After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 91 Seriously ill
A total of twelve unidentified people were seized around the capital.

Li Yanzhao flew a pigeon to send a letter to the palace in the capital, asking about the current situation in the capital.

Something must have happened when Donggong rashly attacked him this time.

Li Yanzhao summoned Ayan and Li Chang on the second day and prepared to go to the Dufu Teahouse for tea.

Without him, it would take some time for Fei Ge to pass the message. He wanted to find out some information in a place closest to life, and the teahouse was the most suitable place.

Early in the morning, several people arrived at the largest teahouse in the capital and sat in the lobby on the second floor.

On the stage on the first floor, the actors were singing songs, and cheers erupted from time to time under the stage.

Li Yanzhao was wearing a crescent white wide-sleeved robe today and shook an obsidian folding fan. The dark brown fan pendant swayed with his movements.

Ayan was still wearing plain linen clothes, and she was staring at the stage expressionlessly.

"This play is called Farewell My Concubine, and it tells the love story of King Chu Bawang and his concubine Yu Ji!"

Listening to Li Yanzhao's explanation, Ayan remained silent. There was a stage in the teahouse, which was a very unique combination.

In the past, if I went to a teahouse for some entertainment, I would sing some Yangzhou tunes or Suzhou Pingtan.

Singing opera this early in the morning is equivalent to eating elbows in the morning, a hard dish.

"My lord."

This time the few people went out for a private visit incognito, and their identities were not revealed.

"Young Master is really well-informed. I didn't expect that you also know a lot about opera!"

Li Yanzhao increased the movement of the fan. In the weather in March, the wind from the fan still felt a little cool on his body.

"I don't even know that I know him. The King of Chu is a great hero of his generation. I respect him!"

Ayan didn't know whether it was possible or not. This was equivalent to saying that she was interested in cooking but couldn't move after seeing the secret recipe.

There were more and more people in the teahouse, and when they were just enjoying the opera, some people began to gossip.

"Have you heard? There's something going on in the capital!"

The tea cup in Li Chang's hand fell and wet his sleeves. Li Yanzhao glanced at him with squinting eyes.

Something happened in the capital!
"What's the matter? What news do you know, Wang Laosan?"

Wang Laosan is a caravan who often travels in the capital and Bashu land. He is well-informed and well-informed.

Seeing that everyone else's attention was on him, Wang Laosan smiled softly.

"I heard that the emperor is critically ill and the doctors are helpless!"

The folding fan in Li Yanzhao's hand closed at some point, and he drank tea one sip after another.

He seemed to be nonchalant about the news, but the white fingers that clenched the tea cup tightly betrayed him.

Something happened to the emperor, why didn't he know the news?
There was no news from the capital either.

Li Yanzhao thought carefully about the reason.

He absolutely trusts the people in the prince's palace, otherwise he would not keep them in the capital to take care of them.

Since the traveling caravans all knew about it, the palace must have known about it.

As long as the people in the palace know the news, they will definitely find ways to convey the news.

At this time, he did not receive the news, which means that someone secretly blocked the news. The carrier pigeon he sent to the capital must have been intercepted!
That's why the man in the East Palace sent a killer unscrupulously to assassinate Li Yanzhao.

The people at Wang Laosan's table sighed, and then started talking about the crown prince.

"The prince's talents and prestige are not outstanding. If we say that the one who is most qualified to take on this important task is our Zhennan General, His Highness King Qi!"

The tea in the tea cup overflowed, and Li Yanzhao seemed to have no feeling, and he took a small peck on his lips.

"Of course, our Zhennan General has earned his military merits by himself!"

"Who is that person in the East Palace? Isn't he just a good relative?"

"Shh!" Wang Laosan said loudly. He turned his head cautiously and looked to the side, and found that no one else noticed their conversation. "How can we ordinary people like us discuss the matter of the crown prince?"

"Be careful if someone listens to you, you may lose your head!"

Everyone was silent for a long time before paying attention to the stage.

Li Chang carefully observed Li Yanzhao's expression. After following him for so many years, he naturally knew that he was depressed at this time.

He was afraid that someone who wasn't paying attention would become his punching bag.

But Li Chang couldn't bear to see Li Yanzhao's appearance as if his soul had been taken away.

The father-son relationship between Li Yanzhao and the emperor has been extraordinary since he was a child. It seems to be the most ordinary father-son relationship.

It is really special to be in this imperial family full of suspicion, coldness and ruthlessness.

Even Ayan could see that Li Yanzhao was restless at this time, and she raised her eyes and cast a questioning look at Li Chang.

Li Chang saw that she had ulterior motives and shook his head, telling her not to think too much.

Ayan nodded, meaning she understood.

"Since when did you have such a tacit understanding?"

Li Yanzhao Qingling Ling's voice was devoid of any emotion as he continued.

"If you want to talk, just talk, why are you being dumb?"

Ayan turned her face away and pretended to look towards the stage. Wasn't she afraid that you would think too much?

Military generals could not enter the capital unless summoned. Li Chang asked in a low voice in Li Yanzhao's ear.

"Your Majesty, why don't we secretly return to the capital to see what's going on!"

He was well aware of Li Yanzhao's rule-abiding and meticulous character, so he repeated it again.

"Let's keep it secret and make sure no one finds out!"

"No!"

Li Yanzhao shouted sternly: "The rules are the rules. If you didn't call me back to Beijing to take care of the illness, it means that my father's illness is not so serious!"

"Let's wait until Fei Ge comes back from delivering the message!"

In the capital, the imperial city was heavily guarded, and the prince and queen were waiting at the Baohua Hall.

Hong Deshun, the chief eunuch, was in tears
Standing beside the dragon's bed, he looked at Li Guoli on the bed worriedly.

Li Guoli has been seriously ill these past few days, and the bright yellow bedding and bed tents make his complexion sallow.

High cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and being in a coma for several days, he was already terminally ill!
"Mother, please go and rest, there are children here!"

The prince's eyes were full of worry, "Father, I won't wake up for a while!"

The queen glanced at Hong Deshun next to her with her peripheral vision, and found that his expression was normal, so she felt relieved.

"Forget it, don't be too sad, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will live as long as Heaven, and you will definitely be able to overcome these difficulties!"

After the queen left, the prince's attitude was full of respect, "Eunuch Hong, you can also go and have a rest. I will leave this place to you!"

Hong Deshun has been following the emperor since he was a child. At that time, the emperor was still an unpopular little prince. The emperor and the eldest princess grew up dependent on each other.

The prince naturally treated him with respect.

Hong Deshun moved his waist slightly and bowed to the prince: "Old slave, thank you for your concern."

"It's just that I'm afraid that the emperor will wake up and want to drink a cup of hot tea. Those little brats under his hands are all weak, and I'm afraid that the emperor won't be able to get used to it!"

A glint flashed in the prince's eyes, which quickly disappeared, and his tone became more respectful.

"Then there's Eunuch Laohong!"

"I don't dare, this is my responsibility!"
