The assassination incident ended with the death of the fifth prince.

Qi Hanchuan didn't go back to the palace, he just found some reason to urge the old emperor's hints, and let him go when the emperor couldn't sit still.

Unsurprisingly, after a few days, the old emperor showed signs of loosening up.

Coincidentally at this time, inexplicable rumors spread outside the palace, saying that the daughter of the prime minister and the regent's childhood sweetheart agree in love and will soon marry into the palace.

As soon as the rumors started, Qi Hanchuan immediately got people to suppress them. Obviously they didn't spread much, and Yu Jinchun heard the news during the night meeting that day.

"The daughter of the Prime Minister is raised in a deep boudoir, and I have never met her before." Qi Hanchuan looked at Yu Jinchun who was hesitant to speak for several times, and explained: "At most, I only met a few times when I went to find the prime minister, and I never talked to her."

The young man with slightly gloomy brows bent his eyes when he heard the words.

Qi Hanchuan asked: "Who told you this?"

"Yu Li." Yu Jinchun remembered Yu Li's awkward but sincere appearance when he came, and added: "He probably didn't do it on purpose, he came to apologize today, and called my brother, and heard a little eunuch talking about outside rumors,You only told me when you were about to leave, and you also said the same thing as you, asking me to believe you."

Qi Hanchuan pondered for a moment, and said: "I'm investigating this matter, maybe someone deliberately told Yu Li, and then let him tell you, you are all today, I have never looked for you, and the people behind the scenes will definitely take the next step after seeing it.”

"Yeah!" Yu Jinchun nodded, with pure trust on his face.

The timid servant who used to be timid has become a golden little prince step by step, and his temperament has become more and more noble, as bright as the sun and stars.

Qi Hanchuan looked at the young man with bright eyebrows, his lips curled up slightly, his eyes were soft, and he gently stroked his hair.

...

It was not easy for the prince to do something that needed him to do. Yu Jinchun put in all his energy to fully interpret the emotions of being sad, doubtful and afraid to ask because of rumors.Secretly showing it to the attendants in the palace in all directions.

The next day, the emperor summoned.

When Yu Jinchun walked to the entrance of the main hall, all the eunuchs and maids accompanying him were stopped, including Eleven who was disguised as a little eunuch.

Yu Jinchun's eyes narrowed slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of countless emperor's guards around him, and whispered to the eleventh class to find an opportunity to report the news, put on a smile amidst the urging of the chief eunuch who walked out of the hall, and entered the hall.

The heavy wooden door shut abruptly.

Yu Jinchun saw the old emperor lying on the bed coughing at a glance, with deep wrinkles on his face, much older than before.

"Father." Yu Jinchun did not step forward after saluting, and asked nervously and worriedly standing where he was: "Father is not feeling well? Is there any doctor Xuan?"

"The imperial doctor has seen that the old man is sick. Good boy, come here." The old emperor coughed a few times and waved kindly with a smile. The chief eunuch guarding the entrance of the main hall immediately brought a carved wooden stool, placed it in front of the bed, and then stood back.in situ.

Yu Jinchun glanced at him, sat on the stool, was clapped by the old emperor, concealed the coldness and disgust hidden in his eyes, put his hands into the sleeves of his robe without any trace, and asked, "Why is the emperor looking for me?"?”

The old emperor answered irrelevantly, and sighed: "Father is old, your older brothers are not up to the task, and the little twelve is unbearable. Only you, several great scholars praised you for your quick thinking, long-term memory, and ability to manage the world....If the imperial concubine hadn't been assassinated that day, you wouldn't have been reduced to suffering outside for more than ten years."

Since returning to the palace, the old emperor invited several great Confucian lecturers and dozens of court ladies and guards. It sounded like he was letting him devote himself to his studies, but in fact it was to separate him from the prince and not allow them to meet.

What's more, why did he suffer outside for more than ten years?It is obvious that Concubine Shu's body has been found, and he is only one step away from finding him.

Yu Jinchun moved his eyelashes slightly, suppressed the ridicule in his eyes, and shook his head with a flustered expression: "Father is absurd, I can't afford to be a son, no one expected what happened back then, it's good to be able to return to Father's side now.”

Yu Jinchun spat silently, and saw that the old emperor's smile grew wider and turned serious again, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jiu, tell the truth to your father, do you have a relationship with the regent? The regent was assassinated that day.you……"

Yu Jinchun's eyes flickered slightly, and he remained silent.

Seeing his acquiescence, the old emperor hammered off the bed angrily: "You are confused! The regent is a heartless man, with so many beauties in the backyard, do you know how many of them died at his hands? He knew you when he was in the south of the Yangtze River.It's the prince, who deliberately deceived you to make you the most loyal chess piece, so that he can step on you in the future! Presumably he must have said that he would help you sit on this dragon chair!"

Not really, Yu Jinchun thought reservedly, what the prince promised was to let him be the princess, how can an emperor who needs to stay up late to approve memorials have a leisurely day, and the princess with the prince by his side is good?

He can still tell the difference between seeing the prince once a day and seeing the prince every day.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Jinchun continued to perform the trick, pretending to be shocked and heartbroken, looking at the old emperor, wiping the tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and choked up, saying: "Father, I heard someone say yesterday that the prince is going to meet with his relatives."Is it true that Fu Qianjin got married? Does he really only regard me as a pawn?"

The old emperor didn't seem to have expected that Yu Jinchun would ask him so bluntly, he was stunned for a moment in embarrassment, and said paradoxically: "It's a rumor, but the regent has indeed been in and out of the prime minister's residence many times for a while."

Yu Jinchun is sure, the rumors above must have been deliberately passed on to him by the emperor, what exactly does the old emperor want to do?

He lowered his head in disbelief and despair, but he was actually waiting for the main event.

Trembling, the old emperor took out a small bottle and a bright yellow imperial decree from the side of his pillow, and said, "Xiao Jiu, power can solve all troubles in the world. You don't need him to give you the throne, but your father can give it to you.The prince's edict, as long as you become the supreme person, you can easily abolish Qi Hanchuan's arm and imprison him in your palace. No matter how you play with him, he can't escape. Wouldn't it be better to bet on him?Really treat you strong?"

Yu Jinchun's thoughts diverged uncontrollably, his ears were hot, he hurriedly slapped away the rebellious and profane thoughts, took a deep breath, followed the old emperor's wishes, and when he raised his head again, his phoenix eyes revealed the bright ambition and desire, will definitely look at the imperial decree.

The old emperor showed such an expression, smiled, and handed him the small bottle first: "Yes, power is the best thing in the world. Xiao Jiu, give the regent the pill inside. He has a headache. This medicineIt will cause him a headache and blindness for several months, and when he accepts it, I will give you the imperial decree, and together, father and son, we will overthrow the regent's party."

"The imperial doctor said that the father can only live for two months at most. You only need to wait for two months. This world is yours, and there is a regent at your disposal." The old emperor tempted.

Yu Jinchun's heart skipped a beat, looking at the vial, and the old emperor's gradually crazy expression.

The other side of the palace.

Qi Hanchuan, who had just found out who was behind the rumors, received a tip-off from the palace maid. From his residence to the main hall, as soon as he got outside the door, he saw Yu Jinchun, who was smiling and calm, walked out of the hall, followed by the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

Seeing Qi Hanchuan, Yu Jinchun glanced at the person following behind him calmly. The chief eunuch shook his head at him. He straightened his expression, pretended to pause for a while, and smiled and went up: "Why is the prince here?"?”

Qi Hanchuan sized him up carefully for a moment, and said, "This king has something to discuss with His Majesty. I haven't seen the Ninth Prince for a long time, how is your body?"

Yu Jinchun heard that he was worried about himself, and his eyes were full of smiles. Because of the people around him, he gritted his teeth in his heart, and tried to maintain a calm expression and said: "Shang Ke, the lord should go to the father, don't delay."

Qi Hanchuan nodded, and when passing by, he vaguely saw the eunuch pulling Yu Jinchun, and Yu Jinchun suddenly said: "Is the prince free after talking? Can we meet?"

"good."

Qi Hanchuan watched the young man go away, as if nothing had happened, he retracted the palm that had been scratched when he passed by, and the eunuch beside him said in a high-pitched voice, "My lord, please."

He withdrew his gaze and stepped into the hall.

When the old emperor saw him, there was no difference. Qi Hanchuan talked about a few things about the court, and as soon as the words fell, the old emperor said that the Ninth Prince had just told him that he wanted to get together with the regent.

Keenly aware that the old emperor wanted him to meet Yu Jinchun, Qi Hanchuan thought for a moment, and followed suit.

This time he went to Yu Jinchun's palace openly and aboveboard.

Yu Jinchun retreated from the crowd, and when there were only two people left, his expression suddenly relaxed, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Qi Hanchuan.During a period of time, you often went in and out of the prime minister's mansion and fell in love with that daughter. You were not sincere to me, but you just wanted to step on me and give me this. You said you had a headache and asked me to eat it for you.A sudden seizure of power."

With a guilty conscience, he concealed the fact that the emperor wanted him to circle/confuse the prince for molesting/playing with him, and he himself let go of it.

"It's unbelievable to sow discord." Qi Hanchuan patted Yu Jinchun's head, picked up the small porcelain bottle, looked at it, sniffed it lightly, half-closed his eyes, and recognized that it was the spice used by the third prince to poison the original ownerConcentrated medicine.

There is also some ingredients in it, after swallowing, no matter whether you have a headache or not, you will definitely die.

"What is it?" Yu Jinchun asked curiously.

Qi Hanchuan didn't hide anything, and saw that the young man who was still gentle and smiling just now changed his face suddenly, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were covered with icy cold for a moment, and he looked at the small porcelain bottle and wanted to chop it into pieces.

Qi Hanchuan paused.

Yu Jinchun blinked, his expression calmed down a little, but it was still cloudy, his nails were embedded in his palms, and his voice trembled a little: "He said that it will only make you have a headache and blindness for a short time, and it will return to normal in a few months."

Of course, he wouldn't simply believe what the emperor said, but to die...he couldn't imagine what would happen if the emperor really got his hands on it.

No wonder the emperor looked so crazy, it was on purpose.

Qi Hanchuan opened his palm, listened to him intermittently saying what the emperor said, and said softly: "You have done a good job, the old emperor will definitely think that you are fascinated by power in the palace at this moment, and give me medicine. I will take care of this matter."Solve it, you rest for now."

Yu Jinchun shook his head, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "If you go out now, the emperor will be on guard. I'll go. When he relaxes, I—"

Qi Hanchuan blocked his lips, exchanged a lingering kiss with him, successfully calmed Yu Jinchun down, tilted his head in confusion, and looked at him puzzled.

Qi Hanchuan wanted to tease him, and lightly flicked Xia Yu Jinchun's forehead: "Aren't you timid?"

Yu Jinchun clutched his forehead.

For the prince, he can.

Just as Yu Jinchun was about to speak, Qi Hanchuan said, "It's too risky to act like this. Have you ever considered your own consequences?"

Qi Hanchuan sighed, and said, "Why did the emperor want you to prescribe medicine? He couldn't find the right person and the right time. Now that the front court and the harem are almost all under my control, I can only use power to seduce you."

Yu Jinchun didn't speak, just looked at him silently.

Qi Hanchuan pinched his face with a smile: "The eunuchs and maids outside your palace are all my people, otherwise why would I come every day and no one would notice?"

Yu Jinchun was dumbfounded, his eyes widened in shock.

But my lord turned over so many skylights...

"Cooperating with you, didn't you have a lot of fun these days?" Qi Hanchuan smiled slightly, remembering the shy and slightly excited cute look of the young man.

Yu Jinchun blushed and became angry from embarrassment: "My lord!"

"En." Qi Hanchuan responded, seeing that he had recovered, kissed his hot cheek, and said, "So take a good rest, sleep, and I will do the rest."

How could Yu Jinchun fail to see that the prince was trying to relieve his tense emotions?With a sour heart, he emphasized: "Then when I wake up, the prince must stand in front of me properly, or he will be punished and let me be the princess immediately."

"Okay." Qi Hanchuan laughed lowly.

But that should not be a punishment, but a reward.
