The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The Eighth Prince's fever didn't go down for a long time, but the fever got hotter and hotter.If this continues, even if he wakes up in two days, he will be a fool.

The imperial physician tried all kinds of methods but couldn't lower the Eighth Prince's fever. Later, Zhao Yao came up with a way to wipe his body with spirits.

A few months ago, Zhao Yao had fever repeatedly, and one time the fever was particularly severe.At that time, Imperial Physician Lu said that if Zhao Yao did not reduce his fever, he might not be able to survive.Liang Zhaoyi thought of an indigenous method in her hometown, wiping her body with spirits to cool down the heat.It really worked, and Zhao Yao's high fever subsided.

Yu Hai and Zhao Yao wiped the eighth prince's body with strong wine, even the creaky pit, popliteal pit, and the center of the soles of the feet were carefully wiped.Not long after wiping, the high fever on the Eighth Prince finally subsided.

Seeing that the high fever subsided temporarily, the imperial physician hurriedly prescribed medicine.

After the Eighth Prince drank the medicine, the high fever on his body finally subsided completely and did not recur.

The imperial doctor said that the high fever subsided, which meant that the eighth prince's life was not in danger.Next, the Eighth Prince only needs to take a good rest, and his body will recover little by little.

Knowing that the eighth prince was out of danger, both the prince and Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

The day before the death of the first empress, the eighth prince finally woke up after being in a coma for three days and three nights.However, his body was too weak, and he passed out not long after waking up.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince had woken up, Zhao Yao could finally feel relieved, and immediately had the appetite to eat the vegetarian meal at Hulong Temple.

Because tomorrow is the death day of the late empress, the fourth and third princes came to Hulong Temple one night earlier, but Emperor Wu of Zhou did not come to Hulong Temple earlier because he had something to do.

At this moment, Zhao Yao is having dinner with the fourth prince.

The vegetarian food of Hulong Temple tastes very good, especially the pickled radish, which is crisp and delicious, very appetizing, and goes well with rice.Zhao Yao ate pickled radish alone without eating, and he could eat several bowls.

While eating, Zhao Yao introduced the vegetarian food of Hulong Temple to the fourth prince in a continuous manner.

The already delicious vegetarian dishes became more delicious under Zhao Yao's praise.The Fourth Prince, who usually only ate two bowls of rice, unexpectedly ate an extra bowl of rice.

The fourth prince has high demands on himself.For each meal, he has calculated how many dishes to eat and how many bowls of rice to eat, and he will never eat more.No matter how delicious he ate, he would never eat too much.

Today, he ate an extra bowl of rice and broke the rules set by the fourth prince, which made him very regretful.So, now he took Zhao Yao for a walk in Hulong Temple to digest food.

"Fourth brother, we've been walking for half an hour, isn't that enough?" Why don't we just have an extra bowl of rice? Is that what the fourth brother is doing?
"Not enough, go for another half an hour."

Zhao Yao sat down on the ground, "I'm not leaving."

The fourth prince came back, pulled Zhao Yao up, and continued walking while holding his hand.

"Fourth brother, I can't move anymore, I don't want to go..."

"We ate too much tonight, we must walk more, or we will accumulate food." The fourth prince forcefully pulled Zhao Yao to continue walking.

Zhao Yao directly lied on the fourth prince and asked the fourth prince to "carry" him away.

The fourth prince let him stick to his body like a dog's skin plaster, "We will go back to copy the Buddhist scriptures after another half an hour."

"Fourth brother, I really can't walk anymore." Zhao Yao sat on the ground directly, hugging the fourth prince's thigh.

Seeing Zhao Yao's appearance, the fourth prince said helplessly, "Then let's go back."

As soon as he heard "go back", Zhao Yao stood up abruptly and strode towards the courtyard where they lived, which was the courtyard where the prince lived.

The eighth prince lived in the prince's courtyard, and after Zhao Yao came to Hulong Temple, he lived next door to the eighth prince.

After the fourth prince came, he was worried about Zhao Yao, so he lived in the same room with him.

Normally, the fourth prince would never live next door to the eighth prince.

The Eighth Prince hates the Fourth Prince for no reason, and the Fourth Prince also has no reason not to like him.The two looked disgusted at each other.

Back to the courtyard where the prince is, the first thing to do is to greet the prince, but the prince will stay in the Daxiong Hall to pray for the late queen, and he is not in the courtyard.

Zhao Yao went to visit the Eighth Prince first.He came back just in time, the eighth prince just woke up.

"Myna, you're awake." Seeing that the Eighth Prince had woken up, Zhao Yao was overjoyed.

Seeing the bright smile on Zhao Yao's face, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but smile lightly on his pale face.However, when he saw the fourth prince behind the eighth prince, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

Zhao Yao walked to the eighth prince's bedside, and asked with concern on his face, "Myna, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

"better."

Yu Hai who was standing aside said: "Your Highness Tenth, Your Highness just had a bowl of porridge."

"That's great." Zhao Yao said happily, "If you can eat it, it means that myna is getting better."

The fourth prince stood behind Zhao Yao without saying anything.

"Brother, you need to eat more now, so that you can recover quickly."

Zhao Yao didn't talk much to the Eighth Prince.The Eighth Prince is weak and should not talk too much.After a while, he exited the Eighth Prince's room and returned to his own room.

"Fourth brother, why haven't Father and the others found the mastermind behind the scenes?" Zhao Yao originally thought that Emperor Wu of Zhou and the others would find out the mastermind behind the scenes within two days, but it's been almost three days, and there is no news about the mastermind behind the scenes. nothing. "Who sent someone to assassinate the prince's brother?"

The fourth prince didn't know who was behind the scenes, because there were too many suspects, but he was sure that the behind-the-scenes were among these people.

"Father will definitely find out, so don't worry about it."

"That's right." Zhao Yao didn't say anything more about it, and looked down at the new arithmetic book that the fourth prince brought today.

The fourth prince bowed his head and continued to copy Buddhist scriptures.

Zhao Yao wrote arithmetic for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind.

Wait, is it possible that this assassination was directed and performed by the elder brother of the crown prince himself, and then the second elder brother was accused of assassinating the prince?

It is not impossible.

The more Zhao Yao thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

The prince himself certainly couldn't think of such a solution, it should be the idea of ​​Lord Zhen Guo.

With Zhen Guogong's scheming, he will not blame the second brother outright, but will definitely use some clues to point to the second brother.

If it's really the prince's brother and the others who directed and acted on their own, then myna's serious injury this time is really a disaster for no reason.However, the starling is to save the prince's brother from being injured, and the prince's brother will definitely use the starling again in the future, and treat the starling well.

good to mynah...

Another thought flashed through Zhao Yao's mind, could it be that the assassination was not directed and acted by the prince's elder brother, but by the starling...

Frightened by his own thoughts, Zhao Yao quickly shook his head and hurriedly denied it in his heart, it's impossible, Mynah almost died, Mynah wouldn't treat him like this...

Zhao Yao suddenly thought that the eighth prince could be cruel to him... If it was a starling... it is not impossible...

Thinking that the mastermind behind this assassination might be the Eighth Prince, Zhao Yao gasped in shock.

If mynah really did it, what is the purpose of mynah doing it?Is it to make the prince's elder brother trust and reuse him more?
The starling has been with the prince's brother all the time, and the prince's brother trusts him. He doesn't need to do this trick. After all, the starling depends on the prince's brother to live well in the palace.

It is heard that the assassin has been lurking in Hulong Temple for a long time, and the assassination of the prince's brother was planned for a long time.The starling tried so hard to do this, it was impossible just to become the savior of the prince's brother.

With mynah's cleverness and thoughtfulness, I'm afraid there is a deeper purpose.

Make the competition between the prince's elder brother and the second elder brother more intense?
Not too possible.

The starling still has to be attached to the elder brother of the prince and hide his strength by his side. It is impossible for the elder brother of the prince to have an accident now.

If it is to deal with the second brother, there is no need to use this trick.Besides, bringing down the second brother now will not do any good for the starling.

It's not against the prince's brother, and it's unlikely to be against the second brother, so the third brother and the others are left.

The Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family behind the third brother and the others offended the starling, or is there something that the starling needs?

No, I heard that those assassins are dead men, where did myna get dead men?

Dead soldiers are generally cultivated by aristocratic families.

Starlings have no grandparents.Even if there are still people in myna's ancestral family, they are just ordinary people, and they don't have the ability to train dead men.

Then it's not a starling.

Zhao Yao denied the eighth prince, but he still felt that the mastermind behind the scenes was the eighth prince.

Zhao Yao: What is myna's purpose in doing this?
Let's guess what the Eighth Prince's purpose is.
