"Fifth Prince?" Lin Jinwen muttered these three words softly, as if pondering, and then asked casually, "Which Fifth Prince?" Jiang Hai, who was kneeling on the ground, shivered.

He hurriedly slapped himself fiercely and said sincerely and fearfully: "Prince, forgive me, the servant said something wrong in a moment of impatience, yes, it is the Sixth Prince who is not good."

When Jiang Hai said this, everyone present felt a little delicate and complicated.In the past, the emperor had five sons, and they had long been used to these five princes. Now that Lin Jinwen suddenly inserted a position in such a horizontal manner, the names of the next three princes all moved one place backward.

It's just that Lin Jinwen is already a high-ranking prince when he appears in the eyes of everyone. They usually call Lin Jinwen His Highness the Prince, and naturally ignore the order of his princes.

Now everyone was sobered up by Jiang Hai's slap in the face. They had just been tormented by Lin Jinwen and frightened by Jiang Hai's slap. All the courtiers would be more careful about Lin Jinwen's aspects in the future.

The most important thing is that everyone is very subtle about the title of the sixth prince.

This week Zhou Kang can't be regarded as the sixth prince, he is the eldest prince Zhou Rui who came here in an affair with the concubine, this status is embarrassing.

Lin Jinwen looked at the five fingerprints floating on Jiang Hai's face, with a cold expression, he said: "The sixth prince has always been taken care of by Royal Physician Wang, why is he not well?"

Jiang Hai said with a straight face: "The doctor Wang said that the sixth prince was young and his body was always weak and could not withstand the wind and rain. The poison in his body was too domineering for him. When the doctor Wang treated him today, six The prince suddenly vomited blood and lost his mind."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hai took a careful look at Lin Jinwen and said: "The sixth prince wanted to see the prince before he fell into a coma, but the doctor Wang dared not hide it, so he passed the word to the East Palace. His Highness could not make the decision, so he ordered his servants to come and report to the prince."

Hearing Jiang Hai's words, many people couldn't help saying something sinful in their hearts.

It is said that Zhou Kang was born one month prematurely, so his body was relatively weak, and he was sick and took medicine all the year round.Thinking about it now, it is unclear whether this premature birth is real or fake.

Maybe Zhou Kang's illness was man-made. After all, the health of a premature baby is better than that of a strong baby. Isn't that telling others that there is something wrong with this baby?

But now these can only be speculations from the bottom of everyone's heart, and no one can get the truth from An Zhaoyi's mouth.As for Zhou Kang's fate, although the emperor did not kill him immediately, he also said that he would not be treated by the Royal Physician Wang.

It was to let him live and suffer, to watch himself die bit by bit, and it was to punish An Zhaoyi who was in the cold palace.

Poisoned himself but poisoned his own son, knowing that he was suffering but helpless.As a mother who loves her son, An Zhaoyi's heart is probably broken these days.

What was unexpected was Lin Jinwen, who even asked Royal Physician Wang to treat Zhou Kang.Zhou Kang once pushed Lin Jinwen, causing him to almost die in the tiger's mouth.

Lin Jinwen should take advantage of the situation and let Zhou Kang die silently, which is the best policy. Zhou Kang's death has nothing to do with him, and no one else can find fault with him.

Lin Jinwen listened to Jiang Hai's words and said: "Gu knows, you said something wrong today, even if you are Qinglin's capable person, Gu will not forgive you lightly, please step back after receiving [-] big boards."

Jiang Haidao: "Slave, thank you, His Royal Highness."

When Jiang Hai was dragged down to bear the court staff, Lin Jinwen watched the courtiers and told them to disperse.

After everyone left, Lin Jinwen went to the harem to visit Zhou Kang.

Zhou Kang is still living in An Zhaoyi's palace. An Zhaoyi was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor, and the palace is empty and lonely.

When Lin Jinwen went, Wang Zhong was administering acupuncture to Zhou Kang. Zhou Kang was very thin, with no flesh on his face. Skinny and bony can be used to describe his current appearance.

If a person is too thin, his eyes will appear to be very large, making him look a little scary.

Hearing that Lin Jinwen had arrived, Zhou Kang's eyes lit up. He wanted to move his body and stand up, but Wang Zhong said in a low voice, "Don't move."

Zhou Kang didn't move, Wang Zhong pierced the last silver needle into his body, and then let out a long breath.Anyway, Zhou Kang survived again.

At the beginning, the emperor was furious and forbade Wang Zhong to treat Zhou Kang. When Wang Zhong took over Zhou Kang's body again, the poison had entered his lungs.In order to suppress the toxicity in Zhou Kang's body, Wang Zhong ordered 99 silver needles to pierce Zhou Kang's body every time.

When the silver needle was pulled out, Zhou Kang was covered in blood.

Sometimes Wang Zhong didn't know whether he wanted Zhou Kang to live or just die.

When Wang Zhong came out of the dormitory, Lin Jinwen raised his eyebrows and silently asked how he was, and Wang Zhong nodded slowly in silence.Wang Zhong had seen a lot of illnesses and seen many things. He thought his heart was hardened.

But facing Zhou Kang, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

There is not much reason, Zhou Kang is still a child, and he bears too many responsibilities that he should not bear.Adults' calculations, confused bloodlines, other people's whispers and so on.

He was spurned when he was dead, and pointed at while alive.

Lin Jinwen understood what Wang Zhong meant, that Zhou Kang would not die for the time being, but no one could guarantee his tomorrow.

Lin Jinwen approached the bedroom, Zhou Kang's eyes were always open, after seeing him, Zhou Kang moved his somewhat dry lips, and said, "His Royal Highness."

But in such a short period of one or two months, Zhou Kang seemed to be much more mature than before.In the past, he would probably call Prince Lin Jinwen's brother in a soft voice.

It can act like a baby, and it can also bring the relationship closer to each other.

Yuan Xiao moved a chair for Lin Jinwen, but Lin Jinwen didn't sit down. He looked at the haggard Zhou Kang and said, "You want to see the orphan."

Zhou Kang's body was full of silver needles, he couldn't move, so he looked at Lin Jinwen and said, "Yes."

Lin Jinwen didn't say a word, Zhou Kang said softly: "I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince one thing. If I die, I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can relieve the mother and concubine An."

Lin Jinwen looked into Zhou Kang's calm eyes, there was nothing there, no light at all, and he just talked about his affairs in a flat manner.

Lin Jinwen said: "Isn't Doctor Wang treating your illness? Why are you thinking about this? You should know that An Zhaoyi will only live if you are alive, and she will not survive if you die."

No one wanted to kill her, but she would kill herself.

Zhou Kang is alive, and An Zhaoyi knows that there is a poisonous person in his body who is being tortured, so there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe Zhou Kang can be cured.Zhou Kang died, and for An Zhaoyi, it was she who killed her own child with her own hands.

How could she survive, even if she really lived, she would probably go crazy.Zhou Kang is now living in pain for An Zhaoyi. An Zhaoyi suffers day and night in the cold palace. He is afraid when he does not hear the news, and even more afraid of hearing the news.

Zhou Kang probably didn't expect Lin Jinwen to say this to him. He was a little surprised, but he soon calmed down, and he looked very young and mature. He gasped and said, "I know my own body best. If you survive this time, you may not be able to survive the next time. If you survive the next time, you will die next time. Besides, I have a feeling that I can’t make it through. It hurts so much that I can’t bear it.”

"It's okay if I die. The blood in my body is filthy. Even if I die, I can't enter the imperial tomb. I can only be wrapped up and thrown in a random grave. The concubine mother did something wrong, but she She really loves me, and I only hope that after I die, she can be freed from it and no longer be tortured."

"I once harmed His Highness the Crown Prince, and I hope His Highness will not care about me, a dying person." Zhou Kang must have thought about this for a long time, and when he said it, his tone was flat, without any ups and downs.

His breathing was very heavy, and he had to gasp several times after speaking these few words.Zhou Kang felt his throat hurt, but fortunately, he said what he wanted to say.

"You said it lightly. You almost killed Gu Ke in the animal room." Lin Jinwen said this fact.

Zhou Kang laughed when he heard this, and he said: "But His Royal Highness is still soft-hearted, otherwise, he would not let the royal doctor treat me and save my life. But soft-heartedness is taboo in the palace. After becoming the emperor It is easy to be used by people. This palace is a place to eat people. If you stay here for a long time, you will become a person, especially if you are a prince. I know the difference between being an emperor and not being an emperor at such a young age. Your Royal Highness Sooner or later, he will become the emperor, and he will have his own children. The throne is like an apple smeared with poison, and they will have the heart to fight. At that time, what will His Royal Highness do?"

If An Zhaoyi hadn't become greedy and wanted to push him above the throne, maybe he wouldn't have been caught so easily.But even so, he couldn't blame An Zhaoyi.

He remembered An Zhaoyi's humbleness in front of the concubine Xian. An Zhaoyi could only kneel on the ground to plead guilty with the concubine Xian's eyes. Zhou Rui would find an excuse to send her and himself away after seeing it.

But Zhou Rui wouldn't arrive in time every time, An Zhaoyi was the one who charged at Concubine Xian, and she had to bear the guilt.

At the beginning, she was towards Zhou Rui, but recently, as Zhou Rui continued to be stupid, the concubine Xian pressed her hard, and Zhou Kang grew up, she only had such thoughts in her heart.

The result is that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Zhou Kang was only six years old. Thinking about it, he was one year old. He was only seven years old. He should still be a carefree child in modern times.But now, he said such words with such a face, which made people feel creepy.

Maybe the imperial palace is really a place to transform people. It will wirelessly magnify the desires in people's hearts, make people have all kinds of greed, and maybe do wrong things because of it.

However, Lin Jinwen was not afraid of this, and would feel fear because of it.This is probably the most essential difference between him and the people of this era. The emperor is suspicious because he is afraid that others will take his position.

As an emperor, he is always afraid that his son will look old when he grows up. He will always make unnecessary comparisons unconsciously, and he will be afraid of the loss of power.But Lin Jinwen didn't know how, birth, old age, sickness and death were normal in his eyes.

Nowadays, the society already pays attention to those who can do things well. Of course, people in this big week probably don't believe what he thinks in his heart.It doesn't matter, he didn't want to tell them to believe it.

Wherever people are, there is competition, and they all have various ideas.This is true in the palace, and it is also the same outside the palace. People are inherently ambitious, and it depends on whether they can grasp the speed.

As for Zhou Kang's soft-heartedness, he probably felt that Lin Jinwen had never killed anyone.Lin Jinwen has never done this before, but it doesn't mean he dare not do it.

If his bottom line is touched, he will do it.

But Lin Jinwen didn't respond to Zhou Kang's words, he said indifferently: "This is something to worry about alone, so don't think too much about it."

Zhou Kang looked up at Lin Jinwen, Lin Jinwen's understatement made him envious.He thought, maybe this is why several princes in the palace lost to this man.

Seeing that Zhou Kang had nothing to say, Lin Jinwen turned and left.Zhou Kang looked at his back, wondering what he was thinking, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

He looked at the curtain beside the bed with a dazed expression. At some point, his heart ached so badly that his eyes began to go dark.

In a haze, he heard someone calling his name, the voice was a little familiar, like the emperor's voice, or Zhou Rui's.Confused, Zhou Kang couldn't tell who it was.

Lin Jinwen came out of the palace, and casually ordered Yuan Xiao beside him, "Send someone to the Leng Palace to tell An Zhaoyi about Zhou Kang."

Yuan Xiao answered, and Lin Jinwen stopped him when he was about to leave, "The Great Emperor's womb also sent someone to say something."

Yuan Xiao paused for a moment, seeing that Lin Jinwen had nothing else to say, then turned and left.

Lin Jinwen took advantage of the situation and returned to the East Palace.

In the East Palace, Gu Qinglin was standing in the main hall waiting for him, seeing Lin Jinwen, Gu Qinglin walked over, Lin Jinwen stepped forward and grabbed his hand.them

Gu Qinglin didn't ask how Zhou Kang was doing now, but Lin Jinwen told what had happened without any grievances.

After hearing this, Gu Qinglin said with a serious face: "I will carefully select the people who serve me early, and I will never let him be bewitched when he was young. When he grows up early, if he dares to do such a thing , then I'll break his leg."

Lin Jinwen blinked, he didn't expect Gu Qinglin to talk about this, he really didn't mean it.But it's good for Gu Qinglin to take precautions in advance. As Lin Zaozao, their only son, they naturally won't teach him badly.

And Lin Jinwen has already thought about it, he can't be a doting parent.Lin Zaozao was able to live a life of rich clothes and fine food, and he could also live a life of eating miscellaneous grains, a life of stability, and he could also see the bitter days of wars raging at the border.

Lin Zaozao probably didn't expect that before he left, his parents were thinking about his future, and even made a series of plans for him in their hearts.

Of course, the plan is set, as to whether it can be implemented, we have to wait and see.

@@@

In the next few days, many things happened in the palace.

First of all, An Zhaoyi in the cold palace died of illness. The news of her death has not yet spread, and Zhou Kangren is also dead.The two were taboos in the palace, and no one dared to say anything.

This matter was widely spread, and before Lin Jinwen opened his mouth, the emperor knew about it.It is said that the emperor's expression was very ferocious when he heard this, and he sneered again and again.

But maybe it was because he was too sad, or because he was too angry when he remembered the past, the emperor vomited blood on the spot.

When Lin Jinwen got the news, he immediately sent someone to see a doctor for the emperor, and then news came from the residence of the eldest prince who was under guard, saying that Zhou Rui's concubine, Wen's family, had a miscarriage.

It is said that she was beaten alive to miscarry.

There was a loyal girl beside Wen Yi, who ran out desperately to see Gu Qinglin, but was blocked by the guards.The girl knelt at the gate of the palace and begged all night, but the news finally got to the palace.

Lin Jinwen also knew about these things, but he did not intervene, leaving this matter to Gu Qinglin to deal with.

The most urgent thing for Lin Jinwen to deal with now is the emperor's serious illness.

At the second prince's mansion, Zhou An heard about this, he sat in the courtyard and took a jug of wine and drank it with his head up towards the moon in the sky.This wine was very unpalatable, with a bad taste and a lot of impurities, but Zhou An drank it with great relish.

Lin Wenxiu came over after he had finished drinking a glass of wine, and silently did it from the side.

After drinking a jug of wine, Zhou An threw the jug on the ground, and the jug fell to the ground with two bangs.Zhou An smiled wryly and said, "It's my turn next."

Lin Wenxiu froze for a moment, and looked at him for some reason.

Zhou An raised his head and said: "You have heard about the results of the Lin family's disposition. I plotted against the emperor and plotted against Lin Jinwen. Now that I have won the king and lost the bandit, I will die. Yes. Now that I am a mud bodhisattva, I can't protect myself when crossing the river, I will write a divorce letter, you take it, and leave the capital with your brother Lin Wenjuan."

Lin Wenxiu looked at the decadent Zhou An and said nothing, or she wanted to say something, but Zhou An's desolate expression stopped her.

Zhou An looked at Lang Lang's sky, his eyes were full of sarcasm: "I have worked hard and calculated everything. I have doubted Lin Jinwen many times, and I have always approached him to test him. But in the end, everything I did was wrong. It's ridiculous to say that he climbed the ladder to the crown prince."

Having said that, Zhou An still wants to drink some wine, but this is the last pot of wine in the Second Prince's Mansion, and he scavenged it from the kitchen.

Lin Wenxiu pursed her lips, and she said: "His Majesty Dong Gonggong has agreed to ask me to see you, just wait."

Lin Wenxiu didn't know why she said that, but she always remembered that when she was sent to the second prince's residence, many people laughed at her.

It was this person who lifted her hijab curiously, saying that he would listen to Concubine Qi in the future and hand over the Second Prince's Mansion to her. It was also this person who used the excuse of seeing Lin Jinwen to accompany her back to the door.

Even knowing that all of this was done on purpose, Lin Wenxiu was still grateful.

So ever since Lin Jinwen became the crown prince and moved into the East Palace, she has been sending letters to the East Palace. It was not easy to see Lin Jinwen, so she wanted to see Gu Qinglin.She wasn't discouraged even after being rejected, and now she finally got a promise.

Zhou An looked at her and shook his head, "You don't understand, he won't let me go, just like I won't let him go." He and Lin Jinwen are so similar, even if he didn't plan to frame Lin Jinwen in advance , Lin Jinwen will not keep him either.

Zhou An thought he was such a person, so Lin Jinwen naturally did too.In Zhou An's eyes, Lin Jinwen had arranged for An Zhaoyi's death, Zhou Kang's death, and even everything that happened in the First Prince's Mansion.

Lin Jinwen is the prince now, and the emperor can't move while lying on the bed. He needs to get rid of these legitimate princes.Because if it were him, he would do the same.

Thinking of this, Zhou An stood up and staggered away, leaving Lin Wenxiu sitting in the wind and looking at the moon in the sky alone.
