Aggrieved Fish Sprite

"...that jade seal, are you going to leave it to the sixth prince?"

Although Meng Qi found the jade seal, he didn't take it away. He put the jade seal back into the box and put it back in the tree hole.

Firstly, Meng Qi didn't take this treasure with extraordinary meaning and priceless value very seriously, and secondly, the jade seal was not easy to carry in his bosom at all, it would bulge out wherever it was stuffed, and it couldn't be dropped or knocked.

Besides, being an emperor does not depend on the jade seal, holding the jade seal can't determine the ownership of the throne, so what do you do with it?

Still cumbersome!

"After the fall of the Chu Dynasty, the whereabouts of the jade seal was unknown, did you find it?"

"Cough cough."

The prince nodded, looking sad.

The court lady Yu Lan was sobbing softly beside her. Although she didn't speak, there was despair in her eyes that couldn't be resolved.

"It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, but that if I die, there will be problems both inside and outside the court." The prince gasped a few times, and then smiled wryly, "The courtiers in the outer court only need to think about who the next master of the East Palace is, and choose among the princes. Pick and choose, and find a prince who they think is the best to speak and make their lives easier. The national teacher has also served in an official position, and he should understand the calculations in the minds of these civil servants. The third emperor is the most suitable candidate in their minds. But no, three The imperial brother's temperament simply... can't..."

Seeing that his face turned pale, Mo Li sent another wave of internal energy to him.

"Calm down, don't get excited, how to take care of yourself, you know exactly what to do."

"The doctor is right."

The prince slowly lay back on the bed, Yu Lan wiped away her tears and went out to fetch the medicine.

Mo Li stopped her and said in a low voice, "Bring the prescription together, I'll take a look."

Yu Lan raised her eyes, and after getting the prince's permission, she responded.

The medicine had been prepared a long time ago, and it was placed on the stove in the outer hall. Manager Chen kept the prescription, and Yu Lan unlocked the key to open the box to get it.

Mo Li smelled the smell of the medicine, and stopped him: "Wait a minute, are there any other herbs in the East Palace? Take me to have a look."

"Is there a problem with the medicine?" Yu Lan was taken aback.

The prince didn't react, and he didn't panic.

"Do you trust the imperial physician?" Meng Qi asked meaningfully.

"It's not them I trust, it's their brains."

The prince laughed at himself and said, "In the imperial father's harem, several low-ranking concubines die of illness every year, plus my imperial sister, my imperial brother, and the imperial physicians know too much. The end of knowing too much is Death, those imperial physicians who are still alive know better than the courtiers that whoever is the emperor can survive. They don't want me to die. As for the medicine, it is made by my confidantes and servants. They don't even pretend to be others. I can trust their ability and loyalty. No matter where they are, there will always be people with other thoughts, and this East Palace is no exception. Gu's confidants know how to deal with these people and will not give them any loopholes."

The prince beckoned feebly, the civet cat on the beam looked at him for a while, then slowly moved over.

Meng Qi: "..."

The national teacher walked to the other side of the bed without a trace.

When Taijing Longmai first took shape, everyone wanted to "bully" him because of his chubby gerbil appearance.Although those were the natural enemies of gerbils, Meng Guoshi was only afraid of cats, and there was a reason for this.

Gerbils run fast and can dig holes, and there are mountains and rocks as natural barriers. Before taking on a human form, Taijing Longmai never left its "home".Ever since he was able to become a human, go down the mountain, and have the power to defend himself, Taijing Longmai became more courageous, and walking around caused the dangers he encountered to double.

Many years later, Meng Qi, who was the national teacher of the Chu Dynasty, learned martial arts hard and drove away the alchemists who bluffed and deceived. It can be said that he was fearless, thinking that he could walk sideways in Taijing.

Then, there was the cat.

During the heyday of the Chu Dynasty, every household in the capital had a surplus of money and food, and they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and then there was a rat problem.

Originally, there were only a few households that kept cats, but rats became rampant, biting furniture and clothing, stealing food, lamp oil, and even children who were reluctant to eat the candy in their pockets. The government hired raccoon slaves to go home to catch mice.

If you catch well, and catch a lot of raccoon slaves, you can eat fresh fish all at once.

Those who are good at catching mice are even more famous in the market. Every time a kitten is born, the threshold of the owner's house can be broken.

——No one knows what happened to the fat mouse. Anyway, the national teacher will no longer easily turn into a gerbil and go out for a walk in the middle of the night.

Meng Qi appreciated General Song's garden not only because it was well maintained, but also because General Song liked brightly colored birds, so there were no cats in the house, and no one was allowed to keep cats.

In order to steal Prime Minister Deng's mutton, Meng Qi almost confronted Prime Minister Deng's black cat several times. Fortunately, Mrs. Deng raised the cat too fat to run fast.Unexpectedly, the cat recognized Longmai's real body, and every time it saw the national teacher, it would frantically pounce on it and scratch it. Who is Prime Minister Deng?Seeing that, Zhiwei immediately became suspicious of Meng Qi. Although he didn't catch Xing Xing, he still identified the culprit who stole the mutton.

Deng Shusheng, a bad-tempered food protector, raised a narrow-minded short-sighted cat.

In order to keep an eye on him, he squatted on the wall of the National Teacher's Mansion every day, day and night, and suddenly appeared like a ghost. A real ambush master, if the gerbil was crushed, it would probably pass out directly.The most frightening thing is that this cat holds grudges, keeps fighting and loses, and then loses and loses. In less than half a year, it was so skinny that it looked like a different cat.

——For a long time, every time Meng Qi heard a cat meowing, he subconsciously searched for that black shadow around him.

The raccoon slaves have a very strange personality. Sometimes they don’t catch gerbils when they see them running past. Some of them are obviously sleeping in the sun on the wall, but they suddenly turn over and come straight to the fat rats. Their claws are so fast. Afterimages can be seen, comparable to the Qianye Tathagata Hand of Hengchang Temple and the Bone Shadowless Claw of the evil sect.

Even third-rate Jianghu masters can't learn it.

Meng Qi looked indifferently at the cat sitting on the step beside the bed wagging its tail, but didn't get up.

"Ahu refused to get close to me a month ago, and I knew that my time was numbered. Some people say that black cats can understand the mystery. Although Ahu is not a black cat, he may also be able to see things that ordinary people can't see. thing."

The prince reached out to touch the civet cat's head, but the latter avoided it immediately.

Meng Qi couldn't hear other people talking good things about the raccoon slave, so he couldn't help but said: "This has nothing to do with the raccoon slave. The creatures in the mountains will stay away from their companions who are about to die of illness. This is their instinct. If they are seriously injured, or Those of the same kind who are dying of starvation, they have no such taboo."

"The national teacher has seen it?"

"There are wolves in the depths of Shangyun Mountain. One wolf suddenly became seriously ill. The next day, he couldn't even stand up. The wolves watched it from a distance. They watched it for a day and a night, until the sick wolf died, and then howled. leave,"

Hearing this, the prince couldn't help sighing: "Ah Hu is a cat, no one cares about its whereabouts. After I die, it will be able to leave this palace and let it go far away. But people, people can What to do, it's not as good as a little civet cat."

At this moment Mo Li came back, he took the prescription and said: "The prescription you used originally can nourish blood and nourish qi, and it is also very suitable for curing diseases, but you..."

The body is too weak to make up.

Mo Li paused for a moment, then changed his words: "I will reduce the amount of some medicines, add another auxiliary medicine, and decoct it three times a day. As long as you don't get angry and don't move around, at least your life can be extended for another half a month."

"Thank you, doctor. In this way, I can wait for the sixth brother to come back."

The prince didn't show any joy, obviously living a few more days would not be able to resolve the endless melancholy in his heart.

"Actually, the sixth brother does not have this ability. There are no good ministers in the court. The noble and virtuous people were either killed by my father, or they refused to be officials... The three former kings in the south were not enterprising and procrastinated." For enjoyment, there is still a heaven-sent king conspiring to the west... Ahem, the world will be in chaos, there is nothing to be done."

Things in the world are always like this, people who don't deserve to die will die, and people who live only to do bad things will live a long life.

Meng Qi was distracted, he was vaguely thinking of Li Yuanze's eldest son, Prince Zhaohua of the Chu Dynasty.

The untimely death of Prince Zhaohua dealt a great blow to the Chu Dynasty both inside and outside. Li Yuanze stood in front of his son's coffin, as if he had aged more than ten years.Although Emperor Chu Yuan had other sons, and there were many talented ones, those sons together could not compare with Prince Zhaohua.

Emperor Chu and Yuan's temperament changed drastically, and the massacre of heroes began.

The succeeding prince couldn't suppress the meritorious deeds of the court, and the old emperor felt suspiciously that when he died, powerful ministers like Jing Yuanhou would conspire to seize the throne.

Although Meng Qi had never been an official in the Qi Dynasty for a day, but looking at such a Qi Dynasty prince, he understood the deepest thoughts in the Qi Dynasty court, from princes and concubines to imperial physicians and maid servants.

——Why is it not the emperor who is sick, but the prince?

The prince was originally the hope in these people's hearts. Even if he wanted to kill the king, he could still plan rationally, or endure it because of timidity and incompetence, and just endure it like this, because the emperor is not young anymore, and there will always be some people who are not healthy. that day.

An old and sick emperor is like a toothless tiger. His orders are no longer effective, and the imperial guards will not continue to be loyal. The former imperial eunuch who was willing to be a lackey to bully palace officials and even low-ranking concubines will change his appearance To please the prince.

The owner of this imperial city will change hands invisibly.

Everything will happen before the emperor dies.

As long as the emperor is old, as long as those villains feel that there is nothing to gain, the opportunity will come!

"I'm afraid Lu Zhang didn't know that his crown prince was about to die. Not only did he not stimulate other sons to please him and fight for the position of the next crown prince, but it made them completely lose their minds and want to kill the king."

Meng Qi crossed his arms and took the initiative to block the cat for the doctor.

However, the civet cat ignored him, jumped onto the table next to Mo Li, and stretched out its paws to pick up the luggage.

The ink carp avoided it, but the cat chased after it.

Just such a chase, a let, before I knew it, I came to the bed.

Ink Carp: "..."

I always feel like I was chased by a cat.

Yu Lan looked at the cat, then at Mo Li, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness's cat, seems to want the doctor to treat His Highness?"

"I have medicinal herbs in my luggage. I probably smell them." Mo Li stood helplessly by the bed.

"Meow." The civet cat urged.

The prince had no choice but to say to the cat: "Ah Hu, the doctor has already checked my pulse."

The cat squatted there motionless, staring at it.

It was Meng Qi who came back to his senses first, and couldn't help but annoyed: "Yue Mo saw that he had lost his internal strength for its master, and was still longing for more."

Where is the internal force of the dragon vein? It is simply spiritual energy, and it is also the "life" energy of mountains, rivers and earth. Cats have nature and know good or bad.

"Forget it, Ah Hu, this is destiny."

The crown prince sighed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Meng Qi, "National teacher... I wonder if the national teacher has the will to rule the world?"

The author has something to say:

Prince: None of the younger brothers are promising, and there are no good ministers in the court

Prince: To the south there are the three kings of the former dynasty, to the west there is the Holy Lotus Altar, and the king of heaven is about to rebel, and there is a severe drought in Yongzhou...
