faint [rebirth]

"As for the hands, keep them as clean as possible."

Xiao Wuchen didn't expect Xiao Junye to say these words, he was stunned for a while, then he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then there will be Uncle Lao."

He knows that his health is not good, and in his heart, he also roughly understands that his health was not good in the previous life. Apart from the many efforts he put in to be a good prince, he was too thoughtful and spent too much money at that time. Concentrating too much on how to be a good prince and dealing with those who covet the reserve also made his body feel more and more sad.

And now is the time for his body to grow, Xiao Wuchen couldn't help thinking in his heart, if he can take care of his body in the past few years, will he get rid of the sickness in his previous life in the future? ?He doesn't want to be able to eat and drink like ordinary people, ride horses through the streets, and play wantonly. He just wants to eat less medicinal juice and walk under the sun every day instead of being entangled in sick beds every day. The scenery that can only be seen through the window is enough.

Xiao Wuchen was distracted, but Xiao Junye suddenly squeezed Xiao Wuchen's hand, calling Xiao Wuchen back from his distraction.

"Uncle?" Xiao Wuchen looked at him puzzled.

Xiao Junye deeply hated why he couldn't control himself, but he really followed his wish and pinched it, and said expressionlessly: "Xiaochen hasn't said yet, whether he wants the life of the Eighth Prince."

Xiao Wuchen didn't think much about it.In his previous life, he was used to Xiao Junye's serious planning for him with a straight face. Hearing this and thinking for a moment, he said: "Life is all that matters. After all, it seems that the father doesn't like him very much, but the father After all, it is the emperor, if it is based on the emperor's mind, the father does not like him, it is really planning for him."

Xiao Wuchen paused for a while before saying: "Let's save his life for now."

No matter how Shen Shi and Xiao Wutan plotted against him in the previous life, no matter how much he wanted to kill the grass, but the father cherished him and cherished him, Xiao Wuchen could not want Xiao Wutan when the father was still there. life.

Since the father would plan for him and pretend not to care about the eighth prince, then he should also plan for the father and save the life of the eighth prince for the time being.

Although Xiao Junye felt that the eighth prince, even if he died, Emperor Chengguang, as an emperor, would be limited even if he could be sad, but seeing that Xiao Wuchen cared so much about Emperor Chengguang, he didn't object when he heard it, saying: "Then just let His appearance will be damaged. As for his life..." He paused for a while, and then said, "Smallpox is dangerous, even if we don't take action here, whether he can survive can only depend on God's will."

Xiao Wuchen didn't care much when he heard the words.

"Then it depends on God's will."

After the two continued, they refused to talk about Concubine Shen and the Eighth Prince's mother and son, but talked about Xiao Wuchen's team.

Since Xiao Junye planned to be the prince from now on, he naturally had to find out all the people around the prince, knowing that those people would not only listen to the prince, but also listen to him, then he would be at ease.

And for Xiao Wuchen, if he entrusts someone he trusts to Xiao Junye, and let Xiao Junye help him watch over and teach him, he will naturally feel more at ease.

The two had different thoughts in their hearts, but what they did next was quite consistent.

Xiao Wuchen felt happy in his heart, he only felt that he would finally trust the emperor uncle in this life, it must be the most correct decision he made.

And the joy in Xiao Junye's heart is even more indescribable - he is aware of his shortcomings, and he usually looks like he doesn't like to fight for power, but if he really wants to fight for power, then he must hold power tightly in his hands.As for Xiao Wuchen... Xiao Junye is already trying to restrain his urge to control.It's just that nature is nature, and no matter how restrained he is, he can't help showing something.

Xiao Junye was afraid that he would scare Xiao Wuchen, and was at a loss at first, but before he could do anything, Xiao Wuchen had already regarded him as the most trusted person, and handed everything in his hands into his hands.

Although on the surface it seems that Xiao Wuchen is making him do things, but if you think about it carefully, why didn't Xiao Wuchen give him the opportunity to control most of the people around him?

And once he had such an opportunity and power... Xiao Junye's heart suddenly jumped up, he thought, even if there was a difference between the monarch and his ministers, even if there was an obstacle to ethics, the desire in his heart would never stop.

However, this is probably not his fault.

Xiao Junye was tired of painting and talking, leaning on his chin and blinking his peach blossom eyes at the young man outside the window, thinking, this is the young man who indulged him.

Yes, it must be so.

Leaving aside Xiao Junye's thoughts for the time being, the Eighth Prince's smallpox became more and more serious after a few days.

In the small Buddhist hall, Concubine Shen cried in the morning and at night, but in the end, she was not afraid of the severe cold, and knelt in the courtyard day and night in the direction of Emperor Chengguang's bedroom, only begging that Emperor Chengguang would be lenient and let She went back to look after her prince.

That was her only support.

As for Wei Yanghou's mansion, Wei Yanghou and Mrs. Wei Yanghou had already started worrying about the eighth prince in the palace when their youngest daughter was diagnosed with smallpox.It’s just that although smallpox is contagious, but if you think about it carefully, my youngest daughter only played with the eighth prince when smallpox had not yet developed, and the so-called play of little boys and girls was just standing in the yard or throwing pots or feeding them. It's just a fish. After doing the calculations like this, the couple felt that it was unlikely that the eighth prince would be infected by the youngest daughter.After all, their youngest daughter spends more time with her older brother, who would get sick, so the eighth prince would be lucky if he had his own destiny.

It's just one thing to think so in his heart, but according to the rules, Wei Yanghou hurried to the palace to plead guilty to Emperor Chengguang.

The Eighth Prince had no symptoms at that time, and Wei Yanghou did not intend to do so, so Emperor Chengguang naturally did not blame him.

What made Wei Yanghou and Mrs. Wei Yanghou's heart suddenly chill was that when Emperor Chengguang heard about this, he immediately isolated the eighth prince from the rest of the people, and then directly ordered the prince not to drag his sick body to visit.

If Emperor Chengguang is just like this, the husband and wife may not feel much about it, but next, although Wei Yanghou and Mrs. Wei Yanghou have official business, they still have to take time to see their youngest daughter every day, so that the youngest daughter cannot If you think they don’t love her anymore, look at the Eighth Prince’s place. After the Eighth Prince’s illness, Emperor Chengguang only sent palace servants and imperial physicians to take care of the Eighth Prince according to the rules. Concubine Shen in the Buddhist hall went to look after the eighth prince.

The poor Eighth Prince is a three-year-old child, who can only suffer alone in the palace.

Every time Wei Yanghou and his wife think of this, they feel cold in their hearts, and they only feel that the holy will is unpredictable.

However, although they complained, they really didn't dare to look for Emperor Chengguang or the prince.

After discussing for a while, the couple decided to look for the old lady of the Hou Mansion—the prince could deny his uncle or his aunt, but he couldn't deny his grandmother.

"...Whether it's a younger sister, a son or a daughter-in-law, even if it's selfish, it's for the sake of allowing the Marquis Mansion to inherit for a few more generations, so that the descendants of the Shen family can gain a firm foothold in the Daxing Dynasty from generation to generation... Son The daughter-in-law is at fault. If the mother wants to beat or scold her, the son and daughter-in-law will never dare to complain! But now, the eighth prince is dying, and the younger sister is living in a small Buddhist hall. There are only a group of palace people around the eighth prince to take care of him Now, how can those palace people be willing to take good care of them without anyone watching them? The eighth prince would not have to die at such a young age.

But the prince misunderstood the younger sister and his son, and had a rift with the younger sister, and now he is unwilling to see his son, let alone speak kindly in front of His Majesty, to let the younger sister out of the small Buddhist hall, and he himself is unwilling to take care of the sick The only younger brother among them.The son is unfilial, and the younger sister is also at fault, but the child is innocent, and the eighth prince is so young, what fault is there?The son also begged his mother to enter the palace and ask the prince for help. He must let the younger sister take care of the eighth prince personally! "

Wei Yanghou and Mrs. Wei Yanghou knelt side by side, their faces were full of tears, with expressions of mourning and regret.

The old lady didn't like this at all, she dropped the teacup when she heard the words, and said in a cold voice: "Nie Zi! It's already at this time, obviously the crown prince is weak, it is not suitable to visit the eighth prince, obviously His Majesty has already ordered , don’t allow the prince to run around, but you still have the guts to talk to the prince, son of a bitch, you are so courageous! You are so ambitious!"

The old lady is really anxious now, not only dropped the teacup, but also threw the rest of the things on the case table at Wei Yanghou one by one!

"As for you saying that the Crown Prince misunderstood the Hou Mansion and Concubine Shen? Oh, misunderstanding? You still have the face to say these words? Could it be that you still don't understand what King Zhao did in the East Palace? Could it be that King Zhao has dealt with people in the East Palace? Afterwards, Your Majesty imprisoned the concubines of the harem and the Queen Mother together in the small Buddhist hall. You still don’t understand? Also, the crown prince refused to see you. Your Majesty only allowed the imperial physician and palace staff to take care of the eighth prince. You really can’t figure it out at all. Is there any intention?" The old lady was so angry that she began to gasp, "You are so confused, so confused!"

How could Wei Yanghou be really confused?

He was confused before, but he just didn't want to think about it.Now, hearing the blow from her mother, she suddenly said: "What mother means is that when King Zhao dealt with the people in the Eastern Palace, His Majesty and the crown prince already knew about their son and younger sister... No, how is this possible? How is this possible? Your Majesty loves the crown prince so much, If he really knew about this matter, how could he only imprison the younger sister and not do anything to the Marquis of Weiyang..."

After Wei Yanghou finished speaking, he suddenly got stuck.

Mrs. Wei Yanghou murmured at the side: "Because the Hou family is the mother family of the eighth prince, and also the mother family of the crown prince. Moreover, the former queen always loved Lord Hou and was filial to her mother..."

The couple finally came to their senses and understood the key point, they both knelt down and begged the old lady.

"Mother, how can the foundation of the Hou Mansion be cut off at the hands of the son? Son, son..." Wei Yanghou cried bitterly, "The son is unfilial, if the foundation of the Hou Mansion is really cut off because of the son, the son might as well go to the ancestors to plead guilty! "

Mrs. Wei Yanghou also said: "Regardless of life or death, my concubine only wishes to serve Lord Marquis by my side."

The old lady didn't want to watch the two play anymore, so she closed her eyes and said, "Get up soon. The eighth prince is only three years old now, and you know what you have done. You never thought that you would take it away immediately." The position of the crown prince is just to make the crown prince unstable and unhealthy, so that the prince will die early in the future or have no heirs, and then he will be passed on to the eighth prince."

The old lady didn't even look at the horrified expressions of the couple, she just continued: "Although there are traces of what you have done, there is no evidence. Your Majesty and the crown prince look at the face of the former empress, at least for now, You won’t treat me at all, so don’t pretend to be ignorant.” Then he sighed, “As for the Eighth Prince… If His Majesty wants it, it depends on God’s will, so, it depends on God’s will to kill him , or let him live."

Wei Yanghou was silent, and Mrs. Wei Yanghou said sadly: "But mother, have you forgotten? The eighth prince's smallpox was infected by our girl! If the eighth prince is alive, he will be safe and sound, but, the eighth prince If the prince is dead, then...even if His Majesty doesn't love the Eighth Prince, how could he not be angry with the Marquis Mansion? Besides, the five kings seized the throne back then, which must have made His Majesty extremely regretful. Perhaps what His Majesty really wants to see now is not Is the prince disregarding his brother's life and death, but the real brotherhood?"

"I beg my mother to show mercy, and besides cherishing the prince, also cherish the eighth prince a little more!"

The old lady opened her cloudy eyes and sighed deeply.

She only wanted the eighth prince to die, so that the Hou family could follow the prince wholeheartedly.

It's a pity... Although her daughter-in-law is stupid in major matters, her words now are not unreasonable.

Your Majesty, you are old after all.Back then, His Majesty could watch the six sons fight with their lives for that position indifferently, but now, what he wants to see may not be the same as back then.
