A few days later.
Great view of Kyoto.
Because Emperor Jing had not attended court for many days, many people speculated about the severity of his illness, fearing that he would not be able to survive. After all, even if His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was now acting as the governor and seemed to be doing a good job, it would be natural for him to ascend the throne.
However, since ancient times, when a new emperor ascends the throne, it is always easy for other countries to cause trouble at the beginning.
Just as they were feeling this worry and anxiety, accurate news came that Princess Jing'an, who was previously sent to Xiyue to marry, had not only chosen a consort in Xiyue, but was also highly valued by the Emperor of Xiyue. Now, the consort and the princess were sent to Dajing for a return visit!
This is really great news!
After all, among the surrounding countries, Xiyue Kingdom is the most powerful.
As long as we have good relations with the West Moon Kingdom, even if a new emperor ascends the throne and the regime is not stable enough and is too busy to handle various matters, no other country will dare to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos!
Not only were the people outside speculating and worried about Emperor Jing's health, the court officials were not much better either.
At this moment, in the imperial study of the Dajing Palace.
Chang Sunjue, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly threw away the memorial he was reading, "This bunch of stubborn old bastards!"
The confidant beside him bowed his head and said, "Master, those court officials are still kneeling outside, demanding to see the emperor."
"Seeking an audience with the Emperor? They are just short of pointing their finger at me and asking if my father is under my control and imprisonment! Since these stubborn people cannot be subdued no matter what, there is no need for me to keep them alive!"
"Master, no. These officials have survived the bloody coup of the previous emperor and the ascension of the emperor. The former regent did not kill them. Master... Besides, accurate news has come that Xiyue's consort and his entourage will arrive in Kyoto in the next two days. It is really not a good time for anything else to happen..."
Chang Sun Jue's eyes were filled with viciousness and cruelty, "This king can't wait any longer! Although Xiyue's marriage was successful, Fengluan also suddenly appeared in Xiyue. Who knows if this marriage in Xiyue is a cover? Besides, Jing'an is the Queen Mother's person, and this king has never believed in this grandmother! Besides, that bitch Ling Jing is also in Xiyue, and this king can't let any accidents happen!"
The viciousness in his eyes was raging wildly, "Father has been ill for so many days, it's time for him to become seriously ill!"
At this moment, a eunuch hurried in.
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."
Chang Sun Jue said angrily, "What's wrong again!"
The eunuch didn't dare to look at him at all, and trembled as he said, "The ladies in the harem have requested to see the emperor many times, and after being refused to serve him, they have now gone to the empress dowager to make a scene..."
"Let them make a fuss all they want. Anyway, these women and the Queen Mother won't live for more than a few days!"
He kicked the young eunuch again, "I promoted you, and this is how you do things? How dare you come in and disturb me with such an insignificant matter! You are such a brainless person!"
The eunuch who was kicked away immediately rolled and crawled to his knees again. He had to say, "There is... there is one more thing. The Queen somehow avoided the guards and broke into the Weiyang Palace of Concubine Hui..."
"W...what?!" Chang Sun Jue gritted his teeth and uttered the word "kill".
"How do you do things? Where are the guards?"
Chang Sun Jue really wanted to kill all these useless things. If it weren’t for the fact that he was in great need of people right now, and that his people were needed in all aspects, and that he and his mother’s people were completely insufficient, why would they use so many useless things!
Walking out from behind the dragon case, "Where is that woman!"
The young eunuch was stunned and immediately replied, "Your Highness, the Empress is still in Weiyang Palace."
"I think this woman is really tired of living!"
How dare you break into the Weiyang Palace!
He took his men and went straight to the Weiyang Palace.
Weiyang Palace is now the most important forbidden area of the Great Jing Palace, because Emperor Jing is "seriously ill", and the disease is still easily contagious. Concubine Hui and Emperor Jing are in love and righteous, so she is determined to let Emperor Jing go to her own Weiyang Palace, and she will take care of him alone.
Of course, these are all excuses made up by Changsun Jue’s faction.
Emperor Jing was indeed in the Weiyang Palace, but it was impossible for Concubine Hui to serve him. Even if Concubine Hui's coffin was placed in the ice cellar of the Weiyang Palace, after such a long time, Concubine Hui's body would not be worth looking at.
How can a dead person take care of the disease?
This means that Chang Sun Jue's faction has killed two birds with one stone.
First of all, when Emperor Jingdi was seriously ill, he only allowed Concubine Hui to take care of him. It is conceivable that Emperor Jingdi and Concubine Hui were very affectionate to each other. So it was even more reasonable for his son Changsun Jue to be appointed to take charge of the government.
Furthermore, since it is a serious infectious disease, if it cannot be cured, Concubine Hui will be infected, and when the time is right, the two of them will die together...
At this moment, Changsun Jue came to Weiyang Palace with murderous intent.
This woman, the Queen, is really tired of living!
The reason why he kept her until now was that although she was the queen, she had no children of her own and was not a big threat to him. Now that his mother was gone, if he ascended the throne and made the former queen the queen mother, the world would think that his throne was legitimate.
In short, there are only advantages and basically no disadvantages.
The result, haha!
Seeing Changsun Jue appear, the guards at the gate of Weiyang Palace immediately knelt down and saluted.
Chang Sun Jue was too lazy to question them now, "Where is the Queen?"
The guards said timidly, "Go back to your highness, it's in the quiet room next door."
Chang Sun Jue went over and saw at a glance that the queen, who had always had a very low presence and was almost just a synonym or a symbol, was sitting there gracefully.
When he saw Changsun Jue come in, he smiled slightly and appropriately.
Chang Sun Jue said coldly, "What did you see?"
Now, the entire palace belongs to him. Chang Sun Jue is becoming more and more violent, and there is no need to pretend.
The queen showed no fear at all. "I saw everything I should have seen. I also saw things I shouldn't have seen."
The murderous intent in Chang Sun Jue's eyes flashed, "How did you get in!"
The queen raised her eyes and looked at him calmly, "No matter how incompetent I am, I am still the head of this harem, and I have been the queen for eight years. I still have a few people I can use, and I have a few ways that belong to me."
The dignified mother of the country smiled and said, "Prince Qi, how about I make a deal with you?"
Chang Sun Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable murderous intent and coldness.
"I don't have any great ambitions. After all, my family is humble, and I don't even have the fortune to raise a princess, let alone a prince. Now I just want to live out my life in this palace, and enjoy the glory of being the queen forever..." At this point, she smiled meaningfully, "Or rather, enjoy the glory of the empress dowager forever."
Chang Sun Jue's pupils shrank slightly, "I can let you enjoy the glory of the Queen Mother forever, then, what can you give me?"
The queen smiled again and said, "Once the emperor passes away, the words of this queen will be equivalent to the imperial decree."
