Prince is a ghost

Within a few days, the emperor's imperial decree came down, making Chuquan the national teacher of Dayan and staying in the Sanskrit Hall.

After receiving the imperial decree, Chu Quan immediately ordered his servants to prepare to move out of Qingqing Villa.Although Fei Chen was happy for Chu Quan, he was still a little lonely when packing up his things.

Sensing Fei Chen's mood, Chu Quan pulled him into his arms, "What's the matter? Don't you want to enter the palace?"

Feichen smiled, but didn't speak.He was just afraid that although the imperial palace was big, it would not be able to accommodate someone of his stature.

"Don't worry, where there is me, there must be a place for you." Chu Quan comforted softly.

Fei Chen thought about it, and felt that since he decided to enjoy it for the rest of his life, there was no need to hide anything from Chu Quan, so he said, "I just don't want to be here."

"Huh? Do you like Qingqing Villa very much?"

"Since I was sensible, I have lived in the Nanfeng Pavilion. This is my first home."

"It's easy." Chu Quan smiled, "Although we usually live in the palace, the emperor hasn't taken back this villa. It's still ours. We can come back and stay occasionally."

Fei Chen's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Chu Quan nodded, "Of course it's true, when have I lied to you?"

Feichen smiled brightly, and only felt that he was really lucky in his life to be liked by people like Chu Quan.Suddenly, a thought flashed in Feichen's mind, which made his smile gradually shrink.

"What's wrong?" Chu Quan asked.

Feichen said hesitantly: "Chu Quan, now that the emperor values ​​you so much, in the future... in the future, he will definitely give you a marriage."

Chu Quan raised his eyebrows, "Why do you think so?"

"I just heard the saying that you might be recruited as a son-in-law or something..."

Chu Quan couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

Feichen was stunned for a moment, he just felt that he was worried here, and Chu Quan was still smiling so happily, he couldn't help feeling a little bit wronged.

Chu Quan laughed enough, leaned close to Feichen's ear, and whispered: "Don't worry, the emperor won't do that."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because the emperor knows that I have broken my sleeve."

"But……"

"There are several types of broken sleeves, and I'm the one who can't handle women." Chu Quan spread his hands, "So, unless the emperor is willing to make the princess a widow, otherwise he won't have my idea."

Just as Fei Chen was relieved, another question came to his mind: "Then what about your heirs?" It's okay to cut off your sleeves, but you can't cut off your children and grandchildren, right?

Chu Quan blinked, "You give birth to me."

Fei Chen blushed, stopped talking to Chu Quan, and went to pack his things.

The palace, the imperial garden, autumn is strong.

Chu Quan followed the eunuch on the path in the imperial garden.The old eunuch had served the emperor for a long time, and at this moment he couldn't help but began to ramble: "Your Majesty is not in a good mood these days, please ask the national teacher to persuade His Majesty more."

"But what's going on in the government?"

The old eunuch sighed, "On the one hand, the front court is not peaceful, the harem is also in chaos, and the queen's side... well, it's the old servant who is talking too much."

Chu Quan didn't ask any more questions, and followed behind the old eunuch thoughtfully.

The emperor sat in the gazebo, the tea beside him was completely cold but there was still a drop.The emperor folded his hands under his chin, his face gloomy.Seeing Chu Quan coming, he forced a smile, "Ai Qing."

Chu Quan saluted the emperor, "How is Your Majesty these days?"

"I can do anything wrong. But you, are you used to living in the palace?"

Chu Quan smiled, "I don't usually go out much, and it doesn't make any difference to me whether I live in the palace or outside the palace."

"That's good. If there is anything missing in the Sanskrit Hall, just tell me directly. I wanted to go and see you, but I have too many troubles recently, and I really can't leave."

"Yes." Chu Quan stepped forward and made a cup of tea for the emperor. "I haven't seen you for a few days. How can I see that His Majesty has lost weight?"

The emperor touched his cheek subconsciously, "Really? It may be because of the change of seasons. I always feel very tired recently."

"Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body."

The emperor sighed, "I don't know what happened recently, people around me got sick one after another, first the queen, then general Chu."

Chu Quan's heart moved, "Yan... General Chu has returned to Beijing?"

"Well, I came back a while ago. I was sick in bed as soon as I returned to Beijing, and I didn't even come to court these days."

"The general is in good health. There should be nothing serious. Your Majesty does not need to worry."

"But the imperial doctor I sent said that he has been in a coma for several days, and he has not improved at all after taking medicine." The emperor was worried.

Chu Quan resisted the urge to sneer, let alone illness, Yan Xichao died once, so what is this minor illness?

The emperor looked at Chu Quan, vaguely feeling uneasy, "Chu Quan, why do I feel that you are very happy about General Chu's illness?"

"Would it be?" Chu Quan immediately put on a serious face, "How can I take pleasure in other people's misfortunes? Your Majesty must have read it wrong."

"Okay. By the way, I heard that there are quite a few people visiting the General's Mansion these days, but I see that you don't seem to have any intention of visiting him?"

"I'm not an imperial physician, so it's not good for the general to visit him."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Although this is the case, the superficial things still have to be done."

Chu Quan said helplessly: "I obey the order. By the way, I heard that the empress is not feeling well recently, and the empress is almost ten months pregnant with the prince. I don't know if it is better now?"

Mentioning this, the emperor became upset for a while, "The empress is weak in the first place, and it is indeed hard work for her to be pregnant with the prince. But the imperial doctor said that as long as the baby is well adjusted, there shouldn't be any major problems during childbirth."

"Your majesty, it's not easy for the queen, you need to love her more."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Quan.Chu Quan was not comfortable seeing him, "Your Majesty?"

The emperor looked serious, "Chu Quan, you don't need to bind me with these morals and ethics. As the king of a country, I know the responsibilities on my shoulders, and I will be responsible to the queen, to the ministers, and to the people. But I can't control myself My heart. My heart for you will not change."

"Why bother, Your Majesty. Can't Your Majesty see that I already have someone I like?"

The emperor's tone was a bit strange, "I know, it's the boy you bought from the men's shop. He is really so good, better than me? Except I can't give you the second place, I can give you everything."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty! Who in the world can compare with you?"

"Humph."

Chu Quan said lightly: "There are indeed many people who are better than him, but there are very few people who can always be by my side and never give up. For Your Majesty, the country is the most important thing, and the minister is in your heart." I don't know where to rank. I don't have many demands, I just hope that the person next to me will always put me in the first place."

The emperor was silent for a long time before he said: "I really can't do what you said. But it doesn't mean I'm not sincere to you."

Chu Quan laughed, "The minister would like to thank His Majesty for his favor."

The emperor closed his eyes wearily, "Forget it, you should step back first, I want to be alone."

Chu Quan nodded, "I will leave."

Ever since Chu Quan moved into the palace, unless summoned by the emperor, he usually stayed behind closed doors.Many ministers have come to visit him, but he is only perfunctory.The news of Yan Xichao's serious illness spread widely. Chu Quan really didn't know about it before, but now that he knew about it, he didn't have any reaction.It has to be said that the national teacher is really a idle job, unless it is a sacrifice or something weird happened in the palace, generally he is not required to do anything.

On this day, Chu Quan was sleeping drowsily, when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of a bell, and then the noise around him became more and more chaotic.

Feichen also woke up, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Outside..."

Chu Quan put on some clothes, "I'll go out and have a look." He walked out of the room and asked a court lady, "What happened?"

The maid cried, "The queen is dead."

Chu Quan was startled: "What's going on?"

"Yes... it's dystocia, both the queen and the prince..."

"How is it possible," Chu Quan murmured, "Didn't it mean that although the empress is weak, there is no problem in taking good care of her and giving birth to the prince?"

The palace maid shook her head choked with sobs, "I heard that the queen was awakened by a nightmare suddenly at night, and then she was frightened, so, just..."

Nightmare... What a coincidence, it happened to be this night!Chu Quan wakes up like a dream. The emperor has been on the throne for many years, and there is only one prince in the queen's womb. If the prince cannot be born smoothly, the plan for that person is of course beneficial and harmless.Ever since the reunion, Yan Xichao had always looked harmless in front of him, and he almost forgot how cruel that person was.

Seeing that Chu Quan's expression was getting more and more wrong, Feichen asked worriedly, "Chu Quan?"

Chu Quan collected himself, "Let's go."

"Where are you going? Weeping for the queen?"

Chu Quan sneered, "No, go to the General's Mansion to see a doctor."

At this time, the news that the queen died had spread outside the palace.The servants of the General's Mansion began to arrange white cloths and other ghost objects according to Dayan's practice, and there was chaos up and down.Only Gu Yongnian was still guarding Yan Xichao's room, constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Yan Xichao had been sleeping like this for several days. Even in his sleep, he still looked in pain, with his lips tightly pressed together, sweating profusely.After looking for a doctor, the emperor also sent an imperial physician to feed Yan Xichao a lot of medicine, but nothing improved.Yan Xichao had never suffered from any illness, even if he was injured on the battlefield, it would not be so serious.Gu Yongnian was so anxious that he burst into tears, but there was nothing he could do.

"General, brother Yan, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly." Gu Yongnian kissed the back of Yan Xichao's hand, and secretly swore in his heart that if his general could wake up intact, he must change his temper , no longer lose your temper casually.

After a while, Zhuang Sui came to visit Yan Xichao and asked Gu Yongnian, "Is the general feeling better?"

Gu Yongnian shook his head with red eyes, "It's still the same."

"General, he will be fine." Zhuang Sui said with certainty, "Nothing can hurt him, not even death, let alone this disease?"

Gu Yongnian wiped his eyes, "Brother Zhuang, tell me, where did the general go and what happened when he left the capital?"

Zhuang Sui's eyes dodged somewhat, "Yongnian, this has nothing to do with you."

Gu Yongnian said angrily: "How can it have nothing to do with me! The general's business is my business!"

At this time, the butler hurried in, "Master Zhuang, the national teacher is here!"
