Although the news of Zhao Xu's critical illness was blocked by Li Duzhi at the first time, people with a heart still learned about it through some channels.

Zhao Ji's doorman is one of them, and this doorman is responsible for collecting all kinds of information for Zhao Ji. For example, who is married to whom, who is at odds with whom, and of course, he has the opportunity to collect some more secret information.

After Zhao Ji got into the carriage, he ordered the coachman to drive straight to the palace, and along the way, Zhao Ji kept his eyes on the car window, looking at the street scene, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness. But one thing is certain, he must not have any good ideas when he entered the palace in such a hurry.

No one dared to stop Duanwang's carriage, although it was strange what Duanwang was going to do when he went out so early, but the pedestrians on the street immediately made way for Zhao Ji.

The road was unimpeded, and Zhao Ji arrived at the palace. The palace gate guard looked at Zhao Ji's coachman thoughtfully, and asked to identify him.

The coachman was still digging out his waist card, and when Zhao Ji in the carriage heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was unhappy in his heart.

When are they going to stop their carriage and check it? Obviously, when they entered the palace a few days ago, they directly let them go.

So Zhao Ji got out of the carriage and asked, "Did something happen?" ”

When the guards saw Zhao Ji, they hurriedly stood up and said, "Duanwang Chitose!" Then he began to explain: "Because of the water in the palace last night, the official family suspected that someone did it deliberately. Therefore, before investigating the situation, the official family ordered that anyone entering and leaving the palace must make a record.

If the humble position offends King Chitose, I hope His Royal Highness will understand. Humiliation is only to act on orders......"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he suddenly felt irritated, so he waved his hand to interrupt the guard's explanation. He said impatiently: "Okay, now have you found anything wrong with this king?" If not, can you open the palace gate and let the king in? ”

"Of course not." Seeing that Zhao Ji was a little anxious, the guard hurriedly waved his hand, and then ordered his subordinates to open the side door of the palace, and Zhao Ji's carriage went straight in.

The carriage was not allowed to drive in the palace as usual, so after Zhao Ji entered the palace, he got out of the carriage. There is a house here, which is specially prepared for members of the royal family like Zhao Ji.

There were a few chamberlains in the house, as well as a number of guards. As soon as a member of the royal family enters the palace, they will immediately act as a guard and guide for the royal family.

As for ministers like Tang Ning entering the palace, there will be no escort to accompany them, and at most there will be a chamberlain to lead the way.

Zhao Ji's exclusive chamberlain is Tong Guan, although this person is a eunuch, he is heroic and powerful, and can not only lead the way, but also act as a guard. And he still has a beard, most likely after he became an adult, he entered the palace as a eunuch.

Zhao Ji likes him very much, if it weren't for the regulations, Zhao Ji even wanted to accompany him to Duanwang's Mansion day and night.

Tong Guan was very happy to see Zhao Ji coming

。 Hurriedly ran out, stood in front of Zhao Ji and asked, "Duanwang Chitose, how can you be interested in entering the palace today?" Do you want the villain to call you Bu Yuan? ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said: "There is no need to step around, anyway, the palace is not big, just walk around and get to the place." Speaking of this, Zhao Ji raised the scroll in his hand and said: "This king has painted a new picture of a tiger today, and he is very proud, so he specially came to the imperial brother to taste it."

Tong Guan, do you know where the imperial brother rests? Take this king to meet the royal brother. ”

Tong Guan replied, "Your Highness, please come with me." ”

Then, lead the way.

Zhao Ji followed behind, and the two walked side by side.

Along the way, Tong Guan made witty remarks, which caused Zhao Ji, who was not very happy, to gradually ease up a lot. In the end, Tong Guan led Zhao Ji to the imperial study, where Zhao Xu had been resting.

"Is the royal brother in there?" In front of the Moon Gate, Zhao Ji paused and asked.

Tong Guan replied, "Yes." ”

Zhao Ji nodded, with a smile on his face, and walked forward.

Li Duzhi, who was standing at the door of the imperial study, seemed to be a fierce beast guarding the cave, and when he saw Zhao Ji coming from a distance, his eyes flashed, and he arched his hand towards Zhao Ji and said, "Isn't this His Royal Highness King Duan?" Entering the palace today, but you came to see the official's family? ”

Zhao Ji laughed and said: "It is worthy of Li Duzhi that you have indeed come to see the imperial brother when this king entered the palace today." After that, he raised the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "In the early hours of this morning, this king suddenly had an inspiration, so he painted it with candles and made this picture of a tiger."

The king thought that he was satisfied, so he came to ask the Pope's brother, and asked the royal brother to taste it and see if there were any shortcomings. ”

Li Duzhi stroked his palms and smiled: "His Royal Highness King Duan has made another proud work after half a year, which is really gratifying." ”

Or that the yin and yang people have rotten butts, Zhao Ji has rarely seen Zhao Xu in the palace in the past six months, and most of the time he has been running to the place of the Queen Mother and several concubines.

Zhao Xu is seriously ill and has no heirs to pass on the throne, so he Zhao Ji is taking advantage of the present to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, who can speak to the remnants of the former dynasty, which can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

Li Duzhi came out with such a sentence coldly, which was the disgusting Zhao Ji in the yin and yang.

Zhao Ji pretended not to understand the true meaning, sighed and said: "Since the imperial brother was seriously ill, this king has suffered a lot. Tossing and turning all day, having trouble sleeping.

If you don't rest well, you will naturally have no inspiration to create. In the past six months, this is the first time that this king has such a feeling, so this tiger picture was cited as a proud work by this king.

Forget it, let's not mention these first, I don't know if this king can go in? ”

Li Du Zhixin said that Zhao Ji was thick-skinned and had a fight with Tang Ning, and the official family was seriously ill, so I am afraid that you are tossing and turning with laughter behind your back, and it is difficult to sleep.

When I entered the palace today, I must have heard the news that the official family was critically ill and wanted to enter the palace to have a look

situation, only to take out this bullshit tiger picture to hide people's eyes.

He was very disdainful of Zhao Ji in his heart, and Li Duzhi wanted to answer Zhao Ji and said that the hour is still early, and the official family has not risen, so you will come again one day.

Before he opened his mouth, Lin Cairen, whose eyes were red, walked out of the house with an empty medicine bowl.

Seeing Zhao Ji standing at the door and greeting him, Lin Cairen bowed his head and saluted, and after Zhao Ji returned the salute, Lin Cairen left and went straight to the place where the imperial doctor was to deliver the medicine bowl.

Li Duzhi had nothing to say, so he said in a sullen voice: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang waits, the official family has just taken the decoction, I'm afraid that I will be drowsy at this time."

And allow the villain to go in and report to the official's house, see it or not, the villain can't call the shots. ”

Zhao Ji said: "Okay." ”

So Li Duzhi bowed and saluted, turned around and entered the imperial study.

Zhao Xu was coughing softly in the room, and his face was not very good.

The sudden onset of illness yesterday afternoon kept him in a coma all night, no dreams, no other sensations, and as soon as his eyes were closed and open, it was the next day.

When he opened his eyes, he thought that he had slept soundly yesterday, and when he saw a few haggard imperial doctors, Lin Cairen with red eyes, and Li Duzhi with an anxious face, Zhao Xu remembered what happened yesterday afternoon.

As soon as he thought about it, Zhao Xu broke out in a cold sweat, he walked before the ghost gate closed.

As soon as Zhao Xu asked Li Duzhi if there was any news of the blockade. Li Duzhi replied that after discovering that he was unconscious, he immediately sent people to set fire to a remote place in the palace, pretending to take water, so as to block the entry and exit of the palace people.

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids near the imperial study were also restricted, but they were not too strict, and they were afraid of going too far. This should work, and it may take some time for the outside world to learn the news.

Hearing Li Duzhi say this, Zhao Xu calmed down. What he is most worried about now is nothing else, but when he will die.

It's still the old saying, he's not afraid of death, but he's afraid that it's not the right time for him to die.

As he became seriously ill, all kinds of demons, ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods also jumped out of the shadows. When they were strong, no one spoke in the main peace faction of the DPRK and China, but recently they have become more and more rampant.

A group of people, led by Cai Jing, tried their best to stop the war. And thought that Zhao Xu's military expenses were set at half of the annual income, which was too wasteful.

And Cai Jing has a close relationship with Zhao Ji, although he is unwilling, but under the general trend, after his death, Zhao Ji will definitely succeed him.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. At that time, even if Tang Ning is still trying, they will find a way to recall Tang Ning.

It was not easy to have a chance to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, how could Zhao Xu give up willingly? Even if he lives like a person who has lost his hands and legs, he must hold on until the day when the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are recovered.

In this way, you can die without regrets!
