While drinking the light porridge, Emperor Hui paused and felt a little uncomfortable.
At first, the Queen sent nourishing thick soup, but after just over half a month, the food became more and more perfunctory, so she directly changed it to porridge.
According to her, since he was in this state, there was no need for him to eat well.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is this porridge not to your taste?" The Queen's gaze paused on Emperor Hui for a moment.
Oh no, she almost found out, Emperor Hui felt nervous.
He quickly restrained his expression and looked at her foolishly: "Hey, it tastes good."
[Haha, from the sound of his voice, it feels like Daddy is a bit silly]
[Daddy’s acting skills are pretty good. If I didn’t know you were pretending, I would have been fooled by you.]
Mu Nanyan, who was hiding in the closet, heard their conversation and couldn't help but complain silently.
Emperor Hui: Yan'er, how can you speak of your father like that?
Fortunately, no one else heard it, otherwise he would have lost face.
Tsk, idiot.
Seeing Emperor Hui like this, the Queen felt a sense of revenge.
Who made him favor the late concubine's family and be indifferent to her? All the affection she had for him in the past had long been worn away by his indifference.
These days, she brought him "carefully" prepared food every day, and it was all her credit that he became like this now.
She picked up the empty bowl, filled it with porridge, and handed it to Emperor Hui: "Since Your Majesty likes to drink it, these are all for Your Majesty."
Emperor Hui lowered his eyes and looked at the porridge in the Queen's hand, feeling a little pain in his stomach.
If he really finished drinking all of this, he would have no chance of surviving today.
He grabbed the queen's hand, took the bowl, and put it on the table, "Drink later."
When the queen saw that he had already drunk a bowl, she let him do as he pleased.
Besides, the purpose of her coming here today was not this, but to find a way to get Emperor Hui to write an imperial edict.
The imperial edicts of the Nanzhao Kingdom had to be signed by the emperor himself and stamped with the imperial seal.
Thinking of Emperor Hui's current situation, she had already prepared the contents of the imperial edict in advance.
"Your Majesty, let's play a game. You write the contents of this paper here." As she spoke, she took out the blank imperial edict unique to the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Emperor Hui immediately understood her plan. It turned out that the queen was waiting for him here.
The imperial edict cannot be written casually. Once it is announced, the people will take it seriously and the consequences will be serious.
He had a sad face and pushed the imperial edict in front of him, "I don't want it."
The queen did not have as much strength as he did, and she was almost knocked down by Emperor Hui, looking very embarrassed.
She glared at him fiercely, and if she hadn't known he was already stupid, she would have thought he did it on purpose.
The queen did not give up and came forward with the imperial edict.
Emperor Hui had a headache and wondered what to do.
Suddenly, an idea struck him.
He covered his stomach, tears streaming down his eyes, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much, is there something wrong with the porridge?"
The queen felt a little guilty when he asked her, so she had to find an excuse to hide it. "How can there be any problem with this porridge? Your Majesty, you have to believe me."
"How about I send someone to call the imperial physician to take a look at you?"
Emperor Hui looked pale and urged her patiently, "Go quickly."
The queen observed that his reaction did not seem fake, so she hurried out to call for help.
If he was really unwell, the imperial edict would be delayed.
Only when the empress was out of sight did Emperor Hui take a deep breath, with beads of sweat dripping down his face.
Mu Nanyan heard that the queen had gone out and came out of the cabinet.
Emperor Hui was still thinking about how to trick the Queen over, when he looked up, he saw Mu Nanyan coming out.
"Dad, you acted very well." Mu Nanyan joked.
Emperor Hui was so angry that he laughed. He had good acting skills, but he was forced into a desperate situation.
In order to stop his daughter from teasing him, Emperor Hui asked her, "Yan'er, how about I hide this imperial seal?"
As long as they can't find the imperial seal, the imperial edict is of no use.
"Dad, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Why don't you just do as they say?" Mu Nanyan pretended to be mysterious.
It was not until now that Mu Nanyan understood the conspiracy of the Queen and Shen Kuo. It turned out that they wanted to seize power and usurp the throne.
They drugged Emperor Hui to control him and forged the imperial edict. It is estimated that they will force him to abdicate later.
What? Do what they say.
At first, I thought he had heard it wrong. Could it be that Yan'er had a better idea?
Emperor Hui looked at Mu Nanyan inquiringly, "What does Yan'er mean by this?"
Mu Nanyan found a chair and sat down. She finally felt comfortable.
Her feet almost went numb in the closet just now.
"What it means is that you write whatever they ask you to write, but whether the imperial edict can have any effect is not your problem."
They stared at Dad and asked him to write. He couldn't refuse, but he could start from other places.
Then, she took out a bottle from somewhere and said, "Daddy, when the queen isn't paying attention, sprinkle this potion into the ink."
"When you touch it with a brush, you can see what is written at that time, but after two days, the writing will disappear."
"Then this imperial edict will be invalid, and no one will be able to remove this potion."
This was a potion she had developed when she was bored, and she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
This is simply a cheating tool.
Mu Nanyan smiled slyly: "I want to see what kind of wonderful expressions they will have when they see this blank imperial edict."
Shen Kuo was a suspicious person, and he might even think that the queen was deliberately trying to trip him up.
It’s exciting to think about how they will fight among themselves at that time.
When Emperor Hui heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Really? Yan'er, you are really my lucky star."
With Yan'er here, these are not a problem.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside, and it was estimated that the queen was coming.
Mu Nanyan took the opportunity to hide in the closet again, waiting for the queen to make a move.
Earlier, when the Queen came out of the Imperial Study, she immediately felt something was wrong.
If she brought the imperial physician here and he found something wrong with Emperor Hui, then all her work these days would be in vain.
So she sent someone to the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine. After Emperor Hui drank the medicine, his stomachache went away.
After getting the medicine, the queen hurried back.
She pushed open the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Emperor Hui sitting quietly at the table.
Fortunately, he didn't run around.
"Your Majesty, does your stomach still hurt? The imperial physician said that as long as you take this medicine, your stomach will be better." The queen stretched out her hand and handed over the medicine.
At this moment, Emperor Hui looked much better, not so pale anymore. He said calmly, "My stomach doesn't hurt that much anymore."
"Thank you for the medicine."
That's good, now it's time to get down to business.
The Queen once again took out the imperial edict. She suppressed her excitement and raised her lips slightly, "Then Your Majesty, let's continue what we were doing before."
Emperor Hui looked somewhat helpless, but he still agreed to her request.
He took the blank imperial edict, took out a brush, and copied down the contents on the paper one by one.
As expected of an emperor, his handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and he wrote down all the contents in just a short moment.
