King De seemed to be unable to see the ugly expression on the old emperor's face. He looked scornful and sneered, "When the emperor asked me to support you, have you forgotten all the things you promised?"

The old emperor gritted his teeth and retorted, "Yes! I allow you to establish the edict and pass it on to you, but I also said that there is a prerequisite. King De, you must kill Rong Chu first!"

King De said coldly, "It is not easy to kill Rong Chu. Besides, how do I know if the emperor will kill Rong Chu after the incident is completed?"

The old emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he still endured it.

Because none of the people he sent out to lobby the vassal kings and garrison generals who held military power in the past were successful.

Everyone avoids him like a snake and a scorpion, but he still has revenge to take, and he will never tolerate Rong Chu stealing what belongs to him!

The old emperor knew very well that except King De, no one could use him now.

"Then what do you want?" The old emperor's thoughts were racing, his face darkened, and he asked with cold eyes.

"My king, as I just said, the imperial edict to pass on the throne and the jade seal of the country must also be handed over to me!" King De crossed his arms and looked at the old emperor sideways from the corners of his eyes.

The old emperor suddenly widened his eyes, showing resentment in his eyes, "You——"

But within a short moment, he lowered his head in despair again.

"Okay! I can draw up the edict to pass on the throne, but I can't give it to you now!" The old emperor gritted his teeth and said.

King De frowned. He also understood that the old emperor was suspicious and never trusted anyone. Now that he can make concessions, he may have really reached a dead end.

Therefore, King De didn't insist anymore. Since his goal was achieved, it didn't really matter whether he could get the jade seal passed down from the country.

"Then please ask the emperor to draft the edict quickly!" King De stared at the old emperor handwriting the edict that was handed down to him, and then watched with his own eyes as the imperial seal was imprinted, and then a satisfied smile appeared in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to protect the Emperor!" King De smiled and put away the edict.

However, after the old emperor heard this, he rolled his sleeves angrily and said sternly, "Within a month, I want to see Rong Chu's head on his neck!"

"I will leave first!" King De just smiled and said nothing more.

When the old emperor saw King De retreating, he ignored his words at all. He couldn't help but become so angry that he rolled his eyes and almost fainted from anger.

"Cough cough cough..." The old emperor felt something was blocked in his heart, and his ugly face suddenly turned red. He covered his mouth and coughed desperately while shouting, "Here comes someone!"

However, it was deserted outside the door, and he didn't see anyone coming in after waiting for a long time.

"Jade Concubine! Jade Concubine!" The old emperor got up and staggered towards the door.

Since escaping from the palace, most of the eunuchs and maids have already fled, and the remaining ones have to serve more than 20 masters.

Empress Dowager Cao suffered another stroke three months ago. Now she is lying down unable to move. She needs three or four people to take care of her alone. There are simply not enough manpower.

In addition to a personal eunuch, the old emperor is now served by a palace maid.

However, his health, which was barely maintained by pills, was getting worse and worse, and he would faint frequently, so even Concubine Jade had to help serve him.

This also made the old emperor hate Rong Chu even more.

He felt that everything he was suffering now was caused by Rong Chu, and he must kill Rong Chu at all costs!

However, the old emperor called for a long time, but no Concubine Jade came in. The outside of his door was deserted, not even a person was seen.

The old emperor was so angry and anxious that he rolled his eyes and fainted without taking a breath.

At this time, Feng Qier, who was nowhere to be found by the old emperor, was in a courtyard in the west wing. She had bright red lips and was lying softly and bonelessly in the arms of a young man, panting.

It was obvious that he had just experienced ups and downs.

The person holding Feng Qier was clearly the Crown Prince Rong Jiang Yi.

"Your Highness, what are your plans?" Feng Qier rubbed circles on Rong Jiangyi's chest with her fingers, her face flushed but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

"Did you really hear with your own ears that the old man drafted the edict of passing the throne to King De?" Rong Jiangyi half-leaned on his bed, with a sinister look in his soft eyes.

"It's absolutely true!" Feng Qier said hurriedly, "King De said that he would agree to King Qin because the old guy promised to pass the throne to him! He has also been forcing the old guy to hand over the imperial seal!"

"Damn it!" Hearing this, Rong Jiangyi punched the wooden board, and his originally handsome face instantly turned ferocious.

"Your Highness, if the old guy really passes the throne to King De, then your Highness will be the crown prince..." Feng Qier was worried.

She was framed by Feng Jingluan to marry a fool's corpse and was buried underground. Later, Li Lanying, who was beside the Queen Mother, rescued her.

However, although Li Lanying was an eunuch, her heart was not dead.

After rescuing her, he played with her, trained her, and taught her, asking her to learn various charm techniques, enter the palace to confuse the emperor, and then persuade the emperor to kill Rong Chu.

Feng Qier also found out later that Li Lanying had been bribed by Beijin. He was a spy stationed by Beijin in Daqian.

At that time, Feng Qier wanted to take revenge and killed Feng Jingluan, and she didn't care who she was doing it for.

Moreover, Rong Chu's disregard for her also made her angry and resentful, which is why so many things happened later.

However, Feng Qier never expected that the old emperor would be so useless!

As a result, not only did he fail to kill Rong Chu and Feng Jingluan, but he became a bereaved dog himself, and now the throne is in danger.

She couldn't count on Beijin, not to mention that once it was known that she was a spy for Beijin, her life would definitely not be saved.

However, Feng Qier had already borrowed the prince's help to kill Li Lanying when she escaped from the palace. Now she is not worried about what she has done being known.

However, she had to make plans in advance.

"Humph, that old guy is getting more and more stupid as he gets older. He actually believed that King De would still do things for him after receiving the edict!" Rong Jiangyi said angrily.

"However, the old guy did not give the imperial seal to King De. King De must still have some concerns, right?" Feng Qier frowned.

"King De is the most cautious person. The current leader of Daqian is Rong Chu, and he sees it better than anyone else. I think he will agree to King Qin, and he must have other purposes!" Rong Jiangyi stood up and narrowed his eyes.

.

"Then what should we do now?" Feng Qier now only has Rong Jiangyi to rely on, and she has to hold on tight to him.

She knew that Rong Jiangyi had secretly cultivated some forces. Even if he could not become emperor, he could still protect himself if he wanted to.

Rong Jiangyi sneered, "Father is really old and confused. I am still the prince, but he passed the throne to someone else! Huh, if that's the case, then don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and son!"

"Your Highness wants to..." Feng Qier's eyes flashed with hesitation.

Rong Jiangyi took a look at her, and a bloodthirsty cruelty suddenly flashed through his feminine eyes.

Even Feng Qier, whose hands were also stained with blood, felt frightened by the look in his eyes.

…

The war finally started, and Rong Chu ordered General Fu to lead one hundred thousand troops to fight against the army led by King De.

Although King De has 30,000 troops, it stands to reason that with King De's ability, he would have no problem holding on for a month or two in this natural mountainous area.

However, what surprised everyone was that, in addition to the fact that King De's army fought a few decent battles in the first few days, suddenly, it seemed that just overnight, including King De, his army

Tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

This news immediately reached the ears of the old emperor who still had high hopes for King De in Linqing City.

It was early in the morning, before dawn, and the old emperor was still asleep when he was suddenly shaken awake by the eunuch beside him.

When the old emperor heard that all of King De's troops had disappeared and that Rong Chu's army was about to rush in, he rolled his eyes on the spot, became so angry and frightened that he almost suffered a stroke like the Empress Dowager Cao.

In the end, the eunuch carried the old emperor and ran away desperately.

Although General Fu could not figure out King De's intentions, victory without a fight was considered a victory.

However, when General Fu led his troops into the old emperor's residence, he found that the house was already empty.

However, perhaps the old emperor fled too quickly and did not even have time to take away the imperial seal.

General Fu's trip was finally worthwhile.

Three days later, the Imperial City.

In the palace, in the royal study, Rong Chu held the jade seal passed down from the country, and gently stroked the lines on the jade seal with his slender white jade fingers, his phoenix eyes narrowed with cold light, and he did not make a sound for a long time.

"Your Majesty, since you have obtained the imperial seal, you should ascend the throne as soon as possible!" Qi Xiang said from the side.

"Yes, Your Majesty, a country cannot live without a king for a day. That old guy spread rumors everywhere but failed. Now he is a lost dog. Public opinion in the world is also on His side. Why are you still hesitating?" General Fu?

And several generals are advising.

Rong Chu raised his eyelashes, his eyes were filled with light, and he couldn't see his emotions, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Within a moment, Rong Chu's voice sounded, "Pass the Qin Heavenly Supervisor to the Supervisor!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Qi and others were all overjoyed.

Soon, the Qin Tian Jian had chosen an auspicious day, the sixth day of the next month, for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

At the same time, due to Rong Chu's insistence, his coronation ceremony will also be held on the same day.

There is less than a month left before the day of enthronement, and everything is being stepped up to prepare.

But for Mu Ning, she was in a daze because she couldn't imagine that she would become the queen.

However, while in a daze, Mu Ning felt a little repelled by this matter.

Because she was worried that once Rong Chu really became the emperor, it would be impossible for this huge harem to remain empty, right?

At that time, if he wants to recruit a concubine, what should she do?
