The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

The morning court that day was canceled due to Emperor Yao's sudden illness.

Last night, after the old man Huang revealed the truth about blowing up the embankment to frame the prince, before the prince came to confront him, he suddenly crashed into the big pillar in the hall, splattering blood all over his body, shocking Yao Emperor and others.

Before he died, he also revealed that he was instigated by the second prince, who gave him fire thunder and instigated him to blow up the dam.

The second prince promised that after the matter was completed, he could be brought to Emperor Yao to reveal the crimes committed by the prince and seek justice for his children.

Emperor Yao was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he immediately sent a message to the second prince to come to the palace to interrogate him.

The second prince was panicked after hearing the news, but he had no choice but to come to see the saint.

As soon as he stepped into the Chongyang Palace and saw Old Man Huang lying in a pool of blood, the second prince's face turned pale and confused.

Later, the prince and the second prince accused each other in front of Emperor Yao, each holding his own opinions and quarreling with each other.

The prince took out his account book and accused the second prince of colluding with Xu Zheng, the minister of household affairs, to embezzle official salt and resell it to make money.

The second prince was not to be outdone. He held evidence of the crimes committed by the prince's confidant Gao Ziming over the years, pointing out that when the prince was supervising the construction of the dam, he allowed his officials to enrich themselves and become corrupt.

The second prince said that while the prince was charging the people to repair the dam, he was using inferior materials to meet the construction deadline.

There was also an accident in which a stone loosened and fell, killing a worker. However, the prince tried his best to cover up the incident in order to avoid punishment from Emperor Yao.

The argument between the two became more and more intense, and both wanted to kill the other.

When Emperor Yao saw this, he became furious and scolded the two men. Unexpectedly, the two people did not know how to restrain themselves, and instead asked Emperor Yao to punish each other.

Emperor Yao was so angry that he fainted.

At this moment, all the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital and the concubines of the harem gathered in the Changyang Hall, extremely anxious.

The palace was in chaos, and there was a tense atmosphere, like a dark cloud, making people breathless.

People outside the palace were extremely shocked when they learned that the crown prince and the second prince were banned at the same time.

For a moment, people were panicked, the government and the public were shocked, and everyone was worried about the current situation of the court.

When Taishi Liang and several senior ministers learned of this, they hurried outside the Changyang Palace to see Emperor Yao, but were blocked by Eunuch Wu.

In the palace, only a few imperial doctors and the queen stayed to take care of Emperor Yao's bed.

Grand Master Liang and the others waited outside the palace until noon, when they saw the empress coming out with a haggard look and being helped by palace attendants.

Then, Emperor Yao, who regained his consciousness, saw Taishi Liang go in to see the saint alone.

When the others saw this, they began to feel uneasy.

Taifu Wang Mingqi secretly gave the queen a questioning look.

The queen shook her head at him in confusion.

Wang Mingqi's face suddenly turned gloomy.

After a long time, Grand Master Liang walked out of the Changyang Palace with a solemn expression and conveyed Emperor Yao's decree: the prince and the second prince were temporarily banned from being involved in a flood case and were guarded by the imperial guards.

The case will be decided after the fourth prince Huo Yunjue and Dali Temple jointly investigate the case.

After everyone listened to the decree, they couldn't help but notice Emperor Yao's subtle attitude towards the three princes.

Some courtiers were afraid that Emperor Yao would severely punish the crown prince and the second prince, and they were even more afraid that it would affect them.

At this time, Eunuch Wu came out and gave the order: Emperor Yao needed to rest and ordered everyone to leave.

Everyone obeyed the order and left Changyang Palace with their own thoughts.

And when Emperor Yao's oral order arrived at the fourth prince's residence.

Huo Yunjue was lying in bed and was very ill. He was so hot that he didn't even have the strength to speak, let alone get up to receive the order.

Seeing this situation, the internal official who delivered the order had no choice but to return to the palace and return to the throne truthfully.

When Emperor Yao heard about it, he immediately ordered his imperial physician to diagnose and treat Huo Yunjue. He felt suspicious in his heart that his illness had come just by chance.

However, Huo Yunjue was really sick this time.

Last night in Xiyuan, Ning Ziqing kept pestering him and refused to let him go.

In the end, he tried his best to coax Ning Ziqing into agreeing to wait until she fell asleep before leaving.

When he returned to the mansion from Xiyuan, before he had time to rest, news came about the prison robbery at Dali Temple.

Huo Yunjue was busy dealing with this important matter and stayed up all night. It was not until dawn when everything settled that he went to sleep with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, I didn't wake up until the afternoon.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Huo Yunjue noticed that something was not right with his physical condition. His forehead was hot, his whole body was sore and weak, his consciousness was blurred, and he would twitch from time to time.

His illness was severe, his high fever persisted, his throat was swollen and sore, and he could not speak.

The imperial doctors tried all kinds of methods, but still could not make Huo Yunjue get rid of his high fever.

Seeing that Huo Yunjue was so burned that he was delirious, and the imperial doctor was helpless, Wei Feng and Weiyu were so anxious that they scratched their heads and had to run to invite Su Yanqi.

That night, Su Yan stayed in front of Huo Yunjue's bed, giving him injections and medicine. The high fever came back several times, and it was not until the morning of the next day that he finally subsided.

Seeing that Huo Yunjue's condition had improved, the imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back to the palace to report back to Emperor Yao.

Emperor Yao did not expect Huo Yunjue to be so seriously ill, so he quickly issued an order and sent several palace officials to take good care of him.

Concubine Wan requested an order to visit Huo Yunjue, and Emperor Yao agreed.

As for the investigation, Emperor Yao had to give up and ordered Dali Temple to handle the case with full authority and deliver a satisfactory result as soon as possible.

At night, Concubine Wan hurried to Huo Yunjue's side and saw that his eyes were closed, his lips were chapped, his face was pale, and he was lying on the bed very weakly, sleeping.

Concubine Wan was so distressed that she burst into tears.

"Ah Jue, my mother-in-law came to see you. Are you feeling better?"

Concubine Wan sat beside the bed, gently picked up his exposed hand and helped him cover him with quilt.

But she found that he was holding a sachet tightly in his right hand. Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment and quickly signaled to Aunt Zhang to retreat to all the palace guests in the room.

"Go and ask Shichiro-kun to come over!"

Concubine Wan pulled the sachet from Huo Yunjue's hand, tucked him in, walked to the outer room and sat at the table, waiting for Su Yanqi to arrive.

After a while, Nanny Zhang led Su Yanqi into the house.

"Wei Chen has met Concubine Wan." Su Yanqi bowed respectfully to Concubine Wan.

Concubine Wan smiled gently: "Qi Langjun, you don't have to be formal. Please sit down."

Su Yanqi thanked Concubine Wan and sat down next to Concubine Wan.

Concubine Wan gave Nanny Zhang a wink, and Nanny Zhang stepped back and closed the door with her backhand, guarding the outside.

There was no one else in the house, so Concubine Wan asked him in a gentle tone: "Qi Lang, when do you plan to marry Miss Ning San?"

Su Yanqi's eyes were startled, and he replied with a guilty conscience: "Weichen and the third lady have discussed it before and plan to get married next year."

Concubine Wan sighed softly and stared at Su Yanqi calmly: "Qilang, you don't have to hide it from me. I already know what happened between the three of you."

With that said, Concubine Wan placed the sachet on the table.

Su Yanqi's face froze, her mind was buzzing, and she immediately stood up and knelt down: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have deceived you. If you want to blame, just blame me."

Su Yanqi lowered his head and admitted his mistake guiltily.

Concubine Wan stepped forward to help him up and said lovingly: "Qilang, this is not your fault. It is Ah Jue who is sorry for you. Why do you have to bear this grievance alone?"

Su Yanqi shook his head and replied calmly: "I was willing to help them both, and I helped them hide it. I can't marry the third lady, so please forgive me."

Concubine Wan was stunned and asked him in surprise: "Don't you really like the third lady?"

Su Yanqi smiled bitterly and confessed her feelings: "Mother, I like the third lady. But I don't want to force her. The person she loves is the fourth highness. I don't want her to be in trouble, marry someone she doesn't like, and regret for the rest of her life."

After hearing what he said, Concubine Wan understood and couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Yanqi.

Although she could understand Ning Ziqing's feelings for Huo Yunjue, Concubine Wan was worried because of the awkward situation the three of them were currently in and Huo Yunjue's status as a prince:

"Qilang, even if you are willing to let go and break off the engagement with the third lady, there is no way they can be together, and His Majesty will not agree to Ah Jue marrying her."

Su Yanqi looked slightly startled, and was about to persuade, when Concubine Wan continued: "Now the situation in the court is unstable, and there are constant disputes in the previous court. If A Jue is involved in these turmoils, it will be difficult for him to protect himself. The third lady now has a special status. , she has an accomplished general brother behind her, and the rich Fu family who dotes on her in every possible way. With such a family background, do you think that with His Majesty’s current attitude towards A Jue, he can agree to A Jue marrying the third lady as the fourth prince? Concubine?"

Concubine Wan's words made Su Yanqi's face change greatly. She thought of Emperor Yao's order to Huo Yunjue to investigate the flood case. In fact, she was afraid that she was suspicious of him, so she took the opportunity to test Huo Yunjue to see what he would do. How to treat the crown prince and second prince.

Thinking of this, Su Yanqi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

He looked at Concubine Wan at a loss and called out with a heavy heart: "Aunt..."

Concubine Wan took Su Yanqi's hand and said earnestly: "Good boy, for the sake of the Su family and A Jie, we can only stop thinking about them. You promise your aunt to marry the third lady, okay?"

Su Yanqi looked troubled and looked at Concubine Wan hesitantly.

Concubine Wan couldn't force him anymore, so she said instead: "Let's not talk about this for now. I will go back to the palace soon. I will go see Ah Jue again. This sachet is temporarily put away to prevent it from being stolen by someone with ulterior motives. If you find out, go to His Majesty and talk nonsense."

Su Yanqi nodded in agreement, picked up the sachet and hid it in his sleeve, bowed and left.

Concubine Wan stopped him again: "In a few days, His Majesty will order me to summon you and the Third Miss into the palace to inquire about your marriage. You should talk to the Third Miss in advance so that His Majesty can feel at ease."

"I obey," Su Yanqi responded quickly.
