Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 541
Prime Minister Li Chengji put on the court clothes he brought from home and came to the court hall. Some people who came early saw him coming up to say hello, but they were wondering why Prime Minister Li came so early today?And he looked a little tired, what happened?Li Chengji just nodded lightly, and stood at the front on the left, the seat of the head of all officials.

After that, all the officials arrived one after another, and they stood up separately, waiting quietly for the arrival of Emperor Zhao Wuji, but this time they found that Zhao Wuji did not show up when the time came.

When everyone was wondering, they saw Liang Xiuxian, the chief manager, coming from the side, standing beside the dragon chair, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is caught in the wind and cold, and the dragon's body is sick, so I won't go to court today!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to ask questions, they left on their own. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then there were whispers, all discussing what was going on. The prime minister at the front, Li Chengji, turned around silently, and walked directly outside the hall. The party members hurriedly followed, carefully asking what was going on, it seemed weird!Li Chengji didn't intend to speak at all, and he didn't stop at his feet.

Everyone had different expressions. Some of the six ministers, civil and military officials were shrewd people, and they all thought that something was wrong, but these people didn't say anything, and left indifferently, got on the sedan chair, and headed for their own home. Even after returning home, many people restrained their family members one after another. During this period of time, they must not leave the house if there is nothing to do!

In the Lu residence, Mr. Lu also came back, with a dignified expression, he waved his hand, called the housekeeper, and ordered: "Go and call Su boy."

The butler saw that his master had a wrong expression, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and trotted to find Su Bai.

Su Bai was practicing in the yard, usually no one would disturb him, but at this time he saw the housekeeper jogging over, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Liang is in a hurry, what can I do for you?"

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Master Su, please come over, sir."

Su Bai raised his brows, looked at the sky, and said, "Shouldn't Mr. Lu still be in court at this time? Didn't you go today?"

The housekeeper replied: "Master did go out before, but he came back just now. As soon as he comes back, let me invite you, Mr. Su."

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, not knowing what happened, he said with a smile, "Alright then, I'll go there now."

The two arrived at Mr. Lu's small courtyard. This time Mr. Lu was not in the yard, but in his room, eating breakfast. There was a kind old woman sitting next to him. This person was Mr. Lu's first wife.

Seeing Su Bai coming in, the old woman smiled and said, "It's Xiao Bai, let's have dinner together!"

Su Bai quickly thanked him, but Old Master Lu said in a deep voice, "You guys go down first, I have something to talk to Su Xiaozi!"

Everyone was taken aback, but they didn't dare to hesitate, even Mrs. Lu went out.Su Bai realized that something seemed to have really happened, and quickly asked: "Master Lu, what happened? Could it be that something went wrong in the war in the south?"

This was the most important thing he could think of, but Mr. Lu shook his head and motioned for Su Bai to sit down first.

After Su Bai sat down, Old Man Lu swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said in a deep voice, "It's not about the south, it's about the palace, something happened in the palace!"

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no accident in the south, Xiao Wu is still there after all!As for the palace, it may be important to others, but to him, it has nothing to do with him at all!
So Su Bai said casually: "Is something wrong in the palace? What else can happen in the palace?"

Mr. Lu gave him a meaningful look, and said, "If I guess it's not bad, something must have happened to His Majesty!"

Only then did Su Bai's face change. It turned out that something happened to Emperor Zhao Wuji?He hurriedly asked: "Master Lu, tell me clearly, what's going on?"

I can't blame Su Bai for being anxious, he knows that if something happens to Zhao Wuji, the world will be in chaos, after all, several princes are staring at the throne!With Zao Wou-ki suppressing it, of course there is no problem, but once something happens to Zao Wou-ki, it will be a big trouble!

Before he swore with the fifth prince, Zhao Yan, and promised to help him fight for the throne, both of them agreed that nothing would happen in a short period of time, at least in a few years or even ten years. Why did this change suddenly happen now? up?

Mr. Lu said solemnly: "I went to the morning court this morning. Everything was the same as before. The only difference is that His Majesty didn't come. Just when everyone was wondering, Manager Liang showed up and said that His Majesty was caught in the wind and cold. Morning morning!"

Su Bai was obedient and Xie didn't understand, he said, "Master Lu, it's just a cold, it's nothing serious, right?"

Mr. Lu glanced at him speechlessly, and said, "When was the last time you were sick?"

Su Bai didn't know why the other party asked this suddenly, and said with a smile: "My boy, I am strong and strong, so how can I get sick!"

Not to mention that his current cultivation base is in the state of acquired great accomplishment, even when his internal strength was slightly accomplished at the beginning, his resistance to cold air and the like was greatly enhanced, and of course he would not get sick.

At this thought, Su Bai suddenly froze, yes!Even a person like him, who is a master of the day after tomorrow, will not get sick, Zhao Wou-ki is an innate master!How could it be possible to catch a cold!

Seeing Su Bai's sudden realization, Old Master Lu also knew that he had figured it out, nodded and said, "Since it is impossible for Your Majesty to catch the cold, why did Director Liang lie? Why is Your Majesty unable to go to court early? I am afraid it is true." What's wrong!"

"Big problem? What big problem?" Su Bai asked.

Mr. Lu shook his head and sighed: "I just don't know the situation now! How can I know what's wrong, but... If anyone knows, then Manager Liang is the only one, and Prime Minister Li Chengji should also know!"

Liang Xiuxian is the chief executive, and he is by his side almost every day except when Zhao Wou-ki is sleeping. He can't hide anything from Zhao Wou-ki. The reason why he thinks that Lee Seung-ji will know about it is because he thinks that Lee Seung-ji is the head of all officials. , and looking back at the situation when I saw the other party this morning, it seems that there is something wrong. The other party should know something.

Su Bai pondered for a long time, but because there were too few clues, he really couldn't think of a reason. He smiled lightly and said, "Master Lu, maybe it's just that you think too much. Your Majesty may not have caught the wind and cold by chance, but it doesn't matter." Something bad must have happened, maybe it was just tossing with some concubine for a long time, or just being lazy, or even something wrong with practicing, in short, there are too many possible reasons!"

Mr. Lu glanced at him, shook his head noncommittally and said, "I hope it's what you said! But if something really happens, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble! And after all, paper can't cover fire , What happened to His Majesty, it will be clear within two days, I believe other people outside are also anxiously investigating the situation!"

Su Bai nodded, he believed it, not to mention that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, Zao Wou-ki is the current emperor, although he is aloof all day long, he does not know how many eyeliners are around him!Once there is any disturbance, it is impossible to hide it.

He glanced at Mr. Lu and asked, "Mr. Lu, even if something happened to His Majesty, what is the reason why you called me in such a hurry?"

Mr. Lu nodded, and asked very solemnly: "Boy Su, answer me honestly, did His Highness the Fifth Prince really say that you have been honest all this time?"

Su Bai was taken aback, and said, "Do you suspect that this matter is related to the Fifth Prince?"

Mr. Lu said: "I have this suspicion. Of course, I not only doubt the fifth prince alone, but I also have doubts about the other princes!"

Seeing that the other party said so seriously, Su Bai also became serious, pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "The fifth prince really said that at the time, and I don't think he needs to lie."

"Oh? Why is that? Don't be emotional, Su boy, I know about your sworn vows with the Fifth Prince!" Old Master Lu gave Su Bai a deep look.

Su Bai's face darkened, he didn't tell the fifth prince Zhao Yan about his sworn vows!Didn't even tell anyone at all!How did the other party know?It seems that although this old man stays at home all day, he really knows a lot about things!
Now is not the time to worry about this, and besides, he has never thought about concealing the matter, he said: "Of course I will not act emotionally, the reason why I made this judgment is because if something happens to His Majesty, it will not benefit the Fifth Prince at all. His current preparations It is not enough, the strength is not strong enough, once something happens to His Majesty, it will be even more unfavorable to him!"

Mr. Lu nodded, and he also agreed with what Su Bai said. Although he actually didn't know what kind of strength the fifth prince Zhao Yan had, he believed that among the several princes, the fifth prince was indeed not the most powerful. Strong, because the strongest must be the eldest prince Zhao Zheng!
Thinking of this, Old Master Lu's face suddenly changed, and he murmured: "Boy Su, you reminded me of this. It seems that the Fifth Prince did not do this matter."

Su Bai was taken aback, and asked, "How do you know?"

Grandpa Lu sighed: "As you said, if something happens to His Majesty, it will not benefit His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. !"

"Then who will benefit the most from this matter?" Su Bai asked.

Mr. Lu looked at the location of the palace and said, "Of course it's the eldest prince Zhao Zheng!"

Su Bai's face changed and he said, "Are you suspecting that the First Prince did it?"

Mr. Lu said: "This is just my suspicion. As you said, there is no definite news about what is going on now. Let's wait and see!"
