For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was tense.

At this moment, the emperor, who had been lying on the bed for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the eyes of the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master was startled and raised his hand to cover the Emperor's mouth.

Li Dequan swung his whisk and opened the Fourth Master's hand.

The palace door was pushed open at this time, and a team of guards rushed in. They came forward and took away all the kneeling people.

Longkodo had his mouth covered and was dragged out of the bedroom.

Fourteen kicked the Fourth Master away and protected the Emperor.

Li Dequan also stood up and stood in front of the bed, glaring at the Fourth Master.

After a moment of panic, the Fourth Master had returned to his normal expression.

The emperor was helped up by the Fourteenth Master. He looked at the Fourth Master for a while before speaking: "Having sinister intentions is not the way of a king. Sly tactics are the lowest tactics."

"I don't have a son like you."

"You are not worthy of being Queen Tongjia's son."

The Fourth Master had a calm expression on his face, as if he was listening to someone else's story.

Yes, for him, if he bets right, he will be rich and prosperous.

Now he just lost the bet, I think he had been prepared for it.

Ruoxi had no status in her previous life, and the biggest reason was today.

If Ruoxi had a formal status, then everyone in the world would know that the Fourth Prince had been in collusion with the female official who served tea to the late emperor.

The claim that the fourth brother came to the position illegitimately was further confirmed.

The emperor continued, "Drag him away and lock him up in the Imperial Clan Court first."

The fourth brother kowtowed to the emperor calmly, without any panic even though he was imprisoned.

Zhen Yurao received the news, which was brought to the palace by Concubine De.

Zhen Yurao covered her chest and said, "Ruoxi, those who took advantage of you will soon get their comeuppance."

After the fourth brother was dragged away, members of the royal family and ministers came in.

Li Dequan personally took down the imperial edict and showed it to everyone.

The emperor himself delivered an oral decree: "The throne will be passed to the fourteenth son."

The clan relatives and ministers received the order and honored the Fourteenth as the new emperor.

The late emperor passed away in the early morning, the funeral bell rang, and the whole country mourned.

The Fourteenth Master took some time to ask Zhou Quanxin, who was serving him, to come back and report the news, and he also summoned Chang Hongchang to the palace.

Three days later, the Fourteenth Master issued an imperial decree to welcome Zhen Yurao into the palace.

He ascended the throne by imperial decree, had military power behind him, and had the support of royal family members and ministers, so Fourteenth quickly secured the throne.

In the second year of the late emperor's mourning period, the empress dowager passed away.

Fourteen hugged Zhen Yurao and cried, "Yurao, I don't have a mother anymore."

As early as after getting married, Zhen Yurao told Fourteen that her nickname was Yurao.

Zhen Yurao hugged Fourteen back and consoled him, "Master, you still have me and the children."

"In two years, Hongchang will have a wife, and I will have grandchildren."

"The Empress Dowager has always loved me. If she knew that I was gone, I would be so sad and would not be at peace."

During the Empress Dowager's funeral, a letter came from the clan office saying that the Fourth Master wanted to come out to keep vigil for the Empress Dowager.

In his previous life, the Fourteenth Prince seized the throne, and when the Queen Mother passed away, he was not allowed to return to keep vigil.

In this life, the Fourteenth Master obtained the throne, and allowed the Fourth Master to come out and see the Queen Mother for the last time.

After the funeral ceremony, an epidemic suddenly broke out in the palace.

The first person Zhen Yurao thought of was the Fourth Master, a man who only knew how to play tricks.

Zhen Yurao picked out the prescriptions she had been researching in recent years and took out one of them to treat the epidemic.

After three days, the epidemic was under control, but many people did not survive the disease.

The Fourteenth Master was soft-hearted, and was worn out by the Fourth Master's repeated schemes. The Fourth Master died suddenly on the seventh day after the Empress Dowager's death.
