"... That jade seal, are you going to leave it to the sixth prince?"
Although Meng Qi found the jade seal, he didn't take it away. He put the jade seal back into the box and put it back in the tree hole.
First, Meng Qi didn't take this precious treasure seriously, and secondly, the jade seal was not easy to carry in his arms, it would bulge out wherever it was inserted, and it couldn't be dropped or knocked.
Besides, the emperor does not rely on the jade seal, and holding the jade seal can not determine the ownership of the throne, so why take it
Also cumbersome!
"After the fall of the Chu Dynasty, Yuxi's whereabouts are unknown, have you found it?"
"Cough cough."
The prince nodded with a sad expression.
The palace maid Yu Lan sobbed in a low voice beside her. Although she didn't speak, there was hopelessness in her eyes.
"It's not because I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, but if I die, there will be problems inside and outside the court." The prince breathed a few breaths, and then smiled bitterly, "The courtiers in the outer court only need to think about who is the next master of the East Palace, and choose among the princes. Pick and choose, and find a prince who they think is the best to talk to and make their lives easier. The national teacher has also served as an official, and they should understand the calculus in the minds of these civil servants. The third emperor is the most suitable person in their minds. But no, three The emperor's temperament is simply... can't..."
Seeing that his face was pale, Mo Li sent another internal force over.
"Calm down, don't get excited, you actually know how to take care of yourself."
"The doctor is right."
The prince slowly lay back on the bed, Yu Lan wiped away tears, and went out to get the medicine.
Mo Li stopped her and said in a low voice, "Bring the prescription together, I'll take a look."
Yu Lan raised her eyes, and only responded with the permission of the prince.
The medicine had been prepared a long time ago, and it was placed on the stove in the outer hall. The prescription was kept by Director Chen. Yu Lan unlocked the key and opened the box to get it.
Mo Li smelled the medicine and stopped, "Wait first, are there any other herbs in the East Palace? Take me to see them."
"Is there a problem with the medicine?" Yu Lan was taken aback.
The prince didn't react or panic.
"Do you believe in imperial physicians?" Meng Qi asked meaningfully.
"I don't trust them, it's their brains."
The prince laughed at himself and said, "In the father's harem, several low-ranking concubines and concubines die every year, plus my imperial sister, my imperial brother, and the imperial physicians know too many things. The fate of knowing too much is that Death, those imperial physicians who are still alive know better than the courtiers. Whoever is the emperor can survive them. They don't want me to die. As for the medicine, my confidants and the maids in the house made the medicine. Hands, I can trust their ability and loyalty. No matter anywhere, there will always be people with other thoughts, and this East Palace is no exception. Lonely confidants know how to deal with these people and will not give them any opportunities."
The prince waved weakly, and the civet cat on the beam looked at him for a while, then slowly came over.
Meng Qi: "..."
The national teacher walked to the other side of the bed without a trace.
When Taijing Longmai first took shape, because of its chubby gerbil appearance, everyone would "bully" it. Although those are the natural enemies of gerbils, Meng Guoshi is only afraid of cats, and there is a reason for this.
The gerbil runs fast and can dig holes, and there are rocks as a natural barrier. Before taking the human form, the Taijing dragon vein never left "home". Since he can become a human, can go down a mountain, and has the power to defend himself, Taijing Longmai has become more courageous, and walking around has caused the dangers to be doubled.
Many years later, Meng Qi, who was the national teacher of the Chu Dynasty, learned a lot of martial arts and drove away the arrogant alchemist. It can be said that he was fearless, thinking that he could walk sideways in Taijing.
Then, I met the cat.
When the Chu Dynasty was prosperous, every household in the capital was rich in money and grain, and they did not worry about food and clothing, and then there was a rat infestation.
Originally, there were only a few households that kept cats, but as a result, the rats were rampant, biting furniture and clothing, stealing food and lamp oil, and even stealing children's sugar. The government hired raccoon slaves to go home to catch mice.
If you catch them well, if you catch more raccoon slaves, you will be able to eat fresh fish.
Those who are good at catching mice are even more famous. Every time they give birth to kittens, the threshold of the owner's house can be broken.
- No one knows what happened to the fat mouse. Anyway, the national teacher will no longer easily become a gerbil in the middle of the night and go out for a walk.
Meng Qi admired General Song's garden, not only because it was well maintained, but also because General Song liked brightly colored birds, so there were no cats in the house, and no one was allowed to keep cats.
In order to steal Prime Minister Deng's mutton, Meng Qi almost ran into Prime Minister Deng's black cat several times. Fortunately, the cat was raised too fat by Mrs. Deng and couldn't run fast at all. Unexpectedly, this cat recognized the real body of Longmai, and every time it saw the national teacher, it would rush to scratch it frantically. Who is Prime Minister Deng? When Zhiwei saw it, he immediately became suspicious of Meng Qi. Although he didn't catch the current one, he still identified the mutton stealer.
Deng Shusheng, a stinky food-protector, raised a short-sighted cat.
In order to follow him, he squatted on the wall of the National Teacher's House every day, day and night, suddenly appeared like a ghost, a real ambush master, if the gerbil was pressed directly, it is estimated that he would faint directly. The most terrifying thing is that this cat holds revenge, and after repeated defeats, he has been defeated and fought again and again. In less than half a year, he has lost weight like two cats. This is even more troublesome, and his combat power is directly doubled.
- For a long time, every time Meng Qi heard the cat meow, she subconsciously looked for the black shadow around her.
The raccoon slaves have a very strange personality. Sometimes they see the gerbils running by and they won't catch them. Some of them are sleeping on the wall, basking in the sun. You can see the afterimage, which is comparable to the Chiba Tathagata of Hengchang Temple and the Bone Shadowless Claw of the evil sect.
Even a third-rate Jianghu master can't learn it.
Meng Qi indifferently watched the cat waving its tail on the pedal that stopped in front of the bed, but didn't get up.
"Hu refused to get close to me a month ago, and I knew that I didn't have much time. Some people say that black cats can understand mysteries. Although Ah Hu is not a black cat, he may also be able to see some things that ordinary people can't see. thing."
The prince reached out to touch the civet cat's head, but the latter avoided it immediately.
Meng Qi couldn't hear what other people said about Li Nu, so he couldn't help but say: "This has nothing to do with Li Nu, the creatures in the mountains will stay away from their companions who are about to die of illness. This is their instinct. If they are seriously injured, or They don't have this kind of taboo for their kind who are dying of starvation."
"Have you seen the national teacher?"
"There are wolves in the depths of Shangyun Mountain. A wolf suddenly became seriously ill and could not even stand up the next day. The wolves watched it from a distance and stayed there for a day and a night, until the sick wolf died, and then he howled. leave,"
Hearing this, the prince couldn't help but sighed: "Ahu is a cat, no one cares about its whereabouts, after I die, it will be able to leave this palace and the heavens and the earth will be left to it. But people, people can What should I do, it's better than a little civet cat."
At this time, Mo Li came back. He took the prescription and said: "The prescription you used can nourish blood and nourish qi, and it is also very suitable for treating diseases. It's just you..."
My body is too bad to make up for it.
Mo Li paused for a while, then changed his words: "I will reduce the weight of a few herbs, add an adjuvant, and decoct three times a day. As long as you don't get angry and don't move around, you can at least prolong your life for another half a month."
"Thank you doctor, in this way, I can wait for the Sixth Emperor to come back."
The prince didn't have any happy expression, obviously living a few more days couldn't resolve the endless sadness in his heart.
"Actually, the younger brother of the sixth emperor does not have this ability. There are no worthy ministers in the court. The noble and virtuous people are either killed by my father, or they refuse to be officials... The three kings of the previous dynasty in the south were not aggressive and indulged in Enjoy, there is still a god-given king in the west to seek rebellion... ahem, the world will be in chaos, nothing can be done."
Things in the world are always like this. People who don't deserve to die will die, and people who live only bad things live a hundred years.
Meng Qi was distracted, and he remembered Li Yuanze's eldest son, Prince Zhaohua of the Chu Dynasty.
Prince Zhaohua died at an early age, which was a big blow to the Chu Dynasty both inside and outside. Li Yuanze stood in front of his son's coffin, as if he was more than ten years old. Although Emperor Chu Yuan had other sons, and there were not a few talented ones, those sons together were not as good as Prince Zhaohua.
Emperor Chu Yuan's temperament changed drastically and slaughtered heroes, and this began.
The prince who succeeded to the throne could not hold back the merits of the dynasty, and the old emperor felt suspiciously that when he died, a powerful minister like the Marquis of Jingyuan would rebel and seize the throne.
Although Meng Qi had never been an official of the Qi Dynasty for a day, looking at such a prince of the Qi Dynasty, he understood the deepest thoughts in the heart of the Qi Dynasty's court, from the princes and concubines to the imperial doctors and palace maids.
-Why is it not the emperor who is sick, but the prince
The prince was originally the hope in these people's hearts. Even if he wanted to kill the king, he could still plan rationally, or endure it because he was timid and incompetent. that day.
The old and sick emperor is like a toothless tiger. His orders are no longer easy to follow, and the praetorian guards will not continue to be loyal. The royal eunuch who was originally willing to be a lackey to oppress the palace servants and even low-ranking concubines will also change his face. To please and please the prince.
The owner of this imperial city will change hands invisibly.
Everything will happen before the emperor dies.
As long as the emperor is old, as long as those villains feel unprofitable, the opportunity will come!
"I'm afraid Lu Zhang doesn't know that his crown prince is going to die. Not only did he not stimulate other sons to please him and fight for the position of the next crown prince, but it made them completely irrational and want to kill the king."
Meng Qi held his arms and took the initiative to block the cat for the doctor.
However, the civet cat ignored him, jumped to the table beside Mo Li, and stretched out its claws to pick up the luggage.
The ink carp avoided it, and the cat chased after it again.
Just one chase, one let, and before you know it, you get to the bed.
Ink carp: "… "
I always felt like I was being chased by a cat.
Yu Lan looked at the cat, then at Mo Li, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness's cat seems to want the doctor to treat His Highness?"
"I have medicinal herbs in my luggage, I probably smelled it." Mo Li reluctantly stood in front of the bed.
"Meow." The civet cat called urgently.
The prince had to say to the cat, "Hu, the doctor has already taken my pulse."
The cat squatted there still, staring at him.
It was Meng Qi who regained his senses first, and couldn't help but say annoyed, "Maybe it's because he saw that he lost his inner strength for its master, and he was eager to ask for more."
Where is the internal force of the dragon veins, it is the spiritual energy, and it is also the "life" energy of the mountains and rivers. The cat has a natural nature and knows whether it is good or bad.
"Forget it, Ahu, this is destiny."
The prince sighed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Meng Qi, "The national teacher... I wonder if the national teacher has the will to rule the world?"
The author has something to say:
Prince: none of the younger brothers are promising, and there are no worthy ministers in the court
Prince: To the south there are the three kings of the previous dynasty, and to the west there is the Holy Lotus Altar and the King of Heaven to rebel, Yongzhou is suffering from drought...
