Chapter 320: Appointed as Crown Prince

"It's not a pity for this old minister to die, but even if I die, this old minister still has to say, Your Majesty, for Dongyao, you should still appoint a crown prince!"

Emperor Xuande angrily said, "What if I don't establish him? Or what if I don't establish him?"

He pointed at Xie Xundao.

"Your Majesty, you know that I am right. No prince can compare to Xie Xun. The Eighth Prince is indeed intelligent, but he has been demoted to a commoner."

"You..." Emperor Xuande snorted coldly, "Gu Jian, if I don't make him the emperor, are you planning to force him to abdicate?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not. I am only a military man, and I only know how to lead troops in battle. But if there is a wise and benevolent ruler, the morale of the soldiers will be high and they will be invincible. But if there is a foolish and incompetent ruler, even if I have great abilities, I will have no place to display them."

"Okay, very good, you all forced me to do this." Emperor Xuande roared, "You are even more hateful than Concubine Rong."

The two men lowered their heads, but in their hearts they both admitted that he was right.

"And you, little girl, are not a good person either."

Li Mumu puffed out her cheeks, "Mumu, you're innocent."

"You are not wronged at all. You could have made me better earlier, but you insisted on making me lie there and listen to Concubine Rong's plot against me. If I had woken up earlier, Concubine Rong's plot would have been in vain, and today's situation would not have happened. You did it on purpose, deliberately leaving me isolated and helpless, and not listening to you. Are you still planning to kill the king?"

Several people shook their heads and said they didn't dare.

But Emperor Xuande believed that they were not afraid, but he knew that he would definitely agree.

"Your Majesty, the prince was wronged back then. You can't make the same mistake over and over again."

"How dare you speak to me like that? I sentence you to death."

Mr. Bai laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you forgot that I am going to die by hitting my head against a pillar. Since I am going to die anyway, I will say everything I want to say. Your Majesty, you still have a chance to make amends."

Emperor Xuande was so angry that he almost fainted. "You all have the ability to take advantage of others' misfortune."

"You are much more cruel than your father."

Xie Xun looked at him coldly, "So I can live longer than my father."

"You..." Emperor Xuande said angrily, "He never dared to speak to me like that. He is the most filial son. If he knew that you brought people to force me to make you the crown prince, he would call you an unfilial descendant."

"I think you have heard everything the two lords said just now. If scolding me would make you feel better, then go ahead. I never knew the two lords had such thoughts. I don't care about the throne as much as you do. I have already got what I wanted today."

Xie Xun said calmly: "It's just for the sake of the people of the world, you should choose a good emperor."

After saying that, he glanced at Li Mumu and said, "I'm going back first."

Emperor Xuande didn't expect that Xie Xun would leave like this.

He has a bad temper?

"Who does this child look like?" asked Emperor Xuande.

"He's your eldest son and grandson, so of course he looks like you." Old Master Bai said, "Your Majesty, which pillar do you want me to hit? Which one is harder? If I don't die this time, you'll think I'm acting."

Li Mumu almost laughed out loud.

Emperor Xuande was about to curse. He looked at Mr. Bai and asked, "Do you really think he will be a good emperor?"

"Maybe he is not the best, but compared to the other princes, he is the most suitable one." Old Master Bai said seriously.

Emperor Xuande sighed and said, "Go get a pen."

…

At the General's Mansion, Xie Xun sat on the roof, watching the twinkling stars in the night sky being gradually replaced by the rising sun.

When the little girl sat next to him, he didn't turn his head to look, but still moved the place where he had been sitting to give it to her.

Li Mumu was not polite either.

"I failed to completely avenge my parents." Xie Xun said lightly.

"He is the emperor, your grandfather. Even if he is wrong, no one can really do anything to him. If you kill him, you will be disloyal and unfilial, and you will bear the infamy."

"I don't care." Xie Xun sneered, "Compared to him, I'm more afraid of getting you into trouble."

Li Mumu raised her lip, "But he won't live long."

"Did you do it?" Xie Xun asked nervously. He didn't want the little girl's hands to be stained with blood.

"I should have come if I had known."

Li Mumu shook her head, "No, it's Concubine Rong."

"Aren't you cured?"

"He was poisoned a long time ago. The poison has penetrated into his lungs over the years and is incurable. Even if I were a god, I wouldn't be able to save him. In fact, even without this, he wouldn't have much longer to live. After this, he has even fewer days left."

"He was killed by someone he trusted. It was really what he deserved," Xie Xun said sarcastically.

"I don't really want to be an emperor." Xie Xun said, "I think life in the North is pretty good."

"I think so too." Li Mumu said with a smile, "So we plan to go back."

"What? You're leaving? You all are leaving?"

Xie Xun looked at her in disbelief.

Li Mumu nodded. "After Grandpa has overawed Beimo, he will retire. He and Grandma are old, so of course I have to take care of them."

"What about me?" Xie Xun looked at her nervously, "Will I come back?"

"Yes, my mother and the others are still in the capital."

Xie Xun breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that if he deserted the battlefield at this moment, the efforts of General Gu and Bai Xiang would be in vain. Bai Xiang also retired and returned home.

The two elders used this to appease Emperor Xuande's anger.

After all, he was the emperor before he died.

"Look, it's dawn. It's a sunny day today." Li Mumu said with a smile.

Regarding the palace coup, Rong Fei's actions, and the injustice suffered by the former crown prince, there will be witnesses and evidence announced to the world at today's morning court.

After all, Xie Xun needs a legitimate identity.

After making the announcement, Emperor Xuande vomited blood and fainted in the hall.

Because Doctor Guo and others were directly executed for participating in the rebellion, Emperor Xuande ordered people to bring Li Mumu to the palace after he woke up.

"Mumu, I have already appointed a crown prince. Does that mean I don't have much time left?" asked Emperor Xuande.

Li Mumu knew that he still suspected them, so she told him the truth that Concubine Rong had given him a chronic poison.

"Your Majesty, Mumu did not lie to you."

Emperor Xuande sighed, "Perhaps this is God's punishment for me."

Li Mumu said it was not easy. Even such a conceited person knew that he had done something wrong.

"I wanted you to marry my son, but I didn't expect you to marry my grandson." Emperor Xuande sneered, "You are destined to be a member of the royal family."

Li Mumu shook her head, "Not necessarily."

Emperor Xuande looked shocked.

Li Mumu smiled. She had no idea about the position of queen. There was blood and gore in the palace and many conspiracies. She would rather make money and become a small landlord to live a safe and comfortable life.

Emperor Xuande smiled and said, "But I think it will definitely happen. You can't get away."
