334. The Dumb Emperor
He didn't understand why his father didn't tell him to be the crown prince. When will this old thing officially crown himself the crown prince, and when will he be one step closer to that supreme position.
He was pacing back and forth in the study, Qin Wenya was also anxious when he watched from the side, and made a cup of tea and handed it to him, the best way at this time was to accompany him silently and give silent support.
After not knowing how long he had been troubled, Su Changlin hurried over.
Xiao Wenxuan didn't talk nonsense anymore and told Su Changlin about the current situation.
The two conspired from the evening to the third watch, and discussed for a long time before making up their minds, and when Su Changlin came out of the prince's mansion and returned to his house, it was already the fourth watch, and only the husband was still wandering outside in the bleak night.
Qin Wenya fell asleep on the table at some point, Xiao Wenxuan looked at her, and his eyes softened unconsciously. He bent down to pick her up, not expecting her to be so light.
Feeling that someone was touching her, Qin Wenya woke up and looked at Xiao Wenxuan ignorantly.
Xiao Wenxuan smiled and said that it was okay, so he carried her to bed.
Qin Wenya, who was in a daze, couldn't open her sleepy eyelids, and continued to fall asleep with a glutinous hum.
Xiao Wenxuan put Qin Wenya on the bed, and after covering her with the quilt, he looked at her in her sleep and secretly swore that this woman who was devoted to herself must not let her down.
Guarding Qin Wenya for a while, seeing that the time was not early, Xiao Wenxuan did not sleep again, and entered the palace when the sky was just polished.
After entering the palace, because it was still early, Concubine Xiang hadn't gotten up yet, so Xiao Wenxuan sat in the living room and waited for Concubine Xiang.
Concubine Xiang, who was woken up, got up immediately, she knew that Xiao Wenxuan would definitely have something important to discuss with her when she came to her so early, so she didn't dare to delay for a moment.
Under the service of the maid, she quickly dressed and groomed. Although it is fast, the reputation of the harem is not for nothing, and every action is charming and impeccable.
After packing everything up, Concubine Xiang ordered someone to prepare breakfast, and she wanted to have a good meal with Xiao Wenxuan.
At the dinner table, Xiao Wenxuan did not move his chopsticks. Concubine Xiang instantly understood that she had dismissed the palace maids who were waiting around her, thinking that they were disturbing her meal.
The minions also knew that Concubine Xiang had always been willful, so she retreated without suspicion.
After withdrawing everything, Concubine Xiang put down the spoon in her hand and asked Xiao Wenxuan straight to the point.
"Xuan'er, is something happening!"
Xiao Wenxuan didn't hide it anymore, and told Concubine Xiang the news that the prince was still alive. Concubine Xiang was shocked, she didn't expect him to come back alive, she really underestimated him at the beginning.
"Mother, we can't sit back any longer."
Xiao Wenxuan directly told Concubine Xiang about his inner thoughts and the decision he had discussed with Su Changlin yesterday, wanting to see what the queen mother thought.
Concubine Xiang didn't speak after hearing this, and the two were silent for a long time.
"If it's really like this, it's better to be the prince yourself!" Suddenly, Concubine Xiang broke the silence and said loudly.
Xiao Wenxuan was frightened by the queen mother's proposal, although he discussed with Su Changlin for a long time yesterday, he still did not coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes like Concubine Xiang. I knew that if this failed, it would be connected to the nine clans.
After Xiao Wenxuan was surprised, he asked his mother what means he had. He is not afraid of failure, but the question is what to do with this prince.
This is also something he and Su Changlin have discussed for a long time. He thought about it seriously, and there were only two ways. Either the emperor no longer controls the government, or in other words, he is controlled. Or, the crown prince is really dead!
At the moment, the second option is probably unlikely. For the sake of insurance, the first method is the most reliable.
At this time, a bold idea came to the minds of the two people, that is, to detain the emperor and pretend to be the crown prince.
It is said that mother and son are connected, which is not false at all, and in this regard, the two have surprisingly consistent ideas.
Concubine Xiang began to discuss the plan with Xiao Wenxuan, and Xiao Wenxuan knew that there was no way out, so he could only bite the bullet.
In the imperial study, the emperor summoned Xiao Wenxuan and watched him handle government affairs maturely in front of him, with a pleased smile on his face.
The two were discussing state affairs, and Concubine Xiang came over, joking with the prepared wine and food, saying that their father and son were so busy that they didn't even eat the imperial meal.
Only then did the emperor and Xiao Wenxuan notice that the hour was not early, and they stopped what they were doing and began to eat.
Concubine Xiang glanced at Xiao Wenxuan, and Xiao Wenxuan immediately poured wine for the emperor as if nothing had happened, saying that he was grateful for his father's teaching.
Concubine Xiang watched the emperor drink it and smiled charmingly.
The emperor put down the cup and was about to pick up the chopsticks, when he found himself weak. He looked at Concubine Xiang in disbelief, but he couldn't say a word, and then the person lay on the table unconscious.
The two took out the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, imitated His Majesty's handwriting, and drafted a holy decree to enshrine Xiao Wenxuan as the prince.
After dealing with everything, Concubine Xiang said that the emperor was ill and she was ordered to serve the sick. The queen didn't believe it and came to visit, but was thrown out.
The next day, in the court, Liu Gonggong announced that Xiao Wenxuan was crowned the crown prince, and the ministers were in an uproar, and some wall grasses took the opportunity to bow down to Xiao Wenxuan.
Tang Muchen looked at Xiao Wenxuan, who was smug, and guessed that he had already started.
After returning to the house, he told Su Xiaojin about today's court affairs, and the two decided to confront the court when the prince was almost healed.
Su Xiaojin believed that he could cure the prince well, and he would naturally be able to control the plague. She began to buy a large number of herbs to concoct an antidote. Tang Muchen admired her.
Above the court, Xiao Wenxuan, who claims to be the crown prince, is dealing with related matters, and now he can be described as proud.
Just when Xiao Wenxuan thought that he would go up and retreat from the court as usual today, Tang Muchen stood up.
"The prince hasn't arrived yet, so he can't go to court."
Some people who pursued Xiao Wenxuan ridiculed Tang Muchen for being confused before he was old, isn't it good for the prince to sit here in a dignified manner!
Xiao Wenxuan also smiled awkwardly.
"Tang Hou is confused, my father has already canonized me as the crown prince."
He said this, but he was secretly stunned in his heart, he wondered if Tang Muchen would already know the news that the prince was still alive.
Tang Muchen said loudly that the prince will arrive soon, so let's just wait a minute.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all began to whisper, and even Xiao Wenxuan's supporters laughed, saying that since Tang Xiaohou Ye was so insistent and waiting, what would it matter. The words were full of mockery.
"So everyone is still looking forward to me?"
With the appearance of the voice, a bright yellow figure appeared in front of everyone......
