Su Yan's life during this period is hard to explain, but it has always been very relaxed. She no longer has to think about the matter of the crown prince and the fifth prince taking over the heir apparent, and she doesn't have to think too much about how to protect herself wisely, but also how to give the prime minister After all this was let go, Su Yanhui felt that the heavy burden that had been pressing on her body had been unloaded.

Although I don't know what's going on in the court, but Su Yan's return here is uncharacteristically lively. He used to be trying to please others, but now people often come to him to please him. At first I didn't understand, but after Xue Hanlan's point, I realized that I was famous as the close minister of the Fifth Prince.

Su Yan was stunned for a long time, near minister?who?Without his status as the prince's companion, isn't he just a commoner?

Although Su Yanhui lived in Sima Gong's mansion, he hadn't seen that old official much. The Seventh Prince got excited when he found out where Su Yanhui was through the Fifth Prince. All kinds of tiger and wolf words made Xue Hanlan, who was extremely simple in emotional matters, become angry from embarrassment, and when he finally saw that person coming, he wished he had no choice but to take a broom and beat him out.

Su Yan didn't see anyone in the prime minister's mansion when she came back. She thought that she would fade out from the stage and be happy, but she couldn't help but inquire about the prince's situation. The prince didn't spread any bad rumors. He was as usual Sit firmly in that position without any wavering.

"If you are really worried, I can help you meet the prince." Xue Hanlan poured Su Yan back a cup of tea.

"It's good not to meet now, and I don't have the face to see him again." Su Yanhui is very clear that she can't do anything now, the only thing she can do is wait, "I am not able to participate in it A person who can never be called a variable, and now I can just stay here and wait honestly."

In history, the alternation of power will inevitably be accompanied by death. Compared with the original book, the fifth prince is already very benevolent. He gave up the brutal rule of stepping on death in the book, and he has changed a lot.

"What if the hesitation at this time will cause regret in the future?" Xue Hanlan looked at Su Yanhui, lowering his eyes slightly, "There will always be various regrets in life, and all these regrets will no longer exist when they reach death. Any sense, but I regretted a lot of things when I was about to die, even when I was just a kid."

"After living for so long, I always thought I was just a child." Su Yanhui sighed, "That's why I have never been able to understand your thoughts."

Su Yanhui has always felt that he has integrated into this era very well, but in fact, he just found his neutral point in this era. He does not have enough strategies and rights, and even secretly saved it. Money is only for preparation later, he will never be able to gamble everything on the throne like the prince.

"You said, is he also afraid? Because he is too scared, he will try his best to restrain himself. If he can't restrain himself, what will the prince be like?" Su Yan couldn't imagine what the prince would do if he lost his restraint. What is the exposed nature, maybe the prince already has that nature.

"You can test him yourself."

"No." Su Yanhui narrowed her eyes, "I'm not qualified."

He can no longer worry about the prince. Now all his worries are just to satisfy his hypocrisy. This feeling should not be imposed on the prince who has worked too hard. It is too unfair to him.

"If you decide so, that's fine."

Xue Hanlan didn't try to dissuade her anymore, and Su Yanhui smiled faintly: "Thank you Hanlan, in fact, you are really a very good person."

Xue Hanlan smiled lightly, Su Yanhui couldn't help staring at the amazing beauty of that overly glamorous face under the gentle smile, thinking carefully about the future entanglement between this person and He Fengtian, Su Yanhui I still like the fifth prince more.

"Hanlan, have you thought about the future?"

"kindness?"

"What will you be like in the future, how will you be?"

"No." Xue Hanlan shook his head, "I never look at the future, it is very difficult to live in the present."

Su Yan didn't understand. In his opinion, as Sima Gong's most beloved adopted son, if he could rise up in such a chaotic situation, then even if the fifth prince or the crown prince ascended to the emperor in the future, it would be beneficial to him. , the court is a place of filth, but this filth also needs to be restrained by incorruptibility. Now the young Xue Hanlan is the best candidate, no matter who the smart fifth prince and prince are, they will not let this important minister go.

No wonder Sima Gong liked him so much.

Su Yan sighed back. Although she said so, she had never gotten to know Xue Hanlan well. Xue Hanlan had a gentle temperament. Take the initiative, remember that He Fengtian also took the initiative to pursue at that time, Xue Hanlan's emotional expression is always extremely cryptic, this ambiguity basically means that it is impossible for him to take the initiative to have a good relationship with the king.

Thinking about the personality of the Fifth Prince, the Fifth Prince himself is not an active person, he is better at planning layouts, under all the layouts, he must be sure to act, before he is uncertain, he will never do anything unless it is necessary Too much waste of self, this can be seen in the book that he only loves Jiangshan and even rejects He Fengtian's pursuit.

These two people are obviously equally good, but because of their personalities, they can't spark each other on their own initiative.

"Xue Hanlan, you are actually very good." Su Yanhui admired sincerely, "You can't imagine how good you are, but I know, so in the future you will definitely get the person who loves you wholeheartedly. Only one pair for the rest of my life is worthy of you."

Xue Hanlan's pupils shone with light, and her red lips were too gorgeous. When the corners of her lips were raised slightly, it looked like a rose-like kiss, exuding a faint luster: "Although I know that my benefactor has no intentions in the court, but I didn't expect you to value feelings."

"Feelings are very important!" Su Yanhui said immediately, "After all, people in this world can't live alone, and they always want to have someone who is exclusive to you and won't leave you to accompany them, right? Hanlan, you are so good and good-looking, you basically meet all the conditions for choosing a mate, you can't imagine how good you are in the relationship!"

"But if everything is just based on conditions, wouldn't the relationship between people deteriorate because of it?"

"Why?" Su Yan tilted her head back, "All these external conditions are the first step for others to be able to communicate with you? After all, even animals will choose partners with better conditions. This is instinct, presumably. Even if you treat everything equally, you wouldn't think about partnering with a beggar, an adult male with able-bodied hands and feet, would you?"

Xue Hanlan was slightly taken aback: "What my benefactor said is very true. I am too rigid about trivial matters."

"Nature is like this. If you are not excellent, you will become excellent. If you are good enough to attract the person you want, show the best of everything. For yourself and for others, people are always struggling in losing and gaining. Only by repeating can we face our heart squarely.”

"Benefactor, have you looked at your heart?"

Su Yanhui was stunned by the question, even though he was still talking at length just now, and finally he just pursed his lips slightly: "It's because I haven't faced it squarely, that's why I'm struggling."

Xue Hanlan fell into deep thought after leaving Su Yanhui. The fifth prince has been chasing fame and fortune, but in the eyes of the fifth prince, it seems that everything is just passing by. He can't understand why people who don't stick to power He is so obsessed with scheming, but now he has a glimpse of it.

All the patience of the fifth prince is actually a plan?Su Yanhui was blinded by his feelings for the prince. He cared about the position of the monarch and his ministers, and completely killed the feelings that should have developed beautifully in his heart. The fifth prince grasped this gap. Attempt to take advantage of it.

For the prince, everything is a matter of course, and this reason includes Su Yanhui. He has been confined in the palace and has no freedom. He is doomed to be unable to respond to Su Yanhui's desire, but the fifth prince is different. .

The prince had no choice but to cherish everything he had. When he found out that everything he should have was being robbed, he belatedly wanted to fight for it, but it was too late. Now Su Yanhui has gone to the fifth prince. around.

Because I have never owned it, I want to plunder it unscrupulously.

Because I once had it, I forgot how to cherish it.

The war between these two people has been divided into winners and losers from the beginning, but the only variable is now lost in confusion.

Su Yanhui always thought that she would fade out of the stage now, but she never thought that she would still have the chance to appear on the stage. Now it is spreading everywhere that the seventh prince actually likes the third son of the prime minister's mansion, but because the third son of the prime minister's mansion At this time, because he no longer followed the prince and went to Sima Gong's place, the seventh prince took the trouble to run to Sima Gong's mansion.

Logically speaking, it should be like this. More people think more deeply. Sima Gong has always maintained neutrality. His name is deliberately contacting Sima Gong.

At such a time of crisis, no one wants to believe that the fact is that the pursuit is so simple. Although the Seventh Prince is too unrestrained, anyone with a heart can see the abnormality in it. After all... no matter how exaggerated he is, the emperor has nothing to do punishment.

Is the emperor already terminally ill?Or did the emperor intentionally let the seventh prince create momentum for the fifth prince?

Although the prince is not wrong, mediocrity is a thing of the past. At this sensitive time, the first thing everyone thinks of is always to protect themselves. Such a simple wait and see has become an opportunity for the fifth prince to strengthen his strength again. The fifth prince is now Occupying the right time, place and people, he was only short of counterattacking in one fell swoop.

But Su Yanhui, who originally thought he would not be involved, was summoned by the emperor.

When Su Yanhui found out that the emperor had summoned him, she panicked. It felt extremely disturbing as if she had received a summons from the Supreme Court even though she had done nothing.

"I... did I do something wrong?" Su Yanhui was dumbfounded, holding the imperial decree at a loss.

He obviously stayed here very honestly and never went out at all. Xue Hanlan on the side also frowned, thinking seriously, Su Yanhui and the old emperor had absolutely no relationship in any sense. The only time he met the old emperor was It was because the old emperor came to study on a sudden whim when he was studying with the prince.

Su Yanhui was uneasy, but the imperial decree was not sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but was sent directly to Su Yanhui who was in Sima Gong's mansion. The old emperor obviously knew what was going on.

He couldn't help biting his fingers anxiously, and a strange sense of crisis spread throughout his body, as if the premonition of what was about to happen made him restless.

"Your Majesty summoned me. I'm just a grassroots citizen. I have to obey." Su Yan looked back at the imperial decree in his hand. Once the imperial decree is issued, if he does not obey it, he will be disrespectful, and not only the prime minister's family but even Sima Gong will be implicated.

"Don't worry, I'll set off immediately to meet the fifth prince." Xue Hanlan was extremely puzzled that Su Yanhui had received such a summons. Su Yanhui had nothing important to be summoned by the emperor, which was really unbelievable. "Since the time has not been agreed upon, I will first go and find out what the Fifth Prince has said. You... If you can just go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see if there is any reason."

"Maybe it's not a very important matter." Su Yan held the imperial decree in her hand, "I'm just a grassroots person, and I don't have any meaning to be summoned. Since His Majesty wants to see you, I will go see you. I can't delay. This will harm you, Han Lan."

Su Yanhui didn't know what the old emperor was thinking, but he definitely didn't have any threats. The old emperor must also know that Su Yanhui didn't have court clothes at all, so he could only borrow Xue Hanlan's clothes, and hurried to the palace immediately .

Su Yan sat back on the carriage and her heart was pounding. What happened to the terminally ill old emperor who wanted to find him?Maybe before going in, you can get some information from Bai Fusheng.

The carriage stopped, Su Yanhui just got off the carriage but saw an unexpected person waiting at the gate of the city, Su Yanhui's heart skipped a beat when he saw that person: "Caomin has seen His Highness the Fifth Prince."

"Go back." The fifth prince directly took Su Yanhui's hand, "Don't go in, go back now."

"Your Highness..." Su Yanhui raised her head. The other party's expression was condensed, and she was dressed plainly. He should have come out in a hurry. He didn't know how long he had stood in this icy cold wind. Su Yanhui could already feel it. Seeing that he was holding his hands and passing through the cold temperature coming from his clothes, as a martial arts practitioner, he obviously shouldn't have such a low body temperature, maybe the Fifth Prince's mood will not be any better than him now.

"It's nothing to do with you. Since you have left the prime minister's mansion, you don't need to get involved in the affairs of the palace." The fifth prince simply held Su Yanhui's hand and directly brought Su Yanhui to the carriage that hadn't left yet. He wanted to push Su Yan back again.

It was the first time for Su Yanhui to see the fifth prince being so tough, and she unconsciously felt a little weird in her heart. They didn't know why the old emperor made such a fuss, but when Su Yanhui saw that the seventh prince was in a hurry When he came out of the palace on horseback, he was even more surprised.

"Fifth brother!" The seventh prince looked down at the fifth prince who was under the horse, "What nonsense are you talking about with him, just stuff it and take it back, no, you can't take it back, send him out of the capital, Su Yan will return to your last Be good, today you want to enter the palace, but there is no door!"

Su Yanhui only felt that his scalp was numb, but he couldn't follow the Seventh Prince. However, the Seventh Prince didn't care about Su Yanhui's struggle and directly pulled Su Yanhui's hand back into the carriage, and rode on the horse to pull the carriage. The horses are about to leave.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, Your Highness the Seventh Prince, Your Majesty has an order, and the grassroots dare not disobey. I hope His Highness can understand the plight of the grassroots. The grassroots really cannot resist the order and disrespect. This is a serious crime." Su Yan was anxious in her heart. The two people As it is now, no one knows how many pairs of eyes are watching around. If you obey them now, it means that you have committed the same crime as these two people. No one can guarantee that the old emperor used this to provoke five people With the prestige of the prince, Su Yanhui would never do such a stupid thing.

"What do we want to do, can you control it?" But he heard the seventh prince sneer, "He is the emperor, but we are still princes? Are two of us princes no better than one emperor?"

Su Yanhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This... His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, this doesn't mean that one plus one equals two..."

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, Su Yanhui heard the prime minister's deep baritone voice, and couldn't help raising her head, finally saw his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time after a long time.

"Father."

Seeing Su Yanhui and the two princes entangled at the door, the prime minister frowned, obviously very unhappy, his eyes swept across Su Yanhui at the side, and finally knelt down directly on the ground: "Five His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Seventh Prince, Ni Zi received His Majesty's summons and is rushing to the palace, I wonder why the two Highnesses stopped you again?"

Su Yan thumped in her heart, and couldn't help but wonder if the incident this time had something to do with her father.

"Prime Minister..." The Fifth Prince frowned slightly, but he didn't directly embarrass the Prime Minister.

Even though he is already an old minister, yet he kneels down to him at the gate of the palace where there are many people around him. This kind of respect can be seen by the people around him. Su Yanhui knows that this is also the method used by the prime minister to force the two princes Don't get too involved.

Su Yan thought about it, sighed, jumped out of the carriage, and knelt down beside the prime minister, the meaning was very clear, he wanted to see the old emperor no matter what, no matter what happened Whatever happened, if it was only on behalf of Su Yan, then he could face it bravely.

The fifth prince lowered his eyes and looked at Su Yanhui. Su Yanhui also clearly felt that the fifth prince's gaze was always on him. However, Su Yanhui did not intend to give in at all, and his firmness was self-evident.

"Fifth brother, don't..." The seventh prince's words were interrupted by the fifth prince. Su Yanhui saw the fifth prince walking in front of her, and suddenly snowflakes fell in the sky. This year's first snow fell at this moment , Su Yan looked back at the snowflakes falling at her feet, and for some reason felt that after such a snowfall under such a scene, she would definitely have a deep memory.

"I see." The fifth prince leaned into Su Yanhui's ear and whispered something softly. Su Yanhui's eyes widened, and in the end he just gave him a complicated look, and finally nodded.

Su Yan entered the palace without turning her head to look at the people behind her.

The prime minister watched Su Yanhui enter the palace, and couldn't help turning his head, wanting to get a hint from his father, but Su Yanhui was disappointed, the prime minister didn't even enter the palace, he came here just to let him enter smoothly. It's just a palace, maybe my father knows that someone will come to stop him.

Su Yanhui failed to see Bai Fusheng, but was led into the hall by Eunuch Yuan. Su Yanhui looked up at him, and finally couldn't help but pursed her lips. The main reason was that the air in the air was too unpleasant. There is a big difference between the fresh and fresh snow. This smell makes Su Yanhui a little uncomfortable.

The old emperor was lying on the bed at this time, surrounded by layers of yellow veils. The lifelike golden dragon carved on the dragon bed in the bedroom was facing the surroundings. It must be a formation that can dispel evil spirits at will, but at this time However, the air inside was extremely turbid, and there was the smell of traditional Chinese medicine and the sour smell of being in bed for a long time. Su Yanhui could hardly breathe in such an environment. He was in pain, but he didn't know what to do. He knelt before the emperor's dragon bed, waiting for the emperor's inquiry.

But after a long time, Su Yanhui was almost lying on the ground, her legs were already numb, but she never got any response from the old emperor. She couldn't help but look up at Eunuch Yuan next to her, hoping I could get a hint, but Eunuch Yuan also frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite understand why the emperor kept silent all this time.

Eunuch Yuan couldn't help but stepped forward to lift the curtain of the bed, and looked down into it: "Your Majesty, the third son has arrived."

But the old emperor didn't respond. Su Yan was uneasy, and Eunuch Yuan's expression was also unclear. The old emperor lay there quietly without saying a word, and there was a strange cold feeling from kneeling on the ground. His legs continued to spread to his whole body, and his hands and feet were cold and painful. Su Yanhui couldn't restrain himself at all, and began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Everyone... get back." Finally, when the old emperor spoke, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, and they finally broke free from this oppressive environment, but at this moment, they ran from outside the door. A little eunuch, the little eunuch said something to Eunuch Yuan, Eunuch Yuan nodded, and approached the bed curtain again.

"Your Majesty, the prince seeks an audience."

After another long wait, Su Yan laid his head on the ground. Although the brazier warmed the air, the thick charcoal smoke made it difficult for him to breathe and was very uncomfortable. He didn't dare to raise his head without an order.

"Heh." The old emperor smiled coldly, Su Yanhui couldn't help frowning, the old emperor's rough voice seemed to pass through the entire eerie hall, and cast a layer of eerie in the quiet air. The color of the voice, the voice is very tired, the old emperor's illness tortured him, and also consumed his physical strength, even so, this faint smile made Su Yanhui feel the ridicule from the old emperor .

Su Yanhui looked confused, but when he heard that the prince was actually begging to see him outside, his mood was too complicated. He couldn't imagine what happened to make the old emperor run away even when he was in such pain. Let's mock him.

"Slave resigns." However, Eunuch Yuan, who had been with the old emperor for a long time, seemed to understand what the old emperor meant, and led the people around him down. Su Yan knew that the prince's request for an audience was not allowed.

Su Yan looked back and tried to see if he could see the prince from here, but he couldn't find the direction of the prince.

"...Su Yanhui..." The old emperor found it very difficult to speak, he seemed to be very uncomfortable, and just a few words had completely broken his breath.

"Your Majesty..." Su Yanhui replied again.

"How long have you been with the prince..." The old emperor probably hasn't spoken properly for a long time, and the voices are not very clear. Only by listening carefully can he barely understand the meaning. Su Yanhui is already gone. I remember when was the last time the old emperor went to court, even though he could barely speak clearly, but he was unwilling to delegate power, it was impossible for Su Yanhui not to complain about the old emperor.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have been with the crown prince for over ten years." Since he was a child.

"You know, I once killed the companion of the prince."

The old emperor's hoarse voice, Su Yanhui tried hard to distinguish, and after trying to distinguish, he understood what the other party was talking about, and instantly broke out in cold sweat. What does it mean? Could it be that he did something that made the old emperor unhappy?

"Caomin has never done anything to affect His Highness the Crown Prince. Caomin's qualifications are dull, and he really can't influence anyone. Caomin himself has too little education. Although he is the third son of the prime minister, he failed to inherit the mantle of the prime minister. Caomin will never let himself His ignorance will affect His Highness the Crown Prince!" Su Yan became terrified, and at this time, she specifically mentioned the companion who was killed, wasn't this implying him?

However, the old emperor did not answer quickly. In the silent space, only the sound of the emperor's panting echoed continuously. Su Yanhui heard his painful breathing, and couldn't help swallowing, her heart was beating extremely fast. The old emperor sounded as if he was about to die. Could it be that he wanted to drag himself to die with him?But if you want to choose a burial object, you won't be able to bury him, a third son who has no position?

"Su Yanhui..." The old emperor finally caught his breath, "You have been with the fifth prince...how long..."
