Chapter 256
The Crown Prince led the way into the chambers, followed closely by King Yan and Tai Sun
Wei Yan went forward to salute, the Crown Prince gave a casual hmmm, quickly walked to the side of the dragon collapse and looked at the Emperor with a worried expression, “How is Father Emperor’s dragon body now?”
The civil and military officials did not dare to stare carefully at the emperor to measure, only know that the emperor’s body is uncomfortable to be helped back to the bedchamber
Crown Prince and others were closest to the emperor, only they clearly saw the emperor’s face was yellow and full of cold sweat
After the end of the court there is a palace banquet, the emperor is not present, the crown prince and others have to stay to preside over the palace banquet
When the banquet is over the civil and military officials are dispersed, the crown prince Yan Wang Huang Taisun immediately rushed to the Zixian Hall to
The emperor put up his spirits and smiled: “Wei Yan just administered acupuncture for me, I am now much better”
Saying that it was much better was only in comparison to before
In the eyes of the crowd, the emperor’s face is still dark and decrepit, revealing the breath of a dying old man who is about to die
Taking pills indiscriminately, strong call concubines, diet and refused to moderate, long-term so on, the body is not hollowed out is strange
However, so obvious fact, and who dares to say straight to the face of the emperor?
Even the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and the King of Yan didn’t have the guts
King Yan spoke with his eyes open: ”Father’s complexion is indeed much better than just now
My son can see it in his eyes and can rest assured”
With another concerned face, he said, “The well-being of Father Emperor’s dragon body concerns the thousands of people of the Great Zhou Dynasty
Please take care of your father’s health
The major events in the dynasty have imperial brother to worry about, father need not worry, as long as the peace of mind to nourish the dragon body is”
Said, and smiled to the crown prince said: “Brother want to worry about the court affairs, father here, by me to serve disease care good”
This mouth is a series of sweet words, coaxed the emperor’s heart
Looking at his favorite son, his eyes were full of love
The Crown Prince did not move and smiled a little, nodding his head in response, “Then I will be grateful to the fifth brother”
The royal grandson who has not said a word, at this time also stepped forward: “Royal grandfather’s dragon body is sick, grandson can’t rest assured, every day also come into the palace to serve the disease, accompanying the royal grandfather to talk to relieve boredom”Good good, you all a piece of filial piety, I will not stop you”
The Emperor likes his youngest son, and prefers the eldest grandson who is a young man, and smiles in relief at his words
Yan Wang glanced at the imperial grandson, half cynical, half hateful cold snort in his heart
The corner of the eye of the Imperial Great-grandson clearly caught the Yan King’s unkind gaze, still not moving
Wei Yan had been standing silently at the side, taking in the scene
There is no father and son in the heavenly family, and there is no hand and foot in the royal family!
For the sake of the dragon chair, it was by no means uncommon for fathers and sons to turn against each other and brothers to fight each other
Sooner or later, there would be a bloody struggle between the Crown Prince and King Yan
This open and shut battle, I don’t know how many people’s lives will be involved
He, on the other hand, had already waded into the muddy waters and quagmire a long time ago
If he wanted to save his life, if he wanted to get out in peace, he had to plan carefullyCrown Prince Wei,” the Crown Prince’s voice interrupted Wei Yan’s rummage, “You have been diagnosing and treating Father Emperor for a few years now
You know better than anyone how Father’s body is doing
These days, I’m going to trouble you more
As long as you can regulate Father’s body well, this king will definitely reward you!”
Wei Yan collected his mind, arched his hand and responded, “This is all within the scope of my humble servant’s duties, Your Highness the Crown Prince said so, my humble servant’s heart is terrified”
The Crown Prince smiled gently, “Your medical skills are excellent, and the art of acupuncture is even more exquisite and skillful
Over the past few years, my king’s body has been recovering day by day, not without your credit
This king has all these in his heart
You don’t like gold and silver, and you are dedicated to your medical skills
However, the reward that should be given is always not missing”
Speaking gently and generously, people like spring breeze
This is where the crown prince is most praised and loved
Empress Xu Yan Wang mother and son secretly pulling together to make friends with powerful officials, but also in the emperor’s side of the effort, the power is huge staggering
Even so, did not really shake the position of the crown prince
Wei Yan also had to sigh in admiration, smiled and thanked the grace, and then retired
At this time, the sky had already darkened
The palace banquet in the Pepper Room Hall had long since ended, and Wei Jieyu should also return to the Lingbo Hall at this time
Wei Yan thought for a moment, then lifted his feet and went to the Lingbo Hall
Today was the first day of the new year, he should also go to see his eldest sister and Princess An Ya
After entering the Lingbo Hall and meeting Wei Jieyu’s mother and daughter, Wei Yan immediately noticed that something was wrong: “This year is the new year, Auntie Jieyu should be happy, why do you look sad instead?”
Wei Jieyu waved her hand, signaling the chamberlains to retire before smiling bitterly, “Ah Yan, you don’t know what happened in the Pepper Room Hall today, do you?
The Empress complimented Miss Ling Jiu’s intelligence in public, and hinted that she lacked someone to talk to and relieve her boredom, and wanted to call Miss Ling Jiu into the palace”
What?
Wei Yan’s face changed instantly!
His previous hunch was indeed correct
Empress Xu had no intention of letting Ling Jingshu go!
If Ling Jingshu really entered the Pepper Palace and arrived at Empress Xu’s side, she would undoubtedly be stepping into a dragon’s den with one foot, precariously What happened afterward?”
Wei Yan still held a trace of hope: “Did Ling Jingshu politely decline?”
Wei Jieyu let out a long sigh, “No
Not only did she not excuse herself, she even took the initiative to open her mouth and accept the matter”
Wei Yan’s heart steeply sank
Why did Ling Jingshu take the initiative to agree to enter the palace?
While others were not clear about Empress Xu’s true colors, Ling Jingshu knew everything
Knowing that it was a mountain of swords and fire, how did she still dare to come?At that time, in that situation, I couldn’t stop her even if I wanted to”
Wei Jieyu sighed, “I was afraid that Empress Xu would not be pleased if I said too much
So, I only said a few words to help
After the New Year’s Day, Empress Xu will call her to enter the palace as a female official, and she can also bring two maids with her
It’s also Empress Xu’s special favor”
Extraordinary favor?
All of this was just for show!
When Lv Zhu was in the Pepper Room Palace, why wasn’t she especially valued and favored?
When Empress Xu wanted her dead, there was never any hesitation!
Coldness flashed in Wei Yan’s eyes, his lips pursed tightly
Wei Jieyu saw him like this, heartache and reluctance: “A Yan, I know that you like her in your heart, can not afford to let her go to the palace to suffer
But the situation is stronger than others, have to bow down
Empress Xu has opened her mouth and will not allow her to refuse
If she excuses Empress Xu’s goodwill today in the Pepper Room Hall and refutes Empress Xu’s face, her future days will be even more difficult”
Princess Anya also opened her mouth to comfort, “Mother consort is right
Uncle, you don’t have to worry too much
With Mother Consort and I taking care of her, we won’t let her suffer”
The two of them, mother and daughter, had no idea of Empress Xu’s sinister intentions!
Wei Yan pushed down the tumultuous thoughts in his heart, squeezed out a smile, and nodded
