"The seventh prince entered the city alone with a few guards. He did not see King Jin's carriage."
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The eldest prince was always a little uneasy: "Send someone to find out where Nalan Jinnian has returned now? We must try our best to prevent them from entering the city tomorrow!"
The eldest prince knew that the two came back together. Later, after the seventh prince got off the boat, he rode ahead.
Because Princess Hui'an was pregnant, Nalan Jinnian accompanied her in the carriage, which was a little slower.
But now that the Seventh Prince has arrived, Nalan Jinnian should not be far away.
If they arrive tomorrow, something bad might happen!
"Yes!" The eldest princess had already made arrangements, but the matter was so important that she didn't feel at ease and quickly confirmed it again.
The eldest prince and concubine were about to call someone, and then someone came to report: "Back to the eldest prince, eldest prince and concubine, the third prince has entered the city!"
The eldest prince sneered when he heard this: "He came back quickly!"
It wasn't fast, it only took twenty days to get back from Dongjiang.
I don’t know how many horses were killed.
The eldest prince smiled and said: "So what if everyone comes back? We have the inheritance decree in hand! The eldest prince, you are both the direct descendant and the eldest son. It is reasonable and legal for you to sit in this ninth-five-year-old position!"
The eldest prince nodded: "That's right!"
The throne was born to be his.
Whoever robs is disobedient.

The news of the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince's return to the city was also received by the Second Prince and Concubine Li.
The second prince said in frustration: "One and two are back! Only the eldest brother is missing!"
Concubine Li sneered when she heard this: "You think he didn't come back? He was just hiding! People from the imperial mausoleum sent a message back, saying that he was in seclusion and chanting sutras! I only received the news this morning."
Concubine Li sent people to keep an eye on the imperial mausoleum a while ago, just to know the movements of the eldest prince.
Unexpectedly, he had already gone into seclusion two months ago.
So he must have returned to Beijing early.
Concubine Li Guifei fell into the trap of the eldest princess a few days ago and broke into Zichen Palace with all the concubines in the harem. She is regretting it these days.
The eldest prince must be planning something big!
But with the eldest prince scheming, she felt less nervous.
The second prince was shocked when he heard this: "I came back two months ago. Mother, concubine, what should we do now that everyone is back?"
Concubine Li is also worried. She wants to be the Queen Mother, but she is worried that she will be doomed if she is not careful, so she can only take a safe route: "Ignore the third and seventh children for now, let's seize the boss's private return to Beijing first. "
Second Prince: "However, I feel that the eldest brother is not something to be afraid of. On the contrary, the third and seventh sons are more troublesome."
A man who killed his father wants to sit on the throne
Pooh!
Thinking of what Prime Minister Li said, Concubine Li couldn't help but look at him and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, are you afraid that your head will be dislocated?"
The road to seizing the direct line is so dangerous, if you are not careful, your head will be in a different place.
The second prince thought of the scene when he passed by the execution ground, stopped and looked at it for a while, and saw the head rolling to his feet.
He couldn't help but tremble.
Of course he is afraid, but... He also wants to sit on this throne!
He would not give up without a fight.
He didn't answer the question, "My son wants to be the emperor, and I want my mother and concubine to be the queen mother. My mother will honor the world. Isn't this my mother's wish?"
Concubine Li then understood that this son, like herself, was actually afraid of death, but he also wanted something better.
He didn't realize it before, but now that he doesn't have the second princess by his side, he has no idea.
Concubine Li couldn't help but wonder what she would do now that the second prince's concubine was still there and had not been discovered to be the thorn in the side of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.
What will happen to them
If only she were here!

other end
The seventh prince returned to the capital and headed straight to the palace without stopping.
Taking the token, the seventh prince entered the palace smoothly and hurried to Zichen Palace.
The serious atmosphere in the palace gave him a bad feeling.
Prince An immediately learned that the seventh prince had returned to Beijing and entered the palace.
He immediately walked out and saw the seventh prince walking quickly up the steps.
He glanced around, but did not see Nalan Jinnian and Princess Hui'an. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Where is Seventeen? Where is Princess Jin?"
The Seventh Prince gasped and grabbed Prince An's hand, and said anxiously: "Uncle Seventeenth Prince and the others are still behind, I'll rush back first! How is Father? I'm going to see him."
Prince An felt something was stuffed in his hand. He grabbed it and whispered: "The imperial doctor said that the end is approaching and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive tonight. Where is the Seventeenth Emperor's brother now?"
What the hell is the end approaching
The seventh prince's heart tightened. He opened his mouth and found that his throat was tight. He said with difficulty: "Didn't you say that the father has woken up?"
At this time, the eldest grandson of the emperor walked out from inside and said with a sad face: "Uncle Seventeenth Emperor, you are back! Go and see Grandfather Emperor! By the way, when will Uncle Seventeenth Emperor come back?"
Prince An closed his eyes when he heard the eldest grandson's voice, suppressed the anger in his heart, and only said to the seventh prince: "I fainted from anger again! Go see your father first."
The seventh prince nodded, and then replied to the eldest grandson's words: "The seventeenth prince is still on the way, I will go back first, he will probably arrive in two days at the earliest."
"What? Two days?!" Prince An exclaimed.
The eldest emperor grandson secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Seventh Prince nodded heavily: "Aunt Seventeenth Emperor is pregnant. She has a big belly and is really not suitable for traveling. They have rushed back as soon as possible. But they can't be too hasty, otherwise Aunt Seventeenth Emperor's stomach will be uncomfortable... "
As the saying goes, seven days to live, eight days to live, this is the most dangerous time.
The two of them walked forward as they talked.
The eldest emperor lowered his head and followed the two of them without saying a word.
Just listening to the conversation between two people.
At this time, his sense of presence is naturally as low as possible.
The three of them walked into Zichen Palace.
When the seventh prince saw the lifeless emperor lying on the dragon bed, his heart trembled. He couldn't believe it. He came to the dragon bed, his knees softened and he knelt down: "Father!"
"Father, my son is back, and the seventeenth uncle and the others will be back soon. Father..."
The emperor remained motionless on the dragon bed.
The seventh prince held his hand and couldn't even feel his pulse.
The seventh prince was really panicked this time, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to sniff.
It seems like I can't feel any breath.
Moreover, the emperor's body was not very warm at the moment and was a bit cold.
not…
"Imperial Physician! Why does my father seem to have lost his breath! Look quickly!" The seventh prince shouted in fright.
The imperial doctors were also startled and hurried forward.
The third prince walked in at this time. After hearing this, he immediately shouted in grief and rushed forward: "Father! Father, what's wrong with you? I'm back, father..."
"Shut up!" Prince An yelled angrily.
“…….”
The third prince was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.
The imperial doctors hurried over and lined up to take turns taking pulses.
Prince An stood at the end of the crowd and took the opportunity to glance at the note in his hand.
