Chapter 256
Because the emperor's health is not good, Kyoto seems much quieter this winter than in previous years.
However, there was an undercurrent in the court, and many people had different thoughts.
The sixth prince's momentum gradually became stronger. After all, no prince can be called his opponent except him. He is either young or has made no achievements.
Many people speculate that once something happens to the emperor, most of the people who will eventually inherit the throne will be the Sixth Prince.
Even the people in the harem keenly smelled the unusual meaning, and with the secret instructions of the sixth prince, many palace maids and eunuchs quietly ran to the cold palace to please the former concubines.
Although the imperial concubine was demoted, her house was still very comfortable.
The bed was made of silk brocade, and the thick cotton mattress was laid several layers. It was cold, and the house was burned with fine silver wire carbon, with almost no smoke. Many concubines who were not favored in the palace could not even use this good thing.
Although the three meals on weekdays are not as exquisite as before, they are also made of meat and vegetables, as well as daily snacks, which made the others in the cold palace stunned. They had never seen any concubine who could live so well when they came to the cold palace.
The imperial concubine was very proud and often ran to the queen to show off: "Please beg me, I will give you a plate of food."
Although the queen was so jealous that she was crazy, she was arrogant since childhood and could not let go of her figure. She watched the imperial concubine cry and drink in the cold palace, and sneered in her heart.
She didn't believe that the trash of the Sixth Prince could ascend the throne.
Let’s see when will the imperial concubine be able to be proud?
As the winter weather gets colder, the emperor's face looks like a layer of blue gray, as if he can't stand it anytime, and many political affairs are handed over to the hands of the Sixth Prince.
As life goes by, the sixth prince Si Mingxuan is becoming more and more proud.
The border was unstable, and the Dayue Kingdom raised trouble several times. Although it did not cause war, the relationship between the two countries was once very tense. Especially after hearing about the emperor's illness, the Dayue Kingdom was even more ready to move, but due to Xiao Jue and Old General Han, he did not launch an attack for a long time.
At this critical moment, Si Moli was assigned to the border to inspect military information and stabilize military morale.
Many people understand that this matter must have been secretly operated by the Sixth Prince, so that once the emperor dies, he can grasp the overall situation immediately and control Kyoto in his own hands.
In order to avoid the limelight, Shen Qingyun almost stopped going out. He was also a little worried for a while when he heard about this.
But Si Moli went to the Duke's Mansion to comfort her: "Don't worry, I will protect my own safety. When I go this time, I will help you see the environment there and ask you to rest assured. If you have any of your wishes to bring me to your mother and General Han, I will hand it over to me in the past two days, and I will hand it to them in person."
Shen Qingyun felt warm and said softly: "I have given it on weekdays. But you are far away. It's at least two months to go back and forth. You must take good care of yourself."
Si Moli saw Shen Qingyun worried about him and laughed unconsciously. The two of them said something for a while. Before leaving, he couldn't help but reminded: "I'm leaving. I guess they have no intention of targeting you at such a moment, but being careful is the best. You must not leave anyone around you on weekdays!"
