The late emperor of Western Chu stipulated that if the emperor died suddenly and there was no imperial edict to pass the throne, the eunuchs beside the emperor and the ministers on duty in the Internal Affairs Department would have the right to draft a will.
Because of this, Bailiyuan was given an opportunity to take advantage of.
Lin Chu frowned: "If we can control the Nine Cities Military and Horse Division and the Imperial Forbidden Army again, we will be able to control everything inside and outside the capital city and the palace. At dawn, all the officials can only pay homage to the new king."
"kindness."
Lin Zhi's eyes were as dark as stars.
"The Tiger Talisman at the Xishan Camp in Gyeonggi Province has always been in charge of Grand Sima, and the imperial guards in the inner court are all Baili Yunsheng's confidants. Li Xiu, the eunuch who holds the pen next to the emperor, was personally selected to be placed beside the emperor when the emperor ascended the throne as regent of Bailiyuan when he was young.
confidant."
"As for the ministers on duty in the six departments of the Internal Affairs Department, I'm afraid most of them are Bailiyuan's disciples."
Lin Zhi's voice was as cold as ice for a moment.
Lin Chuqian pursed her lips and was speechless for a long time.
The situation is not optimistic, and Baili Yuan's usurpation of the throne seems to be a matter of course. The only variable is Baili Mingshuang!
"Sect Master Lin, it's not good!"
The sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the inner room, and Aunt Kang was out of breath as she ran: "Your Highness... you have no breath!"
"What?"
This sound was nothing less than thunder on the ground.
Lin Zhi stood up suddenly. Even though he was always as steady as a rock, he was shocked by the words he just heard.
He has been working tirelessly these past few days to ensure that the fetus is born safely. If Baili Mingshuang gave birth to a stillborn fetus, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Just wait a minute, I'll go take a look."
Lin Chu was the first to block his way.
Lin Zhi frowned and looked at her: "Be careful in everything, if there is nothing you can do to save yourself, I just want you to be safe."
Lin Chu's heart warmed: "Okay."
The smell of blood in the inner hall was overwhelming. Baili Mingshuang's clothes were soaked with sweat on the bed. She was already exhausted and almost fainted. However, she held on for a while and stared at Duan Mulang beside the bed with her blood-red eyes.
Duanmulang held a swaddling baby in his arms, his face full of sadness.
The palace maid and eunuch knelt on the ground, their bodies like chaff. Even Mrs. Yu, who was accustomed to big scenes, seemed to be panicking.
"emperor!"
Baili Mingshuang took a deep breath and struggled to get up: "I am guilty, I am a concubine..."
"What is Ming Shuang's crime?"
After a long time, Duanmulang finally sighed heavily: "I am not lucky. After all, my fate with this child is too shallow."
"No!"
Baili Mingshuang shed tears like rain: "If it weren't for my whims and misuse of medicine, I would not have harmed the emperor... I deserve death for my crime. Please punish me!"
Before she could finish her words, she lifted off the thin blanket covering her body, and half of her body fell on the edge of the bed.
"Empress!"
Aunt Kang rushed over quickly, knelt down at her feet, and held her body tightly: "You just gave birth to the prince, you must not see the wind."
"Mommy, please let go." Baili Mingshuang shook her head helplessly: "I am the sinner of Xi Chu, and it is all my fault."
"emperor."
Aunt Kang turned around and kowtowed to Duan Mulang like pounding garlic.
"Every mistake is my fault. I failed to take good care of your Majesty and the Prince. Your Majesty's body is so weak now that she can no longer withstand the blow. Please spare me, Your Majesty. I will bear all the blame alone."
"Today's matter...no one can bear it."
Duanmulang took a deep breath and slowly raised his eyes from his swaddling clothes: "Everyone in Changxin Palace listens to the order."
Everyone's body trembled, and everyone trembled with fear.
It was a huge scandal for the queen to give birth to a stillborn child. But if they knew about this scandal, could they still survive?
There was mourning all over the Changxin Palace. Everyone's bodies were like chaff, but no one dared to sob.
