He knew it, but... Xuanyuan Ci couldn't believe it was true, thinking that the emperor just said it casually, or was using the abdication to test some people.
Of course, Yan Que also told him this.
Emperor Xuanyuan was still hesitating whether he should abdicate at this time, but when he saw Xuanyuan Ci being so decisive for Yan Que, he couldn't help but sigh. Therefore, he was even more sure that the issue of his abdication should be put forward very early.
"So, my father wants to do everything that needs to be done while he still has the power, so as not to leave any regrets."
Xuanyuan Ci understood immediately.
My father wanted to make things perfect for him and Yan Que.
"Yan Que is already married. You can't be single all your life. Even if your father doesn't say anything, those old guys in the court will find something to do for you."
The emperor put his powerful relationship in front of Xuanyuan Ci, because that was how he came to be.
When Xuanyuan Ci heard this, he was startled: "Father, no."
"I know you don't want it, so I'm going to let you observe filial piety."
"Keep filial piety? To whom?" Xuanyuan Ci did not turn around.
The emperor glared at him with hatred: "Just give it to me."
"Father, are you going to die?" He was so shocked that he almost lost his mind.
"..."
Why did his son behave like this? Emperor Xuanyuan looked up to the sky and was speechless.
After trying many times, I calmly explained to him: "After I announced my abdication, in the following month, I will release news to the outside world that I have contracted a serious illness and will die soon."
"……So this is ah."
"Do you think I'm really going to die?" I really wanted to slap him.
Xuanyuan Ci didn't dare to speak, so he could only nod his head.
"Your two brothers are already married, so I have decided to ask you to guard the imperial mausoleum and observe filial piety for me. During this period, you should not be flirtatious with women. Even if those old officials are suspicious, I am afraid they will not let you marry again."
If arranged in this way, Xuanyuan Ci is equal to half a monk.
But for Xuanyuan Ci, this is a supreme grace.
"Thank you, Father, thank you, Father..."
…
The emperor returned to the palace and wanted to have a good rest, but Ge Zida stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
The emperor stood up and asked: "What did Lao Qi do?"
Ge Zida replied: "Just now, Qin Nian, the personal bodyguard of the Seventh Prince, came to the palace and said that the Seventh Prince accidentally injured his waist while riding a horse today and will not be able to attend court early tomorrow."
"I'll go take a look."
The emperor drove to Xuanyuansi's mansion without stopping.
…
The atmosphere in Prince Si's Mansion was tense and depressing. Yan Buhuan stood outside the door, the noisy man above his head felt dizzy.
At this time, the door opened and Yan Hui walked out with a calm expression.
Yan Buhuan hurriedly greeted him: "Father, is he okay?"
Yan Hui glanced at her: "What do you think?"
Yan Buhuan vaguely felt that the situation was not optimistic.
"What happened?"
"The Seventh Prince has been poisoned. It is a chronic poison that will not kill you, but will cause your body to become increasingly exhausted." Yan Hui said word for word.
Yan Buhuan was completely dumbfounded.
The heart was beating hard.
How could this happen?
Didn’t Xuanyuan Si say everything was fine that night?
Because she did not have any good impression of Xuanyuan Si, she did not take it seriously on the day of the assassination and simply reported it to Yan Hui. However, she did not expect that her selfishness would lead to such a serious crime.
Xuanyuan Si was poisoned by a strange poison. This poison would not kill him, but would eat away at his vitality.
Because time has been delayed, there is no way to recover.
