"Concubine Chen is already pregnant, and I have decreed that if she gives birth to a boy, he will inherit the throne, and until then, you will be the regent. You are my sister, the concubine of the first emperor, and you have always had a good name, and no one is more suitable than you. ”

The Emperor said softly.

This short sentence contained a huge amount of information, which directly shocked Shen Yan in place, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Concubine Chen is pregnant? When did Concubine Chen get pregnant?

She's regent?

The emperor's order, she really can't figure it out. If it was Emperor Kang and Emperor Ji in the past, she would naturally be able to be regent with a keen sense of smell in the court.

But she's not!

She is just an ordinary woman, and she can't manage such a big national affair at all. I don't want to care.

What is the difference between entrusting the whole world to yourself and joking?

Shen Yan looked at the emperor with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe it. She gritted her teeth and stared at the emperor, expecting his next words to be repentant.

"Xu Jin, he can't stay."

Who knew that he didn't wait for repentance, but waited for such a sentence.

The emperor held Shen Yan's hand tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his thin hand trembled, and said coldly.

His eyes at this time were like poisonous snakes crawling in the forest looking for prey, and they were like the souls of the abyss and hell, cold and piercing.

These words extinguished Shen Yan's last moment of emotion when he was hovering on the edge of reason.

In the eyes of the emperor, life has never been a very valuable thing.

"Why?"

When Shen Yan heard Xu Jin's name, she instantly calmed down, she looked straight into the emperor's eyes, and asked in a cold voice.

"You have not grown in the Qingsi Hall all these years. If you want to be a regent, you must be alone. If not, Xu Jin will control the government through you! I will send someone to kill Xu Jin quietly, after you are the assistant government, it doesn't matter how many noodles you raise, as long as there is no joint relationship, you can be happy. ”

The emperor stared at her eyes and said sharply, as if he was teaching a child.

He said such a high-sounding word, as if it was an extremely honorable thing to die for the imperial power, and he should be grateful to Dai De.

Or, the emperor was telling her that she couldn't put the whole court in danger because of one person.

"Brother Huang, he is my husband, if you kill him, kill me too. Is the cold imperial power really comparable to a person who treats me sincerely? ”

Shen Yan really couldn't think clearly, and he couldn't figure it out.

This supreme right is as if only one person can sit. A lonely person, a lonely person who is serious, can't even leave a pillow person.

Looking at Shen Yan's stubbornly raised head and eyes, the emperor was silent.

He thinks he knows his sister, and he also knows how cold-hearted Kang He is, compared to himself, her ruthlessness is more like a qualified emperor.

Now she can stand up to him like this for someone else.

Could it be that in the Qingsi Temple for so many years, can it really completely change a person?

"Do you know what you just said, for the sake of a person, for a so-called outsider, you actually gave up your low-hanging rights like this?"

The emperor struggled to half get up, he stared at Shen Yan and said sharply.

"Brother Huang, I don't understand the righteousness of the family and country, and I don't understand other advanced things. It's just that I understand that the law states that husband and wife are one, and if you want to kill Xu Jin, you will kill me! ”

Shen Yan didn't take a step back at this time, and looked straight at the emperor's eyes.

It was as if thousands of drums were beating in unison around her. Shen Yan's heart was very confused and panicked, she was now like a gambler on the verge of despair, never knowing whether she would win or lose until the answer was revealed.

But she can't back down! Because at this time, it is Xu Jin's life that is pressed on the stake!

"That's it, that's it, no matter what the ending is, it's already something I can't see. It's just that I want to tell you that if the country changes hands or the people suffer, and the underworld is reunited in the future, my father will not forgive you. ”

The emperor sneered, withdrew his hand in Shen Yan's palm, lazily lay back on the bed, and took a few deep breaths.

"Summoning King Qin in."

The emperor calmed down before he said lightly, and Yue Xin hurriedly went out of the hall and called Wang Huanzhi in.

Wang Huanzhi is dressed in purple clothes today, and the green silk is tied up with a purple and gold crown, and the whole body is bright and bright, which is in stark contrast to the sick and weak emperor lying on the bed, and he will die in his life.

"King Qin is still so young!"

The emperor looked at Wang Huanzhi who was kneeling in front of the bed with some jealousy and said.

When he first succeeded to the throne, Wang Huanzhi was just an ordinary general. In those years, he made great achievements in war, and he was sealed to the throne of King Qin.

If you talk about it carefully, the two can be regarded as knowing each other when they were young, and they have supported each other all the way to the current situation of mutual suspicion.

The court changed rapidly, and King Qin was no longer a general back then, he had enough troops and power to make him the de facto regent.

It's just that the fortune is different, the emperor is terminally ill, but Wang Huanzhi is still the same, still the same indifferent strategizing posture at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, the minister is terrified."

Wang Huanzhi knelt in front of the bed, half got up, leaned over and bowed. He walked the rivers and lakes in those years, and he could be regarded as a little familiar with the art of Huangqi, and the emperor's current appearance was tinged with a sickly purple blue, and he had obviously run out of oil.

When the candle is pulled out and the wax is blown, it is over.

"King Qin, listen to the order."

The emperor looked at Wang Huanzhi, who was obediently saluting in front of his bed, although he was worried, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to try his best to maintain the last trace of majesty, and said in a deep voice.

When he was alive, he was able to control Wang Huanzhi and balance the situation. But Kanghe can't. Her previous decisiveness in killing was all worn out in the days of recuperation.

In order to safely hand over the rights to Kanghe, the emperor had to make some decisions.

Wang Huanyi lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor's will to be announced.

"Wang Huanzhi, the king of Qin, helped me ascend the throne, with outstanding achievements and military achievements, and was specially awarded the title of first-class protector. The eldest princess of the Kingdom of Yu temporarily received the jade seal and was in charge of government affairs. In the future, he will be the prince in the womb of Concubine Chen. ”

Yue Xin took out the holy decree that he had written early in the morning, and after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The emperor's will was generally within Wang Huanzhi's guess. The emperor is a man with sole power, and he would rather the imperial power fall into the hands of Kang He for the time being, and will not let the Pang clan have a chance to be contaminated.

There are some things that you can't let go of once you get through your hands.

The loyalty that the Ponzi clan had accumulated over generations was not such a reliable thing. As long as someone sits on this dragon chair that symbolizes imperial power, any moral loyalty can be left behind.

"The minister commands."

Wang Huanzhi bowed his hand, took the holy decree and replied loudly.
