"But you have to look for it carefully. After all, this is not a trivial matter. If it is taken away by someone with intentions, it will lead to a big disaster." King An expressed concern on the surface, but in fact, his face was filled with happiness.
It's almost overflowing.
"You go back first, I will send someone to help you search for it, but there is no way to find me.
"I understand. Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will leave now."
"Well, let's go down."
After Gao Zhan left, King An took out the jade seal again and looked at it carefully. He felt that he was about to burst with joy.
"Hahahahahaha, I have this, what else do I need?" King An was completely immersed in his own world, completely unaware of whether the dragon on the jade seal had five claws or four claws.
"Feng Minyi, you would never have imagined that I will become the emperor, hahahahahahaha." King An felt that he was going crazy with joy.
Throughout the night, King An didn't fall asleep holding Yuxi in his arms.
The second day.
King An went to the emperor's palace again, but this time he was not looking for the emperor, but Gao Zhan.
"Meet the prince." Gao Zhan gave a simple salute.
"The prince looked for the old slave today, but found him?" Gao Zhan continued to ask.
"No." King An said, of course. "I came here this time to talk to you about this matter. I sent people to look for it last night, but they haven't found it yet. Besides, if the jade seal is lost, it is considered a disaster."
It’s such a big thing, I can’t go looking for it in a big way.”
Gao Zhan was stunned when he heard King An's excuse. He didn't send anyone to look for him last night. Now he had to say that he looked for it himself but couldn't find it.
Gao Zhan couldn't help but feel a little speechless, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to pretend to agree with Wang An's point of view: "I understand, thank you for your hard work, Lord."
King An didn't hear the implication of Gao Zhan at all. He was just immersed in the joy of getting the jade seal when the emperor couldn't wake up. Now like this, he doesn't even usurp the throne. It's logical that there are a few ministers in the court.
Will you be dissatisfied?
"I, the king, will go to see the emperor again." Prince An then went to see the emperor again.
At night, Gao Zhan asked a Taoist priest to be invited and asked, "Master, help me choose an auspicious day."
This master didn't understand the undercurrents in the palace, so he just did the math according to the task assigned to him by King An.
The reply was: "Reporting to the prince, the eighth day of next month is a good day. There are no taboos and everything is suitable."
"Okay! Let's do it at the beginning of next month. Rewards! Big rewards!" King An grinned almost to the back of his ears.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
King An temporarily set the date to the eighth day of next month. It was already too late to ascend the throne on the eighth day of next month. During this period, King An also asked Shangyi Pavilion to customize a dragon robe for him.
There may not even be enough time.
King An has now been completely dazzled by the pleasure of being about to ascend to the throne. He can't care about anything now and only thinks about his glory after ascending the throne.
However, Gao Zhan's spy who was placed next to King An had already reported everything that King An had just done to Gao Zhan and the emperor.
In the emperor's palace.
"See Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao."
"No gift."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, today King An asked a Taoist priest outside the palace to calculate his days."
"Oh?" The emperor was a little confused, "What day is it?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, I dare not say anything." The little eunuch lowered his head even lower.
"Is there anything you don't dare to say? It's okay to just say it." The emperor had already guessed something, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was... King An said... about the day when he ascended the throne." The little eunuch was forced by the emperor's stern eyes to speak hesitantly.
But there was no rage as imagined.
The emperor's face was calm, which made the young eunuch admire him greatly. He was unfazed by honor and disgrace, and he was worthy of being an emperor.
He couldn't help but want to give the emperor a thumbs up in his heart. This is the magnanimity of a king.
At night, the emperor wrote a letter and asked Gao Zhan to hand it over to the secret guard and pass it on to Feng Minyi.
After Feng Minyi received the letter, it was a piece of white paper. Feng Minyi dripped tea onto the letter bit by bit, and slowly a line of words appeared.
This is a kind of paper unique to the palace, and it is written with a specific ink, so it has this effect.
"Yier, the situation is critical. To make a long story short, King An has obtained the fake jade seal, marked the date, and is preparing to ascend the throne on the eighth day of next month. Wang Yiyao was arrested and placed under house arrest in Jingren Palace with the Queen."
Feng Minyi read the letter and gradually fell into deep thought.
King An will ascend the throne on the eighth day of the next month. According to Wang Yiyao's previous letter, King An's poison has reached the mid-to-late stage. The poison will develop whether it is administered or not, but it will take longer.
I just don’t know if King An can survive until the eighth day of next month.
Feng Minyi continued to train his troops every day. He was afraid that if Wang Yiyao's plan failed, King An would not be poisoned, and in the end he would have to rely on force to solve the problem.
Time passed with An Wang looking forward to it day after day.
Wang Yiyao still kept company with the queen every day, waiting for King An to fall and Feng Minyi to rescue them. However, the emperor continued to pretend to be ill every day, and King An was busy arranging for his enthronement every day.
So much so that I don't care if my body feels strange, just think it's because I've been too tired these past few days.
After the imperial doctor came over to check, there were no results. He just said that it might be because he was too tired in the past few days and asked An Wang to pay more attention to rest every day. He prescribed some soothing tonics for An Wang.
But no one knew that this tonic conflicted with the poison in Wang An's body, and the poison was released earlier, and Wang An finally fell ill.
Just when King An was handling state affairs and reviewing memorials as regent, he suddenly felt dizzy. He thought it was just like before, but he was just too tired. After taking a sip of tea, he fainted.
On the ground.
The little eunuch serving next to King An was so frightened that he shouted tremblingly: "Come here quickly, call the imperial doctor, your majesty has fainted."
The whole palace was in chaos for a while, and the imperial doctors rushed over to check King An's pulse. After discussion among several imperial doctors, they came to the conclusion that King An was poisoned, and the poisoning was severe.
Before King An woke up, Princess An ran over after hearing the news.
"Get out of my way, Your Highness, what happened? Why did you suddenly faint?"
"An older imperial physician replied: "Reporting to the princess, after the treatment by my subordinates, the result is that Your Highness has been poisoned, and the poison has been deep into the spleen."
After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly.
"What do you mean? Do you mean that the prince is hopeless?" Princess An asked loudly while crying.
"Reporting to the princess, I have never seen this kind of poison before. Moreover, the prince has been poisoned for a long time, and the poison has penetrated into the blood and internal organs. Even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, there may be nothing he can do." The imperial doctor was also helpless.
