Eunuch Hai's vigilance made him feel more stressed, and the plan proposed by Concubine Wan was not feasible, but it was also full of risks.

His identity as a fake emperor could be exposed at any time, so he had to complete the plan as soon as possible to ensure that it would be foolproof.

As long as the third prince ascends the throne smoothly, his goal will be achieved.

Only because Wei has such a fool as emperor can Canglan breathe a sigh of relief.

These days, if I hadn't given them mother and son advice behind the scenes, it would have been harder than climbing to the sky for them to succeed.

"Someone come." The "Emperor" called a eunuch.

This eunuch previously served in Concubine Wan's palace, and was transferred to serve by her side yesterday.

"Your Majesty." The young eunuch bowed.

"You go and personally invite Prince Mo to the palace, and tell him that I have something to discuss with you. Be careful not to make it too public. Instead, just say that he wants to see me."

The external meaning is that no one should know that he sent someone to invite someone.

The eunuch took the order and left, and the "Emperor" sat on the dragon throne with his eyes closed in thought.

He knew that every next step was crucial, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything.

Cao Mengxing was writing a calligraphy painting in his study. When he learned that the emperor was looking for him, he changed his clothes and hurried into the palace.

When he saw the "Emperor", he bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, I, Cao Mengxing, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"My dear, please stand up. I summoned you here today because I have something to discuss with you."

Cao Mengxing stood up, secretly guessing the emperor's intentions.

He thought about it all the way when he came, but he couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to see him.

The "Emperor" sent out all the servants in the imperial study, including the Dragon Shadow Guard, and told him to stay away.

"Brother Xing, I am already 48 years old this year, and I am old. I have been thinking over and over again recently, and I feel that it is not appropriate to delay the appointment of a crown prince any longer. I wonder what you think about this?"

Cao Mengxing was stunned. The emperor didn't want to discuss such a big thing with him. Then he felt happy.

A few days ago, during the Heavenly Sacrifice, the Emperor encountered another assassination attempt by Canglan assassins. After investigation, it was found that they were subordinates of the former Crown Prince Canglan, seeking revenge for their master.

Concubine Wan Shu and the Third Prince saved the emperor from the assassination and established the throne. In recent days, the emperor has been very fond of the Third Prince. After the morning court session every day, he would keep the Third Prince and bring him to the Imperial Study for instruction.

Now that the Emperor has taken the initiative to mention the appointment of a crown prince, could it be that he wants to make the third prince the crown prince?

If the third prince is really made the crown prince, it will be of great benefit to his Prince Mo's Mansion.

The eldest prince has a scar on his face. Since ancient times, no emperor has ever had a scar on his face.

No matter how skilled Princess Zhenguo's medical skills are, it is impossible for her to be completely free of any abnormalities.

Then the emperor will only choose from other princes, and the third prince has been the most popular recently.

Thinking of this, Cao Mengxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prince is the foundation of the country.

The eldest prince is twenty-seven years old, and the third prince is twenty-one. It is indeed time to appoint a crown prince.

I believe that the Third Prince is both virtuous and talented, and is capable of shouldering this important responsibility."

The "Emperor" nodded with satisfaction: "My dear minister, you are right. However, this matter still needs to be discussed in the court. Are you willing to share my worries?"

Cao Mengxing was delighted again, as the emperor really liked the third prince.

At the same time, he also knew that this was the emperor testing his attitude.

Establishing a crown prince is a huge matter and will definitely cause controversy among court officials.

Moreover, the emperor cannot appoint anyone he wants to be crown prince. The opinions of the court officials are also very important. If too many people oppose the nomination, the crown prince cannot be appointed.

There are also several factions in the court. Currently, the eldest prince has the greatest advantage. Although he has lost face, he has the eldest grandson.

It is not impossible that some court officials would strongly suggest that the eldest grandson be made the crown prince and that the eldest prince assist him.

The eldest prince was more popular than the third prince. He knew this very well.

The Third Prince's wife is just pregnant now, and it is still unknown whether it is a boy or a girl.

But now that the emperor favors the third prince, his temperament has changed.

The emperor needs someone to help him overcome public opinion, so this is his great opportunity.

When Cao Mengxing thought of this, he knelt down without hesitation and said, "I am willing to serve the emperor and do my best to make this happen."

The Emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I feel relieved to have your help."

The two discussed the details again before Cao Mengxing took his leave.

When Cao Mengxing walked out of the imperial study, he was very excited.

As long as the third prince is made the crown prince, and he has recommended princes and followers, the status of the Mo Palace will surely rise, and Nanhua will have the opportunity to return to the capital.

At the same time, the "Emperor" was sitting in the imperial study, but he was not at ease.

He knew that every next step was full of unknown risks.

"Eunuch Hai..." "The Emperor" murmured in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Eunuch Hai is a smart man. If he continues to doubt, he will find the problem sooner or later.

This hidden danger must be resolved as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, the "Emperor" called a trusted guard and whispered a few words to him. This guard had just been promoted. He had been placed in the palace a long time ago.

The guards took the order and left, and he sat on the dragon throne, closing his eyes and thinking.

After all, his identity as the fake emperor could not be hidden from everyone.

But we have to hold on until the third prince is made the crown prince, otherwise everything will be in vain.

And he sacrificed so many of his subordinates.

On the other side, the prince returned to the palace and immediately found the emperor.

He told her about his encounter with Eunuch Sun.

"Hongyi, Eunuch Hai may be in danger. Although he is a eunuch, he has been with me since he was a teenager and has served me for decades. He has taken good care of me and I can't bear to see him die. Find a way to save him."

"I obey your order." The prince bowed.

He just thought that Eunuch Hai was in danger, so he came to ask for permission to see what the emperor would do.

The emperor is indeed a loyal person.

The prince returned to his study and thought deeply for a moment.

"An Yi."

"I am here."

"Go and invite the Crown Prince's Consort."

"yes."

Yu Yuanzheng was playing games with the children. When she learned that the prince was looking for her, she immediately went to the study in the outer courtyard.

"Meet the father."

"sit."

"I wonder why my father is looking for a daughter-in-law?"

"Eunuch Hai in the palace has aroused the suspicion of the fake emperor, and his life may be in danger. Do you have any suitable medicine to make him seriously ill so that he can temporarily stop serving the fake emperor?"

This is what the prince thought of.

If Eunuch Hai had not been serving in the imperial study and was too ill to get up, perhaps his life could have been saved.

After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng knew what her father meant.

"Yes, but it's not ready-made. And this medicine is best made into pills so that Eunuch Hai can swallow it directly."

"Well, then you should do it now. Give it to me before dark."

"yes."

Yu Yuanzheng returned to Qiyayuan and immediately asked someone to find Ziyue and Jianghua.

Tools that have not been used for a long time are taken out again.

The master and his two servants started tinkering with it again, and within the time limit set by the prince, they finally made a few Xiaoyao Pills that even the imperial doctors could not diagnose the disease.

After taking this medicine, people always feel drowsy and have difficulty standing.

The prince got the pills and immediately arranged for them to be sent to the palace.

The prince also has people in the palace.

That man was also a eunuch.

This person quietly asked Eunuch Hai, who was serving outside the imperial study, to move aside.

Explain your purpose.

"What does Prince Rong mean?" Eunuch Hai felt puzzled.

"Eunuch Hai, the prince has told you not to ask anything. You will know the answer later. You just need to listen to the prince and eat it. The prince will not harm you."

Eunuch Hai knew that the emperor and the prince had a close relationship, and he was a useful person by the emperor's side, so he would never harm him. He believed this.

Seeing how serious he was, Eunuch Hai swallowed the medicine on the spot.

"Eunuch Hai, for the rest, you should take one pill every day. Remember this."

Half an hour later, Eunuch Hai suddenly fainted outside the imperial study.

When the "Emperor" learned about it, he asked someone to invite the imperial physician on duty to see him.

The result was that Eunuch Hai had an acute illness and needed to stay in bed, but his life was not in danger.

As for the imperial physician on duty at night, the prince had sent someone to specifically instruct him to say so.

The imperial physician had received the prince's favor, so he would not refuse this.

Although Eunuch Hai was the chief steward of the Emperor, he was only a servant and could not obey the orders of the Prince.

When the "Emperor" got this result, he sighed in his heart: This castrated dog is so lucky.

He had arranged for him to die suddenly tonight, but he himself became very ill and was about to die.
