Marquis De'an still wanted to be more conservative and wait until the emperor was poisoned to death, and then pin the charges of poisoning the emperor on the queen and the twelfth prince.Among the remaining princes, the one most qualified to sit on the throne is the seventh prince.

The seventh prince sat on the throne legitimately, without being called a usurper.

Even if something goes wrong or unexpected, there is still a way for the Li family to escape unscathed.

Of course, in addition to this, another plan has been prepared. Whenever an uncontrollable accident occurs, he will be forced into the palace directly.

Now that everything is under control, Marquis De'an still chooses the first plan.

At this time, the cronies sent by Marquis De'an sent back the news, "Master Marquis, something happened. News just came from King Xian that the emperor woke up. It was said that the poison was poisoned by the seventh prince, and he wanted to summon the ministers of the court. Make a posthumous edict and pass the throne to the twelfth prince."

The second eldest son of the Li family was still worried about the imperial edict before, but he didn't expect that news came as soon as he finished speaking.

"Father."

Once a testamentary edict is made in front of the ministers, saying that the poison was caused by the Seventh Prince, then the Seventh Prince will be in a desperate situation.

Marquis De'an raised his eyebrows, "The news about the noble concubine hasn't spread yet, how did the wise king get the news?"

Regarding Xiao Sheng, Marquis De'an always had a hint of defense. The more critical the moment, the more calm he had to be. He could not completely believe Xiao Sheng's words just because he was an ally.

"The King Xian said that he bribed people from the Imperial Hospital."

Apart from the Queen, the person who has the most contact with the Emperor is the imperial physician.

All the imperial doctors who had treated the emperor before were not allowed to leave, and it was impossible to get information from the imperial doctors.

"Contact the imperial concubine immediately and ask about the situation in the palace."

"Yes."

An hour later, news came from Concubine Li.

"Father, the empress said that when she went to visit the doctor in the morning, she heard the imperial doctor say that the emperor was about to wake up."

"Father, the news from the wise king is true. The emperor has really woken up."

The three sons of the Li family were very anxious. They didn't know why they all took a step forward, but their father refused to continue.They were told to gather troops and rush into the palace, kill all the disobedient people, and let the seventh prince ascend the throne.

After the seventh prince becomes emperor, let's see who dares to say anything.

"Father, we can only go so far."

"Yes, General Li is ready and can enter the palace at any time."

Marquis De'an kept thinking, and he still felt that something was wrong with Xiao Sheng, as if he was waiting for him to lead his troops to force the palace.That's why I thought of two plans, and I would not go to the step of forcing the wife to have a baby.

Looking at it now, the only way left is to force the woman to die.

"Master Marquis, Lord Wang is here."

At this time, Marquis De'an didn't want to see anyone. He was afraid of being discovered and accidentally let him see Mr. Wang.

"Master Marquis, have you heard about the emperor's awakening?"

Marquis De'an shook his head, "I have never heard of this, is the emperor awake?" After saying that, he secretly looked at Lord Wang's reaction.

Mr. Wang seemed a little anxious. He met the eyes of Marquis De'an and gritted his teeth. "I don't know whether the news is true or not. Lord Marquis, the situation is urgent, so I won't beat you around the bush. I heard some remarks, saying that it was the seventh prince who gave me the news." The emperor has been poisoned."

"No reason!"

Marquis De'an suddenly smashed the teacup on the ground and stood up angrily, "Where did the rumor come from? The seventh prince only has the emperor in his heart. Besides, if the seventh prince poisons the emperor, what good will it do to the seventh prince?"

"Master Marquis, please don't get excited. Listen to what the officer has to say."

After Lord Wang comforted him, Marquis De'an sat down.

"Master Wang, please speak."

"I just feel that something is not right about this matter, especially since the news was spread inexplicably. As the Marquis said, there is no benefit at all for the seventh prince to poison the emperor. Moreover, the queen has always been around to take care of the emperor after he became ill. The emperor Whether it is a serious illness or poisoning is a matter of her words.

I’m worried—"

"What are you worried about, Mr. Wang?"

"Does the Marquis know the truth behind the Zhou family's destruction?"

"Oh? Master Wang, come and listen."

"The emperor has found out the information. When the old man was still alive, he had been exchanging letters with a courtier of the Cang Kingdom. Concubine Zhou took Prince Rui to the Cang Kingdom directly.

Prince Rui is being raised in the home of a minister in Cang State. When he comes back at this time, the Marquis can think about it carefully. "

Marquis De'an frowned, "Why do you want to kill the Zhou family?"

"According to the investigation, before Mr. Zhou died, he seemed to have found something in his home. He wanted to present it to the emperor, but he was exterminated the next day."

It is strange that the Zhou family was wiped out. Today, the Zhou family is no longer the Duke's residence. After the separation, only the second eldest brother, Zhou Jinjian, is left.Zhou Jinjian is very ambitious, but he is an idiot and poses no threat to anyone.

There was something really wrong with being killed suddenly or with a brutal annihilation of the entire family.

"Master Marquis, could it be that the emperor found out something that was not good for Prince Rui and the queen, so the queen did it!"

No need to finish the words, the meaning is already clear.

The queen was afraid that the truth would be discovered, so she poisoned the emperor in order to pass the throne to the twelve princes.

Marquis De'an looked at Mr. Wang opposite, "Mr. Wang, who have you said these words to?"

"Xiaoguan doesn't trust other people. The one he trusts most now is the Marquis. That's why he came to tell the Marquis about this matter. Marquis, although you have resigned now, in Xiaguan's heart, you will always be the prime minister."

Mr. Wang said it very sincerely. Ever since he entered this door, he has been calling himself a lower official.

Marquis De'an frowned in thought, "There is no proof, maybe -"

"Master Hou, actually not only I feel this way, but several other adults also think so. Master Hou, Mr. Liu is still young and cannot take responsibility for trouble. You still need to come forward in this matter."

Marquis De'an showed a thoughtful expression. In fact, he was indeed thinking about this matter.

The poison was administered by the Seventh Prince and had nothing to do with Queen Rui and Prince's Mansion.But the queen was too shrewd. After the emperor's accident, she took the emperor into custody and no one was allowed to contact him.Although it would leave some things to talk about, it would also prevent them from having the chance to poison the emperor again.

What if the emperor really wakes up?

now!

Marquis De'an glanced at Lord Wang opposite, maybe he could take advantage of this.

*

An hour later, Marquis De'an, headed by Marquis De'an, appeared in the emperor's palace with several important ministers. They also found the Queen Mother and wanted to see the Emperor. They suspected that the Queen had evil intentions.

The Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother. Even she cannot meet the Emperor at will. No matter how she looks at it, there will be problems.

"Get out of the way, can't the Queen Mother even want to see the Emperor?"

"The Queen decrees that no one is allowed to see the Emperor."

The emperor had issued an imperial edict that as long as he was seriously ill or unconscious, everything in the palace would be left to the queen, and no one, not even the queen mother, could violate the queen's decree.

Therefore, the queen did not allow anyone to see the emperor, and the ministers in the court had no choice.
