"You know?" Sui Lin was surprised.

Fu Ming rubbed his earlobe deeply and said calmly: "It's just some insignificant speculations. There is no need to taint His Highness's ears."

Sui Lin narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Do Sui Yunjing and your mother and concubine know each other?"

A trace of panic appeared on Fu Mingchen's face: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

I don't know if it was because Sui Lin discovered something he tried so hard to hide, or because Sui Lin called Sui Yunjing by his first name.

Sui Lin threatened: "Your Highness?"

Fu Mingchen immediately changed his words: "A Lin."

Sui Lin nodded with satisfaction: "So, what's the answer to the question just now?"

Fu Mingchen lowered his head as if in deep thought. After a while he said, "I can confirm that the concubine has nothing to do with that person."

This was the first time that he did not use the honorific title for Sui Yunjing.

"Father said that I am very similar to my mother-in-law. Maybe that person is missing something through me, but I really have nothing to do with him. First of all, the queen..."

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of the right words and paused without embarrassment.

Sui Lin laughed: "The mother's matter has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with the princess. You don't have to blame yourself."

Fu Mingchen was silent.

Sui Lin changed the subject: "What do you think he is missing through you?"

"Yeah." Fu Mingchen frowned with a strange expression, "He always stares at me in a daze."

After the words fell, Fu Mingchen turned his head uncomfortably. He was really embarrassed to say such words.

Sui Lin: "..."

Relevant images appeared in his mind at the right time. Sui Yunjing's old face stared at Fu Mingchen intently, and he suddenly felt sick.

An old immortal actually used his person as a substitute, and a breath of bad breath caught in his chest and made him feel like a lump in his throat.

He played with Fu Mingchen's hand, his eyes were cold.

After getting the answer he wanted, Sui Lin probably understood that Sui Yunjing probably only had unrequited love for Fu Mingchen's mother and concubine.

But just because of unrequited love, could Fu Mingchen be treated so well?

He doesn't believe it.

Sui Yunjing might have some dirty thoughts hidden in his heart.

The more I think about it, the longer this nausea lingers in my heart.

Sui Lin simply put aside these messy things for the time being, fell into Fu Mingchen's arms and closed his eyes. After a while, he turned over: "I'm hungry."

He hasn't eaten since last night, not to mention that he exercised a lot last night.

Fu Mingchen happened to avoid those topics on purpose, and said "hmm": "I'll hurry up."

In the next few days, the two of them did ridiculous things day and night.

It wasn't until it was time to go to work the next day that Suilin's brain became clearer, and he felt that the happy time passed too quickly.

*

The matter of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was very involved. In just a few days, Dali Temple only found out that he had a lot of assets in his name.

But when asked where the valuable jewelry and silver came from, the Minister of Household Affairs remained silent.

Suiheng was involved in the situation, and the people in Dali Temple did not dare to torture the old man for a while.

Things seemed to be at a standstill.

Within the Ministry of Household Affairs, even though the Minister of Finance was in charge, he was still cautious and did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

He was waiting and watching. If Suiheng could really keep the minister, it would be most appropriate for him to do nothing.

When Sui Lin was thinking about how to pull these people out of the carrots and mud, Fu Shiqi happened to come back from the southern border.

Also brought some bad news.

After the assassination in the hunting ground, Sui Yunjing gave him the power to investigate whether the deduction of military pay was true.

He was probably convinced that Sui Lin couldn't do it, so he let Sui Lin take over with peace of mind.

He used the excuse that the facts were unclear to refuse further funding to the border. After all, various expenditures in the capital were also indispensable.

In desperation, Sui Lin could only ask Fu Shiqi to take the money he had saved to deal with the emergency first.

Now that he had just returned, his face was filled with unstoppable fatigue. Before he could catch his breath, Fu Shiqi knelt on the ground and spoke directly: "Your Highness, Nanzhao suddenly caused trouble at the border. It was a small team that massacred him at first. A whole village.”

"They were few in number. When Daxia's army arrived, they all evacuated and took the opportunity to massacre another village."

"After succeeding twice, they retreated to Nanzhao's territory and never came out again. General Yu sent envoys to Nanzhao for negotiations, but the envoys were beheaded by Nanzhao people, and their bodies were hung on the city gate to demonstrate to us. .”

At the end of the year, he couldn't help but become serious. Why did Nanzhao suddenly launch an attack at this time?

Although Nanzhao had always been dissatisfied with Daxia, it had to succumb to the powerful national power and even had to pay tribute to Daxia every year.

Counting the time, it was almost time for their visit.

Could it be that because he couldn't hand over the tribute items, he just refused to do the other thing and just went against it?

While thinking, Xiao Hei burst out crying: [Sir, I'm sorry, I'm so derelict in my duty. It was Suiheng who colluded with the Nanzhao people. He negotiated terms with the Nanzhao people, and the Nanzhao people helped him get the position. He They will be exempted from Nanzhao's tribute regulations and will also give them a lot of money. 】

Sui Lin: [? 】

【When did this happen? 】

[After returning from Tongzhou, he stayed at home and was busy working on this matter. 】

Sui Lin touched his head: "Don't panic, we were still in Tongzhou at that time. The distance was too far, so it's not your problem." 】

Xiao Hei was so moved: [Sir 555, you are so kind, but what should we do now? 】

How to do?

Sui Lin sneered.

The fact that Sui Heng could do such a thing meant that he was at the end of his rope. Like Sui Yunjing, he couldn't let go of his own face or power.

But if he fails for a moment, he can collude with the enemy country and persecute his own people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a person should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

What's more, where did he get the confidence that Nanzhao would not push further after supporting him in power?

But the more anxious Suiheng became, the more flaws were exposed. Sui Lin narrowed his eyes. This time, he must be killed with one blow.

But now that there is such a big problem at the border, I am afraid that Sui Yunjing will take the opportunity to harm the Yu family.

This was probably part of Suiheng's calculations. Compared to Nanzhao, the barbarian army in the north was clearly more powerful.

But he chose Nanzhao, clearly wanting to catch them all together with Sui Lin.

This person really doesn't have a long memory.

It is clear that several plans have ended in failure, but he still wants to reach the sky in one step, and is not afraid that his steps will fall too far and cause trouble.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing." Fu Shiqi spoke again, recalling Sui Lin's thoughts.

"You said."

"The messenger army at the border will arrive in the capital tomorrow. Your Highness, please prepare in advance."

Sui Lin nodded: "I understand. What did you find out about the governor of Shu?"

"My subordinates are incompetent and no evidence has been found. However, the governor and the local magistrate have a close relationship. They are colluding. I am afraid they are all his people."

Sui Lin curled his lips, not too surprised.

Suiheng had no military power, so he could only stretch his hand a little longer.

After Fu Shiqi left, Sui Lin thought for a long time and suddenly looked at Xiao Hei: [Xiao Hei, create some trouble for Sui Yunjing. 】

Xiao Hei raised his head from the pile of snacks: [Make sure to complete the task. 】

At night, a dark shadow left the Third Prince's Mansion and jumped into the palace at a speed like flying.

*

When the court went to court the next day, news of the messenger army was indeed introduced into the court, and everyone was once again in chaos because of the urgent military intelligence report from the southern border.

Shen Hanzhang was the first to speak at Suiheng's signal: "Your Majesty, Nanzhao has always respected Daxia, how could he suddenly do such a thing? He must have been stimulated by something!"

The Minister of Rites suddenly became angry: "Fart, everyone can clearly see the intentions of Nanzhao's thieves. The time for paying tribute is coming soon. They must be dissatisfied with me, Daxia."

This was to say that Shen Hanzhang was no longer a human being. He snorted coldly: "The tradition of paying tribute has been going on for decades. If you are dissatisfied, why is it just breaking out now?"

"Is this your first day in the imperial court? The Nanzhao monarch is different, so his attitude towards me, Daxia, is naturally different."

"The king of Nanzhao is still in office. How come he was fine last year but changed his mind this year?"

"Hmph, after all, you just want to say that General Yu, who is guarding the southern border, has driven the Nanzhao people into panic. You would rather excuse the Nanzhao people than slander General Yu. What are you thinking?"

"You!" Shen Hanzhang choked.

Sui Yunjing's dissatisfaction with the Yu family was tacitly acknowledged by everyone, but if he openly expressed his dissatisfaction, he would be suspected of trying to figure out the holy will.

Shen Hanzhang would never dare to bear this charge.

Everyone was arguing for a long time, but Sui Yunjing made no sound.

Everyone looked up and saw Sui Yunjing sitting in the upper seat with bags under his eyes and a drowsy look. Listening to the chaotic noise below, he just rubbed his eyebrows.

Someone finally noticed something was wrong with Sui Yunjing, and bravely asked, "The emperor's dragon body is in trouble. Should we discuss the matter in the south later?"

After many days, Suiheng finally appeared in the hall again. He snorted heavily and accused the person who asked the question: "My father has always been diligent in his work. Are you questioning my father's ability?"

The person who asked the question was confused. He couldn't hold such a big hat, and said in fear: "I don't dare."

Sui Heng was about to say something, but Sui Yunjing waved his hand. Just as he was about to say something, his body suddenly swayed and he fell straight down from the dragon chair.

"emperor--"

Everyone said in unison.

Sui Yunjing's personal eunuch was also shocked and hurriedly helped Sui Yunjing up.

Fu Mingchen immediately stepped forward to stabilize the situation and asked everyone to disperse for the day. Then he asked people to carry Sui Yunjing back to the palace and called the imperial doctor.

Sui Heng was originally planning to severely suppress the Yu family, but when an unexpected situation happened, he didn't react until Sui Yunjing was carried away.

He gritted his teeth, wondering why this old man didn't fall down sooner or later, but he fell down at the most critical moment.

He would really lose his temper.

As princes, Sui Lin and Sui Heng naturally had to follow him to see the situation.

However, Sui Heng just glanced at Sui Lin with a sad look, turned around and headed towards Liu Qingli Palace.

Sui Lin looked at his leaving figure, silently withdrew his gaze, turned around and entered Sui Yunjing's bedroom.

Xiao Hei shook his head triumphantly: [My lord, am I very powerful? 】

Sui Lin said: "What did you do?" 】

[Hey, I used your nightmare seeds to prevent him from waking up, and then poured ice water on him for most of the night. 】

Sui Lin: [……]

Good guy, the living king of hell is alive.

Speechlessly, he still activated the nightmare seeds.

[But my lord, this is not the fault of my cat. There are other toxins in his body. 】

Sui Lin smacked his lips. It seemed that Suiheng's progress was not slow either. The chronic poison had an effect so quickly.

The imperial doctors were so worried that they took turns checking the pulse, but in the end they only diagnosed wind-cold.

As for why they still get cold in summer, they are also at a loss.

Oh, Suiheng really has two brushes, and he got the poison that cannot be detected.

Noticing Sui Lin's hunched shoulders, Fu Mingshen said with a cold expression, "Look more carefully. How could His Majesty's body of so much gold fall down due to a little wind and cold?"

The excitement at the end of the year is even greater.

No matter how many times they diagnosed him, all the doctors could only diagnose him with wind-cold, which made him feel extremely bitter.

Why are you still looking forward to getting seriously ill?

Sui Lin took the initiative to take over the right to speak: "Since it is wind-cold, let's prescribe a prescription for wind-cold."

"Yes." The doctors breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pushed down the medicine.

Fu Mingchen then looked at Sui Lin: "What did Your Highness just think of?"

Sui Lin blinked: "My father is ill, and I think of the pain I felt when I was sick, and I feel sorry for my father."

"Your Highness's filial piety is commendable. If Your Majesty knew about it, he would be pleased."

The coming of age means something meaningful: “I hope so.”

*

When night falls, Sui Yunjing wakes up.

Sui Heng had just arrived when Sui Yunjing woke up and approached the bed with a look of tears in his eyes.

"Father, why are you suddenly sick? I'm really worried."

Sui Yunjing's eyes were dull for a long time, then he turned his head and looked at Sui Heng: "Heng'er, if you have this kind of heart, I am satisfied."

After saying that, he continued to lie down in a daze.

Sui Lin looked at his appearance thoughtfully. Could it be that he was dreaming and was stupid?

Xiao Hei gnawed potato chips: [Sir, what dream did you make him have? 】

[Isn’t it interesting to have a dream in which I feel that I am sick, but everyone thinks that I am not sick? 】

Xiao Hei didn't understand, but he stopped talking when he asked Suilin again.

Sui Lin smiled silently before Sui Yunjing, wasn't Sui Yunjing suspicious? Let him continue to doubt himself because of his suspicion.

A strange color flashed in Fu Ming's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Suiheng asked again: "Father, I don't know how you want to deal with the Nanzhao matter."

The malice in his eyes was so full that it was about to overflow. Unfortunately, Sui Yunjing only stared at the top of the bed curtain and had no intention of paying attention to Sui Heng.

After a while, Suiheng asked again.

Finally, Sui Yunjing coughed twice and slowly raised his hand: "Ming Chen, Ming Chen."

Fu Mingchen stepped forward.

Sui Yunjing seemed to want to hold his hand, but Fu Mingshen avoided it without leaving a trace.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to say?"

The light in Sui Yunjing's eyes dimmed: "Ming Chen, you will be fully responsible for Nanzhao matters."

Before Fu Mingchen could speak, Suiheng suddenly shouted: "Father, what nonsense are you talking about."

However, Sui Yunjing ignored him at all and stared at Fu Mingchen.

Fu Mingchen was a little stunned. Thinking that Suilin was behind him, he subconsciously refused: "Your Majesty, I am not suitable."

"If I say you can, you can. As for the second child." Sui Yunjing glared at him, "If you were half as calm as Ming and Shen, how could I not give you a chance?"

Sui Heng gritted his teeth, veins popped out on the back of his hands, and finally kowtowed to Sui Yunjing unwillingly: "Father taught you a lesson."
