Quickly wear: There are always those who are not afraid of death and want to torture me

After saying this, Cui Yuanjue's hand fell down weakly, his eyes slightly opened, looking in the direction of Mo Qin, motionless.

Emperor Yuchen, a generation of emperors, passed away.

Mo Qin sat on the edge of the bed, maintaining the same posture and looking at the dead Cui Yuanjue for a long, long time.

Before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.

Wipe away the tears, reach out your hand, and gently close the man's eyes.

Then he walked to the table and looked at the incomplete imperial edict.

When I picked up the pen, my hand couldn't help but tremble a little.

Cui Yuanjue's last words were to pass the throne to Cui Yuzhen. This was his final decision.

But if the prince's name is really written, Cui Qiu will never have a chance again.

By then, the queen will become the empress dowager, and Concubine Shu's injustice will never be overturned.The fifth prince will also be labeled as a traitor to the party, and his life or death will be uncertain.

Moreover, even though Mo Qin hated Cui Qiu, he was still Concubine Shu's only son. If he was humiliated to death by the princelings, how could he have the face to see Concubine Shu and tell him that he was actually here to repay her kindness? ?

But if Cui Qiu's name is written...will it really be the right decision?

Mo Qin's heart was filled with conflict between heaven and man.The right hand holding the pen was trembling, but only the word "Cui" was left.

The two choices are wrapped in their own reasons, and personal feelings and justice are constantly competing.

After struggling like this for a quarter of an hour, Mo Qin finally made a decision in his heart.

He took a deep breath, raised his left hand to steady his right arm, and wrote a name imitating Cui Yuanjue's handwriting.

All done in one go, flawlessly.

Mo Qin waited for the ink to dry slowly and thought:

So be it.

Hope this is the right choice.

Just when everyone outside the palace was about to fight and use force to solve the problem, the gate of Qianqing Palace opened.

Mo Qin came out in dignified attire and announced to everyone: "His Majesty has passed away. Before he passed away, he left an imperial edict to pass on the throne. The handwriting on it was all written by His Majesty himself. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to Come check it out!”

After he finished speaking, Li Yuan, who was holding the imperial edict, walked to the steps and read loudly: "The fifth prince Cui Qiu has a noble character and is deeply respected by me. He will definitely be able to inherit the throne. After I ascend the throne, he will be the emperor." , that is, abide by the rules of Yu, hold the service for 27 days, release the service and announce it to China and foreign countries, and the Xian envoys will hear about it. It was November 19th in the [-]th year of Yuchen."

With Li Yuan's high-pitched and sharp voice, the content of the imperial edict was read out in front of all the princes and ministers.

The emperor passed the throne to the fifth prince!

The princelings naturally refused to recognize him. They pointed at Mo Qin and cursed: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince of a country and the eldest son, so he should inherit the throne. The biological mother of the fifth prince is a sinner, and his mother's family is also a rebel. How could His Majesty pass the throne to him! It must be you, a witch, who has deceived the public with your lies and deceived us with false imperial edicts!"

Mo Qin stood there, looking a little nervous.

At this time, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time came forward, took the imperial edict from Li Yuan's hand, examined it carefully, and announced to everyone: "This is indeed your majesty's personal handwriting! His Majesty the Fifth Prince Cui Qiu He is the new emperor!"

As he spoke, he led all the royal guards to pay homage to the new emperor on the spot: "Your Highness, please follow the last emperor's will and inherit the throne. Long live my emperor!"

The fifth prince's people also immediately dismounted to pay homage.Only the princelings could not accept this reality, with expressions of anger or disbelief on their faces, and there was a lot of discussion.

Cui Yuzhen didn't say much, and stepped forward to take the imperial edict from the commander of the Jinyi Guards.After seeing the writing on it, he raised his head and looked at Mo Qin on the high platform.

The moment they looked at each other, Mo Qin saw the disappointment and self-mockery in those cold, ice-like eyes, as if he was a gambler who self-righteously believed in some bet with a very low chance of winning, but invested all his wealth in it.

After self-mockery, there is cold despair.It's not despair about the situation, but despair about Mo Qin...

Mo Qin opened his mouth to say something, but his throat felt as if it was blocked.Until he watched the prince silently mount his horse and leave with his men Juechen.

After a burst of cheers and celebrations, the five princes' party also realized that they could not let the prince run away like this.Some people raised their whips and chased after them. The sound of horse hooves and shouts were mixed together, and the scene was chaotic for a time.

In this situation, no one would care about a powerless concubine whom the former emperor loved during his lifetime.

The situation was settled, but Mo Qin didn't feel comfortable in his heart.

He was like a confused zombie, wandering aimlessly in the palace.He walked all the way to the imperial garden and found a stone bench to sit down on.

There was still the late emperor's body in the Qianqing Palace, and he could no longer enter.In fact, he had never lived in the palace that was nominally for the imperial concubine.

In the huge palace, there was no place for him to stay.

I don't know how long I sat like this, but suddenly, a figure appeared behind the trees.Mo Qin looked over blankly, but his eyes suddenly dimmed when he saw Qiu Si's face.

Qiu Si stepped forward, looked at Mo Qin's distraught appearance, and took his arm, wanting to give him some support in this way.

He said comfortingly: "Mo Qin, come with me. His Highness asked me to take you to a safe place."

Mo Qin remained motionless and silent.

Qiu Si sighed inwardly and said, "I'm offended." Then he picked him up and left the imperial garden quickly using Qinggong.

They left the palace and rode for a while until they stopped in front of the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Qiu Si once again carried Mo Qin and flew into the wall, placing him in a quiet wing.

Before leaving, he looked back at Mo Qin again, and seeing that he still looked lifeless, he couldn't help but whispered: "There will be some instability in the capital these days, and no one will notice that you are no longer in the palace." . His Highness wants you to live here to avoid the limelight, and there will be secret guards to protect your safety. Don’t worry, we will definitely win."

Mo Qin remained unmoved, his expression as frozen as a statue.

Qiu Si moved her lips as if she wanted to say something else, but finally closed her mouth and left the place quickly.

Just like Qiu Si said.On the day the late emperor passed away, Cui Qiu announced the imperial edict to the world.He declared that he was the legitimate heir to the throne, but Cui Yuzhen conspired to poison the late emperor in order to rebel. Such a heinous crime would not be punished by death!And began to hunt him down.

The prince also had a lot of power in the capital, and the two sides were at loggerheads.

No one could have imagined that the key to victory or defeat in this battle for the throne would be Jin Yiwei.

The current commander of the Jinyi Guards is a loyal supporter of Cui Yuanjue, and he will only follow the successor appointed by the late emperor.

Without the key chess piece Jin Yiwei, the princelings were finally defeated.

Wei Ming escaped, but Cui Yuzhen refused to leave because the queen was captured. As a result, he was captured alive by Cui Qiu and imprisoned in a sky prison.

Mo Qin heard the news of the prince's arrest in the fifth prince's residence, and his heart ached as if it had been broken.

He caught Qiu Si who told him about this matter, with a pair of peach blossom eyes red, and said urgently and ferociously: "Qiu Si, you said before that if I have any request, I can ask you for help. Now I need it You do one thing for me. Please, I'm willing to pay any price in exchange for you."

Qiu Si quickly held his arm comfortingly, lowered her voice, and said softly: "It's okay, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

The young man's face was covered with tears. He held Qiu Si's arm tightly, as if he was grasping the last straw.

"Can you... help me get the prince out?"

......

Mo Qin sat on the short couch, the tea in his hand untouched, his eyes full of worry.

At this time, there was movement outside the door.He quickly stood up, and who knew that the fifth prince Cui Qiu walked in.

No, it should be His Majesty the Emperor.

Mo Qin calmed down the emotions in his eyes and sat back on the couch.

The expression on his face was as cold as an arrow, piercing into Cui Qiu's heart.

"However, there is no need to worry. Because the biggest obstacle will be cleared soon. Under my careful care, Mo Qin will definitely get better and slowly accept me." Cui Qiu thought to himself with relief.

Thinking like this, Cui Qiu stepped forward, picked up the cup of tea that Mo Qin had not touched from the table and took a sip of water.

He asked softly: "Are you still used to living in the mansion these days?"

Mo Qin did not answer, but looked at him steadily and asked, "Where is the prince?"

Cui Qiu's eyes darkened, but he didn't answer.Wu Zi said: "It doesn't matter if you are not used to it. You will be able to go back to live in the palace soon. Then you can choose the bedrooms in each palace."

Mo Qin's tone was cold and he asked again: "Where is the prince?"

Cui Qiu's face finally fell, and instantly became extremely cold.

He didn't say anything, but took out a bright yellow brocade silk from his arms and placed it on the table in front of Mo Qin.

It was also an imperial edict, but in the column for heir to the throne, the words "Prince Cui Yuzhen" were clearly written.

Cui Qiu's whole body exuded a sharp coldness, and he suppressed his anger and said to Mo Qin:

"You betrayed me first, Mo Qin, who do you have the right to mention Cui Yuzhen to me again!"
