."

Following Xiao Jue's departure, the internal officials directly announced their withdrawal from the court.

Before leaving, Xiao Jue deliberately coughed a few times.

The ministers looked at the emperor's condition and fell silent.

After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers couldn't help but started talking, wondering whether His Majesty the Emperor was also infected with the epidemic.

Gu Qing walked alone behind the ministers and gradually stopped.

While no one was paying attention, he turned around and walked in the other direction.

In the imperial study, the emperor was drinking tea leisurely, without the slightest signs of illness in the court.

When Gu Qing was led over by the eunuch from the Imperial Study Room, he saw this scene.

"Here? Come, sit down and drink tea."

Xiao Jue saw Gu Qing and greeted Gu Qing to sit next to him with a radiant face.

Gu Qing was not surprised at all when he saw Xiao Jue like this.

"I knew you were trying to be mysterious. You were fine when you played chess the day before yesterday. How could you be sick just because you said you were sick?"

"Haha, my younger brother has been making little moves lately, I'll give him a chance."

Xiao Jue smiled and told the story about the Eighth Prince's intention to rebel, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"The Eighth Prince is about to take action? How is the Prince's health?"

Xiao Jue took a sip of tea and then raised his eyes to look at Gu Qing.

"You want to ask how Nian Nian is, right? I'm not telling you, but you can't blame Nian Nian's mother's death on Nian Nian, right?"

When Gu Qing heard what Xiao Jue said, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, I don't blame her, it's just that every time I see her, I can think of Qing'er's death, and I'm a little afraid to face her."

Xiao Jue poured a cup of tea for Gu Qing and said slowly:

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Mo'er knows how you treated Nian Nian in the mansion.

Now I want to go out for fun with Xin'er and leave the throne in Mo'er's hands. If you don't treat Niannian well, be careful that he will be rude to you. "

Gu Qing smiled bitterly, looked at Xiao Jue, and asked tentatively: "Did His Royal Highness send someone to put out the fire in my mansion?"

Xiao Jue glanced at Gu Qing lightly, and did not deny it, but directly admitted the matter openly.

"Yes, it was Mo'er who did it."

Xiao Jue nodded as expected and said: "I wonder how could there be such a coincidence. When Nian Nian left the mansion, my mansion was on fire. I guessed that His Highness the Crown Prince did this."

"Since you know, you should be nicer to Niannian. After all, she will also be the queen of the dynasty and the mother of a country."

Xiao Jue spoke implicitly, to the point, and did not tell Gu Qing that Xiao Mobai dotes on Gu Nian very much.

If Mo'er does anything to Gu Qing in the future because of what happened to Nian Nian, it will be his own fault.

Now that he has said this, he can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous person.

"Well, I see."

Gu Qing no longer continued the topic, but changed the subject and asked about the Eighth Prince.

"What's going on with the Eighth Prince? What do you need me to do?"

"Haha~ My brother's methods are still a little more mature, and his methods cannot match his ambition. As for you, a civil servant, what can you do in this situation of seizing the throne?"

When mentioning this moment, Xiao Jue looked confident as he was strategizing, and looked down on Gu Qing in his words.

This made Gu Qing feel confused, but after thinking about it, the emperor's words were not unreasonable. In this situation, as a civil servant, he really couldn't help much.

"Okay, if you see that I'm fine, you can leave. I also want to go back to be with Xin'er."

After the emperor finished saying what he had to say, he began to drive people away.

Gu Qing no longer lingered, simply bowed and left the imperial study.

As soon as Gu Qing left, the queen walked in.

When Xiao Jue saw the Queen coming in, he changed his expression, put down the teacup and went to greet her.

"Xin'er, why are you here? Can't you sleep?"

No wonder Xiao Jue was surprised, at this time in the past, the queen had not gotten up yet.

"I just paid a small sum of money to report that you looked in poor spirits in the court. I was worried that you were sick. So I rushed over to have a look."

Xiao Jue glanced at the little eunuch standing aside. He said, why did Xiao Yinzi sneak out for a while when he was talking to Lu Qing? It turned out that he was going to file a complaint.

"You can't punish him!"

The queen looked at Xiao Jue and glanced at the young eunuch. She was worried that Xiao Jue would punish the young eunuch, so she directly ordered Xiao Jue not to punish him.

Xiao Jue hugged the person into his arms and said softly: "Okay, I won't punish him. Did you make him look at me?"

"Well, don't think I don't know. You often get up after I've gone to bed to comment on the coupons! How can I do it without someone to watch you!"

The queen spoke confidently and did not feel there was anything wrong with sending people to monitor the emperor.
