Chapter 868 Undercurrent

After Lord Sun took the order and left, the emperor looked at Eunuch Lu.

"You have been with me for the longest time, do you know what is on my mind?"

Lu Gonggong said: "I dare not speculate on the holy will."

"Speak, I allow you to speak." The emperor tightened his cloak a little, and turned his body slightly to the dragon-carved column next to him.

Eunuch Lu thought for a while, and said: "The emperor wants to use the same fate Gu to deal with the prince?"

"My thoughts are not difficult to guess at all. If you can guess, so can Old Seven. Where do you think he will hide Old Eight?"

Eunuch Lu's heart trembled, "This... I really can't figure it out."

"It's hard to guess," the emperor's voice was leisurely with a hint of comfort, "But there are always people around him who know. Who do you think would know?"

"This...slave doesn't know either." Eunuch Lu's forehead was dripping with sweat. It was clearly a bit chilly this spring day, but he felt cramped.

The corners of the emperor's lips curled up, "You don't know? Those are the few people who have had close contacts with the regent and who can be trusted by him. When Su Qing left the capital, only Xiao Tuo and Ni Rong Xiaoxiao and Xiao Xiao don't know how to do these things, so there are only Ni Rong and Xiao Tuo."

"Your majesty... Your majesty's analysis makes sense." Lu Gonggong's heart trembled more and more.

"Well, go to some activities and see if you can pry something out of Xiao Tuo's mouth."

Eunuch Lu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this servant understands your thoughts, but didn't you ask your lords to cooperate with the Regent's administration? At this juncture, this servant is afraid of offending the princess. Your condition..."

The emperor laughed and glanced at Eunuch Lu, "Why are you nervous? I just asked you to inquire. I have something in my hand, isn't it better than nothing?"

Eunuch Lu bite the bullet and said: "However, the emperor does not appreciate the policies presented by the prince..."

"You've seen it too, haven't you?" the emperor interrupted him.

"The slave has heard you say it several times."

"how do you feel?"

Eunuch Lu hesitated for a moment, "The servant thinks it's okay."

The emperor sneered, "It's not okay, it's very good, much better than what I thought."

"In that case," Eunuch Lu looked up in confusion, "Why does the emperor still doubt the regent? Didn't he decide to return the power to you?"

The emperor's eyes passed him, and he looked quietly at a pear tree behind him, "I remembered something my father said once, he said that Lao Qi is really good at governing the country, and he is the best candidate for the emperor. Hearing this at that time, I only felt relieved, because no matter how capable he is, he will only be my servant."

Eunuch Lu anxiously said: "Your Majesty, everything is still the same."

The emperor withdrew his gaze and shook his head slowly, "It's different, he's right, it's me who has changed, and I can no longer keep such a strong opponent, even if he is not an opponent."

Eunuch Lu was not reconciled, and continued: "Your Majesty, the prince said he was going to the southern country, why don't you just let him go?"

"Among my several princes, who can be compared to the regent?" the emperor asked him.

"this……"

"No," the emperor shook his head again, with a sad expression on his face, "the abolished crown prince is immoral and incompetent, the king of Liang is not interested in government affairs, and the rest of the princes, except for the crown prince who is now promising, have no more, but the crown prince is Murong Jie It was pulled up with one hand, and it emphasized love and righteousness. How can it be the opponent of the regent? My body is cured, but I have been taking medicine for a long time and I have been poisoned by Gu poison. I am afraid that I will not be able to last for many years. Can I just watch Jiangshan being taken away by him?"

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Lu cried out sadly, "If he doesn't take it now, he won't take it in the future."

"No, no," the emperor waved his hand, with a tired look on his face, "the time has not come, the time has not come, when the time comes, his mind will change, especially when he has an heir, looking at his son for a day Smarter than a day, a father would want to give him the best things in the world. This is the first time I have become a father, I have such thoughts, but unfortunately, Ah Xin hurt his roots at that time, hey, Ah Xin would rather Believe him or me..."

The wind blew across the ground of the imperial garden, and there were no fallen leaves in spring, and this gust of wind blew by, hardly raising any dust.

Zian's belly was getting bigger day by day, but it was not as big as Liu Liu's. Liu Liu began to find it difficult to move. Doctors said that she might be a prolific mother just like her mother.

Xiao Tuo was under a lot of pressure, and Zian was also under a lot of pressure, because the nanny was still insisting that she was the one who was pregnant with twins.

March, Qingming.

A few days ago, it started to drizzle. This spring day is humid, from the outside to the inside. Zi'an also began to feel uneasy when he was thinking a lot during pregnancy.

During the Qingming Festival, Murong Jie paid homage to his ancestors, and then handed over the sacrificial ceremony to the emperor.

He is in a good condition now, and Zian thinks that after another one or two months of treatment, he will probably be cured.

Compared with the emperor's rapid progress, Sun Fang'er's progress is really slow. Although she started soaking in the potion last month, her toxins were discharged very slowly, and the side effects were also very serious. She fainted several times. Liang Hanwen believed that she was mentally ill. The pressure is too much, so the treatment process should be slowed down a little bit.

Although Zian was impatient, she didn't show it. She knew that Sun Fang'er really tried her best.

After the sacrifice, Lingli came back with Su Qing.

The two of them didn't know what happened in Cizhou, but the Ministry of Officials went to inform Murong Jie that the prefect of Cizhou died of a sudden illness, and his wife was also infected and died. The Ministry of Officials gave Murong the list of new prefects. Jie took a look, and Murong Jie asked the officials to investigate by themselves.

The day Lingli came back, the rain stopped, and she saw Zian's belly, her eyes widened in surprise, "It's so big?"

"It will be three months for you to go here." Mammy said with a smile, "If you come back later, the concubine will give birth."

"Is everything going well when I'm not around?" Ling Li asked.

Zi'an smiled slightly, "Very well, you have made arrangements, what can happen?"

She pursed her lips, signaled the nanny to go out, then took Ling Li's hand and asked, "Can you tell me what happened in Cizhou?"

Lingli sighed softly, "It's nothing, I just got back what I lost."

"I know, the prefect and his wife of Cizhou are dead, I'm asking you and Su Qing." Zi'an smiled.

Ling Li's face was a little shy, "It's nothing, he said that a man must keep his promise, since I have a marriage contract with him, I should fulfill the marriage contract."

"Oh!" Zi'an smiled, "He is really a trustworthy person."

"he is."

"I said you." Zi'an said jokingly.

Lingli turned around and said angrily: "Although I am clever, I don't say that I am upright, but I can't let people take advantage of me and say that I don't keep my promise."

"Yeah, our girl Lingli is the one who keeps her promises the most." Zi'an was really happy, because before Lingli came back, King Liang also sent a letter, saying that the emperor of Daliang liked him very much, and the marriage was about to be finalized.

However, everything went well, and Zian began to feel uneasy.
