Yang Qiuchi bowed and said, "The crown prince is the crown prince of the country and the future emperor. Of course, all gods will protect him. He will turn bad luck into good fortune and bring good fortune when he is in danger."

"Hmph! His body is so cool that he is so consummated with his tuberculosis. Oh-! I know, you are worried that once I become the prince, your life will be difficult. Hahaha, don't worry, although I have said that I will destroy your nine tribes, I will still stay with you two beautiful concubines. I will take care of them for you and take good care of them..." Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang looked at each other, laughing loudly.

Yang Qiuchi felt that the anger in his heart was about to burn to his head, and he had the urge to draw his gun and knocked the two bastards on their sand cups.

At this moment, the doorman who came inside to report came back and said to Yang Qiuchi: "Marty, the prince, please come in."

Yang Qiuchi turned around and left the living room, and the smug smiles of the two men came from behind.

Song Yuner and Nangong Xiong and the others were waiting outside just now, and they didn't know what was going on in the living room. At this moment, Yang Qiuchi rushed out angrily and asked hurriedly: "Brother, what's wrong? What's wrong?"

Yang Qiuchi gritted his teeth and whispered: "These two dog thieves are too bullying, so what can they be tolerated!"

Song Yun'er wanted to ask again, and Yang Qiuchi waved his hand and pulled her into the prince's inner mansion.

The Prince's Mansion is not much smaller than the inner courtyard of the palace. Under the leadership of the guards, they walked through pavilions, towers, and the Jiuqu corridor, and walked around for more than a day before they arrived at the Prince's bedroom.

The prince was leaning on the bed, his face pale and his eyes were closed tightly. He covered his heart with his right hand and gasped hard.

A teenager was beside the bed, holding the left hand of the prince Zhu Gaochi, and looking at the prince worriedly. Two imperial physicians sat on the stool beside the bed. One was taking the vein of the prince. Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner dared not disturb him, so they stood quietly.

The maid stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, Mr. Yang is here to see you."

After hearing this, the prince opened his eyes slightly, saw Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner, nodded, then closed his eyes in pain, and tightened his heart's robe.

Seeing his painful look, Yang Qiuchi didn't dare to mess with him. He just waited quietly.

After the imperial physician finished taking the pulse, he replaced another imperial physician to take the pulse and waited for a while. The two imperial physicians muttered something in a low voice. Then they prescribed a prescription, and asked the accompanying medicine boy who was carrying a large medicine box to take the medicine torture.

During this period, the prince kept gasping, closed his eyes tightly, and covered his heart with his hands. His expression was very painful.

Seeing this, Yang Qiuchi estimated that the prince had a cardiovascular system disease, which type of heart disease was. He could not explain clearly without diagnosis.

At this moment, a maid hurriedly came into the door and said, "Your Highness, the prince, the emperor is here to see you."

Then, a sound of footsteps came. Several eunuchs and palace maids entered the door, stood on both sides, and a eunuch sang loudly: "The Holy Lord is here -! Kneel to welcome!"

Yang Qiuchi and others hurriedly knelt down, and the child sitting beside the bed also knelt down. After a moment, Ming Chengzu's face turned gloomy and entered the room.

Ming Chengzu waved his hand, let them be green, walked to the child, and helped him up personally. The child burst into tears: "Grandpa Emperor, my father... wuwuwu"

Ming Chengzu caressed the child's head with affection: "Ji'er, don't worry, with Grandpa the Emperor here, your father will be fine."

Only then did Yang Qiuchi realize that this child was Zhu Zhanji, the eldest son of His Royal Highness. Seeing this, Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty loved his grandson very much.

Ming Chengzu nodded to Yang Qiuchi, saying hello, and then walked to the bed. Zhu Gaochi already knew that his father was coming and struggled to get up. Ming Chengzu pressed his shoulder and signaled him to lie down. He asked in a low voice: "Gaochi, how do you feel?"

Zhu Gaochi covered his heart and said with difficulty: "Thank you for your concern. My son feels heartbroken and feels so uncomfortable."

Ming Chengzu nodded, waved to the two imperial physicians, called them aside, and asked in a low voice: "How is the prince's condition?"

The two imperial physicians looked at each other, and one of them bowed: "Reported to the emperor, the prince's disease is 'heart numbness'. Like the symptoms of the previous attacks, it is all about deficiency of heart and spleen qi and blood, insufficient positive energy, wind, cold, dampness, and heat invade blood from the outside of the skin and fur, and the spleen is damp and unable to transport water, dampness and water qi surge into the heart and lungs, so chest tightness, palpitations, asthma, and swelling of lower limbs..."

Another imperial physician also bowed and said, "That's right, the prince's disease must replenish the heart and spleen, transform qi and promote water, drive wind and promote blood circulation and unblock the meridians. I have used Angelica, White Peony, Cinnamon Twig, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Qianghuo, Duhuo, and Poria..."

"Okay, okay, no need to mention that in detail, just talk about whether the prince's illness is important."

"After taking the medicine, life should be fine. However, the prince's disease suddenly occurred. Compared with the previous few times, the condition is becoming increasingly serious. Although I have prescribed the right medicine to relieve the pain, it is only..."

Ming Chengzu frowned: "It's just what?"

"I don't dare!" The two imperial physicians knelt down in panic.

"Forgive you for your sins, get up and say it."

"Thank you, the emperor." The two imperial physicians stood up, and one of the imperial physicians looked at the other physician. Seeing the other nodded, they said: "Report to the emperor, over the years, the prince's heart pain has occurred more than ten times, and it is more serious each time. There are no symptoms before the onset of the disease. The sudden onset of the disease is hard to prevent and cannot be predicted. Over the years, all imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital have consulted many times, but they have not found any effective way to completely cure the root. Therefore, the ministers are worried that one day in the future, the prince's condition will eventually worsen, and then..."

Ming Chengzu said heavily: "According to your diagnosis, how long does the prince still have?"

"This is difficult to judge, from three to five years to three to five months, it is possible. Of course, it is not ruled out that a miracle will happen, and the prince will be able to live a thousand years old..."

Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty hoped for miracles, but the cruel political struggle told him that he could not place his hope on miracles that fell from the sky. He had to be prepared. He nodded and returned to the bed with thoughts.

Although the Ming Chengzu talked lightly to the imperial physician, he was far away from the prince, but he was closer to Yang Qiuchi. In addition, he practiced martial arts hard with Liu Ruobing during this period. His ears grew stronger and stronger. Although his voice was small, he could barely hear them. After hearing the words of the two imperial physicians, he was shocked.

The prince is in serious condition, and the position of the prince is probably changed. Judging from the Ming Chengzu's love for the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, if the position of the prince is passed to the second prince for eight or eight, then he will be in trouble. It seems that his official position has ended and he is worried all day long. It is boring to think about his future as soon as possible and take advantage of the second prince's succession and not being able to do anything to him, hurry up and think about his own way out.

After leaving the prince's mansion and returning home, Yang Qiuchi summoned the girls together, told them about this, and said that he was worried.

The girls also felt a slump. Seeing that the battle between Yang Qiuchi and Ji Gang began to gain the upper hand, the prince was seriously ill. If he really wanted to change the prince, he would have to leave the road of the wrong place unless their Yang family rebelled.

The women discussed for a while, and the final idea was that, judging from this situation, the emperor would likely make a new decision on the crown prince in the near future. Once the emperor decided to transfer the crown prince to the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, there was no need to fight with Ji Gang and the others, and immediately began to prepare to sell the property and secretly escape overseas and live a free life.

Once you have an idea, you feel at ease.

The next morning court was before dawn, Yang Qiuchi came to the Jiuqing Room of the Imperial Palace by point and waited for the court. In ancient times, people rarely had entertainment at night, so they were used to going to bed early and getting up early, and usually went to bed at the first update. The so-called midnight update was actually at twelve o'clock. For the ancients, they had already had a sleep, and many of us modern people were still walking around for a leisurely time.

Xue Lu was particularly intimate when he saw Yang Qiuchi. He held his hand and sat down to chat. Yang Qiuchi made a big fuss in the North Town Fushi, the court and the Meridian Gate. The case of overthrowing the princess brother Yun Leng's murder case in front of the emperor was already spread in the capital. At that time, unlike now, there was too much news that he could pay attention to, so the news spread quickly and was shocked. Many officials also knew it. The backbone admired Yang Qiuchi and the officials from Yang Qiuchi came to chat with Yang Qiuchi. The officials who did not dare to mess with Ji Gang but admired him also smiled at Yang Qiuchi from afar. Ji Gang's best friends observed with a sinister face to see who were not afraid of death dared to fight against Ji Gang.

Governor Xue has agreed to advance and retreat with Yang Qiuchi. In the past two days, he also knew that Yang Qiuchi had begun to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Ji Gang, and was full of confidence in Yang Qiuchi, so he was having a lot of chatting and laughing with Yang Qiuchi at this moment.

At this moment, Ji Gangzhu walked in with a crutch, and the bureaucrats avoided him. Ji Gang saw Governor Xue and Yang Qiuchi laughing, his face darkened, and he snorted heavily in his nostrils. Governor Xue was slightly embarrassed on his face, and stood up and bowed to Ji Gang: "Mr. Ji, it's so early!"

Governor Xue was cautious by nature and was too concerned about him, so he did not dare to fight against Ji Gang. In fact, as the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, he was a super marquis and held heavy troops. He was also an important official of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. If he really wanted to fight against Ji Gang, it would not be necessary for anyone to fight against him. However, although he made up his mind to advance and retreat with Yang Qiuchi, he still did not dare to offend Ji Gang openly. Therefore, he still treated Ji Gang with courtesy.

Ji Gang seemed to have not seen him, walked to Yang Qiuchi, smiled gloomyly, and bowed: "Mr. Yang, are you doing it early?"

Yang Qiuchi returned a greeting: "Sir Ji!" and stopped talking.

Ji Gang glanced at Governor Xue next to him and continued, "Mr. Yang, I used to escort Lin Yuan to rape and kill Governor Xue's concubine and two maids. The emperor ordered you to execute him. When will you be executed? I am still waiting to collect his body."

Governor Xue was surprised and happy and asked, "Mr. Yang, it turns out that this case has been solved. It's great. Why didn't I listen to you just now?"

Yang Qiuchi didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't say that he had already acquitted Lin Yuan, so as not to alarm the enemy. This not only caused Ji Gang to hunt down Lin Yuan, who had not yet escaped, but also caused his vigilance, which would make things happen.

Yang Qiuchi said: "The emperor does have a saint's order, but it does not limit when the official will be executed. Moreover, this is my official's business, so it will not take any trouble to the Lord Ji."

Ji Gang frowned: "Mr. Yang, although the emperor has not limited your execution time, after all, Lord Xue is still waiting to avenge his concubine." He turned to Governor Xue and said: "I am right, right? Lord Xue."

Governor Xue smiled and said, "Yes. If the real murderer is found, I will of course hope to implement the real murderer as soon as possible and comfort my beloved concubine in heaven."

Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to say to Xue Lu: "Mr. Xue, there are still some details of this case that have not been found out, so I did not tell you that when the whole case is revealed, I will report it to Mr. Xue."

Ji Gang sneered: "Mr. Yang, don't be careless about us here. In fact, you have released Lin Yuan privately. Is this official right?"

Yang Qiuchi's heart sank. The news of Ji Gang was really well-versed. When Lin Yuan was released, only Song Yuner, Nangong Xiong, Xu Shiling and Shi Qiujian were present. He believed all four of them and could not leak the news. It must be that Lin Yuan was brought up for prison and had not been sent back. He did not go to another prison area for news, so he informed Ji Gang of the news, and Ji Gang immediately guessed that Lin Yuan was released by himself.

It seems that there is Ji Gang's eyeliner in the Nanzhen Fushi Prison or somewhere. It is no wonder that Ji Gang commanded the Jinyiwei for many years. Although he vigorously transformed the Nanzhen Fushi, he still did not eradicate all Ji Gang's eyeliner. These eyeliners are as numerous as cows and are hidden very deeply. If you want to completely eliminate them, there is only one way, that is, replace Ji Gang and become the commander himself.

Ji Gang smiled coldly and stopped talking.

Yang Qiuchi immediately knew that when he waited for a while, Ji Gang might be in trouble for himself. He was thinking about how to deal with it.

Governor Xue looked at Yang Qiuchi in confusion: "Mr. Yang, why did you release the real murderer?"

Ji Gang is very cunning and attempts to use this matter to divide his alliance with Governor Xue. At this point, Yang Qiuchi can only tell the truth to Xue Lu, otherwise he will lose his important ally. Besides, he can't hide it now. When he goes to court later, Ji Gang will definitely make a fuss about this matter. At that time, he also wants to explain the reason. It's better to talk about it now.

After thinking about it, Yang Qiuchi pulled Xue Lu to a distance and then whispered: "Mr. Xue, Lin Yuan is not the real murderer. The real murderer should be someone else. I am continuing to investigate. Ji Gang wants to use this matter to differentiate us, so we can't be fooled by him."

Xue Lu must have realized, "So that's it. I said, if you find the real murderer, there is no need to hide it from me."

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "The emperor ordered me to kill Lin Yuan. I will give you an explanation, but Lin Yuan is not the real murderer. I cannot kill innocent people. When I go to court later, Ji Gang will definitely use this to make things difficult for me."

Xue Lu was shocked: "What should I do?"

"Don't worry, I've already figured out a solution to it. I'm just waiting for a while, I'm afraid Governor Xue will help me with some good words."

Xue Lu bowed and bowed: "Mr. Yang was framed by Ji Gang for the sake of Xue's affairs. Xue felt quite guilty. Don't worry, when he went to court later, Xue would definitely argue with reason and not let Ji Gang succeed."

While he was talking, the morning court time was coming, and the bureaucrats lined up to enter the Jinshen Hall according to the ranks. They knelt in turn to welcome the emperor out of the dragon throne and took a seat. They shouted long live, and then they stood sideways.

The eunuch Sili sang loudly: "If you have something to do, report it, and if you have nothing to do, leave the court-!"

Ji Gang stepped forward and bowed and said, "Long live, I was originally under Lin Yuan, who raped and killed Governor Xue's concubine and maid, and ordered him to behead him. Although Lin Yuan was a subordinate of the minister, he was in a sympathetic relationship with his brothers. When he heard this bad news, I was heartbroken. But I missed my brothers and wanted to collect his corpse and bury him, but I didn't know when to behead him. I specially asked the emperor to ask Long En to make a date for his death so that I could go and collect the corpse."

Ming Chengzu nodded slightly: "Ji Aiqing is generous and kind to his subordinates, which is lamentable." He turned to Yang Qiuchi and looked at Yang Qiuchi: "Yang Aiqing, then Lin Yuan will be executed tomorrow. Notify Ji Aiqing before the execution, so that he can send someone to collect the body."

Yang Qiuchi's heart began to thrive, and he stepped out with his teeth and bowed, saying, "Long live, Lin Yuan cannot be killed."

Ming Chengzu frowned: "Why is this?"

"I have found out that Lin Yuan is not the real murderer who raped and killed Governor Xue's beloved concubine, but was innocent, so he could not be killed."

"Who is the real murderer?"

"Weichen is investigating further, and the case has not been solved yet."

Ming Chengzu snorted heavily: "You said the time you said Lin Yuan was the real murderer, but now you say no, what's the reason?"

"I only said that Lin Yuan had a major criminal suspect this time. In any case of criminal crimes, there are three or five major criminal suspects, which is not uncommon. What I need to do is to eliminate innocent people from these major criminal suspects and find out the real murderer."

"Since Lin Yuan is no longer the real murderer, do you have any clues to the real murderer? How can this case be concluded?"

Yang Qiuchi bowed deeply: "Although the real murderer has not revealed his traces, the net of heaven is vast and sparse and does not leak, and there will always be a day when he is arrested. The empress will do his best to solve the case."

"What if the real murderer can't be found?"

"I think that even if the real murderer cannot be found, I cannot be killed innocent people and convicted of the case!"

"Bold!" Ji Gang shouted. "Mr. Yang, you dare to accuse the emperor of killing innocent people in a vain. What crime should you be punished?"

"I am the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. I have decided to ask for the name of punishment and only follow the imperial decree of Taizu (the Daming Law asks for cases, and if there is any crime, it will be corrected. Even though I know that there is no guilt, I will not be sentenced in vain. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for the crime of intentional crime. I will not be able to bear the responsibility of this crime of intentional crime!"

Ji Gang pointed at Yang Qiuchi and smiled and said, "Haha, if you can't bear the crime of intentional involvement, then you must be the crime of resisting the order and deceiving the emperor!"
