Just in this sad atmosphere.

But there was no expression on someone's face.

King Zhu Zhili of Anhua stood with some clan relatives. At this time... everything has been planned and it is time to find out the plan.

Many clan relatives stood on Zhu Zhili's side, muttering in a low voice.

At this time, Fang Jifan's carriage and horses arrived. It was getting late, and Fang Jifan came neither too late.

He took his hands behind his back and got off the carriage, and many people looked at him.

Fang Jifan looked as if no one else was around, and was still so arrogant and domineering.

In the eyes of others, I thought to myself that the Duke of Qi is really overestimated. Humph, such a person who doesn’t know the worldly ways will suffer a great loss sooner or later!

Fang Jifan was as if no one was around.

But Zhu Zhili suddenly said, "Hey, where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Where there have always been Fang Jifan, there must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

What day is today?

To put it bluntly, today is the day when Your Majesty is about to make a grand ceremony and he is going to prepare for his orphanage.

Your Majesty is seriously ill, but His Royal Highness has disappeared so far.

It's okay, but at this time today, I can't see anyone.

Is this arguable?

really……

After Zhu Zhili reminded him, many people looked around but saw no trace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As a result, many people became even more worried.

Your Highness the Crown Prince...this...this is too much.

This is what happened when His Majesty was seriously ill. After becoming the emperor, I still don’t know what his wildness looks like.

Liu Jian and others sighed heavily in their hearts...

The prince disappointed them so much.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Zhili and responded: "Where is the prince? What do you have to do with you? Who are you?"

Zhu Zhili: "..."

Some clan relatives behind him were gritting their teeth.

Who is Zhu Zhili? He is a noble man in heaven and a descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao. You Fang Jifan dare to treat the royal family like this.

Zhu Zhili smiled reluctantly and said, "I, Zhu Zhili, don't think the Duke of Qi will recognize you."

Fang Jifan's face still did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Oh, Zhu Zhili, although I haven't heard of it, but... have you paid your mortgage?"

Have you paid your mortgage?

Mortgage loan...

Those clans who were still very fighting last second suddenly looked like deflated balloons, their eyes began to float, and their faces were very unnatural.

Zhu Zhili: "..."

Fang Jifan said with an unhappy look: "I was just about to tell you that Xishan Money House has rules, it is a place where you can do business every time. You can't just let the princes get the vassal just because they want it. You can't pay back the money you owed, and you can just collect the house if you don't pay it back..."

Fang Jifan was just talking, but the Meridian Gate was open.

Zhu Zhili and others were so angry that they could see that Liu Jian and others had already entered, and the rest were in one after another.

It seemed that it was really not worth it to have a conflict with Fang Jifan now, so I swallowed this breath.

Zhu Zhili looked around and looked again, and was sure that the crown prince had not come, and he was secretly happy.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared not come. This is not just a look of a king, but it is simply unfaithful and unfilial.

The group hurried into Fengtian Palace.

However, a screen was set up in Fengtian Hall to cover Emperor Hongzhi behind the screen.

When the ministers went in, they only saw the screen, but they did not see the emperor. They all felt a slump in their hearts.

Xiao Jing stood in front of the screen and looked at the officials.

All the ministers gave great gifts one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi did not make any noise.

This is even more worrying.

They only vaguely saw a figure behind the screen.

Xiao Jing looked around and said at the top of his throat: "Your Majesty is sick and it is not convenient to meet you. I will follow Your Majesty's oral instructions and be fair to you."

Everyone just got up.

Liu Jian's eyes became even redder and he almost burst into tears.

Xiao Jing said in surprise: "Where is Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

really……

The main owner did not come!

Emperor Hongzhi behind the screen was indeed Zhizhu, but when he heard that the prince was missing at this critical moment, his face slightly darkened.

"Duke of Qi..." Xiao Jing glanced at Fang Jifan: "Don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is?"

Fang Jifan said: "I came from the West Mountain early in the morning and didn't see the prince. I think the prince is coming...is coming."

"His Majesty!"

Just at this moment...

Finally someone couldn't help it.

It's tolerant.

Who is intolerable!

The one who stood up was Wang Hong, the head of the Ministry of Rites.

Wang Hong said heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not heard from you for many days. The Crown Prince is the crown prince. Now Your Majesty is seriously ill, but Your Majesty is only concerned about playing. Where is this place for the people? I, who are the Ming Dynasty, govern the world with filial piety. If you are the crown prince, you should set an example, but now...ah..."

The hall suddenly became an uproar.

Xiao Jing only looked at these whispering ministers coldly.

Your Majesty still kept silent.

He forced a smile: "I think that the Crown Prince has indeed delayed it."

"I wonder what your Majesty summoned me to come?" At this time, Zhu Liu couldn't help but feel excited when he saw the time was coming.

These clans knew their nature. When they were scolding secretly, they were furious. When they arrived in front of the imperial court, they were all so nervous that they didn't dare to speak.

It seems that I can only stand up and cheer everyone up first. Isn’t this the best time?

Xiao Jing was about to open his mouth to answer Zhu Li.

Zhu Wen sneered in his heart and said seriously: "I am not asking about Eunuch Xiao, but I am asking about Your Majesty. Your Majesty... I am summoning all officials, why don't I show up, but only let Eunuch Xiao be here? Since Emperor Taizu Gao, I have never heard of it. The emperor summoned all officials, but met through the screen without saying a word. Your Majesty is like this, which makes me very worried. I beg Your Majesty to remove the screen so that I can let you... There is no need to speculate privately."

"What to guess?"

A voice came out faintly.

This is the voice of Emperor Hongzhi.

The sound is very light.

I don’t know if it’s because the voice owner is weak.

Although Zhu Li had already planned and knew that the emperor was seriously ill and was about to die soon, he became brave, but suddenly he heard Emperor Hongzhi's words still shocked him.

So Zhu Lie hurriedly said, "There are many rumors in the market, all saying that Your Majesty is seriously ill and the subjects are very frightened."

Emperor Hongzhi's voice said: "I was indeed a little uncomfortable a few days ago."

Zhu Lie said, "I don't know that your Majesty... I'm not healthy now."

Emperor Hongzhi's voice said: "Still good!"

The word Shangke made Zhu Li feel relieved.

What he was most worried about was that His Majesty had no health problems. Although His Majesty said it was acceptable, he thought that this was very likely because His Majesty had some taboos in announcing his condition.

It also shows that Your Majesty has known the current dangerous situation and dared not announce the deterioration of his body to the public... Your Majesty has already developed a precaution against his relatives. If His Majesty had prevented him in normal times, he would have dealt with it decisively long ago, so why hasn't he been in any movement?

My own plan...is successful.

Although Your Majesty is guarded, he is helpless about the current situation. He obviously has great concerns.
