Xiao Yu didn't know if he had fallen asleep just now, but it was the thunder that shook his whole body.
He looked beyond Xiao Wei and looked directly at the window edge on the wall. There was a strong wind outside the palace, and the flying sand and rocks hit the window paper with a rustling sound. The sky was flickering, which seemed to indicate a heavy rain. coming soon.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Xiao Wei stared at Xiao Yu, his words seemed threatening.
"I heard, you want to be the emperor." Xiao Yu replied lightly.
"It's not that, it's that if you become the emperor, no, you can't become the emperor, but if the emperor gives you the position of crown prince, then the disaster of the entire Jiankang Palace will come."
"You mean to ask me to withdraw from the fight for the throne?"
"You are not smart enough to begin with, and you will not be stable in that position. Sooner or later, you will be kicked out, and maybe your head will be missing. How about..." Xiao Wei thought for a while, "What if The emperor insists on passing the throne to you, but you refuse to accept it."
"That is against the holy will." Xiao Yu interrupted.
"Be obedient and finish what you said!" Xiao Wei said angrily, "You can't be the emperor no matter what. Let me do it. I will become a good emperor. Good emperors rule the world with benevolence and filial piety. In that case, I will not kill you. I will use A good reason to pardon you will also ensure that you will be wealthy for a lifetime, so that you have endless money to squander without having to worry about political affairs."
Xiao Yu thought for a moment: "It sounds good."
"Then you and I have made an agreement. When the time comes, I will expand King Jiangxia's fiefdom to three counties. What do you think?"
Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Yu expectantly, hoping to get his verbal commitment. In his eyes, although the prince of Jiangxia was good-looking, he looked like he was not smart no matter how he looked at it.
As long as he becomes emperor, the original verbal promise will no longer count. What he wants to do with him at that time is not his decision.
Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't speak, Xiao Wei asked:
"How about it, idiot?"
"I have never been an emperor. I also want to be an emperor. If you don't like it, I will give it to you."
Xiao Wei's lungs were almost bursting with anger: "What are you talking about? The emperor can't be such a childish person."
Xiao Yu, however, looked confused, giving people the illusion that humans and animals were harmless.
He explained: "I have no child's play. I am also thinking about you. I am afraid that you will work hard. I can also give you endless gold and silver. I have decided that if I become the emperor, I will take over the Huainan Kingdom." The fiefdom has been increased to four counties, one more than what you promised me. I must be more sincere than you!"
Xiao Wei was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
He breathed heavily for a while, and then looked at Xiao Yu, who was sitting opposite him. He suddenly laughed out of anger.
Only a fool can say stupid things. A normal person would not use this kind of thinking to negotiate conditions with him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wei psychologically didn't take Xiao Yu seriously anymore.
No matter who Xiao Yuheng replaced the throne before his death, the final winner could only be a smart man, and that was Xiao Wei, the King of Huainan.
And in order to be foolproof tonight, he also got through many generals of the imperial guards in advance, which was all due to his wide range of friends.
If Xiao Yuheng ascends to heaven, they will take control of Jiankang Palace and clear all obstacles for him to become emperor, even if they kill all the officials and the harem.
He hoped it was the former. He didn't like the color of blood, which made him feel dirty and disgusting. At the same time, he didn't want the rare treasures in the palace that originally belonged to him to become playthings in the hands of others.
Thinking that he was about to succeed, Xiao Wei couldn't help but have a greedy smile on his lips.
Xiao Yu didn't look at his cousin who was in delusion. He leaned half of his body against the table and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
But in his mind, he kept repeating what Xiao Huangmen Zhao Jicheng had half said to him.
"Young prince, please be extremely careful, don't be like King Huainan..."
Seeing Xiao Wei's arrogant and high-profile look, Xiao Yu seemed to understand something.
Suddenly he heard a soft "bang" sound, as if something moved and fell to the ground.
He slowly opened his eyes and happened to see Xiao Wei bending down to pick up a celadon vial.
Xiao Wei saw Xiao Yu looking at him with an unnatural expression, his nose twitched unconsciously, and he quickly put the vial into his arms.
Xiao Yu was puzzled, but immediately met Xiao Wei's fierce expression.
"What are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything."
"You know I'm taking Five Stone Powder?"
Xiao Yu didn't think about it at all. Xiao Wei said it himself.
At the same time, he also felt frightened. He never expected that in the emperor's chamber, waiting for the summons, Xiao Wei would dare to secretly take that poison.
Looking at Xiao Wei again, his face and neck were flushed and his face was hot. He kept pulling on his collar to dissipate heat.
He suddenly stood up again, his feet became weak, and his body's coordination seemed to become very poor. He was seen staggering towards Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu stepped back, deliberately avoiding it, but Xiao Wei still brought his face up, and an indescribable strange medicinal smell rushed towards him.
Xiao Wei was a little slurred in speech and stared at Xiao Yu with a half-smile.
"You...are you laughing at me?"
"I don't."
"You are just laughing at me. You don't say it, but I can see what you think in your heart."
Xiao Yu frowned and saw Xiao Wei sniffing again. He looked drunk just now, but now his expression became fierce, and his eyes were so cold as to kill. He seemed to have entered a state of persecution and delusion. This made Xiao Yu feel a chill in his back.
If Xiao Wei was handed a dagger now, he would definitely dare to stab his cousin several times until he sent his cousin back to his throne.
But Xiao Yu should be lucky that there are no sharp weapons here.
But the lack of sharp weapons does not mean that the drug-addicted prince is not aggressive.
Before Xiao Wei made a move on him, Xiao Yu quickly stepped aside and used the small table next to him as a buffer zone to deal with Xiao Wei.
Xiao Yu was a little angry and said coldly: "When did you start taking Wushisan? I should throw you into an ice bucket to wake up!"
"Then I have to ask His Majesty, haha... He asked me to accompany him to take the medicine. Your Majesty can't... but I'm fine, I... I'm very awake and know what I'm doing and what I want."
Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly: "How long has it been, and you still dare to take Wu Shi Powder? You're going to die!"
Xiao Wei shook his head vigorously and blinked. It seemed that Xiao Yu could not see clearly, but his body was like crazy.
He suddenly raised his head: "What do you mean, you want my life? Even you want my life!"
Xiao Yu retreated to the corner and narrowed his eyes: "When will I want your life?"
"You said it!" Xiao Wei roared angrily, "My fate is up to me. If you want my life, then let's take your life to see if it's enough!"
Before Xiao Wei finished speaking, he pounced on Xiao Yu like a beast.
Xiao Yu was shocked. It was not that he couldn't defeat Xiao Wei, but the opponent's beast-like attack made him unable to react in time.
In desperation, he kicked Xiao Wei away.
But Xiao Wei seemed to be unaware of the pain and became violent again. He roared: "I want to be the emperor, and I want you to die!"
"If you become the emperor, our Daqi will be destroyed right before our eyes." Xiao Yu said coldly.
"I kill you!"
Xiao Wei roared and rushed back towards Xiao Yu again.
The voice was sharp, and the echo echoed throughout the eaves and columns of Hanzhang Hall.
The internal officials and maids on duty in the main hall were all shocked and inexplicable. Some high-ranking internal officials hurriedly ran to the emperor's bedroom.
Not long after, Xiao Yuwan, the eldest princess of Yongning, walked out of the emperor's bedroom with an angry look on her face. The wind blew under her feet and she hurried toward the noisy side room.
When some of the officials saw her, they followed her closely, while others hurriedly knelt on the ground, trembling all over and not daring to raise their heads for a long time.
The door to the side room opened, and Xiao Yuwan walked inside angrily. She saw the mess on the ground and two men fighting together.
Xiao Yuzheng had the advantage. He sat on Xiao Wei and raised his fist high.
"Okay! Stop messing around!" Xiao Yuwan scolded sternly.
Xiao Yu's raised fist hesitated for a long time before falling.
Xiao Wei seemed to have sobered up a lot after struggling like this. He straightened up half of his body, straightened his clothes a little, and looked sad.
"Princess, how is your majesty? When can I see your majesty?" Xiao Wei asked.
Xiao Yuwan looked at him with a look of disgust, but she quickly calmed down and glanced at the two people in front of her expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty has just woken up. I wonder if he has regained consciousness. While he is still awake, which one of you two will come first?"
