Chapter 220 Nightmare
All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to speak out for a moment.

But the ministers who supported Guan Ze were all complaining for the third prince.

Where is the third prince dull?The third prince obviously has great wisdom, as the saying goes, the voice is loud and the voice is rare.Moreover, the third prince is close and friendly, simple and honest, and was taught by the empress herself. If he succeeds to the throne, the possibility of becoming a wise king in the future is very high.

It's a pity, but the emperor categorically denied it, and didn't even give the third prince a chance.

Guan Ze hurriedly thought of something in his head to report back to the emperor, intending to fight for the third prince again.

The emperor didn't allow him, and spoke first: "Guan Qing's family, don't mention Li Heng'er again."

Shengsheng suppressed Guan Ze's action to fight for the third prince, so Guan Ze could only bow his head silently, lamenting for the third prince and feeling worthless for the empress.

Seeing that Guan Ze was silent, the emperor's mood improved, and he sat up straight and asked the ministers: "Do you have any suggestions from the other Qing family?"

In fact, the emperor's purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to adopt a delaying tactic, let everyone propose the prince first, and then he will challenge and say that he will consider it. This way, he can delay as long as possible. It would be best if he can delay until Concubine Hui gives birth to the emperor's son.

If you want to persecute me, then I will spend time with you, hum!

As a celebrity beside the emperor, He Honglin should stand up right now.

But He Honglin was very entangled, a little hesitant.

The emperor had hinted at him a long time ago, and coupled with his own speculation about the emperor's intentions, he deduced that the real reason for the emperor's hesitation to establish a crown prince was that he wanted to leave it in the belly of Concubine Hui.

But it is not clear whether this dragon fetus that has not seen the sky is male or female. Although some imperial physicians have diagnosed the possibility of being a prince through the pulse of Concubine Hui, the possibility of being a princess is not ruled out.

Besides, he secretly supported the fifth prince, whose mother had a strong family background, and also had the third princess, the elder sister of the same mother.

The third princess was the one that Old Master Shen had taken a fancy to. He had long planned to give his most important grandson to the third princess as his son-in-law.

In this way, the power of the fifth prince can be imagined in the future, and he must be the biggest among all the princes.

If the fifth prince succeeds to the throne, supporting him now is the wisest choice, and it can also pave the way for his future.

But the emperor's intention just now was clear, and He Honglin didn't dare to displease the dragon, so he thought about it quickly, and decided to follow the emperor's intention and please the emperor first.

Leave the future to plan slowly later.

Having made up his mind, He Honglin immediately stood up and appealed loudly: "Qi Zou the emperor, I believe that the establishment of the heir is not only a state affairs, but also the emperor's family affairs, so it should be decided by the emperor himself.

The emperor will definitely choose the most suitable prince as the crown prince, so no matter which prince the emperor chooses in the end, the minister will fully support it. "

This is obvious flattery, and his rhetoric made Guan Ze and the adults who supported Guan Ze very disdainful.But the emperor was very happy, what He Honglin said was exactly what he wanted.

Without waiting for the ministers to speak, the emperor patted the armrest of the dragon chair again, stood up and said loudly: "The He Qing family understands the truth, I am very eminent! I will definitely carefully select the most suitable prince for the people of the world."

After directly drawing a conclusion, the emperor made another unexpected announcement: "I'm really tired today, everyone, don't disturb me any more, and retreat from the court."

Xiao Anzi immediately shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Back to court!"

All the ministers followed Shan Hu, long live my emperor, long live, long live, and then withdrew from the court and dispersed.

Guan Ze, who walked out of the main hall, sighed, and walked towards the Meridian Gate sullenly.

As he walked, he thought, it seems that the emperor is determined to procrastinate slowly, just waiting for Concubine Hui's son to be born.However, General Long Teng went out on business today and did not go to the court. If he were in the court, he would have more support.

While walking, the prime minister's voice sounded from behind, Guan Ze had no choice but to stop and turn around to exchange greetings with him.

Just after saying the last two words, the emperor's imperial servant passed by the two of them, they hurriedly saluted, saying the words of paying respects to the emperor.

As Yu Chuan drifted away, Guan Ze, who had only maintained a superficial relationship with He Honglin, really didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he found an excuse to say goodbye.

He Honglin originally wanted to persuade Guan Ze, but when he saw that he had turned around hastily and walked away with his robe lifted, he could only stare at his back, turned and parted ways with him.

"It's time to return to the emperor." Xiao Anzi reminded the emperor beside the imperial chariot.

The squinting emperor opened his eyes, got off the imperial chariot, and walked straight in.

Facing the sudden arrival of the emperor, the court ladies and eunuchs who met along the way fell to their knees with a plop.

The queen in the hall heard the announcement, quickly brushed her hair, and got up to greet her.

"The queen is free." The emperor gave her a hand after entering the door, turned around and sat down.Only then did he turn his attention to the queen, and saw that she was wearing a generous embroidered wide-sleeved gown, her whole body was elegant, and only a hairpin inlaid with pearls was inserted obliquely in her hair.

She didn't even apply makeup on her face, and she was still captivating with a smile.

only…

The emperor quickly looked away.

"Is the emperor having a nightmare again?" The queen's voice was clear and soft, piercing into the emperor's ears, making his heart strangely calm.

"En." He replied lightly, resting his head on the soft brocade jacquard cushion.

The empress frowned slightly, her thick and long eyelashes flickered, she lowered her eyes, walked gently behind the emperor, and reached out to massage his head.

I knew that only when he had such a nightmare would he take the initiative to come here to seek comfort.

The queen's pair of soft hair moved through his hair, rubbing or pressing, the strength of her hands was just right, the emperor felt very comfortable, and even wanted to fall asleep.

Only with the queen can he recall the dream of last night.

"I dreamed about the emperor again last night." The emperor whispered.

The queen didn't make a sound, but the movement of her hands obviously paused for a moment before continuing.

The emperor clearly remembered that the elder brother in the dream was still tall and elegant.He was standing with his back to him, calling out his baby name: "Qiqi, Qiqi."

I instinctively turned around and ran away, but I couldn't lift my feet no matter what.Suddenly raised his head, Brother Huang appeared in front of him, with clear eyebrows and a smile on his handsome face, he opened his lips and said to him: "Seventh brother, are you all right?"

"Brother Huang, you, you are not..." He said with trembling lips.

Brother Huang suddenly grabbed his hand, raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleamed red, and said bitterly: "Yes, thanks to your good brother, I can't turn over under the pressure, you are satisfied." ?”

Brother Huang obviously tightened his grip on his hand, making him unable to break free.He could only watch helplessly as Brother Huang stuck out his bright red tongue and approached him.When he took a closer look, the bright red was actually drops of blood.

what…

In an instant, he was so frightened that he screamed and struggled desperately.

After waking up, my whole body was sweating, my heart was beating wildly, my ears were ringing, as if I just had a fight with someone, and my whole body was weak and weak.

Thinking of this, the emperor opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed the queen's hand: "Okay, don't rub it anymore, you can talk to me."

After speaking, he patted the empty seat beside him and motioned for the queen to sit down.

The queen spared the bench, sat down beside him, and started a new round of persuasion.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines will go and offer incense to the Emperor. The matter has come to an end, the Emperor can only be diligent in political affairs and manage the country that the Emperor has handed over. Maybe in the future, he will ask for the forgiveness of the Emperor." This time , the queen directly talked about the court affairs.

It's different from what she persuaded him before.In the past, she would always say that Brother Huang would not harm you, that Brother Huang likes you the most, and Brother Huang knows that you also have difficulties...

"Do you think I have delayed government affairs?" The emperor's tone was a little worried.
