Ning Shu, who was still swaying in the rocking chair, suddenly grabbed the handle of the chair, then straightened up, with a serious expression on his face.

The little fish standing next to him looked at his young master like this, and asked with some concern: "Young master, what's wrong with you?"

Ning Shu turned her head to look at the little fish who was looking at her worriedly, and murmured: "What do you mean? Why did the emperor get sick all of a sudden? Is someone trying to kill him?"

Hearing what he said, Xiaoyu's face suddenly changed. He looked around first, and found that there was no one else here except him and his young master, so he looked at his young master with a bitter face. Said: "Young master, you can't just talk nonsense!"

Ning Shu raised her eyes to look at him, her clear eyes revealed a bit of puzzlement, she seemed to not understand that she just asked a small question, why Xiaoyu made it so serious.

Xiaoyu looked at his young master as if he didn't understand anything, patted his thigh, and explained in a low voice: "Young master, you are Princess Jing now, and the emperor is Son of Heaven. You, a concubine, talk about the Son of Heaven so bluntly, isn’t it a clear sign that you don’t respect him! If this matter reaches the ears of the Emperor, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.”

Ning Shu understood the meaning of his words, that is, be careful that the walls have ears, so as not to accidentally eat and hang up.

Ning Shu nodded, and when Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly said, "Then I'll wait for King Jing to come back, then go ask him about the specific situation."

Hearing what his young master said, Xiao Yu almost couldn't catch his breath, and only thought why his young master was so disobedient.But then he felt that King Jing must know more than his son, he should know what to say and what not to say.If my son asked him, he would definitely be advised.

King Jing entered the palace, and under the guidance of the eunuch, he went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the emperor was.

Before King Jing came, the rest of the princes had already arrived.

Seeing King Jing approaching at this time, the princes all looked sideways at him, but no one came to chat with him. On the contrary, the prince saw him and walked up to King Jing first, looked at him and said with a smile: "Prince Jing It came really fast this time."

King Jing raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him who was smiling, not knowing what he was planning, kissed him with thin lips, and said calmly: "The prince is joking. If he came earlier, the prince may be the first to come. I'm afraid As soon as the father's accident happened, the prince rushed over."

Hearing Jing Wang's words that seemed to be full of deep meaning, the prince thought he had noticed something, and couldn't help clenching his fist, but then raised his eyes to look in his direction, seeing that he was calm and breezy again, he felt People probably don't know anything, and what they just said just happened to say something.

Thinking of this, the prince calmed down, and then thought of something, looked at the person in front of him twitching his mouth, and said calmly: "Jing Wang is newly married, but don't forget the agreement with the queen, otherwise the queen will know It must be very sad."

King Jing raised his eyes to look at the prince, and did not say much to him. His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I dare not forget the promise to the queen mother. Tonight, the minister will deliver the agreed things to the prince. Mansion, Brother Huang, don’t forget to accept it.”

Seeing King Jing's understanding of current affairs, the prince's mood improved a bit, and at the same time, he felt that it was really right for the emperor to be seriously ill this time.If it weren't for the emperor's illness, King Jing, who was still somewhat disobedient in the past, would not be so friendly to him now.

However, the prince's good mood could only be changed for a moment, and then he remembered the disrespect that King Jing had shown him when he came just now. He assigned a 'good' place, which was considered as a reward for his good brother.

The prince thought so, squinted his eyes and looked at King Jing next to him with a little complacency, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a firm tone: "You are so sensible, if I am honored in the grand ceremony in the future, I will definitely remember you. Credit."

Jing Wang looked at his arrogance calmly, and replied softly, "Well, then thank you, Brother Huang."

"I announce that all the princes will come to see me!"

When the eunuch's voice came, the people who were still in the hall with different thoughts calmed down their expressions one by one, tidied up their appearance one by one, and walked slowly towards the bedroom.

When they arrived at the emperor's bedroom, they first smelled a smell of gunpowder or sulfur, mixed with a bit of medicine.And the emperor who was seriously ill was lying on the bed at this time, and beside her bed was not the emperor, but another woman who was very beautifully dressed.

King Jing raised his eyes to look at the woman, saw that she was over [-] years old, but she had a face that looked only [-] years old, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, no wonder his father, who was always addicted to wine and sex, was able to dote on her. This woman for so many years.

The woman also saw the princes who came in, she turned her head to look at them slowly, parted her red lips, and said in a warm voice: "The emperor is not feeling well, I hope you princes can keep things short and give the emperor more time to rest."

The other princes didn't say anything, only the crown prince stepped forward and said without giving the woman any face: "Concubine Yao, since you know that your father needs to rest, then why are you dressed so flamboyantly and full of fragrance? Don't you know that Royal Father can't bear this kind of fragrance the most at this time, if you do this, are you disregarding Royal Father's body?"

As the emperor's favorite concubine, even if she is not the prince's biological mother, the prince still respects Concubine Yao on weekdays. He has never contradicted her face to face, let alone scolded her so mercilessly.

For the prince to be able to do this, he must have something to rely on.And the biggest reliance is just seeing that the emperor is seriously ill and he, the crown prince, is about to succeed to the throne.

Everyone present could figure out something, and Concubine Yao Gui above naturally had no reason why she couldn't figure it out.She has been in the harem for many years, and with so many beautiful women entering the palace one after another, she can still firmly grasp the heart of the emperor. Naturally, she cannot be a master who doesn't understand anything and acts impulsively.

Therefore, after hearing the crown prince's accusations against her, Concubine Yao's face only changed for a moment, and then quickly returned to its original state. Then she looked at the angry prince in front of her, lowered her eyebrows, and said softly : "I didn't think carefully, the prince reminded me."

Seeing Concubine Yao, who had been favored in the past and had already threatened her and her mother's status, apologized to herself so easily at this time. The prince's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face was unnaturally distorted for a moment, but soon It returned to normal, and I just felt that the woman in front of me was very knowledgeable about current affairs and knew what to do and what not to do.

King Jing stood by and watched the prince's reaction, and at the moment when he caught the abnormal expression on his face, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

Not far away, the sixth prince standing in the corner glanced at the prince and concubine Yao who were facing each other, and finally fixed his gaze on the quiet but silent King Jing.He remembered the crazy woman's words, 'You will be the emperor, the emperor who defeated the tyrant King Jing and ascended the throne. '

The sixth prince was in a very conflicted mood at this time. He never thought that he could become the emperor. After all, his mother and concubine had neither a prominent family background nor his father's favor. He was even an unnoticed person most of the time. Prince, no one thinks he can become an emperor.

However, when the sixth prince found out that he could be the emperor, and that he might surpass the others to become the emperor, his heart beat uncontrollably.If, if he is destined to become the emperor, then it doesn't matter if he gives it a try.

Thinking in this way, the sixth prince's eyes kept turning on King Jing and the prince, and the little calculations in his heart began to rattle.

After supervising the craftsmen's work, the sky almost darkened.

When it was time for dinner at night, King Jing really did not come back as he said.

Ning Shu poked the fish in the bowl with his chopsticks, his face was a little unhappy. In the past, he and Prince Jing had dinner together.

During the banquet, Ning Shu would tell King Jing about the interesting things that happened one day, and King Jing would also talk about some new things he encountered while doing errands. The two were like an ordinary couple, sharing each other's day. .

In the past, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but since the cold King Jing was not here, and she stopped eating and chatting with him, Ning Shu felt that something was missing, and she didn't even have much appetite for meals.

Xiaoyu looked at his son from the side like this, couldn't help but leaned over, and advised: "My lord, princess, my lord is going to see the emperor, and I will be back in a while. Eat your food first, or you will have to shout again at night." hungry."

When Ning Shu heard Xiao Yu's words, she looked at him like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said, "You, what are you talking about? It's not because of him that I don't eat, I just don't have much appetite right now. "

Xiaoyu looked at his young master's dead duck mouth, and didn't expose him, but just followed his words and coaxed: "Yes, Wangfei, you are right. But I still have to eat this meal, otherwise I will be hungry again later." What should I do? And the cook who cooks today is also new, if the concubine eats less today, when the prince asks, it will be replaced by a new one."

Ning Shu looked down at the fish in the bowl, thought of the taste he ate just now, and felt that what the little fish said made sense, he had to eat something first, as for when King Jing would come back, that was his business, anyway King Jing will be back sooner or later.

Seeing that his little ancestor was willing to eat, Xiaoyu couldn't help but quietly heaved a sigh of relief, otherwise he was afraid that the prince would come back, and it would be difficult for him to explain here.

When Ning Shu finished his meal and finished his food, it was already late, and he could only see a little bit of starlight, but he still couldn't see King Jing, so he was a little strange, looking at the little fish who accompanied him beside him, he was a little puzzled He asked, "Tell me, why hasn't Prince Jing come back for so long?"

Little Yu knew about these things, so he could only shake his head, and said sincerely: "Maybe there is some delay, after all, the emperor's serious illness is a major matter, and it's normal to stay in the palace to watch the night. Princess, it's getting late, Go to bed early, maybe when you wake up, you will be able to see the prince tomorrow."

Ning Shu originally wanted to wait a little longer, but she couldn't resist the drowsiness later, so she went to sleep directly.

It was not until midnight that the carriage stopped in front of Prince Jing's Mansion.

King Jing got off his horse and went straight to Ning Shu's room. After hearing the little girl guarding the door say that Ning Shu had waited for him all night, he went in and took a look at Ning Shu who was sleeping soundly. After frowning, he turned around and went to the study.
