As Zhao Xuan spoke, he was already walking outside.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Gu Lin asked quickly.

"Go see Father!" Zhao Xuan said without looking back.

"But isn't His Majesty unwilling to see you?"

"Then I'll force my way in!"

Zhao Xuan couldn't wait any longer. He was worried that Gu Lin's guess was correct. If his father died before he couldonize him, everything would be over. It would be very difficult for him to ascend to the throne smoothly.

, when the time comes, all the princes who have ideas for the throne will compete for it, and he may not be able to have the last laugh.

Therefore, he must ascend to the position of prince before his father dies. Only then can he legitimately ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

And if he wants to ascend to the position of prince, he naturally needs to be canonized by his father.

Therefore, he must see his father and ask for this imperial edict from his father!

Gu Lin saw Zhao Xuan walking out quickly, hesitated for a moment, and immediately followed.

The two of them went together to ask for an audience with the old emperor.

When they arrived at the door of the old emperor's palace, the two of them were stopped again. After the eunuch at the door saluted Zhao Xuan, he complained somewhat: "Your Highness, why are you here again?"

Although he was just a eunuch, he was still a eunuch beside the old emperor, and he still had some status in the palace.

"I want to see my father!" Zhao Xuan said straightforwardly.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince, didn't I say what I said before? His Majesty has told me that he will not see anyone without summoning him. You should go back." The eunuch said.

"No, I must see my father today!" Zhao Xuan insisted.

The eunuch frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the First Prince, now is not the time to fool around. Your Majesty is seriously ill and needs to rest. Your behavior will affect His Majesty's recovery and also anger His Majesty."

Hearing that his behavior would anger his father, Zhao Xuan hesitated for a while, but thinking about Gu Lin's speculation before and thinking that he had not been canonized as the prince, Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "As my father's

My son, I am very concerned about my father's condition. Now I want to see how my father is doing. Moreover, my father has not been seen in person, which has also caused a lot of suspicion in the court. If I see my father, I can dispel it.

The suspicion of the ministers."

With that said, Zhao Xuan was about to walk inside.

However, before he had taken two steps, the guard at the door drew his sword and stopped in front of him with a murderous look on his face.

"Anyone who dares to break in will be killed without mercy!"

Zhao Xuan's face turned pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back, with some fear in his eyes.

But thinking about his identity and the purpose of coming here, Zhao Xuan gathered up his courage and said: "Bold slave! You don't even look at my identity! You are just ordinary soldiers. If you hurt me,

Even if you have ten heads, it won’t be enough to chop them off, so get out of my way!”

However, Zhao Xuan's scolding and threats had no effect at all. The guards at the entrance of the hall were not moved at all. They remained like a rock, blocking the entrance of the hall without moving even half a step.

"Your Highness!" The eunuch said again: "This is your majesty's resting place, not your mischief. If your majesty knew that you were misbehaving like this, he would be very angry!"

Zhao Xuan's heart tightened.

Zhao Xuan is still full of fear for his father. Over the years, the old emperor has always been very tough. No matter ministers, princes, or princesses, they are all afraid of him. Zhao Xuan is naturally no exception. If the old emperor

The emperor knew that he was causing such nonsense here and would definitely not let him go.

But Zhao Xuan was a little unwilling to go back like this. After all, he was still worried about whether the old emperor would suddenly die suddenly, so that he would not be able to ascend the throne.

At this time, Gu Lin, who was following, pulled Zhao Xuan and whispered, "Your Highness, let's go back first."

"But......"

"Your Highness, go back first and then talk."

Zhao Xuan looked at the palace gate and the soldiers at the door. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Let's go back."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and Gu Lin quickly followed.

The eunuch at the palace door looked at Zhao Xuan's back, his expression changed, and then he opened the door and entered the palace.

At this time, the situation in the palace was not as tense and dignified as Zhao Xuan, Gu Lin and others had guessed. There was only a faint silence. However, the old emperor, who everyone thought was seriously ill, was sitting on the bed at this time.

He was reading a book on the stool next to him. Although he didn't look too good, he was not seriously ill, but it wasn't serious.

"What happened outside just now?" the old emperor asked calmly, without looking away from the book in his hand.

Obviously, the old emperor was not seriously ill. Everything was just false news about him taking a walk. His physical condition was indeed not good, but it was not seriously ill. He was just a little weak.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the First Prince came just now and said he wanted to see Your Majesty, but he was stopped by the old slave." The eunuch replied respectfully.

"What is he here for?" the old emperor said calmly.

"His Royal Highness the eldest prince said that he is concerned about your majesty's health and wants to come and see your majesty." The eunuch said.

"Hmph! Why didn't I see him caring so much when I was sick before? I just came to see him to see if I had died!" the old emperor snorted coldly.

The old emperor knew his sons very well, and it was precisely because he knew his sons so well that the old emperor felt that none of these princes could inherit his throne, even if he is now

The same goes for the eldest prince whom he arranges to handle political affairs.

The eunuch lowered his head slightly and did not dare to answer.

"What happened next?" the old emperor continued to ask.

"After the old slave stopped the eldest prince, the eldest prince insisted on coming in, but was finally stopped by the guards at the door." The eunuch said truthfully.

"This traitor!" the old emperor said angrily: "You have just been entrusted with an important task, and you don't know who you are? You bastard!"

The old emperor had reason to be angry. He had already announced that he could not see people and needed to rest, but the eldest prince insisted on coming in. This obviously did not take his words to heart, and he had no intention of letting him rest. As for the eldest prince, he insisted on coming in.

The prince insisted on coming in, and it was obviously not as simple as caring about his own body. If he really cared about himself, he should let himself take a good rest at this time.

"Go ahead. No one can come in without my order. If anyone dares to break in again, let the guards outside take action directly!" the old emperor ordered again.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch felt shocked and quickly responded.
