I was a gentleman in ancient times

West Qin Palace, at this moment, there was a sense of lifelessness in the bedroom of King Qin.The palace people did not dare to make loud noises, and even moved carefully, for fear of making any noise and disturbing the master, and then the crime of disrespect would fall.

Qin Zhan stood under the eaves of the corridor, watching the dusk gradually sinking, and the faint crows returning to their nests in the distance, he was motionless and didn't know what he was thinking.

The bedroom is brightly lit, and there are many shadows, it is the imperial physician who is busy.On the wide bed, an old man's face was pale, except for the slight ups and downs of his chest, he couldn't tell that he was a living person.This person is none other than the King of Qin who was ill a while ago. At the beginning, he could drink some soup with his eyes open, but he has been unconscious for the past two or three days.

A young imperial doctor came out gently, and seemed surprised when he saw Qin Zhan standing aside, he thought about it before coming over to salute.

Qin Zhan looked away and asked, "How is it?"

He sighed and shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's already night and the air is too cold, you should go back and rest."

When King Qin fell ill, all the princes were busy wooing courtiers and consolidating their power. Only Prince Zhan was waiting here.It has been rumored in the court that Prince Zhan is sincere and pure and filial. Now that I see him, he really does not deceive me.

Qin Zhan sighed quietly, "Father is like this now, and I don't know how long I can be with you. It's too regretful. I'd better stay with you for a while."

The imperial doctor was deeply moved, and bowed deeply to Qin Zhan, "Your Highness's filial piety is commendable, enough to move God."

The corners of Qin Zhan's lips curled up without a trace, and the indifference in his eyes swept away. "Doctor Chen doesn't need to worry about me, just go and do it yourself." He has long been familiar with the several imperial doctors who treated his father.

Doctor Chen was about to leave when there was a loud noise from outside, "Presumptuous, you have the courage to stop Mrs. Ben." His voice was sharp, and he knew who was coming without even looking.

"Madam Wan, we are ordered by the Empress Dowager not to disturb the King."

"Anyone does not include my wife. I am the king's most favored wife. This is the king's favorite prince beside me. Let me tell you, Xu'er is the future king. If you dare to stop our mother and son, when Xu'er becomes king, we will be the king." All of your heads will be chopped off." Mrs. Wan was aggressive, as if she would not give up until she reached her goal.

Three days ago, since His Majesty's condition worsened, Mrs. Zhuan Tai blocked the news, and ordered that no one should disturb him on the grounds that His Majesty was recuperating in peace of mind.Mrs. Wan made a big fuss here today, presumably because she got the news that the king is unconscious. It seems that Mrs. Wan should not be underestimated too much.

Qin Zhan squinted his eyes, showing a dangerous look in his eyes, but he hid it so deeply that most people would never know what he was thinking.

At this time, Qin Zhan still looked innocent and harmless to humans and animals.He pretended to listen carefully for a while, then frowned and said, "It seems to be Mrs. Wan outside?"

Doctor Chen, well, it's better for him to speak less about this kind of matter.However, Qin Zhan did not intend to let him go, and sighed: "Madam Wan is willing to come to visit my father, why don't we let her come in to see him, what does Imperial Physician Chen think would be good?"

Wang Zizhan has said so, what else can he say.Although there is an order from the queen mother, the prince Zhan in front of him is the most valued person by the queen mother, so he should try his best to please him now.

He bit the bullet and went forward to inquire, but taking advantage of this gap, Mrs. Wan's mother and son had already run in.

This usually dignified and decent Mrs. Wan, because she just tore it outside, now her clothes and hair are messed up, how can she still have the swaggering look she usually has?

Qin Zhan looked at him coldly, with a hint of calculation flashing in his eyes, he straightened his robe, and bowed to Madam Wan, "Madam Wan, Zhan is being polite here."

Seeing Qin Zhan here, Mrs. Wan was stunned for a moment, and raised her hand to straighten the messy hair scattered around her temples.Then she held her head high, with a noble and contemptuous look, "So you are here, that old demon... the queen mother said that no one is allowed to visit, so I arranged for someone to be here early, huh! I want to get some benefits, Don’t you take care of yourself? Let me tell you, don’t think about it, the king’s position belongs to my son, so get rid of it as soon as possible!”

Qin Zhan lowered his head, so that no one could see the curvature of his mouth. "Mrs. Wan, my father is sleeping peacefully. The queen mother's arrangement is also in consideration of my father's condition."

Mrs. Wan spat bitterly with a resentful expression, "Why are you thinking about the king's condition, huh! Don't think I don't know what she is thinking." After finishing speaking, she went straight in, "What's the use of telling you these things, Mrs. Then go in and ask the king to make Xu'er the crown prince."

"Madam Wan..." Qin Zhan hesitated to speak.

At this time, Mrs. Wan could no longer listen to anything, she stepped forward and reached out to push Qin Zhan away, and pulled Qin Xu directly into the palace gate.

Qin Zhan took advantage of the situation to get out of the way, as if there was nothing he could do about Mrs. Wan's behavior.

Looking up, Qin Zhan smiled bitterly when he saw Imperial Physician Chen next to him, "Physician Chen, you saw that, I can't stop Mrs. Wan."

Imperial physician Chen had already seen this scene in his eyes, and Qin Zhan hardly dared to confront Mrs. Wan's aggressiveness.

"It's not your Highness's fault, I'll go in and have a look first." He was afraid that Mrs. Wan would bump into the king, so he comforted Qin Zhan a few words, and then followed Mrs. Wan in.

Mrs. Wan stumbled to King Qin's bed, and when she saw King Qin, whose face was as pale as paper, she was heartbroken. Immediately, Lihua cried out with rain, "My lord, what's wrong with you? Wake up, look at your last I like Xu'er, if you leave here, how will our mother and son live!"

The imperial physician, who was busy by the bed, avoided to the side when she saw Mrs. Wan rushing towards her.

Mrs. Wan cried a few words, seeing that the King of Qin remained silent, how could she bear it?He shouted sharply and asked: "The Imperial Physician Order, what happened to the King?"

The Imperial Physician Ling did not dare to hide anything, so he had to bow and answer: "Mrs. Wan, since three days ago, the king was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood, and he has been in a coma."

Mrs. Wan was furious when she heard the words, she only got the news today about such an important matter, that old hag was too deceitful.

Now that the king of Qin is unconscious, it seems that it is impossible for him to order Xu'er to be the crown prince in public. Today, she must get the king's handwriting no matter what, otherwise the princes outside are staring at each other, and the throne will not be her turn at all. son sits.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, took out a piece of cloth from her bosom, and bit her finger.

Seeing his father's appearance like this, Qin Xu felt sad in his heart. Seeing that his mother seemed to be crazy, he rushed to stop him, "Mother, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Wan couldn't care about anything anymore, she pushed him away, her eyes were bloodshot, "Xu'er, mother is all for you, if you don't fight today, you are afraid that you will be gnawed to the ground by your brothers in the future." Leftover! The throne is yours, no one can take it away!".

After speaking, the blood from her fingertips stained the white silk, she tried her best to maintain her composure, and wrote something stroke by stroke.

Qin Xu didn't dare to speak, but wept silently.Mrs. Wan is his only son, so naturally she regards it as a treasure, that's all.Mrs. Wan is also a strong-tempered person, and she hopes that her son will be better than anyone else. She has always hoped that her son will inherit the throne in the future, which gives Mrs. Wan an extra sustenance.Therefore, Qin Xu grew up under Mrs. Wan's oppression and sustenance since he was a child, and became a contradictory body, which also caused his cowardly temperament today.

After Mrs. Wan finished writing, she looked crazy. This blank warrant was given to her by the king, and there was a handprint pressed by the king on it.It is only necessary to find out the seal of the king and seal the seal of the king, and the ministers in the court will not be able to say anything. At that time, his son will become the prince, and then the new king of Qin.

Qin Zhan stood outside the door, as if he didn't care about everything that happened inside, but he could only see that he was pinching the time with his fingers tucked in his sleeves.

Just as she was looking for the seal of King Qin left by King Qin, a summons from the Huangmen came from outside the door: The Queen Mother is here.

It was Empress Dowager Zhuan who rushed over.

Mrs. Wan was taken aback, this old hag came so fast.She was only one step away, and she came at this time, ruining her good deeds.

Qin Zhan followed Empress Dowager Zhuan, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, looking obedient and obedient.

"Bold Mrs. Wan, you took the words of the Ai family as a deaf ear, and broke into the king's bedroom without authorization, what crime should you deserve!" Mrs. Zhuan Tai yelled angrily as soon as she came in.

Mrs. Wan seemed to have gone crazy at this time, and she glared at Mrs. Zhuantai with hatred, "Huh! What is my crime? If I don't break in, I'm afraid I won't even see the king's last face. Don't think Mrs. Tai is in the palace I can cover the sky with one hand, let me tell you, the king has long asked my son to be the prince. As long as my son becomes the king of Qin, I will become the queen mother, and the wife will not be able to control me."

Mrs. Zhuan Tai sneered, "Unfortunately, your son is not yet the crown prince, let alone the king of Qin."

Just one sentence broke Mrs. Wan's dream, but the Qin Xu in their mouths lay on the ground and shivered, trying to huddle his body into a ball so as not to spread their anger to him.

"No! The king himself told me."

"It's a pity that what you say is unfounded. Mrs. Wan's place is not where you should come. If you go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors now, the Ai family can let you go."

"Words are unsubstantiated? Who says unsubstantiated claims?" Mrs. Wan raised the cloth full of words in her hand, "This is the warrant given to me by the king, with the king's handprint on it."

"That's it?" Mrs. Zhuan Tai was really disdainful, "That's all you have?"

She clapped her hands, and the palace servant immediately handed over an exquisite box. She gently opened it and took out a piece of decree, "The successor of the king has already been chosen. This is written by the king before he fell into a coma, and it is stamped." Yinxi, how can it be better than Mrs. Wan's decision-making?"

Mrs. Wan still can't believe it, this is impossible, absolutely impossible.But what Mrs. Zhuantai put in front of her was the truth, it must be false, she never believed that the king would suddenly change his mind.

"Who? Who? How is this possible?"

Mrs. Zhuan Tai smiled slightly, with the attitude of a victor, "It is far away from the horizon, and the prince is loyal, filial, fraternal, benevolent, benevolent, and both Aijia and Your Majesty value it very much. Your Majesty has a plan in mind. , Your Majesty left an order to make Prince Zhan the Crown Prince, who will inherit the throne after a hundred years."

When the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Qin Zhan has been silent for a long time. At this time, he quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, and said in awe and fear: "I also ask the Queen Mother to take back the order. How can Zhan Hede become the prince?"

The Empress Dowager Zhuan looked at him kindly, "Zhan'er, don't underestimate yourself, we all see your sincerity and filial piety, otherwise the king would not have written such an order with his own hands. Since the king wants you to be the prince, you just Just accept it."

Qin Zhan was still at a loss, "But... But Zhan doesn't understand anything, I'm afraid that he will lose the trust of his father, the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Zhuan helped him up, "What are you afraid of? Aijia is still here!"

Qin Zhan lowered his head, and his clenched fists trembled slightly. He tried hard to control himself, "Zhan doesn't understand anything, and he will have to rely on the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager Zhuan was even more satisfied when she heard this, "Good! Good! In the future, the Ai family will definitely help each other with all their strength."

"Hahaha!" Mrs. Wan laughed loudly. "Sure enough, old man, your purpose is obvious, right? To support an obedient puppet and control the government by yourself, this plan must have started long ago, right?"

She could see through it, Mrs. Zhuan Tai intervened in this matter, wasn't it just to interfere in the government affairs?
