Chapter 145
In the fifth year of Yuanbao in the Jin Dynasty, the situation in the dynasty was changing.

After Emperor Yuanbao was ill and unable to go to court, Empress Zhao listened to the government behind the curtain, and King Cheng and King Hui supervised the country together. The courtiers were divided into several factions, one supported King Cheng, the other supported King Hui, and the other was neutral.

In April, there were rumors that King Hui had an unmentionable illness, and he hadn’t consummated the marriage with his concubine so far, so he might not have an heir. When the courtiers heard this, they began to waver. Those who originally supported King Hui took a wait-and-see attitude.

Soon, another news came out, saying that King Hui had consummated the marriage with Concubine Song, and that Princess Hui was sick and had gone to the Eight Immortals Nunnery to recuperate.

In May, another good news came from Prince Hui's mansion, saying that Song's side concubine was pregnant, and the mansion celebrated with joy.

The courtiers heard that they all congratulated King Hui, and the rumors that King Hui had a secret illness were self-defeating.

In August, Emperor Yuanbao's condition deteriorated, and he was still unable to visit the imperial court or receive courtiers. The courtiers began to submit papers and asked for the establishment of a prince.

There is no end to disputes over the candidate for the crown prince.

Those who support King Cheng say that King Cheng grew up in the palace, learned the art of governing since childhood, has the style of an emperor, and is suitable for being a monarch.

Those who supported King Hui said that King Hui grew up among the people and knew the sufferings of the people. When he became a government in the future, he would solve the difficulties of the people and create a prosperous dynasty.

The other two prominent figures in the court, Empress Zhao and Uncle Chang Guo, remained silent.

The courtiers knew that Empress Zhao naturally supported King Hui, and Uncle Chang Guo naturally supported his nephew King Cheng.

In the second half of the fifth year of Yuanbao, there was a lot of disturbances, and the position of the crown prince was still pending, and the end of the year was soon approaching.

The courtiers took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to ask to see Emperor Yuanbao, and only then did news spread from the palace that Emperor Yuanbao was still in a coma.

The news shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

In the spring of the sixth year of Yuanbao, Concubine Song of King Hui gave birth to a daughter, and the rumors about Prince Hui's secret illness were no longer brought up.

When Nanny Gu heard the news that Concubine Song had given birth to her daughter, she was so angry that she thumped the table, gritted her teeth and said, "She's quite proud."

Just as she was secretly hating, Fei Cui came in and said, "Nurse, Dr. Liu is here!"

"Please come in!" Nanny Gu stood up and said, "I'll report to the princess."

Xia Fei was practicing calligraphy in the room, when she heard Liu Qinghao coming, she said softly without looking up, "Please come in!"

"The concubine is getting thinner again!" Liu Qinghao entered the room, saluted and sighed.

Xia Fei put down her pen and said with a smile, "Is there any news when you come back?"

"I'll take the princess's pulse first, and I'll talk about the rest later." Liu Qinghao took out the medicine pillow and motioned Xia Fei to stretch out his hand.

After diagnosing the pulse, Liu Qinghao said with joy on his face: "The poison that the princess was poisoned earlier, the remaining poison has all been cleared up, and from today onwards, there is no need to abstain from meat and fish."

Xia Fei smiled and said: "This is the Temple of the Eight Immortals, and there are only vegetarian dishes. If you want to eat meat, then you can go to the nunnery."

Liu Qinghao said with a serious face: "When I came, the prince said, I still want to ask the princess to stay in the nunnery for a few more months."

Xia Fei sighed: "You don't need to hide it from me, he must have worked hard and didn't want me to worry, so he said such a thing."

Liu Qinghao remained silent.The disciples of the Chang family were all over the world, and Uncle Chang Guo had monopolized the power for several years. Suddenly, the voices of the government and the public were still calling for King Licheng to be the crown prince.

Although Wei Guan had the support of Empress Zhao and General Chen, the number of civil servants who favored him was too small.

Xia Fei stared out the window, recalling the events of her previous life.

In her previous life, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to Cheng Yujing, and only vaguely remembered that in the sixth year of Yuanbao, King Cheng was named the crown prince, and after that, the imperial examination...

Wait a minute, I remember that when Cheng Yujing was the number one scholar in high school, Jin Dian faced the king, and Emperor Yuanbao appointed him as the number one scholar.That is to say, in the second half of the sixth year of Yuanbao, Emperor Yuanbao can go to court!

Xia Fei's heart beat wildly, she turned her head and said: "Doctor Liu, tell the prince after you go back, please come over by all means, I have something to say to him."
