At this moment, the queen's heart is like a stormy sea, and although the drums are beating loudly in her heart, the queen manages her facial expressions very well, and she is calm as if she has heard an ordinary piece of advice.

The emperor's eyes stared at the queen's eyes sharply, as if he wanted to read something from them, and any subtle expression on his snow-white face would be under his eyes.

"The Emperor... Why did the emperor stare at his concubines like this. The queen twisted her face to the side, although the queen tried her best to maintain a casual appearance, but in the emperor's eyes that hooked people's hearts, she still did not control herself, and the words she slurred and the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth had been captured by the other party.

The emperor didn't reply, gently stroked her delicate face, and said softly: "Empress! What you think in your heart, how can I not guess if I am not a fool? Give up, the emperor is not suitable for this position? ”

The queen stiffly let the other party touch her face, but she couldn't squeeze out half a word, and the other party's domineering momentum forced her to seem out of breath and was about to beg for mercy.

Suddenly.

The door of the dormitory was opened, and I saw that the prince was trespassing in without permission, followed by a team of armed guards who stayed outside the door, and one of the submissive little eunuchs followed into the dormitory, holding a bowl of soup and medicine in his hand.

The crown prince walked steadily, with a playful smile in his mouth, "Did my father just say that his son is not suitable for this position?" What location? Let Erchen guess, well, it's definitely not the position of the prince or anything, could it be the throne? ”

"Bold!" The emperor was shocked, and suddenly sat up from the queen's lap, extremely majestic, "Rebel, do you know what you are doing?" But he was too excited, and he couldn't breathe and coughed suddenly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stunned, and said to himself: "My father said that I am not suitable for the throne, is that Hua Yiyun suitable?" Haha, my dignified prince is not suitable, he is just a Yiwang suitable? Father, I'm afraid you're not sick and confused!! ”

"Rebel! What exactly do you want to do! Rebellion can't be done!! The emperor finally stopped coughing, knowing that the inside and outside of the palace were controlled by the guards brought by the prince, and the other party's intentions were obvious.

"Rebellion? Erchen would never dare. The prince sneered, took the bowl of soup medicine from the little eunuch beside him, and suddenly said with concern: "Erchen heard that his father was seriously ill, so he specially asked someone to stew a bowl of big tonic soup to make up for his father's weak body, otherwise you will fall ill, who will govern this huge world, right, father?" ”

The emperor's eyes widened angrily, and he laughed angrily, "Look at the rebel son you raised, queen, queen, in the end you still came to this point!" You're going to pay for it. ”

"Father, the emperor is angry, don't be angry with the dragon body anymore." The prince walked to the dragon couch with the decoction, and the little eunuch behind him was extremely clever, and hurriedly moved a chair in front of the bed, and the prince sat down, "Father, come!" Drink the medicine quickly, the effect of the medicine will be halved when it cools for a while. ”

The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he was seriously ill, the more angry he was, the more he couldn't use his strength, he wanted to slap over the bowl of soup on the spot, but he couldn't use his strength, and it was already his limit to be able to sit firmly on the edge of the bed at this time.

The prince gently scooped up a spoonful of decoction and wanted to feed it to the emperor, but the other party closed his lips tightly.

"Hehe, my father opened his mouth, can't he even have the strength to drink?" The crown prince sneered, "I'm afraid that Erchen will not be poisoned?" As he spoke, he put the spoonful of the decoction into his mouth and drank it in one gulp.

"This decoction is a rare perfect tonic, I personally let people stew, I won't do such a big rebellious thing, although Erchen wants to be the emperor, but that has to be justified, isn't it? I want you to die! But now is not the time. ”

"You!" The emperor kept coughing, his face was blue and pale, and it was extremely difficult to finish even a sentence.

"You... Your mother and son... Sure enough, the wolf's ambition... Ahem..."The emperor suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and he didn't know whether he was angry or terminally ill, "Come on, come on... Help..."In the end, he couldn't even call for help, and he lay on the bed in embarrassment.

"Someone! Come, come on. Hoarse sobs, hard cries, the former invincible king no longer exists, and now he is only a sick and lonely old man with no one to answer him.

"Father, don't shout, the son looks strange and feels uncomfortable." The crown prince was slapping him on the back pretendically, "Erchen has already ordered everyone to retreat and rest, if the father has anything, just tell Erchen directly, and Erchen promises to handle it for you." ”

The words are good words, but the crown prince looked down at this emperor who had once ruled the world, and his eyes were full of blazing heat, as if he would become such a person in the next moment.

"Inverse... Rebel son, cough cough, you want to kill your father and seize the throne, cough..."Although the emperor already knew that this son was not right, he didn't expect that his heart had reached such a point.

"No, no! My father has loved me so much since I was a child, and let my son sit as the prince, just this kind of kindness and son's retribution will not be able to repay it for a lifetime, how dare my son have such a rebellious mind. The crown prince's voice was full of emotion, and the words changed, "Father, you are in poor health, I'm afraid time is running out, I'll find Mr., tomorrow is a good day, it's better for my father to succeed to the throne tomorrow, let the sons and daughters do the work for the world, father, you are old and should take care of your days, and the sons will definitely be filial to you." ”

"Rebel, rebel!!" The emperor was hoarse and hoarse, and he couldn't get out of his anger in his chest, he never thought that the mother and son would have a showdown and rebellion tonight, wow, a mouthful of pus and blood vomited on the spot.

The filthy and foul stench of blood splashed on the prince's gorgeous boots, the prince didn't care at all, and still talked and laughed as usual, "The emperor doesn't need to be angry anymore, as long as you do what I want, I will let them live the rest of their lives in peace and security with the big and small side concubines of your harem and the hidden illegitimate children, if they are not as good as I want, then they can only accompany your father and you into the Nine Springs to accompany you." ”

"Shut up! Contrarian, closed... Shut up! ”

"Oh, by the way, I can't let Hua Yiyun go, it's better to get rid of this thorn in the flesh as soon as possible, lest my throne be unstable, father, don't you say?"

"You... You..."The emperor couldn't hold back his anger anymore, he couldn't lift it in one breath, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and the prince and the queen watched coldly, and there was no wave in their hearts.

The dying emperor finally quieted down, his eyes were so closed that it was impossible to tell whether he had fainted or fallen asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day.

On the Jinhua Palace, the ministers of civil and military officials have already gathered in the hall on both sides of the hall and stand side by side, the time of the early dynasty has already arrived, but the emperor has not seen the court for a long time, and the old eunuch in charge has not notified the news of the retreat from the court, and the courtiers can only wait in the hall, and discuss a few points from time to time.

Jiang Yuntian and Hua Yiyun, who had seen the emperor yesterday, naturally knew the emperor's mental state, and his body was weak and weak, but what the emperor said yesterday was to pass on the throne to King Yi, and he would definitely not be late today, but now that the emperor has not been in the early court, this can't help but make the two of them feel strange.

Just when everyone thought that they were about to retreat from the court, the prince suddenly walked into the palace with a eunuch supporting the trembling emperor from the side, and then placed the emperor on the dragon chair and leaned against it.

The Jinhua Palace, which was originally noisy, was suddenly silent, and all the ministers were shocked, some time ago, the emperor was in good health and had no sick appearance, how could he suddenly be seriously ill every few days, and even the early dynasty needed two people to support him?

Although the ministers were puzzled, they still knelt and bowed according to the custom, and the emperor watched the courtiers kneel down and wanted to open their mouths to say something, but he struggled to open his mouth, but he could only open it halfway, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The crown prince seemed to know this, and he had been waiting for the emperor, and it was very appropriate to take a step forward, and proclaimed loudly: "All the ministers are flat, my father and emperor have been in poor health recently, and this morning the dynasty will be in charge of the overall situation on behalf of my father." ”

Everyone got up, although they didn't dare to look directly at the Jinhua Palace, but they could also use their afterglow to see a rough idea, a hundred steps away from the dragon chair, and they could see clearly what the emperor's trembling lips wanted to say, but they couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

A normal person can sense that something is wrong, but how many people dare to get involved in the royal strife and stand in line indiscriminately? If you don't see through it, the courtiers don't dare to say more.

Hua Yiyun and Jiang Yuntian were surprised at the same time how the queen and the crown prince who were under house arrest suddenly appeared in the middle of the court this morning, and they were puzzled in their hearts, and at the same time, they were also worried about what had happened.

Although Hua Yiyun knew that his father's illness was serious, he didn't want his father, who could still walk yesterday, was already terminally ill today, and he couldn't even open his mouth to speak, and he wanted to come forward to check it out with mixed feelings in his heart, but he was pulled by Jiang Yun on the side, so he could only give up and wait in place to see what was changing.

In the Zhulian on the side, the queen is sitting with a smile and watching everything in the hall, the world seems to be close at hand, as long as she takes another step forward, her dream can be realized.

Jinhua Hall on the dragon chair, the prince stands upright, today he is very different, both the spirit and the appearance are excellent far beyond the past, the figure is already tall he put on a gorgeous dress more majestic and majestic, the outline of the facial features is like a knife, the eyes are sharp and profound, the whole person stands in the hall, an invisible and powerful temperament makes people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

This is the destiny of heaven! Some of His Royal Highness's ministers have already begun to think about the idea of standing in line and surrendering, and now the situation is obviously about to change, and some wall grasses also know the stakes, and when the time comes, they will respond to it and have no objections.

Everyone knows the weirdness above the main hall, but who dares to point it out? Is it really a big loyal minister who has a blue blood pill heart and a pure red heart to serve the court? Not to mention their own lives, but don't involve the whole family, whoever is in his position will be loyal to whom, this is their wise move.
