Five days later, Brother Xuan could eat and drink normally. Although he had lost a lot of weight, the little guy had long forgotten the pain a while ago and continued to jump around every day.

The couple of King Huai came to Zhuang’s Mansion with Brother Xuan.

Xu Roujia and Zhou Qi welcomed them together and sent someone to invite Doctor Zhao.

That night, Zhou Qi told Xu Roujia about the passage when she came back. Xu Roujia felt that hiding the source of the prescription was better. She just wanted to save Brother Xuan, and just wanted the King of Huai and his wife to be grateful to Zhou Qi. Nothing else mattered.

Zhou Qi looked cold and could not be the one who could chat with the guests at first glance. Xu Roujia took on the rapport to entertain guests. Seeing Brother Xuan sitting in Princess Huai’s arms, her big eyes were circling and full of energy, Xu Roujia asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, has Brother Xuan enjoyed eating recently?"

Princess Huai smiled and said, "It's fragrant, it's even better than before."

Xu Roujia smiled and reached out to Brother Xuan, looking at the little guy who asked her to hug her.

Brother Xuan immediately leaned towards her, as if he liked his aunt very much.

But Xu Roujia was full of belly, and Princess Huai didn't dare to let her son make trouble in Xu Roujia's arms.

Touching his son's head, Princess Huai sincerely said to Zhou Qi, Xu Roujia and the other two: "Thank you for your fourth brother and sister for saving your life. I won't say anything. In short, if you need any help from the fourth brother and sister in the future, I will repay your favor even if I go through fire and water."

Zhou Qi said calmly: "Sister-in-law, you are polite."

Xu Roujia also said: "Brother Xuan is our nephew. As elders, the prince and I should have helped. Sister-in-law should not say that."

It just so happened that Brother Xuan looked up at his mother and met his son's thin little face. Princess Huai's eyes were sore and tears fell down.

No one knew how she was in those two days. I'm afraid she didn't even know her husband. Her son was her life. If something really happened to her son, she wouldn't want to live anymore.

She lowered her head to wipe her tears, and King Huai gently patted his wife's shoulder, looked at Zhou Qi and said, "Second, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."

Men don’t talk much, but King Huai remembers this favor.

Zhou Qi is still polite.

The couple Huai sat for a while before saying goodbye.

After seeing off the family of three, Xu Roujia breathed a sigh of relief. She had done everything she could. When competing for the throne in the future, it depends on whether Prince Huai will remember her grace today.

"Before the child is born, you are not allowed to worry about anything." Zhou Qi solemnly asked, holding Xu Roujia back to the room.

Xu Roujia deliberately pretended to be obedient and bowed his knees: "What the prince taught me is that I must remember it."

However, as soon as her knees were bent slightly, Zhou Qi stopped her and looked at her disapprovingly.

Xu Roujia smiled happily.

In the palace, Emperor Yongjia had already known that the reason why Brother Xuan was able to save him was entirely due to the fourth brother.

When Emperor Yongjia first heard the news, he was really surprised.

The fourth brother usually seems to be disagreeing with relatives, but he didn't expect to be so righteous at the critical moment. He would rather save Xuan Ge'er at the risk of being hated by King Huai and being disliked by his father. Born in the royal family, Emperor Yongjia had never felt this kind of emotion in his brothers and sisters, and he had never heard of the ancestors who had treated those half-brothers like this in his ancestors.

"The fourth brother is a good child." At night, Emperor Yongjia hugged Lu and suddenly sighed.

Mrs. Lu was almost asleep, and she subconsciously hummed after hearing this: "Of course, I didn't see who her son it was."

Emperor Yongjia looked down and saw that Lu was sleeping like a pig, he shook his head helplessly.

With such a biological mother, the fourth brother was able to grow up to be both civil and military, and both moral and talented, because he, his father, had a good education.

In fact, if there is someone who is appointed as the crown prince, Emperor Yongjia has long been chosen.

The five sons are romantic, the third one is sinister and vicious, the fifth one is too young, so he can only choose one from the eldest one and the fourth one.

According to Emperor Yongjia’s observations over the years, the boss was too thorough in his actions and did not want to offend anyone. He wanted everyone to praise him as a good person. A man with this personality might be able to be a virtuous minister, but it is absolutely inappropriate to be an emperor. The emperor, the master of a thousand miles of country, must have a domineering attitude of being the only one.

The fourth brother is very good. He is as restrained as a mountain when he should be steady and as fierce as a fire when he should be burst. At the same time, he also values ​​affection and righteousness, and is not violent.

Emperor Yongjia felt that sooner or later he would be the crown prince, and the queen would be the title later. Perhaps the eldest son would complain that he was partial, and the court officials who supported King Huai would also bring out a lot of big reasons to advise. It would be better to directly confer the title of the fourth son while the boss was grateful to the fourth son. Even if the boss was not convinced, it would not be easy to show it on the surface. The court officials opposed it, and he would praise the fourth son with a kindness, which would block their mouths.

The seal is to be sealed, and how to seal it must be planned well.

A few days later, when Xu Roujia entered the palace to talk to her grandmother, she suddenly received news that her uncle Emperor Yongjia fainted!

Xu Roujia's face changed drastically!

How is it possible? My uncle was indeed injured this year in his previous life and passed away soon, but that happened when my uncle went hunting in August. It is only the first month of the year, so why is my uncle sick?

The empress dowager was also very anxious and asked Xu Roujia to go back to the house to rest first, and she went to visit her son in person.

Emperor Yongjia was lying on the bed, looking pretty good.

The imperial physician bent down and explained: "When I go back to the empress dowager, the emperor has been worried about the condition of the emperor Changsun recently, and he is unable to sleep or eat, and his qi and blood are weak. Today, he suddenly got up after sitting for a long time, which led to a coma. It is no longer a serious problem. As long as the emperor pays attention to recuperation in the future, he should not commit any further."

The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside the bed to persuade the emperor's son: "I heard that, I'm old, don't worry my mother anymore."

Emperor Yongjia said ashamed.

Xu Roujia learned that her uncle was just dizzy, and finally felt relieved. The rest, she stopped her when she waited for the August Autumn hunting, which should prevent her uncle from being seriously injured and dying young.

Xu Roujia was relieved, all the civil and military officials were worried. The crown prince had not yet established. What if Emperor Yongjia fainted one day and could not be rescued again?

Therefore, as soon as the morning court resumed after the Lantern Festival, the ministers filed a letter to Emperor Yongjia to establish a crown prince.

Emperor Yongjia wandered for a few days and consulted several important officials. Finally, he made a decision. In the morning, the emperor issued an order to confer the fourth son of the emperor, King Zhuang as the crown prince, and the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial Heavenly Prison to hold the enthronement ceremony.

The four princes, King Huai, King Ning, King Jing and King Zhuang, were confused, and the civil and military officials behind them were also confused.

Although King Zhuang has always been a popular candidate, he really decided to be the crown prince like this?

"Your Highness, your prince, haven't you accepted the order?"

The hall was filled with whispers, and the eunuch suddenly reminded him.

Zhou Qi came back to his senses, immediately knelt down, took the imperial edict with both hands, and then kowtowed to the man on the dragon throne: "My son thanks for his father's kindness."

Emperor Yongjia smiled and swept his phoenix eyes towards his eldest son.

Even though King Huai had countless complex emotions, he could only force himself to laugh, and was the first to kneel down, shouting loudly: "Father is wise!"

As he took the lead, the court officials who had already supported Zhou Qi knelt down one after another.

The unhappy supporter of King Huai was no longer happy, and the tough guy who was not afraid of angering Emperor Yongjia stood up and objected, with the reason that he had no choice but to be the chief.

Emperor Yongjia asked King Huai directly: "King Huai, what do you think?"

What can King Huai say?

He could only remind the confidant minister seriously that the candidate for the crown prince is the most important thing.

Now, Emperor Yongjia didn't have to worry about his lips and tongue, and directly blocked everyone's mouths.

.

After leaving the court, King Huai said to Zhou Qi with a complicated smile: "Congratulations to the prince."

If I had known that Zhou Qi would have won the favor of his father after offering a prescription, or that he would have given his father a legitimate reason to favor the fourth brother, Wang Huai would rather...

Would you rather not use the fourth son’s prescription and then watch his seven-month-old son die in pain?

King Huai's expression turned dim.

No, he wants his son to live well. Maybe he will regret it in a few years or more, but now, between his son and the throne, King Huai chooses his son.

After figuring it out, King Huai patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder heavily, and the smile in his eyes became a little sincere: "Do it well, don't let your father down."

Zhou Qi nodded.

King Huai turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Zhou Qi suddenly thought of Xu Roujia.

Of course he wanted to be the crown prince and the future emperor, but Zhou Qi did not expect that the position of crown prince would come so quickly and so easily.

It was because Xu Roujia insisted on saving Brother Xuan, and his father counted all the credit on him, right?
