Yang Tingxing breathed a sigh of relief, and was afraid that Concubine Hua would be too aggressive, so he persuaded: "Concubine Mother, it's better not to be too ostentatious. After all, Emperor Father still hopes that the harem will be stable and safe." Concubine Hua looked at Yang Tingxing like this. Worried about herself, she was happy in her heart, feeling that Yang Tingxing really cared about her, she smiled and said to Yang Tingxing: "Xing'er, don't worry, the concubine mother is also an old man in the palace, I know what to do. "
Yang Tingxing nodded, and then chatted with Concubine Hua for a long time, and did not leave until the night slowly fell.
Before the key was released at the palace gate, Yang Tingxing quickly left the palace in the dark night. As night falls, the bustling crowd on the street has long since dispersed, and the hawkers are also packing up their stalls and preparing to go home, leaving only the inns and restaurants lined up. This is a good time for them to open their businesses. Yang Tingxing turned his stiff neck and looked around, trying to find a restaurant to eat. At this moment, he faintly saw a few people acting strangely from the corner of his eye, Yang Tingxing's spirits lifted immediately, he took a closer look, and found that these people were actually the subordinates of the Third Prince.
He immediately decided to follow up to see what kind of tricks they were playing. Three or five people walked forward furtively, and Yang Tingxing followed carefully, afraid of being discovered by them, so he followed from a distance. Before he knew it, he had deviated from the busy city and came to a dark and closed small street. alley.
All of a sudden, those three or five people disappeared out of thin air. Yang Tingxing rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had made a mistake, he hurriedly stepped forward to check, and just turned into an alley, Yang Tingxing felt that the atmosphere was not right, he stopped He felt that someone was following him, and before Yang Tingxing could turn his head, a sap hit him on the head, and the severe pain made him lose consciousness. Only then did he know that he had been tricked, completely Passed out.
In a daze, Yang Tingxing finally regained some consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, but found that he was in a dark place, trying to stand up, but the injured head and weak limbs made him unable to move. After a long time, Yang Tingxing realized that he was packed in a sack, and his curled limbs gradually became numb. He wanted to stand up on his knees, but his hands were tied together. He was struggling hard, and suddenly The door was opened with a "creak", followed by the voices of three men. Yang Tingxing guessed that the people who kidnapped him came in, so he hurried back to his original state, pretending that he was not awake, and wanted to hear what they were going to do.
One of the men said: "Brother, what's the use of us kidnapping this kid? Since the third prince wants to win the throne, why doesn't he directly attack the emperor?"
Another thick male baritone sounded: "You are stupid, the emperor is heavily guarded, how can you get close to him easily? Besides, the emperor's time is numbered if the third prince doesn't need to do it."
The man took a breath, and then asked: "What, you mean that the emperor may die at any time?"
"Yes, the emperor takes the big tonic pills that he tributes every year. He doesn't know that although the pills are beneficial to the body on the surface, they actually contain toxins. After taking it for more than ten years, his body has long been exhausted..." The other person in the voice explained.
"That being the case, why did the third prince arrest this person and use it to threaten the emperor?" The man asked puzzledly, "Although the emperor loves the seventh prince very much, the country and society are more important to the emperor. It may be useless for the seventh prince to change the throne with the emperor."
"You are stupid, who is the candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's mind? If the emperor fails, who will he pass the imperial edict to?" The man's stern voice sounded.
They were still talking about something, but Yang Tingxing in the sack could not listen anymore, his mind went blank, the news he just heard shocked him, he couldn't recover for a long time, his heart was in a mess, However, his eyes became wet unconsciously. The emperor, who supported him, is going to fall down like this? Yang Tingxing closed his eyes and breathed heavily, so as not to make any noise.
He had to figure out a way to get out of here.
On the other side, Ziqian stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark night in silence, the unfathomable city was hidden in his long and narrow Danfeng eyes, but his face was calm, with no expression of emotion or anger, no one would I can't figure out what he is thinking. Suddenly, a shiny silver object flew towards him in the darkness, and Ziqian's eyes instantly focused into a ray of light. He turned slightly sideways, and quickly grabbed the blunt silver dart, and he put the silver dart in the air. In the palm of his hand, he recognized that this was his special tool for sending messages.
Ziqian turned around and went back to the house, and put the silver dart under the candlelight to examine it carefully. His brows gradually wrinkled, as if he had received bad news. It turned out that the eyeliner in the palace reported to him that the emperor suddenly vomited blood while reviewing the memorial, and his health was not good, and the emperor ordered people to block the news and never let it out.
Ziqian put down the silver dart in his hand, but his brows kept frowning. He secretly guessed that the emperor ordered people to block the news. The meeting will be in such a physical state. collapse, the court will be in chaos.
Thinking of this, Ziqian's brows furrowed deeper, he pursed his lips, and stared at the dim moon outside the window in a daze, the bright moonlight couldn't bloom at all, but was covered by a few strands of dark clouds, making him look even more dim and confused, It seemed to indicate the physical condition of the emperor, and it also implied the future of the Yang family in the future. Ziqian shook his head and looked away from the moon. He closed his eyes slightly, but he was thinking in his heart that since the news of the emperor's vomiting blood could reach him, there must be rumors spreading to the court. Qian blew out the candle and placed himself in darkness.
It's true that Yang's world should be ruled by another person, but it's not now, the emperor can't die yet, a gleam of light flashed in Ziqian's eyes in the darkness.
Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, the ministers of the court played collectively as if they had made an appointment, and asked the emperor to make a crown prince. The emperor who had vomited blood was already very weak. He was supported by the eunuch and sat on the court hall, trying his best to support his mental state. Seeing that the ministers below were so concerned about the matter of opposing the prince, he knew that his physical condition might be serious. got leaked out.
"I heard that the emperor is in poor health. I didn't believe it at first. Today, I saw that the emperor is really not in good health. I hope the emperor will take care of the dragon body. The emperor has not yet appointed a prince, so why not take this opportunity to appoint a prince?" Minister they said.
