Chapter 373 This Waste Can’t Die Yet
Lu Xinran could see that what Yunsong liked most was to seduce people and make them unconsciously be attracted by him when they were off guard.
What he said was true no matter to whom he spoke.
If Zhang Yongping wants to keep the peace of the Zhang family forever, the best way to end it all is to seize the world.
The Queen wanted to avoid being constrained by all parties, and the best outcome for her was to ascend the throne and become the Empress.
As for Zhong Rui, Lu Xinran was now somewhat curious, wondering if this man had also been seduced by Yunsong.
She raised her head, blinking her eyes as she continued to look at Song Junyan.
She knew how hard he had worked for the throne over the past year.
I also know why he wants to seize the throne.
If, whether it is the Zhang family or Zhong Rui, after they take over the world, they all have a desire to make a living for the people of the world, does he still want this world?
Being an emperor seemed to be quite tiring. He had to get up at 3 p.m., attend court at 4 p.m., and only have breakfast at 7 p.m. After that, he had to review memorials and meet with court officials, check on his children and grandchildren's homework, ride a horse and shoot arrows to exercise... Not only was he busy from morning till night, but he also had no rest all year round.
Even if he was so strict, he would not necessarily become a good emperor who would be remembered for generations.
If someone wants to guard this world, can they just withdraw?
But it doesn't seem easy to get away with it unscathed.
Even if they really have no interest in this world, someone has to be willing to believe it.
The queen looked towards the square in the direction of Yunsong's finger. Her eyes were heavy. After a long while, she spoke calmly under Yunsong's half-smile.
"Indeed, freedom that requires dependence on others is the most ridiculous, but the so-called throne is just another kind of shackles."
Power is like a magical poppy that makes people unable to stop and yet controlled by it.
She has been trapped in this imperial city for so many years, and has become indifferent to everything through all the ups and downs.
What others strive for is never what she wants.
Yunsong didn't have time to put away the smile on his face. He looked at the calm empress with some surprise, then turned and grinned at Zhang Yongping.
"Duke Zhenguo, your daughter is great. If she doesn't compete with you, there will be one less obstacle on your way to the throne."
Zhang Yongping had already let him go and was standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, exuding a powerful aura.
"It's okay for her to fight."
After all, he is a member of the Zhang family and has no descendants, so the world will eventually be handed back to the Zhang family.
He was old and had never been obsessed with the throne.
All he wanted was the safety of his descendants.
Therefore, no matter how Yunsong provoked him, he remained calm.
They were all like gourds with sawn mouths, making no sound, so Yunsong suddenly felt bored when he could no longer see the excitement.
He turned around, trying to provoke Song Junyan and Lu Xinran with words, but when he turned around, he saw them still looking at each other affectionately.
What bad luck!
What time is it!
The only thing on his mind is love and other such shameful things!
If he really became the emperor, all the women in the world would be at his disposal and any one he wanted could be brought into the palace.
He snorted in disgust and turned his head reluctantly to look at Song Junhua and Song Junsheng who were already frightened.
"You have been planning for so long, especially you, who dug most of the idiot's wall. Didn't you anticipate that something unexpected would happen? You rushed into the palace at night, not to see when this bastard would die, right?"
Song Junsheng and Song Junhua: "..."
Of course not!
How dare they curse their own father? They, no, why did they enter the palace?
Both of them were confused until Lu Xinran kindly reminded them.
[You came to the palace to find out when the emperor would wake up. You both wanted to find out about the vacancy of the doctor in the Ministry of Revenue. You both wanted to help your own people take the position. You didn't trust each other, so you came to the palace together.]
The two were slightly dazed. Yes, they entered the palace for this matter.
So many things happened in just these two hours, and the series of twists and turns made their request extremely ridiculous.
While everyone else was plotting how to seize the world, they were... scheming against each other for a fifth-rank official position.
These people seem to be very short-sighted and have such a narrow vision!
They both lowered their heads, ignoring anyone's gaze.
All they care about now is whether they can leave the palace alive.
"You're giving up after such a small setback? Don't you control more than half of the court? Why don't you give it one last try?
"We're going to die anyway, so fighting to the death will make it seem more spectacular, right?"
They both: “…”
Just shut up!
What kind of life and death? They don't like to hear that!
The emperor, who was being pressed down by the empress dowager, suddenly began to twitch. He woke up from his coma and started shaking again.
"Medicine, give me medicine quickly!"
He feels so uncomfortable, he needs to take the pills quickly.
The Queen Mother was startled by his sudden reaction and immediately burst into tears.
"Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"
All that awaited her was silence and no one responded. The palace maids who had been guarding inside and outside the palace had all disappeared since Yunsong appeared.
Only Fu Hai has been hiding in the corner, trying hard to make everyone ignore his existence.
The Queen Mother's panicked eyes swept across the palace, finally landing on him.
"Fu Hai! Are you dead? Can't you see that the emperor is not feeling well and needs to summon the imperial physician immediately?"
Fu Hai fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, huddled together and dared not move.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. Among all the people in this palace, he is the only one who is most likely to be punished by the gods' anger.
He had been afraid just now, but in the end he couldn't escape.
The Queen Mother couldn't call him, and her heart was already icy cold.
Is this, God wants to kill both mother and son?
Yunsong walked forward and kicked the emperor's trembling body in disgust, then he took out two pills from his arms with his skinny fingers and threw them in front of the empress dowager.
"Give it to him."
This piece of junk cannot die yet.
No matter who finally kills his way to the top, he will need this waste to write the edict of succession and appear in front of the court officials.
The empress dowager didn't care whether the pill was covered in dust after being thrown on the ground. She hurriedly handed the pill to the emperor's mouth. The emperor's whole body was convulsing. Smelling the familiar smell, he became fierce. He leaned over, opened his mouth and bit the empress dowager's finger.
"Ah! Open your mouth, let me go!"
The emperor bit very hard, and the empress dowager screamed and wailed. It took her a long time to pull her fingers out of the emperor's mouth.
The bite was so hard that two fingers were bleeding.
Lu Xinran felt it hurt just by taking a glance.
"This is what your most precious son has given you. Haven't you given him all your motherly love? It's just two fingers. Why can't you give them to him as well?"
Yunsong hid half of his face in the shadows, his smile extremely cold.
The empress dowager did not dare to look him in the eye because of his scorpion-like gaze. She hugged the emperor who was gradually calming down after taking the medicine, and tears finally rolled out of her eyes.
