Compared with the sisters in the palace of Chen State, the two brothers in the palace of Qi State are only hypocritical.

"The prince is sick again?" Concubine Chen was wrapped in fox fur, holding the pot in her slender hands, poured out the mellow wine as thick as amber, and then pushed the wine cup towards her son.

The heroic young man sitting opposite her drank the wine in one gulp. He was wearing a thin shirt and his strong arms were exposed. Hearing this, he sneered: "Brother Prince is weak, what winter doesn't he get sick?"

"This year is different." Concubine Chen asked someone to get a cloak to put on Xiao Mingxuan, and glared at him, "Don't rely on your body and don't even wear cotton-padded clothes, the windows are still open here!"

Xiao Mingxuan didn't contradict her, but asked the palace servants to move the brazier farther away - he has strong firepower and has always been afraid of heat but not cold.

The royal family of the Qi State was originally a nomadic people. They were used to living in dome huts and tents. After the capital was established, the palace was built. After several generations of repairs, it was expanded to the current scale. It is not as luxurious or comfortable as the Chen State Palace, not even the dragon. If you have to burn it, you can only burn charcoal fires in the living room to keep warm.

Apart from his absurd young son, there was also his frail and sickly crown prince who worried Emperor Qi.

Concubine Shun's family exhausted all their strength to seek medical treatment and medicine for the crown prince, and sent precious tonics to the East Palace like water, but his body did not improve.

If the health is not good, it is good to have an heir, but there are so many beauties in the East Palace, and there is no good news for any of them. If the crown prince can't afford it, the hopes of Concubine Shun's entire family will be wiped out.

"What's unusual?" Xiao Mingxuan felt bored when he thought of his brother's dignified, self-possessed and serious face, "Concubine Shun is too impatient, even if it's breeding cattle and sheep, two animals have to look at each other. The prince's brother doesn't like those beauties , can you force him to have sex?"

Concubine Chen giggled amused by his metaphor, poured him another glass of wine, and said in a low voice: "Usually, when the crown prince is ill, Concubine Shun must call all the imperial physicians for consultation, but this time only the crown prince is ill. Imperial Physician Guo, who came from her natal family, didn't even take medicine from the imperial hospital, and she didn't know what she was doing in secret."

Xiao Mingxuan paid far less attention to the crown prince than the fine wine in front of him, drank another glass, sighed contentedly, and replied, "Perhaps the crown prince's elder brother is fine, and the New Year is approaching, Concubine Shun doesn't want to disturb the emperor, right? "

"That's not it!" Concubine Chen half-covered her mouth, her voice lowered, "There was news from Concubine Shun's palace that the prince vomited blood the day before yesterday."

That sounds serious!Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, usually the prince would get a little bit oily and concubine Shun would cry and fight, and she would hide her blood when she vomited, the more people thought about it, the more suspicious she became.

"Okay." He stood up and stretched his waist. His strong and muscular lines made the little maids blush. Xiao Mingxuan smiled maliciously and said, "Since the prince's brother is ill, I will be the younger brother." I have to go to visit, maybe my brother sees me in a good mood and recovers from my illness!"

It's absolutely impossible to burn incense without being pissed off.Concubine Chen hurriedly ordered people to equip gifts, and called people over to change her son's clothes again and again. She had to dress up majesticly and handsomely, so as not to envy her deadly enemy over there.

Xiao Mingxuan let her dress up, and after getting dressed, he picked up the hip flask on the table, poured the remaining fine wine into his mouth, and strode out.

The atmosphere in the entire Eastern Palace was stagnant, with a prosperous brazier burning in the room, reflecting the snowflakes outside the window, adding a bit of depression.

Several braziers were burning in the Prince's bedroom, steaming like a steamer, whoever entered would be covered in sweat, but Xiao Mingyue was still shivering under the quilt, her hands and feet were cold, her face was pale and blue, even her lips were bloodless , opening and closing in a coma, uttering vague words that no one could understand.

Doctor Guo stayed outside for several days, feeling that his old bones were about to be dried.

Countless soups and medicines were poured in, and they were all spit out intact, and porridge water could not be fed in. Even if he was strong and healthy, he would not be able to withstand such torture, not to mention that the crown prince has always been weak, and after a few days, he has obviously weakened a lot. Even his thin body is as thin as paper.

As for the prince's illness, it was even more fatal. Not only did Concubine Shun dare not speak out, but if she couldn't cure the prince's illness, she might not be able to leave the East Palace alive.

"The prince's yang energy is exhausted, and he can't hide his spirit... This is a disease of exfoliation." He still remembered that when he stammered out the prince's illness, Concubine Shun's expression wished to swallow him alive, "When... ...Restraint to protect oneself, fine-tune and nurture, otherwise I may harm the offspring."

Concubine Shun walked away, putting the burden of treating the crown prince on his shoulders alone, and refused to call other imperial physicians to see him.

Thinking about it, the crown prince has always been a fairy figure in the eyes of the public. If there are rumors that excessive flowering hurts the body and may even cause infertility, then his position as the crown prince will come to an end.

After three days and still not waking up, Imperial Physician Guo couldn't take it any longer, took out the gold needle, pinpointed the correct position and injected it for a few times, after a while, the prince finally woke up slowly.

Imperial Physician Guo was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked someone to serve soup and medicine. Xiao Mingyue was fed a bowl of bitter medicine soup in a daze, and she covered her mouth and nose so as not to spit it out.

"How long have I been ill?" He was covered in cold sweat, limp and weak, and his voice was hoarse and almost transparent. Before Imperial Physician Guo could reply, Concubine Shun's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "You have been ill for three days."

Xiao Mingyue lowered his eyes and let the palace servants wipe the sweat off his forehead. His skin was thin and his bones looked weak. Concubine Shun was both pitiful and irritating. Her voice softened a bit, but her tone was still not kind. : "Yue'er, which vixen seduced you and killed you?"

Xiao Mingyue gasped, shook her head in embarrassment, and said: "There are many beauties in the East Palace, it's Meng Lang, mother, don't blame them."

Concubine Shun sneered, and waved the others to retreat. Only mother and son were left in the furnace-like palace room. She stared at the sickly and weak son, and said: "Of course I don't blame them, I have already asked someone to inspect it. , the beauties in your palace are still virgins, with whom did you drag your body like this?"

Xiao Mingyue's body shook, and she raised her face with difficulty, her eyes were flushed, and her eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, her eyes, which were always clear and clear, were full of sadness, sadness and embarrassment, and also mixed with fear that she couldn't understand. And frightened, where is Li Lisi's gentle, elegant and heavenly appearance?

Facing his mother's questioning, he just pursed his lips and refused to utter half a word. Concubine Shun didn't dare to force him anymore—if the prince was forced to hook up with lonely concubines or cousins, she would be really angry .

Concubine Shun sat down by the bed, patted the back of his hand, and comforted him earnestly: "No matter who that person is, you must take care of your health and ascend to the throne, otherwise everything will be empty talk. Once you become emperor, why worry about it?" Can't stay with your lover openly?"

What she thought she was consoling stabbed a knife in the prince's heart, Xiao Mingyue's face became even uglier, a tear fell down and splashed on the back of her pale hand.

He was as cold and lifeless as a corpse, only the slightly heaving chest proved that he was still alive, the light in his eyes faded, and he stared helplessly, helplessly and hopelessly at a vague and hard-to-find shadow at the end of the void, before squeezing from his lips for a long time Say a few words: "I understand..."

Xiao Mingxuan, an unwelcome visitor, interrupted the confrontation between the mother and son. Before the gatekeeper's voice could be heard, he swaggered in with a chill in his body.

First flushed by the oncoming heat wave in the crown prince's room, and then seeing Concubine Shun with a condensed expression, he chuckled, saluted, and sat down beside the crown prince's bed, pretending to be caring. Surprised: "Why is the emperor so sick?"

Xiao Mingyue coughed a few times, then smiled weakly: "It's just that Shangxue got cold, it's not a problem."

He lied in a serious manner, and Xiao Mingxuan believed it graciously. Anyway, their brothers are always like this, they often pretend to be submissive, and seldom speak honestly.

Even if he is not fighting for power, he still looks down on people like Xiao Mingyue, who is courageous, ignorant, and indecisive.

Xiao Mingxuan turned to Concubine Shun, her tone was respectful, but her attitude was tough: "It's getting late, your empress should go back to the palace and rest, I'll just take care of you, Brother Emperor."

Behind the cynical smile was an unruly ferocity like a wild beast, which made people hairy. Concubine Shun gave her son a wary look, and walked away worriedly.

The prince didn't want to and didn't have the energy to pay attention to him, he leaned on the bedside and closed his eyes to rest.

He had a frowning look, as if there were countless heavy thoughts on his brows, which almost crushed his whole body.

Xiao Mingxuan was sweating after sitting for a while, and it was better to take off his outer robe. He looked at the thin white neck of the prince who was slightly upturned, it was so fragile that if he put one hand on it, he could wring it off without using all his strength.

But he couldn't do that, the brothers knew it well.

"Brother Huang." Xiao Mingxuan sighed, "If it wasn't for the legacy of the Taizu, my brother would be willing to help you out."

The tone was gloating, Xiao Mingyue opened his eyes, and looked at this younger brother who he had never been able to figure out in surprise.

When the Taizu of the Qi State unified the tribes, he was bloodthirsty. He not only slaughtered his brothers and nephews, but also strangled and buried his brothers' wives and concubines. In his later years, he regretted that the killing was too much for fear of causing harm to his descendants, so he left a legacy: the royal family Brothers are not allowed to kill each other, and when the elder brother dies, the younger brother has to support the tribe and children, wives and concubines left by him. It is necessary to give a layer of fake warmth to the bloody imperial power struggle.

Xiao Mingxuan got angry when he saw that he was dying. He boasted that he was a lion on the grassland, so he didn't bother to kill a weak rabbit. Although he was disrespectful to the prince, he never made his brother Dead mind.

It's just that the words don't sound so nice——

"So emperor brother, hurry up and torture yourself to death, so that younger brother can take in the beauties in your palace with peace of mind. As for Concubine Shun's tribe, the good life has been too long, and it's time to taste what it's like to be a slave."

The clay figurine still has three parts earthy nature, not to mention that Xiao Mingyue, the eldest son of the emperor who was held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, was unsurprisingly aroused by the other party's arrogant words, and the clouds in his eyes cleared up, shining brightly.

This is still like a human being, how can he be his brother with his lifeless appearance before, it would be embarrassing for him just by looking at him.

Seeing that his brother had obviously come to life, Xiao Mingxuan was already terrified by the brazier in the room, and didn't want to stay for a while, and left as if flying away without even putting on his outer robe.

Hearing that the maids and eunuchs guarding the outer room breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully sent Xiao Mingxuan away, the prince sneered, and a crazy idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

With trembling hands, he threw Xiao Mingxuan's outer robe into the brazier, dragged half of it out, the flames quickly shot out along the fabric, and climbed onto various drapes in the room.

Xiao Mingyue stared at the flames climbing around, leaned out of the couch, and shouted to the outside: "Come here..."
