The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Emperor Jingren was so angry that his body, which was already at the end of its strength, collapsed immediately.

Inside the Funing Palace.

Everyone was in a hurry, with a sad look on their face.

The Crown Prince and Concubine Yan were standing in front of Emperor Jingren with red eyes and worried looks on their faces.

This was the scene that Shen Qinglan and others saw when they arrived.

Gu Changqing was giving Emperor Jingren an acupuncture injection, temporarily stabilizing his life, but...

"Doctor Gu, how is His Majesty now?"

When Concubine Yan saw Gu Changqing put down his hand, she shook her head and asked nervously.

Gu Changqing glanced at Concubine Yan, then at the Crown Prince who also had a hopeful look on his face. After a moment of silence, he sighed:

"Your Majesty's health was already weak, and now he is so angry that he may not be able to endure it any longer. It is best to make plans as soon as possible."

"How could this be..." Concubine Yan staggered back a few steps with red eyes, looking unwilling to believe.

The prince even grabbed Gu Changqing and asked anxiously: "Doctor, is there no other way?"

Seeing Gu Changqing shaking his head, the prince was a little disappointed. Then he happened to see Shen Qinglan coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Shen Qinglan and said:

"Princess Zhan, you must have a solution, right? Please save my father."

The prince knew that Shen Qinglan was an excellent doctor, and he had no other choice but to beg Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan took a deep look at the prince, shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, Prince. Doctor Gu is an excellent doctor. Since he said there is nothing he can do, then I..."

The prince was still young, and when he heard this he couldn't help but turned around and threw himself into Concubine Yan's arms, sobbing softly.

Shen Qinglan looked at this scene and sighed twice in his heart.

She had expected what happened today.

Emperor Jingren always liked to keep everything under control. Even after the Queen's coup, although Emperor Jingren supported the Thirteenth Prince as the Crown Prince, he still controlled most of the power.

In this case, how could Emperor Jingren allow all his sons to constantly plot against his throne?

Therefore, if something happened today, it would be natural for Emperor Jingren to not be able to bear it.

Of course, Shen Qinglan could think of other ways, at least some gentler ones, but Shen Qinglan didn't want to.

How many loyal ministers and famous generals did Emperor Jingren kill for his own selfishness? Shen Qinglan had never planned to let Emperor Jingren live for long.

Now that the Four-Nation Treaty has been signed, there shouldn't be any major chaos within the world for the time being, so it's the most appropriate time for Emperor Jingren to give up his throne to the Crown Prince.

Of course, Shen Qinglan would not tell the prince these.

The prince is a kind-hearted person. If he knew the truth, he would probably be sad.

Shen Qinglan also didn't want there to be a rift between the Zhan Palace and the future emperor.

As the prince sobbed, Emperor Jingren woke up slowly.

He has been shrewd all his life and naturally knows his current physical condition.

Seeing that the Crown Prince and Concubine Yan's sadness did not seem fake, he felt a little relieved.

Even if the other sons were unfilial, the Thirteenth Son was still a good one.

After Emperor Jingren opened his eyes, everyone immediately surrounded him. However, Emperor Jingren waved his hand, looked at Gu Changqing and asked in a hoarse voice:

"My dear Gu, tell me honestly, how much, ahem, ahem, time do I have left?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing looked at Emperor Jingren with some embarrassment. How could he dare to say such a thing?

"Frankly, I can bear it."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, at most half a month..."

Gu Changqing's words fell into everyone's eyes, and no matter whether they were true or false, everyone had a sad look on their face.

But only Emperor Jingren himself smiled and said, "Fifteen days, that's enough."

After Emperor Jingren finished speaking, he asked someone to help him up. After drinking some water, he glanced at Concubine Yan and said to Li Fude beside him with gentle eyes:

"Have someone draft an edict. Imperial Concubine Yan has a gentle disposition and strictly abides by the rules for women. She should be a role model for other women. She is now promoted to Empress and is in charge of the six palaces."

"emperor?"

When Concubine Yan heard this, she exclaimed and looked at Emperor Jingren with some surprise.

Emperor Jingren waved to Concubine Yan, and Concubine Yan obediently walked to Emperor Jingren, lay down beside his bed, and looked up at him.

"You are very good, and the prince is also very good. Since I will not live for long, I should always make more plans for you. Since you are the queen, the prince is the legitimate son, and his status will naturally be higher. It will be more legitimate for him to ascend the throne in the future."

Emperor Jingren had thought it through.

Since he was going to die soon, he naturally had to make more plans for the Crown Prince and Concubine Yan, the two people who were truly loyal to him.

Although the prince is now the prince, Concubine Yan's identity has caused him many criticisms. Now, he has made Concubine Yan the queen, which means the prince is legitimate. Who can say anything more?

When Concubine Yan felt that Emperor Jingren was sincerely thinking about her and the prince, tears immediately flowed down her face.

Although Concubine Yan had always tried to please Emperor Jingren for the sake of power and her own life, Emperor Jingren had always been very good to her.

Now that Emperor Jingren is still considering her at his last moment, what is she dissatisfied about?

Emperor Jingren patted Concubine Yan on the shoulder, then he looked at Huo Zhanting and Shen Qinglan, and then said:

"The Duke of Zhenguo can stay, and the rest can leave first."

Huo Zhanting was a little worried when he heard this, but Shen Qinglan patted the back of his hand and said softly: "Don't worry, His Majesty just has something to tell me."

After hearing Shen Qinglan's words, Huo Zhanting reluctantly left the bedroom.

After everyone had left, Shen Qinglan bowed slightly to Emperor Jingren and said:

"His Majesty."

Emperor Jingren looked at Shen Qinglan for a long time without saying anything. Just when Shen Qinglan thought that Emperor Jingren had fallen asleep, he suddenly asked:

"You knew everything that Lao Jiu did, right?"

Shen Qinglan raised her eyes and saw a hint of resentment in Emperor Jingren's eyes, and she understood.

Emperor Jingren was blaming himself for not telling him earlier. In this way, perhaps Emperor Jingren could have saved his son.

After all, he was old, and his sons died one after another. How could Emperor Jingren feel good?

Shen Qinglan chuckled and did not answer, but asked:

"Your Majesty, you should know the principle of cutting the grass at its roots. Besides, everything is just bait, but whether or not to take the bait is up to the Ninth Prince. If he doesn't have a rebellious heart, he won't take the bait, right?"

"Besides, Your Majesty, you should also be aware of the Ninth Prince's personality. Even if the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he will not give up easily."

As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he took action against his own brother. If the news got out, people would inevitably suspect that the prince was intolerant.

After all, Emperor Jingren had almost all his sons dead. If only the ninth prince was left and had to be dealt with by the new emperor, many people would doubt the new emperor's magnanimity.

Rather than letting the new emperor be entangled in this bad reputation, it is better to let Emperor Jingren take action himself.

Anyway, that's how Emperor Jingren's reputation is. Killing one son is killing, killing two is killing, and it won't get any worse.

What's more, the Ninth Prince deserved death for what he did.

Emperor Jingren looked at Shen Qinglan's calm appearance, picked up the medicine bowl beside him and smashed it hard at Shen Qinglan.
