Chapter 28 He Has Mastered This Question in Advance Again!

The crisis was not resolved.

As long as the Liu family is the mother's family of the fifth prince, the princes grow up and get involved in the struggle for the throne. It is difficult for Emperor Xiao Yunzhou to say how to view the Liu family, the in-laws.

Since ancient times, the emperor gradually aged and became incapable of doing things. Seeing the young and strong princes and princes wanting to inherit the throne and waiting for him to die, he would become more and more suspicious.

Even if he was appointed as the prince, there were many people who were demoted and imprisoned in history.

Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger!

Master Liu, who was just a little proud, and Concubine Liu, who was relieved, felt their hearts tighten again.

[The emperor father hates ministers forcing him to appoint a prince. ]

[Whoever mentions it will be on his blacklist! ] [Grandfather, you almost got demoted again and again because of this matter. ]

Master Liu's mouth twitched.

Concubine Liu glanced at him worriedly.

Xiao Chuchu muttered in her heart, [But there is actually a good way, which the emperor father will come up with next year. ]

[He told the ministers that he agreed to establish a crown prince, but would not announce who the crown prince was. He would hang the name behind the plaque in the meeting hall of the Qianqing Palace. ]

[Until he died, the ministers could see the decree behind the plaque. ]

Master Liu's beard trembled.

This is indeed a good way to have the best of both worlds!

It not only solved the dilemma of the emperor's sudden death and no one to inherit the throne, but also made the princes and ministers not know who the successor is.

In this way, the princes can continue to work hard day and night.

The ministers did not dare to take it lightly and stand in line to seek benefits.

The emperor is really smart!

Master Liu was secretly shocked, and then sweat broke out on his neck.

The emperor seemed to be suppressed by the cabinet and the remonstrators, but in fact, the emperor's intelligence was not inferior to the ministers. The emperor might not be unable to understand their secret little moves!

"My queen, it's time for the little princess to drink milk."

The wet nurse Zhang Jia reminded softly.

This woke up Concubine Liu.

Xiao Chuchu was in Master Liu's arms, and she felt hungry and her little head was a little dizzy.

Master Liu looked down and saw his granddaughter's pink lips smacking, so he reluctantly carried her to Zhang Jiashi.

Master Liu watched her go to the side hall, and was still thinking about the emperor's affairs.

"Madam Liu, it's getting late. It's time for me to leave the palace." Master Liu also stood up and said goodbye to his daughter.

He, the grandfather, dared not think about the fifth prince fighting for the throne.

But... what if?

Stop, I can't think about it anymore!

Master Liu's eyes flickered, and he forced himself to recite Buddhist scriptures.

But even so, he couldn't stop recalling the warning his wife told him when she came home from Qiushan in the dead of night.

——After the new emperor ascends the throne, the fifth prince will be the first to be feared and die on the battlefield.

Master Liu felt a pain in his heart when he thought about it. If the emperor died three years later, wouldn't this happen within ten years at most?

How old would Xiaowu be at that time?

He knew that General Qi's youngest son grew up in the military camp. At the age of eleven, he was still a minor, and was surrounded and killed by the enemy along with General Qi.

Master Liu felt unbearable pain when he thought about it.

[Oh, today is the seventh day of the lunar year. I remember that my grandfather seemed to be tripped by the threshold and broke his right arm, which resulted in him being unable to go on duty for a month! ]

Xiao Chuchu was in Zhang Jia's arms and had been taken to the side hall.

Master Liu, who was only three steps away from the threshold across a wall, heard this sentence out of the blue.

His head was numb!

Is he going to fall again?

Master Liu was thinking about the Fifth Prince's affairs just now, and he was very attentive.

At this moment, he heard it in his ears, but his body couldn't react.

Unlike the day when the Qiushan sacrifice set out before, his wife asked the servant to support him. Today, there was no one around him.

Master Liu, who had been used to working in government offices and studying for more than ten years, was not very agile.

He knew to be careful, but he stepped on a puddle of water and slipped in an instant!

Even after hearing his granddaughter's reminder, he couldn't control his fall at this moment, and fell face first on the threshold of Donghua Palace.

"Wei Zheng! Support Master Liu!"

It was too late to say it, but it was too late. The emperor, who had finished dealing with half of the memorials and was about to take a lunch break to find the little princess, was just entering Donghua Palace when Xiao Yunzhou stepped into the palace.

In an instant, the emperor heard the little princess's voice.

[Grandfather will fall on the threshold today...]

His little princess predicted like a fairy again.

Then, he saw that Master Liu not only didn't pay attention, but also fell flat on his face in public.

"Ouch!" Wei Zheng, who was beside Xiao Yunzhou, rushed over to be a human cushion for Master Liu, and his left arm snapped, as if it was broken.

The Liu family master's forehead hit the ground, breaking the skin and bleeding.

But it was not serious.

When Concubine Liu heard the noise, she rushed out in shock, "Dad! The emperor——"

"No need to be polite, call the imperial physician!"

Xiao Yunzhou helped her up, and then helped Old Liu up himself, checking his hands and feet for injuries with a gentle look.

There were mixed feelings in his eyes... He was full of sympathy and worry for Old Liu's fall, and he was relieved again!

Old Liu couldn't hear the little princess's voice.

This time it was truly verified!

Xiao Yunzhou waited for the imperial physician to bandage Wei Zheng, and after confirming that Old Liu was fine and just had a few scratches, he rewarded Wei Zheng, whose left arm was broken.

Seeing Wei Zheng grimacing in pain, Xiao Yunzhou narrowed his eyes.

Old Liu's fall just now was without any water. If Wei Zheng hadn't been smart and cushioned under him, it would definitely be Old Liu who had his arm broken.

This level couldn't be fake.

When he came here just now, he didn't let the eunuch pass on the message, so Old Master Liu inside didn't know he was here.

And to enter the side hall where Concubine Liu was, he had to turn around a screen wall.

So Old Master Liu couldn't see him before, and there was no reason for him to pretend to fall.

Xiao Yunzhou was really relieved this time.

Originally, after the morning court session, he saw that all the officials were so shocked by Zhou Wuxin's evil deeds, and thought that only Old Liu had found out about Zhou Wuxin. After leaving the court and calming down, he became a little suspicious.

Old Liu's knowledge of others is similar to what he heard from the warning of the little princess.

Xiao Yunzhou was a little suspicious just now.

But now, all doubts are gone!

Xiao Yunzhou looked at Old Liu with a wound on his forehead, and found that he was very self-blaming and thanking Wei Zheng, who had a broken bone, and he felt a lot of guilt in his heart.

Alas, I am too suspicious!

I shouldn't be like this. The little princess is the reincarnation of a fairy. How could everyone hear the warning given to him by the heaven?

Xiao Yunzhou regretted it a little. He shouldn't treat a good minister like this!

After rewarding Wei Zheng, who was loyal to his master, Xiao Yunzhou kept Old Liu who wanted to leave.

"I'm not careful enough."

"Last night, Elder Liu accompanied me to expose Zhou Wuxin's corrupt practices. It must have been very tiring and he hasn't slept yet."

"So you fell down just now because you were exhausted. Alas, it's all my fault. I should have let Elder Liu go home and rest."

Elder Liu was shocked.

Concubine Liu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

The emperor was so nice, and he admitted his mistake?

But according to the little princess, even if there was no last night, her grandfather would have fallen down at the doorstep at home...

But Xiao Yunzhou gently insisted on keeping Elder Liu, "You go to my Chonghua Palace to rest and take a nap."

Elder Liu and Concubine Liu were shocked.

"There is a couch in my study in Chonghua Palace. Let the imperial physician come to see your injury before dinner."

No, how could he become a favorite minister just by falling down? ! He can even sleep in the emperor's study?

Elder Liu was stunned.

The emperor worked and he slept?

And the injury on his forehead was not serious at all. If you stay a little longer, it will heal!

Old Liu was flattered, but he couldn't refuse the emperor's kindness.

After declining three times, he finally went, and gave his daughter a reassuring look before leaving.

But unexpectedly, the emperor just stepped into the study room of Chonghua Palace, sat at the table and picked up the memorial, and when he saw the eunuch making the bed for Old Liu, he asked after thinking.

"Hey. Old Liu, do you think I should establish a prince?"

Old Master Liu: "!!!"

Oh my god.

Isn't this a coincidence!

He has learned this question in advance again!
