The prince died.

Emperor Zhao died.

Li Haochen's father didn't come.

The news came too quickly and violently, and for a moment everyone fell silent.

They all set their eyes on Li Haochen.

Li Haochen didn't have time to react to whether this was joy or sorrow, and his mother, Empress Wuya, fainted and fell to the ground.

"Oh no, the queen has fainted. Come on, people. ”

Concubine Xiao held her pointed face and exclaimed.

Gonggong Wei hurriedly came over and helped the queen up.

Gently pinched the queen's person, and called: "Queen Mother, wake up, wake up, wake up......"

Gonggong Xu walked over, grabbed Li Haochen's sleeve and dragged it down.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor is dead, let's hurry back to the Prince's Palace."

Li Haochen was sad in his heart, his father said that it was gone, and he was very sad from the perspective of a son.

"Why are you going back to the Prince's Palace? We should go and see what the situation is with my father. ”

Gonggong Xu grabbed him and stomped his feet in a hurry.

"Oh, Your Highness the Prince, you are confused. When the emperor dies, naturally the queen mother will come forward to preside over the situation, you just need to stay in the prince's palace and wait for the succession to the throne. Now if you're running around, if something goes wrong, you're done. ”

Gonggong Xu saw things very thoroughly and clearly, if the crown prince Li Haochen could successfully ascend the throne and become the next emperor, then he would naturally follow him. Even if the crown prince didn't like him that much, he would at least be able to mix up a good rank.

Li Haochen didn't think so, although he didn't like his father, he also fantasized about his father's sudden death because of Ning Qiuyue's affairs, and he successfully ascended the throne and had the supreme right.

But when he really heard the news, his heart was sad. An indescribable father-son affection soared.

He wanted to see his father, and he hoped it was all wrong.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't be stunned here. Let's go and get ready. ”

Gonggong Xu tried his best to pull the prince out, he knew better than anyone else that the crown prince Li Haochen was an idiot with no ability, and his position as prince was shaky from the beginning. Although there is no prince who can compete with him for the throne among the harem concubines now, there are no traitors among the ministers of the former dynasty who want to take advantage of the chaos to overthrow the rule of the Great Hui Dynasty.

In addition, the war on the border has not subsided for a long time, and internal and external troubles are actually quite delicate and dangerous.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can't hesitate any longer......"

Call.

Empress Wu Yashi was rescued by Gonggong Wei, and she eased up in one breath.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that flashed through her mind was: protect the prince!

Empress Wu Ya and Gonggong Xu had the same thoughts.

Emperor Zhao died, the new emperor was not established, and the government and the opposition were bound to usher in a period of turmoil.

Political struggles are often very cruel, and Empress Wu Yashi is deeply touched by this.

From the day she entered the palace and became the queen, there was not a single day in her life that was comfortable.

Once because of the minister's protection, the crown prince Li Haochen barely kept his position as the crown prince.

And since Emperor Zhao launched an anti-corruption campaign, the imperial court has actually begun to be in turmoil.

Those powerful and high-ranking officials have used the banner of anti-corruption to purge dissidents.

During this period, he murdered many court loyalists, including Du Zitian's father.

This time Emperor Zhao died, maybe those ministers who were accustomed to doing evil things would do something unexpected in order to continue to consolidate their position.

So the first thing the queen said when she woke up was: "Father-in-law Wei, you go quickly, go and inform Li Yan's guards and let him personally protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Empress Wu Yashi transferred her personal escort to Li Haochen, the purpose of which was to ensure Li Haochen's safety.

"Yes, Queen." Duke Wei was ordered to retreat.

Just as he was leaving, he gave Gonggong Xu a special look.

That means as if to say: What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and escort the prince back to the prince's palace.

Grandpa Xu is helpless, doesn't he want to do this? Obviously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to cooperate.

When Empress Wu Yashi saw that the crown prince was still standing here, she was almost angry.

immediately yelled at Father-in-law Xu: "What are you eating!" Don't know what to do in this situation? ”

Gonggong Xu was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground.

He was originally a person cultivated in the queen's palace, and he had studied the queen's temper very thoroughly.

He and Grandpa Wei are also old friends. Because of the recommendation of Father-in-law Wei, he had the opportunity to come to the crown prince and become the chief eunuch serving the prince.

He knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he also knew why the queen scolded him like this.

"Queen Mother, the slave is ......"

Concubine Xiao saw it very clearly, and she couldn't blame Gonggong Xu for this matter.

Li Haochen's stubborn donkey temper she already knew.

Although he is an idiot, his intellectual ability is not very good, but this does not mean that he is very soft and temperamental.

On the contrary, Li Haochen's temper is not small many times.

Once it was something he had decided, ten horses could not be pulled back.

Concubine Xiao stepped forward and said to the crown prince Li Haochen, "What are you still doing standing here?" Don't hurry up and go back with Grandpa Xu. Could it be that you want to upset your mother again? ”

Concubine Xiao's words were soft, but with some force.

grasped it just right, which could not only make Li Haochen listen to it, but also not provoke the disgust of Queen Wu Ya's family.

Sure enough, Li Haochen understood.

The most important thing for him now is to ascend the throne, as long as he can ascend the throne smoothly, all problems can be solved.

Whether it was Ning Qiuyue's matter or Concubine Rui's matter, he could solve it according to his own wishes.

It couldn't have been more perfect for him.

Therefore, Gonggong Xu's approach is right, and Concubine Xiao's advice is also right.

As the crown prince, he should indeed go back and stay at this moment, and An An waited for the eunuchs to come and announce his succession to the throne.

"Father-in-law Xu." Li Haochen said to Gonggong Xu.

"The minions are here."

"Let's go back."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Amitabha, blessed by the Bodhisattva, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally figured it out.

Gonggong Xu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, which was a short sigh of relief.

It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay, God will definitely bless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne smoothly.
