Chapter 197 Don't Know How to Cherish
Originally, the emperor's condition was not very serious, and he would get better if he took the medicine on time. But for some reason, the emperor did not go as expected after taking the medicine.
The symptoms improved, but on the contrary, the emperor's condition became more and more serious. He often coughed and woke up in the middle of the night, as if he was dreaming about something.
During these days, the Sixth Prince was quite diligent when he came here. He came to the Emperor right after school. He didn’t have much else to do, he just talked to the Emperor.
At the same time, the fifth prince was in contact with those who supported him in the court and maintained close relationships with these people every day. The fifth prince had already sensed the right opportunity.
The fifth prince knew that his father was seriously ill and his health was getting worse every year, so he must have decided to establish the heir apparent as soon as possible.
In the Chuxiu Palace, the fifth prince and Concubine Jia sat across from each other. Cui Xiu never spoke, and half of the chess pieces on the chessboard had been moved.
Cui Xiucai spoke slowly, looking at the fifth prince and said: "Your father is seriously ill, have you ever visited him?"
"Recently, I heard that the sixth prince is often here. Your father is serving at your side.”
Cui Xiu deliberately revealed this matter to the fifth prince, but the fifth prince who heard this did not show the reaction that Cui Xiu expected. On the contrary, he was very angry. care.
"If Xiaoliu is willing to serve, ask him to serve. Anyway, there are always people around my father."
"It's just that my father is seriously ill now, maybe one day"
The fifth prince said with his hands His movements stopped, his eyes looked at the chessboard, and then he slowly said: "Why did the mother-in-law think of him?"
Although the fifth prince believed in his biological mother, Concubine Jia, Cui Xiu had previously Being so close to that place makes it hard not to feel wary.
When Cui Xiu heard what the fifth prince said, she suddenly made a sharp turn and put the problem on him. She didn't show anything wrong, she just played chess normally.
Cui Xiu could feel the gaze from not far away, which was like the scorching sun, making it impossible for his eyes to ignore.
Theoretically speaking, Cui Xiu's reaction to the fifth prince is understandable. After all, they all say that the fifth prince is the person most like His Majesty the Emperor.
Looking like an emperor is not a good thing in Cui Xiu's opinion, because Li Xiuhuai never does human affairs.
“Isn’t this anxious for you? Look at others, they are all in front of your father, serving your father.”
“This time comes and goes, and the time goes by. It is inevitable that the emperor will be angry with you. The Sixth Prince has a good impression.”
"Don't you want to fight for that position? If you lose that position because of today's events, will you still be as calm and leisurely as you are today?"
Cui Xiujiang's words were quite thorough. He knew that the fifth prince had always had his own opinions, and even 10 cows couldn't pull him back from the things he believed in.
In the past, the fifth prince used to make a lot of sense of presence in front of the emperor, but as he got older, for some unknown reason, the fifth prince had less contact with the emperor.
Cui Xiu thinks it may be because he is too proud and he is too eager to sit in that position. Although he has not experienced it yet, he has witnessed everything he enjoys crazily. .
This kind of treatment is not available to everyone.
"Concubine, what you said is absolutely true."
"As you said, are you going to go in front of the emperor now? And then, like Xiao Liu, make a presence in front of the emperor?"
< br>The fifth prince said, but there was a tone of disbelief in his words. It was obvious that she did not agree with Cui Xiu's words, so there was some less obvious but very obvious "yin and yang" in what he said.
Cui Xiu didn't take this seriously. Since the fifth prince himself didn't want to go, he shouldn't blame others for grabbing it if he missed something.
Cui Xiu felt more and more in his heart, how did this naughty kid become the emperor? He doesn't have the consciousness to be an emperor at all. I'm afraid that if he doesn't leave, he will be finished. But this is just Cui Xiu's imagination. As for the real scene, she has long forgotten it.
"Mom, it's not that I have to be so eccentric, it's just that I don't think I need to be like Xiao Liu."
"Xiao Liu is anxious now, so he Go to the Emperor Father to gain a sense of presence.”
“But I don’t have to. I have experienced a lot of presence in front of the Emperor Father over the years. Not only the Emperor Father, but also the Empress Dowager is very fond of her children. Love it.”
“It can be seen that all these efforts of Xiaoliu are just temporary.”
The fifth prince told Cui Xiu very clearly and confidently that he did not have to be like the sixth prince.
But the fifth prince was still too naive after all.
Actually, the fifth prince is not naive. In Cui Xiu's view, the fifth prince is too confident. He is a little too confident and always feels that he has been reduced to the throne and is in his pocket.
The emperor is indeed not in good health now, but he has not personally admitted that the prince is your fifth prince. You said that what you did in the past did give people some impression.
However, many times people only pay attention to who will accompany them when they are at their lowest point, rather than who will accompany them when they have nothing to do.
Now that the emperor is seriously ill, this is the time when someone needs to be with him. Sometimes he may also need to do some work of serving on the side. Although it will be a bit hard, it is still fulfilling his filial piety.
Besides, there are maids in the Yangxin Palace, so the sixth prince will not be allowed to actually serve the emperor.
The most the Sixth Prince did was chat with the Emperor, trying to relieve the Emperor's depression after being ill for many days.
But the fifth prince didn’t understand.
But even if the fifth prince understands, it is too late to go now. Even if the emperor sees that she is not yin and yang, she will not be as close to him as before.
After all, with new people here, who will remember the old people?
"Since you have such an idea, the mother-in-law will not say more."
"Just know it in your heart."
"Do whatever you want. Don't regret it, because there is no regret medicine in this world."
Cui Xiu finally gave a warning deliberately. This was a warning to her children as a "mother".
The fifth prince heard Cui Xiu's nagging. He didn't pay special attention and just dealt with it casually. He had everything ready now. As long as his father gave the order, the crown prince position would definitely be his.
Don’t even think about it.
The fifth prince has such confidence not because he is born with confidence, but because of his father and mother.
Smartness is smartness, and confidence is self-confidence.
After all, he had to pay back the money after he came out to fool around. In the end, the fifth prince chose to believe Cui Xiu's words for the time being, and he still went to the Yangxin Palace.
After all, this is the time to show your filial piety.
Although he has something to be busy with, no matter how busy he is, it is not as important as his father.
