Because Ji Fan was seriously injured, Shen Qinglan did not send him back to the Shen Mansion, but kept him in the backyard of Jialan Residence.

At this time, Ji Fan was already awake, and Yuan Zi was taking care of him.

"Brother Yuanzi, how is Brother Ji?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Yuanzi put down the medicine bowl in his hand, got up and saluted, and said, "I will see the princess."

"Forget it, let's avoid these false courtesy." Shen Qinglan said.

Yuanzi glanced at Ji Fan and sighed: "Brother Ji is already awake, but he has been reluctant to talk."

Shen Qinglan got closer, looked at Ji Fan and said, "Brother Ji, don't worry, the Taoist priest of Zhongxing will heal your injury."

Ji Fan shook his head slightly, and said, "Princess, it's all because of my subordinates, who failed to complete their mission and failed to protect Miss Yan'er."

"Sisi knows that Brother Ji has done his best." After finishing speaking, Shen Qinglan looked at the Daoist of Zhongxing, and said, "Master Daoist, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay."

Daoist Zhong Xing sat down beside Ji Fan's bed, checked his injuries, and then began to diagnose his pulse.

Several other people waited quietly by the side, and Shen Qinglan didn't ask until the Taoist priest put Ji Fan's hand down.

"Master Zhongxing, is it possible for Brother Ji's body to recover?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Yes, but there is little hope." The head of the Central Bank replied.

"Then... what should we do?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"The most important thing now is not to allow his wounds to heal so quickly, so the poison of eternal sleep is also a good choice." Zhongxing Daoist said.

"The poison of eternal sleep? Is it the poison that the second lady suffered from at that time?" Yuanzi asked.

"That's right, Sister Shen wants to use the poison of eternal sleep to buy more time for treatment for Sister Yan'er and Brother Ji," Tao Guan'er said.

"Brother Ji, are you willing?" Shen Qinglan asked.

A gleam of light flashed in Ji Fan's eyes, and he was a little excited, he said quickly: "Of course! Princess, my subordinate is willing, and I don't want to become a waste."

"Whether Brother Ji has such martial arts or not, in my heart, Brother Ji is still a big brother worthy of respect." Shen Qinglan said.

Ji Fan shook his head, "Princess, please help me, as far as I am concerned, it is better to be dead than alive."

Shen Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Ji Fan must have thought so.Instead of letting him be depressed after recovery, it is better to use the poison of eternal sleep to see if there is any possibility of cure.

"Okay." Shen Qinglan nodded, and said again: "After using the poison of eternal sleep, I don't know how long it will take to wake you up. Brother Ji, do you have anything else to explain? Just tell me, I will definitely help you good."

"It's nothing, as you know, I've always been alone." Ji Fan said.

There was light snow in the capital, and before dusk, Zhao Shun came to the imperial study.

When Zhao Bai heard that Zhao Shun was coming, he didn't directly invite him in.

The king's servant glanced outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, the regent has been waiting for a long time."

"He still dares to come! Let him wait!" Zhao Bai said.

"Your Majesty, calm down and take care of your body." The king's servant said.

"If he didn't do these things, the queen mother is so good, how could she run to the court and embarrass me in public! There is also that Shen Qinglan, who caused such a big disaster, and I have to take care of them. Now this is the situation , I, the emperor, can't help him." Zhao Bai said.

"However, it's not good for you to leave the prince aside, so the queen mother will know about it, wouldn't she want to see a joke?" Wang's servant said.

Zhao Bai took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "Let him in."

"Yes."

The king's servant winked at the inner officer at the door, and the inner officer immediately understood, and invited Zhao Shun in when he went out.

"Minister Zhao Shun, see Your Majesty."

Zhao Shun clasped his fists and saluted, his tone was very flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

"Brother Wang, I don't know what's important to come to the imperial study today?" Zhao Bai asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why Your Majesty wants to temporarily dismiss the position of minister?" Zhao Shun said.

Zhao Bai frowned slightly, "Is the regent questioning me?"

"I don't dare, I just have doubts in my heart." Zhao Shun said.

"This matter was originally decided by the empress dowager, not my original intention. But brother Wang, there is no need to worry. When the matter of Xia Guo's rebels is found out, I will definitely give brother Wang justice." Zhao Bai said.

"Your Majesty, just based on Yu Shitai's one-sided words, His Majesty believes that Li Zizhe has the intention of treason? Li Zizhe has been in the Shen residence for so long, and he has never committed any act of treason. Yu Shitai is clearly making a fuss out of nothing!" Zhao Shun Shen Sheng said.

"It is true that Yu Shitai's actions are not humane, but they are also for the stability of our court, and I can't find any fault in planning for a rainy day. Is it possible that we have to make a big deal out of a small problem?" Zhao Bai said.

"What does this have to do with the position of the minister? Why did Zha Xia's traitor want to be dismissed from the position of the minister?" Zhao Shun asked again.

Zhao Bai was obviously a little impatient, and said: "You can ask the queen mother what the regent said, and ask why so many ministers suddenly signed a letter to let the queen mother listen to the government behind the curtain? Then what is this emperor? A three-year-old child? Because of these things, why haven't I been constrained? If you could solve these problems earlier, would so many things happen?"

"Your Majesty, this is clearly uninhibited talk! A subjugated prince who has no possibility of restoring the country? What's the problem?" Zhao Shun said.

"Whether there is a problem or not, the regent king has the final say in the past, because Li Zizhe's identity is rarely known. Now it doesn't matter if he has any problems. Regent king, you should go back first." Zhao Bai said, holding Played a memorial to the side.

"Your Majesty, I have been working hard for your Majesty's country, and I dare not slack off for half a day. Doesn't Your Majesty believe what I say?" Zhao Shun asked again.

Zhao Bai was about to dip his pen in ink, when he heard his words, the movements of his hands paused.

"The regent's words are serious, he's just temporarily dismissing the position." Zhao Bai said.

"I hope Your Majesty can clear up your grievances and seek justice." Zhao Shun said.

Zhao Bai didn't reply, he bowed his head and approved the notes.

"Minister, leave."

Zhao Shun clasped his fists in salute and left the imperial study room.

"Humph……"

The anger in Zhao Bai's heart could not be calmed down, and he threw away the pen in his hand.

"Your Majesty calm down." The king's servant said.

"I originally thought that the regent had meritorious service to my country and was loyal to me, but I didn't expect that he would not understand my difficulties at all. He clearly relied on his own merits, so he ignored me." Zhao Bai said .

"Your Majesty, the regent is your minister. If you are divorced from the regent because of this matter, wouldn't it be in the arms of the empress dowager? The empress dowager really wants you and your ministers to be at odds." The king's servant persuaded.

Zhao Bai raised the corners of his lips, "Now that I am sitting firmly in the country, even if the empress dowager has some dissatisfaction, what can I do with me? Without Zhao Shun, I am still the emperor, and no one can change it."

"Your Majesty, what did the regent say? He is also the empress dowager's nephew, and his blood is thicker than water. The servant is worried that the regent will stand on the queen mother's side because of this. Wouldn't it be difficult for your majesty to resist? Your majesty, don't make a small mistake. Big, the gain outweighs the loss." Wang's servant said again.

Zhao Bai picked up the memorials on the table, threw them all on the ground, and said, "I, the emperor, was originally coerced by the regent, but now...he is still coerced by him."

The king's servant picked up a letter from the memorial on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is what everyone expects. Only Your Majesty can protect the lands and mountains laid down by the ancestors of the Zhao family."

Zhao Bai sneered, his eyes gradually became firm, "Yes, I am no longer the Fifth Highness of the past, I am the emperor of the world."
