After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

"Xun'er, my son, you are finally back." When the queen saw that it was indeed her precious son, her heart felt like a bottle of overturned five flavors, with all kinds of feelings.

The originally anxious heart slowly calmed down when he saw Zhao Xun.

After all, she still has a son.

Zhao Xun looked at his mother who had lost her manners in front of him. He was a little surprised. He hugged her back and asked in confusion, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

When he looked down, he found his mother crying. He suddenly became more nervous, wondering if something had happened to make his mother so sad.

Just as he was about to ask, the queen shook her head and replied, "Nothing, I just almost couldn't see my son, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited."

Is that so? Zhao Xun heaved a sigh of relief, as long as his mother was not bullied.

The queen stared at Zhao Xun closely, looking him up and down, her eyes full of distress: "Xun'er, you've become darker and thinner."

"Mother, does my son look more manly now?"

"You are still as frivolous as before." Zhao Xun's words made the queen feel relieved. She looked at him with satisfaction, "But you have really grown up. You have grown taller and stronger."

Zhao Xun chuckled a few times, and suddenly thought of his father, and asked hurriedly: "Mother, how is my father?"

The queen's originally smiling face froze for a moment when she heard him asking about the old man.

"What's wrong, mother?" When Zhao Xun saw that the queen's face was not right, the silly smile on his face disappeared.

"Did something happen to Father?"

"Your father, I'm afraid it's not good."

When Zhao Xun heard his mother say this, he ran towards the bedroom worriedly. The queen looked at the prince's anxious back with complicated eyes, and then followed him.

The smell of medicine was even stronger in the bedroom. After he entered, he felt it was airtight and very uncomfortable.

"Why is there no ventilation?" Zhao Xun asked with a frown after entering.

The maidservant quickly replied: "The imperial physician said that the emperor is too weak to be exposed to the wind, so the windows are closed."

"It's not good to not ventilate the whole day." Zhao Xun thought for a moment and said, "The wind is relatively gentle in the morning and evening, so ventilate for half an hour at that time."

The palace maid felt that she was right and looked at the Queen who was following closely behind her.

"Just listen to the prince."

"Yes."

The old emperor had already seen the prince coming in, but he was weak and unable to move, so he could only express his longing for his son with an anxious look.

Hearing that the prince cared so much about him, he was deeply moved.

In fact, he had long been unable to bear the smell of medicine in the room, but no one knew his feelings and just let him stay in this stuffy room.

After lying in bed for several days and nights, not only did his body not get better, but he now felt his mind was becoming more and more confused.

Finally, Zhao Xun felt the old emperor's passionate gaze. He walked forward and looked at his father with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes lying on the bed. He was stunned.

"Father, how did you become like this?!"

"..." The old emperor moved his mouth with difficulty several times, but no sound came out.

You know what, the old emperor was so pitiful at this moment.

Who could have imagined that the once powerful, treacherous, cunning and arrogant villain would one day end up like this.

This is really true, it makes people sigh.

The queen slowly walked to Zhao Xun's side, looked at the old emperor's helpless appearance, and said: "Xun'er, your father is probably unable to handle state affairs. Although he has just put down the rebellion, your father has become like this again. In order to prevent others from having inappropriate thoughts, the burden of this country has to be shouldered by you. Get ready and ascend the throne soon."

She said this lightly and it was reasonable, but the people present were all stunned.

Although Zhao Xun knew from a young age that he would inherit the throne one day, his father had always been in good health, so he never thought that he would inherit the throne so soon.

However, considering his father's current condition, he has no choice but to take on the responsibility.

The speechless old emperor was also shocked when he heard this. He looked at the queen with an indifferent expression in disbelief, thinking to himself, when did he say that he wanted to abdicate? How dare this woman speak so nonsense!

Yes, the old emperor is like this now, but he has not thought about passing the throne to the crown prince.

He felt that he was fine and as long as he took good care of his health, he could continue to be the emperor for another ten years.

For him, the throne was something he had snatched from his brother with great difficulty. It was absolutely impossible for him to let it go so easily.

But today, this audacious woman actually took advantage of his illness and inability to speak to say such outrageous words. She deserves to die.

He immediately felt murderous intent in his heart, thinking viciously, after he recovers, he will see how he will deal with the Queen.

Thinking of this, he tried his best to make his eyes look a little angry. After all, he could not make any other expressions except his eyes.

"This, this is not good. I am still young, and my father is still alive. How can I take over the job?"

"Child, this is actually what your father meant." The queen looked at him gently and lied with her eyes open without blushing.

The emperor, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes even wider when he heard this, his face full of disbelief. When did his obedient queen become like this, telling lies without thinking.

"Is it really?"

"Really." The queen confirmed.

The old emperor felt like he was about to vomit blood. His body began to tremble violently, trying to attract other people's attention.

His actions really caught the attention of the Queen. She pointed at him and said to Zhao Xun, "My son, look, your father is shaking with joy."

"I...I...five..."

Zhao Xun couldn't bear to see his excitement, so he stepped forward and grabbed his hand, comforting him: "Father, don't worry, I will never let you down."

Old Emperor: That’s not true. I haven’t been emperor long enough. Don’t listen to what that woman says.

At this time, the queen took out an imperial edict from somewhere and handed it to Zhao Xun, saying, "Xun'er, this is a secret edict that your father wrote when he was healthy because he was worried that he would fall into trouble one day."

"If he is in trouble, you will take the throne immediately, the Queen Mother will be the regent, and the other four people, Prime Minister Shen, the General Guarding the Nation, the Duke of Qing, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, will assist in governing the country."

"Of course, now that Prime Minister Shen has rebelled, he can no longer be one of the four regents."

She said all this without changing her expression, and didn't even look at the old emperor's face which turned pale and blue. It was particularly interesting.

"In that case, I, your son, will obey your father's order." Zhao Xun held the imperial edict in his hand and felt it weighed a thousand pounds.

The anxious old emperor rolled his eyes and fainted in anger.
