A big fire burned. The entire forest turned into purgatory.

The unconscious Yin Yang woke up from the heat wave of the blazing fire. He hurriedly climbed up and retreated a few steps before regaining his senses. Immediately, his entire body was dead!

“Your Highness! … Your Highness!!” Looking at the sea of flames in front of him, Yin Yang shouted hysterically. Then, the iron-like man knelt on the ground helplessly and cried out.

“This subordinate is incompetent, unable to protect His Highness’ safety. Now, even His Highness’ corpse is unable to be rescued! … I, how can I have the face to live in this world!”

Forget Qi Hao, Yin Yang drew his saber and placed it on his neck.

Just as I was about to commit suicide, my mind suddenly jolted-“No! If I want to see someone alive, I want to see a corpse! Besides, even if His Highness is dead, I must report this matter to the government and bring the murderer to justice, so that the truth can be returned to the world. Otherwise, wouldn’t His Highness die unknowingly?”

Thinking of this, Yin Yang slowly put down his saber and sheathed it. He knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face and kowtowed a few times to the sea of fire. He stood up and searched around for his colleagues and horses, but he found nothing. He believed that they were all buried in the sea of fire. At this moment, he could only use his grief and indignation to sprint towards An Ning County.

That day, after the Anding County Government pressed Yin Yang to report the case, they immediately dispatched all their manpower to search the forest. In the end, they only found a few charred corpses that were completely unrecognizable after the fire was extinguished. Everyone in Anding County panicked. The prince was attacked and killed in the country. This was a huge matter!

In panic, the county government had to quickly report this matter to its immediate superior, Jingzhou Prefecture. Immediately after, the entire Jingzhou Prefecture felt as if an earthquake had occurred, causing an uproar. The Jingzhou Prefecture’s army dispatched all of their troops. Nearly ten thousand people once again turned the entire forest and every inch of Jingzhou’s land upside down, and they didn’t find any clues related to Li Ke.

While his subordinates were busy with this matter, the governor of Jingzhou trembled as he wrote down the memorial and reported it to the Imperial Court.

Even though the entire Jingzhou Prefecture had done its best to keep it a secret, there was no wall that could not be breathed through. Within a few days, the news of King Wu’s assassination in Jingzhou’s Anding County shook the capital, causing an uproar in the world!

The entire Imperial Court was in chaos!

The person who received the report from Jingzhou was Fang Xuanling. He, who had always been a dignified old Taoist, almost fainted on the spot. He didn’t know how to report this matter to the Emperor. When he bravely went to the Imperial Study to see Li Shimin, Li Shimin was in a good mood chatting with Eldest Sun Wuji.

Seeing Fang Xuanling’s rare panic-stricken expression, Li Shimin asked in surprise, “What kind of big event has happened to him?” Fang Xuanling knew that there was no way to conceal the matter, and he had to come up with a countermeasure at the first possible moment, so he handed the report to Li Shimin to see.

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin’s entire body instantly became petrified. He didn’t move, didn’t speak, and even his eyes were dull. However, his face was as pale as white paper.

“Your Majesty … take care!” Fang Xuanling, who had also experienced the pain of losing his son, couldn’t help but cry as he knelt down and begged.

Changsun Wuji was shocked. He could no longer care about the etiquette of the monarchs and officials. He almost snatched the memorial from Li Shimin, who was standing in a daze. He cried out on the spot-“Ah!!” This! ”

Li Shimin’s head and eyes suddenly blurred as he rubbed his forehead with his hand and was on the verge of collapse. Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji were shocked and hurriedly supported him to the left and right, helping him sit down.

Looking at Li Shimin’s face again, it was a bloody red. Even his eyes were filled with blood, but his mouth was panting heavily and foaming. It was extremely frightening!

“Quick, call the imperial physician, imperial physician!!!”

This time, even the two prime ministers panicked-“Your Majesty, this is a sign of wind disease!”

Before the imperial physician arrived, Li Shimin fainted. He clenched his fists tightly and clenched his teeth. His face was flushed red and the corners of his mouth were covered in white foam, scaring the souls of Eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the imperial physician out of their wits!

Eldest Sun Wuji was the most frightened. He was Li Shimin’s brother-in-law and knew him very well. He was the most familiar with the Li Clan. He knew that the Li Clan had always had a family hereditary “wind disease”. As long as this wind disease broke out, it could cause a mobility disability, or even paralysis, foolishness, or even death!

Moreover, this illness was hidden very deeply, and when it did not attack normally, it was no different from an ordinary person. Once the attack broke out, it was extremely fierce and unavoidable!

The Emperor’s heart was clearly filled with pain and fury, and it was very likely that he had triggered a wind disease!

…

The imperial physicians were busy late into the night, while Eldest Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling waited outside the room for the night. The two of them personally guarded this place. They had to tightly seal off the news. Otherwise, if this matter were to spread out, the Imperial Court would be in chaos!

At dawn, several imperial physicians came out of their rooms exhausted. They reported to Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling that the Emperor had indeed suffered a sudden wind disease. Fortunately, they were able to discover and save him in time. Fortunately, their lives were temporarily unharmed. However, it is not known whether it will lead to other symptoms or sequelae.

Eldest Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were instantly anxious!

At this critical juncture, the Emperor had suddenly fallen ill. Wasn’t it because the heavens had descended upon the Great Tang and made things worse for them?

“Husband Fang, at this critical moment, you and I have to stand up and stabilize the situation. Don’t cause the Imperial Court to fall into a state of panic and chaos!” Eldest Sun Wuji said with a grim expression, “His Majesty’s sudden illness caught people off guard.” Now we have three big things to do. First, he used all of his strength to save His Majesty, and did not publicize the news tightly; The second is to use the Pavilion Department Zhu Pi to temporarily preside over all government affairs on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor in order to ensure the stability of the Imperial Court; Thirdly, we should dispatch competent personnel to deal with the King Wu case with all our might. “Husband Fang, what do you think?”

Fang Xuanling frowned deeply and pondered for a moment before nodding solemnly, “Situ is not in chaos in the face of danger. I have no objection to it.” However, the fact that His Majesty had fallen ill could not be concealed for a long time. Moreover, someone had to take charge of the situation in the harem. Otherwise, the harem was full of people and it was inevitable that news would leak out. In addition, the sudden use of the Pavilion Department Zhu Pi, instead of the Emperor’s batch memorial, I also agree. However, there must be more than three prime ministers to participate and be presided over by the Crown Prince or the Imperial Prince. Look … ”

Eldest Sun Wuji’s eyebrows couldn’t help but jump as he thought to himself, Fang Xuanling is so cunning! He quietly threw this hot arrow into my hand! … In this extremely sensitive and unusual period, who should we let preside over the work of the Pavilion Department?

King Wei, Li Tai?

King Jin, Li Zhi? !

King Wu had just been assassinated, and the Emperor had suddenly fallen ill. If any prince were to be pushed onto the stage right now, the Imperial Council would be ordered to go into the Hidden Dragon Soaring Abyss. It was highly likely that he would be restored to the Eastern Palace in the near future. Secondly, there must be a suspicion that he was the one who benefited the most, that was, the mastermind behind the scenes, and it was inevitable that people would mistakenly think that he was the one who benefited the most!

Eldest Sun Wuji had a grim expression on his face, and he didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Fang Xuanling remained silent as he waited for Eldest Sun Wuji to finish his sentence.

“Why don’t we ask His Majesty later?” After holding back for a long time, Changsun Wuji squeezed out this sentence.

This matter was so important that Eldest Sun Wuji didn’t dare to make a decision. Adding on the fact that he had the courage to push out Li Zhi Jian Guo’s failed pen, he was even more shocked.

“That’s good” Fang Xuanling remained calm and said, “I just don’t know when His Majesty will awaken.”

“This, we can only resign ourselves to fate” Eldest Sun Wuji let out a long sigh.

“If His Majesty doesn’t awaken, will the Imperial Court be abandoned? In that case, my Great Tang will truly be in chaos.” Fang Xuanling seemed to intentionally make things difficult for Eldest Sun Wuji.

The expression on Eldest Sun Wuji’s face became even uglier, and he simply threw the bag back to Fang Xuanling like a cheat-“Then tell me, which prince should come to the Imperial Council!”

Fang Xuanling smiled indifferently. “Didn’t King Jin have the experience of a supervisor before?”

“King Jin? He can’t!” Eldest Sun Wuji immediately waved his hand and cursed Fang Xuanling anxiously and angrily in his heart, “You’re so careless!” Aren’t you clearly abandoning King Wei and letting me split up with him? Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling, normally, you are a modest gentleman who does not compete with the world. Now, at such a crucial juncture, you have actually used a sinister move!

“Then … we can only let King Wei come.” Fang Xuanling asked in an inquiring tone.

“King Wei … King Wei, he … isn’t too appropriate either.” Thinking back to the failure to support Li Zhijian and the fact that the Emperor’s illness was unknown, Eldest Sun Wuji felt a sudden uneasiness in his heart, and his mouth was unable to squeak.

“Why?” Fang Xuanling broke the casserole and asked to the end.

“Tsk!!” Eldest Sun Wuji was getting impatient. “You ask me, who should I ask?! … Anyway, wait for His Majesty to decide!”

Fang Xuanling still nodded his head quietly. “It seems that this is the only way. May I ask which concubine in the harem should take care of His Majesty and preside over the harem?”

Fang Xuanling asked coincidentally and slyly. He deliberately addressed Eldest Sun Wuji as “the uncle of the country”. The implication was that this was more or less a matter of the royal family. It would be easier for you as the uncle of the country to deal with it. At the same time, he pushed Eldest Sun Wuji to the forefront of another storm. Ever since Li Shimin left the Immortal Empress Chang Sun, the harem had no owner. At this critical juncture, it was similar to choosing a prince to supervise the kingdom by hiring a concubine to take care of the sick emperor and preside over the harem.

Eldest Sun Wuji became even more confused and furious, “This matter … I have no choice but to ask His Majesty!”

Fang Xuanling revealed a puzzled expression, “Your Majesty is seriously ill, how can you personally experience everything? If even you lose your mind in this critical moment, what will we do?”

Eldest Sun Wuji almost choked to death by Fang Xuanling’s words, his face flushed red. He could only grind his teeth and secretly ponder. After a long time, he suppressed his words, “Consort Yin De! Just Consort Yin De!”

“That’s good.” Fang Xuanling nodded. “Concubine Yin De is gentle and graceful. She is also famous. She is indeed a suitable candidate.”

The two of them tacitly understood that Concubine Yin De only had one son, Li You, who had been killed in the early years of the rebellion. Right now, she did not have any offspring. Among the Fourth Concubine, her prestige was relatively high, and she had never fallen into a power struggle. Now, letting her take care of the Emperor and preside over the harem would indeed reduce many unnecessary troubles and suspicions.

Otherwise, would it be Li Ke’s mother, Concubine Yang? Or was it Wei Fei, the daughter of the Wei Clan from the Wei Du Clan in the south of the city, or was it Xu Fei, who had recently gained favor and was the subject of rumors?

If the above Third Concubine suddenly appeared on the surface, it could even trigger great upheaval in the Imperial Court!

“In short, you and I will stabilize the overall situation of the Imperial Court first. As for who will be in charge of the country, we will decide after His Majesty wakes up.” Changsun Wuji felt that if he didn’t stop Xuan Ling’s mouth, he wouldn’t be able to stand it anymore, so he made a “closing statement.” He said, “In addition, Jingzhou must send an important member of the Pavilion Department to handle it properly. How about letting Chu Suiliang go?”

“Alright.” Fang Xuanling agreed without saying a word.

Although Fang Xuanling knew that Changsun Wuji intended to divert Chu Suiliang at this critical moment, he could not find any reason to object.

Chu Suiliang was now a special person in the court. On the surface, Chu Suiliang, the youngest member of the Pavilion Department, was an ally of the United Front with Changsun Wuji. But many things happened before proved that the two of them were just seemingly divorced, and Chu Suiliang seemed to be loyal to only one person, the Emperor. Without violating His Majesty’s orders, he could follow the lead of Eldest Sun Wuji, or he could be extremely close to Qin Mubai, Li Ji, and the others.

Therefore, Chu Suiliang, Changsun Wuji has long harbored a grudge that he is likely to be unreliable at a critical moment. Instead of doing this, it was better to wait for him to react and kick him away first. Don’t expect much help from him, just don’t go back on your word at the critical moment.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji were thinking about the same thing: King Wu’s assassination and the Emperor’s illness would inevitably trigger an earth-shattering upheaval. All the hidden contradictions in the Imperial Court were about to erupt at this moment, turning into fierce clashes.

In other words, whoever died in the Eastern Palace Battle for the Deer Hand was about to unravel the mystery.

At that time, I wonder who will be victorious, who will rise and fall, how many families will rise to the top, how many families will never recover, how many winds and clouds will change, how many heads will fall to the ground …
