The goddess of salvation

"Is this true?"

The third prince looked at the weak woman in his arms with surprise on his face. Fu Youlan leaned softly in his arms, pale and trembling, and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he can't even tell people apart... I... …I really don’t know who else to talk to.”

As she spoke, she buried her face in the arms of the third prince, obviously flustered, and the third prince had a troubled look on his face, but he still tried his best to comfort the beauty in his arms, and said, "Don't be afraid, there is me, I will definitely Will protect you."

"En." Fu Youlan raised her tear-filled eyes to look at the third prince, full of dependence and touch, the third prince's heart moved, and he lowered his head to kiss those pink lips...

The symptoms of the emperor's physical discomfort became more and more obvious. He often fell asleep during the court, or was in a daze and did not hear the reports from his courtiers, which made many courtiers extremely worried.

This kind of thing happened not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, which is not conducive to the stability of the regime, and it will also make the people uneasy. What's worse, the barbarians in the northwest are staring at each other, and this time is simply the opponent's opportunity.

"Your Majesty, the second barbarian prince came to pay tribute with his subordinates..." The Minister of Rituals groaned in his heart, carefully looked at the dazed prince on the dragon chair above, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty... may I ask when will the barbarian envoys enter the palace to face the saint?" ?”

"Huh?" The emperor's eyes were empty, and it took a long time before he gathered on the Minister of Rites in front of him, and said slowly: "Why not just tomorrow morning."

"promise."

The minister of the Ministry of Rituals was sweating, the emperor's state, when he meets the envoys tomorrow, how can he hide it, it will be a situation where the army will overwhelm the border, what should we do.Fu Chengxiang glanced at the handkerchief on which he was wiping sweat, and felt complacent, it was just what he wanted.

The next day, the second prince Manyi entered the palace with a group of subordinates, his deep blue eyes fixed on the emperor, his burly body cast a heavy shadow, and the minister standing beside him couldn't help but take a step back.

The second prince raised the corners of his mouth, bent his waist slightly, and said in his mouth: "See Emperor Dajing." His behavior did not seem to put the emperor in his eyes, and the ministers present all held their breath, but when they saw the ignorant emperor, I can only sigh.

The second prince did not overlook the changes in their expressions. His blue eyes looked at the people on the dragon chair meaningfully. It was really interesting. If you are under pressure, you will be able to drive straight in and be invincible.

Such a large piece of fertile and beautiful land can fall into their hands, and he, who has made great contributions to it, will surely be able to grasp the real power.Thinking of this, he began to rejoice that he had snatched this job from his eldest brother. As for the news about the fourth brother that his father had ordered before he came, it would be gone if it was gone, so he would not cause trouble for himself.

The emperor dealt with the envoys in a trance, and all the courtiers could only look aggrieved at each other showing off their power in their bases. At the dinner party, the barbarian envoys all drank heavily and pulled the dancing girl into their arms unceremoniously. The civil servants held their breath in their hearts.

"Brother Henglin, I think the emperor's illness is really scary."

Xu Henglin also sighed when he heard Prime Minister Fu's words beside him.

"Isn't it? How long has it been? The imperial physician has yet to find out the cause, seeing that His Majesty's condition is getting worse."

A dark light flashed across Fu Chengxiang's eyes, he glanced at the person on the dragon chair, and said in a low voice: "Brother Henglin, if the emperor's illness can't be cured... then what should we do."

Xu Henglin was startled, he looked up at Prime Minister Fu with a serious face, wiped off his sweat, but his heart began to scratch, yes, if the emperor never recovers, is it just waiting for him to die?

"Prime Minister, is there any news about the Crown Princess?"

Seeing the other party's flustered expression, Fu Chengxiang smiled complacently in his heart, but his face was full of worry, he shook his head and said, "Oh, it's just not very good."

When Xu Henglin saw that the father-in-law had said so, his heart began to waver, and his mind began to think about what to do if the emperor could not recover, Princess Jingrou was also critically ill, and the eldest grandson of the emperor was young, leaving only the third prince.Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to the gentle and elegant third prince beside the table, and had an idea in his mind.

Seeing that his expression had settled down, Fu Chengxiang felt even more proud, and there was one more allied army.

The barbarian envoys stayed in Beijing and refused to leave for a long time, and on the northwest border, the barbarian army began to harass the surrounding villages with small teams. However, the leaders of the Northwest Army were all in Beijing at this time, and Lu Mufei was even imprisoned in the mansion.

The second barbarian prince who stayed in Beijing was even more presumptuous. At the banquet, his face was smudged, he grabbed the wine jar with one hand, and embraced the beautiful woman with the other, shouting: "I heard that the most beautiful woman in Beijing is the emperor's younger sister. Wonderful! Haha”

People who heard about this were all indignant, and they were even more frustrated with the one on the dragon chair.

Messages that the emperor couldn't hold on gradually circulated in the capital. At the same time, there were more and more voices praising the third prince's talent in governing the country. Many courtiers became discouraged when they saw that the emperor hadn't improved at all, and stood by the third prince's side. Only some courtiers who were loyal to the prince still maintained the imperial power.

"Everything is ready now, I just need to give that one to..." Fu Chengxiang looked at the obedient daughter, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his hand slipped in front of him.

Fu Youlan pondered for a moment, and thought of a good idea, she smiled and said: "Father, we might as well do it more simply, how about giving Princess Jingrou to the second prince for marriage."

Wouldn't it be better to send that disgusting woman far away, and make the people and ministers even more disappointed with the emperor, so that the third prince can ascend the throne more smoothly.

"But... the princess is still in a coma."

Fu Wenbo couldn't bear it, he actually had some other feelings for Princess Jingrou, and he couldn't bear to think of the kind of fate she was about to end up in. I don't know why my sister wanted to put her to death like this.

"I have a medicine in my hand, which can make people sober for a short period of one month, and their actions and words are no different from ordinary people." But after that, she will be a useless person. Fu Youlan didn't say these words, and waited for her father's reply with a smile.

When Fu Chengxiang thought about it, he thought of the benefits. As for Jingrou's life and death, what does it have to do with his great cause?

"Lan'er's idea is really good, she is worthy of being the daughter of my prime minister's mansion."

"Father, just wait for my good news."

Fu Youlan smiled and blessed herself, left the prime minister's mansion, and returned to the palace.

……

In the middle of the night, clean up the palace.

"Your Majesty, take a break."

Fu Xi stared at the emperor's expression. The other party had been looking at this memorial for a long time without any further action. Thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince's more and more serious illness recently, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

The door was knocked awake, and the passer-by claimed that the queen had come. The emperor was stunned for a moment, put down the bag in his hand, and waved to let her in. Fuxi felt relieved, and stepped forward to open the door to welcome Fu Youlan in.

"The villain sees the empress."

Fu Youlan had some worries on her face, and her frail body became even weaker. She stepped into the Qianqing Palace and asked, "Is the emperor in good spirits today?"

"Same as the previous few days."

Fuxi still trusts this gentle and courteous queen very much, so she naturally answers the other party's questions calmly.

Fu Youlan walked to the emperor's side, and after saluting, she approached and talked with him in a gentle voice. Looking at this scene, Fuxi felt even more reverence for the queen in her heart.

After a while, a little eunuch came in and said that Aunt Qiulian was looking for him, and Fuxi saw his little apprentice in Qianqing Palace guarding him, so he told him to go out.

After Fu Xi went out, Fu Youlan turned around and looked at the only little eunuch in the room for a moment, and smiled slightly. The little eunuch saluted her and quietly huddled in the corner.

Fu Youlan took out the imperial decree that she had already prepared, and unfolded it on the table. As long as the unique jade seal was stamped on it, and then handed over to her father, their long-planned plan would be successful.

Fu Youlan's eyes were determined to win, she looked at the godless emperor sitting on the chair and sneered, reached out and took out the jade seal from the box, and moved the heavy jade seal to the lower right corner with both hands...

As long as she puts it down like this... After she puts it down, everything she wants can come true.

Fu Youlan's entire attention was focused on the jade seal in her hand, and she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart. Suddenly, she found that her hand was tightly grasped, and she slowly moved her gaze along the hand, Facing a pair of lucky black deep eyes, the emperor's face was reflected in the wide eyes.

The jade seal in her hand left her palm and fell down. When Fu Youlan heard the dull sound, a heavy shadow was cast in Fu Youlan's heart, it's over, it's over.

The emperor stood up, his expression was no longer confused and dazed just now, his dark eyes swept across the imperial edict, he sneered, and let go of Fu Youlan's hand, Fu Youlan's legs became weak, and he fell directly to the ground, thinking It was blank, and looked at the man in front of him stupidly.

"Sending Jingrou to the barbarians for marriage is really a poisonous idea." The emperor looked at the person lying on the ground indifferently, and said, "To help your lover get to the top, I really did everything I can, no, or for you That rotten family."

Fu Youlan's heart was full of despair, she crawled to the man's feet, and begged, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the third prince asked me to do this, please forgive me."

"Someone, take her down."

The guards went in and took off the straightforward Fu Youlan, and brought down the little eunuch who had already been frightened in the corner. The emperor watched them leave coldly. It seemed that those people could not wait any longer, and it was almost time to close the net. .

That night, the barbarian army that came to sneak attack was beaten to pieces. The leader of the team was Lu Mufei who was imprisoned in the Marquis of Wei's mansion. The barbarian general severely criticized the unreliable second prince. Desperately flicking his horsewhip to avoid the cold arrow behind him, when he returns, the second prince must pay the price.

That night, Fu Chengxiang, who was calmly waiting for the good news in the mansion, was horrified to find that the prime minister's mansion was surrounded by an army. Everyone in the house was pulled out and tied to the car.

The next day, when they saw the emperor with a steady pace and a clear mind, all the ministers were taken aback. Some had tears of surprise in their eyes, and some were frightened. The prime minister did not show up.

"Everyone, I feel unwell during this period of time. It's not due to any strange disease, but some people's premeditated design." The emperor said slowly, everyone present here is a genius, and he quickly guessed it was Who, many people's eyes fell on the Third Prince.

The smile on the third prince's face could not be maintained for a long time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he cursed in his heart, look at what he is doing, and expect him to save them?Now he can't protect himself.

The emperor glanced at him lightly, as if he didn't want to get entangled in this matter on the spot, but his complexion was still very pale.

Afterwards, until the end of the early court, the emperor did not mention this matter again. Naturally, the third prince would not think that he was just let go. After the court, he walked out with a dazed expression, and the ministers who used to surround him avoided at this time Too late, Fuxi came over, and the emperor declared him an audience.

"Brother Huang, it was planned by the Fu family themselves, and has nothing to do with the younger brother!"

As soon as he entered the door, the third prince knelt down on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and said quickly, begging for his forgiveness.

"Queen, what do you think?"

The third prince raised his head in astonishment, and it was Fu Youlan who was pushed out from behind the screen. At this moment, he stared at him in disbelief, and after a while, his expression became ferocious.

The emperor coldly watched the two yelling and cursing in front of him, causing them to separate them, and finally asked, "Sir, do you want this woman or the title of prince?"

"Brother Huang, please spare my younger brother. My younger brother has nothing to do with this woman."

The emperor looked at the way the other party was kneeling in front of him, if he hadn't found out early, his end would only be worse than this.

The next day, the courtiers learned that the third prince had asked himself to guard the imperial tomb, and the empress had suddenly contracted a serious illness and died.

A minister carefully asked about Princess Jingrou's situation, and got a reply from the emperor.

"You're about to get married, so naturally you have to prepare well."
