Chapter 957: Final Confession
But such an attempt to stabilize the emperor will not succeed the empress, and the power of the stable country will be in his own hands until the moment before his death.
This is a common problem of being an emperor.
The great eunuch is the confidant of Emperor Anding, of course, he can understand the thoughts of his master, and he doesn't do much at this time, but he just pays attention to convey it.
Shen Qingling was very busy during this time.
The court was in a mess, and on the surface, it was him, the prince who was most likely to inherit the throne, who was in control, but because there was no authorization from the emperor, the queen's maiden party secretly used various excuses to oppose him.
It's because he's tough.
But no matter how difficult it was, when he received the news from the great eunuch, Shen Qingling still went to the palace without hesitation.
"Father."
Standing in front of the dragon bed, looking at the old man lying on the bed, Shen Qingling couldn't help but be moved.
The emperor who used to be powerful is like this when he is old.
Emperor Anding looked up at his fifth son, and a hint of clarity flashed in his cloudy eyes.
The pastries I ate in the palace of the concubine that time were indeed problematic, but I thought it had no effect at the time, but I didn't want to fall into the trap.
The medicine wasn't meant to be ingested, but it only needed him to take a close inhale.
At that time, the pastry case had been closed, and now that he was like this, no one believed him even when he turned over the old things. Even if Emperor Anding knew who was the black hand, now there is no evidence at all.
Suffered a dumb loss!
Emperor Anding only felt sad in his heart, and raised his hand tremblingly: "Sit down first." ”
Shen Qingling sat down on the edge of the bed, and when he saw that the chief eunuch brought the medicine, he got up again and went to take the medicine, and fed it to Emperor Anding spoonful by spoonful.
After taking the medicine, Emperor Anding spoke again: "Is the court still stable?" ”
"The courtiers are looking forward to their father presiding over the overall situation." Shen Qingling's answer was decent, and there was nothing wrong with it, but there was no sincerity.
It's all here, how can the court still be stable? It's just a self-deception.
Emperor Anding, who was a person who came over, knew it very well, but he didn't break it down at this time, just nodded tremblingly.
The great eunuch got the eye of Emperor Anding, bent down and went out, and after a while came in with a box.
The box is a fine Nanmu carved box, and the dragon pattern on it is mighty and domineering, as if it is about to take off.
And this box Shen Qingling is no stranger, it can be said that this is the goal of all princes.
But at this moment, Shen Qingling was not very excited when she saw this box, but there was some sadness in her eyes: "Father, who are you?" ”
"I know my own body, but in these last days, I must clear some obstacles to this stability." The voice of the Emperor of Anding was several times older.
This is an aftermath.
Perhaps, as a son, he can't stay in front of the bed at the last moment when Emperor Anding leaves.
Shen Qingling suddenly realized something, and looked at Emperor Anding with some horror in his eyes: "Father! ”
"Don't shout, I haven't gone yet!" Emperor Anding glared at him, then took the box in the hands of the great eunuch and handed it to him, "This is the jade seal, you take it first." ”
Shen Qingling took the box, a little in a trance.
Emperor Anding took out a scroll of holy decree from under his pillow again: "You also take this, I originally planned to wait until later to announce it, but now it seems that I am only afraid that I will be calculated, and it is safest for you to hold it yourself." ”
This is really an explanation of the aftermath.
You don't need to open it to see Shen Qingling to know what is written in this holy decree.
Emperor Anding saw the sadness in his eyes, and he was much more relieved in his heart, and smiled and said: "I know that you cherish your talents, but that Liang Gongzi is not a good one." Now that he is a husband and wife, he is just thinking about going back, and he has no intention of contributing to stability. You can treat them well in the future, and don't let them participate in a stable court. ”
"Sons can save it." Shen Qingling nodded, "Liang Gongzi is indeed unintentional. ”
"With such a position in his own country, how can he seek an official position in stability? Whether he can go back or not in the future, it will be a discredit to his own country. Emperor Anding sighed.
Shen Qingling agreed, so he bowed his head and continued to listen to Emperor Anding's teachings.
After Emperor Anding spoke for a while, he was a little exhausted, and his upper and lower eyelids moved and he was about to fall asleep.
The big eunuch stepped forward and invited Shen Qingling and said, "The emperor is going to rest, please go back first." ”
Shen Qingling turned his head to look at the bed, and Emperor Anding also waved his hand, and then he stood up.
Following the big eunuch out a few steps, Shen Qingling suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the bed, and said softly: "Seventh Brother is still alive, he is in Liang Gongzi's country, I am afraid that he will be able to come back in a few years." ”
His voice was soft, but Emperor Anding heard it clearly.
Qi'er is still alive!
Emperor Anding's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, and he turned his head to look outside, he wanted to ask more, but Shen Qingling had already left.
The great eunuch sent Shen Qingling back, and seeing Emperor Anding's expression, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Seventh is still alive, this is a good thing." ”
"Oracles, they are really oracles." Emperor Anding muttered.
"Yes, the heavens may have sent them to bring news of the Seventh Highness." The big eunuch laughed.
Emperor Anding became more and more relieved when he heard this, and his spirit looked better at this time, and he sat on the edge of the bed: "He is a blessed person, but it's a pity that his ambition is not in the country." Now that he is over there, he doesn't have to get involved in this smoky miasma of the battle for succession. ”
Speaking of his sons, only these two are the most angry. Now that his limit is approaching, it is enough to have a prince who has the ability to inherit stability by his side.
The great eunuch listened bitterly in his heart, and he didn't know what to say, so he simply lowered his hand to the side and said nothing.
There was a sudden commotion outside, and then a little eunuch ran in, and Empress Dao came. The big eunuch looked at Emperor Anding with some concern, but when he saw that Emperor Anding looked tired, he waved his hand and told him to leave it alone.
Presumably, the queen already knew the news of Qi'er, and it was during this period of time that she planned like this.
Once she takes full control of the imperial court, she will definitely threaten Liang Gongzi and the two to go back and pick up Qi'er with great fanfare, so that she will inevitably offend Liang Gongzi and the two.
He, the queen, is still too reckless to do things!
Emperor Anding sighed lightly, and suddenly felt very tired, so he simply leaned on the bed and closed his eyes to take a nap.
When the queen came in and saw this scene, her eyes flashed before she said, "Why did the emperor sit up today?" But are you feeling better? ”
"Back to Niangniang, the emperor's body has always been the same as before, and it has not improved." The big eunuch stepped forward and replied cautiously, not asking the queen to get an inch.
