When the Emperor fell ill, it caused a lot of criticism in the imperial court. He never expected that after just two days, there would be even more shocking news that spread out from the palace — — the Emperor was already unconscious!
Like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, the front and back of the imperial court was bustling with noise and excitement. Only the Li Residence was still as calm as it was in the past.
"Prince, who do you think released this news?"
Baili Jinxiu played with the medicine in his hand, and casually asked Gong Xiaoxuan who was reading the letter. The entire palace was controlled by Gong Xiaohan and the Princess Mingxi. The empress dowager did not care about the matters and the Emperor was also bewitched by the Princess Mingxi.
Gong Xiaoxuan glanced at his Little Princess, who was fiddling with the medicine and thinking about other things. A warm smile appeared on the face of the rarely seen ice mountain, he then walked over and handed over the letter given by the hidden guard.
With a smile mixed in her eyes, the corner of Leng Ning's mouth slightly curled up as she said, "With the current situation of Grean Yan, there will definitely be someone who will muddy the waters."
After Baili Jinxiu finished reading the letter ten lines at a glance, his original absent-mindedness disappeared.
"Then what does Prince plan to do now?"
The letter said that someone had secretly spread the news that the Emperor was unconscious, and it was under the condition that both Gong Xiaohan and were unaware of it. Gong Xiaohan had already invited the crown prince to the crown prince's residence, which was probably why he was so anxious.
Gong Xiaoxuan looked at Baili Jinxiu, his eyes filled with love.
"This delicate person from the Grean Yan is unjustly staying in the palace. Since the Emperor is unconscious, then as the crown prince, Gong Xiaohan naturally has to fulfill his duties as the crown prince."
The guest was naturally referring to the Princess Mingxi. With such a clever person like Baili Jinxiu, he understood immediately.
Rather than fighting Ming Yi or Gong Xiaohan, it would be better to let them fight inside themselves and wait until both of them were injured before acting as fishermen's leaders.
Baili Jinxiu revealed a complacent fox-like expression, and said joyfully: "Then we'll wait for His Highness the crown prince to stand to the side."
After he finished speaking, Gong Xiaoxuan had already arranged for people to invite some of the ministers whom Gong Xiaohan had yet to win over. Perhaps everyone was anxious, and in less than two hours, they had all gathered at Li Palace.
Baili Jinxiu stretched out his head and looked in the direction of the study while fiddling with the herbs in his hands. It wasn't until the sky turned yellow that the door to the study opened. However, based on everyone's expressions …
Baili Jinxiu pursed his lips and smiled. Looking at the crowd's expressions, it seemed like they had finished their negotiations.
"Prince has quite the way to tame people. Before he left, that assistant minister did not forget to flatter you."
Baili Jin's tone carried a bit of mockery, a crafty look flashing across his intelligent eyes. Gou Xiaoliu's eyes darkened as he pulled Baili Jin into his embrace. Breathing in his ear, he whispered, "It's just that I have a common interest. But I actually have a way to tame my wife. Do you want to try?
"Gong's Father, stupid mother, baby is so hungry …"
The baby's voice suddenly came from behind, scaring Baili Jinxiu as if he was a thief as he jumped out of Gong Xiaoxuan's embrace, covering his flushed face as he glared at Gong Xiaoxuan.
It is considered a failure of education to let the baby see these unsuitable scenes of children! Baili Jinxiu was embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Master Gong didn't care at all. He scooped up the little baby on the ground and laughed softly.
"Come, let's go eat."
The night passed without any ripples, and Gong Xiaoxuan had already woken up early to prepare for the morning assembly. Although the news that Emperor was unconscious had spread out from the palace, he was definitely unable to host the morning assembly. However, the morning assembly still had to go, or else they would leave people with a clue. Moreover, there would be a good show today!
Baili Jinxiu then took out his brush to write a letter, and had the hidden guards send it to Yolk Sect.
The matter of the child's disappearance and murder was definitely not simple. However, she couldn't leave the house at this time in order to avoid causing even greater losses. Therefore, she could only ask the Grandpa Mu to pay attention to what was so strange about the murder case, and go to the palace to find out where the child had been taken. Other than that, there was nothing she could do.
Seeing the hidden guard leave the manor with this letter, Baili Jinxiu felt a burst of irritation. The taste of being in the shadows of an enemy was truly unpleasant, it was just like when you fiercely punched cotton;
A cold wind blew by the window, calming Baili Jinxiu's restless heart a little. The sky of Grean Yan was about to change.
Gong Xiaoxuan returned home at noon, his expression as joyous and furious as usual, but Baili Jinxiu realised that his Master Gong did not have any Qi that prevented strangers from entering, and obviously he was in a good mood, seems like his plan had succeeded.
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere in King Li's Palace, the atmosphere in the palace of the Emperor was somewhat stifling.
The orange palace dress gave the enchanting Princess Mingxi a unique and seductive feel. She lightly leaned on the imperial concubine's bed, lazy but tempting.
"What are you doing here, don't tell me you want to give Gong Xiaoxuan a hand?" Princess Mingxi's voice was still as charming as before, but it carried a hint of disdain and cold.
Gong Xiaohan didn't care about the disdain in Princess Mingxi's words, and walked to the luxurious dragon bed, and looked at Emperor lying on it, his face pale white, as he took his pulse in disbelief.
As a prince, although Gong Xiaohan was not exceptional, but he had come into contact with martial arts and poison, just that he had a lot of them and was not good at them.
Emperor's pulse was gentle yet weak, as though it was being suppressed by something. It did not show any signs of being poisoned, which was very strange, and it was no wonder that all the people who had sent out their Imperial Hospital were helpless.
"If I still don't come, someone will send you back to the Moru Country tomorrow."
Gong Xiaohan casually threw Emperor's hand onto the blanket, walked over to the chair and sat down, then looked at Princess Mingxi with a vulture expression.
"Hoh, who has the guts to dare to touch me? Did the Grean Yan Crown Prince forget about our cooperation? "
The vulture on Gong Xiaohan's face dimmed down, but his eyebrows were still knitted tightly, he fiddled with the cup in his hands and said: Today at the assembly, Gong Xiaoxuan had gathered a bunch of officials to say that Emperor is not feeling well, and that it is inappropriate for you, the princess of Moru Country, to stay in the palace without a name, let me clear it up! Jun! "Sideway!"
The two words "Qing Jun's side" stuttered as a hint of threat appeared, but Gong Xiaohan changed the subject and calmed his tone.
"We're still cooperating, so I naturally won't agree and will suppress this matter."
However, if I could suppress it for a while, if Gong Xiaoxuan were to bring it up again or cause trouble for the empress dowager, I wouldn't be able to do anything. I've contributed to our cooperation, so we'll have to depend on you for the rest. "
