Chapter 244 Palace Change

"Your Majesty? It's almost time for breakfast..."

Jiang Dehai's gentle call not only failed to wake Wen Chengfeng, but instead pulled Jiang Mengyuan out of her sleep. Feeling the warmth on her eyelids, she opened her eyes, intending to call Wen Chengfeng in a gentle voice.

But before she could open her mouth, she saw Wen Chengfeng's lips, so white they were almost transparent, and she shrank back to the corner of the bed. If anything happened to Wen Chengfeng, she would be the first person to be suspected, and she might even be buried with him.

She had clearly opened the windows of the palace, so the toxicity should have been greatly reduced. Could it be that the emperor's health had already failed due to the accumulation of poison over the years?

She stretched out her hand tremblingly to check his breath, and only after confirming that Wen Chengfeng was still alive did she feel relieved.

"Jiang Dehai, the emperor was exhausted last night. Since there is no morning court today, let him sleep until he wakes up naturally."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Mengyuan suddenly realized that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Her top priority should be to contact her father. She was just a woman, and there were always limits to what she could do, but her father was different.

"Your Majesty is right. Take care, Your Majesty."

Jiang Dehai responded respectfully, watching Jiang Mengyuan's hurried steps and sighing softly. From the moment Jiang Mengyuan opened her mouth, I'm afraid the love between husband and wife had already faded.

Jiang Mengyuan hurried back to her palace. She had Suxin hang a bell at the palace gate and waited for Huang Haitian to arrive. As expected, the palace was densely populated with her father's spies. Less than five minutes after the wind bell was hung, Huang Haitian had already arrived at the Queen's Palace.

"The Queen has something to tell you." Huang Haitian was actually a little dissatisfied. The Queen wasn't as steady as the Master, and she kept coming here every now and then, not afraid of being exposed. This time, it better be something serious...

"Please inform the family that the emperor has been poisoned and is near death. The news has not yet leaked. Father, please handle it as soon as possible."

Jiang Mengyuan didn't waste any words and gave the information concisely. As for the reason why the emperor was poisoned, she didn't mention it at all. Huang Haitian was not worthy of knowing it.

Such important news made Huang Haitian instantly put away his absent-minded attitude. He immediately put on a stern face, left the queen's bedroom and began to report the news to Jiang Nantian.

When Jiang Nantian received the news, the brush he was about to write with fell onto the paper, smearing it into a blob of ink. He was incredibly excited to finally be able to carry out the plan he had been waiting for for so many years.

"Come here, inform our people in the city to prepare to arm themselves and surround the palace. We must capture the king first!"

It was true that Jiang Nantian wanted to be emperor, but he also wanted a decree of abdication and succession. He did not want to sit on the throne with the stigma of being a traitor. Therefore, this time he wanted to take advantage of the emperor's critical illness to gain a legitimate position for himself.

At this time, Cheng Weiyao was shocked as she watched the rebels pouring in. They had never imagined that such a large number of rebels were actually hiding among the people of the capital, and that they came from all walks of life.

"Why are you all just lying there, looking around? If you don't want to live, just say so!"

A slap landed on the back of Cheng Weiyao's head. She squinted her eyes and saw Sun Youcai's smug face.

"Your Majesty, you are here. Please come this way. The old emperor is already under control. Now everything is ready, except you..."

Sun Youcai was showing off in front of the captured palace maids, but when he turned around, he saw the Grand Tutor walking towards him in a golden dragon robe. He immediately put on a lapdog face.

Jiang Nantian nodded slightly, then ignored the palace maids kneeling on the ground and walked straight into the emperor's exclusive palace.

The old man Jiang Dehai was naturally gagged and tied up and thrown in front of Wen Chengfeng's bed. He looked at Jiang Nantian who came in and subconsciously wanted to use his body to block Wen Chengfeng.

"You've got a good dog. Even at this time, he's still thinking of protecting you. It's a pity that you've sat on the throne of emperor for long enough. Now it's time to return it to me..."

Jiang Nantian still admired Jiang Dehai, but it was a pity that he had poor judgment and chose the wrong side. Therefore, he kicked Jiang Dehai away, sat down in front of the bed, and took out the abdication edict and succession edict that he had already drafted.

"I know you're still breathing. I'll just ask you once: where is the imperial seal? You don't want your old dog to die before your eyes, do you? Oh, and there are Wen Chengyun, Wen Liyu, and Wen Chengming..."

Jiang Nantian looked at Wen Chengfeng lying on the bed and asked slowly. He didn't have that much time to fight a protracted war. After all, there was still Wen Chengyun in the capital. Only by getting rid of the emperor as soon as possible could he take action against the Qingping Palace.

"In..." Wen Chengfeng raised his hand with great effort, but before he could point to a specific location, his eyelids drooped, his hand drooped, and fell on the bed.

This time it was Jiang Nantian's turn to be dumbfounded. He hadn't even finished his words when he was already standing there? Just in case, he reached out his hand to check Wen Chengfeng's breath, but unexpectedly, his hand was grabbed by him the moment it reached out.

"Teacher, why are you so anxious? Don't worry, you will definitely leave earlier than me!"

Wen Chengyun, who was dressed up as Wen Chengfeng, grabbed Jiang Nantian's arm with his backhand, forcing him to fall on the bed, and then took off the human skin mask on his face.

This sudden change made Jiang Nantian want to call Sun Youcai outside to bring people for support. However, with the sound of Wen Chengyun coming in, all the people rushing into the hall were Jinwu Guards.

Obviously, within these few short minutes, the situation outside had undergone a subversive change, and all this was thanks to Cheng Weiyao, who mixed in with the crowd and unceremoniously sprinkled a handful of knockout drugs.

"Despicable! So you've already planned this, to trick me! I want to see the Emperor!"

Jiang Nantian was angry and anxious. He clamored for the real Wen Chengfeng to come out and talk, and frankly admitted that he had an antidote that could completely cure the disease that had plagued him for many years.

"Antidote? We don't need it. You'd better go to the prison and wait for your punishment."

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Wen Chengfeng finally stepped out from the part of the bed that looked like a wall. This was a means of survival for him, and it was also one of the important reasons why concubines would not stay in the inner palace.

"What a cunning father and son you are. But no matter what, I taught them both. It's no loss for me to fall into your hands!" Jiang Nantian had a bitter look on his face and a hint of emotion in his tone. It seemed that he was planning to surrender.

Wen Chengfeng waved his hand, signaling the Jinwu Guards to take over Wen Chengyun's action and detain Jiang Nantian. After all, there was still a lot of finishing work to be done with his son regarding this palace coup.

But at the moment of handover, an accident happened, and Jiang Nantian broke free from the Jinwu Guard's hand like a living loach.

He fled to the outer hall and bumped into someone entering the hall!
