Just two days after Empress Xu closed the door to thank guests, the palace became particularly lively. The fifteenth prince made quite a fuss this time. He not only beat Prince Zhongyong, but also disabled his third leg.
.
Marquis Zhongyong and his son went to the Jinluan Palace to ask for an explanation. At this moment, there was a lot of commotion in the palace.
When Queen Xu heard the news from the palace maid, she was so happy that she ate a piece of pastry. The emperor originally wanted to send someone to ask Queen Xu to help solve the problem, but he was told that Queen Xu was seriously ill because she missed the eldest prince and could not leave the bed at all.
He also replied to the emperor, saying that since he is the emperor's son, then the emperor can make the decision.
These words made the emperor very angry, but he could not refute it. The queen had been sick in bed for many years because of the loss of energy and blood due to the birth of the fifteenth prince. Now, it is reasonable for the queen to fall ill because of the eldest prince's affairs.
But this time the matter was a bit serious, and the emperor could not calm down the anger of Marquis Zhongyong so that he would not pursue the matter.
That is currently the only son of the Zhongyong Hou family, so this matter cannot be taken over easily.
Just when the emperor was worried, his son was still worried. The emperor had ordered that he be locked up in the palace and not allowed to go out. However, while he was dealing with the matter, the bastard somehow came back.
He ran out, and before the emperor had time to find someone to bring him back, he was sent back.
But it was due to excessive indulgence. When the emperor heard the result, he couldn't accept it and fainted. When the imperial doctor's examination results came out, Empress Xu was a little stunned.
Before she even made a move, this beast was so angry that her son had a stroke.
The emperor fell, and Empress Xu had to come out. Looking at the man with gray temples and a weathered face on the hospital bed, Empress Xu felt indescribable joy in her heart.
Although she was not very happy to marry this man back then, after getting married, she really thought about living a good life with this man.
Her longings and hopes were all shattered by this man. She knew that she had a lot of problems when she became the emperor, but this man was more of a playboy. No, it should be said that he had no heart at all, and even what he did was
Those things are disgusting.
When she learned that he had done such a disgusting thing, the only thing Empress Xu wanted to do was to make those wild women outside the palace childless.
When he forced his eldest son to marry the niece of that shameless wild woman eight years ago, all his disgust for this man reached its peak. When he finally faced him again, he could feel calm.
When she learned that this man was so crazy as to replace her youngest son, she wanted to die with him for a moment.
But she can't, for the sake of her two sons.
The emperor had just fallen ill, and Empress Xu immediately issued an order for the King of Chu to return to the capital. Originally, the fifth prince there had not stopped, but as soon as he learned that the emperor had fallen ill, the seventh prince was also starting to make a move.
However, Empress Xu was not afraid of these. Not only did she have martial arts skills, she was also surrounded by twenty guards given by her grandfather Yin Hang. They were more than enough to protect herself. Others were not important to her.
She was impressed by the seventh prince. His mother-in-law could be regarded as the daughter of a famous family, but the famous family had declined. She didn't know what confidence the seventh prince had to compete for this position.
.
Because of Queen Xu's laissez-faire, the Seventh Prince only took a month to attack the palace on the day Duanmuxu returned to the capital.
The emperor was a little stunned when he saw his son. It had only been a month since he heard that Lao Qi had launched an army. Lao Qi's fiefdom was at least a month's journey from the capital. Why did he come so quickly?
In fact, the answer is clear at a glance. He has already stationed troops to guard it just for this moment.
The queen deliberately asked the seventh prince's mother and concubine to come over these days to take care of her, so that she could catch them all on this day.
Unfortunately, he didn't notice anything wrong until he stood in front of the emperor's bed. However, Concubine Rong, the seventh prince's mother-concubine, noticed something unusual.
It was just the sudden success that made the Seventh Prince go to his head. The position was right in front of him. He had no time to think about anything else. He just put the long sword in his hand on the old emperor's neck: "Father,
I have already written the edict. All I need to do is put the big seal on it. Father, in order not to suffer any more physical pain, I’d better put the big seal on you! You can be the Supreme Emperor like this from now on. Don’t worry, I will
My mother-in-law will take good care of you."
The old emperor watched helplessly as the usually honest and steady seventh prince took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms. The emperor, who had only lost control of half of his body, was so angry that he fainted again.
The seventh prince didn't care whether the old emperor was unconscious or not. He rummaged around on his dragon bed, trying to find the jade seal and put the seal on it himself. However, he rummaged through the entire bed and couldn't find the jade seal passed down from the country.
No one cared about whether the emperor was unconscious or not. At this moment, several people broke in from outside.
Seeing the mother and son like this, Duanmuxu directly ordered someone to arrest them. The imperial doctor hurried over to check. When the old emperor woke up again, his speech had become slanted and his eyes were squinting.
I couldn't even speak, and I kept drooling.
"Yi...yi...this..." After finishing his sentence, everyone around the room couldn't help but get wet with saliva.
Duanmuxu looked at the imperial physician in front of him and asked: "Physician Chen, how is your father's condition?"
"I would like to report to the eldest prince, the emperor's current situation is not optimistic. He just suffered a slight stroke a while ago. He only needed to recover for a period of time, and he would gradually become almost the same as before. But now he is no longer able to do it. In this state, even if he takes a rest for a while,
In two years, it will be impossible to return to the same state as before, and now I can't control my body, even Chu Gong can't control it myself, and I can't be stimulated again. If it happens again, I'm afraid..." Dr. Chen said softly.
He sighed lightly, how could a man who had been the emperor for decades accept his current situation?
Sure enough, as soon as Dr. Chen finished speaking, the emperor on the dragon couch immediately began to struggle excitedly. However, half of his body was out of control. He struggled for a long time but couldn't make a splash. When pressed by the two eunuchs, he was like a dead fish.
, unable to move.
After hearing that the emperor was like this, a dozen officials, mainly Xu Guozhang, gathered in a circle and began to discuss in a low voice. They quickly came to a conclusion: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. Please ask the eldest prince to do it today."
Ascend to the throne and become emperor."
After that, all the ministers in the emperor's palace knelt on the ground and unanimously requested Duanmuxu to ascend the throne as emperor.
The emperor on the bed struggled harder, but even if he was unwilling, he could no longer speak. Now any little eunuch could control him, and it was useless for him to object.
