Hold His Hand

The emperor didn't wake up, Xie Chengze and King Rui stayed in the palace, waiting for the emperor to wake up.

Xie Chengze had been asked by Lu Yanzhou every day to pay attention to his body, but at this time he was a little tired, so he had someone move a stool over and sit and wait.

When he was young, he didn't get along with his father very much, and he only met during the festivals. After he was in custody, he sent memorials from time to time, and he met his father more often, but every time it was unpleasant.

His father never liked him.

But this man was his father.

Xie Chengze was in a very complicated mood at the moment.

Xie Chengze sat motionless in his seat, but King Rui was different. He paced back and forth, restless.

If his father died and Xie Chengze ascended the throne, what would happen to him?

Over the years, he and his mother-in-law have caused Xie Chengze a lot of trouble!

Not long after his father ascended the throne, he killed his brother. Would Xie Chengze also want to kill him?

Although the imperial physicians couldn't see what happened to the emperor, they had been trying to find a way to treat him, and they didn't know if the treatment had any effect. The emperor finally woke up at midnight.

When he woke up, his eyes were crooked, and his speech was unclear.

After he woke up, he quickly realized his condition, and he did not hesitate to ask the Taoist priests who had given him medicine these days: "I will... torture them! !"

The confidant immediately took the order, and the emperor tossed and asked the imperial physician to cure him.

But he is like this, how can the imperial doctor cure him?

All the imperial physicians were obedient to their promises, but they could not give a precise word.

The emperor was furious, and everyone could only kneel.

Today, Xie Chengze was a little tired because he was going to preside over the palace exam.

But even so, you should kneel or kneel.

No one dared to do anything against the emperor at the head.

It's just that Xie Chengze was already pushing hard, and the emperor suddenly said: "Prince, you...you are not sincere...kneel outside!"

Xie Chengze was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, Father."

King Rui was a little proud when he saw this, but he didn't want the emperor to follow him: "You...you go too!"

King Rui was helpless and was finally driven out the door.

Xie Chengze felt guilty, and he knelt inside before, but when he came outside, he stopped supporting, he pretended to faint before kneeling for a while, and went back to the East Palace.

He's dying, so he might as well do whatever he wants.

Lu Yanzhou had been waiting in the East Palace, and when he saw Xie Chengze being carried back, he was startled: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Xie Chengze wanted to get up: "I'm fine."

"Don't move!" Lu Yanzhou said quickly, giving Xie Chengze a pulse.

Xie Chengze is all right, his pulse is very abnormal!

Lu Yanzhou immediately sent someone to boil the medicine.

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in surprise. He thought that if such a thing happened, Lu Yanzhou would be more concerned about the situation in the palace. As a result, Lu Yanzhou focused on him as usual, and didn't ask a word about the affairs in the palace.

"Would you like to sit up?" Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze looking at him immediately.

People with heart problems are sometimes more comfortable sitting than lying down.

Xie Chengze nodded, and Lu Yanzhou immediately helped him get up: "You rest for a while."

Xie Chengze said: "In the palace..."

"Don't worry about things in the palace, your body is the most important." Lu Yanzhou did not hesitate.

Xie Chengze laughed.

If only Zhou Xueya hadn't found out Lu Yanzhou's identity... Maybe he would be happy until he died.

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what Xie Chengze was thinking. He waited for Xie Chengze to fall asleep, seeing that it was almost dawn, he took a pen and paper and wrote a note before leaving the East Palace.

Xie Chengze made people stare at Lu Yanzhou, but he did not forbid him to leave the East Palace, so no one stopped Lu Yanzhou when he left. Soon after, Lu Yanzhou returned to Jingning Temple.

He wanted to come back yesterday to have a look, but it was already night when the emperor's accident, the city gate was closed long ago, and he couldn't get out.

When he arrived at Jingning Temple, Lu Yanzhou immediately went to Lu Rong. He knocked on the door and entered Lu Rong's house. As a result, he happened to see Lu Qingshan lying on the kang with his clothes disheveled. Lu Rong's child was still chewing on his stomach - this child Recently, a few teeth have grown, and the teeth are probably itchy, and I have to bite twice when I see anything.

Lu Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother-in-law came out early? Fortunately!"

Hearing Lu Yanzhou's words, Lu Qingshan realized something: "Something happened?"

"The emperor is dizzy. Didn't my brother-in-law know about this before leaving the palace?"

"I don't know about this, I came out of the palace to watch the champion parade." Lu Qingshan sat up with a solemn expression.

Not long ago, Lu Qingshan went out of the palace to see Lu Rong. At that time, Lu Rong said that Lu Yanzhou should be admitted to the top spot and was looking forward to it. Lu Qingshan promised Lu Rong that he would come out to meet Lu Rong on the day when the champion was on the street. Rong went to see Lu Yanzhou together.

Yesterday, the two did not enter the same store, but they entered the face-to-face store. They watched Lu Yanzhou parade across the street together, and then they disguised themselves and came to Jingning Temple together.

Lu Qingshan took three days off. He planned to hide in Lu Rong's house for a day to cultivate his relationship with his son, and then return to the Taoist temple... As a result, something happened to the emperor? !

"Brother-in-law is lucky." Lu Yanzhou said, if Lu Qingshan was in the palace, he would definitely be arrested, so he could only go to Xie Chengze to find a way.

"It's not bad." Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lu Yanzhou about the situation in the palace.

"I don't know the specific situation, but the emperor's situation is not optimistic."

Lu Qingshan said: "I'm afraid I added too much ingredients to the medicine pill the day before yesterday... I don't know what he will do."

They are not sure what the emperor's situation is. What needs to be discussed now is what to do next.

After Lu Qingshan got Lu Yanzhou's guidance a few years ago, he did not personally contact the emperor, but taught those things to his master and pushed his master to the front of the stage.

But because of his master's favor, Lu Qingshan knew a lot of things, such as what kind of confidants the emperor had.

Because he knew that the prince and Lu Yanzhou had a close relationship, he paid close attention to it and found that the emperor was very wary of the prince.

As for the reason... the prince is too capable.

If it wasn't for the crown prince suffering from heart disease, the emperor would have been unable to bear it any longer!

Lu Yanzhou's expression changed when he learned of this.

He asked Lu Qingshan something in detail before returning to the East Palace.

When Lu Yanzhou went back, Xie Chengze was already awake. Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou hurried forward and asked Xie Chengze how he felt.

Xie Chengze laughed: "I'm fine already."

Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze's pulse and made sure that Xie Chengze was all right. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Your Highness, what happened in the palace?"

Xie Chengze did not hide it, and told what happened yesterday.

Knowing the emperor's current situation, Lu Yanzhou said, "Your Highness, the capital may not be peaceful in the future. Would you like to arrange some people around you?"

With Lu Yanzhou's understanding of King Rui, King Rui will never give up in the face of the current situation.

The emperor is not dead now, and he does not know who will be on his side.

Lu Yanzhou knew it, and Xie Chengze knew it too: "What do you think I should do?"

"His Royal Highness had better get in touch with the generals you know well, so that no one will do anything while taking advantage of the chaos," Lu Yanzhou said, "In my opinion, King Rui will not be safe."

Xie Chengze also attracted the generals, but at this time he frowned and said, "I don't have any familiar generals."

Lu Yanzhou couldn't help sighing when he heard the words.

King Rui made a lot of small moves. In the past two years, the original owner had helped King Rui win over a general.

As a prince, Xie Chengze didn't know how to cultivate more of his own team?

His family, Azer, is really too simple!

In the past, when Xie Chengze was cultivating the ruthless way, Xie Chengze was always bullied because he didn't care about anything and needed his help. Now Xie Chengze's soul fragment is being bullied in every world.

Let's just say this world... Xie Chengze was not prepared at all, and he was killed by someone like the original owner in the end.

Lu Yanzhou glanced at Xie Chengze worriedly, and said, "I know a few generals, it's better for His Highness to transfer them to the capital."

The generals Lu Yanzhou knew were naturally his two cousins-in-law. By the way, both of his cousins ​​were born generals, and the rest of their family were in charge of the army.

He could absolutely call them to the capital.

Xie Chengze said: "Okay."

Lu Yanzhou was helpless: "Your Highness, don't ask, who is the general I'm looking for?"

Xie Chengze said, "I believe in you."

Xie Chengze didn't want to cause more troubles and make the people suffer, so he simply obeyed Lu Yanzhou. After Lu Yanzhou said the names of his two cousins, he wrote a secret letter in front of Lu Yanzhou, asking Lu Yanzhou's two brothers-in-law to come to the capital, cover Get a stamp and send it out.

In fact, Xie Chengze is also surprised that Lu Yanzhou trusts him so much? It's enough to live in his East Palace without any precautions, and now he has the trump card in his hand, and he has no scruples to tell him.

He said that Lu Yanzhou was a knife in his hand. If Zhou Xueya could believe it, it was actually because of Lu Yanzhou's performance.

Is Lu Yanzhou a daring artist, or is he... sure that he loves him deeply?

Neither Lu Yanzhou, he simply trusts Xie Chengze.

He guarded against King Rui and others, but he never thought about guarding against Xie Chengze, or the people around Xie Chengze.

He now feels that Xie Chengze is too simple, and he wants to protect Xie Chengze wholeheartedly.

Xie Chengze rested at home for a day, and then entered the palace again. In the following days, the court was operating as usual, and Lu Yanzhou was also awarded an official and became the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

But the emperor was in a bad situation.

The emperor kept all the imperial physicians by his side, forcing them to cure himself, but the imperial physicians were helpless in the face of the emperor's situation, and even the emperor's physical condition was getting worse and worse.

Well-informed people basically got the news - this majesty may not live to this winter.

At the same time, the results of the interrogation of those Taoists have come out.

These Taoist priests are not clean one by one, and some of them used to be abducted and deceived in the folk.

And the Taoist priest, the emperor's favorite lately...the so-called "miracles" he performed were all small tricks.

These little tricks were taught by the Taoist boy beside him!

As for the emperor's illness... There is something wrong with the pills that this person made, and the pills the emperor took before are also wrong!

Such a group of people have been serving as treasures today... tsk tsk!

The ministers are not easy to discuss, in their hearts... They all think the emperor is a bit stupid!

But no matter how confused the emperor is in this regard, he is also an emperor!

Jinshang couldn't believe this at first, firmly believed that the immortals really existed. Later, he fainted again. When he woke up, he was enlightened. He ordered all the Taoist priests to be executed, and wanted the little Taoist boy who ran away.

That's right, the culprit, the little Daoist boy, even ran away before today's accident!

Of course, this boy left some clues behind. Jinshang sent someone to check his residence. Judging from some things left in his residence, he belonged to a certain family.

Without any hesitation, Jin Shang immediately arrested the male of the family and brought him back for interrogation. Although nothing was found, he still beheaded a few people.

This family was the one that bought the Lu family back to serve as slaves because of some small grudges with the Lu family back then, and humiliated them in every possible way.

Lu Qingshan's only remaining family members died in the humiliation of his family, and he hated this family deeply.

It's just that the family was caught and killed, but there was no news about the little boy.

No one knows this better than Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Qingshan is also a ruthless person. After knowing that he was wanted, he left Jingning Temple and went to a place he had arranged before, and then he ruthlessly ruined his appearance.

It's not the kind of simply slashing a few scars, it's smashing his face abruptly!

He has been in the palace for a long time, and many people know him, and this face can no longer be used.

After raising them for a while, Lu Qingshan came to Jingning Temple to beg for food, and after seeing Lu Rong, he called "Niangzi"...

He stayed at Jingning Temple as Lu Rong's husband who went out to do business and lost any news.

He was very close to Lu Rong, and no one doubted his identity.

The capital is very chaotic, and many things have been tossed about today, which makes the officials in the DPRK and China respect Xie Chengze even more.

They have no other idea, they just want His Royal Highness to ascend the throne quickly!

At this time, two armies traveled thousands of miles to the vicinity of the capital.

These two armies are not many in number, but they are all elites in the army. Not only that, they are also fully equipped.

Riding a tall horse, wearing gold and steel armor, and holding a treasured sword!

Even eating, they also eat meat!

When they came to the vicinity of the capital, they stopped moving forward, but found a place to camp and cook. When they were eating, large pieces of pork were thrown into the pot.

The soldiers smelled the meat and were all excited: "The recent days have been so good!"

"Where did the two generals get so much money?"

"Give us meat every day! Tsk tsk!"

"The landlord has never had such a life!"

…

While chatting, someone said, "What are the surnames of the two generals' wives, do you know?"

"Last name Lu, what's wrong?"

"I heard that the armor we are using now was used by the Lu family's army in the past, and our money is also left by the Lu family..."

Is that the case? Everyone was shocked: "I heard that the Lu family army was very brave back then. If there are such good things to eat, and such weapons, it is impossible not to be brave!"

"The Lu family wasn't killed seventeen years ago... Then we suddenly return to Beijing, what are we going to do?"

"Could the two generals have any ideas?"

…

The Lu family had an accident because of the treason, and they suddenly ran back to the capital. Could it be that the two generals wanted to do something?

"Where do you all want to go!" The person who mentioned the Lu family said: "Who is the general, do you still know? He won't push us to a dead end. This time we go to Beijing, and it's not just the Lu family who spends money. The money, and the money of His Royal Highness.”

"His Royal Highness's money?" The soldiers were a little surprised.

The man said again: "From today onwards, you can no longer leave the military camp. I will make it clear to you... The capital is not peaceful, so His Royal Highness will let us enter the capital."

It was so!

Lu Yanzhou's two cousins-in-law stationed the army in one place, waiting for His Royal Highness's orders, and at the same time looking forward to the future.

When they help His Royal Highness with this errand, should they be promoted?

The Lu family will definitely be rehabilitated!

well! If only the emperor in the palace could die sooner!

Xie Chengze knew about the fact that Lu Yanzhou's two cousins-in-law had arrived near the capital at the first time. The two of them sent him a lot of letters, and they kept showing their loyalty in the letter.

It's just that he is dying. Lu Yanzhou knows about this, and they should know that, so what kind of loyalty are they showing? Mostly acting.

Xie Chengze didn't take this seriously, but sent a lot of military supplies to the two men, so that they could train their troops outside the city.

Recently, the look in his father's eyes was not quite right, Xie Chengze always felt that the rain was coming.

But even if the rain was about to come, it wouldn't prevent him and Lu Bianxiu from having a nightly dinner.

This is the carnival of the dying before they die.

Lu Yanzhou: "..." His family, Aze, is really heartless, and he still thinks about it every day at this time.

The key is that Xie Chengze's body can't stand it at all, so for him, it becomes torture.

Fortunately, the merit is about to accumulate enough.

In a few days, he can help Xie Chengze heal his body.

Xie Chengze's illness can't be frightened, so Lu Yanzhou hoped that if King Rui made a move, he would be able to heal Xie Chengze's body.

However, things backfired. Lu Yanzhou was busy that day, and someone handed him a note - King Rui asked him to meet.

When he came to the place mentioned on the note, Lu Yanzhou saw King Rui.

The appearance of King Rui made Lu Yanzhou take precautions from the bottom of his heart.

It has been more than a month since he became the editor of the Hanlin Academy. During this period, he met Rui Wang once. At that time, Rui Wang was not very good, and he looked anxious, but at this time, Rui Wang’s eyes were full of excitement, and the original depression on his body also has been swept away.

"Your Highness!" Lu Yanzhou looked excited.

In the past, when King Rui met Lu Yanzhou, he would act a little bit to "appease" Lu Yanzhou, but this time King Rui did nothing, instead he said straight to the point: "Jizhi, I have something for you to do!"

"What does the lord want me to do?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

King Rui took out a package of something weighing about a pound from his arms and gave it to Lu Yanzhou: "This is arsenic, it is highly poisonous, you managed to put it in the prince's meal!"

"I don't have access to the meals of His Royal Highness..." Lu Yanzhou was worried.

Xie Chengze is very simple, but there are very few people serving in the East Palace, and there is no one in the yard where he lives. King Rui should not know about his relationship with Xie Chengze.

Rui Wang said: "If you can't touch his food, you will go down into the well water."

Lu Yanzhou: "..." No wonder he was given a pound of such poison at a time.

King Rui said again: "If you go back today, immediately put the poison down, and then excuse yourself from being unwell and stop eating."

King Rui explained a lot, and Lu Yanzhou agreed, and then watched King Rui go away.

King Rui let him poison him so casually, and he certainly did not expect him to succeed. In this case, King Rui must have other plans.

And King Rui is so confident... I'm afraid there is an emperor behind his back.

When Lu Yanzhou guessed something, Xie Chengze already knew what King Rui was going to do.

After Jinshang's accident, he had been targeting those Taoists at first, but then he started targeting Xie Chengze.

This is not surprising.

The ministers in the DPRK and China all prefer Xie Chengze. This was known earlier this morning, and recently, these ministers have shown more obvious performance.

Not to mention those ministers... Xie Chengze fed Jinshang with medicine before, and was smashed by Jinshang with a bowl. Seeing that Xie Chengze was injured, the imperial doctors present came forward one after another, trying to treat Xie Chengze's wound.

This kind of scene naturally hindered Jin Shang's eyes.

Most importantly, I doubt Xie Chengze today. I think his accident this time may have something to do with Xie Chengze - Xie Chengze has placed a lot of people in the palace, and he still found clues today.

Today, my suspicions have always been heavy. I was able to kill my younger brother at the beginning, and this time I will naturally be able to do something to my own son.

"His Royal Highness, the people around the emperor came to spread the news that the emperor gave King Rui a tiger amulet..." Zhou Xueya reported to Xie Chengze.

Today, on the bed of lingering sickness, Xie Chengze is more and more unpleasant to the eye, but he is very close to King Rui, who is trembling because he is worried that Xie Chengze will liquidate himself after he ascends the throne.

King Rui is also obviously better in control, Xie Chengze's words... Xie Chengze is not willing to follow Jinshang's intentions when dealing with the memorial!

"He can't sit still." Xie Chengze said.

"His Royal Highness, how should we respond?" Zhou Xueya asked.

Xie Chengze said: "I have already dispatched troops and horses to Beijing, and let them enter the city."

"His Royal Highness, that belongs to the Lu family..."

Xie Chengze laughed: "You don't believe me?"

"I dare not." Zhou Xueya said quickly.

Xie Chengze said: "Lu Yanzhou is my person, he listens to me, you can do as I order!"

Hearing what Xie Chengze said, Zhou Xueya went to work immediately.

As soon as Zhou Xueya left, Lu Yanzhou came back.

When Lu Yanzhou returned to the East Palace, he said to Xie Chengze, "Your Highness, King Rui may attack you."

"Why did you say this?" Xie Chengze asked curiously.

Lu Yanzhou said: "King Rui gave me a packet of poison and let me drop into the well in the East Palace."

Xie Chengze frowned and looked at Lu Yanzhou: "Why did he give you poison?"

Lu Yanzhou had never told Xie Chengze about his relationship with King Rui.

He and Xie Chengze were affectionate, saying that these are unpleasant scenery!

And... he was also afraid that Xie Chengze would be jealous and make trouble.

In the previous worlds, after he was with Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze would be quite jealous...

He told Xie Chengze about his acquaintance with King Rui early on. If Xie Chengze found out what the original owner had done for King Rui...then he wouldn't be able to wash it out if he jumped into the Yellow River!

But now the situation is urgent, in order to win the trust of Xie Chengze, it is time to confess.

Lu Yanzhou said: "His Royal Highness, in fact, I have known King Rui two years ago. I am the Lu family, the Lu family who was beheaded by the whole family seventeen years ago... I wanted King Rui to help the Lu family overturn the case, so I just Do something for him."

Xie Chengze was stunned, he did not expect Lu Yanzhou to suddenly confess to him.

Lu Yanzhou's various behaviors are a bit inconsistent with what he thinks. Now, when Lu Yanzhou confesses to him, he is not afraid that he will get angry and put Lu Yanzhou in jail?

Of course Lu Yanzhou is not afraid, he trusts Xie Chengze: "King Rui thinks I belong to him, after I know His Highness, he always makes me stare at His Highness... Your Highness, it is because of him that I know your identity in advance, and so do I Afraid of his entanglement, I have to follow you into the East Palace."

Xie Chengze: "..." This person actually rounded up the lie, and said it very innocently!

If it wasn't for his father still lying on the bed, he would have believed that Lu Yanzhou was really pure and kind.

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what Xie Chengze was thinking, he saw that Xie Chengze was not angry when he heard his confession, he looked completely convinced, and he felt more and more that Xie Chengze was too simple: "Today, King Rui suddenly poisoned me, I suspect he wants to do something. What... Your Highness, you must take precautions early!"
