The emperor dealt with political affairs for a while, and only went back to the Qilin Hall to see the eldest prince in the evening.

The First Prince has his own team to serve him, so even if he moved to the Qilin Hall, there would be no fuss.

When the emperor went to see him, he was drinking medicine.

The eldest prince is not a particularly clever child at first glance, because he is already nine months old, and there is no spiritual look in his eyes.

There are two large basins of icebergs in the room, which is cool.

After all, the eldest prince is still young, and the medicine is too bitter, so he doesn't want to drink it.

The emperor sat next to him and watched the nanny and maids tirelessly teasing him to open his mouth to drink the medicine, but the eldest prince showed perseverance and cleverness in this, and he was unwilling to open his mouth.

After watching it for a while, the emperor felt impatient, walked up to the nanny who was holding the baby, and said to the eldest prince, "Don't drink medicine, drink honey water."

Because the emperor said so, a maid next to him really went to adjust the cold honey water.

The maid came with the honey water. The eldest prince glanced at the honey water in the nurse's arms, and finally opened his mouth willingly. He had oral ulcers in his mouth. Even drinking the honey water still hurts, but he He just opened his mouth, and when the court lady was half kneeling to feed him honey water, the emperor suddenly scooped up a spoonful of medicine from the medicine bowl in the hand of the palace lady holding the medicine and fed it to him. into the mouth of the First Prince.

The eldest prince didn't want to drink the medicine, but he still took the medicine. After being force-fed by the emperor, he pouted and wanted to cry, but the emperor glared at him angrily, and said, "Dare to cry!"

He really didn't dare to cry, but the look on his face that was about to cry or not was even more pitiful.

The nanny and the maids in the court all had expressions of astonishment on their faces, and immediately restrained their expressions. The emperor personally brought the medicine bowl and fed it all to the eldest prince. To apply the wound on the eldest prince's mouth, it was very difficult for the nanny and the maids to do it before, because whenever the medicine was applied to him, the eldest prince would cry and fuss, as if he would die again after crying and fussing, so No one dared to torment him.

The emperor was different, he squeezed the eldest prince's mouth desperately with his left hand, took a cotton swab with his right hand and dipped it in the medicine powder, and applied the medicine on him very responsibly.

Because his mouth was pinched, the eldest prince couldn't even cry, so he could only look at the emperor accusingly.

After the emperor finished handling these matters, he scolded the palace and said, "He is the eldest prince, but before that, he was even a sick person. If you don't fulfill your responsibilities, you don't have to serve him."

The palace people knelt down tremblingly to plead guilty, but the emperor ignored them, and then went to have dinner.

The eldest prince's oral ulcers improved on the second day, but no news spread. Concubine Xu and Xu Guiren both asked to come and see the eldest prince, but the emperor refused.

Two days later in the evening, Imperial Physician Weng came to the Qilin Palace. The emperor glanced at the eldest prince who was held in Liu Sheng's arms. There is really a dragon in the middle, which can deter ghosts and gods. The eldest prince has always been sick and dying. After staying in the Qilin Temple, his condition has improved very quickly this time, and even his face has been flushed because of anger. The trend is going to turn white.

There were only the emperor, Imperial Physician Weng, and Liu Sheng who was holding the Eldest Prince in the room. The Eldest Prince fell asleep, Imperial Physician Weng took out a prepared medicine and dropped it into a spoon, poured some honey water into it, and then Liu Sheng gently pinched the eldest prince's mouth, and Imperial Physician Weng fed the medicine to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince drank something sweet and licked his lips in his sleep. Doctor Weng felt a little sad. After all, he was sympathetic. Then he put away his thoughts, thinking that the eldest prince would stay in the palace. It's hard to live in a land of right and wrong, so it's better to have this ending, which is good for everyone.

The eldest prince fell into a deep sleep and was given medicine again. He would not wake up for a short time. The emperor took a last look at the eldest prince. Liu Sheng guessed the emperor's heart and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, would you like to hug him for a while?" Hug?"

The emperor froze for a moment, then quickly waved his hands, "No need."

He himself knows his technique of holding a child, every time he holds him he must cry.

Liu Sheng also took another look at the Eldest Prince, and handed it to Imperial Physician Weng. After taking over the Eldest Prince, Imperial Physician Weng held the child and saluted the emperor. salute.

The emperor didn't care whether it was the grace of not killing, or the ritual of severing the relationship between father and son. He just said, "Find a good family."

Doctor Weng agreed, and put the eldest prince into the lower layer of the big consultation box. The eldest prince has not grown much even after nine months, so he can fit in the lower layer of the consultation box.

Imperial Physician Weng left the Qilin Palace in a hurry to send the eldest prince to the family he had already found. After leaving the palace, he looked back at the towering palace city and thought, this child has no life as a prince.

All of this is just to make way for the unborn fetus that may be a boy.

The next day, the news of the eldest prince's death spread from the Qilin Hall, and all the palace staff who took care of the eldest prince, except the nanny, were implicated and punished.

The eldest prince only got his own name after his death. The emperor personally gave him the name Yang Fengxi. As is the custom in this dynasty, princes and daughters who have not been honored with jade butterflies do not need to be buried in the imperial tomb. Most of them are burned to death. The ashes were scattered, the emperor treated the eldest prince well, and ordered the child to be burned, but the ashes were buried next to Concubine Xu's mausoleum in the mausoleum of the concubine.

The emperor didn't intend to use the ashes of another child to disgust Concubine Xu, so the urn contained some clothes and toys of the eldest prince.

As soon as the news of the eldest prince's death came out, Concubine Xu and Xu Guiren cried out, while Concubine Ji Xian was imprisoned in Duanyang Palace and didn't know the news for a while.

And this news was outside the palace, and someone knew it on the same day.

Xu Zhen has already gone to Guangzhou. Lao Ping Guogong did not live in the capital because his health was getting worse and worse. Instead, he recuperated in the West Mountain Villa.

Upon receiving the news that the First Prince had died, Xu Xuan and his wife did not react in any way.

Because the Xu family has no intention to quarrel with Ji's mansion now, Xu Xuan has completely taken into account the emperor's doting on Ji Heng, knowing that even if the emperor disposes of Ji's mansion, it will be limited. At this time, the Xu family is already powerful. There is no need to rely on this matter to suppress the Ji family, as this will arouse the emperor's disgust.

Besides, the eldest prince has actually been adopted by Concubine Ji Xian. Even though he was born to his own sister Concubine Xu, he can only be regarded as Concubine Ji Xian's son.

Although the Xu family intended to fight for the Eldest Prince to be raised by Xu Guiren, but since they failed to do so, and the Eldest Prince was gone, the Xu Family did not have to make futile fuss over a prince who was gone.

But the ministers in the court kept sighing.

Then he wondered what the emperor would do with Ji's family, which was still surrounded.

The eldest prince is gone, and the ministers who were still thinking about making the eldest prince famous, or the ministers who proposed to establish a crown prince, can put away their thoughts and rest.

Because the eldest prince was gone, in order to express his condolences, the emperor miraculously asked to do worship at the Taimiao, and he himself wrote the prayer.

The Ji Mansion was surrounded and imprisoned by the imperial army, so it took a few days to know the news of the eldest prince's death, because no one dared to pass the news to the Ji Mansion.

Xu Qilang was going to leave Beijing in the past few days, but because of the matter of Concubine Xian and the First Prince, he had to postpone his departure.

He tried various ways to enter Ji's mansion to see Ji Heng and understand the situation inside. Naturally, it was impossible to go through the main entrance, and he was rejected if he wanted to go through the side door. After a few days, a tunnel was dug to go to Jifu.

There is no garden in Ji's mansion. Based on Xu Qilang's familiarity with Ji's mansion, this tunnel was directly dug into a side room in the front yard and study yard where he and Ji Heng studied. Will come and check.

When Xu Qilang took advantage of the night to sneak into the main courtyard of Ji Mansion and into Ji Heng's room, Ji Heng was reading and learning by candlelight, Xu Qilang walked up to him, the light on his book was affected, He raised his head and saw Xu Qilang, Xu Qilang had sweat on his forehead and a worried face, while Ji Heng was taken aback, lowered his voice and said in surprise, "You shouldn't be going to Guangzhou, why are you here?"

Xu Qilang stepped forward and was about to hug Ji Heng, Ji Heng quickly pushed him, "Hot, hot, get out of the way, why are you crazy? Tell me how you came in, if the emperor finds out, our two families will die." All guilty."

Xu Qilang looked worried and wanted to fight, and said, "I'm worried about you and your family. Why do I still have the intention to go to Guangzhou? My father and mother left early. You know, only me and my family are left in the Xu family. Eleventh Sister, and the other two younger sisters, Eleventh Sister doesn’t know how to help you, of course I’m going to stay, at least I can only leave if you are all right.”

Ji Heng frowned and said, "How can you help? Besides, you haven't said how you got here."

Xu Qilang said, "Why can't I be of much help? The Xu family also has some contacts in the imperial court. Besides, I also have some friends, and I know some of your friends. In any case, it is necessary to reduce your guilt. Daddy The prince has passed away, the emperor is sad, but also..."

Ji Heng was taken aback when he heard this, "Did the eldest prince die?"

Xu Qilang was surprised instead, "Don't you guys know?"

Ji Heng nodded, "There is no way to communicate with outsiders in the mansion. Food and supplies are all given by the imperial army. When did the eldest prince die?"

Xu Qilang said, "It happened four days ago."

Ji Heng was stunned, "It's been four days."

Xu Qilang said, "If the emperor's crime is too great, I can also find a way to make you all escape, anyway, just die if you can't."

Ji Heng's heart was already very heavy. Hearing Xu Qilang's words at this time, he said, "Don't do anything excessive. The emperor will not go too far with Ji's mansion. If he really wants to commit a serious crime to Ji's mansion, It should be the day when the Eldest Prince died, it was decided when he was in the worst grief, and it has been four days since he still hasn't decided, obviously he is still hesitating about what to do, it should be lighter."

Xu Qilang said, "Who knows what the emperor is thinking. Brother Heng, why don't you go to Guangzhou with me."

Ji Heng frowned and said, "You always say such irrelevant things."

Having said that, he said sharply again, "You haven't said how you got here."

Xu Qilang saw that Ji Heng insisted on asking this result, so he had no choice but to squirm, "I dug a tunnel from the house next door, and I dug it into the side room in the courtyard where we study. There is no one in that room, and there are several The bookshelves cover it, so it won't be found."

Ji Heng immediately said in astonishment, "You dare to do such a thing. If the emperor finds out, you will be charged with a serious crime."

Xu Qilang said righteously, "I'm not afraid of being convicted, but I'm afraid that something will happen to you."

Ji Heng said, "We are living a very good life, don't worry about it, just go, go quickly."

Xu Qilang didn't leave, and said, "Since I'm here, how can I just leave. I have to talk to my aunt..."

The two were arguing here, Mrs. Xu was just about to come to tell Ji Heng to go to bed quickly, don't read too late every night, when he heard the voice of talking outside the curtain, he opened the curtain and came in in surprise, and met Xu Qilang , she was also taken aback just like Ji Heng, and said in surprise, "Qilang, how did you come here?"
