poor family prodigal
Chapter 376: Establishing an heir, as the court wishes
Sheng Fangxi set off quickly and soon arrived at Concubine Xian's palace.
However, Sheng Fanxi's face was extremely solemn. After pondering for a moment, he then slowly spoke in a serious tone: "Second sister, it's time for us to take action."
"The Bai family has already taken action. If we don't think of a way to put the plan on the agenda, if we are preempted by the Bai family, then our chances of winning will be completely wiped out!"
With a hint of urgency in her tone, Sheng Fanxi looked at Concubine Xian and said in a deep voice, "Second sister, we can't delay any longer."
"Early tomorrow morning, you will find a way to poison His Majesty."
"Poison... poison?"
Concubine Xian's eyes widened in astonishment, her tone of voice became urgent, and she whispered: "Do we...do we have to do this? Is there no other way?"
"no!"
Sheng Fangxi said in a deep voice: "I have made it clear to you the stakes here. If you don't do it, if you miss the opportunity, death will be waiting for us!"
"Our whole family will be dead by then. Do you want to see Yong'er's whole life ruined in your hands like this?"
Sheng Fanxi's words made Concubine Xian's face become uneasy again.
After hesitating for a moment, she could only slowly close her eyes and nodded gently.
"Okay, brother, I will do as you say."
Sheng Fangxi breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his head and said solemnly: "This is the medicine I have newly prepared. You can take it first."
"Taking this medicine for a long time will make His Majesty's body weaken day by day."
Concubine Xian asked cautiously: "In other words, your Majesty's life will not be harmed?"
"Not for now."
Sheng Fanxi said in a serious tone: "At this stage, the most important thing to do is to make His Majesty sick first, and then encourage the ministers to put pressure on His Majesty to appoint a crown prince."
In the middle of what Sheng Fangxi was saying, she suddenly looked at Concubine Xian in front of her with a very serious face, and said in a deep voice: "After I go back, I will tell Yong'er that he must behave himself during this period of time and must not cause any trouble."
"His luck lies behind him."
After Sheng Fanxi finished speaking, she put on a black bamboo hat, turned around and walked out of Concubine Xian's palace, hiding in the night.
Concubine Xian looked at Sheng Fangxi's back with a worried expression. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly closed the door of the palace and prepared to rest.
The next morning, Concubine Xian got up early and conveyed to Yong'er what Sheng Fangxi had told her yesterday.
Then he pretended to be tired and returned to the palace.
Not long after, she covered her mouth and coughed lightly, looking weak, and lay down on the bed ready to take a nap.
When the maid next to me saw this, she immediately asked worriedly: "My Lady, are you okay?"
"Do you need me to call the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at you?"
"Cough cough..."
Concubine Xian coughed lightly, and then said in a low voice: "No need, let Cui'er go find the emperor and say I'm sick."
"Yes, madam!"
Concubine Xian was lying in the palace, feeling a little nervous and uneasy.
She considered how to talk to His Majesty after seeing him for a while.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
His Majesty walked in with big strides. He walked directly to the bed and sat down. He looked at Concubine Xian with concern and asked softly: "Concubine Xian, I heard that you were sick and came here to see you. How do you feel now? How's it going? It's getting better. Have you asked the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"
"I didn't call the imperial doctor..."
Before Concubine Xian could finish her words, she saw His Majesty's face suddenly turned serious. He shouted lightly and said, "Nonsense!"
"It's so serious, how can you not call the imperial doctor? Send the imperial doctor immediately!"
Hearing this, Concubine Xian immediately took the emperor's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, I feel much better if you can come here to see me."
"If Your Majesty is willing to stay with me here, it will be much more useful than any imperial doctor or good medicine."
Concubine Xian looked at His Majesty as tenderly as water and said softly.
"Haha, it turns out that you are sick because you miss me. Whatever, I will stay in your palace tonight and pass this on."
A nervous smile flashed across Concubine Xian's eyes. Although her plan succeeded, she always felt uneasy.
Early the next morning, His Majesty left early.
Concubine Xian specially added the medicine given to her by Sheng Fangxi to His Majesty's breakfast. In this way, she would not arouse others' suspicion because His Majesty would fall ill as soon as he came to her palace.
Sure enough, within a day and a half, His Majesty's expression quickly became depressed.
On the morning of the next day, His Majesty came to court as usual, but his energy seemed very depressed and he looked like he was unable to recover.
His face was also pale, and he even took a nap sometimes.
When the courtiers saw this scene, their faces suddenly became very anxious. The leading minister looked hesitant and wanted to say something.
"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing."
His Majesty waved his hands, his face looked a little troubled, and he looked very impatient.
The leading minister immediately bowed and said in a very humble manner: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Go ahead."
His Majesty said calmly.
After the minister thought about it for a long time, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I think we should start making preparations for the establishment of a prince."
When His Majesty heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed.
He looked extremely dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Establishing a crown prince? Why did Aiqing suddenly mention this matter? Does it mean that I am not going to die soon?"
Upon hearing this, the ministers were immediately frightened and their spines trembled with chills!
Their expressions suddenly became extremely frightened, and they knelt down on the ground in fear.
The minister was also frightened. He quickly explained eagerly: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of doing this!"
"It's just that His Majesty's body has been unwell recently. I thought it must be the things that His Majesty has been busy with recently. There are too many things. Perhaps after the crown prince is established, the Crown Prince can help His Majesty share some of the things in the court. Your Majesty, you can also rest more and take care of yourself." Dragon body..."
After the minister finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
His Majesty's expression was solemn. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly. He glanced at the ministers in the court with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Who else wants to establish a prince?"
The courtiers looked nervous and embarrassed!
No one knows what the purpose of Your Majesty’s asking is!
Their faces were extremely solemn, and they lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look at His Majesty at all!
Emperor Xinglong also looked at them coldly and retreated directly.
only……
The matter of establishing an heir was also causing quite a stir!
