Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 547
Of course Su Bai in the Lu residence was not aware of these things. After dinner, he was practicing swordsmanship, but his servants told him that the fifth prince, Zhao Yan, told him to go there as soon as possible.

Su Bai raised his brows. Since the other party said it must be done, he naturally came to him for something important. Combined with what Old Master Lu said to him before, he guessed that something really happened in the palace?
After all, he is his sworn brother, so Su Bai will naturally go. He sat in a carriage and soon arrived at the other courtyard where the fifth prince was. After entering the door, it was very rare that he didn't see the fifth prince preparing food and drinks. This is not the same as the other party's previous style. !
And this time it was not in the courtyard, but in the fifth prince's study. After Su Bai entered the door, the fifth prince, who was looking at the moonlight outside the window, did not hear anything.

Su Bai coughed and said, "Brother, you are in a hurry to let me come over, what's the matter?"

The Fifth Prince Zhao Yan came back to his senses, an unnatural smile appeared on his face, he nodded and said: "Brother Su, you are here, sit down."

When the host and guest were seated, Su Bai did not speak, obviously waiting for the other party to speak first.

The fifth prince, Zhao Yan, didn't hesitate at all, and said straight to the point: "Something happened to my father!"

Su Bai raised his brows. He already knew something about Mr. Lu's speculation, but now he just confirmed it. He asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? How is Your Majesty's situation now?"

The fifth prince didn't hide anything, he told the truth about his being recruited into the palace today and the news he heard, and finally asked: "Brother Su, have you ever heard of the 'Seven Grass Devouring Heart Pill'?"

Su Bai never thought that Zhao Wuji's situation was so serious!People haven't woken up yet, and even if they find a way to detoxify, it will take several months to detoxify. If they can't find it, they may even lose their lives!
He sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't have any research on things like poison, so I really don't know."

The fifth prince Zhao Yan nodded. In fact, he just asked the question casually, thinking of giving it a try. He didn't expect Su Bai to really help.

Fifth Prince Zhao Yan sighed: "Now we can only wait for Guzhu Li to come and see if he has a better way."

Su Bai nodded and said: "Master Li Gu is very skilled in medicine, he must have a better way to detoxify." He changed the subject and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

Fifth Prince Zhao Yan slowly shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, the biggest suspects are of course the brothers!"

Su Bai sighed when he heard the words, in fact, he also guessed so in his heart, this is the royal family!What kind of family affection between father and son, what kind of brotherly righteousness, in front of the emperor, all these are false!He didn't believe it before, and he didn't want it to actually happen in front of him now.

The fifth prince, Zhao Yan, continued, "At first, I suspected that it was the eldest brother who did it. Although judging from his usual performance, he is not someone who can do such a thing, but the father suddenly had an accident. It is indeed the most beneficial! But now it seems that it is not a fight, have you heard the rumors on the street recently?"

Su Bai was startled when he heard the words, and asked, "What rumors?"

In the past two days, he has started to follow Mr. Lu's words, and he has never even left the gate!No one went to the yard where he lived, and I really didn't hear any rumors on the street.

The fifth prince, Zhao Yan, was a little speechless. The common people on the street panicked. It's good that my brother doesn't know anything!
He briefly said those rumors, and finally said: "These rumors are obviously spread by someone with a heart, and there are many unfavorable remarks against the elder brother. It can be inferred that the person who spread the rumors should be the one who did the murder. As for the current situation of the elder brother is not very good, so it should not be the fault of the elder brother."

Su Bai nodded, feeling that the other party's analysis made sense.

The fifth prince got up and took two steps, and murmured: "If you want the eldest brother from time to time, who can it be? After all, it is possible for us to do this. Of course I am not. The other possibility is the old man." Seven? But what good will it do him?"

These words seemed to be talking to himself, Su Bai had a rough idea, but he didn't intend to speak, as if he had no clue, the Fifth Prince sat back on the chair again.

Su Bai then asked: "Brother, what are your plans now?"

The Fifth Prince's expression was a little dignified, and he slowly shook his head and said, "Father, something happened suddenly, and he planned all my plans!"

In the previous discussion between him and Su Bai, he never thought that Zhao Wuji would suddenly have an accident, even if the second prince Zhao Chen rebelled, in their view, it was impossible to jump around for a few days, and sooner or later he would be punished by the court. Annihilation of the army!There can be no chaos in this world!
But now the fifth prince, Zhao Yan, no longer has the confidence to say this. The development of this situation can be said to be changing rapidly, and it is becoming more and more incomprehensible to him!As for what plans to do next, he really has no plans!
With a long sigh, the fifth prince Zhao Yan said: "I don't have any plans now, let's talk about it when Guzhu Li arrives. After all, the situation of the father is still unclear."

Su Bai lightly tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Brother, I think we should prepare for the worst."

The Fifth Prince glanced at him, as if he didn't expect him to say that, and asked, "You're telling me, what is the worst plan?"

Su Bai pondered and said: "Judging from the current situation, the worst outcome would be His Majesty's sudden death! Big brother, you'd better, think about it, if this is the case, what should we do? Or what should we do, big brother? manage?"

The fifth prince, Zhao Yan, changed his face. No matter what kind of psychology it was, he really never thought about the death of his father!Now hearing Su Bai mentioning it so suddenly, I really didn't react for a while!

His complexion changed again and again, and finally he let out a long breath: "You are right, I really should have made a plan earlier! If the father is really...then what should I do?"

As he spoke, he got up again and paced back and forth. It was obvious that he was in a very restless mood. After a long time, he said: "According to the current situation, if the emperor really dies suddenly, it is likely that I will be the one who ascends the throne." Brother, no matter how unfavorable the current situation is for him, no matter what! Under such circumstances, he is the most promising one! After all, the ministers in the court have the most support for him! This includes Prime Minister, Master Li! Especially now that General Ji is not in the court, Master Li's opinion is even more important!"

The fifth prince Zhao Yan's face became more and more ugly. This was the last thing he wanted to see. He hadn't thought about his father's sudden death before. Maybe it wasn't because he really didn't think about it, but because this situation was too much for him. Unfavorable, that's why I didn't think about it on purpose!If this happens, it will not only be bad for him, but also bad for all other princes!

Su Bai glanced at the Fifth Prince meaningfully, and said, "If it is true that the Eldest Prince ascended the throne, what will you do, Eldest Brother?"

The fifth prince showed bitterness on his face, and he slowly shook his head and said, "What else can I plan? After all, the matter is a foregone conclusion! If there is any action, it will be treason!"

No matter how they fight for the succession to the throne, the fifth prince, Zhao Yan, has never thought about treason!Even if he knows that once the eldest prince, or any other prince ascends the throne, it will be very unfavorable to him. After all, the new emperor will never rest assured of a person who once competed with him for the throne!

Even so, the fifth prince, Zhao Yan, would obey his order instead of rebelling against him.

Hearing what the fifth prince said, Su Bai was secretly relieved. After all, it was true that he would help the other party fight for the succession to the throne, but he would never follow the other party to conspire against him.

Su Bai pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother, maybe things haven't reached that point yet."

The Fifth Prince was stunned, looked up at him and said, "Not yet?"

Su Bai replied: "Even if the first prince is on the throne now, big brother, don't forget that there is still a second prince in the south, do you think the other party will surrender to the first prince?"

This is of course impossible, even my own father and the second prince turned against him, it would be a strange thing to surrender to his elder brother!

Su Bai continued: "And it's not only the second prince who is unwilling, but the seventh prince and even the eleventh prince, I'm afraid they won't be reconciled, and there may be some troubles!"

Fifth Prince Zhao Yan nodded slowly, with a serious expression on his face, he said: "Then when the time comes, I'm afraid the world will really be in chaos!"

The fifth prince Zhao Yan's eyes flickered, it is true that he will not rebel, but if the world is in chaos and the eldest prince is unable to sit firmly on the throne, he may not have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation!
After all, if chaos really arises, the possibility of the eldest prince being able to secure the throne is actually very small. Although it is true that many ministers in the court support the eldest prince's succession to the throne, after all, Zao Wou-ki did not establish the crown prince. The seat, let alone who will inherit the throne in the future!

The Seventh Prince has his own influence, and the mother of the Eleventh Prince is even the current Empress!Everyone has the right to inherit the throne!If they disagree, many people will support it, so the possibility of chaos is too great!

Since it is possible to inherit the throne, why should you be the eldest brother?instead of me?
A trace of excitement flashed in the fifth prince's eyes, he felt that he still had a chance!
In fact, this is nothing more than sophistry, no matter how you say it, if the eldest prince really ascends to the throne and has other ideas, no matter what the reason is, it is treason!But the temptation of the throne is too great, as long as there is a little excuse, no one will give up!
Besides, if he ascended the throne, who would say it was treason?At that time, he will naturally find a suitable reason, a reason for himself to inherit the throne!After all, history is always written by the victors!
