Emperor Dalong had never expected to see Mu Ban in the past few days, but he never dared to relax his vigilance. He didn't become fat overnight, and he didn't believe that someone would change so much all of a sudden. There must be a trick. Therefore, Emperor Dalong did not give a positive response to Mu Ban's unusual behavior. But this incident actually caused fluctuations in Emperor Dalong's heart, and the deepening of his thoughts also made Emperor Dalong's health worse day by day. He also found that choosing a good crown prince for Dalong was urgent. Thanks

"Your Majesty, please put the dragon's body first!"

Eunuch Zong Yu was a man who had loyalty to the emperor engraved in his bones. In addition, Emperor Dalong really treated him well, so he was very worried when he saw that Emperor Dalong was getting thinner and thinner. The lunch he personally delivered today was not eaten. The chief eunuch was really worried that Emperor Dayang would fall ill because of it. Emperor Long slowly raised his eyes and looked back at the memorials on the table. In fact, he didn't read anything on the memorials. Perhaps because he always sees most of the advantages in the children he likes, Emperor Dalong never worried about Dalong's future in the past.

It was only recently that Shoucai realized that this was a big problem. "Your Majesty, please eat something.

Emperor Dalong watched the chief eunuch go in and out of the inner court of Jianzhang Palace, and then brought in a plate of steaming hot food and sent it to Emperor Dalong, but the latter just glanced at it lightly and had no intention of picking up his chopsticks. The jade beef soup was very fragrant and was Emperor Dayin's favorite. At this time, it was also intertwined with red and green, which made people salivate at the sight.

It’s just that Emperor Dalong has no appetite at all now. Even if the delicacies from land and sea are placed in front of him, he has no interest at all.

"Your Majesty, please eat a little..."

After Emperor Dalong pushed away the food in front of him, the chief eunuch didn't know what to do. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging Emperor Dalong to eat something.

When Emperor Dalong heard the noise, he slowly raised his head and was stunned at first. To be honest, this action was a bit over the line, but Emperor Dalong did not intend to scold this confidant who was only thinking about himself.

"What do you think about the selection of the crown prince?"

Upon hearing this, the chief eunuch shuddered all over, did not move, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Your Majesty's family affairs, your servant... your servant dare not speak nonsense..."

Emperor Dalong frowned.

"There are no family affairs in the palace. The family affairs of the royal family are state affairs."

The chief eunuch was naturally the best at observing people's expressions and could naturally hear the Emperor Dalong's impatience at this moment, so he quickly looked up and responded.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know how to respond to your question..."

He was just a small eunuch. Even if Emperor Dalong gave him this power, he was just a slave. How could he openly participate in such things? It would only bring him fatal disaster, which would not be worth the loss.

He was still able to do it safely, but he certainly said every word that needed to be said.

And when Dalongdi

"But... I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wandering in front of the alchemy room several times not long ago. Yesterday, I wanted to take a closer look at what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was up to, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed in the alchemy room for most of the day, as if he wanted to find Taoist Qingxu for something."

Emperor Dalong was just about to say that Taoist Qingxu was Mu Bo's master, and there was nothing strange about it, but after thinking about it carefully.

Emperor Dalong is now very clear about what kind of person Mu Bai is. It is almost impossible for him to actively seek knowledge. Even if the sun rises in the west, if Mu Bai really wants to study, how could he go to the place where Taoist Qingxu makes elixirs?

If he remembered correctly, Taoist Qingxu had told him at the beginning when he was refining the longevity pills for him that in order to ensure that the production process of the longevity pills was not affected by the outside world, the alchemy room would not allow anyone to enter without his discussion with Qingxu.

This scope of "anyone" naturally includes Crown Prince Mu Bai.

But the chief eunuch said that Mu Bai had gone to the alchemy room for several days in a row, and Qingxu had never mentioned this to him, which made Emperor Dalong feel a little suspicious.

"okay, I get it."

Emperor Dalong thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out the reason, and then he spoke in a cold voice.

After hearing this, the eunuch in charge also trembled with fear, but still plucked up the courage to ask.

"Your Majesty, this Emerald Beef Soup that you love..."

Emperor Dalong glanced at the steaming beef soup on the table again, and after some hesitation, he decided to drink some. He couldn't really ruin his body before the big thing was resolved.

"I'll drink it later."

The eunuch in charge could not hide the joy on his face, and he immediately wanted to stand up and take the bowl away to give Emperor Dalong a new one, but Emperor Dalong stopped him when he saw this.

"No need to compare, just leave it there, we'll drink it soon."

After all, he agreed to eat. The delighted steward Dajian had nothing else to say. He immediately responded.

Then he stepped aside and waited quietly.

Emperor Dalong originally planned to let the chief eunuch leave first, so that he could take this opportunity to relax and calm down, and think about what kind of private connection there was between Mu Bo and Qingxu. However, he suddenly realized that this matter was not something that could be viewed in isolation, and it must be inextricably linked to many other things.

And right now there is only one person he can think of who he can discuss this matter with confidence.

"Go and summon Yang Dailang to the palace, and tell him that I have a mission to discuss with him face to face."

Emperor Dalong slowly spoke to the chief eunuch beside him.

"Yes."

As for the summons from Emperor Dalong, the chief eunuch always delivered it personally and did not dare to make any negligence or mistakes, so it went directly to Yang Dailang's residence without going through anyone else.

"I hereby order you to come to the palace as soon as possible. We have important matters to discuss. Please do not delay."

Oral orders are indeed not as troublesome as handwritten orders that require submission at various levels.

After hearing this, Yang Dailang immediately went back into the palace.

In fact, all this was within Minister Yang's expectations. Emperor Dalong wanted to summon him personally, so Minister Yang said that Emperor Dalong had completely shaken the candidate for the position of crown prince, and Mu Gu would most likely be taken seriously.

When Minister Yang walked into the hall, Emperor Dalong had already fallen asleep at the desk, but Minister Yang was not surprised. It was natural for this to happen as he had so many things to worry about and was in poor health.

Minister Yang sighed lightly, lifted his robe, knelt in front of Emperor Dalong's desk and began his long wait.

Emperor Dalong slept soundly from the afternoon to the evening, and Minister Yang was patient enough to wait until Emperor Dalong woke up.
