Chapter 138 The Prince
.

The two stood quietly for a while, Jiang Zuilan thought for a while, and said, "The struggle for imperial power is always cruel, so be careful."

Li Chu was taken aback when he heard this, and then continued to walk forward, saying as he walked, "I know."

He smiled and said: "When I was in Lijia Village, although I lived a solid life, I lost some direction. But now..." As he spoke, the look in his eyes darkened, and he found his direction.

Looking at the firm light in his clear eyes, Jiang Zuilan felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

He couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, he could only see the slender eyelashes flickering, and every movement seemed to flap her wings and fly away.

Li Chu looked at her like this, speechless.

Jiang Zuilan didn't speak either, the two of them went back and forth without speaking, without any movement, the time passed bit by bit, but it wasn't boring at all, and even felt at ease.

Li Chu looked at her back, as if he could feel her body temperature and warmth just by looking at her.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zuilan turned around and looked at Li Chu, with a slightly cold look in her eyes, and said slowly, "I'm going back."

The two chatted while walking, and when Li Chu left, Jiang Zuilan returned to her small courtyard.

On this day, news suddenly spread from the imperial palace that five days later, there will be a banquet in the imperial garden, and courtiers can bring their families there.

Although they didn't say it clearly, all the officials knew that this was to choose a concubine for the crown prince. The crown concubine had been selected for more than a year, but the side concubine Liang Di was vacant.

A group of ministers geared up and began to prepare. If their daughter becomes the prince's side concubine, she will be a noble concubine in the future.

The emperor has ordered that as long as the unmarried family members can come.

The prince accepts the concubine, the power in the court has changed a lot.

The Crown Princess was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with the Prime Minister as his escort, and the Shangshu Mansion and the Tai Tuo as the backing, it goes without saying that their daughter could be selected.

How many ministers should send their daughters to the East Palace in the future?

The crown prince's choice of concubine is really a big help. In this way, most officials in the court will stand by him, even if they don't sell his face, they will also look at the face of the forces behind him.

The next day, the daughters of each mansion received the crown princess's flower album and asked each daughter to go to the mansion to enjoy the flowers. It is said that everyone who appreciates flowers knows in their hearts that this is to understand their character in advance.

For this reason, Jiang Shiyan even ran over to show off to Jiang Zuilan, "A concubine is a concubine, never want to attend this kind of banquet!"

Jiang Zuilan didn't respond to this, the banquet was the most troublesome thing, and she didn't really want to attend it.

"Brother Prince!" Yun Wanxi lifted her skirt, and walked quickly to Yun Fengjue's side.

"Xi'er is here, why haven't you seen King Yu recently?"

"I haven't seen Seventh Brother recently, maybe I'm busy, where are the ladies?" Yun Wanxi elongated her tone and smiled meaningfully.

Yun Fengjue's eyes darkened for a moment, and he smiled, "Your sister-in-law is accompanying those ladies.

Yunfengjue took Yun Wanxi to the garden, and when Yunfengjue arrived, everyone had already arrived.

After all the girls finished their salutes, Cheng Shuangwu walked over with a smile, "What are His Royal Highness and the Eighth Princess talking about?"

"It's nothing, just chat casually." Yun Wanxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Cheng Shuangwu with a smile.

Seeing Cheng Shuangwu's invitation to pet, Jiang Shiyan was very upset.

Then he said, "His Royal Highness."

Yun Fengjue looked at Jiang Shiyan with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince forgot, when I was in the hunting ground last time, a deer almost hit me, and it was Your Highness the Crown Prince who saved me." Jiang Shiyan was tender and tender, her face blushing.

Yun Fengjue's eyes dimmed. After the assassination in the hunting ground, he was very sensitive to these matters. Although he used this to eradicate many of Yu Wang's henchmen, he was almost killed in the hunting ground in this incident.

"En." Yun Fengjue nodded, his expression unchanged.

Jiang Shiyan giggled in her heart, seeing that the prince had no expression, she was a little worried that the prince would not have a good impression of her.

"Sister Crown Princess." Jiang Shiyan smiled flatteringly, Qin Shu nodded, and really didn't want to have too much entanglement with her, because she didn't have a good impression of Jiang Shiyan. Jiang Shiyan had a bad impression, and she also didn't like Cheng Shuangwu, a woman who flattered the prince.

No one wants her husband to marry other women, but she has no other choice, these people are the daughters of important ministers, they will definitely help Yunfeng a lot.

And she also knew that most of these people would move into the Prince's Mansion soon, she couldn't stop it, and she couldn't stop it either.

Cheng Shuangwu gave Jiang Shiyan a cold look, Jiang Shiyan trembled, this Cheng Shuangwu!If she had this ability, she would make Cheng Shuangwu disappear in front of her eyes!
"Cheng Shuangwu, why are you staring?" Jiang Shiyan was annoyed when she saw Cheng Shuangwu fawning over the prince just now, and asked directly in a bad tone.

"Jiang Shiyan, His Royal Highness is here, why are you losing your temper?" Cheng Shuangwu sneered, can't hold back so soon?

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, Shiyan was rude." Jiang Shiyan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood.

Yun Fengjue smiled, "It's okay, girls always have a little temper, so it's better to restrain yourself in the future."

When Jiang Shiyan heard this, she thought of another meaning, and she was overjoyed, her cheeks flushed bright red, "Yes, Shiyan will change."

"Let's pass on the meal." Yun Fengjue's polite attitude, coupled with his outstanding appearance, instantly captured the hearts of the women present.

In order to win the prince's favor, these ladies tried their best to maintain their best side in front of Yun Fengjue.

Even though Cheng Shuangwu was very likely to become the prince's side concubine, the other five women were not discouraged at all. To be invited into the prince's mansion meant that Yunfeng never treated them differently.

So what if Yunfeng absolutely loves Cheng Shuangwu?Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only able to accept one side concubine?

Even if she can't be a side concubine, she can be Liang Di or something.

Moreover, Yun Fengjue will ascend the throne sooner or later, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is good to become the prince's woman earlier.

What they have to do now is to divert Yun Fengjue's eyes from Cheng Shuangwu and slowly lead them to themselves.

Yun Wanxi has no interest in their activities of competing for beauty. She came here mainly because of the fun and delicious food.

Yun Wanxi swept away all the food and burped, "Brother Prince, I'm going back first."

Yun Fengjue nodded, "Slow down on the road."

A few days later, the crown prince's concubine selection was going on as scheduled. These days, the noble ladies in the capital were too busy to choose clothes, jewelry, makeup, and strive for beautiful participation. Everyone wanted to be selected as a side concubine in one fell swoop.

At the banquet, all the ladies were beautiful in their own way.

Some have clear eyebrows, some have sweet dimples, and some are naturally soft.

The dresses of these noble ladies are really dazzling. They are fat and thin, each with their own posture, each with bright eyes and white teeth.

After the noble ladies were selected by His Royal Highness, most of them were overjoyed.

The ministers were also very happy to see that their daughter had been selected.

The banquet began, and everyone seemed to be immersed in joy.

After the banquet, Jiang Shiyan was selected as Concubine Liang as promised. This was known for a long time. For Cheng Shuangwu who was selected as side concubine, all the noble ladies were envious and jealous.

The next day, the people from the Prince's Mansion took Jiang Shiyan away, and Jiang Zuilan was in the small courtyard, only the sound of knocking could be heard.

But she is not interested in these things, Jiang Shiyan is married, and she has one less trouble.

Jiang Shiyan didn't go to Jiang Zuilan's homecoming banquet, and she didn't want to participate. To her, they were just strangers who didn't have a good relationship.

Jiang Zuilan's courtyard is remote and silent, and the joy of the Shangshu Mansion has nothing to do with her.

Wearing a luxurious dress, Jiang Shiyan knocked on the door gracefully, Qiu Yu opened the door, Jiang Shiyan walked in and smiled proudly at Jiang Zuilan, "I didn't see Fifth Sister during the dinner, Second Sister came to see you."

Jiang Zuilan just glanced at her, and from the complacency in her eyes, she could see her purpose, which was just to show off.

But Jiang Shiyan couldn't bear her ignoring her like this, so she deliberately walked in front of her, "Why doesn't Fifth Sister speak, I have become the prince Liangdi, and I will become a noble concubine in the future, aren't you happy for me?"

"Let's wait until the second sister can become a noble concubine." Jiang Zuilan said casually without even bothering to look at her.

"Hmph, I knew you were jealous of me! I think you, the one who Kefu can't marry, will die in this broken yard and no one will care about you in the future!" Jiang Shiyan seemed to have regained some vanity for herself, standing upright Head proudly left.

Royal Palace.

"emperor!"

"Father!"

Nervous exclamations sounded one after another in the imperial study room, and everyone was in a mess. A father-in-law and a young eunuch rushed to help the unconscious emperor, helping his limp body to sit down.
The prince's face was completely pale, and his heart was even more uneasy. He hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Go and call the imperial doctor!"

A young eunuch hurried away, Prince Yun Fengjue clenched his fists tightly.

The air in the imperial study was heavy, and after a while, all the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital came to hear the news, and the head of the hospital immediately checked the emperor's pulse. After a while, his face was serious, and he said that the emperor had a stroke, and the emperor had a stroke a few years ago However, this time it was a relapse of an old disease.
After the head of the hospital administered the needle to the emperor, the sage sent the emperor back to the palace, and Yun Fengjue naturally went with him.
The news of the emperor's stroke spread to every corner of the palace as if he had grown wings.

Even the young prince, several princesses, concubines, and some clan ministers came here after hearing the news.

All of a sudden, the emperor's bedroom was in chaos, and many people were buzzing like headless chickens
Until the empress came out of the emperor's bedroom and said loudly to the chaotic crowd outside: "The emperor urgently needs to rest now, everyone should go back first."

After the others looked at each other in blank dismay, they bowed to the Queen, ready to step back.
At this moment, a young male voice questioned: "Mother, dare to ask why the father suddenly suffered a stroke? It is clear that the father was fine and refreshed in the morning. Why is it like this all of a sudden?"

Everyone couldn't help but followed the sound, and saw Yu Wang Yun Shaoqian walked up to the empress and looked directly at the empress. Yun Shaoqian was followed by several clans, which looked menacing.

The queen's complexion changed slightly, and she was a little flustered. Of course, she knew that the emperor fainted in the imperial study, and the prince was beside the emperor at that time.

The queen frowned, calmed down quickly, and said in a loud voice, "King Yu! Your father, the emperor, is sick, and you are still making a scene here. You are really unfilial!" She raised her hand and said angrily, "Come on! People, why don't you throw King Yu out of the palace!"

However, King Yu did not show any signs of timidity. Instead, he took a step closer and said, "Queen Mother, the sons and servants are only concerned about why the Emperor Father suddenly fell ill! The Queen Mother doesn't need to be like this!"

"Yu Wang is right, the empress is too harsh." Yun Shaogan walked out of a middle-aged fat man, who belonged to Yu Wang's faction, and he echoed loudly.

A gleam flashed in Yun Shaoqian's eyes, he looked at the little eunuchs beside him, and asked forcefully, "How do you slaves serve the emperor father? Well, why did the emperor have a stroke?!"

Yun Shaoqian's voice was so aggressive that several young eunuchs trembled in fright, and they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Seventh Emperor Brother." The prince's voice came from behind the queen. He came out of the emperor's bedroom and looked at Yun Shaoqian with a pale face.

"Jue'er." The queen hastily interrupted Yun Fengjue's words.

Yun Shaoqian didn't force Yun Fengjue to ask, but directly said to a young eunuch, "Xiao Lizi, tell me, what's going on?"

The reason why Yun Shaogan asked Xiao Lizi was because Xiao Lizi belonged to him.

The little eunuch named Xiao Lizi moved his lips, and finally muttered: "It was His Royal Highness who spoke to the emperor...the emperor passed out."

Although the little eunuch didn't say clearly that the prince was mad at the emperor, the meaning behind his words was obvious.

There was silence all around for an instant, and everyone looked at Yun Fengjue in disbelief.

Yun Shaogan frowned and looked at Yun Fengjue and asked indignantly, "Prince, is this really the case?"

At this time, a Cheng Taifu came over and smoothed things over: "Prince and lord, now is not the time to blame each other, the most urgent thing is to cure Your Majesty's dragon body first."

Jiang Biaohong also echoed and said: "What the Taifu said is that the emperor is seriously ill, but this state affairs cannot be delayed. It is better for the prince to supervise the country."

The other ministers all had their daughters who had just married into the East Palace, and quickly echoed, "Of course His Royal Highness will oversee the country."

"His Royal Highness is the son of the eldest son, and also the prince, and his name is right and proper!"

The crown prince interrupted them lightly, "His Royal Highness, the emperor is unfilial if he is angry, how can he supervise the country with a crime! I think that only King Yu is the most suitable candidate."

"This statement is wrong. The crown prince was appointed by the emperor a long time ago. How can we let Yu Wang Yuezu take his place?" the prime minister said.

The prime minister's eyes fell on Yun Fengjue, and he bowed deeply, "The emperor is sick, but the country cannot be left alone for a day, and please ask the prince to preside over the overall situation for the emperor!"

The whole room was silent again, and then most of the officials also bowed and responded in unison.

Except for the eldest son and the ministers of Yun Shaogan's faction, almost everyone else gathered beside Yun Fengjue, bowing their heads to him.

At a glance, only Yun Shaogan and the others stood out from the crowd.

At this moment, the overall situation has been decided.

Obviously, the prince took advantage of the selection of concubines to win over most of the courtiers.

Yun Fengjue remained silent for a long time, and after a while, he sighed helplessly, cupped his hands humbly and said: "For the sake of my father, and for the sake of the common people, this palace will take over the country temporarily on my father's behalf."

After speaking, his tone became more and more decisive, loud and clear!
But Yu Wang, Shizi and others all had gloomy faces, but they were helpless.

Once Yun Fengjue gains power, their life will probably be difficult in the future
What happened this time was so sudden that Yu Wang was not well prepared, so he was at a disadvantage, and could only sit back and watch the situation turn to the direction that was absolutely beneficial to Yunfeng.

After a stick of incense, everyone left the emperor's bedroom one after another.

The queen, the prime minister and the prince went to the queen's Fengwu Palace.

"My lord, I always feel that something is not quite right." Li Chu said with a frown. The emperor's stroke happened so suddenly that they had no time to deal with it, but the prince and the others seemed to be well-informed, and they walked in a logical manner step by step. People have to doubt!
Yun Shaogan didn't know where his mind had drifted.
Li Chu pondered for a moment, and then said: "My lord, could it be that the prince and the others had planned this matter long ago?"

The prince said without even thinking about it: "According to this prince, it must be the crown prince who wants to take advantage of this moment to control the court and plot rebellion!"

Shizi gritted his teeth angrily, his expression agitated.

"Your Highness, at this time, we must calm down and make no mistakes." Li Chu said calmly.
