The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Emperor Jianyuan's body is already at the end of its strength, and he has been relying on Guyuan Pills to maintain his life in recent days. This secret is only known by His Majesty, Empress Cao and Envoy Zhao.

Now that Envoy Zhao is not in the palace and the emperor is in a coma again, the chief eunuch Wang Xi suddenly takes out the Guyuan Pill, and Empress Cao is immediately in trouble.

Doctor Kong took the Gu Yuan Dan from the small box, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, his expression became solemn:

"Although this medicine can temporarily restore vitality, if used for a long time, cinnabar will accumulate in the body, and even the Great Luo Immortal cannot save it."

He paused, a look of regret appeared on his face, he shook his head gently and sighed: "If it weren't for the excessive excitement, His Majesty's condition might not have deteriorated so much, and there might still be a glimmer of hope..."

A hint of understanding flashed in Imperial Concubine Chen's eyes. No wonder Imperial Concubine Jing was holding on so tightly in the Qianqing Palace. It turned out that she was waiting for her here.

She turned her head slightly and looked at Empress Cao. When they were in the Qianqing Palace, Empress Cao had obviously teamed up with Concubine Jing to deal with her.

At this time, Queen Cao's face was pale and her lips were trembling. She knew that she had no way to defend herself.

Imperial Concubine Jing's originally domineering appearance now turned into a look of sorrow. She pointed at Imperial Concubine Chen and said with deep sorrow:

"Imperial Concubine Chen, I originally intended to leave you with dignity. If it weren't for the things you did, how could the emperor become like this now.

It's all your fault. If anything happens to the emperor, you will be the regicide!"

Chen Zhengde stood up, walked behind Imperial Concubine Chen, lowered his eyes and warned her: "Imperial Concubine Jing, please be careful with your words!"

Zhao Xu snorted coldly: "General Chen has such great power, is he trying to rebel and usurp the throne?"

Chen Zhengde's face suddenly turned bad, thinking of what his father had said during breakfast and the current situation he and Consort Chen were facing.

Regardless of whether he intended to rebel or not, he would probably be charged with treason by Concubine Jing and the Second Prince.

Chen Zhengde said coldly: "The Second Prince and Imperial Concubine Jing keep saying they are plotting rebellion, but they are making things difficult for the Empress and Imperial Concubine Chen in their words and actions.

I would like to ask, Concubine Jing and the Second Prince, do you have any evidence to put them in an unjust position?"

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. No matter how Empress Cao and Noble Concubine Jing teamed up to frame Imperial Noble Concubine Chen in the Qianqing Palace, they can only huddle together temporarily for now.

Zhao Xu stood with his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and said, "My father is lying in the inner hall in an unknown condition. Empress, Royal Consort Chen, please don't blame me for being ruthless!"

He tilted his head and ordered in a deep voice: "Bring the people up!"

As if they had been prepared, a dying man dressed in eunuch clothes was brought in. He looked pale and his breath was weak, as if he would die at any time.

"This man is Tang Liu, who works at Wenyuan Pavilion. He was reported after the death of Concubine Shu in the cold palace. He was in the cold palace that day... The cause of Concubine Hui's death was not found, but the murder of Yongle seven years ago was found."

Zhao Xu said as he looked at Consort Shu and the Princess, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "It was this Tang Liu who pushed Yongle into the icy lake, and this Tang Liu was instructed by Consort Chen."

Imperial Concubine Jing then spoke up, "Imperial Concubine Chen did more than just this. She also caused me to almost have a premature birth.

But she directed the dirty water on Huipin, and now that she has regained her favor, she is afraid that the truth will be exposed, so she killed Huipin in the cold palace. "

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Zhengde, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile:

"Huipin is the biological sister of Imperial Consort Chen. General Chen, don't let Imperial Consort Chen use you. Be careful that the entire Chen family will be doomed once again!"

At this time, Qin Lang opened the curtain and walked out of the inner hall. He placed his hand on the embroidered spring sword at his side, lowered his eyes and looked at the empresses in the hall who were on edge, and the ministers with different expressions.

His face was stern and his eyes were sharp. He said, "The emperor has woken up."

The second prince glanced at Wang Xi and saw him standing a few steps away from Qin Lang with his head down. Zhao Xu frowned slightly and asked anxiously, "Master Qin, does the emperor have any instructions?"

"Your Majesty invites Duke Dingguo, Grand Secretary Yang, the Grand Justice Minister, and Lord Zhang to come to the audience together." Qin Lang looked at several old ministers and spoke.

Yang Daxueshi did not doubt him. He stood up and kept muttering, "It's good that he woke up. It's good that he woke up. I have said many times that the matter of establishing a crown prince cannot be delayed."

At this point, he couldn't help but look at Qin Lang and asked, "Did His Majesty say which prince to let get close?"

Wang Xi raised his head at this time, looked at Concubine Jing and the Second Prince and said, "Lord Qin is lying. The emperor has passed away."

The emperor has passed away!

Empress Cao stood up from her chair suddenly. Before she could recover from her shock, she was shocked by the news again, causing her voice to tremble:

"The emperor passed away? Did he leave any words behind?"

The young princes and princesses had already let out mournful cries, which echoed faintly in the quiet space.

Wang Xi hung his hands in front of him and said in a sharp voice: "The emperor originally planned to announce the succession of the crown prince at the sacrificial ceremony, and had already kept the edict of succession behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming"... All the queens and adults will know it at a glance."

Master Jiang Wu looked puzzled, looked at Qin Lang and asked, "I wonder what Master Qin meant by what he said just now? Why did you and Eunuch Wang come out of the palace one after the other, but say completely different things?"

After hearing this, Qin Lang asked, "Why, Lord Jiang, are you suspecting that I'm falsely conveying the emperor's instructions?"

The anger in his eyes didn't seem fake.

Master Jiang Wu looked calm and said slowly, "Lord Qin and Eunuch Wang were the last people to see His Majesty, but they said two different things. It's really incredible."

Chen Zhengde took a deep breath and said, "What's the point of arguing about this now? The imperial physician will go and check the cause of His Majesty's death, and then order someone to get the imperial edict from Eunuch Wang."

He bowed to Yang Daxueshi and said, "Dealing with the emperor's funeral is the first thing to do!"

Scholar Yang frowned at this time. Normally, he had no personal relationship with the Second Prince and the Chen family, but today he was pushed into the spotlight by them again and again.

The doors leading to the back hall were all pushed open, and the bright yellow curtain was lifted and hung on the door.

Doctor Kong knelt in front of the dragon bed with a solemn expression. After carefully examining it, he slowly knelt on the ground, his voice filled with endless sorrow and grief: "The emperor... has passed away!"

This statement was like a bolt from the blue. After hearing it, everyone turned pale, their legs went limp, and they all fell to the ground, crying out in grief: "Your Majesty..."

Concubine Jing stumbled over and threw herself on Emperor Jianyuan, "Your Majesty, you were pissed to death by Chen Yayun!" Concubine Jing's face was full of tears and she looked heartbroken.

Empress Cao straightened up, looked at Concubine Jing and rebuked her: "How insolent! Don't let your tears fall on the dragon's body and dirty His Majesty's reincarnation path!"

Queen Cao had a serious expression and her eyes revealed majesty.

Imperial Concubine Jing turned around and said, "This is not the only time I have been so unbridled in the eyes of the Queen!" Then she turned around and threw herself on His Majesty again, crying:

"Your Majesty, look! As soon as you left, the Queen's gentleness and kindness disappeared, and they all bullied me..."

Gu Jinchu heard the crying in the side hall. She held Madam Jiang's hand, her eyes revealing uneasiness. She whispered, "Mother, I'm afraid the emperor is not well."

Old Madam Jiang patted her hands and asked her softly, "Is Jinchu okay?" Her eyes were full of concern.

Gu Jinchu shook his head. At this time, the palace door was pushed open and a young eunuch walked over from a distance.

After scanning the women in the room, he walked to the side of Madam Jiang, bowed respectfully, and whispered:

"Madam, the Queen has ordered me to take you and the women to the Yikun Palace to rest."
