Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 202: The Cold and Noble Prince (56)
King Heng looked at this scene and shook his head in disbelief, muttering "Impossible, impossible".
Xiao Shixu also woke up, but the poison had already penetrated deep into his bone marrow and he didn't have long to live. When he heard about Prince Heng's rebellion, he insisted on coming.
Xiao Shixu came to the Golden Throne Hall in a sedan chair, and everyone hurriedly paid their respects, "Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
It would be more accurate to say that he was slumped in the sedan chair rather than sitting on it. When he saw the important ministers paying homage to him, he slightly perked up and said weakly, "Everyone, please stand up," and then he began to cough violently.
Everyone knew that the emperor would not live long. Seeing him coming, Cui Jingyu walked down from the platform and came to Xiao Shixu, saying with a worried look on her face, "Your Majesty is not well yet, why do you come again?"
Xiao Shixu forced a smile, patted Cui Jingyu's hand, and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Zi Tong," and looked at King Heng who was slumped on the ground on the podium.
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Xiao Shixu's eyes. His body could not allow for too much emotional ups and downs. He forcibly suppressed the overwhelming hatred in his heart and announced with gritted teeth the fate of Prince Heng: "Prince Heng intended to rebel, so he was demoted to a commoner and immediately thrown into jail."
King Heng was already crazy at this time, with disheveled hair and crazy movements. He even laughed loudly when passing by Xiao Shixu, "Do you think you won? Hahahahaha, you can't live if I die, hahahaha".
Xiao Shixu's face became even uglier. Cui Jingyu said, "Shut Prince Heng's mouth." Prince Heng fell silent as soon as the words fell, and the hall fell into silence.
After the court was dismissed, Ji Huaian couldn't wait to run to the Cining Palace. Before he entered, he saw the woman in light blue clothes in front of the door.
Ji Huaian's expression subconsciously softened, and he gently called to the person at the door, "Arou, I'm back."
Jiang Rou looked up, her eyes instantly turned red, and then she ran towards the man. Ji Huaian really felt what it meant to miss someone so much that it felt like a long time had passed. At this moment, he felt at peace as he hugged Jiang Rou.
The scene of the two people hugging each other was seen by one person. Wen Shu stood in the yard looking at the two people not far away, her thoughts gradually dissipated. This scene was so familiar. Now that she had become a bystander, she had a feeling that things and people had changed.
The palace was in a turbulent time, and Ji Huaian was worried about leaving Jiang Rou in the palace, so he sent Jiang Rou out of the palace that day.
In front of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, Ji Huaian did not enter the mansion. This time leaving the palace had already wasted a lot of time.
Jiang Rou was wearing Ji Huaian's cloak. Ji Huaian reached out and smoothed the loose hair on Jiang Rou's forehead. He looked at her intently and assured her softly, "Don't worry, Rou, I'll be back soon."
The ink-black cloak made Jiang Rou look even whiter than jade. She nodded slightly and said to Ji Huaian, "Don't worry about me. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Ji Huaian gave Jiang Rou a loving kiss on the forehead, turned around and mounted his horse. It would be better to get things over with as soon as possible, as it was time to prepare for his and A Rou's wedding.
Jiang Rou stood in front of the door and stared at Ji Huaian's back until he could no longer see her, then turned around and went back home. All of this was seen by another person. Ji Mingjin clenched his fists as he watched this scene.
Xiao Shixu's health was getting worse and worse. When he was dying, he discovered the good of Cui Jingyu, and even became more distant from his beloved Wei Ran.
Because he was ill and physically weak, at the beginning all the memorials were reviewed by Cui Jingyu and then he reviewed them. Later, as his health deteriorated, Cui Jingyu reviewed them herself.
As Cui Jingyu's belly grew bigger and bigger, he began to slowly delegate power to Cui Jingyu. It was not difficult to understand that this was his preparation for the unborn child.
In order to pave the way for the "child", Xiao Shixu ignored the obstruction of court officials and allowed Cui Jingyu to participate through a screen in both the court meetings in the Jinluan Hall and the meetings in the Qinzheng Hall.
There were people who strongly opposed it at the beginning, but as Xiao Shixu gradually delegated power and Cui Jingyu achieved more and more, the voices of opposition in the court became smaller and smaller.
Cui Jingyu's popularity among the people was getting louder and louder, and people even began to spread the rumor that there were two emperors in the court. Upon hearing about this, Cui Jingyu deliberately tested Xiao Shixu's attitude.
Seeing that he had no doubts at all, Cui Jingyu acted more freely, and in Xiao Shixu's eyes, all this seemed like Cui Jingyu had to endure all this for him and the child. After all, Cui Jingyu was deeply in love with him.
With the help of Cui Jingyu's father and Ji Huaian in the court, she was able to handle things more easily. She also promoted many of her own people. Although they were not important positions, the number of people was indeed increasing.
Xiao Shixu was so ill that he could not get out of bed, and Jiawen, his half-sister, naturally went to the palace to serve him. It was not because she was so kind-hearted, but because she discovered Cui Jingyu's intention.
When Jiawen asked this question, Cui Jingyu was silent. After a moment, Cui Jingyu looked up at Jiawen and said, "You can expose me now."
Garen lowered his head and said nothing. Hearing this, she raised her head and looked directly at the person she trusted most. After a while, Garen said, "I won't expose you."
After a pause, Jiawen said, "What the people of the world need is a good monarch who can feed them. It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, sister-in-law. I won't expose you. You are very suitable."
Hearing her say this, Cui Jingyu was deeply moved. She thought that if the matter was exposed, Jiawen would be against her. After all, she was trying to seize the throne of the Xiao family.
Cui Jingyu took a step forward, patted Jiawen on the shoulder, and said softly, "I will always be your sister-in-law."
Before his death, Xiao Shixu held Cui Jingyu's hand and said anxiously, "After I die, everything will be handed over to you. Protect the prince and the Xiao family's kingdom."
Cui Jingyu didn't say anything, and Xiao Shixu didn't notice her expression. He just continued, "After I die, Wei Ran will let him go. I am sorry for you in this life, and I will compensate you in the next life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Jingyu sneered and said to the outside, "Bring him up."
Xiao Shixu was a little confused, and then he saw several eunuchs carrying a jar in. Cui Jingyu had a smile on her face and said in a good mood, "Open it."
Xiao Shixu looked over when he heard it, and the next second he was shocked. It was Wei Ran in the jar, except that he had no hands or feet.
Xiao Shixu was so grief-stricken that he couldn't breathe. He pointed at Cui Jingyu and said, "Poisonous woman, poisonous woman..." Cui Jingyu didn't even blink when she heard that.
She said in a mocking tone, "Compared to Your Majesty, what I did was nothing." Then she looked up at Xiao Shixu and said, "After all, you killed him, you killed your father."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shixu was so shocked that he was speechless. Cui Jingyu looked at him and suddenly smiled. She stood up and looked down at his dying struggle, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid Your Majesty is disappointed."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and said in a voice that only two of them could hear, "After all, I condoned your poisoning, I ordered Wei Ran to do it, the child is fake, and the Xiao family's kingdom is also mine." After saying the last sentence, Cui Jingyu was laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
Xiao Shixu's eyes widened when he heard this, and the next second his pupils dilated. His hands drooped limply, and Emperor Renzong died less than a year after he ascended the throne.
