"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Zhao Minsheng closed his eyes tightly, curled up his body as hard as he could, and flapped his hands in front of him indiscriminately, trying to drive away the lingering voices in his ears.

"Concubine Shu Gui is dead, you brat still treat yourself as a prince?"

"If you don't eat bad food, I think your skin is itchy again!"

"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of others again, I will sew your mouth shut with this embroidery needle!"

Zhao Minsheng was alone in the darkness, and the faces of the people around him rushed toward him like evil spirits, and the embroidery needle in the maid's hand shone coldly in the darkness.

Zhao Minsheng waved his arms clearly, trying to drive them away, but suddenly someone grabbed his hands and forced him to wake up from his dream.

"Pity!"

Xie Yuan stuck close to the man and called him several times but there was no response. Seeing that the man was sinking deeper and deeper into the nightmare, he had no choice but to stretch out his hand rashly and grabbed the man's wrist.

Zhao Minsheng slightly opened his eyes from sleep, accompanied by the faint candlelight in the room, just saw the face of the person in front of him, sat up suddenly from the bed, and hugged the person in his arms.

"Don't talk, just let me hug you for a while, and it will be fine in a while."

Zhao Minsheng's emotions have not yet recovered from the dream, Xie Yuan is surrounded by people in his arms, feeling the beatings in the person's chest one after another, after several hesitation, he still stretched out his hand and caressed on the top of the person's head twice.

"Your Highness's forehead is a little hot. The servant ordered the doctor in the mansion to boil a bowl of soup and medicine. Drink it before going to sleep."

As soon as he came back just now, Xie Yuan felt that something was wrong with Zhao Minsheng, and after he checked his forehead again, he realized that he had a fever.

Zhao Minsheng listened to the man's words, and then slowly let go of the hands that were holding him tightly, and gradually turned his eyes to the bowl of soup in Xie Yuan's hand.

The medicine bowl was held in front of Zhao Minsheng's eyes for a long time, but no one made any further movements. Seeing his bewildered expression, Xie Yuan couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, so he could only tentatively ask someone.

"Why doesn't Your Highness take medicine?"

"The medicine is too bitter, will there be sugar after taking it?"

When the conversation between the two reached this point, Xie Yuan suddenly remembered that he forgot to prepare candy for others. Usually, the Xie Mansion rarely prepares such sweets and snacks. If you want to find...

As Xie Yuan thought about it, he couldn't help but glanced at his study room. There was a secret room in that study room, where everything related to Zhao Minsheng was stored, as well as his humble love for people.

The only candy in Xie's mansion was there, it was given to Xie Yuan by Zhao Minsheng on his birthday a while ago.

Xie Yuan has always been reluctant to eat, so he secretly hid in the secret room. If he wants to find it now, he still needs to open the secret room, which is too risky.

Just when Xie Yuan was thinking about it, hesitating whether to go to the kitchen to get someone a piece of rock candy to make do with it, Zhao Minsheng who had been staring at him suddenly opened his mouth to speak.

"If the Dugong can't get out the sugar, there is another way to get me to drink the medicine obediently."

Looking at his current dilemma, Zhao Minsheng knew that he must not be able to produce candy, so he simply talked about this point and acted like a spoiled brat.

Xie Yuan was in a dilemma right now, on the one hand, he felt that it would be too risky to rush to open the secret room when Zhao Minsheng was in the mansion, on the other hand, he felt that it was too decent to randomly pick out a piece of rock candy from the kitchen.

At this moment, someone suggested a compromise for him, and he agreed without thinking about it.

"What method? As long as the slave can do it, he must do his best."

As soon as Xie Yuan said this, Zhao Minsheng laughed while sitting on the bed. Thinking of what he was going to say next, he pointed to his slightly opened mouth shyly and said something.

"The Duke, feed me."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, holding the medicine bowl in his hand, he didn't move for a long time.

"Hurry up, the medicine will be cold in a while, and it will be more bitter when it is cold."

As Zhao Minsheng spoke, he raised his chin towards the medicine bowl in Xie Yuan's hand, and his attitude of taking medicine took a 180-degree turn in an instant.

Xie Yuan looked at him like that, if he didn't really know how much Zhao Minsheng was afraid of suffering, he might feel that his previous behavior was deliberately pretending to deceive him.

"Yes."

As Xie Yuan said, he took out another spoon from the tray beside him, scooped up a spoon in the pitch-black concoction, handed it over, and delivered it to Zhao Minsheng's mouth.

But after a while, the decoction in this bowl has already bottomed out, Zhao Minsheng who usually refuses to eat even tortoise jelly, now has Xie Yuan to feed him, he can actually taste the sweetness of this bitter medicine.

After feeding the decoction, Zhao Minsheng's forehead was still slightly hot, Xie Yuan pushed him back into the bed, raised his hand and blew out the candle beside the bed.

The moonlight outside the house reflected into the house through the window paper, Zhao Minsheng turned his head, and under the hazy moonlight, he glanced at Xie Yuan lying beside his pillow, and closed his eyes in peace of mind.

The white smoke left after the candle was blown out drifted far in this warm room, and then gradually dissipated.

It wasn't until the next morning that the fire in Duke Huai's mansion was reported to the palace.

And the person who set the fire had already confessed everything after this night of interrogation, and King Ling's crime of arson was basically confirmed.

The queen heard the news from the spies early in the morning, but she was barely overwhelmed by this rebellious son. She was imprisoned in that Buddhist hall for ten days just now, and now she thought that people would calm down for at least a while when she came out.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, he poked out such a big basket again, and the queen was so angry that she sent people to Ling Wang's mansion before dawn, and quickly arrested him in the palace.

I wanted to figure out the ins and outs of the matter this morning, and then work on it for others, but who would have imagined that the King of Ling was not in a hurry at this time, sitting in the queen's palace, drinking tea and eating melons and fruits , there is simply no one more leisurely than him in the whole palace.

"Duke Huai's mansion was burned all night yesterday, and you still have the heart to drink tea here? You know that the person who set the fire has been tortured all night, and what should be said and what should not be said, I'm afraid everything has already been said, why do you just say so?" I don't know how to worry!"

When the queen said this, she was so angry that she slapped the table hard, frightening the maids and eunuchs around her, all trembling with their hearts, fearing that what the two of them said would be unsatisfactory, so she sent this evil fire to herself body.

But Zhao Zhan was sitting on the chair, still looking cynical, holding a fragrant pear in his hand, with Erlang's legs on his feet, and he didn't take the burning of Zhao Minsheng's mansion as a serious matter at all.

Even seeing the Queen's anxious and angry look, he still felt that people were making a fuss over a molehill.

"There's nothing to be anxious about. Didn't you often put this and that in Zhao Zhi's diet before? Besides, it's not like I haven't done this kind of thing before. As for the assassins in my mansion, go to Tao Yunyuan has been wandering around for several times, which time did he catch the shadow?"

As King Ling spoke, he leaned back, picked up the fragrant pear, and quickly gnawed it around. Before he finished swallowing the pear, he heard him continue talking.

"Empress mother, don't worry, the group of guards in his mansion, even if doubled, will definitely not be able to catch my people. At this time, he must have deliberately released this news to disturb the audience."

The queen was already extremely angry, but now that she saw Zhao Zhan like this, she couldn't help feeling anxious for a while.

Seeing that she almost didn't think about it, she picked up the censer at hand and threw it straight at the person. The incense ash that was still burning in the censer scattered in the air and landed on the soft carpet in the palace. Several holes were burned out in the blanket embroidered with gold silk.

Zhao Zhan was so frightened by the queen that he jumped up from his chair in an instant, and stood aside and looked at her with disbelief in his eyes.

"How could I have such a stupid son like you!"

The queen was shaken by his anger, and barely held onto the table at hand so as not to fall down, but even so, it couldn't stop her heart that wanted to curse.

The disaster has already reached such a great extent, yet he still doesn't realize it at all. It seems that it's time to go to court. If things go on like this, wouldn't he be powerless...

The queen looked at King Ling in front of her, and fell heavily into the chair behind her, feeling dizzy in front of her eyes.

As the sun gradually rises, the ministers are gradually inferior to those in the palace, and the time to go to court has finally arrived. After the empress's scolding just now, King Ling finally understood the seriousness of this matter. From the moment they knew about this matter, for King Mausoleum, it was already a point of no return.

After Wei Yan arrived last night, one of the reasons why Zhao Minsheng chose not to return to the palace so resolutely was to block the news.

In this treacherous court, just one night's time difference is enough to change a lot.

The ministers who came to the court today, before going out, more or less heard a little bit of trouble. When the matter of King Mausoleum happened, it can be said that several families were happy and some were sad. The complexion is very unique.

As the so-called 30 years in Hexi, 30 years in Hedong, those people who were frowning when the accident happened between King Cheng and Zhang's family, in today's court, it can be said that they all returned at once, all of them straightened their waists, and their faces were full of red. , It means that people are refreshed on happy occasions.

On the other hand, those who have always been on the side of King Ling, they really have their own worries.

Of course, most of them are not worried about King Ling, but themselves. This time, Zhao Minsheng's counterattack was too fast and too hard. Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, anyone with a discerning eye can see that once the matter is over , King Ling has little chance of standing up.

At this time, it is the right way to choose another master as soon as possible.

Standing below, Zhao Minsheng watched the ministers behind him harbor their own ulterior motives, but remained calm on the face. The emperor has not yet made a conclusion about the whole matter. As long as the emperor has not spoken, then Zhao Minsheng will The battle is not over yet.
