Chapter 283: Named Prince Zhong

But it was not her who escaped, but Eunuch Su who escaped.

A hint of determination and resoluteness flashed in the queen's eyes. If the emperor woke up today, she would not be able to escape death.

She can die, but the prince and Qian Meng must live.

She failed to help the prince back then, and she cannot endanger his life today.

He said resolutely, "Eunuch Su, go to this palace and fetch that thousand-year-old ginseng. The emperor has just woken up and his body is very weak. He needs to be nourished."

"Your Highness, Linxi can only help you so far. In the future, you must fulfill your ambition and ascend the throne. Linxi is watching from heaven as you become the True Dragon Emperor. You, Your Highness, are the only one in this world worthy of the title."

Shen Zhao couldn't help but frown as he listened to the Queen's thoughts.

Pang Linxi would not be a fool to be able to sit on the throne of queen.

How could a smart, ruthless and calculating woman really not see that her lover was just using her!

"I obey your order." A hint of disgust flashed in Eunuch Su's eyes. Fortunately, this idiot knew to send him away first and did not let him be executed together.

This is really a troublesome thing. If I could not hook up with Wu Shuyue, I would have chosen this idiot as a second choice.

It wouldn't have been possible for him to not regain power after all these years.

"Wait!" Just as Eunuch Su was about to leave, the Third Prince, who was watching from the side, spoke up.

"There's no rush for Queen Mother to ask Eunuch Su to fetch the thousand-year-old ginseng. After all, when my father was on the verge of death, Queen Mother didn't even think of fetching the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Now that Queen Mother has sent Eunuch Su away, I have to wonder if Eunuch Su is involved in my father's murder!"

The queen's expression suddenly turned fierce.

"You are doubting me! I am your mother, how can you make random assumptions? Don't let your majesty's favor make you forget your own identity."

[Damn Wu Shuyue, you've fought me for half your life, and now even this beast you gave birth to dares to disrespect me!]

[Even if I die, I will not let these people have their way. If I die suddenly, Wu Hongzhong and the other factions will immediately take action, and Southern Chu will surely be in chaos. I am watching from heaven, watching how these people die in such an untimely manner!]

Chen Zhao spoke at the right time, "Your Majesty the Empress, Your Highness the Third Prince, please do not delay any longer. Eunuch Su is afraid that he cannot leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony right now. The Emperor has just sent people to surround the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Emperor has orally ordered that only the dead can leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

The queen subconsciously glanced at Eunuch Su, her fists clenched tightly in her sleeves, her long nails digging deep into her flesh. No matter what, she would not let anything happen to the prince.

The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed!

"I know, but I need you, an outsider, to speak more. Eunuch Su, please follow me in."

The queen angrily flicked her sleeves and walked inside.

The Third Prince looked at the Queen and sneered, "Let's see how long you can continue to be so arrogant."

When he glanced at Chen Zhao, the displeasure in his eyes became even stronger.

[You meddlesome person! If my father were to pass away, I would take this opportunity to attack and put the Queen and her son to death!]

Chen Zhao listened to the Third Prince's thoughts. Once the Emperor died, whether this fake Prince could still be alive was another matter. He also wanted to execute the Queen and her son on the spot. It was simply a fantasy.

Shen Zhao was the last one to enter.

I happened to hear the old emperor's weak voice.

"You useless people, no matter what method you use, you must restore the memory I lost.

Who is it that assassinated me?

Why would I forget, why? "

At the end of this, the old emperor became furious.

Shen Zhao knew clearly that the old emperor had taken Li Yuwan's words to heart.

This means he plans to keep his troops in place and leave the queen behind.

Shen Zhao looked at the Queen and Eunuch Su, and clearly saw that they were relieved.

[Useless old thing, he actually forgot who wanted to kill him, he must have been scared silly! Why did he wake up? It would be better to die, then I can be crowned the emperor!]

The third prince gave the emperor a vicious look.

[Father is still planning to hold back. Father has suffered so much. When I am fully grown, I will definitely help you eliminate those villains, including her!]

The prince's face showed joy at having survived a disaster.

"Where is Lord Chu?" the old emperor's voice sounded again.

Shen Zhao walked from the back of the crowd and walked forward through the crowd.

In just a few steps, I gained countless voices.

It made her head feel like it was going to explode.

It's all useless news.

Shut up!

Her world suddenly became quiet.

"Your Majesty, I am here, please give your instructions."

The old emperor waved to Shen Zhao, "Come here, I have something to announce."

Shen Zhao walked towards the old emperor under everyone's suspicious gaze.

The old emperor raised his hand and grabbed Shen Zhao's wrist, and announced to everyone:

"I know who saved me. If it weren't for Lord Chu, I'm afraid I would be... Lord Chu's pure love for me, I see it with my own eyes and remember it in my heart.

Today, I announce that I will adopt Lord Chu as my adopted son and bestow upon him the title of Prince Zhong."

As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, everyone had different expressions.

Although he didn't agree with the emperor's decision to adopt General Chu as his adopted son and make him a king.

But now no one dares to stand up and oppose.

Only someone who doesn't care about his life would offend the emperor at this time.

Li Zhan, who was hiding in the crowd, glanced at the old emperor who had just woken up, and then looked at Shen Zhao, still finding him annoying.

Shen Zhao had just heard the old emperor's thoughts and knew that the old emperor would adopt her as his adopted son, but she did not expect that the old emperor would make her a king.

An extremely manic voice suddenly sounded in Shen Zhao's mind.

[My father is so old and confused that he actually adopted a man named Chu as his adopted son and made him a king!

This is a naked humiliation to me. Among all the princes, I am the only one who has not been crowned king.

Although staying in Kyoto seems to be highly honored, once he loses power he will be in an irretrievable situation.

No, I want to take this opportunity to be crowned king too.

Otherwise, if even my adopted son is a prince, how can I, a prince, survive in Kyoto?

The third prince stood out from the crowd.

First, with tears in her eyes, she said:

"Father, you have finally awakened. You have no idea how worried I was about you. Mother risked everything for you, almost getting punished. It was all because of my incompetence that I was bullied. If only I could be crowned a king and have my own elite troops like my brothers..."

"I understand your good intentions. My dear, I have worried you. Are you still not well? Go back home and rest quickly. You cannot let me put your health at risk. Someone, take the Third Prince back to his mansion and take good care of him. Don't let him leave the mansion again until his injuries are healed."

The old emperor directly interrupted the third prince who was about to ask for a title.

Immediately, guards and palace servants came forward and surrounded the third prince.

The Third Prince's face immediately turned cold, and he said to Concubine Hui, "Mother, I am worried about the safety of my father. I am not afraid of hardship, but I am afraid that thieves will harm my father, and that evil people will bully you. Please persuade my father to let me stay."

He couldn't leave, he couldn't make himself a laughing stock of the Southern Chu Kingdom.

Concubine Hui covered her face with a handkerchief. To outsiders, she looked like she was crying very sadly and didn't care what the Third Prince was shouting.

Only Shen Zhao heard Concubine Hui speaking irritably in her heart.
