The General and the Princess

Originally, Di Shengyue came to rescue him under the order of the regent. Once the matter is settled, the second prince's reputation will be improved again, and it will be easier to compete for the throne in the future.

It's just that now that Di Shengyue is on the side of the third prince, the situation suddenly becomes more subtle.

"Regent, what should we do with these rebels now?" Shang Shuling stepped forward, glanced at the captured soldiers, and asked.

Before the second prince could speak, he was interrupted by the third prince.

"The regent has failed to save him, how can he deal with this matter?" The third prince said slowly.

He glanced at the ministers around him, cupped his hands, and said, "Fourth brother is a wolf, I noticed it very early on. All the previous designs were designed to protect my father. It's just that I haven't had time to explain the situation to my father. I fell into a coma due to illness. Before, you chose the second brother as the regent because I was still under confinement. Now, I have made a contribution to saving you. Shouldn’t you reconsider the matter of choosing the regent?”

The third prince's words were like a slap in the face, all the officials were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, hesitant for a moment.

The second prince's ability to handle government affairs is really good, but today the third prince's timely rescue made them appreciate it even more.

"My minister agrees to allow His Highness the Third Highness to take the position of regent." A courtier spoke first.

Someone took the lead, and the courtiers belonging to the third prince spoke one after another.

The second prince looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes gradually sank.

Prime Minister Gao shook his head, signaling him to wait and see.

"Grandpa thinks I'm such a fool?" said the second prince, "I still know what the Princess is like."

At this time, Di Shengyue might have other arrangements, but he still can't understand this arrangement now.

"The emperor is awake!" The eunuch's sharp voice came from the emperor's bedroom.

The second prince was slightly taken aback, one unsatisfactory thing happened one after another, at this time the father woke up, it was definitely not good news for him.

Looking at the farce in front of her, Di Shengyue raised her brows slightly. It seems that the third prince also has capable people around him.

With Concubine Rou's action, the emperor was able to wake up.

With the support of the palace servants, the queen mother came to the crowd, and as soon as she heard that the emperor had woken up, she immediately asked to see the emperor.

The third prince waved his hand, making the generals guarding the door get out of the way.

The concubine and the prince all followed the queen mother into the palace.

As a son-in-law, Di Shengyue is also eligible to enter together.

Not seeing him for a few months, the emperor lost a lot of weight, his complexion was pale, and his whole body showed a lifeless look.

He could barely speak, he couldn't move his body, and he could only wave his arms.

The empress told the emperor word for word about the palace chaos just now, the emperor's eyes widened, he was furious, and spewed out another mouthful of blood, his complexion became even uglier.

The empress carefully wiped away the blood from the corner of the emperor's mouth, picked up the medicine prepared by the imperial doctor, and handed it to the emperor's mouth.

"Your Majesty, now that the government is unstable, we still need to establish a crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the courtiers." The queen scooped up a spoonful of decoction, put it near her mouth, blew it, and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor's eyes were wide open, his face was flushed, and he said a word: "Get lost!"

Pushing the queen out with all his strength, the soup fell to the ground.

The emperor's push almost exhausted all his strength, lying on the bedside, panting.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the Empress with a dark look, and there was a bit of displeasure in her eyes.

She couldn't be more clear about the queen's mind.

The emperor seemed to be dying.

The third prince has done a great job in saving him again, now is a great opportunity to establish a crown prince.

Although she didn't like the queen's thoughts, she also knew that Li Chu would not be able to delay.

Di Shengyue stood at the farthest point, looking at the emperor mockingly.

"You all go out." The queen mother said, "Let the Ai family talk to the emperor for a while."

"Yes." Everyone nodded and went out.

There is a custom in the country of Xiao that when the emperor is seriously ill, all courtiers must wait outside.

Di Shengyue also stood with the crowd.

The queen mother talked with the emperor for about an hour, and then she came out.

"Let the emperor think about it for a few more days," said the Queen Mother.

The meaning of the queen mother's words is very clear, the prince will be elected in a few days.

"Queen Mother, you are not in good health, you should go back to the palace to rest, there are concubines guarding here." The queen showed a concerned expression.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and asked someone to send her to a side hall to rest.

"The emperor is seriously ill. My palace and the emperor have a deep love, and we will take care of them that day." The queen glanced at everyone, and said, "Concubine Rou, you were also frightened by today's incident, go back to the palace and have a good rest."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, the palace servants invited Concubine Rou out.

"Mother, you've been tired all day. Let me take care of your father's business." Xiao Ning walked towards the queen with a tray in her heart.

In the past, Xiao Ningxin's words were always cold and cold, but today she listened with a bit of softness.

Xiao Ningxin dressed in water-blue Luoshang, with a gentle bun in her arms, walked to the Queen's side with a smile, blessed her body, looked at the Queen's eyes with a little more admiration.

The queen also knew about Xiao Ningxin's rescue of the third prince, and she looked at Xiao Ningxin much softer.

"Maybe we, mother and daughter, haven't spoken for a long time," said the queen.

"It will take a lot of time for the son to finish taking care of the father." Xiao Ningxin smiled slightly.

The queen nodded, and Fangxiao went to the emperor's bedroom with a concentrated mind.

Seeing Xiao Ningxin's different performance from the past, Di Shengyue moved her eyes slightly, and lowered her eyes to hide the trace of worry in her eyes.

Xiao Ningxin sat beside the emperor with the soup in her hand, and carefully helped the emperor to get up.

"Father, it's time to drink the medicine." She carefully handed the spoon to the emperor.

Seeing that it was Xiao Ningxin, the emperor felt a little relieved.

He still knows this daughter's temperament, she is indifferent to world affairs.

Xiao Ningxin took good care of him at this time, which made him feel very comforted.

After the bottom of a bowl of soup and medicine, Xiao Ningxin supported the emperor to lie down: "Father is tired, so let's take a rest."

"You..." The emperor opened his mouth, wanting to ask something.

"Father, don't worry." Xiao Ningxin smiled softly, "I didn't come here to persuade Father to make a crown prince. As a princess, I know what to say and what not to say."

Hearing this, the emperor felt relieved a lot, and looked at Xiao Ningxin with a little more tenderness.

Suddenly a strong drowsiness came over, and the emperor slowly closed his eyes.

Xiao Ningxin looked at the emperor's tightly closed eyes for a long time before putting her index finger on the tip of the emperor's nose. The emperor had already lost his breath.

Xiao Ningxin showed an expression that was half smiling and half crying, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.

She knelt in front of the emperor's bed and kowtowed fiercely: "Father, forgive me for being unfilial!"

She found the emperor's jade seal from the secret compartment, and stamped a blank edict.

She rolled up the edict and held it in her hand.

Xiao Ningxin walked to the emperor's side, stuffed the imperial edict into the emperor's hand, and sat on the ground beside the bed.

She took out a brown pill from the kit, and swallowed the pill with a flash of determination in her eyes.

"I've planned my whole life, and it's time to end."

Her eyes looked forward, and she curled her lips mockingly: "Mother, have you ever remembered what Xiao Ningxin said. You ruined my tenderness, and I ruined your dream. Everything you want will eventually come to an end." I can't get it."

She raised her wrist, and there was no red string on her wrist.

She gently stroked the place where the red rope was, her eyes were full of tenderness.

The properties of the medicine gradually increased, and Xiao Ningxin felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

The light in her eyes gradually faded, Xiao Ningxin exhausted her last strength and looked at the door of the bedroom, as if she wanted to look at Concubine Li's Yunxian Palace through the door.

She hooked her lips and showed a rare playful smile: "Wei Yuhan, it's useless for you to pretend to be smart, but in the end, you don't even have a chance to take revenge on me."

Xiao Ningxin lowered her head slowly, and gradually lost her breath.

next morning

The courtiers stood there all night, feeling a little drowsy.

Di Shengyue squinted at the figure of the queen mother, walked to the side of the third prince, and said in a low voice: "Third highness, although the emperor's will is up to the emperor, the support of the queen mother is also very important. If the queen mother sees that you are taking good care of me After spending the night with the emperor, the queen mother will definitely look at you with admiration."

"Thank you for the reminder." The third prince whispered, "In the future, you will definitely be reinstated."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Di Shengyue's voice showed no emotion.

She looked at the back of the third prince, hooked the corners of her mouth, and revealed a mocking smile.

The empress dowager walked out of the side hall, the empress went up to greet her, and followed the empress dowager into the emperor's bedroom.

The third prince had just entered the dormitory, seeing Xiao Ningxin collapsed on the ground, he wanted to take a look at the situation.

It's just that the eyes fell on the bright yellow imperial edict in the emperor's hand.

He couldn't stand up all of a sudden, and took the imperial edict from the emperor's hand.

Everyone followed behind the queen mother, and it happened to enter the bedroom at this time.

The sight in front of them shocked everyone.

The emperor's face turned gray and defeated, Xiao Ning fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

And the third prince held the imperial edict in his hand, and his face looked a bit ferocious.

"You! You!" The Queen Mother almost fainted from anger.

Supported by the palace servants, she walked quickly to the emperor's side.

The wrinkled hand was tremblingly placed on the tip of the emperor's nose, and he was already out of breath.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have lost all her strength, her whole body wobbled and almost fell down.

"Queen Mother!" Everyone exclaimed and realized something was wrong.

"Imperial doctor, imperial doctor!" Yugui shouted at the imperial doctor.

The head of the imperial hospital took the pulse of the emperor, and said solemnly: "The humble minister is incompetent, the emperor, he, has passed away."

The queen mother almost fainted again.

"Doctor, take a look at the second princess first." As soon as Di Shengyue said, everyone thought of Xiao Ningxin.

Di Shengyue supported Xiao Ningxin, and extended Xiao Ningxin's hand to the head of the courtyard.

The head of the hospital got a pulse, and his complexion suddenly turned ugly: "Second, the second princess was poisoned, and she passed away."

"The second princess was fine when she came in, why did it happen?" Di Shengyue looked up at the third prince, and her eyes fell on the edict in the third prince's hand.

Everyone followed Di Shengyue's gaze to look at the third prince, with suspicion in their eyes.

Seeing this, the second prince snatched the edict from the third prince's hand, and it was blank.

"Father! It's my son's fault. It's my son's failure to see clearly the wolfish ambition of the third prince, which caused you to suffer!" The second prince knelt heavily on the ground, pointed at the third prince, and said in a painful tone, "You For the sake of the crown prince, you even killed your father, and now you don’t even let your own sister go! In order to get the second sister charged with murdering the father and the king, you even killed her! If it weren’t for today’s empress dowager Earlier, I am afraid that you have already written all the contents of this imperial edict."

"Come on, don't take this sinner down yet!" The second prince yelled sharply. Seeing that the palace people around him were hesitant, he raised his tone again, "This king is still the regent now, who of you dares to disobey?"

Only at this time did the palace servants come forward and hold the third prince up.

The third prince looked at everything in front of him in astonishment, completely unaware of how he, who was still holding the chance of winning a second ago, turned into this scene.

The queen looked at the scene in front of her, and her eyes fell on Xiao Ningxin for a long time.

In the end, he let out a laugh that was almost maniacal: "Xiao Ningxin, Xiao Ningxin, you are really a good daughter of this palace! This palace really underestimated you. You are as cruel as this palace!"

How could she not understand what Xiao Ningxin did.

Xiao Ningxin knew what she had planned for many years, and she wanted to give her a fatal blow at the most critical moment.

Xiao Ningxin's indifference for many years is not because of death, nor surrender, but dormancy.

She hibernates patiently, waiting for her to relax her vigilance, just for today's fatal blow.

The third prince is completely finished, and so is she.

Xiao Ningxin, it was Bengong who lost to you after all.

The author has something to say: Emphasize it!

Xiao Ningxin and Li Fei are not be, not be, not be! ! !
