As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Jing's heart sank.

Originally, the mother's mother had already won a lot of favor in the harem recently, and the situation improved slightly, but it was not a good time to establish the crown prince. Now, the father will inevitably be biased towards the queen. The queen's clan is quite powerful. Once the position of crown prince is included in his bag, he can no longer act rashly.

The third prince was very worried and his face was not very good-looking. He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Jingtang next to him, but saw that the latter was not afraid and even quite leisurely.

A little stunned, Xuanyuan Jing reacted, recovered his calmness, and smiled and said, "My father is the health of my father. As for the crown prince, please be happy with your father."

The eldest prince chuckled: "The third emperor brother is really filial."

In front of me was Yujing Palace, Xiao Jingtang followed the two princes in and saluted them together.

The queen and Shufei were both there, and the emperor was leaning against the dragon couch, his face pale. When he saw them, he didn't say anything else, but asked, "Is Xiao Aiqing healthy?"

Everyone was beaten up, Xiao Jingtang stepped out and bowed, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, I am not seriously injured."

The man who was hit by a horse was now standing here, and the queen was angry when she saw it. She couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Mr. Xiao is so young and energetic, and she has a good body. She said she was dead a few days ago, but now she's still alive."

"Thank you for your concern." Xiao Jingtang bowed: "I have the emperor's kindness to protect you, and your life will be unhindered. Your Majesty has the dragon energy to protect your body, so I think you will be healthy and not hindered from your age."

Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help but lower his head and curled his lips.

Who said Xiao Jingtang couldn't speak? Look at the queen's words.

The queen was a little panicked and quickly lowered her head to explain to the emperor: "I am not saying that I am not healthy when I am old..."

"My Lady, please stop talking." Concubine Shu said gently: "The emperor is in his prime, how old is he? The old emperor gave birth to three princes at the age of my emperor."

The emperor glanced at the queen and said nothing. The queen shut up embarrassedly and gave a wink at the Marquis of Zhongguo beside her.

The Marquis of Zhongguo immediately made a name: "Your Majesty, the House of Commons mentioned the establishment of the crown prince before. Your Majesty is ill, which will lead to the instability of the country. You must also establish a crown prince earlier to calm the hearts of the people."

Frowning, the emperor didn't say anything, and there was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Xuanyuan Jing opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Xiao Jingtang gently pulled his sleeves, turned his head, and saw him shook his head.

Don’t you say it? But if you don’t say it now, what if the father really wants to establish a prince?

Concubine Shu was also a little anxious. There was a stalemate in the hall. Unexpectedly, she heard the eunuch outside: "The Emperor Wuhou asked for a meeting."

"Prince."

Lou Dongfeng walked in slowly, his face looking even worse than the emperor on the sickbed. He knelt down and bowed, his voice was not warm: "I wish you a blessing to the emperor."

"Get up quickly." When I saw him like this, the emperor was a little surprised: "What's wrong with me? Are you sick?"

"Go back to your Majesty, I am not at hindrance." I stood up and said, "It's just that Changlin's army has had abnormal movements recently. I have asked repeatedly. It is said that it was the emperor's will to let Changlin's army move to Xingcheng. Now Changlin's army has crossed Xingcheng and moved closer to Shuicheng. I am really puzzled what I want to do, so I came to ask the emperor for instructions."

Changlin is the fief of the Marquis of Zhongguo, so Changlin's army is naturally the Marquis of Zhongguo. In fact, there is no need to alarm Your Majesty for such a small-scale army. You can communicate in private, but unexpectedly, Lou Dongfeng did not eat the soft and hard way and directly stabbed him in front of him.

Since ancient times, the king was very suspicious. When he heard this, the emperor's face was not very good. He turned to look at the Marquis of Zhongguo: "What are you doing?"

A cold sweat broke out behind him, and the Hou of Zhongguo hurriedly said, "I just heard that there were bandits in Shuicheng that were in chaos, and the local troops were not strong. The magistrate of Shuicheng County had a personal relationship with me, so I borrowed some of his troops to eliminate the harm to the people."

This reason is reasonable, but it is also a bit absurd. The emperor smiled: "Your dear said just now, do you want to establish a crown prince?"

While talking about establishing the crown prince, they put their troops close to the capital. What does this mean? Once the eldest prince is established, they will force the palace?

"...My." Sweat was on his forehead, and the Marquis of Zhongguo was in a dilemma and could only shake his body and remain silent.

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly said, "This is not what the Marquis of Zhongguo wants to establish a crown prince, but it is proposed by the old ministers of the House of Commons."

"The old ministers of the House of Commons are really concerned about the country." Concubine Shu said resentfully: "Your Majesty is frightened and sick. If they don't come to pay their respects, they will think about becoming the crown prince first. What's the point of being An?"

"Emperor." Xiao Jingtang bowed: "I have sent people to investigate the haunted things in the palace yesterday, but... the dragon energy in the palace is shrouded in the dragon energy, and the masters who do the rituals say that they have no ghost energy."

It’s not done by ghosts, it’s done by humans.

The emperor lowered his eyes and said tiredly: "Xiao Aiqing will continue to investigate. If the truth is revealed, I will have a great reward. You all go down, I will have a rest."

"Yes." The queen frowned and was unwilling to leave, but she heard the emperor say, "Concubine Shu stayed to serve."

Why? The queen was unhappy and turned around and stamped her feet: "Master?"

Ignoring her, the emperor turned around and closed his eyes. Concubine Shu sat by the bed and looked at her with a smile.

What is this? The queen was stunned and left the Yujing Palace and couldn't figure it out for a long time.

"Has this palace fallen out of favor?" she asked the eldest prince.

Xuanyuan Li frowned: "Why did he lose favor?"

"Yes, I want to know why I fell out of favor." After murmured twice, the queen said in confusion: "I don't know when it started, Your Majesty has preferred Concubine Shu more. Whenever I have time, I will go to her palace to sit. Your Majesty doesn't care much about what I say."

With a serious expression, Xuanyuan Li said, "My mother still has to spend some time with her father. No matter how I fight with the third emperor, the final decision will be in the hands of her father."

"I understand."

Understand it means understanding, but what should I do?

Xuanyuan Jing and Xiao Jingtang left the palace all the way. In order to avoid suspicion, Lou Dongfeng left first. Looking at his back, Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with the Marquis? He was like a soul-lost."

Xiao Jingtang shook his head: "I don't know about it."

Maybe it was because the soul was really lost, but the reason was still there and I knew what I should do. But after doing it... I was afraid I would be in vain.

The Emperor Wuhou, who pursues status throughout his life, will always get everything and will never get anything.

"By the way, I heard from my mother that she recognized Du Wenrou as her goddaughter." Xuanyuan Jing looked sideways: "What do you think?"

With his lips curled slightly, Xiao Jingtang bowed: "I have no objection."
