After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

When Emperor Longxi opened his eyes, the palace maid who was feeding him ginseng soup was so scared that she almost dropped the bowl.

Cheng Songan quickly caught it and said calmly, "Sister, why are you panicking? You should quickly feed the ginseng soup to His Majesty."

The palace maid looked towards Concubine Liu in panic, but she seemed to be fast asleep on the couch.

As a last resort, the palace maid could only nervously pick up the bowl and cup again.

After drinking half a cup of ginseng soup, Emperor Longxi's chest rose and fell slightly, and then he spoke: "Come here."

His voice was weak and low, but it was extremely clear in the empty bedroom. The four people were so frightened that they were stunned for a moment and looked over in disbelief. Although the emperor on the couch was groggy, he had actually woken up.

Another maid was the first to react and boldly said to Concubine Liu, "Your Majesty!"

But Concubine Liu did not respond.

The two eunuchs saw something was wrong and ran out quickly.

Cheng Songan had already reached the door. The two eunuchs fell to the ground without any movement, and it was even easier for him to deal with the remaining two palace maids.

Afterwards, she knelt down in front of the couch and pleaded guilty in a low voice: "I am a daring and reckless person, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Longxi panted heavily, "How many days can I last? Stop with these empty words."

She smiled as she spoke, "You are the first woman in history who dares to give an emperor acupuncture. Only you can make Xuanzhen suffer from death."

Cheng Songan scratched her head in embarrassment: "I am risking my life to make this remonstrance."

Emperor Longxi sat upright, hearing incomprehensible words constantly.

A quarter of an hour later, the door of the east hall opened again, and Emperor Longxi happened to hear a conversation between his fifth son, the idle prince who had devoted himself to farming in the past, and the queen.

The queen said: "Don't forget, your princess and sons are also in the palace. Even if your people surrounded the entire palace, they might not be able to rescue them."

King Xiang replied: "Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Please rest assured, mother, I will avenge my princess and son, and their spirits in heaven will protect me."

"My son's courage is so great that even I am ashamed of myself." The Emperor Longxi's voice, which was not loud, made the messy hall quiet down in an instant.

Prince Xiang was suddenly startled, his eyes fell on the young eunuch behind him, and he immediately understood that this Cheng Songan was indeed extraordinary.

His shock was fleeting, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. It is great that you have woken up. I was just about to report to you about Prince Jin's rebellion."

Emperor Longxi walked up to the dragon throne step by step, and each step was taken very steadily under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The queen wanted to come over to help as if she had seen a savior, but was brushed away without a trace, and only the young eunuch behind her was allowed to follow.

“Father, please be wise. The prince would never rebel. It was Prince Xiang who framed him. The one who really wanted to rebel was Prince Xiang!” Princess Jin cried with tears and snot, no longer as dignified and noble as before.

Emperor Longxi said calmly: "We will know who is rebelling after the trial."

Princess Jin wanted to say something else, but Prince Xiang did not give her the chance. The long sword pierced through her from behind, and Princess Jin fell in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open.

Cheng Songan was shocked. The ruthlessness of King Xiang was completely exposed. The princess could be remarried and the son could be born again, but now, the father who once gave him the status of a prince was his last stumbling block.

All stumbling blocks must be removed.

"My son, you are still in the hall, why don't you take off your armor?" Emperor Longxi was still calm and composed as usual.

King Xiang clenched the sword in his hand and said, "I am concerned about your father's safety. Father, I heard that you made a will a month ago. Why don't you take it out to avoid a recurrence of today's disaster?"

Emperor Longxi glanced at the soldiers outside the palace and said disapprovingly: "Okay, my son, if you want to see it, I will do as you wish."

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Cheng Songan was anxious and spoke out to stop him.

Prince Xiang took the bow and arrow from the soldier and pointed it at Cheng Songan leisurely: "Eunuchs interfering in government affairs is a capital crime!"

The hall was completely silent, and cold sweat was dripping down. He was sure to die today. The direction in which Prince Xiang's bow and arrow was pointing was Emperor Longxi. If he dared to do such a thing, everyone would be killed to silence them.

Cheng Songan raised his eyebrows: "Prince Xiang, how dare you kill the king!"

"The one I want to kill is you, the talkative eunuch!" As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow was shot.

Cheng Songan grabbed the stone inkstone on the table and blocked the arrow.

"Prince Xiang!" Emperor Longxi spoke again, "Why are you in such a hurry? It won't be too late to make a decision after hearing the will."

King Xiang raised his eyebrows and put down the bow and arrow.

Emperor Longxi said loudly: "Call Cui Yuanqing and a few people from the cabinet."

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the cabinet members who had long been controlled by Prince Xiang came to the hall, except Cui Yuanqing.

King Xiang sneered and looked at Cheng Songan: "I am also waiting for Lord Cui."

"Lord Cui has important matters to attend to, so it doesn't matter if I come here." A deep voice came from outside the hall.

King Xiang's expression changed: "Lord Wang, when did you come back?"

Wang Shumian knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I have traveled day and night from the northwest to bring good news to Your Majesty. Several tribes including Rouran have surrendered, and the second prince of Rongdi has fled to Liaodong. Now the five towns in the northern border have returned to our dynasty. I congratulate Your Majesty."

The pale face of Emperor Longxi turned red: "My dear minister, you have worked hard. Please stand up quickly. Someone, please give me a seat!"

Wang Shumian stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Lord Cui entrusted the matter of the will to me. It will not be too late for me to sit down after I have read the will."

Emperor Longxi twirled his beard and nodded: "It's good for you to read it out."

Under the scrutiny of King Xiang and in full view of everyone, Wang Shumian had someone take out a sealed box from behind the plaque in the Qianyuan Hall.

King Xiang's eyes seemed to be filled with poison. It was so easy here!

The tip of his sword pointed at Wang Shumian.

Wang Shumian was not afraid at all. At the instruction of Emperor Longxi, he opened the sealed box, took out the will wrapped in yellow silk, and read aloud:

Ning Zhao, the eldest son of the fifth son of the Emperor, Prince Xiang, is kindhearted. Among all the grandchildren, I love him the most and brought him up in the palace. In the winter of the 45th year of Longxi, I summoned all the ministers of the cabinet to the Qianyuan Hall and told them about the establishment of a crown prince. I personally wrote the decree, appointing Ning Zhao as the crown prince. He was to succeed me to the throne and become the emperor. With the blessing of heaven and the advice of our ancestors, I will surely be able to share the blessing of peace with hundreds of millions of my subjects.

When King Xiang heard the first sentence, his heart was beating wildly, and the more he listened, the colder his blood felt. The Daqian Dynasty had been established for a hundred years, and his father had handed over the country to Ning Zhao!

His prince, his son!

His stumbling block turned out to be his own son!

King Xiang stared with bloodshot eyes. He was right. There was something wrong with Cui Yuanqing!

"Father!" King Xiang shouted sharply, "You are wrong, you are wrong. When you die, you must pass the throne to your son first, and then your son can pass it to your grandson!"

Emperor Longxi looked at him quietly and said calmly: "My will cannot be wrong."

King Xiang laughed wildly as if he had heard a joke: "I was wrong, then I was wrong, father, you are confused, this is your last moment of enlightenment, I will send you off and then correct your will!"

"Respectfully send off His Majesty to heaven!"

The soldiers outside stood up in response, and King Xiang aimed his bow and arrow at the dragon throne again.

Cheng Songan picked up the box containing the will and blocked the arrows shot by King Xiang again. She also jumped down from the dragon throne and rushed straight towards King Xiang.

Two black shadows rushed in from outside at an incredibly fast speed, separating Cheng Songan from the left and right, and both rushed towards King Xiang.

Cheng Songan looked at them intently. The two men had the same goal, but they were not on the same side. They were competing for the initiative to kill King Xiang.
