Three years ago, Luo Wenxi and Qizhou Zhizhou Chen Ding decided to follow Ming Jue, the prince with the most orthodox blood of the royal family, at a flower viewing feast.From then on, the originally helpless prince began to grow in the direction of a powerful prince.

Qizhou's cultural background is not prosperous, but Ming Jue ordered the recruitment of talents three times, but it also absorbed a lot of talents.Mingjue recruits talents regardless of background or age, as long as they are truly talented people, they can get enough attention and respect.What's more, there are also the exemplary role of Master Zhizhou and the well-known hermit Mr. Wenjing.

Just as Ming Jue was secretly accumulating his own power, an unprecedented crisis was brewing in the inner palace of the Xiao Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Yan, the eldest son of Emperor Rui, was conferred the title of Crown Prince just half a year after he was born.Four years ago, it was because of his birth that Mingjue fell into an even more embarrassing situation, making Mingjue an unethical and deposed prince.However, this noble little life seemed to be unable to bear the grace bestowed on him by the heavens. He had been suffering from serious and minor illnesses since birth, but Emperor Rui still let this weak child be the crown prince in order to stabilize Chao Gang.

In the past few days, it has entered late autumn, the flowers are withering, and the weather is gradually getting cooler.Because the prince was young and frail, he had been living with his biological mother, Queen Li.In order to prevent the little prince from being too cold, a charcoal fire had already been lit in the Kunhe Palace, and the windows were tightly closed, for fear that a trace of cold wind would leak in.

"Mother, mother, I want to go out to play. Brother Rui Wang got a cricket, it's very fun, I want to go and have a look." Xiao Yan tugged at the corner of Queen Li's clothes.Although he was sick and weak, he was extremely intelligent. He could read a thousand characters at the age of three and recite ancient poems at the age of four.She is also very agile and lively, but she has been restrained by the queen, and she is not allowed to play too much.A few days ago, King Rui brought a cricket to attract him, and it made him think about it for several days, but today he was happy to see his mother and brought it up.

Unexpectedly, Empress Li's face turned cold all of a sudden, and she said in a deep voice: "Yan'er, don't play around with people like King Rui, he is the most irresponsible, don't let him lead you down."

"But except for Brother Rui Wang, the other brothers are unwilling to get close to me. They all keep a respectful distance from me, for fear that if something happens to me, they will be blamed on them, but don't I know my own body? I am sick because I am weak, how could I blame others for no reason." Xiao Yan said timidly, looking at the face of his mother.

"Crack!" Empress Li threw the chopsticks out of her hand forcefully, and asked sharply, "Which little hoof is chewing on the ears in front of the prince and talking nonsense to tease the master."

Seeing that the queen was angry, the court ladies and nurses who served Xiao Yan knelt down and begged for mercy in fear.Queen Li was afraid of scaring her son, so she didn't deal with it on the spot.He just hugged Xiao Yan, put it on his lap and coaxed: "Yan'er, you have to remember that you will be the emperor in the future, and they dare not get close to you, not because they don't want to get close to you. Today's queen mother I promise you to go out, but remember to wear thicker clothes."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Xiao Yan's childish nature was full of joy when he saw that his request was granted.

This day the prince only played in Prince Rui's Mansion until dark before returning to the palace, and when he was more exposed, he contracted a cold after returning.Although everyone took care of him carefully, no one really took it seriously. After all, the prince is weak, and he suffers from cold for half a year.

But after all, King Rui led the prince to play and made the prince sick, so the next day when Concubine Yan got the news, she took her son to Kunhe Palace to apologize to the queen. Although Concubine Yan was deeply favored, but her son was helpless, What's more, no matter how expensive her background is, she can't surpass the queen of the middle palace.

"Empress, it's the concubine who can't teach the son well, that's why Qi'er teased the prince without knowing the dignity. Please punish the concubine, don't forget to hate Qi'er." Concubine Yan always dresses up beautifully on weekdays Yes, now she takes off her hairpin to plead guilty, and faces the sky without a trace, but she has a charming appearance.

The queen saw that she was usually arrogant, but now she begged herself so humbly for her unworthy son, she didn't blame her, but her heart softened a little.

"I don't want to hold grudges against anyone, and I don't need to talk about punishment. You can discipline King Rui well in the future. King Rui is not young now, and he should learn from King Qing to help the emperor. He messed around with a group of cronies in the daytime." Empress Li was not a cruel person, she had an easy-going temperament, and after hearing Concubine Yan's apology, she just taught her a few words and did not punish her.Maybe he also knew that his son was born weak, no wonder others.

"Yes, the concubine remembers the empress's teachings. If there is nothing wrong with the concubine, I will leave first." Concubine Yan saw that the queen was frowning, and she was afraid that she would be upset if she stayed for a long time. She gave a salute and led King Rui. left.

After leaving Kun and Concubine Gong Yan, she showed her arrogant nature, and taught King Rui: "You are not allowed to provoke that sick man in the future, others will avoid him far away, and you are the only one who foolishly goes up to him. Fortunately, he can't It's wind and cold, if he dies, you still have to pay with your life."

"I see." King Rui said dejectedly, with his head drooping, knowing that he had made a mistake and did not dare to contradict his concubine mother.

The prince was originally just a little cold, and he would be fine if he took good care of him, but this time the illness was severe.Xiao Yan developed a high fever on the second day, and even taking medicine did not lower the temperature, which shocked even Emperor Rui.

"This child is always so troubled." Emperor Rui glanced at the prince, frowned and said, with a slight disgust in his expression.He liked this son's cleverness, but he didn't like his sick body. He hated sick people the most in his half-life.

"Your Majesty, the sage has said, 'Heaven is about to send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first exhaust their minds and wills, exhaust their bodies, and behave in a disorderly manner. Therefore, they are tempted to endure and gain what they cannot...' It can be seen that the prince Your Highness is chosen by the heavens to bear the heavy burden of the country, otherwise why would it be so difficult for him?" The imperial doctor who can't cure the prince's disease has a way to calm the emperor's heart.

"What you said is true, I hope so! You have to take good care of the prince, if it doesn't work, I want all of you to be buried with him."

"Yes." The imperial doctor replied tremblingly under the threat of the emperor.

Time passed day by day, and the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital were changed almost all over, but His Royal Highness's illness did not improve at all, and the adults in the imperial hospital and the imperial pharmacy were all at risk.

This kind of situation reminded Huang Zhengqi of another prince who lived in the East Palace back then. He suffered from wind and cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter, so he could only invite a lowly medical officer to treat him.The stove couldn't even be turned on in the house, so I could only drink some medicine and suffer, but it was fine within a few days.

Both of them are princes, but the situation is very different. Although this one is a good doctor and medicine, he is not getting better.It made him wonder secretly, which one is the one who is destined to inherit the great line under the blessing of heaven.But such a thing can only be thought about secretly when no one is around!

In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the prince, and in his capacity, he was not qualified to ask about the illness of His Highness the prince.Even if His Highness the Crown Prince really had an emergency, he would never be blamed.The wrath of the emperor will not affect the entire imperial hospital and imperial pharmacy.The prince is dead, there are always other nobles who need them to serve.This is the advantage of their low official position, no matter who is the master, there is always a place for him.

The prince finally woke up that day, and the maid guarding her rushed to report to the queen.The queen rushed to her son's bed. She always paid attention to maintenance, but several days of fear and constant toil made her look haggard, and she seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden.

"Mother's queen... Mother's queen..." Xiao Yan has been chanting the word mother's queen since he woke up.

"Yan'er, the mother is coming, and the queen mother is here." The queen grasped her son's little hand stretched out and waving in the air, and cried.

Xiao Yan's eyes slowly regained their focus, and he looked at the queen weakly and said: "Mother, don't cry, if I leave, I will be relieved. If the mother gives birth to a younger brother, please don't be like me." Xiao Yan wholeheartedly comforted My own mother didn't seem to notice the ominous meaning in her words at all.

"My son! Don't say that, you are using a knife to gouge out the queen mother's heart!" The queen burst into tears when she heard the words. A mother who loves her child.

"Mother, mother, I won't tell you, don't cry," Xiao Yan said as he took out his little hand to wipe away tears for the queen, "Mother, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, can you ask someone to make it for me?"

The queen was overjoyed again when she heard the words, Xiao Yan had been in a coma for several days, now not only did she wake up, she still had the appetite to eat.So he put down the ominous words just now, and quickly asked someone to make osmanthus cake.

Emperor Rui has always been concerned about the news from the prince's side, and when he heard that the prince had woken up, he left his booklet and rushed to Kunhe Palace.When Emperor Rui arrived, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake had already been prepared, and there were many other foods, the queen was hugging the prince herself to feed him!The prince has a ruddy complexion and is in good spirits.

When the queen saw Emperor Rui coming, she wanted to get up to pay her respects, but Emperor Rui raised her hand to stop her, "Hold Yan'er carefully! Don't throw him."

"Yes!" The queen replied and sat back down again, while shaking Xiao Yan in her arms, she said warmly: "Yan'er, look, father is here to see you."

"Yan'er pays respects to Emperor Father." Xiao Yan was unable to salute while being hugged by the queen, and nodded to Emperor Rui.

"It's good that you are well. When you are well, Father will take you to ride a horse. If you practice hard, you must surpass your elder brother Qing." Emperor Rui said happily when he saw Xiao Yan being so sensible.

"Yan'er, come and have a taste of this." The queen scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan opened a small mouth and drank it obediently, looking very cute.

Gradually Xiao Yan ate a lot, and fell asleep in the empress' arms.Emperor Rui saw that the empress was haggard and devoted herself to taking care of the prince, and suddenly felt that he owed the empress a lot, so the two talked for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you are tired from holding His Highness. Why don't you take your Highness down to rest!" The nanny came out and wanted to take the crown prince.

After being reminded by the nanny, the queen realized that Xiao Yan had fallen asleep in her arms at some point.So he stretched out his hand to hug him, but suddenly found that the tentacles were cold, it turned out that Xiao Yan had already gone.

"Ah!" The queen suddenly cried bitterly, and fell straight backwards.Emperor Rui quickly caught their mother and child, and understood what happened in his heart.He taught the nanny to hug Xiao Yan's body, and pinched the queen's body vigorously, only then did the queen faintly wake up.

When the queen woke up and saw the nanny holding the prince, she couldn't help crying on the emperor.Emperor Rui had no choice but to endure his grief to appease the queen.
