Du Rui's words didn't make Zhou Hai give up anything. On the contrary, Zhou Hai took care of her more carefully, hoping that the ninth princess would get better soon. However, the sky didn't work out, and the ninth Princess didn't carry it.
Zhou Hai came out with his head down and his heart full of frustration, and shook his head slightly to Du Rui who was guarding outside the house.
Du Rui was not surprised by the result. From the moment when the ninth princess gave birth to wenpo and asked for permission, the ninth princess's life was basically in a precarious state.
"The Emperor..."
Du Rui and Zhou Hai are worried when they look at emperor Kangxian's silence. Especially Zhou Hai, who is most aware of emperor Kangxian's physical condition, hesitates to remind them that they can't be overjoyed. Although they don't know why the emperor attaches importance to the nine Princesses' mansion, Zhou Hai instinctively feels that the emperor is nervous. The nine Princesses' mother and son are not supposed to be the hostages of the nine princesses.
"Must not be back yet?"
Kang Xiandi only asked such a question. According to the time, after the letter was sent out, it was time for the ninth prince to turn around. Now this kind of thing happened again. I'm afraid that he would come back at night.
Du Rui also murmured that the people arranged by the emperor should have arrived a long time ago. If the ninth Prince knew the truth of his life, the emperor would not have much time. How could he hurry back? Why hasn't he arrived yet?!
As soon as Wei Lanting received the news from the little eunuch, he quickly went to the fifth Prince's mansion. As soon as he got off the horse, he saw that the gate of the fifth Prince's mansion was closed, and then he went around to the corner gate. According to the usual agreement, he knocked on the door and flashed into it.
"Your Highness, is that a decision?"
Wei Lanting looked at the hundreds of people gathered in the courtyard and asked the man around him.
"The news of the death of the ninth princess will soon spread to the East China Sea, and the news that the people who were sent to deliver the letter were intercepted by us will certainly come back. By that time, they will be on guard, and it will be difficult for them to do things again."
The fifth prince said calmly that the current situation was very serious and not conducive to himself. Wei Lanting nodded his head to show his approval.
"In this case, when your highness is going to start, the five City Army and the imperial city guard are in control, waiting for your Highness's order."
"No, the military department of the five cities and the imperial guard can't be used as a last resort. The prince can't bear the name of Patricide and regicide. The throne should be rightfully won."
Different from Wei Lanting's informal style of doing things, the fifth Prince wanted to keep his name in the history books, but he didn't want to be forced into the palace. Even the name of the Qing emperor would be criticized by later generations.
"But at your Highness's command."
Wei Lanting arched his hand toward the fifth prince, and the people standing in the courtyard knelt down one after another, lowering their heads and expressing their loyalty silently.
"You can do it in the East China Sea. You can send a letter. When it's time, I will go into the palace and ask the emperor to write the imperial edict."
"Yes, I'll do it now."
Kang Xiandi looked at the fifth Prince standing in his highness, his brow wrinkled, his eyes full of disgust.
"What are you doing in the palace at this time?"
Emperor Kang Xian is always upset recently. The ninth princess is dead. He only hopes that Juner can respond. Even if he doesn't go back to Beijing immediately, there should be a word. Now the news of the death of the ninth princess has not been passed. He was afraid that it would affect his state against the enemy. Now it seems that he should be recalled directly by an imperial edict.
"Father Huang is worried about Uncle Huang's situation in the East China Sea?"
Today, the fifth Prince has lost his patience. From childhood to the yelling uncle Huang, he always thought that he had a big generation. He didn't expect that he was a fake. He was so famous with his half brother that he called Uncle Huang for many years. It's ridiculous to think about it.
"You don't have to worry about this battle. If there's nothing important, go back."
Emperor Kangxian was tired and wanted to yawn, but he held back because of his father's face.
"If my father is waiting for uncle Huang to return, I'm afraid he will be disappointed."
"What are you talking about?"?! How presumptuous
Emperor Kangxian didn't expect that the five princes who always abide by the rules would say such words. He was stunned for a moment and then sank his face.
"Don't you think it's funny? He thought he had protected him and even wanted to give him the throne, but he asked him what he wanted! "
"What are you... What are you talking about?"
Looking at Kang Xiandi's stunned expression, the feeling of being neglected all these years suddenly became joyful.
"People who tried hard to protect in those days are just like this now..."
Kang Xiandi trembled and stood up, pointing to the fifth prince with a look of disdain.
"Why do you... Why do you know that?"
"Don't you know that if you want people to know, you can't do it yourself? It's so clear in that letter. Didn't father ever think that this letter would never reach Qin Zhun? "
"Poof"
Kangxiandi felt a stabbing pain in his throat, and then he spewed out a mouthful of blood. The fifth prince was stunned for a moment, and then he showed such an expression.
"My father's health is not as good as before. It's time to think about the future of this big week. Qin Zhun is an ordinary man who indulges in the love between men and women. He can't support this big week. Only I am the most suitable person."
"Ha ha, you rebellious son, you can't expect to get this dragon chair. I'll wait for him to come back and let him recognize his ancestors in person! Come on
There was a silence outside the house, and Kang Xiandi looked at the people in front of him in disbelief.
"How dare you force the palace?"
"My father is serious. I just want to make a suggestion with my father. Qin must know that the nine princesses are gone. He is so depressed that he doesn't even care about the war. How can such a person be of great use?"
"I didn't tell you anything about the death of the ninth princess. It's your ulterior motives to go to the East China Sea..."
"If he is really a useful person, what if he knows it?"?! Which one is more important in the world? As a future king, it's not clear?! The father and the Emperor just have a lot of preferences for him because of the relationship between the yuan imperial concubine and the empress. Have you ever seen the efforts behind his son? How can Qin be compared with me? "
When the fifth Prince mentioned imperial concubine yuan, Emperor Kangxian's expression suddenly became sinister. If it had not been for the death of imperial concubine yuan, he would not have been transferred to jiuwangfu for fear of Qin Zhun's consolation, and he would have lost the chance to learn imperial skills. Therefore, the source of all this lies in the harem.
"If you want to ascend the throne, you can't get around me. I can do what you want, unless..."
"Except for what?"
The fifth Prince frowned and instinctively felt that there must be no good words for Kang Xiandi's sudden cooperation.
"You can't think of it unless you kill your mother's wife yourself!"
