In the Wenhua Palace, the Crown Prince Ji Wenquan was slowly pacing in the study room of Dongcijian, and he started to look at the countless ancient books and curios displayed on the lattice made of golden nanmu.

This is the study of his elder brother, former Crown Prince Ji Wenbiao.After the elder brother passed away due to illness, his father asked people to seal it up. Occasionally, when he missed Ji Wenbiao, he would let people open the Wenhua Hall and come in to have a look.No one is allowed here except the Emperor himself.

When the former crown prince Ji Wenbiao was still alive, Ji Wenquan and several other princes often came here to visit his eldest brother.Seeing the luxurious decoration here, the big emperor brother, those ancient books and curios are second only to the emperor, which made Ji Wenquan envious, or jealous.

Once I came to the crown prince's place, but the crown prince went out and did not return. Ji Wenquan was waiting for him in the study.Just like now, I am pacing and looking at the ancient books and curios that are full of walls.He saw a Han Dynasty jade incense burner ornament and liked it very much, so he picked it up and played with it.Because he was too absorbed, the crown prince didn't even know he was back.

Only the crown prince said displeasedly behind him: "This is what my father rewarded me not long ago, you should be careful, if it breaks, my father will definitely be unhappy when he finds out."

The crown prince doesn't like others to touch things in his study. Everyone knows this rule, so it's no wonder he has a bad tone.

Ji Wenquan, who was concentrating on playing with the Han Dynasty jade incense stove ornament, was startled by the words of the crown prince who suddenly appeared behind him, and the Han Dynasty jade ornament in his hand missed. After a crisp sound, the Han Dynasty jade incense stove ornament fell to the ground. On the ground, it was broken into several pieces.

When he understood, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he immediately turned around and kowtowed to the crown prince to admit his mistake, and begged him not to tell his father about it.

The crown prince snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.Not long afterward, the emperor found out about this and called him to scold him.Tell him not to run around here in the future, what kind of behavior is there for him to be careless.

Since then, Ji Wenquan has never set foot in the Cultural Palace, except for going to the Prince of the Cultural Palace with his younger brothers to greet him, celebrate his birthday, etc. on the stipulated days.

This happened more than three years ago, when he was only fourteen or fifteen years old.Originally, he was not liked by the emperor, but after that incident, he even encountered the emperor's indifference, and he was not willing to talk to him when inspecting the studies of the princes.

Ji Wenquan also changed after that incident, became forbearing, he suddenly had a goal in life.Before that, he was really timid and cowardly, not enterprising.After that, he still gave people a sense of timidity and cowardice, but he secretly forged ahead.

There was once a sad tear condensed in the corner of his eye, before it formed, he wiped it clean.

He swore in his heart that he must live a good life, and one day he would repay the humiliation given to him by the elder brother double.

Unexpectedly, before he fulfilled his oath, his elder brother died of illness.When he came to the Cultural Palace again, it was to pay homage to the elder brother who had passed away. Before the spirit of the elder brother, he also cried like other princes.But he was laughing in his heart that Brother Dahuang was a short-lived ghost, and he was destined to change hands of the ancient books and treasures in his study room, and maybe it would fall into his own hands.

He knew very well what the ancestral rules of the Great Xia Dynasty were. Although his father didn't like him and wanted the third emperor's younger brother to be the prince, he felt that he had a chance. The emperor's intention to make the third emperor's younger brother the prince can be proved.

Of course, there are opportunities and fights, he is not a person who waits for a rabbit...

"His Royal Highness, the King of Jin has returned to the palace. Half an hour ago, he went to Qianqing Palace to cry in front of Emperor Daxing's coffin. However, after crying for less than a quarter, he passed out. Later, he was carried back to Qingning by the servants. palace……"

When Ji Wenquan was thinking about something, his servant Jiang Bin walked in quickly and told him.

"...It's about the same time as Ben Gong thought. Go and visit him for me to see if he is alright? If he is fine and wakes up, let him have a good rest and don't come to see Ben Gong in a hurry." Ji Wenquan Command quietly.

"Yes, His Royal Highness, I will go now." Jiang Bin respectfully agreed, and then retreated out of the study.

Ji Wenquan continued to move slowly to look at the ancient books and curios that the former prince liked on the golden nanmu. He walked to a pegasus of the Han Dynasty carved from suet jade, stopped, and stretched out his hand to take the jade pegasus off. , playing with it in his hand for a while, suddenly raised his hand and slammed the jade flying horse to the ground.

After the crisp sound of breaking, the one-foot-tall jade carved Pegasus ornament was smashed into pieces.

A happy smile floated on Ji Wenquan's lips, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes. This mutton fat jade jade carving flying horse ornament is one of the big emperor's favorite antiques. I have seen him wipe it on the desk many times, and hold it in his hand. .It is the same beloved item as the former crown prince Ji Wenbiao with the Han Dynasty jade incense burner ornament that I accidentally smashed.

Then, he successively took down and smashed the antiques that Ji Wenbiao once liked on the lattice made of golden nanmu in the study room, and smashed some of the lonely ancient books collected by Ji Wenbiao.

After wantonly "destroying" the study for a while, Ji Wenquan couldn't stop laughing at the messy things on the floor, and then he called the servant outside the study to come in to clean it up, and then asked someone to take the notes that Li Yizhi, the chief assistant, and officials from the Ministry of Rites waited for today. Take it to see, and see that it says: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, and I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become emperor tomorrow..."

The smile on the lips is even bigger.

When Ji Wenkai woke up, he saw several familiar faces.His mother, Concubine Zhao, his younger sister, the second princess, Jiming, Wei Yu, who is always dreaming of him, and Bai Feng, the servant who has been serving him all along.

See him wake up.All the people around his bed looked happy, and Concubine Zhao held his hand tightly, choked with tears and said, "Wen Kai, you are back..."

With tears in his eyes, Jiming shouted, "Third brother, you..."

She couldn't continue, she didn't know whether she was worried about Brother Sanhuang's health, or about Brother Sanhuang's future.

Wei Yu said kindly: "His Royal Highness, you have to express your condolences. You are too tired from this journey, so let's take a rest first."

Bai Feng said with red eye circles: "My lord, you scared this slave to death."

Ji Wenkai's gaze scanned the faces of everyone on the bed, and called out one by one: "Mother and concubine, younger sister, Eunuch Wei, Baifeng..."

When it was over, he forced himself to laugh and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, I'm fine."

After moving his body, Bai Feng stepped forward to help him up, and stuffed a large apricot yellow pillow behind his waist.He was indeed exhausted from the [-]-mile journey from Xuanfu to the capital, and when he got to the palace, he heard the sad news of his father's death and was deeply shocked.Worshiping the crying spirit in front of the spirit of Emperor Daxing in Qianqing Palace, he was so sad that he fainted from crying.Fortunately, he practiced riding and archery on weekdays and was in good health, so he woke up after the imperial doctor came and gave him a silver needle.In the past, there were also clansmen and concubines who were in front of the spirit and couldn't wake up after crying and fainting.It is said that after the person dies, in the first seven days, there will be ghosts around the deceased to guide him. If there are evil spirits among them, if they happen to meet people with weak yang energy in front of the spirit, they will be possessed by evil spirits, making them lose all vitality. In the end, the innocent died.

Just now in the main hall of Qianqing Palace, seeing Jin Wang Ji Wenkai fainted from crying, even Wei Yu was worried about it.So she ordered people to invite the imperial doctor, and at the same time ordered people to carry Ji Wenkai back to the prince's residence in Qingning Palace, and finally sent people to inform Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao got the letter and hurriedly brought Jiming back from Wan'an Palace.She didn't know her son was back before, and no one went to inform her.She was naturally very excited to see her son who had gone to Xuan Mansion from Li Gong and hadn't come back for several months.But when she heard that Ji Wenkai had fainted before the emperor's coffin, she was frightened and worried again, because she really couldn't bear her son's good or bad any more.

She has already lost the emperor, and if she loses her son again, she will definitely not be able to survive.

Fortunately, after the imperial doctor came to give Ji Wenkai an injection, he woke up.

Seeing that Jin Wang Ji Wenkai was fine, Wei Yu exchanged some pleasantries, then took his leave and left.Everyone knows that she is in charge of the emperor's funeral in the palace now, and she also has to read the records in the ceremonial supervisor's room, and there are errands in Dongchang that require her to attend, so she is the busiest person.It is extremely rare to be able to go to Ji Wenkai to comfort him and say a few words to him.

Although Ji Wenkai wanted Wei Yu to stand in front of him for a while in his heart, he also knew that "he" had a lot of things at hand, and there was no way to stay with him at this moment, so he thanked Wei Yu for helping him find the imperial doctor and wake him up come over.Wei Yu humbly said no thanks, all of this is his responsibility.

Looking at the back of Wei Yu leaving so easily, Ji Wenkai felt very sad in his heart.He used to think that as long as he worked hard and made arrangements for him, he would eventually be able to overcome all opinions and become the crown prince, and finally succeed to the throne as emperor.At that time, he can justifiably ask Wei Yu to accompany the king forever.Appreciate "his" stunning face for a long time, and talk to "his" about topics that both of you are interested in, and you can also drink and drink tea together, and taste all kinds of delicacies from all over the world.

He wants to spoil "him", just like Emperor Wen of Han did to Deng Tong.However, it will not let Wei Yu end badly like Deng Tong.

But all of this came to naught because of the sudden death of the emperor.Smiling bitterly silently, he let his servant Bai Feng and others go down, leaving only his mother concubine Zhao Guifei and imperial sister Jiming in front of him.

"Mother and concubine, what's the matter with father's illness? Why did he get sick so quickly and get so sick?" There was no one in front of him, so he asked Concubine Zhao in a low voice.

"The imperial doctor said that your father's body was originally on fire, and he used Zhang Tianshi's elixir, which burned his body. The illness became acute and severe, and it took only two days from the fall to the collapse..." Concubine Zhao started crying again when she mentioned the emperor's death.

"But it's not the first time Father used Zhang Tianshi's elixir, why can't it work this time?" Ji Wenkai frowned.

Concubine Zhao was startled when she heard the words, she looked outside, then turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Do you suspect that there is something inside your father's death?"

"I do have this suspicion, but it's just a guess. I haven't been in the palace for the past few months..."

"Third brother, you can't shout this out. Also, you can't say this in the future, walls have ears, if people listen to it, you are a serious crime." Jiming leaned over and reminded Ji Wenkai.
