fake prince

Chapter 998 God's Will
Ma Shunde's heart was half cold, he glanced inside with a complicated expression, and said to Xu Yingjie: "This matter is very serious, why don't you come into the palace with our family."

Xu Yingjie was bitter, but this matter was so big, obviously the emperor heard it, and if he had to ask again, he could only nod with a bitter face.

Immediately, he followed Ma Shunde out of Prince Qi's mansion, a young eunuch invited him into the carriage, and Ma Shunde stepped into it, seeing Xu Yingjie hesitated, he said impatiently: "This matter, why are you talking about etiquette, get in the carriage quickly."

Xu Yingjie had no choice but to go inside, there was a lot of space inside, and he sat in front and back, so he had to sit, and the carriage slid out steadily with a light push.

Ma Shunde leaned on the cushion in the carriage without saying a word, just meditating, while Xu Yingjie sat half-bent, not daring to say anything, his heart was tense and his mouth was bitter.

"Xu Yingjie, you are greedy for profit, you want to find opportunities, and you don't want to plunge into this whirlpool."

Then he thought again: "Fortunately, I am not alone, the imperial physicians present all know about this, unless we all are silenced, there is no point in killing me alone."

"But capital crimes may be forgiven, but living crimes, among other things, King Qi is currently injured and ill, and he still can't think of women. If he thinks about it, he will find that it won't work. We people..."

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Suddenly, the carriage shook, and then there was the sound of crackling firecrackers. Ma Shunde suddenly became angry and screamed: "You bastard, how did you drive the car?"

The accompanying young eunuch was sitting next to the coachman, and came over to reply: "Eunuch, it is the generation of the palace that is setting off firecrackers, which startled the horses."

Ma Shunde didn't wait for him to finish, he opened the curtain of the car, and he saw that it was Dai Wang's mansion, and a group of people opened the door with joyful faces, indeed they were setting off firecrackers.

Ma Shunde was taken aback for a moment, and asked the little eunuch: "What's wrong with Daiwangfu?"

The little eunuch replied: "It seems that there is a happy event, I just ask."

Speaking of which, the little eunuch jumped out of the car and ran over. At this time, the gate of the palace was wide open, and he saw a few people taking red envelopes and red dates and distributing them to passers-by.

"It seems that there is really a happy event."

What kind of happy event can the royal palace have in recent times for the whole family to celebrate?Apart from the fact that the concubine gave birth to a son, is there anything else going on?
Just thinking about it, the little eunuch has already replied: "Elder-in-law, the princess on behalf of the palace has given birth to a son."

"Oh, get in the car and go back to the palace!" After hearing this sentence, Ma Shunde lowered the curtain of the car. Under the confusion, he didn't notice. Thinking: "Maybe I'm thinking pessimistically. Even if King Qi affects his descendants, he already has two sons and a daughter. It's not like there's no chance."

But this matter is already a blow to the man, and it is a fatal blow to the prince who wants to fight for the heir apparent. It can be said that unless there are no more competitors, this alone is enough to make him withdraw from the rank of prince.

"The death rate of princes and daughters is not small, close to half, and they cannot be born again. Even if they have two sons, it is not safe!"

"Your Majesty, what would your Majesty think?"

Especially in comparison, the Dai Wang has heirs and is still a son. This comparison, not to mention King Qi, even Ma Shunde finds it unpleasant.

Xu Yingjie, who was sitting opposite Ma Shunde, was silent and didn't speak. He didn't need to think about it. He knew that when he entered the palace this time, he would definitely face the emperor's wrath. Happy?

Ma Shunde thought all the way, and when he looked up again, he found that the ox cart had stopped, and when he opened the curtain, he had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

"You go in with me." Ma Shunde said to Xu Yingjie, Xu Ying nodded, followed in silence, the two walked quickly, and soon came to the imperial study.

"...The emperor, a son was born on behalf of the king, and I asked my servants to report to the emperor and the empress that the royal family has another branch. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."

Just when he came to the door, he heard a eunuch talking inside, Ma Shunde listened to it, and came to report the news that the Dai Wang had a son.

The old emperor listened attentively, but he couldn't see any joy or anger on his expression. When he saw Ma Shunde poking his head at the door, he immediately said in a deep voice: "I know, the queen is very concerned about this matter, you should go and tell the queen... Ma Shunde , Hurry up and get out!"

Ma Shunde trotted in hurriedly, swallowed, caught a glimpse of Eunuch Zhao who was standing with his hands down, and found that Eunuch Zhao was also smiling and looking at him, his scalp was numb, so he stepped forward and kowtowed without saying a word.

The old emperor thought about it, and asked with a straight face: "How is the situation of King Qi?"

"Your Majesty, this servant is ordered to visit King Qi. King Qi has already woken up and is not in danger of his life. It's just..."

The old emperor's heart relaxed, and he frowned again after hearing this: "You dog slave, why are you hesitating when you speak, please speak quickly."

"Yes... King Qi hurt his vitality, I'm afraid it will hinder his yang energy!"

"What?" The emperor understood the implicit words, and immediately his legs softened and he fell back into the chair, listening to Ma Shunde explain what he had seen and heard, as well as the imperial physician's diagnosis.

After Ma Shunde finished speaking, seeing the old emperor's face turned pale, he hurriedly diverted the trouble, and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician Xu Yingjie is outside, and he knows His Highness Qi's injury best, and he doesn't know much about medicine, slaves... ..."

"Let him come in quickly!" The emperor said immediately after hearing this.

Ma Shunde personally ran out to summon Xu Yingjie to enter, and when Xu Yingjie came in, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly saluted.

The old emperor was a little dizzy, pressed his hands on the cold seat, and asked in a deep voice: "Maybe King Qi's injury hurt Yang Qi? Are you serious?"

When Xu Yingjie was asked, he kowtowed in panic.

"Tell me the truth, I forgive you for your innocence!" The emperor stood up, frowning.

Only then did Xu Yingjie lower his head and said, "Your Majesty, from the pulse diagnosis, King Qi was attacked by the spirit of ghosts and gods."

"Although the spirit of ghosts and gods is pure yang in ghosts, for humans, there is always a trace of yin and cold that is difficult to dissolve, which hurts the essence most, so those who have intercourse with ghosts and gods will not live long, let alone attack. "

"Fortunately, real Liu Zhan arrived and ruled at that time, and the invasion was not deep."

"But after all, it hurts a little bit. The matter of Qi Wangzi's heir may, may have some minor illnesses. The real situation, we need to continue to observe in the future, and see if it can get better after taking medicine."

"I have very little talent and learning, so I dare not speak falsely. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After Xu Yingjie finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

After hearing this, the emperor did not speak, but took a step back, and sat back on the dragon chair again, sitting there like a wooden sculpture made of clay, just silent.

As an emperor, he was used to the evasions of the subordinates, and he also knew the virtues of imperial physicians.

When encountering this kind of thing, the imperial physician always speaks lightly.

If the impact was mild, the imperial physician would not even mention it. Now that it is mentioned that there is a slight ailment, the actual situation may be more serious.

"King Qi!" the emperor murmured, as long as he thought that King Qi might have no heirs from now on, his heart would be half cold.

Taizu's heirs are not rich, let alone, I actually have 11 sons, except for the prince, King Qi, King Shu, and King Lu who was abolished as the king of Linhe County, the other 6 sons all died young.

There is also an 8-year-old son, I don't know if he can grow up to be an adult.

King Qi's two sons and one daughter are not safe at all. If they can't have children in the future, once they die young, it will really be over.

Unless there are no other sons, even if the emperor wants to pass the throne to King Qi, those in the know will object.

Unless all the insiders were killed, thinking of this, the emperor glanced at the two people below, Xu Yingjie seemed to feel it, and his body trembled slightly.

The emperor then shook his head again. According to what he said just now, the imperial physicians are making joint diagnosis and treatment, and they all know about it.

And if such things can be hidden for a while, can they be hidden forever?
If there was only King Qi's son, maybe he killed him by mistake and never let him go, but now... After a long pause, the emperor sighed softly, his voice was lonely.

Once or twice, or even a few times, something wrong happened. Could it be that this son really doesn't have the blessing to rule the world?

But the Dai Wang always made mistakes, took advantage of everything, and now he has a son.

Eunuch Zhao saw the emperor staring at the void for a long time, staring at the void for a long time, and heard an inaudible sigh: "Could it be... is it God's will?"

Eunuch Zhao didn't change his face, his body didn't move, but he thought to himself: "With the emperor's attitude, it looks like he's about to give up King Qi?"

But this is not surprising, if the king of Qi really hurt the root, he would indeed lose the capital to fight for the heir.

Just thinking about it, another young eunuch hurried in: "Report to the emperor, Xueshi Yu is holding a gold medal to ask for an audience, saying that he has a very important matter to report."
