It was a festive day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, but some people who were determined to plan for others to make profits for themselves but could not succeed greatly destroyed the mood of the New Year.

Murong Ziye came out of the eldest prince's mansion, tightening the roe deer skin cloak on his body, but it didn't feel warm at all, and a burst of chill came out of his bones.

After getting on the carriage, I leaned against the wall of the carriage with thick cotton mats, and then I let out a long breath.

Murong Ziye knew that once his father closed his eyes, the pillars of their family would collapse. Because of the many disagreements in the past few years, the reputation of the Murong Mansion was much lower, both outside and within the Murong family. Only the father could control the scene. The eldest prince would value the Murong Mansion, which was also based on the fact that his father had accumulated over decades of relationships and "secrets" (the handle to control the man).

Murong Ziye is still in a free position from the fifth rank. What if... he still has three years of Dingyou. After three years, where will he have his place? Therefore, if his father is gone, they will be very sad in the future. His mother is not awake and is still busy eliminating the "annoying people" and even want him to join the Ding family. Only now does he understand what his father said: "It is my fault for his wife and a good husband, but it is not your problem."

Just when he was at a loss, his sister Concubine Li said that there should be a magical medicine given by Wu Zhenzi to revive the dead by the Marquis of Yongping. Because the Princess Zhangzhu, who had been sick for many years and was already dying, was cured by the elixir offered by Xia Shuyao. There was also the Queen Mother's disease. Although the Xia family said it was the medicine left by Zhen Zirou, it was hard to guarantee that the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family would put gold on their mother's face. After all, Zhen Zirou only got some medicinal recipes and could not cure the disease. Why would she leave medicine after she died?

However, it was obviously useless for Murong's mansion to seek medicine, and he was afraid he would not even have a door in. Murong Ziye and his sister wanted Yu Manlian to go, but Yu Manlian was forced to tell her that she had vented her anger for her cousin Mrs. You and treated Xia Shuyao privately and was ruthless.

Concubine Li had no choice but to ask Murong Ziye to find the eldest prince.

The eldest prince and his staff considered it. They thought it was profitable. On the one hand, they still had many places where they could use Murong Shangshu, and it would be better if they could be saved. The eldest prince was instinctive that the strangeness of Murong Shangshu's "illness" this time should be their opponents, but unfortunately there was no evidence. So many imperial physicians, doctors, and even miracle doctors Gao Mingde had been treated. Murong Shangshu showed no signs of poisoning.

On the other hand, if the "elixir" of the Yongping Marquis' Mansion is useless, they will put the charge of killing the Minister of Murong on the two Marquis' Mansions, saying that they have grudges and deliberately retaliated against them, and even if the emperor favors them and refuses to punish them, the rumors will be enough for them to bear. Even the emperor will doubt their character, and the emperor is a suspicious person.

So, as soon as Shujie returned to the capital today, he was summoned to the imperial study by the emperor. Surprisingly, the eldest prince and the five-year-old ninth prince were also there.

The ninth prince asked Shujie to ask Shuyao to save his grandfather. The eldest prince looked like a brotherly love: "Marty Yongping. Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level Buddhist temple. Ling Mei is a Buddhist and a lady from a wealthy family. She doesn't care about those rumors without evidence, and she is narrow-minded, right?"

Shujie said lightly: "Is it a rumor that God knows the earth knows the conscience? I don't care what the sister thinks. I am a narrow and extreme person. If I don't say that Simei has no magic medicine, I will not let her take it out even if there is. I, Xia Shujie, have always been a person who has kindness, revenge, and will revenge."

"Xia Shujie, you..." The eldest prince was so angry that his forehead was covered with blue veins. He didn't expect that Shujie would dare to be so arrogant even in front of the emperor. The lines he wanted to use to block Shujie's words were used first by Shujie. People themselves admitted that they were "narrow and extreme, and they would be revengeful." What else could you say?

For the emperor, it doesn’t matter whether the minister is “narrow and extreme, and he will be vengeful”. As long as he is loyal to the emperor, he is capable, and his reputation is too kind and perfect, and he is flawless, so the emperor can’t sit still.

Just like Jin Xida, if it weren't for "quirks, arrogance, and unfilial", the emperor might not have valued him so much, and he praised him as "my best friend" in front of all civil and military officials.

As the emperor's best friend, if he is friendly, trustworthy and reliable to everyone, will the emperor dare to use him?

Shujie seemed not to see the eldest prince's clenched fists, and his voice was still calm: "Since Lord Murong is seriously ill, you should look for an imperial physician, not a girl from a boudoir. The eldest prince, not everyone can believe anything. If my master really had any magic medicine for the son sister, would my father die?"

"..." The eldest prince choked. How did he and his aides forget this? Xia Linxuan was resurrected from the dead and died again. But what happened after Wu Zhenzi returned to Yulin Town and lived with the three Xia brothers and sisters in the Xia family for half a year. If they really had a magic pill, how could Xia Linxuan die? Even if they wanted to spread this matter and trap the three Xia family brothers and sisters in the reputation of "short mind and not saving them when they die", they would only accuse the rumored people of bad intentions, right? If there is a magic pill, wouldn't he save his own father?

"This, Lord Murong is not as ill as he is not as serious as Mr. Xia. He has improved a lot. Now he mainly needs to be recuperated. Didn't Miss Xia's rehabilitation prescription save Aunt Zhangzhu? There is also a headache for the father." As soon as the eldest prince said, he suddenly felt "bad!" He seemed to have said too much...

Sure enough, the emperor glanced at him coldly, without saying a word, but the eldest prince's back immediately became wet. At the request of Shujie and his three brothers and sisters, only two or three people around the emperor, as well as the doctor Yao, who was in charge of the emperor's body, knew where the eldest prince knew about it?

The eldest prince complained secretly, but now everything he said was wrong, and he would only become more and more smeared. It would be better to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Shujie refused to let go easily. Before he could start a call and quit, Shujie said again: "Since it's just a care, why should the eldest prince say such serious words as 'saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda'?

Emperor, when it comes to this matter, I really feel very strange. Murong Shangshu's body has always looked very good. Suddenly, he said he was sick, and he was sick so much that several imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital, even the Ghost Doctor Gao, were helpless. Now he has been very happy in a few days and just needs to be recuperated. Haha, why do I feel like I am using a magic trick? Your Majesty, will it be a sudden, uh, again...?"

It is really a bit stingy to say this now. It is obvious that Murong Shangshu's illness is a conspiracy. As for who was manipulating the conspiracy and what the purpose is, then... it is unknown.

The eldest prince heard it in his ears and felt it was not a big deal. When he saw the emperor looking at him with a smile, he suddenly felt that if Shangshu Murong had disappeared in a few days, he had just said, "It's already great, and now it's mainly because he needs to be recuperated." He is indeed very similar to the "playing trick" person in Xia Shujie's mouth.

The eldest prince is sure that he has hit the brick today.

After the eldest prince, the ninth prince and Shujie left, the emperor sighed leisurely: "It's also ambition and ruthless, but it's not smart enough."

Dafuzi's father-in-law muttered carefully: "Marquis Yongping has always been good-natured, but he just can't touch his family."

The emperor laughed: "Did you know Shujie only today? Do you remember that he was less than 18 years old at that time, and he said to me, "If a single room is not governed, why is the whole country and the whole country?"

Dafuzi hurriedly smiled and said, "Remember, just like yesterday. But the Marquis' attitude today is really tough."

The emperor suddenly stood up: "If he treats everyone so well, he will not be a good person, hahaha. OK, you don't have to test me anymore. I can see more clearly in my heart than anyone else. If you go to Luoyanju, you may have a trick to see."

After the New Year, it’s time to be crowned princes to several princes! We’re always dragging them like this, and everyone is tired.

...

As soon as the eldest prince returned to the mansion, he sent someone to call Murong Ziye, summarized Shujie's words, and said fiercely: "What kind of magic medicine? If there is a magic medicine, Xia Linxuan will die? It's all you, which makes me feel so embarrassed today. Listen to you. No matter what, even if you only breathe a sigh of relief, Murong Tao (Murong Shangshu) has to be delayed for at least three or four months.

Murong Ziye was stunned on the spot. Three or four months? How is it possible? The imperial doctors and doctors all said that it is a miracle to survive the first month of the year, so it is just a breath, right? Otherwise, how could they think of asking the Xia family?

The eldest prince waved impatiently: "No matter what you do, in short, if the news of your death is heard within three months, I want you to look good!"

Murong Ziye tightened his cloak again. Why is the carriage so cold today? The cold wind is pouring into his neck? Three or four months? What if... can I freeze it with ice in the cellar?

If his father cannot be buried in peace after his death, how can he be like a son?

Murong Ziye felt so helpless for the first time. He suddenly thought that if he had not married Xiao Ding at that time, or had not demoted his wife to a concubine later, and had not divorced Zhen Zirou, would all this not happen now? Since Zhen Zirou is his lucky star, Chongxi saved him, why did he make him so helpless now? Retribution? Is there really retribution?

Fortunately, Shuyao couldn't hear Murong Ziye's voice, otherwise she would have sneered coldly: Retribution? It's still early? This was just an appetizer before, and the real retribution has not yet begun.

But Shu Yao is not available now. She just received two posts, both of which were banquets in the first lunar month, one was the birthday of Qi Yuexin, the eldest daughter of Prince Yong's mansion, and the other was the plum blossom banquet of Prince An Guofuyan.
