The Splendid Fate of the Reborn First Daughter

Chapter 81
The emperor forced a smile and said: "Don't worry, I remember this, I still have something to do, I will come to see you some other day." Saying this, he took Zheng Daban and left.As soon as he left Fengxiang Palace, the emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zheng Daban was scared out of his wits, and hurried forward to support the emperor: "Your majesty, you..."

The emperor took out a brocade handkerchief, wiped away the blood from his mouth, and said, "Go, invite Daoist Liu over here."

Zheng Daban said: "It's better to go back to the bedroom first, and then invite Daoist Liu."

The emperor nodded and took Zheng Daban back to the bedroom.

Liu Daochang heard that the emperor invited him, so he hurried over. When he saw the emperor's pale face and twitching veins, he was startled, "Your majesty, this is..."

The emperor asked: "Do you know Tianxianzi?"

Liu Daochang didn't know what he meant, so he replied truthfully: "This thing is very strange and rare, and Pindao has indeed seen it before."

The emperor asked: "The woman ate that thing..."

Only then did Liu Daochang understand, and he said falteringly: "If a woman eats this food, it will smell good on her body, and it is mostly eaten by concubines who are fighting for favor."

The emperor asked: "Some people say that eating this food will make women infertile. Is there such a thing?"

Liu Daochang had no choice but to say: "Indeed...so."

The emperor only felt that his throat was fishy and sweet, and another mouthful of blood spewed out.

Liu Daochang hurriedly took out a pill from his bosom and gave it to the emperor to take. After a while, the emperor calmed down. He said to Liu Daochang, "Go, don't tell others what happened today."

Liu Daochang hurriedly withdrew.

The emperor looked at Zheng Daban: "You, take someone to investigate in person. This matter must not be left as it is."

Zheng Daban immediately bowed and agreed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will investigate to the end."

The emperor lost his mind for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh.

In Prince Ning's mansion, the prince said to Zhao Yanting: "I spent [-] silver to buy you the position of deputy general. Tomorrow, you take the letter of appointment and report to the western garrison."

Zhao Yanting took the letter of appointment and asked, "Why do you still need to spend money to buy military positions?"

The prince said: "The national treasury is empty and there is no military salary. The emperor acquiesced in the Ministry of War selling officials."

Zhao Yanting was taken aback: "Has the imperial court come to this point?"

The prince said: "I have asked your elder brother to come here, and you should listen here too. You don't know many things about court affairs, so you must familiarize yourself with them, otherwise you will easily offend people after you take office."

Zhao Yanting could only sit there, drinking tea.While chatting with the prince.

Not long after, Zhao Zhongliang came in, and Zhao Yanting stood up, "Second Uncle."

Zhao Zhongliang nodded and sat beside the prince.

He said to the prince: "Xinghe will arrive soon."

The prince nodded and said, "This kid, I don't know why, he seldom comes here."

Zhao Zhongliang said: "I'm afraid he's planning something big."

The prince and Zhao Yanting were very surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Zhao Zhongliang said: "Xinghe is not an ordinary person. He will never come here for no reason. I guess he has something to hide from us, so he is embarrassed to come here."

The prince asked: "What can he do?"

Zhao Zhongliang said: "As far as I know, the harem is not peaceful now. I found that someone is investigating the life experience of the sixth prince. I'm afraid Xinghe is behind it."

The prince didn't speak, but Zhao Yanting was very surprised: "There is something wrong with the sixth prince's life experience? How is this possible?"

Zhao Zhongliang laughed: "You will know soon, it's impossible."

The prince said: "What is Xinghe thinking? What is he pushing this matter for?"

Zhao Zhongliang said: "So I said, we must find him. Even if we don't help, we must know the situation."

The prince sighed: "This child is too courageous."

At this time, a servant reported: "The eldest son is here."

Zhao Xinghe walked in quickly, and was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Yanting was here.

The prince said: "Your second brother has already received the letter of appointment and is going to serve as a deputy general in the western garrison. I think he should know about the family affairs."

Zhao Xinghe nodded, without saying anything, he sat on the lower head of the prince.

Zhao Zhongliang asked: "You kid, what are you busy with?"

Zhao Xinghe glanced at Zhao Yanting, but did not speak.

Zhao Yanting stood up and said, "Father, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

Just as the prince was about to stop him, Zhao Zhongliang said: "You go back first, we will come to you if there is something to do."

Zhao Yanting turned around and left.

The prince looked at Zhao Xinghe: "What matter, even your second brother has to keep it a secret."

Zhao Xinghe said: "I even want to hide it from you."

The prince patted the table: "You child, I am your own father!"

Zhao Xinghe said: "I discussed it with Weiwei, it's better that you don't know about it."

But Zhao Zhongliang said: "Xinghe, you have to know that we are close relatives, if you fail, we will be implicated as well, no matter what, you should let us know what's going on."

Zhao Xinghe looked at Zhao Zhongliang in embarrassment.Zhao Zhongliang smiled and said, "What? Afraid that you will have trouble explaining to your daughter-in-law when you go home?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "I want to push the First Prince to the throne."

The prince was shocked when he heard this: "You are crazy, how can this be possible!"

Zhao Zhongliang asked: "Is it your wife's idea?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "It was my own idea. The first prince and I hit it off right away. I think he should be in charge of this country. There is hope."

Zhao Zhongliang asked: "Did your wife stop you?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Wei Wei said that when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. This fact is risky. But I insisted. She didn't dissuade me."

The prince patted the table: "You bastard! You are playing with the lives of the whole family."

Zhao Xinghe said: "I will not openly support the First Prince, and I will not covet the achievements of the dragon. I have no intention of showing my face in front of the First Prince. All I want is to regain the country and defeat the Southern Dynasty. I have thought about it carefully. Now, only the First Prince can be the King of Restoration."

The prince pointed at him and was speechless for a long time.

Zhao Zhongliang was also very surprised: "I thought you wanted to go further..."

Zhao Xinghe smiled: "I am already King Dingbei, what do I need to go further?"

Zhao Zhongliang said: "Don't you want to crack the earth to seal the king, don't you want the iron certificate of the alchemy book?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Weiwei said, we don't want anything. Only in this way can I realize my ambition."

Zhao Zhongliang also remained silent for a long time.

The prince sighed, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Weiwei said, I can't tell you about this matter. Firstly, you will be worried, and secondly, the situation in the palace is too complicated, so it's better not to talk about it."

Zhao Zhongliang was also speechless: "This matter is tantamount to picking chestnuts from the fire, it is very dangerous."

Zhao Xinghe said: "I won't fight directly, and I'm not stupid. But I will do something to make the situation change according to my wish."

Just as the prince was about to speak, Zhao Zhongliang said: "You must be careful. It's just that our palace will not come forward to help you."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Don't worry, my plan is very thorough, I can handle it myself."

The prince sighed: "You child, can you save me some trouble?"

Zhao Xinghe didn't say anything.But Zhao Zhongliang said: "Come on, go back quickly, you must discuss everything with your wife, and then do it, don't be rash."

Zhao Xinghe nodded: "Understood, Dad, Second Uncle, then I'll be leaving." After saying that, he went out.

The prince couldn't help complaining to Zhao Zhongliang: "Is this kid stupid? He wants to take back the mountains and rivers for nothing? What is he doing!"

But Zhao Zhongliang said: "The eldest son is a real person with the world in mind. That Xia Yuwei is also a real heroine."

The prince thought about it and sighed.
