After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

The Queen Mother's health became worse and worse, and the Emperor's illness became more and more serious.

Gu Suyue has been very busy recently and spends almost all day in the pharmacy.

In order to show his concern for her, the prince would accompany her whenever he had time.

Jiang Qi, on the other hand, was waiting on the side, like a dutiful slave.

Since both the Queen Mother and the Emperor were ill, the situation in the court became tense. The Prince was young after all, so many ministers suggested that Prince Rui help him.

Huangfu Chenyang naturally did not want to see this situation, but Emperor Nanchen made a decree to let Prince Rui assist the prince in handling government affairs.

That night, Huangfu Chenyang lost his temper with Gu Suyue for the first time.

"Gusu Yue, is this the imperial edict your fault?"

Since she met Huangfu Chenyang, this was the first time Gu Suyue saw him look so ferocious, and she was really frightened.

"Brother Chenyang, I don't know what you are talking about?"

Gu Suyue is a saint in southern Xinjiang. She has been supported since she was a child. She is not good at palace fighting and cannot hide her emotions, so Huangfu Chenyang can clearly see the guilt in her eyes at a glance.

"What did you say to my father?"

Because she had to treat Emperor Nanchen, Gu Suyue had many opportunities to come into contact with Emperor Nanchen. It was really convenient if she wanted to say something.

"I didn't say anything, Huangfu Chenyang, I gave up so much for you, how could you doubt me?"

Gu Suyue was also angry and called Huangfu Chenyang by his full name, which she would never have done before because she felt it was not intimate enough.

"Snapped."

Huangfu Chenyang slapped Gu Suyue hard. This was the first time he hit Gusuyue, but the force was not small.

Gu Suyue was knocked to the ground directly, blood slid down the corner of her mouth, and tears flowed out instantly.

"Huangfu Chenyang, you hit me? If it weren't for me, you would have been Zhou Mei's dog."

Gu Suyue, who had never been treated like this before, was so angry that she lost her temper.

Huangfu Chenyang was a little regretful at first, but after listening to Gu Suyue's words, he was only angry.

He directly raised his foot and kicked him, "Bitch, I am too indulgent of you. Today I will let you remember it for a long time."

"Ah, it hurts, don't hit me."

Gu Suyue fought back hard at first, but then she was beaten and could only beg for mercy.

"Dong dong dong, Your Highness, can I come in?" Jiang Qi patted the door anxiously.

"Get lost." Huangfu Chenyang was so angry that he completely lost his usual gentlemanly demeanor.

Jiang Qi did not leave immediately, but instead asked Gu Suyue for mercy.

"Your Highness, please don't fight, the Crown Princess will be injured."

Gu Suyue also didn't expect that Jiang Qi would plead for her.

"You are all bitches. I dote on you too much. You all deserve to die."

Huangfu Chenyang hated both of them.

"Huangfu Chenyang, this saint is going back to southern Xinjiang. I will never forgive you again." Gu Suyue's love brain was also knocked awake at this time.

"Oh, it's not up to you now."

Huangfu Chenyang took out a rope and tied Gu Suyue tightly without paying attention to her struggle.

"Ah, Huangfu Chenyang, you are not a human being, I hate you."

"I have indulged you for so long, it's time to charge some interest."

"Huangfu Chenyang, where are you taking me?"

"Go where you should go." Huangfu Chenyang didn't want to listen to Gu Suyue anymore and directly stuffed her handkerchief into her mouth.

Jiang Qi had been waiting outside the door. When she saw the door opened, she rushed to greet it.

"Your Highness, please don't be impulsive. Let the princess go."

Gu Suyue could not speak and could only make whining sounds. She looked at Jiang Qi with gratitude and expectation. "Jiang Qi, don't forget that Gu Suyue has been teasing you since you entered the palace, and I am venting my anger on your behalf."

While Huangfu Chenyang spoke, he also blinked ambiguously at Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster as she looked at the handsome man in front of her.

"Your Highness, I don't blame the Crown Princess, but I still beg you..."

"Shh, you are just too kind." Huangfu Chenyang put his finger on Jiang Qi's mouth, making her blush again.

"Be good, I'll find you later."

After Huangfu Chenyang finished speaking, he took Gu Suyue and left.

Without Gu Suyue's medicine, the Queen Mother and Emperor Nanchen became even more seriously ill. Now the whole palace was in panic, not knowing when the situation would change.

Li Youwei came back from the eastern suburbs camp that day and saw the Prince's Mansion's carriage parked at the door.

The curtain on the carriage opened, and Huangfu Chenyang stepped on the steps to get out of the carriage.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Youwei saluted respectfully.

Huangfu Chen Yangxu helped him, "General Li, there is no need to be polite. I have something to discuss with you today. Is it convenient for us to talk in the palace?"

Huangfu Chenyang was not forceful towards Li Youwei, but spoke in a discussion-oriented tone.

"Your Highness, please come inside."

"it is good."

In the guest room, Bitao brought the best tea.

Huangfu Chenyang praised the tea and then got down to business.

"General Li, I'm afraid His Majesty's illness won't last long, and Prince Rui's ambitions are becoming more and more undisguised.

If he rebels and seizes the throne, please ask General Li to help me. "

Li Youwei knew in her heart that Huangfu Chenyang was here to force her to take sides today.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will guard the capital."

"Okay, leave the rest to me." After receiving Li Youwei's assurance, Huangfu Chenyang left in a good mood.

As soon as Huangfu Chenyang left, Li Dengyuan came right after him.

This is his first time to the Cheqi General's Mansion. It's not that he didn't want to come before, but he didn't dare to come.

As Li Youwei became more and more powerful, he no longer dared to use his father's majesty to suppress her. He even acted cautiously in front of Li Youwei.

"You Wei, you have seen the situation in the court now. Who do you think will win in the end?"

This was not the first time that Li Dengyuan asked Li Youwei this question, but she had never answered directly before. He didn't have high hopes this time, but he still asked An Xin.

"Dad, the next Nanchen Emperor recognized by Queen Mother Miaoyin is His Highness the Crown Prince, and according to the inheritance system of Nanchen Kingdom, this throne should also belong to the Crown Prince."

Although Prince Rui's ability is not inferior to that of the prince, it is not justifiable for him to want to be emperor due to the system of his ancestors.

"Youwei, dad knows what to do."

Li Dengyuan also didn't expect that Li Youwei would give him clear instructions this time.

"Youwei, you should go home and take a look when you have time. Don't worry, that girl Mingzhu is married, your mother has learned her lesson, and Yaozu is sensible now. No one will cause trouble for you."

Li Youwei is now Li Dengyuan's greatest pride. He sincerely hopes that she can return to the Li family so that they can flourish.

"Okay, I'll get back when I have time."

"Okay, okay, dad is going back first."

Li Dengyuan and his people left happily, and those who didn't know thought he had been promoted.

The situation in the capital is becoming increasingly tense, and New Year's Eve is ushered in in this explosive atmosphere.

Every New Year's Eve, ministers of fourth rank and above would bring their families to the palace to spend time with the emperor.

This year was no exception. When Li Youwei and Nalan Ling arrived, the banquet hall was already full of people.
