half volume

I have to say that entertaining princes and kings is really not a human job, especially when these are brothers who I don't know what kind of thoughts they have.For example, at the family banquet, Zhao Xin focused on sarcasm, Zhao Xiaocheng didn't know what he was thinking the whole time, Zhao Xiang was amiable and well-behaved, but the boy's keen intuition somehow told him that his elder brother was hiding a knife in his smile.Even though it was a family banquet, there were many princes, dukes and ministers. I don't know how many forces were involved in it, and there were many people waiting to see the young master's jokes.

Zhao Yan had no choice but to deal with it.

Zhao Yan didn't have a supper, nor did he chat with Xie Qing, so he really couldn't fall asleep.He thought nothing of the soup cup that was warming in Xie Qing's study, and he was almost certain that it was a supper that Xie Qing secretly kept for him.It is an ancient ritual that the emperor eats four meals a day, and the princes and nobles eat three meals a day.Zhao Yanzhi was not.He was in poor health when he was a child, and Zhao Jing felt sorry for his young son, and asked someone to stew milk and stew for him every night, and it became a habit over time.When Zhao Yanzhi grew up and his body became stronger, Zhao Jing was worried that he would not develop well, so even if he didn't eat supper, he always remembered to leave a portion for Zhao Yanzhi.This habit has been preserved until Zhao Yanzhi became an adult.Xie Qing treats himself harshly, but treats Zhao Yanzhi with indulgence, so now, Zhao Yanzhi can't sleep well if he doesn't eat something before going to bed.

Later, Zhao Yan only thought that he would have to entangle with his brothers who had different plans tomorrow, and finally fell asleep in a daze, and finally drank the soup in his dream.

Zhao Jing's health was not in good condition, and it was rare to see Gu Shenxing in the emperor's palace every day, and he must have been in a hurry and looked dignified when he saw him.Zhao Yanzhi was very curious about what the husband and his father were planning when they got together every day, but he was sent by his father to deal with his brother every day, and he was really powerless.

Speaking of which, after Zhao Jing recalled his three sons from the Fengguo for some reason known only to him, they only saw them once on the day they arrived in Beijing.Therefore, an incomprehensible sentence in the imperial edict "Sizi is eager" can be seen to be completely evasive.

In fact, it was just that after Mrs. Zhou's incident, Zhao Jing wanted to make the last effort, trying to let his sons regain a little bit of brotherhood. It's really not a good thing for the elder brother of the princes and kings who are heavily armed.

The 14-year-old prince supervised the country with a good appearance, and he was able to run the family with ease. Zhao Jing was quite pleased.As soon as he was in a better mood and his condition stabilized, Zhao Yanzhi, who was physically and mentally exhausted from the hard work and worry for the past few days, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and became more energetic in his work.

But God didn't intend to keep Zhao Jing's good mood going.

On this day, Zhao Yan only took advantage of the political affairs to accompany his father to have dinner as usual.He found that Zhao Jing was happy when he saw him, and he could eat a few more mouthfuls, so he has been eating three meals a day with his father recently.At this moment, Zhao Yanzhi was happily serving soup to his father, when a servant rushed in and whispered something to Zhao Yanzhi.

Zhao Yanzhi frowned when he heard this, and felt that Mr. Xu was a bit out of character in wanting to see him at this moment, so he waved his hand to the little servant, and ordered: "If there is anything, let him do it, what do you have to do if you want to see Gu. If you really can't be the master, you can't wait to finish this meal alone?" —— He knew in his heart that everything was peaceful now, and the only unstable factor was his brothers, but with his father still alive, they really dared to do something no?

Zhao Yanzhi, who wanted to understand, continued to maintain a cheerful expression to accompany his father to eat, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Zhao Jing saw it and thoughtfully said to his son: "I am full, if you are finished eating, go Let's do something."

Zhao Yan only saw that his father had eaten a lot today, so he didn't feel like eating, so he said a lot of things to please his father, promised to leave.

Zhao Jing smiled and shook his head at Gu Shenxing: "Sir, A Yuan is still a child after all."

However, Zhao Yanzhi did not come over for the afternoon meal, and the servant who sent the message said that the prince was tired and went back to rest first.Zhao Jing was a little disappointed, but he didn't take it seriously.

At this time, Zhao Yanzhi was sitting in front of Xie Qing's couch in a daze.He should have thought a long time ago that Mr. Xu has always handled things properly, if it was not an important matter, why would he bother him at that time?

poisoned.He hated to think, what kind of stern villain, dare not provoke him directly, but use such means to deal with the people around him.

When the imperial physician gave Xie Qing the medicinal soup to induce vomiting, Zhao Yan only watched the unconscious Xie Qing vomit again and again, until he vomited until his face lost all blood, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if it was because of his own incompetence , so that this person suffered such a crime.Otherwise, if he really ordered the world to kill, who would dare to attack the person on his heart?

The person on the apex.Zhao Yanzhi was taken aback by his own thought, but then he was relieved.He just wanted to keep this person in his heart, who would dare not allow it?

Xie Qing's lips were slightly blue, and Zhao Yan could not help rubbing them with his fingers, trying to feel a little warmth.The imperial doctor said that although Xie Qingzhong's poison was dangerous, but fortunately he was treated in time, and he was young and had a good foundation, so he could wake up today, so it was considered that there was no serious problem, and he just needed to take care of him in the future.

That's why Zhao Yan only finally recovered a bit of his backbone, obediently sat in front of Xie Qing's couch and waited for him to wake up.

Of course, he finally remembered to ask someone to guard Mr. Gu when he left the palace, and asked him to come to him quickly.

Gu Shenxing described that when he arrived wearily, he had already heard the ins and outs of the whole thing on the way.He didn't care as much as Zhao Yanzhi, and he was confused. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the whole thing was weird.

The most important question is, who will harm Xie Qing?Even if Xie Qing is harmed, what can that person gain?

Xie Qing is a kind man, he seldom argues with others on weekdays, and no one will hate him so much that he wants his life; although he was young and successful in his official career, he did not hinder other people's power; he is the concubine of the Xie family and has never been favored At most, Xie's family doesn't take him seriously, and no one thinks he's in the way.In short, it doesn't make sense for anyone to go to great lengths to kill Xie Qing.

If it was said that it was aimed at Zhao Yanzhi, it didn't seem like that at all.Although it is relatively easy to poison Xie Qing, it still takes a lot of trouble, not to mention that Zhao Yanzhi seldom eats with Xie Qing recently, whoever poisoned him is so blind to such great luck?Besides, how could he guarantee that Zhao Yanzhi would eat Xie Qing's food?

What Gu Shenxing saw at a glance was Zhao Yanzhi whose eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he sighed inwardly.He walked over, trying to pull Zhao Yanzhi out to talk, but Zhao Yanzhi refused to move no matter what.

Gu Shenxing was helpless: "Your Highness, don't disturb Huaifang."

Zhao Yanzhi still didn't move, but his voice was lowered: "Then sir, wait until he wakes up to talk about it, okay?"

Gu Shenxing made a serious face: "Not good. His Highness will not wake up faster if he stays here in Huaifang. It will benefit him if you listen to the minister's words."

Only then did Zhao Yanzhi reluctantly move outside the door.

"Have you ever thought about who did this, Your Highness? Why would they take such a big risk to poison a person who is not a threat?" Gu Shenxing said his speculation, and then found that Zhao Yanzhi still maintained a sluggish expression. expression, and from time to time anxiously looked around the room.

Gu Shenxing didn't know what to say.He had no choice but to bow his head in a solemn manner, assuming the posture of a gentleman.He thought that while Zhao Yanzhi was not yet the emperor, he could teach him a lesson every day, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to do such stupid things when he became emperor in the future.

"Your Highness, do you understand?"

After all, Gu Shenxing's prestige was still there, and Zhao Yanzhi, who was wandering in the sky, had to withdraw his thoughts for a while, but he didn't listen to a word of what Gu Shenxing and Yan Yuese said earlier, so he couldn't answer, and only two words came to mind for a while: " What?"

He wanted to bite his tongue off after he finished speaking.

"Why is your Highness in such a mess?" Gu Shenxing said with a look of hatred.

Zhao Yan only heard this sentence clearly.He felt that Mr. Gu was weird everywhere today, so it was obvious why he was out of order?What can I elaborate on?

Seeing Zhao Yanzhi looking at him with a strange expression, Gu Shenxing silently shed tears.He thought that his disciple, the emperor's mind, was too good at learning. Although he looked mature on the outside, he was still a child when he was around his family.

Still experienced less.

"Hundreds of years from now, Your Highness will be the co-lord of the world. No matter what happens, you should not mess up your position. Otherwise, what will you do?" Gu Shenxing said in a rather stern tone. "The emperor is the backbone of the people in the world. If you lose your sense of proportion, others will not know who to rely on."

"Sir, I'm just worried. Besides, isn't there a gentleman here?" Zhao Yanzhi obviously didn't have the energy to deal with Gu Shenxing, and tried to fool him with his handy coquetry.

His father dotes on him, Xie Qing indulges him, and Zhao Yanzhi has never experienced power struggles in the actual sense.Gu Shenxing sighed. Everyone hoped to pave the way for Zhao Yanzhi, but they never thought that if the prince of a country is always overprotected, who will he rely on to control the world one day?

"In this case, you don't have to wait for Huaifang to wake up; you might as well let him die." Gu Shenxing's tone was emotionless, "Don't think I'm too harsh. I won't be by your side one day, It is impossible for Huaifang to protect you forever. If one day I am gone and Huaifang is lying here like today, who do you ask him to count on? You are messing with your own position, and others can take advantage of you for no reason machine!"

Zhao Yanzhi's face turned pale instantly.

Gu Shenxing continued impatiently: "Don't you think that in the future you will be crowned a great treasure, if you are indecisive, who would dare to make the decision for you? In the end, the one who can make the decision for you may not be a good minister!"

Zhao Yanzhi was solemn. "Sir, it's a lonely one who doesn't choose what to say." He said and gave a salute.Gu Shenxing was quite satisfied with Zhao Yanzhi's reaction.He thought with relief, he is finally a smart kid, he can see through a little bit.

Zhao Yanzhi's servant, who stayed next to Xie Qing, hurried over, beaming with joy: "Your Highness, the young master has woken up."
