Chapter 380: The Throne

Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan hurried to Chunhui Hall, in the old prince's bedroom, in addition to the person who served the old prince, it was Rong Chengxiang, and the chief eunuch in the palace.

"Master Hou is here, hurry, hurry up......" When the chief eunuch saw Rong Chenghan coming, he didn't put on a show, but greeted him very attentively and said.

"There's Mr. Lao Li." Rong Chenghan clenched his fist to the chief eunuch.

"Hey, where." Manager Li hurriedly asked Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruoxi to go to the old prince's bed. Looking at his attitude towards Rong Chenghan, he is also familiar with his diligence.

Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan arrived at the old prince's couch, the old prince was lying on the couch, his eyes were still closed, but his breathing was a little short, and his eyes seemed to be slowly turning under his eyelids. The old prince should have been conscious, and he wanted to open his eyes, but it was difficult to do so for a while. The old prince's appearance was a little painful.

Rong Chengxiang saw Rong Chenghan coming, as if he had seen a savior.

"Third brother, you're here. You see, what can we do now? ”

"Why did my father suddenly ......" Rong Chenghan stepped forward and knelt down in front of the old prince's couch, holding the old prince's hand at the same time.

At the moment when Rong Chenghan held the old prince's hand, the old prince seemed to feel it, and the struggling look on his face was somewhat relieved. It seems that the arrival of Rong Chenghan has made the old prince's semi-comatose central realm a lot more stable.

Without waiting for Rong Chenghan to continue to ask again, Rong Chengxiang had already told all the things about Fang Cai.

Rong Chengyi had such a big thing on his side, although Rong Chengxiang had never left by the old prince's side, he still knew about it. Rong Chengyi was gone, and Rong Chengxiang cried. He saw that the old prince was not awake, and he babbled in front of the old prince.

The old prince was lying quietly, but suddenly it was as if someone was sleeping in his sleep.

The old prince who was in a coma still had a trace of clarity, and when he heard the news of Rong Chengyi's death, he was greatly shocked. And this kind of shock is likely to be a factor that prompts the old prince to wake up. It's a good thing or a bad thing after all. Liu Ruoxi couldn't explain it for a while. But there's one thing you don't have to worry about.

The news of Rong Chengyi's death will never be hidden from the old prince.

"Father......" Rong Chenghan held the old prince's hand and shouted twice, the muscles on the old prince's face twitched, but he hadn't opened his eyes yet.

"Master Hou......" Manager Li walked over and said in a low voice in Rong Chenghan's ear, "...... I have already sent someone back to the palace and asked Imperial Doctor Luo to come over. ”

In Tai Hospital, Dr. Luo is the best at acupuncture. Originally, Imperial Physician Luo was also sent by the emperor to the old prince's side, but because the first concubine in the palace was sick today, Imperial Physician Luo had to be temporarily summoned back.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Rong Chenghan hurriedly thanked Mr. Li.

Chief Steward Li is the Grand Governor of the Inner Palace. Now he was personally sent by the emperor to guard the old prince. Many of the affairs in the old prince's house are now up to this manager Li.

Soon, Dr. Luo was invited.

Imperial Physician Luo looked at the situation of the old prince, and the look on his face was not optimistic, but he still gave the old prince an injection.

"Father, father, father......" Under Rong Chenghan's call, the old prince slowly opened his eyes.

Although the old prince opened his eyes, his eyes were blank, and his mouth opened and closed. But only an extremely faint sound can be made. Rong Chenghan hurriedly put his ear on it, and finally understood what the old prince was saying.

"Yi'er......" The old prince was asking Rong Chengyi.

"Father," Rong Chenghan couldn't speak, but he couldn't help but say it. "Big brother, he...... He's ......"

In order to alleviate the stimulation of the old prince, Rong Chenghan pondered the words and said the news that Rong Chengyi had passed away.

"Oh......" The old prince's eyes were even more blank, and he let out a soft sigh for a while. Two lines of cloudy tears flowed down his cheeks.

The old prince is like this, and Liu Ruoxi can't help crying next to her.

"Don't hide it, tell me ......" seems to have exhausted the last of its strength. Although the old prince's voice was still weak, it was much clearer than just now.

"Yes, Father." When Rong Chenghan saw the old prince say this, he looked solemn.

Rong Chenghan did not hide it at all, and told the old prince about Rong Chengyi's murder.

"Yi'er, I can't see it anymore." After listening to Rong Chenghan's words, the old prince seemed to want to struggle to get up. But he soon understood that this was already impossible for him.

"Father......" Rong Chenghan saw the old prince's thoughts, "If my father wants to, I will carry my father over." ”

"No, no." The old prince was originally facing the void, but at this time he slowly turned his gaze to Rong Chenghan. "People can't fight with fate, forget it...... Ahan ......"

The old prince seemed to want to say something to Rong Chenghan, but his voice lowered little by little, and his eyes slowly closed.

"Father......" Sensing the change in the old prince, Rong Chenghan suddenly realized something and hurriedly shouted loudly. He seems to want to keep the old prince and make the old prince sober up by shouting like this.

The old prince seemed to be struggling and refused to close his eyes, his lips squirmed, but he couldn't make any sound.

has been able to survive for many days, already relying on the old prince's good physical foundation and more stoic spirit than ordinary people. At this moment, the old prince is already running out of oil and the lamp is dry. When Imperial Physician Luo administered the needle to the old prince, he had already hinted very tactfully.

"Father, ......" Rong Chenghan grabbed the old prince's hand tightly.

Rong Chenghan was about to cry loudly next to him.

Manager Li suddenly stepped forward and crossed Rong Chengxiang. Manager Li bent down beside the old prince's couch and put his ear to the old prince's lips.

"Although the old prince commands, our family is serving the old prince here in accordance with the will of the long live lord. Our family obeyed the order, and the old prince ordered, and immediately planned to play the fold, and asked the third son, Wu Yang, to wait for Rong Chenghan to be the prince of Yongjing Palace......"

"Although the prince Chitose can rest assured, our family will definitely bring the words of the Chitose Lord to the Banzai Lord......"

These words of Mr. Li were said out loud. Not only did the people in the old prince's house hear it, but even the people waiting outside also heard it.

The old prince got the bad news of the death of his eldest son, but the Yongjing Mansion could not be inherited by no one. The old prince decided to establish Rong Chenghan as the son of Yongjing Palace.

Manager Li relayed the words of the old prince, and then straightened up and took a half step back.

The old prince's eyes slowly closed at this time, different from Fang Cai's somewhat painful expression. At this moment, the old prince's expression was serene.

"Ahan ,...... I'll leave it all to you...... ......" This is the last sentence left by the old prince.

"Father......" Rong Chenghan cried loudly.

The crying in the house soon came out, and the whole palace immediately burst into tears.

The old prince is gone.

When Su Shi got the news and staggered over, the old prince had closed his eyes forever.

"Lord Wang......" Su Shi threw himself in front of the old prince's bed, and also cried loudly. …… You left your concubine like this, Lord Wang, you are so ruthless......"

……

It has been several days since the funeral of the old prince and Rong Chengyi, and Liu Ruoxi can be regarded as having handled all the follow-up matters properly, and she has had some leisure for the first time in so many days. It just so happened that Rong Chenghan was also in the house that day, and the couple were wearing plain clothes. Sitting in the upper room of Yunshui Ju and talking.

Liu Ruoxi made some tea, and she didn't need the little girl to serve on the side, so she sat opposite Rong Chenghan on the couch. The couple discussed things while drinking tea.

Although the funerals of the old prince and Rong Chengyi have been completed, there are not many things that need to be dealt with urgently in the palace. This first one is naturally the issue of the inheritance of the Yongjing Palace.

During the funeral of the old prince, several holy decrees were passed down in the palace. One of them is that the emperor canonized Rong Chenghan as the son of Yongjing Wangfu according to the old prince's deathbed instructions. Just wait for the old prince's funeral to be completed. Rong Chenghan will inherit the title and officially become the king of Yongjing.

The whole palace was convinced by this, and only one person objected to it.

That person was Su.

There are the last words of the old prince, and there is the emperor's holy decree. Moreover, Rong Chenghan Chengjue is also a decision that is most in line with the interests of Yongjing Palace. But the Su family was bent on it, she wanted Rong Chenghan to resign from the canonization of the son, and let Rong Jin Chengjue become the next generation of King Yongjing.

Rong Chenghan didn't have much idea about the throne in the first place. When Su Shi raised this matter in public at that time, he was not very calm, in order to appease Su Shi. Rong Chenghan immediately handed the fold to the palace, saying that he was ordered by his mother to resign and canonize.

However, the palace soon sent the excerpt back, and the emperor did not allow it to be played.

"Tomorrow is the court meeting, and this matter will definitely be brought to the court for the ministers to discuss." The couple discussed, and Rong Chenghan said.

"I don't know if the mother's family can make the mother change her mind." Liu Ruoxi sighed, the Su family came to persuade the Su family several times, but to no avail. "I really don't know what the concubine thinks, doesn't she know that if you refuse, you will only be guilty in the end? When the time comes, the whole palace will be eaten and hanged. Could it be that only when the palace has declined, can the mother concubine be satisfied, and feel that she has the face to go underground to see her father and the ancestors of the palace! ”

Rong Chenghan was about to speak, when a little girl came in to report, saying that Su asked Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruoxi to go to Chunhui Hall to have something to say.

"Look, here we are." Liu Ruoxi whispered to Rong Chenghan, "The mother concubine also knows about tomorrow's court meeting, this is to ask you to go over and talk about the title, I don't know if you have changed your mind." ”

"Let's go and see." Rong Chenghan frowned slightly, but had to stand up.

Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan arrived at Chunhui Hall. Su sat on the couch with a haggard face, and on the chairs on both sides of the couch sat the princess, Rong Jin, Rong Chengxiang and Lloyd's respectively. The Su clan is gathering all the people in the palace together, which means to discuss major matters.

"Tomorrow is the court meeting......" Sure enough, as Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan expected, the Su family did not say anything superfluous, but went straight to the point. Ah Han, although his father left a message before he died. However, this throne, it was originally your eldest brother's. Although your eldest brother is gone, he still has a child. "Knowing that the old prince was on his deathbed, the old prince was buried in front of him, so she thought about overthrowing it and acting according to her wishes.

"You see that Jin'er is still young, and your sister-in-law is lonely, so you can give up the throne and let Jin'er sit." Su Shi spoke like this, as if this seat of King Yongjing was just an ordinary toy, and she could let whoever she wanted to sit on.

"My mother is pregnant in October, giving birth to you and raising you, there is nothing else to ask you for, only this one thing." The Su family actually took out the matter of giving birth to Rong Chenghan to blackmail!

"You sit on the throne, and after a hundred years, you really don't have the face to go underground to see my short-lived sister......" Su Shi said, and began to cry.

Su asked Rong Chenghan to give way to Rong Jin, but he couldn't say the reason for doing so, only said that it was because Rong Jin was pitiful, and let Rong Chenghan because he was pitiful Rong Jin, in order to make her feel at ease, and after a hundred years, she would have the face to see Rong Chengyi's mother-in-law, so she would resist the decree and must give up the throne.

Liu Ruoxi sat on the chair and couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead.

Rong Chenghan can let it once or twice, which can be said to be Rong Chenghan's filial piety, but the emperor has always rejected it, obviously because he has made up his mind. If Rong Chenghan repeatedly pushes back, it will inevitably be ignorant of current affairs, disrespectful to the will, and disrespectful to the superiors.

"Mother," she was helpless in her heart, but Liu Ruoxi still spoke, "Ah Han has already refused once, and then went to Banzai Ye to ask for it in person, but he was all refuted. Thunder, rain and dew are all imperial graces. If Ahan refuses to be canonized, he can only be punished. The foundation and grace that our royal family has gained through blood and sweat for generations, do they have to be tossed and lost like this? ”

"Ahan has done what he can. The mother concubine has the idea of the mother, and we are children, so we should follow it. It's just that with the current plan, Ah Han is no longer good at coming forward. …… The mother concubine never thought about going into the palace to ask for it in person? ”

Su Shi is so stubborn, this is something that no one can persuade to turn. Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but think about it. Instead of letting the Su clan force Rong Chenghan to anger the emperor, it is better to push the Su clan to come forward himself.

Su Shi's temper is like this, he has to hit the wall himself, and he has to touch it ruthlessly, so he will know that this road is not working.

"The identity of the mother concubine is more useful than what Ah Han said." Liu Ruoxi said gently.

As the widow of Prince Yongjing, if there is no accident, Su will soon have a will to come down and become a concubine. Su insisted that Rong Chenghan give up the throne, so he asked her to hand over the fold by herself and go to the emperor to beg in person.

When the emperor is angry, it is better to let him be angry with the Su family, than to let Rong Chenghan be the target himself. Su Shi went, the emperor was afraid that there would be no good face for her, and it was just a lesson to let Su Shi suffer some losses. And for the sake of the new widow of the Su family, the emperor will not be too ruthless.

Liu Ruoji thought about this qiē clearly, and tried her best to persuade Su.

Su Shi was moved by what he said.

"You say so, then...... That's it. Su Shi seemed to have made up his mind, "It's just that I went to ask for it, and you can't go back." (To be continued......)
