Wishful Things

Just as rumors were flying all over the sky, Emperor Qingming woke up.

"Your Majesty finally woke up..." Li Ji came forward, although his eyes were full of joy, but his heart was very complicated.

The emperor woke up at this time, it is hard to say whether it is luck or misfortune...

"Have I been asleep for a long time?" Emperor Qingming tried to get up, but found that he couldn't use the strength at all.

Not only that, but every joint of the body hurts as if on fire.

This pain has been going on for a while, and it is not unfamiliar to him, but at this time the pain is obviously getting stronger.

Anxiety suddenly rose.

Li Ji hurriedly leaned over and stretched out his hands to help him sit up, making him sit on the head of the bed, and took a soft pillow to cushion him.

"Your Majesty has been in a coma for a long time, and his physical strength must be exhausted, so I asked someone to order the imperial dining room to prepare some nourishing and delicious meals."

Emperor Qingming frowned and didn't say anything, it was a tacit approval.

He woke up for the first time at this time, and his mind was still full of scenes from a dream.

He had an extremely unlucky dream, and the dream was extremely real, even after waking up from the dream, the stagnant anger in his chest still hadn't dissipated.

After confessing in a low voice to the inner prisoner, Li Ji quickly returned to the bed and brought a cup of warm tea to the emperor.

Emperor Qingming's hands were sore and weak, so Li Ji had to hold them and drink some.

After eating tea, Emperor Qingming's pale and dry lips were slightly polished, and he asked Li Ji: "Has that bitch of the Rong family confessed?"

Li Ji was startled when he heard this, and slightly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Qingming in surprise.

Your Majesty, this is...

"I had a dream. In the dream, the Rong family was extremely restless..." Thinking of the "dream situation", Emperor Qingming's face turned cold, and he tried to get out of bed after he lifted the brocade quilt: "Putting Yongfu Palace, I Go and meet her in person!"

Li Ji's expression changed slightly: ...how come the emperor is still reincarnated in this cruel fact?

And, 'extremely restless'...

The emperor said it quite tactfully.

But from this, it can be seen that the emperor was really irritated so much that he couldn't even distinguish between reality and dream?

Or... is this a harbinger of madness?

Li Ji stopped Emperor Qingming from trying to get up with some trepidation, and said softly: "Your Majesty must have slept for too long and hasn't woken up for a while... Could it be that the Emperor has forgotten that the Rong family had already died in Yongfu Palace that day?" middle?"

Emperor Qingming froze when he heard the words.

What?

He grabbed Li Ji's arm and asked coldly, "Is Rong really dead?!"

Li Ji tried his best to keep his voice as gentle as possible, fearing that an accident would really drive people crazy: "Yes...Your Majesty might as well think about it carefully, don't worry."

Emperor Qingming's eyes changed, and his breathing became heavier.

not a dream...

That bitch of the Rong family indeed betrayed him!

That evil species is not his blood at all!

Seeing that he obviously remembered, Li Ji persuaded him from the side: "I have already taken care of everything that happened in Yongfu Palace that day, and there is no news about Rong's death. Since both of them have been punished, Your Majesty may as well Calm down, take care of the dragon body first."

It’s okay if you don’t take care, after all, this is the first level after waking up, and there are still several levels waiting for you.

Emperor Qingming was so angry that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Meals came quickly.

He didn't refuse to eat because of a moment of anger like before, even though he had no appetite, he still forced himself to eat.

He still has a lot to do, he must not fall!

After the food was removed, Li Ji asked for instructions: "Your Majesty... Ming Yushi is still in Qicheng, look..."

Ming Yushi went to negotiate with Duke Zhen in exchange for the little prince, but Lord Zhen refused to see him, and Ming Yushi was unwilling to give up easily, so he temporarily settled in Qicheng, which is close to Linyuan.

But now, the little prince is no longer the little prince, will this difficult negotiation still go ahead as planned?

"Let's talk about... pass on my secret decree and follow it clearly, no matter what, I must bring back my Zhang'er!" Emperor Qingming sneered and said, "He is the prince of Daqing, and he represents the face of the imperial court!"

This kind of evil life experience must not be spread out!

That being the case, it must be rescued, otherwise Xu's army will shake the morale of the imperial army with hostages in their hands.

That bitch of the Rong family died so easily, it's really hard to relieve his anger!

Fortunately, there is still this little bitch...

Yes, of course you have to 'save'...

Not only to "rescue", after being rescued, but also to "be kind to comfort"!

Prince of Daqing...

The face of the court...

Hearing this, Li Ji said with an extremely complicated expression: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. During the five days you were in a coma, many things happened. The little prince's life experience...now almost everyone knows it..."

The face of the imperial court is gone...

In other words - what color is the emperor's head now, the whole world can see.

That's why he said, it's really hard to say whether it's luck or misfortune for the emperor to wake up safely...

Emperor Qingming's lips trembled, he stared at Li Ji closely and asked, "What did you say?"

The life experience of that evil species—is it known to everyone? !

"Right now, rumors are spreading everywhere that the little prince is not of His Majesty's own blood. These 'rumors' are overwhelming and cannot be suppressed at all..."

"It's ridiculous!" Emperor Qingming's lips were livid, and his whole body trembled slightly with anger: "Li Ji, is this how you do things for me!"

How could the news from Yongfu Palace leak out!

"Your Majesty, please calm down first, be careful of the dragon body..."

This matter is very important, he definitely dare not hide it - but he deliberately waited until His Majesty had eaten before daring to say it, why is it that he is still not able to hold on?

"I ask you, what exactly did you do!" Emperor Qingming suddenly raised his voice, his eyes seemed to cut Li Ji into pieces.

Li Ji knelt down.

He bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty clearly learned that after the incident in Yongfu Palace that day, I have already arranged everything properly, there is absolutely no possibility that even a word of rumor will spread, and no one knows about Rong's death at the moment... the little prince's life experience The news did not come from the palace!"

"Then tell me where did this rumor come from?!"

"According to investigation, it came from near Linyuan City..."

"Linyuan..." Hearing these two words that seemed to be full of thorns, Emperor Qingming's eyes seemed to burst into flames: "Xu Qiwei...!"

"After the news spread to the capital, people from the Purple Star Sect probably contributed to it..." Li Ji bit the bullet and said, "That's why it spread all over the capital in just a few days."

As for why it must be the Purple Star Sect?

Those nursery rhymes, story books, and play excerpts that suddenly spread all over the streets and alleys... According to several adults in the court, you can hear the Zixing Sect's consistent style of writing even with your eyes closed!

It is said that since the Purple Star Sect took root in the capital, it quietly occupied half of the capital's entertainment...

And those drama scripts and story books were sent to the hands of several adults in the cabinet yesterday.

At that time, as soon as several ministers read the beginning, they mostly showed anger.

"absurd!"

"Nonsense!"

The Minister of Rites also said: "...It's all made up, it's unbelievable!"

The details of the above private meeting are so detailed, could it be that the writer of the book saw it with his own eyes while hiding under the bed of Concubine Rong Gui and that Yue family gentleman!

This is simply making up a play.

Not believable, not believable.

"This book is widely circulated in the city...it must be banned!" An old official said angrily.

"Yes, it should be banned." The Minister of the Ministry of Rites nodded and responded, while turning down another page. The bridge section on it is fragrant and bold but yet rigorous. Look at how outrageous this compilation is!

The Minister of Rites watched with a frowning face, and said, "The Purple Star Sect is becoming more and more rampant now, how dare you release such rumors..."

"What if... it's not a rumor?" Yu Guang, a cabinet scholar, thought in a low voice.

"Master Yu, what does this mean?"

Several old ministers immediately changed their faces when they heard this.

They only regarded this matter as rumors at the moment, and Yu Guang's words undoubtedly led them to jump out of this cognition.

And once you accept this setting...

"It's not impossible..." The new chief assistant, surnamed Xie, is over 60 years old, with gray beard and hair, but his voice is still steady and powerful when he speaks: "Could it be that you have forgotten the sudden coma of your Majesty?" ?”

The rest of the people looked at each other - that must not be forgotten, people are still lying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!

"Elder Xie Ge means... Your Majesty is very likely to be stimulated by this incident?!"

"That's right, I asked Imperial Physician Zheng privately that day, and according to Imperial Physician Zheng, His Majesty did trigger this disease in Yongfu Palace—I thought it was probably because I talked about the little prince with Concubine Rong, Caused by excessive worry..."

"And that Li Ji...he spoke vaguely, but he really seemed to be hiding something..."

"This little prince has been very stable since he was born, which is indeed rare..."

I thought God blessed Daqing and gave them a healthy prince...

Now it seems that it may indeed be God's will--God's tricks!

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of Rites also lowered his voice and opened his mouth: "One more thing, my lords may not know... The Violet Star Sect's dramas about the affairs of the court have never been completely fabricated, but mostly based on facts and adapted... ..."

Hearing this, Xie Shoufu glanced at the notebook he was holding tightly in his hand.

Being able to say this summary, it can be seen that the works of the Purple Star Sect must have been read...

Afraid of not being a loyal reader?

As it turns out, there is more than one reader—

Soon someone echoed the words of the Minister of Rites.

And the more I talked, the more complicated the faces of the ministers... The more I talked, the more it seemed like that!

"But... the emperor doesn't know whether the child is his or not? He didn't even notice it at all?" Some ministers frowned and expressed their confusion.

But for those who have reached their position, who would not know that the emperor is always the most suspicious?

Several adults discussed this.

Including but not limited to whether a certain function of the emperor is still sound...

Finally, they came to a conclusion.

The emperor is suspicious, but he is confident enough!

Even up to now, the emperor still insists that he is a peerless and capable monarch...

"This matter is very important...it must be verified as soon as possible." Xie Shoufu said with a serious expression.

According to the results of the police investigation, the source of the news is near Linyuan. This can certainly be seen as a means used by Lord Zhen Guo to shake Daqing's hearts, but behind the means, the truth of the matter is equally important!

If it is true and false, whether to save or not, and how to resettle after being rescued, these are big problems... We must understand the truth before we can properly deal with it!

——This is what happened in the cabinet yesterday.

Besides, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time, Emperor Qingming heard that this "rumor" was out of control under the influence of the Purple Star Sect, and almost passed out again.

He closed his eyes and leaned against the soft pillow, only feeling dizzy for a while.

The Purple Star Sect...it's the Purple Star Sect again!

And Xu Qiwei - how did he know about this!

To release this news at such a juncture, this traitor obviously has ulterior motives!

Don't need to think about it, once the news that is enough to discredit him as the emperor and the Daqing royal family comes out, if it is used by someone with a heart, it will definitely shake the morale of the army...

Seeing the unbearable appearance of the emperor, Li Ji couldn't help but want to sigh.

Who made the emperor insist on waking up?

After waking up, don't you have to face these?

If you ask him, it's good to just be unconscious like this.

"Since this matter has been spread, it is expected that Xie Changqing and the others will not be unresponsive—" Emperor Qingming forced himself to ask, "I have been in a coma for the past few days, how did they react?"

"Xie Shoufu and others did go to His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday to persuade His Highness to call Concubine Rong to confront the truth..." Li Ji said: "After hearing this, I rushed over and barely stopped her. My lords..."

He was scolded like a bloody dog...

These grown-ups are all of Jinshi background, and there are two champions among them. They can be said to be full of tricks when they scold people.

But Emperor Qingming obviously didn't care about his feelings, and he didn't even understand the words behind him——

"You said just now that they went to ask the prince for instructions?" Emperor Qingming suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Li Ji.

"Yes... His Majesty was in a coma for a long time and did not show any signs of waking up. Xie Shoufu and others were in charge of the court, so he ordered His Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country and handle political affairs on His Majesty's behalf."

"Supervise the country on my behalf?!" Emperor Qingming was furious: "I'm not dead yet! What are they going to do!"

Li Ji's scalp went numb when he heard it.

This chatter...

Of course I know that you are not dead. If you are dead, what kind of country are you still in prison? Then you have to be enthroned!

"Where is the prince now!"

"Return to Your Majesty, His Highness should discuss matters with you adults in the South Study Room at this time..."

South study...

discussion!

Emperor Qingming sneered heavily, immediately lifted the brocade quilt and was about to get out of bed.

He moved very quickly, but he could hardly use any strength in his lower body. He moved so forcefully, and under the sudden movement, his body lost his balance and rolled off the couch.

"Your Majesty!" Li Ji, who was kneeling beside him, exclaimed and hurried forward.

"Go away!"

Emperor Qingming threw his hand away violently, his face was livid, and he wanted to stand up with his own strength, but he couldn't do it no matter what.

Li Ji looked at the pair of legs that seemed to be displayed under the fine silk jacket, and couldn't help being surprised.

Your Majesty's legs...

"Since I have woken up, did no one send a message to the prince? Why didn't the prince come to see me! Don't you dare? Or do you think I shouldn't wake up!"

"Let him come to see me immediately!"

"Yes, yes..." Li Ji responded repeatedly, and immediately ordered the eunuch to pass on the message, and secretly glanced at the emperor's leg, then hurriedly asked the imperial physician who had just left to come back quickly.

The prince will arrive soon.

Xie Shoufu and others came together.
