Ji Yan did not take any action for a long time, and the people from the Dali Temple still did not come again, but the people in the Prince's Mansion began to panic.

Because they discovered that the prince's condition was not just "last breath", his condition was really getting better.

If the prince didn't die, what would they do in the prince's mansion?

The emperor's sympathy for the prince will soon disappear, which will give Ji Yan and Xiao Hengshan an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They are both people who have grudges against the prince.

Even if the crown prince is seriously ill and will not be summoned to the Dali Temple, it is hard to say what will happen to other people in the palace, especially the staff.

Half of them were involved in the case of the deposed crown prince.

They originally thought that they could rest easy and that once the crown prince ascended the throne, they would be able to rise to prominence. But who knew...

His Majesty really has a long life!

The emperor's longevity may be due to his mother, the Empress Dowager, who is still in good health.

Su Xun was the first to think of this, but he did not dare to instigate the Crown Princess to kill the Crown Prince.

and so……

Su Xun was thinking about going out to meet Luo Qiongchuan and ask about the King of Qi's current plans.

Also, he didn't want to go back to the Prince's Mansion.

His Majesty has many children. Even if the Crown Prince dies peacefully, the dethronement of the Crown Prince cannot be overturned, and the throne will most likely not fall to the Crown Prince's grandson.

In this case, what future does he have?

It is better to make plans early, just like a wise bird chooses a tree to roost in.

……

Inside the palace.

The emperor had no intention of handling official business. Looking at the mountain of memorials on the dragon desk, he felt even more annoyed.

Eunuch Qu stood aside, not daring to breathe, having no idea when the emperor would suddenly lose his temper.

In the past two days, His Majesty's mood has been extremely unstable and his mood has been unpredictable.

Yesterday, Eunuch De was beaten with ten boards just for handing over a wrong pen. He was not allowed to rest even after being beaten. He waited outside the palace early this morning and did not even have a sip of water.

As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and it is absolutely true.

"Hasn't there been any news from the Prince's Mansion yet?"

When His Majesty's dissatisfied voice sounded, Eunuch Qu knelt on the ground skillfully: "Your Majesty, I will go and ask now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately crawled out.

After a while, Eunuch De limped in, knelt on the ground with gritted teeth, and gasped in pain, but still respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, the door of the Prince's Mansion is still closed, and there is no other news. However, according to Judge Qiu, His Highness's condition has improved..."

If the Crown Princess had not asked Princess Jiahe to leave the house, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might have recovered faster.

However, Eunuch De did not dare to say the following words, because he knew very well that... this was not what His Majesty wanted to hear.

After hearing what Eunuch De said, the emperor's eyes flashed with anger, but he did not vent his anger. Instead, he asked:

"Where are Ji Yan and Dali Temple?"

"Master Ji was drinking tea in the Dali Temple and didn't talk to anyone. Master Xiao and the others in the Dali Temple were handling things step by step. No one paid attention to the Crown Prince's Mansion..."

It's not normal.

But unfortunately, this is the situation now.

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly laughed.

Ji Yan, Ji Yan, you are really an old fox!

Eunuch De and Eunuch Qu, who came in later and was kneeling, felt a chill all over their bodies when they heard the emperor's creepy laughter. They had no idea what the emperor was laughing at.

The emperor's creepy laughter lasted for a long time before it gradually died down. A hint of determination flashed across his sinister eyes.

Yuqi, you didn't seize the opportunity, so you can't blame your father for not favoring you this time...
