Fast Transmigration: Mortal Girl Upgrade

Chapter 120 Protecting the Silly Prince 35
Wu Yuan hurried to the capital, and first went to the palace to report to the emperor what happened in the past year.Wu Yuan didn't leave the palace until evening.

When they came to Prince Zhao's mansion, the gatekeepers in front saw Wu Yuan coming back, and immediately ran in to report.

Zhao Ziqi, who was in the study, immediately put down the book in his hand and ran out, "Xiao Wu!"

Wu Yuan looked at him with a smile, "Your Majesty, this slave is back." Zhao Ziqi ran over and gave Wu Yuan a bear hug.

This unexpected hug caused Wu Yuan to flood his mother's belt, and stroked his hair, "My lord, have you eaten and dressed properly since the servant is not here?"

Butler Xiao stood behind, frowning as he watched the scene in front of him, and couldn't help reminding him, "Ahem, my lord."

Wu Yuan pushed Zhao Ziqi away, "My lord, let's go into the house, it's cold at night, don't catch a cold."

Butler Xiao brought Zhao Ziqi into the house, blocking the distance between Wu Yuan and him intentionally or unintentionally.Just wait for them to go in first before Wu Yuan goes in.

Wu Yuan can also understand Steward Xiao's behavior, after all, Zhao Ziqi's current status has changed drastically.And the biggest reason why the second prince is going to do something this time is also because of him.

Because Zhao Ziqi is slowly returning to normal.

Everyone thought that he was loved by the gods, and that he was a blessing in disguise during that hunting activity, and his brain returned to normal after having a high fever.But after all, I have been stupid for so many years, and I have to relearn many things.

Everyone thinks that he needs to spend a lot of time studying, but Zhao Ziqi only took a year to catch up, and he is smarter than many people.The unique insights solved many problems, so at this time Zhao Ziqi officially went to court to participate in the government.

Zhao Ziqi was already deeply loved by the emperor, but now he is back to normal and participates in the same court every day. Many officials are flattering him intentionally or unintentionally, which puts a lot of pressure on the second prince.

"Xiao Wu."

Zhao Ziqi's shout disturbed Duan Wuyuan's train of thought, and he answered, "Your Majesty, the servant is here."

"You're getting so dark."

Wu Yuan
It wasn't obvious from the outside, but after entering the room, it was only when there was light that Wu Yuan's originally fair skin was now dark.After staying at the seaside for a long time, the weather is hot in summer, cold in winter, and the sea surface is very windy. My skin has turned darker and rougher.

After that, Zhao Ziqi took Wu Yuan and talked a lot. He was telling these interesting things. Wu Yuan stood aside and listened quietly, adding a few words from time to time.

In front of Wu Yuan, Zhao Ziqi was still like a child.

Wu Yuan resumed her job as a personal servant girl, following him every day to protect him.

However, one night Steward Xiao found Wu Yuan and had a conversation.

Zhao Ziqi has an inexplicable dependence on Wu Yuan, it was fine in the past, but now he can't be like this with a maid, the majesty of the royal family can't be polluted.

Regarding this matter, Wu Yuan said that he understands his responsibilities and will not have any unreasonable thoughts.And for the task object, work is work, whether it is public or private, and there will be no disputes with the task object, because I will leave sooner or later.

Every day when Zhao Ziqi went to court, Wu Yuan was waiting outside.After the early court was left alone by the emperor, Wu Yuan was still waiting outside.Back at the palace, Zhao Ziqi needed to study, and Wu Yuan waited quietly outside.

But every time Zhao Ziqi turned around, he could see Wu Yuan, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and then continued to get involved in the matter.

After these days lasted for ten days, the spies came to report that the second prince was going to do something tonight.

Wu Yuan, who came to the palace ahead of time, said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

"Ah."

The emperor responded without answering, and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Why do one or two have to go to the road of forcing the palace.Second child, I have given you so many opportunities, why are you still obsessed with it.And Kun'er...

The head eunuch came in from outside, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready."

Huang Shangping retired from the army and got up, "Well, let's pass on the meal."

The emperor's diet consisted of nine dishes and one soup for each meal, even if only one person ate it.Every meal will be tested for poison by silver needle first, and then tasted by a special person, and it will be passed on to the emperor after everything is ok.

The eunuch who tried to eat retreated, and the head eunuch served the emperor a meal, "Your majesty, please try this carp, it is specially made by the imperial chef."

The emperor ate his food expressionlessly, and the chief eunuch ate whatever he had in his hands.

After dinner, the emperor's daily itinerary was to go to the imperial study to revise the memorial.

Everything is normal.

The chief eunuch looked at the clock outside and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to serve you some cakes?"

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, "Well, you go..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor fell from his seat with a plop.

"Your Majesty!" the Chief Eunuch exclaimed, "Come quickly, the Emperor has passed out! Come quickly!"

The palace was instantly brightly lit.

Inside the emperor's bedroom

"How is the emperor?" the queen in her 40s asked the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor shook his head helplessly, "The emperor is already old and has been busy with state affairs recently. His heart palpitations are not consistent. This is due to overwork..."

The latter word, imperial physician, was not spoken out loud, but the meaning was obvious.Instantly there was crying in the bedroom.

"Father! What's wrong with Father!"

"Kun'er." The second prince's mother-in-law came forward in tears, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Then she threw herself beside him and cried.

"This...how is this possible." The second prince looked at the bloodless emperor on the bed with disbelief and grief on his face.

At this time, the people outside the door were full of civil and military officials from the court, whispering to each other about things, and some directly asked the eunuchs outside the door about the situation inside.

The chief eunuch came out from inside.

"Eunuch Lin, how is the emperor doing?"

"Yes, how is the emperor now?"

The chief eunuch said sadly, "The emperor... passed away..."

Zhao Ziqi, who just rushed over at this moment, said, "No way! Grandpa Huang didn't die!"

Wu Yuan quietly appeared next to Zhao Ziqi from the side, trying to comfort the hard-hit boy. "My lord, don't be sad."

"Xiao Wu! This must be a joke, right? It's a joke made by Grandpa Huang."

Wu Yuan shook his head, Zhao Ziqi immediately ran up the steps to enter the house, no one else stopped him, and Wu Yuan also took advantage of this to go in together.

Seeing the emperor lying motionless on the bed, Zhao Ziqi was stunned for a long time, and then burst into tears.The sad voice reached the ears of the ministers outside, and everyone knelt down one after another.

Mr. Xie was among them, and no one saw the slight smile on his lips at night.

can't live without you

In the court, because the emperor did not write down the will, there was a dispute over the issue of the next heir to the throne.

Because now the imperial court is divided into two factions, one faction supports the second prince, and the other faction supports Xian Wang.

When someone stood up to support King Xian, the second prince never thought of it.
