Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

"..."

The fingertips that were twisting the black pill paused slightly, Concubine Ying turned her head, looked at the sixth prince Ming Ye who was standing panting at the door of the bedroom, and was drenched by the heavy rain, she couldn't help but slightly narrowed her eyes.

"Your Highness Sixth Prince," she asked slowly, "Why are you here?"

"My son... my son went to Yide Palace today to pay my respects, but I didn't see my mother, and was turned away from the gate of the palace instead--and, under my questioning, those palace people still spoke flickering words to you. He kept silent about where he was going, so he thought," Ming Ye hesitated for a moment, looked at the expressionless Concubine Ying, and his voice became softer, "I thought, Empress might be in Tianhong Palace..."

Before the words were finished, Yuxi, who was full of anxiety, also rushed in, and immediately knelt down and said: "The servant girl is incompetent, I didn't stop the Sixth Highness just now, I beg your forgiveness!"

"Get up." Concubine Ying said lightly.

The sixth prince is the marionette she intends to help ascend to the throne, so naturally she is not ignorant of her plan; and based on the strangeness of the palace servants, it is logical to guess that she will come to Tianhong Hall to fight the emperor at this time.

In order to stay in power for a long time, Concubine Ying will definitely not choose a fool like the fourth prince to sit on the throne, but she also does not want...that puppet that she can manipulate at will will be an overly smart and malleable talent.

"Your Highness Sixth, this is not the place for you to come."

"...Yes, my son knows."

Probably seeing Concubine Ying's gloomy eyes, Mingye flinched for a moment - but in the next second, this timidity was severely suppressed by him, he gritted his teeth, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down on the ground, earnestly Said: "But I dare to ask Concubine Ying not to act impulsively, and listen to what I say!"

"..."

Concubine Ying's eyes flicked over Ming Ye's forehead that was dripping with cold sweat, she didn't speak, and remained silent for a long time.

The hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard dropping, and Ming Ye didn't even dare to vent his breath.The rainwater from the tip of his hair kept dripping down and hit the ground, causing a small spot of water to slowly smear on the crimson woven carpet before finally hearing Concubine Ying's faint voice: "Your Highness, it's okay to say it." .”

It seemed that the invisible mountain pressing on his shoulders finally shattered, and his whole body suddenly lightened. Ming Ye breathed a sigh of relief, mustered up the courage to look up at the other party, and controlled his voice at an appropriate volume: "In Erchen's opinion, You absolutely shouldn't be at this moment...to be detrimental to your father's life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Concubine Ying's complexion changed slightly, and her aura around her was more dangerous than before, Ming Ye trembled in fright, he quickly squeezed his palms, and quickly explained his reasons to her.

"The situation in the court is complicated, civil and military officials are not easy to get along with. After all, the empress has no foundation in the court. Even if you have planned with Mr. Xu for many years, it is difficult to make those deep-rooted courtiers obey you... Before you completely cut them off In the case of party members, if the father dies suddenly, and a prince who has no real power in his hands like a son-in-law succeeds, it may arouse their resentment and cause even greater disasters."

After Mingye finished the long speech in one breath, seeing Concubine Ying's expression gradually changed from indifference to contemplation, he was overjoyed, and immediately said while the iron was hot: "If the father is still alive, it will not only be a deterrent to them, And for us, it is also a reassurance that we can act more boldly—"

"At least," he pursed his lips, and said cautiously, "Although this move will delay the enthronement of the minister, but it can supervise the country as soon as possible, accumulate wings, and let you, the empress, take power as soon as possible. .”

A country cannot live without a ruler for a day.

The emperor is now in a coma, and he doesn't know when he will wake up. King Yu and Xiang Lin will do all the government affairs. Even if it can solve the urgent need, it is not a long-term solution after all.

No matter how capable the ministers were, the previous dynasty always needed a backbone to grasp the overall situation - the East Palace had not yet been decided, the crown prince had not yet been established, and now the prince who could take on the important task of supervising the country was full of plans, and there was only one Ming Ye.

Moreover, after the Sixth Prince supervised the country, he could not only hand over the decision-making power to Concubine Ying, but also take the opportunity to help the Xu family develop their power. Fortunately, the new dynasty will continue to grow and become a powerful family like the Lin family in the prime minister's mansion...

This is indeed a proposal that kills multiple birds with one stone.

Concubine Ying had almost no reason to refuse.

So, after pondering for a moment, she put the black porcelain bottle containing the Heart Biting Pill into her palm, looked at Ming Ye whose face was immediately relieved when she saw this action, and nodded slowly, "You are indeed right."

"My son is stupid, and I just want to help my mother achieve her long-cherished wish as soon as possible..."

Ever since Ming Ye guessed Concubine Ying's whereabouts in Yide Palace, her heart that had been hanging high had finally landed safely.

He lowered his eyes, loosened his shoulders indistinctly, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips, and finally felt the exhaustion from all over his body.

Rushing all the way from Yide Palace to Tianhong Palace, the distance is not close, not to mention it was still pouring rain outside, but Mingye didn't dare to delay at all, for fear that if he came later, he would only see his father's lifeless face face.

——He said those words to Concubine Ying, of course, he didn't really want to imprison any country or seize any power, but just temporarily let the other party dispel the idea of ​​killing the king, and try to delay the time as much as possible, waiting for Jiuhuangmei to ask for medicine and return to the palace.

Even though for so many years, the emperor only had a partiality for Ming Tan, he treated the rest of the princes and princesses equally, what's more, he could almost be called indifferent... and Ming Ye was also similar to Ming Zhao and Ming Wei. , is one of those children who have never received the love and care of their father since childhood.

However, the grace of childbearing is greater than the sky, and the thought of being loyal to the emperor and respecting the father has long been fused into the blood; what's more, it was because of the emperor's understanding and compassion that Song Guifei was not sentenced to death because of Concubine Ning, or was killed. Into the court——

After the annual banquet that year, Ming Ye has always kept this matter in mind, and dare not forget it for a moment.

The palace is deep and the sky is invisible, so for Ming Ye, his mother and concubine are the only relatives who depend on him for life.

Compared with Concubine Ning, who was imprisoned in Chongle Palace for the rest of her life, the high-handed punishment of demotion and confinement for half a year is nothing at all, and it can also save the life of Concubine Song Gui from concubine Ning. Or Concubine Wan's revenge.

And since then, although Ming Ye was adopted by Noble Jing in name, the Emperor knew well about the fact that he had promised to live with Song all the time—however, he never intervened, and just turned a blind eye. Letting Ming Ye go with one eye, wouldn't this make the latter feel even more grateful?

Therefore, driven by this kind of emotion, he braved the rain to come to Tianhong Hall today, trying his best to stop Concubine Ying, so that she could not let her take the life of the royal father in vain!

Now it appears that this goal has been achieved.

Ming Ye loosened his tightly clenched fists.

His palm had long been scratched by nails, and there were faint spots of blood, but he didn't feel any pain at all, instead he was filled with joy and relief.

Since the father is not in danger for the time being, then find a way to write to Qingzhou, get in touch with Jiuhuangmei as soon as possible, and let her hurry back...

While Mingye's thoughts were spinning, he raised his head with no change in expression, and when he was about to invite Concubine Ying back to the palace, he suddenly met the concubine's deep eyes.

"...Concubine Ying?"

Ming Ye's back was stiff, and an ominous premonition rushed to his heart, but he still tried his best to control his tone and keep a steady tone, "Do you want to get out of the car now and go back to Yide Palace with your son?"

His attitude and reaction were obviously normal, but Concubine Ying didn't answer immediately, she just looked at Ming Ye quietly, her face full of indifference, and said after a long time: "Sixth Highness, I have a question , it seems that I have never had time to ask you."

"...My lady, please tell me."

"Are you?" Concubine Ying paused, looked at Ming Ye's respectful face, suddenly chuckled, and asked leisurely, "Are you not interested in this Ninth Five-Year seat at all?"

"—!"

There was a thunderstorm outside the window, Ming Ye trembled almost uncontrollably, he raised his head abruptly, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes for an instant, and was completely captured by Concubine Ying who was always looking at him, and it became even more intense immediately. A smile on the lips.

"I see."

She straightened her sleeves, sat dignifiedly, and said in a dignified voice: "So what if I have no foundation? My Xu family has grown continuously over the years, and it is no longer the humble family of grooms. What's more, there are few people in this dynasty who are truly Those who are innocent, as long as they have enough money in their hands, there is no reason or weakness that cannot be bought, just coerce them to do things, why waste time to hide your strength and bide your time?"

Concubine Ying turned her wrist, revealing the heart-eating pill that had never been placed in the porcelain bottle in her palm, and said calmly: "Although what His Highness Sixth Highness said is true, your ultimate goal is just to delay your life. Palace, give the nine princesses time to react... Oh, naive."

There was a clear smile on her face, but her eyes seemed to be carrying an invisible sharp knife, slowly ripping open Ming Ye's belly, leaving blood dripping inch by inch——

"My grand plan is about to come true, how can it be as you wish?"

Concubine Ying's face turned cold suddenly, and she waved her hand, "Yuxi, quickly order someone to send the sixth prince back to the palace, don't let His Highness catch the cold!"

"Yes, empress." Yuxi Yingnuo, who was silent for a long time, seemed to be a transparent person, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Ming Ye's arm, "Sixth Highness, follow the servant back quickly..."

"Concubine Ying! Don't be confused anymore!"

Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through, Mingye simply stopped hiding, but got up suddenly, avoiding Yuxi's hand, and for the first time bravely and fearlessly met Concubine Ying's cold gaze, "The crime of killing the king, It is still light to kill the nine clans! You are not stopping now, do you want the whole Xu clan to be buried with you for your ambition?!"

However, even though he spoke so harshly, Concubine Ying still only sneered, "If one day, it would be their honor to be buried with this palace's great cause—" Her eyes faltered, Staring at the dazed palace maid behind Ming Ye, she frowned, "Yuxi, what are you still doing in a daze? Do you want me to say it a second time?"

Yuxi sensed the danger in her words, gathered himself together, grabbed Ming Ye, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness Sixth! You don't want to say any more, quickly follow the maidservant and leave!"

Ming Ye frowned and tried to get rid of her, but he was surprised to find that the maid's hand was so strong that he couldn't break free with all his strength, let alone rushed to the dragon bed and snatched the seemingly Just the very ominous pill—

"My lady! Don't!"

Ming Ye turned his head violently, and watched Concubine Ying turn around, holding the emperor's face in one hand, and twisting the pill in the other, as if she was giving the other party a magic pill, and gently pushed it into the back in the mouth of the victim!

"Father!"

Ming Ye cried out mournfully, but was still ruthlessly dragged to the spot by Yuxi, he could only stare at Concubine Ying standing up, and walking towards him slowly, with a smile that made people's backs shudder.

"Your Highness Sixth, let me tell you." She said to Ming Ye, "No one can stop what I promised Chen Bi to do—"

"Oh? Do you really think so?"

Suddenly, a clear voice came, which immediately attracted the eyes of the three people in the hall.

In the next second, Concubine Ying's complexion changed drastically. She stared at the slender figure holding a long sword and walking quickly into the bedroom. She hates and envies her name.

"Princess Nine...Ming Tan!"
