Nangong Jinhong's move did catch me off guard.

I didn't expect that I was guarding against him everywhere, guarding against the eyes of the harem, and preventing the three imperial physicians from leaving the Yihua Palace. I even closed the Yihua Palace today, and did not allow Nangong Lizhu to appear here to reveal the real news to them. Instead, because of these measures, Nangong Jinhong "turned off the ground".

Sometimes, the more vague the truth, the more uneasy it makes people feel.

What he caught was the human psychology. Although these court officials were divided into parties, they didn't know what happened to Pei Yuanhao. Nangong Jinhong said my behavior in this way, which undoubtedly made their speculation forget the worst aspects.

In this way, there will be no chaos, and there will be chaos!

At this moment, my mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find the loophole in his words, or what else I could do to fight back, but he seemed to know exactly what I was thinking, and didn't give me any chance. He stepped forward and said to Chang Qing: "This strange thing happened in Yihua Palace, but the Empress seemed to have no idea at all, and he didn't even have to enter Yihua Palace to find out the truth. Queen, can the Emperor's safety be so careless?"

It seems that he pushed me out step by step, and then forced Chang Qing to ask, in this way, no matter who we both spoke in front of the ministers, it was not enough to accept it.

At this moment, a cough sounded from the court.

Everyone was attracted by the coughing sound. When they turned around, they saw that in the most inconspicuous place in the crowd, Fu Badai was covering his mouth and coughing hard, while Qi Bixing beside him was holding him honestly, gently wiping his back with one hand to help him calm down.

After a while, his cough stopped.

Nangong Jinhong kept looking at him, and at this time there was a faint smile on his face: "Mr. Fu, Master Fu seems to have something to say?"

At this time, Fu Badai blinked his turbid eyes and said with a smile: "Old man, his eyes are blind and his ears are deaf. I just listen to you for a while, and then what is it like to be facing a great enemy? What is the emperor's illness? Why is it that no one cares about it, and he has no idea?"

Nangong Jinhong was stunned by his words.

Indeed, although he was just asking Pei Yuanhao about it, afterwards, the topic of the conversation had completely turned to attacking Chang Qing and me, and he did not mention the emperor's condition at all.

This makes people think about it too much.

However, Nangong Jinhong was not panicked, just smiled and said, "Yes, the official is careless."

Fu Badai did not continue to say this, but turned to me and said slowly: "So, what is the condition of the emperor?"

My face slightly sank.

Is this time already coming?

At this time, I can no longer hide it. If I still have to hide it, then with Nangong Jinhong's thoughts, his next step must be to arrange to enter Yihua Palace and personally visit the emperor's condition. In that case, we will fall into a passive position; but admitting the emperor's condition may make everyone realize that the emperor may not be able to wake up and deal with the government in a short period of time. In this way,

I looked at Fu Badai.

He was blind, so he naturally couldn't see my eyes, and Cha Bixing, who was beside him, was calm as always and smiled at me.

“…”

I had no other choice but to say softly: "His Majesty the Emperor, he--"

At this time, Chang Qing even held her breath and looked at me in a cold sweat, while the other civil and military officials also stared at me with burning eyes.

"He is in a coma now."

As soon as I finished speaking, before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, the entire hall started to make a fuss.

I suddenly experienced what Chang Qing had just experienced, as if thousands of people were pointing to him. The courtiers immediately pointed at me with the hornets that had been poked in their nests, and shouted loudly-

"What, the emperor is in a coma?!"

"How could this happen?"

"The emperor has no major illness on weekdays, so why did he suddenly fall into a coma?"

"Someone must be trying to harm the emperor!"

I don’t know who said the last sentence, but the word “harm” immediately seemed like a stone thrown into the lake, shaking the entire hall. The people seemed to be stabbed by needles, and all started to make a fuss.

"Yes, someone must have harmed the emperor!"

"Otherwise the emperor wouldn't have been showing up for so many days."

"We must investigate strictly, strictly investigate!"

Hearing the voices of those people, Chang Qing reacted very quickly this time, immediately stepped forward and sternly said to those people: "What are you talking about nonsense?! I have already made it clear just now that the emperor is a dragon body. Yesterday, the imperial concubine also saw the emperor with her own eyes. She advised the emperor to rest. Now you want to say that someone is a imperial concubine, is it that the person who murdered the emperor is a imperial concubine!"

Although her words were to rebuke the officials, the topic of the conversation was obviously turned to Nangong Jinhong.

At this moment, everyone froze.

No matter what happened to Nangong Jinhong and Nangong Lizhu privately showed a completely different attitude and approach in this matter, but in everyone's eyes, the imperial concubine is still Nangong Jinhong's daughter. If the matter involves her, then Nangong Jinhong must be careful.

So, the noisy sounds slowly calmed down.

I looked at Nangong Jinhong and saw how he reacted. At this moment, his face looked a little ugly. He hesitated to the officials around him who were looking at him and waiting for him to express his opinion, before slowly saying: "The Empress and the Imperial Concubine have said this. Of course, no one will harm the Emperor."

As soon as he said this, I immediately continued to smile: "Mr. Nangong is worthy of being Master. It's true that I should be more sensible."

He looked at me with a grim expression and said, "It's not wrong for Lord Nangong to say that I'm facing a great enemy. However, I'm not for anything else, but because His Majesty the Emperor has been guarding the princess, extremely tired, closed the palace gate, and did not let people enter and exit at will, and even let several imperial physicians stay in Yihua Palace, just to take care of His Majesty the Emperor's body and not let anyone disturb him. Now that the Imperial Concubine is guarding the Emperor, he has also solved the worries of the people."

"However," his voice dragged a little longer: "Miss Yan just said that the emperor was unconscious. In this case, the government affairs--"

Finally, it's time to talk about the topic.

At this moment, the few of us looked at each other, all of us tense, and we didn't dare to speak easily. When Nangong Jinhong said this, he paused again before saying, "The country cannot be without a king for a day."

I was about to speak and said that the emperor would not remain unconscious all the time, but he had already rushed in front of me and said, "It has been seven days since the government has been abandoned. If this continues, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos."

Chang Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Nangong is worthy of being a loyal minister."

"I dare not eat the king's fortune and bear the worries of the king."

"Then I guess Lord Nangong has already thought of a solution to this situation now."

Chang Qing threw the topic to him, but he was stunned for a moment.

At this time, no matter whether the officials have prepared in advance or have thought of a solution, they must give in first. He almost subconsciously said: "This is a poor minister who is not good at virtue and talent, and he is afraid that he is not able to bear it--"

"Yes," I immediately said to Chang Qing without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Empress, Lord Nangong is already very tired of holding an important position in the court. The Empress also has to hand over this burden to Lord Nangong, but I am afraid that he will have no time to take care of it."

Chang Qing also hurriedly said, "Yes, I am confused."

She said as she smiled at Nangong Jinhong's face that suddenly changed her face and said, "It is true that I know nothing about the government, so I made such a mistake. Qingying's words just now reminded me, Lord Fu--"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly turned from Nangong Jinhong to the other side.

Fu Badai was covering his mouth and coughing in a low voice. When he heard Chang Qing calling him, he waved his arms quickly. Qi Bixing immediately helped him out and bowed to the queen: "The old minister is here."

Chang Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Fu is the prince's grand guarantor and has a lot of knowledge. In this case, can Master Fu know what to do?"

This time, the eyes of those people became even hotter.

I clearly saw Zheng Zhui, Fang Tongting and others with anger on their faces, and they looked at Fu Badai and Qi Bixing, looking at each other with a look of readying, as if once Fu Badai spoke, they would rush up the next moment, tearing the old man to pieces and not leaving any bones left.

How would Fu Badai speak?

Although I was always relieved of him, my heartbeat a little faster at this moment.

I saw the blind old man smiled at Chang Qing, and then said slowly: "Just just now, I seemed to hear Lord Nangong say that - the country cannot be without a king for a day?"

Nangong Jinhong had a calm face: "Yes."

Fu Badai said with a smile: "I think Mr. Nangong must have read a lot of books. How can I take the exam for Mr. Nangong?"

Everyone was surprised. I don’t know why when he was discussing such an important matter in the court, he suddenly started to drop his bag and wanted to take the exam for Nangong Jinhong. No matter what, Nangong Jinhong was also born in the imperial examination. Even if Fu Badai was well-educated, it would not be so easy to take the exam for him.

So, Nangong Jinhong said, "What are Lord Fu going to take the exam?"

Fu Badai said: "The Zuo Zhuan says, "Do you don't believe in the ministers? Because of the difficulties of Qi, you are worried. I dare to ask Lord Nangong, what is the next sentence?"

Nangong Jinhong frowned: "Young Master cannot be visited, so I want to ask for the eldest Lord."

"No, very good," Fu Badai put on an old and pedantic look, stretched out his hand and stroked his gray beard, and nodded frequently, as if he was quite satisfied with his students.

Although everyone around me thought he was a little confused, I understood this time.

He had already overwhelmed Nangong Jinhong in his momentum, and even showed obvious advantages in his identity, age and knowledge. In this way, as long as what he said later, as long as it is not excessive and unreasonable, Nangong Jinhong, as a junior, cannot refute him casually.

Besides, there is a trap buried in his words!

I could hardly help but smile lightly, and then I saw Nangong Jinhong frowning: "Why did Mr. Fu ask this sentence?"

Fu Badai smiled and said, "Young Master cannot be visited, so I want to ask for the eldest master. In this way, I will make a little change."

“…”

"The eldest king cannot be obtained, so I will visit the young king."

Nangong Jinhong's face darkened.
