"A Cheng, what are you talking about?" The queen looked at him with confusion and shock.
Yan Cheng did not answer, but only glanced back. The guards of the East Palace rushed in and surrounded the Zichen Palace inside and outside.
"A Cheng!"
Yan Cheng walked inside by himself and said as he walked: "Don't be surprised, mother, my father left a secret message in private, and he would send me a message if he was in danger. Just now, the secret message suddenly appeared, saying that my father's condition had changed, and he asked me to take someone with him.
Come and guard - it looks like something has indeed happened!"
This is such a perfect rhetoric. He was sent to rescue her, and he didn't break into the palace gate without any reason.
But the queen knew how ridiculous these words were. Emperor Mingde left a hidden clue for Yan Cheng, but did not tell her at all who he was guarding against. Zichen Palace was her palace, so who was he targeting when he brought troops here like this?
She couldn't believe that this was what Yan Cheng said. She seemed to have never known this son before.
Yan Cheng had already walked to the door of the inner room. Emperor Ming De was lying on the bed as he had during the day, surrounded by a group of imperial doctors.
He winked, and the guards of the East Palace rushed in unceremoniously and pulled the frightened doctors out.
The inner room suddenly vacated, Yan Cheng sat down and said to the people behind him: "Go and take a look."
The accompanying doctor from the East Palace agreed and went to the bedside to take his pulse.
"What on earth are you doing?" The Queen was anxious, "The imperial doctor is treating your father, don't delay his condition!"
Yan Cheng was unmoved and asked someone to stop her and not let her get close.
The imperial doctor checked his pulse, turned around and shook his head gently.
Yan Cheng's eyes flashed and he opened his mouth to ask: "Mr. Li, how is your father's condition?"
Imperial Physician Li bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty is eating improperly and has lost the effect of the medicine."
"is it serious?"
Doctor Li sighed: "Your Majesty is exhaling too much and inhaling too little. His pulse is too weak to detect. I'm afraid..."
"Can it be saved?"
Doctor Li immediately knelt down and said, "I am incompetent."
Yan Cheng wiped his face and looked sad: "No matter what, if you take another look, if you really can't save him, you have to let your father go in peace."
"yes."
The queen couldn't believe what she heard and scolded: "What are you talking about? Your father did take the medicine, but not to this extent. You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Cheng's expression suddenly changed and he asked sternly: "Mother, you are the one who takes care of my father. When I came here yesterday, the imperial doctor gave me many instructions to be careful when eating, and never to drink too much."
Due to the properties of the medicine, why do such accidents still occur?”
In the queen's heart, Yan Cheng has always been a filial child. She had never seen him like this before, and she couldn't help being stunned.
Yan Cheng looked at her coldly: "You fed my father something he shouldn't have eaten, right?"
The queen was angry: "A Cheng, are you crazy? You actually framed your mother?!" But the situation of Emperor Mingde made her temporarily suppress her anger, "We will talk about this later, it is more important to save your father first."
But Yan Cheng did not give her this chance. The imperial doctors were all restrained by the guards of the East Palace, and even the queen herself was blocked by the palace guards. Seeing Emperor Mingde lying there alone, the silver needle on his body was blocked by a
Once unplugged.
The queen was shocked and shouted: "Do you know what you are doing? That is your father! He cultivated you, loved you, and left you his lifelong inheritance, and you actually want to harm him!"
"What mother said is wrong." Yan Cheng glanced over, "Weren't you the one who harmed my father? Just because he wanted to leave his lifelong inheritance to me, you can't sit still..."
Seeing the queen's face becoming more and more shocked, he smiled slightly: "Of course, you have given me a good life anyway, so I have to help you take care of this reputation. Well, my father shouldn't have suffered because of your negligence.
What you ate, you suffered a sudden illness and died suddenly. You blamed yourself too much, so you committed suicide by hanging..."
Following his words, the queen swayed and all the color drained from her face.
"You..." In the short time since Yan Cheng led the troops, her world had collapsed. The flowers on her face were torn to pieces, revealing the malignant sores underneath.
"A Cheng, how could you become like this? How could your father and I be so sorry to you that you want to do this?"
Facing the empress's sorrowful face, Yan Cheng found that he didn't have any fluctuations. Maybe this was his true appearance. Previously, he was always struggling in his heart, which actually made things difficult for himself.
"Mother, are you still pretending to be stupid now? Or, are you really my mother?"
The queen met his gaze and her pupils instantly tightened: "You..."
Yan Cheng laughed: "Why, you didn't expect me to know? You have raised other people's sons as your own for more than 20 years, are you quite touched by yourself?" His face suddenly darkened, and his eyes seemed to be condensed.
Under the dark clouds of the storm, every word that came out of my mouth fell like ice particles, "But if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to be separated from my mother, and she wouldn't have to die in depression and die young! This is what you owe us, mother and son!"
The queen was in disbelief: "What have you heard? Liu Wuniang made it up for you, right? Don't you know how I have treated you in the past twenty years? You actually believe her provocative words?!"
Yan Cheng let out a long breath, leaned back on the chair, and said calmly: "I knew you would say that. But if you don't feel bad, will you let me take the title of eldest son? Will you let my father do it?
Do you want me to be your heir apparent? Are you willing to let your father pass the throne to me? Who will believe you if you tell me!"
The queen opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to refute. She just felt that this matter was ridiculous and like a joke.
Yan Cheng looked at her more and more indifferently: "You are like you, who harm your friends, steal your husband, and force others to separate their flesh and blood. Are you worthy of being my mother?"
"Ha!" The queen really laughed now, feeling indescribable sadness and pain, but still carrying the last hope, "A Cheng, I have raised you for more than twenty years, is this how you miss me? Liu
Do you believe whatever Wu Niang says? Don’t you ask me what the truth is?"
Yan Cheng was unmoved: "What's there to ask? My mother has been dead for so many years. Even if you make it up, where can I verify it? After tonight, the truth won't matter anymore."
"A Cheng!" Looking at the child raised by her own hands, the queen still didn't want to give up. "Don't believe what others say. If you want to know the truth, neither I nor your father can tell you. Just turn around."
!Don’t do anything you’ll regret!”
Yan Cheng didn't want to hear any more. He stood up slowly and planned to call the guards in.
The matter has already reached this point. If the news leaks out any longer, he will be the one who loses his life. On the contrary, as long as he settles the matter in Zichen Palace in time and confirms that the emperor died unexpectedly and the queen committed suicide due to guilt, then as the prince
He is the legitimate new king. No one can question the legitimacy of his succession, even if Yan Ling comes back, there is nothing he can do.
He still wanted to thank Mr. Dong. If it weren't for the name of his eldest son, how could it be so easy today?
Yan Cheng put aside his words: "Let's do it."
There are not many words, but the emotions are not easy to pile up. This plot is over as soon as it is written.
