Chapter 189 The Crown Prince's Succession Is Really Impossible
"It was King An who coaxed the prince to drink the sewage in which dead snakes were soaked when he was young. The prince was frightened and fell off the rockery in the imperial garden. Later, the prince had a high fever and Prince An took it under the guise of visiting a doctor.
He carried a dead snake to scare the prince, saying that if the prince told the emperor and the imperial physician, a snake would come out of the prince's belly and bite him to death."
"The prince was young at that time, only six years old. He couldn't withstand the threats, so... he fell ill. Later, he had high fevers repeatedly, which became the root cause of the disease."
By the time he finished speaking, Hua Zimo was already bursting into tears.
Before he was ten years old, he saw that the prince suffered too much torture and lived in a nightmare all day long, full of troubles and fears.
Although the prince's condition improved a lot after he turned ten, he would feel particularly uncomfortable every time he saw a snake or Prince An, and in severe cases, he would even get sick.
After hiding his illness for so many years, he was finally able to reveal it to his mouth at this moment. Hua Zimo felt aggrieved and sad at the same time.
He didn't know if he wanted to be happy for the prince. The prince had been carrying a secret for so long. He never dared to say it, then he didn't want to mention it, and now he mustered up the courage to face this past... This seemed to have become a way to sharpen the prince's heart.
threshold.
Since the last time, the prince took the opportunity to let the emperor see the true face of the other three princes, he thought that this matter would become a secret in the prince's heart forever. Who knew that it would be dug out and made available to the emperor for reading.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and Emperor Shunyuan slapped his palm on the table.
Everyone was shocked and quickly knelt down.
Suddenly I heard the eldest princess exclaiming: "Father..."
Everyone quickly looked up and saw that the emperor's eyes were bloodshot, his face was ashen, his cheeks were tense, but his mouth was trembling all the time, as if he was trying his best to endure something?
When Sun Yuan saw this, he secretly said something bad, but before he could say anything, he saw the emperor raised his head and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
After the sound of "Puff.", everyone shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
But Emperor Shunyuan was so angry that he suddenly fainted.
There was a chaos in the Qinzheng Palace, but little did they know that Emperor Shunyuan's mouthful of blood also cleared away a lot of the toxins accumulated recently, and his symptoms gradually stabilized.
The eldest princess had to take care of both the emperor and the prince. She stayed up all night and was exhausted physically and mentally.
After dawn, the emperor woke up and summoned all the ministers to discuss matters in the Qinzheng Hall. The prince stayed in the inner hall to recuperate and did not move to the East Palace.
The eldest princess took the opportunity to return to the princess's residence. Nanny Lu waited anxiously all night. She knew that both the emperor and the prince were sick, and she felt uneasy.
She said to the eldest princess: "Have you not checked the food, spices, and clothes?"
The eldest princess shook her head and said: "I have always been here, but I am fine. The food is tested by the palace staff first, and the spices are all prepared by Li Defu himself. There is no problem."
After hearing this, Grandma Lu became even more uneasy.
She dismissed her servants and lowered her voice to the eldest princess: "Could someone be practicing witchcraft on the emperor and the prince?"
"The emperor's body is groggy, sometimes awake and sometimes in a trance. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suffered from an old illness, which is coming menacingly."
"His Royal Highness entered the palace to have dinner and talk with the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince. He was also accompanied by the servants from the Qinzheng Palace and the East Palace. Why are the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince the only ones who suddenly feel unwell?"
"When we were in Wuxi, Madam Wang once said that some people are tired of controlling people through the art of winning..."
The eldest princess didn't quite believe this, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt there were a lot of strange things.
For example, if Hui Guifei and Li Defu stay with her father all day long, they will be fine.
She has been staying with her brother, and she is fine.
Not just him, Hua Zimo, Yu Deshui, everyone is fine.
But unfortunately, things happened to the two most important people in the palace one after another.
The eldest princess took a deep breath, her hands holding the chair trembling slightly.
Grandma Lu took the opportunity and said, "How about we write to Madam Wang and see if she can do anything?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess shook her head and said: "No, I'll go to the officials of Qintian Prison to figure it out. Don't disturb Axiu for the time being. She's pregnant now, and she's still far away in Wuxi. We can't count on her for everything."
, this is not good for her health either.”
Grandma Lu was a little disappointed, but she still nodded.
After the eldest princess rested for a while, she offered to accompany her into the palace. The eldest princess knew that she would be worried if she stayed in the palace, so she took her into the palace with her.
Grandma Lu found an opportunity to tell Yu Deshui her speculation in private.
They also said that they had encountered such a thing before in Wuxi, and it was Wang Xiu who solved it at that time. The little girl who was possessed by the evil spirit later got married intact, and she really had no memory of killing people and burying corpses at all.
.
Yu Deshui's hair stood up when he heard it, and he immediately said: "Then write a letter to Madam Wang as soon as possible. We will take the secret route of the East Palace and hurry up for 800 miles. Madam Wang will receive the letter in a few days."
Grandma Lu sighed: "I want to, but the eldest princess is worried about Madam Wang's health and won't let her write."
Yu Deshui said: "Just like I asked the prince for medicine, wouldn't it be good if we asked for a secret recipe or a way to crack it?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm familiar with Madam Wang. I'll take care of this matter."
"This is not only about the health of the Emperor and His Royal Highness, but also the stability of Dayan. Don't say we have doubts. Even if we don't have doubts, it would be good to find another solution."
When Grandma Lu saw that Yu Deshui was willing to come forward, she got what she wanted.
He also asked him to write clearly the cause and effect when writing a letter, so that Wang Xiu would not be unclear and difficult to judge.
Yu Deshui immediately promised to tell the truth, and then parted ways with Grandma Lu.
…
In the palace, Emperor Shunyuan dragged his sick body and summoned Tai Fu Mei Chengwang, Young Fu Wang Wenbai, six ministers and the censor of Duchayuan.
What was being discussed was the crown prince's enthronement.
If he falls into coma again and does not wake up for a day, the prince will immediately ascend the throne and no longer need to wait for his illness at his bedside. He should put the people of the world first.
It has to be said that Emperor Shunyuan's move not only reassured his ministers, but also convinced them that the crown prince's succession was inevitable and there would be no more trouble.
As soon as the news came out, Prince An was furious.
The officials who were originally waiting and watching became cautious at this moment.
The emperor is already looking after an orphan, and the prince may be enthroned years ago. If he wants to die at this time, it is really impossible to support the wall.
Therefore, when King An wanted to summon officials for discussion, many officials quickly declined, and some even broke their legs.
Prince An was furious, but at this time, an imperial edict came from the palace, asking him to enter the palace to wait for his illness.
King Anjun panicked when he heard this, and asked the young eunuch who came to deliver the order: "Are you sure it's me and not another prince?"
The young eunuch was the person next to Li Defu. He smiled and said: "This slave is conveying the emperor's oral instructions. Please invite me."
Prince An also wanted to discuss it with Liao Changfei, but when he looked at Liao Changfei, he saw Liao Changfei lowering his head, as if he hadn't seen him.
Prince An frowned, feeling slightly uncomfortable, but the eunuch happened to say that there could be no delay, and the emperor was still waiting.
In desperation, Prince An followed the young eunuch into the palace without even changing his clothes.
