Chapter 18

The guards guarded by Baihua Palace were twice as many as last night, and they had to check in and out. Seeing Chen Zui coming, Zhou Lang went down the steps and bowed to him.

Chen Zui nodded: "Can you go in now?"

Zhou Lang said: "Please, please."

Chen Zui entered the hall, entered the emperor's bedroom, and saw Yu Rong and the others.

"Your Majesty's condition has stabilized." Zhao Run whispered to him.

Chen Zui nodded, walked to the sickbed, and saw Emperor Zhao Jin lying on the bed, with no blood on his face.

Perhaps the emperor would not die for a moment, but for him, the queen who was in a difficult situation, this was a good thing.

After seeing the emperor, he went to the room next door and talked about the emperor's condition with Yu Rong.

"The doctor said that Your Majesty's body has been damaged and it is impossible to heal, but I have asked the doctor to try his best to treat it, and he can delay it as long as he can."

"You are like your majesty. I have nothing to worry about leaving your majesty's affairs to you." Chen Zui said: "If there is anything I need to do, just give me the order."

Yu Rong was still very polite to him and said, "I dare not."

"Are you still checking for poisoning?"

"The investigation still needs to be investigated, and we must investigate it with great fanfare." Yu Rong said: "But your highness doesn't have to have too much hope. This matter is difficult to investigate."

Chen Zui also knew it was difficult to investigate, but he also realized that Yu Rong was going to make a plan.

It is indeed a big fanfare to put so many big figures in the palace. The guards of the Little Rose Palace are large, but they are not strict. His palace maids and Yu Huaiyong's subordinates have been in and out of it, which shows that there is something wrong with it.

However, he still can't interfere in political matters and does not have the political ability, so he can only wait and see what changes are.

Yu Rong's character is trustworthy, so he should have been with him and would not harm him.

The emperor's poisoning was soon announced, first on radio stations, and then on major newspapers. Although Zhao Jin's prestige among the people was not as good as the late emperor, the emperor of a country was poisoned by others. The news immediately shocked the whole country. Almost the whole Federation's eyes were staring at every move in the imperial court, and rumors also came one after another.

Everyone is guessing who the poisoned person is.

It was through this incident that Chen Zui saw the current domestic political situation.

Because of the article "Millions of Massive Soldiers Fall in Love with Me", before Empress Chen appeared, she first wrote about the Jerusalem Artichoke War, then the background of Empress Chen, and then the wedding of the emperor and empress. Because there are too many people appearing and the background setting is detailed, she wrote more than a hundred chapters before she wrote that the emperor was critically ill. She didn't pay much attention to the current domestic situation, and he relied on his own analysis.

He had always thought that Yu Rong had always remained neutral, but through this incident, he found that Yu Rong was inclined to Yu Huaiyong's side, because he looked at the domestic public opinion form every day and almost pointed the finger at Jerusalem Arto Island.

The media is the mouthpiece of the government, and their orientation must be guided by someone behind it. This person must be Yu Rong, and only he has such influence in the capital.

Zhao Run put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and walked to the window.

Chen Zui picked up the newspaper and took a look, and said, "Don't you believe it?"

"I know that if Your Majesty dies, my second brother will benefit the most. But once the poisoning is discovered, the first thing that everyone suspects is him, and I feel it is unbelievable. Don't you think all this seems to be targeting him on purpose?"

"Who do you think is the most suspicious?"

"Of course it's Yu Huaiyong." Zhao Run said: "He and his second brother have been tit-for-tat, and it's not a day or two. He uses this to frame my second brother. Once the second brother collapses, no one can compete with him."

"Why don't you doubt Yu Xiang?"

Zhao Run was stunned for a moment and looked back at him.

Chen Zui smiled and said, "Because as you said, once Your Majesty dies, in the order of seniority, the second highness will naturally succeed you. However, Yu Xiang doesn't like Your Majesty. He, like Your Majesty, wants to support you to the throne, which is what everyone knows."

Zhao Run's expression moved slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He pressed his right hand against the windowsill and couldn't help coughing twice. He was wearing a homely costume, his robe was loose, and his figure became thinner, but he had a delicate and mellow look, which made people fascinated.

What a beautiful man, he has an indescribable noble temperament. Chen Zui has been watching it for so many days but has never gotten tired of it.

"Yu Xiang, it's definitely not such a person." Zhao Run said.

Chen Zui was also a joke, and he felt that it was not like Yu Rong's purpose: "No matter who the poisoned person is or what the purpose is, at least after some operation, it has become a favorable thing for us. Your Majesty is still here, and the people below have been talking about it. Once Your Majesty dies in the future, Yu Huaiyong and the Second Highness will not be able to remove the stigma of regicide."

If you can't find out this matter, it's a good thing, and it's just that.

However, Chen Zui also felt that Zhao Run's mind was too soft.

"You don't have to always worry about Zhao Zhun, he is the one who wants to compete for the throne with you."

"I never thought of fighting with my second brother. The throne was originally his, and I couldn't compete with him," said Zhao Run.

As Zhao Run said that, she sat down on the chair in front of the window, lying on the windowsill, looking at the plum blossoms outside, and said, "Actually, my second brother is not what you think. He has a perverse personality and has suffered too much since childhood. Now my mother lives with him in Jerusalem artichoke. It is cold and cold there. I heard that there are only two seasons a year, and the summer is surprisingly short. My second brother is diligent and gets up to practice troops before dawn every day, and the frostbite on his hands is not healed."

When Chen Zui was watching "Million-Million Soldiers", he loved these royal secrets. When Zhao Run talked about Empress Dowager Yao Yuanying, he immediately became energetic and asked, "How long has it been since you met them?"

"When my second brother went to Jerry Arti Island, I was only sixteen years old. My mother went when I was eighteen. Now I am twenty-four years old." When talking about them, Zhao Run's tone was a little sad. The purple-red crape myrtle flowers on his body made his skin look whiter. Although his facial features were not delicate, his skin was extremely bright and clean, like jade. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty doesn't like me to interact with them. Over the years, I have only secretly passed the letter, and the phone was beyond the sea."

Regarding the Yao family and his son, there is a story in the novel that when Yao Yuanying was pregnant with Zhao Zhun, during the Jerusalem Artichoke War, the late emperor personally fought for Jerusalem Artichoke Island, and Yao Yuanying, who was still the queen, stayed in the palace. However, at that time, it was reported that she had an extramarital affair with a military officer, and the rumors were full of controversy.

Therefore, many people suspect that Zhao Zhun is not the biological flesh and blood of the late emperor, so the emperor and the empress are also disunited.

Yao Yuanying was the queen and gave birth to two sons, Zhao Zhun and Zhao Run. Zhao Jin was not her son. He never liked this stepmother, and he didn't like this half-brother who had an innocence. Later, the late emperor passed away and Zhao Jin inherited the throne, so he drove Zhao Zhun to Jerusalem Arto Island. After Zhao Run became an adult, Yao Yuanying invited him to Jerusalem Arto, and never came back.

However, Zhao Zhun was able to rise up because of the place of Jerusalem artichoke. Because this place was the most unstable state in the Baihua Federation, it stationed countless troops. Later, in order to restrain Yu Huaiyong, Zhao Jin acquiesced Zhao Zhun's behavior of increasing troops. Jerusalem artichoke was bitter and the people were warlike, and the military strength should not be underestimated.

"I haven't seen each other for so many years, he may no longer be the second brother you know." Chen Zui held his cheek and reached out to play with the Yishou warship model on the table: "I heard that he is a rude person, has strict military laws, and is easy to kill."

Zhao Run must have heard of these rumors, so when he heard him say this, he didn't say anything. He was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know if he is still afraid of the dark."

He said, looking back and smiled, "When my second brother was young, my father didn't like him. He was naughty and often caused trouble. My father asked someone to lock him in a dark room. Do you know that kind of room? It's the right-hand utility room on the Baihua Palace. When the door is closed, there is no light at all. He is particularly afraid of the darkness, and I secretly sent him candles several times. He couldn't turn off the lights when he went to bed, because he was afraid of the darkness."

Chen Zui has not been able to fully immerse himself in the role of Queen Chen, with a little bit of a reader's scrutiny perspective. From his perspective, the more he listens to Zhao Run talking about these, the more he feels that this is laying the foundation for the future love and killing of brothers. Zhao Zhun and Zhao Run will probably be bound to be bloody in the future.

It's both cruel and sensual.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Chen Zui turned around and replied: "Come in."

Qiuhua pushed the door and stood at the door with his hands down, saying, "Your Highness, the fencing suit you want is ready."

Zhao Run was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then heard Chen Zui stand up with a smile: "Go together?"

"You want to learn fencing?"

"Didn't you list fencing, horse riding, shooting and hunting as four essential skills for men in the north? I, the queen from the south, have been here for more than half a year, and it's time to follow the customs."

Zhao Run followed him to the fencing field and met Yu Huaiyong on the way. He heard that Chen Zui was going to learn fencing, so he followed him.

This is a royal fencing field in the Little Rose Palace. The venue is very large. Xiao Wenyuan, Yu Cheng and others are already waiting for them in the fencing field. Perhaps there is no entertainment in the palace, and the old prince and the royal relatives are also there.

The queen fencing, they all want to watch the fun.

To learn this first, Chen Zui has his own plans.

He wants to find a good start.

"Your Highness is from the south. You have never learned this. You must pay attention when you take action later." Xiao Wenyuan was still instructing Yu Cheng.

Yu Huaiyong sat on the chair next to him, crossed his legs and said, "Your Highness, I heard that these things are not popular in the south of you, will you?"

"You'll know when you see it later?"

Qiu Hua stood behind him with a few swords in his arms. He looked back and saw that Qiu Hua was holding a wooden sword in his arms.

"Try the bamboo sword first." Yu Cheng said with the bandage wrapped around his hand.

Chen Zui took the bamboo sword into his hand and found that the bamboo sword was not as good as he could. He played with it in his hand and heard Yu Cheng introduce the general etiquette and rules to him, which was similar to what he knew. He put on a mask, held the sword handle in both hands, and said, "Come on it directly."

As he said that, he greeted Yu Cheng with his sword. The two swords were combined together and touched them three times, and then separated. He saw that Yu Cheng was not wearing a mask and holding the sword in one hand. He obviously did not take him, the weak queen from the south, and smiled coldly in his heart. He took a step back with his left foot and stomped on the wooden floor. The thunder was a thrust, and a "defying" sounded on Yu Cheng's sword handle.

Yu Cheng is worthy of being a master of fencing. When the incident happened suddenly, he still reacted in time. After avoiding the fatal blow, he stretched out his long arm and directly hit Chen Zui's mask. Chen Zui was shocked and staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
