In order to spend ** with Concubine Lian, the prince told the princess that the emperor's dragon body is not safe, and as a son of man, he has to serve in front of the sickbed, of course the princess is not easy to stop, so he can only tell the prince to pay attention to his body. After this matter was known by the ministers, everyone praised the prince for his loyalty, righteousness and filial piety, which can set an example for the world.

The matter of the crown prince and Concubine Lian is only known to a few of the closest people around them, after all, the paper can't contain the fire, even if they don't know the details, they have all heard about it. But under the pressure of the prince, no one dared to say anything, and the number of people waiting for the future emperor was innumerable, who would go back to touch the prince's mold. What's more, the old emperor's health is deteriorating, and he doesn't know how long he can last it, and no one will offend the prince for him.

But the emperor finally knew about it. At noon on this day, the emperor felt that he was in good spirits, so he wanted to call Concubine Lian to talk, so he sent the great eunuch An Fu next to him to invite Concubine Lian. Normally, at this time, Concubine Lian rests alone in her palace, and the emperor rarely summons her at this time. And since the crown prince and Concubine Lian pierced the layer of window paper, the two of them have become a little careless, not only at night, but also during the day. At noon on this day, thinking that the emperor would not summon her, Concubine Lian and the prince drank and had fun in the palace, Concubine Lian lay in the prince's arms in disheveled clothes, and the prince drank wine, but his hands were restless on Concubine Lian's body, an indescribable ** scene.

At this time, the outside suddenly remembered the voice of the palace maid:

"Knock to see Grandpa An!"

"Where's Concubine Lian?"

"Back to my father-in-law, my mother is taking a lunch break. ”

"Go and invite Niangniang, the emperor will pass on Niangniang!" An Fu looked at the closed door and left without speaking.

The two people inside were startled, and even most of them were sober from drinking. The prince didn't dare to stay here, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and left Concubine Lian's side hall through the back door, and returned to his place to rest. Concubine Lian hurriedly asked the palace maid to serve her to change her clothes and comb her hair. Because of the wine, my face was a little flushed, and now I can't do anything but apply another layer of powder on it. I felt that I could barely see people, but this had already delayed a lot of time, and the emperor waited for Concubine Lian for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Concubine Lian saw the emperor. Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, his heart became even more uneasy, and his speech became stammering.

"Concubines, concubines...... Meet Your Majesty. "The emperor saw Concubine Lian, so far away from him. He was even more unhappy, how did he know that Concubine Lian was afraid that he would smell the wine on her.

"I'm feeling a little more energetic now, I want to ask you to come and talk, who knows how long it took you to come?"

"The concubine was resting just now, and when she heard the emperor's call, she quickly changed her clothes and came over. Looking at Concubine Lian's pitiful appearance, the emperor relented and beckoned her to come closer. Concubine Lian had no choice but to step forward according to her words, she was only a few steps away from the emperor, but at this time, these few steps made her walk like thousands of miles.

"Sit. The emperor patted the edge of his dragon couch. Concubine Lian had to sit on the emperor's side. Don't dare to look at the emperor. What a shrewd person the emperor is, Concubine Lian's strange behavior has already made him suspicious. He looked at Concubine Lian's side face facing him, although there was a thick layer of powder, he could still see the blush on his face, and there were fine beads of sweat oozing from Concubine Lian's forehead.

"Aifei!"

"Your Majesty. Concubine Lian was taken aback by the emperor's sudden call.

"If something happens, tell me to call the shots!"

"Concubine, concubine didn't ...... Nothing. Concubine Lian's heart had already risen to her throat, and at this time she regretted very much that she had not been able to hold it and get involved with the prince. Allow yourself to get into such a predicament.

"Have you drunk?" The emperor's words were a question, but there was no doubt in his tone, but there was an undoubted affirmation, and Concubine Lian naturally heard it. She wasn't sure if the emperor was cheating on her, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll hand you over to the Si Zheng Bureau. "The Sizheng Bureau is the place where palace maids and eunuchs are punished, and it is known for its harsh punishments. If you send the concubines somewhere, it is tantamount to telling them to be treated the same as the palace maids, then they will have to shed their skin if they don't die. Although Concubine Lian has not been in the palace for a long time. But I had already heard of this famous Si Zhengju, but I didn't expect that one day the emperor would send her to such a place. Thinking of this, Concubine Lian was so frightened that she knelt on the ground,

"Your Majesty, the concubines really didn't do anything. ”

"Don't you think I don't know what you did, who is the person who fornicated with you?" Concubine Lian was shocked when she heard this, it was difficult that the emperor already knew about her and the prince, otherwise how could he call himself here at noon. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, she just wanted to get rid of her relationship quickly, how could she know that the emperor was just deceiving her.

"begged the emperor to spare his life, but the concubines were unwilling, it was the prince who forced the concubines. Saying that, Concubine Lian hid her face and cried bitterly. The emperor was furious when he heard the word prince, it turned out that he had been deceived by this son. At the moment, they were called Scholar Anfu Chuan Wang and other cabinet scholars. An Fu Lingzhi hurried out. He had actually heard about Concubine Lian and the crown prince, but he was worried that the emperor's body would not dare to say it, and at the same time he was disgusted by the prince's behavior, so although he did not expose the scandal of the prince this time, he did not report it to the prince, but hurried to invite the prince and other cabinet scholars.

But people are not as good as heaven, Anfu thinks well here, and the prince is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he expected that Concubine Lian's appearance at that time must not be hidden from the shrewd father, rather than waiting for the emperor to be abolished, it is better to strike first, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Wang Daxue.

That's it, the Fellows of the Royal Cabinet came earlier than the other Cabinet Scholars. When the prince saw him, he said hurriedly:

"Boss, it's not good!" "Scholar Wang thought that there was something wrong with the emperor, and the prince called himself over in such a hurry.

"Father is going to abolish me now!"

"What?" Scholar Wang was also taken aback.

"Why?"

"It's a long story, but I'll talk about it later. Now I invite the boss to come, I just want to ask the boss to come up with an idea, what can we do now?"

"Who knows all about this now?"

"My father hasn't decreed yet, but it should be soon. ”

"That is to say, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the old ministers know. ”

"Hmm. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Don't do it, don't do it. The prince's usually gentle voice became gloomy.

Scholar Wang was shocked when he heard this, this is the crown prince who is going to attack the emperor. What should I do? If I continue to stand on the emperor's side, I am afraid that according to the prince's temperament, he will be able to take his own life now. That's it, since he is already on the side of the prince, he has to give it a go.

"Since the prince has this intention, the old minister should support it!" The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, and we are like this.

The crown prince entered the emperor's bedroom, and no one dared to stop the palace maids and eunuchs below. He walked straight to the emperor's dragon couch. The emperor was closing his eyes at this time, and what happened just now made his already weak body even more overwhelmed. Concubine Lian was still lying on the ground, crying.

"Meet my father. The prince spoke. This sentence made Concubine Lian raise her head, her face full of hope and hidden fear. On the one hand, she hopes that the prince can save herself, and on the other hand, she also hopes that the prince will not blame her. When the emperor heard the voice of the crown prince, he opened his eyes, and looked at his son's indifferent appearance, and immediately became angry.

"You brute, you've been deceiving me!" The old emperor was very angry, his face turned red, but the prince didn't care.

"It's true that I'm not a good person, but it's useless for my father to say anything now? ”

"Don't dream, it's hard for you to kill your father and usurp the throne. ”

"Usurpation, didn't you pass on this son to me from your father, how could I be stupid to usurp the throne?"

"I will never pass on the throne to a hypocrite like you!" the old emperor was so angry that his chest hurt and he kept coughing.

"But, now it's not up to you to decide!" said the prince and walked to the bedside, grabbed the quilt on the emperor's body, and covered the old emperor's head at once, and then he pressed his father's mouth and nose with all his strength, the old emperor's body was already weak, and he didn't move without a few struggles. After a long pause, the crown prince let go of his hands that were trembling with excitement and fear, and saw that the old emperor's eyes were already protruding, and his face was blue and suffocated.

"Ha, I'm finally going to be the emperor. The prince took a few steps back, raised his hands excitedly, and muttered.

Crying on the side, Concubine Lian saw such a scene, and her mind couldn't turn for a while, Mu Mu stared blankly at the old emperor on the bed.

"Father's funeral, please mourn on Concubine Lotus. The prince glanced at Concubine Lian, which meant not to talk nonsense. At this time, there were voices from the main hall outside, and it turned out to be An Fu and a group of cabinet scholars who had come in. The prince left the inner room, looked at the general minister with tears in his eyes, and said:

"The emperor is dead!"

Except for Wang Daxue, everyone couldn't accept such news for a while. 徐士 says:

"The emperor wasn't fine just now, why did he suddenly ......"

"Father just felt that the time limit was approaching, and wanted to explain the future to the ministers, who knows that he won't make it to ...... in the end," the prince said with a whimper.

"Why isn't the Queen Mother here?" someone asked again.

"The emperor has state affairs in mind, and he can take care of the love of his children and the love of husband and wife, but unfortunately he did not catch up after all, and we can only repay His Majesty's kindness by doing our best to assist the new emperor. Scholar Wang said with tears in his eyes, and everyone saw that the first assistant bachelor had said this, and it was not easy to say more. After all, the crown prince is a righteous prince, and there is no possibility that he will murder his father.

Only An Fu knows that the death of the old emperor is not simple at all, he was fine when he left, how could he lose his breath after a while, he must have suffered some poisonous hand. I hate myself for being a lowly position, so I can only bury my words in my heart and find an opportunity to avenge the emperor again. (To be continued.) )
