Stunning beauty

into the night.

Palace of Shou'an.

There was a severe coughing sound, so piercing.

Inside and outside the dormitory, the servants in the palace came in and out, all looking extremely anxious.

Emperor Shang was bedridden with a sudden serious illness, and almost all the imperial physicians were announced into the palace to diagnose the emperor's pulse.

In the main hall, several old doctors looked at each other and looked at you with anxiety on their faces.

Several imperial physicians could tell that His Majesty was injured in his viscera, and if he was a little careless, his life might even be in danger.

"What are you doing in a daze, take medicine!"

On the side, Empress Changsun saw the hesitation of several imperial physicians, and shouted in a deep voice.

"well."

An imperial doctor came back to his senses, responded in a panic, and then began to write the prescription in a hurry.

"Queen."

On the bed, Emperor Shang coughed violently again several times, barely propped himself up, looked at Fa's wife beside the bed, and asked, "Bai, where's Bai'er?"

"Someone has been sent to declare."

Empress Changsun stepped forward, supported Her Majesty to lie down on the bed, and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Bai'er will be there soon."

"Queen, I am going to let Bai'er supervise the country."

Emperor Shang asked weakly, "What do you think?"

"Supervisory country?"

Empress Changsun was shocked, her face changed several times, and she replied with some embarrassment, "Your Majesty, Bai'er has no experience in governing a country."

"Experience can be learned."

Shang Huang leaned on the bed, and said with a tired expression, "Just in time, take this opportunity to let Bai'er get acquainted with the law of governing the country."

In the hall, several imperial doctors heard the conversation between the Queen and His Majesty, and their hearts were full of turmoil.

Four princes overseeing the country?

Throughout the ages, only the crown prince has the power to oversee the country. His Majesty's decision is tantamount to acquiescing that the four princes are the future heirs to the throne.

Beside the dragon couch, Empress Changsun had heard the words of Emperor Shang, and she clenched her hands tightly, the palms of which were covered with sweat.

She didn't know if this was His Majesty's temptation, or if she really wanted Bai'er to supervise the country.

Moreover, now is the time of war, and the merits and demerits of the supervisor will be infinitely magnified. Whether it is a blessing or a curse is still unknown.

"Your Majesty, when Bai'er comes, let him make his own decision."

After a brief thought, Empress Changsun suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and replied, "This matter, the concubine can't decide."

"Forget it, let's wait for Bai'er to come to discuss."

On the bed, Emperor Shang said something, without further words, closed his eyes, and leaned against the head of the bed to rest.

His current situation is indeed not very good, he needs to rest at ease, and can no longer overwork.

The sword of the saint is truly unstoppable.

In the hall, the atmosphere gradually calmed down. Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be asleep, the imperial physicians did not dare to speak loudly.

Beside the bed, Empress Changsun stood there quietly, without saying a word, thoughts flashing through her eyes.

at the same time.

In the palace, Mu Bai hurriedly passed by, along the way, the imperial guards avoided one after another, not daring to stop him.

Soon, Mu Bai came outside the Shou'an Hall, and walked in without notification.

On the dragon couch, Shang Huang felt it and immediately opened his eyes.

"Father!"

Mu Bai stepped forward and asked with concern, "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine."

Shang Huang looked at his son-in-law in front of him, with a tired smile on his face, and replied.

"Queen, what did the imperial physician say?" Mu Bai looked at his mother at the side and asked.

"The imperial doctor said that your father's illness requires time to recuperate." Empress Changsun replied truthfully.

"Bai'er."

The Emperor Shang stared at his son-in-law in front of him, and asked seriously, "I may have to rest for a while, but the country cannot be left alone for a day. I intend to let you supervise the country on my behalf. Are you willing?"

"Children supervise the country?"

Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, and refused without hesitation, "Father, my sons have no experience in governing the country, how can I take on this important task, there are many capable ministers in the court, and the father can choose One, take this position temporarily."

"Bullshit!"

When the Emperor Shang heard the words, his face darkened, and he shouted, "Sir, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a minister. How can you surpass him? As my son, at this time, you should be brave enough to take on this important task and share my worries."

"Father."

Mu Bai frowned, and was about to say something when he was interrupted directly.

"No need to say any more, this matter has been decided!"

Emperor Shang said in a deep voice, "These days when I am recovering from illness, you will supervise the country. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to Shou'an Palace and ask me for advice."

Mu Bai looked at the resolute look of his father in front of him, fell silent, not knowing how to refuse.

"The young master is saying that His Royal Highness is going to supervise the country?"

At the same time, in the inner courtyard of Li Garden, Tao Tao asked in shock after hearing what the young master said.

"Ah."

Li Ziye nodded and explained, "The old fox has no choice. The sword of the Confucian old man is enough for him to drink a pot. If he doesn't rest well, he may lose his life."

"That's a good thing!"

Taotao's face showed a look of joy, and said, "The young master has a good relationship with the Fourth Highness, and the Fourth Highness supervises the country. The pressure on our Li family can be reduced a lot."

"not necessarily."

Li Ziye shook his head lightly, and replied calmly, "Mubai is only the supervisor of the country, and the real power is still in the hands of the Shang emperor. The relationship between the Li family and the royal family will not change, and it may be even worse. .”

"Why?" Taotao asked puzzled.

"Queen line."

Li Ziye said calmly, "Originally, in the battle between us and the Emperor Shang, the empress and the empress lineage were on our side. At that time, we had a common enemy, and the Li family also intended to push Mubai to the throne. With the same interests, cooperation is a matter of course. However, after the fall of the First Prince and the Third Prince, the relationship between us and the Empress has begun to become delicate. Now, Mu Bai is about to take the position of supervisor of the country, and the Empress will think about things , the interests of the royal family will definitely come first, what’s more”

Speaking of this, Li Ziye paused, and continued, "In order to consolidate Mu Bai's position, the queen may deliberately distance herself from the Li family, so as not to cause Shang Huang's displeasure, so from today onwards, the Li family will face to face It’s not only the Emperor Shang who is right, but also the empress.”

"What about the Fourth Highness?"

Taotao suppressed the turmoil in her heart and asked, "Your Highness Fourth is a kind person, definitely not an ungrateful person."

"Mubai, he has no right, he can't decide anything."

Li Ziye replied, "Now is the transition period before Mu Bai takes power. At this special time, the pressure on the Li family will not change."

"What are we going to do?" Taotao asked solemnly.

"It's very simple, take this opportunity to completely straighten Mu Bai."

Li Ziye said coldly, "Mubai's supervision of the country is the Emperor Shang's choice. Since he has gone behind the scenes, we will find a way to prevent him from coming back!"

From supervising the country to governing the country, it's just a word difference.

As long as the old fox retreats, he will never come back!
