Chapter 153



Although he succeeded the throne, the Xiao family's honor continued.

Although over the years, the Xiao family has supported her unconditionally.

But the Queen Mother knew clearly that if they were allowed to choose, between a member of the Xiao family as emperor or a person whom they hated as emperor, they would certainly choose the former.

The Queen Mother was devastated, and the relationship between her own son and the Xiao family was like fire and water.

It was that bastard who instigated the old man to do this.

Yes, she had ignored what was written in the late emperor's notes, that the late emperor decided to change the child only after Consort Xian's death.

She put half of the blame on Concubine Xian, thinking that she was the one who instigated it.

The palace maid had been waiting for a long time, and seeing the Queen Mother's unpredictable expression, she dared not say a word.

After a long time, the Queen Mother opened her mouth.

"Go and invite the Third Madam to the palace."

"yes."

My third brother was born out of wedlock, and he never dared to covet the position of head of the family in this life.

But...she knew that there was a wild beast.

As long as she can help herself, then what she will give back is the position of the head of the Xiao family.

Prince Gong and his family were still imprisoned in the prison cell of the Imperial Academy, but their treatment had obviously improved.

Food and shelter.

At first, the quilts of the children were just ordinary cotton quilts, but these children actually changed them to brocade quilts of the same color.

"That's really weird, who did this?"

"Could it be the emperor?"

"Of course not. If the emperor knew about this, we would be released. How can we still be locked up here?"

"That's true. Could it be that Chu Li, that bastard, has discovered it?"

"Bah, that's it? This Liang looks like that old witch Xiao Yuexin. I think maybe the Minister of Justice went to see her and secretly helped us."

"How dare you, you coward?"

"You dare not do this? This is done secretly. Look at this quilt. It's the same color as the previous quilt. From the outside, you can tell it's a brocade quilt."

“……”It seems to make sense.

Royal Palace

"Why did grandma suddenly change her mind and turn against us again?"

It was clearly agreed that Prince Gong and his wife would be escorted to the vegetable market to force Chu Xuanche and Chu Xuanling to show up.

All the people were ready, but suddenly news came that the Queen Mother had changed her mind.

Chu Li hurried into the palace.

The Queen Mother said, "Li'er, I received news that you brothers are still in Xiangzhou. Xiangzhou is so far away from the capital, you can fly back even if you have wings. I thought, if you rush back, then we have to bring them back, won't it make people laugh?

When you brothers receive the news later, they will know that we scared you. When you return to Beijing, we will have scared you."

"Then just kill him directly, just like scaring them."

Queen Mother: “…”

"Prince Gong is the son of my grandmother's enemy. He is a thorn in your side. Have you been wanting to remove him for a long time? Just let them come out. If they come out, we will remove this thorn in my grandmother's side, and it will be a loss."

The Queen Mother rubbed her back teeth and thought that this kid was quite cruel.

I am ashamed to be self-raised.

Unfortunately, he is not my grandson.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Take Chu Xuanche's wife to the market and see if she comes to rescue you. If she comes, kill her to give her a warning. If she comes again, kill her parents when she returns."

Chu Li: “…”

"A woman is worth our lives."

"They are both important people anyway, why not just kill her as an example to scare the monkeys?"

"If you do it right, it's just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. If you do it wrong, it's just bluffing. So... let's talk about it later."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes.

Humph, you want to fight with me? You bastard is still a little naive.

"Okay, then follow the plan. You lead people to launch a palace coup and force your father to abdicate. Your father's illness is caused by your anger. You should be the crown prince and take care of yourself for a few years."

"Yes, grandson obeys your command."

Everything went according to plan.

Chu Li asked someone to calculate an auspicious day, and secretly went there with a group of trusted people to offer sacrifices.

After the ceremony, 놛 took control of the palace.

놛 himself went directly into the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was drinking medicine and looked at Chu Li in military uniform in surprise.

"What do you want to do dressed like this?"

Chu Li asked in return: "Father, is your illness getting better?"

The emperor has been feeling drowsy these days.

The time spent awake is relatively short, and most of the time is spent sleeping.

Both 놛's mother and the imperial physician said that it was a normal reaction to the treatment.

Because I have worked too hard these years, my body can no longer bear it.

I've been sleeping a lot lately because my body needs rest.

Just wait until you have rested enough.

I didn't doubt it, I just didn't have the energy.

Besides, memorials would be sent to him every day, and his mother would come to visit him every day.

The Queen Mother can always do harm.

Now, looking at my son in military uniform, I suddenly understood something.

"Where's your grandmother?"

Chu Li said calmly: "Don't worry, Father, grandma will be here soon. Please..."

He took out the written imperial edict and said, "Father, please sign this first."

"What?"

The emperor took it and looked at it, his face turned livid with anger.

With a cold snort, he threw the medicine bowl at 놛.

"You want to rebel?"

Chu Li snapped his fingers, and a group of people in military uniforms quickly came in and quickly took control of the palace maids and eunuchs in the room.

The emperor's face turned livid.

"My Lord, you misunderstood. Your illness really requires a lot of hard work. For the sake of your health, it would be best if you abdicated and became the Grand Emperor so that you can take care of yourself for the rest of your life."

"Humph, I'm only forty years old. Do you think I should take care of myself?"

Chu Li said as he ground the ink: "Father, this is for your own good. Please."

놛Give the ink-stained pen to the emperor.

The emperor was so angry that his lips turned white and his whole body trembled.

This is a sign of illness.

Chu Li looked at him expressionlessly and waited for a long time.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, and it was so serious that he couldn't sign anymore, he took back the pen.

"Since your father has lost the energy to write your name, let me do it for you."

놛 can imitate 놛's handwriting, and he learned it very early.

The emperor could do nothing as he watched the handwriting imitated from him.

After Chu Li finished writing, he blew on the ink gently, then took out the jade seal from the wooden frame next to him.

"You...you...a rebellious son..." The emperor rolled his eyes in anger, but he held on with his last breath and stared at her as she put the jade seal into the ink, preparing to write her seal.

At this moment, a sound suddenly rang from the door.

"Come here, escort the driver, and take the War King away."

A group of people acted quickly, protected the emperor, and started fighting with Chu Li.

Chu Li was startled and looked at the person at the door with a frown.

"What does this mean, Grandma?"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Li'er, you really disappoint Grandmother."

Um?
