Hold His Hand

The emperor did not wake up, Xie Chengze and King Rui stayed in the palace, waiting for the emperor to wake up.

These days, Xie Chengze was reminded by Lu Yanzhou every day to pay attention to his body, and he was a little tired at this time, so he asked someone to move a stool over to sit and wait.

When he was young, he seldom got along with his father, and he only met once during the New Year and holidays. After he was in charge of the country, he sent memorials from time to time, so he met his father more often, but every time he was unhappy.

His father has always disliked him.

But this man was his father after all.

Xie Chengze was in a complicated mood at the moment.

Xie Chengze sat motionless in his seat, but Rui Wang was different, he paced back and forth, restless.

If his father dies and Xie Chengze ascends the throne, what will happen to him?

These years, he and his concubine mother have made trouble for Xie Chengze a lot!

Not long after his father ascended the throne, he killed his brother. Would Xie Chengze want to kill him too?

Although the imperial physicians couldn't see what was going on with the emperor, they had been trying to find a way to treat him, and they didn't know if the treatment had worked. The emperor finally woke up at midnight.

It's just that when he woke up, his eyes were crooked and his mouth was slanted, and he couldn't speak clearly.

After he woke up, he quickly realized his situation, and immediately asked the Taoist priest who gave him medicine to be interrogated without hesitation: "I will... torture...them! Don't let go...everyone... ...don't let it go!"

The confidant immediately took orders, and the emperor tossed and asked the imperial physician to cure him.

But he is like this, how can the imperial doctor cure him well?

All the imperial physicians were obsequious, but they couldn't give an accurate word.

The emperor was furious, and everyone could only kneel down.

Xie Chengze was already a little tired to preside over the palace examination today, and his body couldn't hold on after tossing around so late.

But even so, you should still kneel.

No one dared to offend the emperor here.

However, Xie Chengze was already holding on, and the emperor suddenly said: "Prince, you... you are not sincere... kneel outside!"

Xie Chengze was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, father."

Seeing this, King Rui was a little proud, and didn't want the emperor to follow closely: "You...you go too!"

King Rui had no choice but to be driven out of the door.

Xie Chengze felt guilty in his heart, and he knelt inside before, but when he came outside, he stopped holding on. After kneeling for a while, he pretended to pass out and went back to the East Palace.

He's dying, so he might as well do as he pleases.

Lu Yanzhou had been waiting in the East Palace, and when he saw Xie Chengze being carried back, he was startled: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Xie Chengze wanted to get up: "I'm fine."

"Don't move!" Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said, feeling Xie Chengze's pulse.

Xie Chengze is fine, his pulse is very abnormal!

Lu Yanzhou immediately asked people to boil the medicine.

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in surprise. He thought that after such a thing happened, Lu Yanzhou would be more concerned about the situation in the palace, but Lu Yanzhou focused on him as usual, and didn't ask a word about the palace.

"Do you want to sit up?" Lu Yanzhou asked immediately seeing Xie Chengze looking at him.

People with heart problems are sometimes more comfortable sitting than lying down.

Xie Chengze nodded, and Lu Yanzhou immediately helped him up: "Take a break."

Xie Chengze said: "In the palace..."

"Don't worry about things in the palace, your body is the most important." Lu Yanzhou didn't hesitate.

Xie Chengze laughed.

It would be great if Zhou Xueya didn't find out Lu Yanzhou's identity... Maybe he was happy until his death.

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what Xie Chengze was thinking. He waited for Xie Chengze to fall asleep, saw that it was almost dawn, wrote a note with a pen and paper, and left the East Palace.

Xie Chengze made people stare at Lu Yanzhou, but he was not allowed to leave the East Palace, so no one stopped Lu Yanzhou when he left.Not long after, Lu Yanzhou returned to Jingning Temple.

He wanted to come back yesterday to take a look, but it was already night when the emperor's accident happened, and the city gate was closed long ago, so he couldn't get out.

When he came to Jingning Temple, Lu Yanzhou immediately went to look for Lu Rong. He knocked on the door and entered Lu Rong's room. He happened to see Lu Qingshan lying disheveled on the kang, and Lu Rong's child was still gnawing on his stomach. The child has grown a few teeth recently, and it seems that the teeth are itchy, and he has to gnaw twice on everything.

Lu Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother-in-law came out early? Fortunately!"

Hearing Lu Yanzhou's words, Lu Qingshan realized something: "What happened?"

"The emperor fainted. Didn't brother-in-law leave the palace after knowing about it?"

"I don't know about it. I came out of the palace to watch the number one scholar parade through the streets." Lu Qingshan sat up with a dignified expression.

Not long ago, Lu Qingshan came out of the palace to see Lu Rong. At that time, Lu Rong said that Lu Yanzhou should be able to be admitted to the number one scholar, and she was looking forward to it. Lu Qingshan promised Lu Rong that he would come out to meet Lu Rong on the day when the number one scholar paraded through the streets. Rong went to see Lu Yanzhou together.

The two of them didn't go into the same shop yesterday, but went into a shop facing each other, watched Lu Yanzhou's parade across the street together, and then disguised themselves and came to Jingning Temple together.

Lu Qingshan asked for three days off. He planned to hide in Lu Rong's house for a day to develop a relationship with his son, and then he returned to the Taoist temple... In the end, something happened to the emperor? !

"Brother-in-law is lucky." Lu Yanzhou said, if Lu Qingshan was in the palace, he would definitely be arrested, so he could only go to Xie Chengze to find a solution.

"That's right." Lu Qingshan let out a sigh of relief, and asked Lu Yanzhou about the situation in the palace.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I'm afraid the emperor's situation is not optimistic."

Lu Qingshan said: "I'm afraid I added too much ingredients to the pill the day before yesterday... I don't know what will happen to him."

What is the emperor's situation, they are not sure, what needs to be discussed now is what to do next.

Years ago, after Lu Qingshan received Lu Yanzhou's advice, he did not personally contact the emperor, but taught his master those things and pushed his master to the front of the stage.

But because his master was favored, Lu Qingshan knew a lot of things, such as what kind of confidants the emperor has.

Because he knew that the prince and Lu Yanzhou were close, he deliberately paid attention to it and found that the emperor was very wary of the prince.

As for the reason... the prince is too capable.

If the prince hadn't suffered from a heart disease, the emperor might not have been able to bear it long ago!

When Lu Yanzhou heard about this, his expression changed.

He asked Lu Qingshan some things in detail before returning to the East Palace.

When Lu Yanzhou went back, Xie Chengze had already woken up. Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou hurried forward and asked Xie Chengze how he was feeling.

Xie Chengze laughed: "I'm fine."

Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze's pulse and made sure that Xie Chengze was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Your Highness, what happened in the palace?"

Xie Chengze didn't hide anything, and told what happened yesterday.

Knowing the current situation of the emperor, Lu Yanzhou said: "Your Highness, the capital may not be peaceful in the future, do you want to arrange some people by your side?"

Based on Lu Yanzhou's understanding of King Rui, facing the current situation, King Rui will never let it go.

The emperor is not dead now, and he doesn't know whose side he will be on.

Lu Yanzhou knew it, and of course Xie Chengze knew it too: "What do you think I should do?"

"Your Highness, it's best to contact a familiar general, lest someone take advantage of the chaos and do something," Lu Yanzhou said, "In my opinion, King Rui will not be quiet."

Xie Chengze also tried to win over generals, but now he frowned and said, "I don't have any generals I know well."

Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou couldn't help sighing.

King Rui made a lot of tricks. In the past two years, the original owner helped King Rui win over a general.

As the prince, Xie Chengze didn't know how to train more of his team?

His family, Aze, is really too simple!

When he was cultivating Ruthless Dao before, Xie Chengze was always bullied because he didn't care about anything and needed his help to get ahead. Now Xie Chengze's soul fragments are being bullied in every world.

Let's just talk about this world... Xie Chengze was completely unprepared, and in the end he was killed by someone like the original owner.

Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze worriedly, and said, "I do know a few generals, why don't your Highness transfer them to the capital."

The generals Lu Yanzhou knew were naturally his two cousins. By the way, both of his cousins ​​were born in generals, and other members of their family were also in charge of the army.

He can definitely call them to the capital.

Xie Chengze said: "Okay."

Lu Yanzhou was helpless: "Your Highness, don't you even ask, who is the general I am looking for?"

Xie Chengze said, "I believe in you."

Xie Chengze didn't want to make more troubles and suffer the common people, so he followed Lu Yanzhou, and after Lu Yanzhou said the names of his two cousins, he wrote a secret letter in Lu Yanzhou's presence, inviting Lu Yanzhou's two brothers-in-law to come to the capital. Put a seal on it and let people send it out.

In fact, Xie Chengze was also surprised, did Lu Yanzhou trust him so much?It's fine to live in his east palace unprepared, and tell him the hole card in his hand without any scruples.

He said that Lu Yanzhou was a knife in his hand, and Zhou Xueya could believe it because of Lu Yanzhou's performance.

Is Lu Yanzhou being bold with a high level of art, or... is he sure that he loves him deeply?

Lu Yanzhou was neither, he simply trusted Xie Chengze.

He was on guard against King Rui and others, but he never thought about guarding against Xie Chengze, or the people around Xie Chengze.

Now he feels that Xie Chengze is too innocent, and he wants to protect Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze rested at home for a day, and then entered the palace again. In the following days, the court continued to operate as usual, and Lu Yanzhou was also appointed as an editor of the Imperial Academy.

But the Emperor's condition was poor.

The emperor kept all the imperial doctors by his side and forced them to heal himself, but the imperial doctors were helpless in the face of the emperor's condition, and even the emperor's physical condition was getting worse and worse.

Those who are well-informed have basically got the news-this His Majesty may not live until this winter.

At the same time, the interrogation results of those Taoist priests have come out.

None of these Taoist priests were clean, and some of them used to live in the folk by cheating and abducting.

And the Taoist priest that the emperor loves the most recently... the so-called "miracles" he created were all tricks.

These little tricks were taught by the Taoist boy beside him!

As for the emperor becoming ill like this... There is something wrong with the pill that this person made, and the pill that the emperor took before is also problematic!

Such a group of people, to this day, have been offering them as treasures... Tsk tsk!

The ministers just don't like to talk about it, in their hearts...they all think the emperor is a bit stupid!

But no matter how confused the emperor is in this regard, he is still the emperor!

Imam couldn't believe this at first, and firmly believed in the existence of gods. Later, he fainted for a while, and when he woke up, he suddenly realized that he ordered all the Taoist priests to be executed, and wanted to arrest the little Taoist boy who had run away.

That's right, the culprit, Xiao Daotong, ran away before today's accident!

Of course, the Taoist child left some clues.Today sent people to search his residence, judging from some things left in his residence, he is a member of a certain family.

Without any hesitation, Imam immediately arrested the men of that family and brought them back for interrogation. Afterwards, although nothing was found in the interrogation, several people were still beheaded.

This family was the one that bought the Lu family back as servants because of some minor grudges with the Lu family, and humiliated them in every possible way.

Lu Qingshan's only remaining family members died in the humiliation of his family, and he hated this family deeply.

However, the family was arrested and killed, but there was no news of the little boy.

In this regard, no one knows better than Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Qingshan is also a ruthless person, after knowing that he was wanted, he left Jingning Temple, went to a place he had arranged before, and then ruthlessly ruined his appearance.

It's not the kind that simply draws a few scars, it's the kind that smashes his face abruptly!

He has been in the palace for a long time, and many people know him, this face is no longer usable.

After raising it for a few days, Lu Qingshan came to Jingning Temple to beg for food, and after seeing Lu Rong, he called "Ms.

He stayed in Jingning Temple as Lu Rong's husband who went out to do business but disappeared.

He was very close to Lu Rong, no one doubted his identity.

The capital is very chaotic, and many things have been tossed about today, and this makes the officials of the DPRK and China respect Xie Chengze even more.

They have no other ideas, they just want His Royal Highness to ascend the throne quickly!

At this time, two armies traveled thousands of miles to the vicinity of the capital.

These two armies are small in number, but they are all elites in the army. Not only that, they are also fully equipped.

Riding a tall horse, wearing a gold and steel armor, and holding a sword!

Even to eat, they also eat meat!

When they came to the vicinity of the capital, they stopped moving forward, but looked for a place to camp and cook. During the meal, large pieces of pork went into the pot.

The soldiers smelled the smell of meat, and they were all excited: "The days are going so well these days!"

"Where did the two generals get so much money?"

"Give us meat every day! Tsk tsk!"

"The landlord has never had such a life!"

……

While chatting, someone said: "What are the surnames of the wives of the two generals, do you know?"

"My surname is Lu, what's the matter?"

"I heard that the armor we are using now was used by the Lu family army before, and our money is also left by the Lu family..."

So that's what happened?Everyone was shocked: "I heard that the Lu family army was very brave back then. If they had such good food and such weapons, they would be brave!"

"Didn't the Lu family be imprisoned 17 years ago... Then we suddenly returned to Beijing, what are we going to do?"

"Could the two generals have some ideas?"

……

Something happened to the Lu family because of treason, and they suddenly ran back to the capital. Could it be that the two generals wanted to do something?

"Where are you all thinking?" The person who mentioned the Lu family said: "Who is the general, do you still know? He won't push us to our death. This time we went to Beijing, and we spent more than the Lu family. money, and His Royal Highness’s money.”

"His Royal Highness's money?" All the soldiers were a little surprised.

The man said again: "From today onwards, you will not be able to leave the barracks anymore, so I will explain the matter clearly to you... The capital is not peaceful, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let us enter the capital."

It was so!

Lu Yanzhou's two cousins ​​stationed their troops in one place, waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince's orders, and at the same time they were full of expectations for the future.

When they help His Royal Highness complete this errand, should they be promoted?

The Lu family will definitely be rehabilitated!

well!It would be great if the emperor in the palace could die sooner!

Xie Chengze was the first to know about Lu Yanzhou's two cousins-in-law's arrival near the capital. The two of them sent him many letters, and they always expressed their loyalty in the letters.

It's just that he was about to die. Lu Yanzhou knew about it, and they should know it too. If that's the case, how can they show loyalty?Mostly acted.

Xie Chengze didn't take these seriously, but he sent a lot of military supplies to these two people and asked them to train their troops outside the city.

Recently, the way his father looked at him was not quite right, Xie Chengze always felt that the rain was about to come.

But even if the rain is about to come, it doesn't prevent him and Lu Bian from having a nightly spring dinner.

This is the carnival of the dying before death.

Lu Yanzhou: "..." His family, Aze, is really heartless, and he still thinks about this every day at a time like this.

The point is that Xie Chengze's body can't bear it at all, so for him, it has become torture.

Fortunately, the merits are almost enough.

In a few days, he can help Xie Chengze heal his body.

Xie Chengze's illness should not be frightened, so Lu Yanzhou hoped that if King Rui would take action, it would be after he helped Xie Chengze heal his body.

However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. Lu Yanzhou was busy that day, and someone handed him a note—King Rui asked him to meet.

When he came to the place mentioned on the note, Lu Yanzhou saw King Rui.

King Rui's appearance made Lu Yanzhou feel defensive from the bottom of his heart.

It has been more than a month since he became the editor of the Imperial Academy. During this period, he met Rui Wang once. At that time, Rui Wang was not in a good mood and looked anxious. It has been swept away.

"My lord!" Lu Yanzhou looked excited.

When King Rui saw Lu Yanzhou before, he would act for a while to "pacify" Lu Yanzhou, but this time King Rui didn't do anything, but cut to the chase and said, "Jizhi, I have something for you to do!"

"What does your lord want me to do?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

King Rui took out a bag of something weighing about one catty from his arms and gave it to Lu Yanzhou: "This is arsenic, which is highly poisonous. You managed to put it in the prince's meal!"

"I don't have access to His Royal Highness' meals..." Lu Yanzhou worried.

Xie Chengze is very simple, but there are very few people serving in the East Palace, and there are not many people in the courtyard where he lives. King Rui probably doesn't know about his relationship with Xie Chengze.

King Rui said: "If you can't get in touch with his food, you will fall into the well water."

Lu Yanzhou: "..." No wonder such a poison gave him a catty at a time.

King Rui said again: "You go back today, take the poison immediately, and then excuse yourself that you are not feeling well and don't eat anything."

King Rui explained a lot, and Lu Yanzhou complied, and then watched King Rui go away.

King Rui let him poison him so casually, he certainly didn't expect him to succeed, since that was the case, King Rui must have other plans.

And King Rui is so confident... I am afraid that the emperor is behind him.

When Lu Yanzhou guessed something, Xie Chengze already knew what King Rui was going to do.

After today's accident, they had been targeting those Taoist priests at first, but then they started targeting Xie Chengze.

This is not surprising.

The ministers of the DPRK and China all prefer Xie Chengze, this matter has been known for a long time, and recently, these ministers have become more obvious.

Not to mention those ministers... Xie Chengze gave Jinshang medicine before, but Jinshang threw a bowl at him. Seeing that Xie Chengze was injured, the imperial doctors present stepped forward one after another, trying to treat Xie Chengze's wound.

This kind of scene naturally hinders Imakami's eyes.

The most important thing is that today is suspicious of Xie Chengze.He felt that what happened to him this time might have something to do with Xie Chengze - Xie Chengze had placed a lot of people in the palace, but today he finally found some clues.

Suspicion has always been heavy today, if he was able to kill his own brother back then, he can naturally do it to his own son this time.

"Your Highness, someone close to the Emperor came to spread the news that the Emperor gave King Rui a tiger charm..." Zhou Xueya reported to Xie Chengze.

Now that he is on the lingering sick bed, Xie Chengze is becoming more and more distasteful, but he is very close to King Rui who is trembling because he is worried that Xie Chengze will liquidate himself after he ascends the throne.

Rui Wang is also obviously better at controlling, Xie Chengze's words... Xie Chengze is not willing to follow today's meaning when dealing with the memorial!

"He can't sit still." Xie Chengze said.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with it?" Zhou Xueya asked.

Xie Chengze said: "I have already transferred soldiers and horses to Beijing, just let them enter the city."

"Your Highness, it belongs to the Lu family..."

Xie Chengze laughed: "You don't believe me?"

"I dare not." Zhou Xueya said hastily.

Xie Chengze said: "Lu Yanzhou is mine, he listens to me, you just follow my orders!"

Hearing what Xie Chengze said, Zhou Xueya immediately went to work.

As soon as Zhou Xueya left, Lu Yanzhou came back.

When Lu Yanzhou returned to the East Palace, he said to Xie Chengze: "Your Highness, King Rui may attack you."

"Why did you say that?" Xie Chengze asked curiously.

Lu Yanzhou said: "King Rui gave me a pack of poison and asked me to put it in the well water of the East Palace."

Xie Chengze frowned and looked at Lu Yanzhou: "Why did he give you poison?"

Lu Yanzhou had never told Xie Chengze about his relationship with King Rui.

He and Xie Chengze were very affectionate, saying these things are so unsightly!

And...he was also afraid that Xie Chengze would be jealous and make trouble.

In the past few worlds, after he was with Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze was quite jealous...

He had told Xie Chengze about his acquaintance with King Rui early on. If Xie Chengze found out all the things the original owner had done for King Rui...then he wouldn't be able to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

But the situation is urgent right now, in order to win Xie Chengze's trust, he should confess when he should.

Lu Yanzhou said: "Your Highness, in fact, I have known King Rui two years ago. I am from the Lu family, the Lu family that was raped and beheaded by the whole family 17 years ago... I wanted King Rui to help reverse the case for the Lu family. Do something for him."

Xie Chengze was stunned, he didn't expect Lu Yanzhou to confess to him suddenly.

Lu Yanzhou's various behaviors were a bit inconsistent with what he thought. At this time, if Lu Yanzhou confessed to him, wouldn't he be afraid that he would get angry and put Lu Yanzhou in jail?

Of course Lu Yanzhou is not afraid, he trusts Xie Chengze: "That's why King Rui thinks that I belong to him, and after I know His Highness, he always makes me stare at His Highness... Your Highness, it is because of him that I know your identity in advance. It was because I was afraid that he would be entangled that I insisted on following you into the East Palace."

Xie Chengze: "..." This person actually lied to Yuan, and even said it so innocently!

If his father was not still lying on the bed, he would have believed that Lu Yanzhou was really pure and kind.

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what Xie Chengze was thinking. Seeing that Xie Chengze was not very angry when he heard his confession, he seemed to believe it completely, and felt that Xie Chengze was too simple: "Today, King Rui suddenly poisoned me. I suspect he wants to do something. What...Your Highness, you must take precautions early!"
