Chapter 441 Father, You Are Old
"Impossible... This is impossible..."
Huo Yang, who had been confusing right and wrong before, was so shocked when he saw the emperor appear with Ye Ninglan and Shao Feiyang.
My father is clearly dead...
Ye Ninglan also took the opportunity to escape back to Xiling. Why? Why did they still appear?
"Father!"
When Huo Zheng saw the emperor, he immediately stood up, walked down the white jade steps and went to greet him.
Queen Wang had already prepared herself for the emperor's body to be found, but she hadn't expected him to return alive. She was stunned for a moment before rising to greet him, "Your Majesty..."
"Your son respectfully welcomes your father's safe return."
Huo Zheng led all the civil and military officials to bow to the emperor.
"Shichiro..."
The emperor was very ill, his voice was hoarse and weak, as if he had used up all his strength just to take those few steps.
Huo Zheng held the emperor's hand and asked Shao Feiyang and Ye Ninglan, "Where have you been these days?"
"To answer your question, Your Highness." Shao Feiyang clasped his fists and saluted, then immediately replied, "Ever since the Emperor disappeared in the Xishan Hunting Ground, Prince Rui has taken control of the palace and eliminated dissidents. At that time, the Ninth Prince and Princess Xiling were also missing. Prince Rui said that the Ninth Prince and Princess Xiling had conspired to murder the Emperor..."
Prince Rui's words are full of lies.
You can tell any nonsense.
First, it was said that the Ninth Prince and Princess Xiling had conspired to murder the emperor. Shao Feiyang did not believe it, so King Rui ordered him to be hunted down.
Shao Feiyang was rescued by Ye Ninglan on his way out of the siege and was taken to an extremely secret place by her.
The seriously injured emperor was also there, and outside, Prince Rui's men were searching everywhere.
Shao Feiyang could only stay in that place temporarily with Ye Ninglan to treat the seriously injured emperor. After a few days, news of the emperor's death suddenly came from outside, saying that the body had been found.
At that time, Shao Feiyang fell silent as he looked at the emperor who had just woken up.
Because everything that happened afterwards was predicted by Ye Ninglan.
Shao Feiyang simply described the situation in a few words.
Everyone present looked at Princess Xiling.
Not only did Ye Ninglan not take advantage of the chaos to escape back to Xiling, he also saved the emperor. This move is really unbelievable.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Ye Ninglan said, "I do want to return to Xiling, but I want to do it with dignity, not by taking advantage of the chaos to escape."
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her differently.
Ye Ninglan smiled and asked Huo Zheng, "The notice ordered by Prince Chang'an states that anyone who finds the emperor's whereabouts will be considered a great meritorious service. I saved the Daxing Emperor. How should this merit be calculated?"
Huo Zheng said, "Princess, whatever you ask for, I will do it."
"Okay then." Ye Ninglan was very satisfied with the answer. "Prince Chang'an must keep his word."
"That's natural."
Huo Zheng asked someone to take Ye Ninglan downstairs to rest first.
Today's interrogation in the Golden Palace was a major event for Daxing. As the eldest princess of Xiling, Ye Ninglan naturally couldn't bear to watch other people's family scandals here. She smiled, turned around, and left with the young eunuch.
Shao Feiyang stayed to listen, and when he saw Ye Ninglan leave, he couldn't help but watch him for a long time.
Until Huo Zheng helped the old emperor walk in front of Huo Yang, the emperor was seriously injured and could not walk steadily. He raised his leg and kicked Huo Yang, kicking him backward to the ground, cursing: "Evil son!"
Huo Yang's leg was broken, and it took him a long time to straighten his upper body. "Father! The people who murdered you were clearly Huo Yan and Huo Zheng——"
"Even now, you're still biting others and confusing right and wrong!"
The emperor was so angry that he started coughing violently and almost coughed up blood.
The emperor was not a fool. After the incident, he knew that it was Huo Yang's doing. Huo Yan did not have the courage, and with Huo Zheng's character, he would never do such a thing.
Not to mention that Ye Ninglan often asked Shao Feiyang to go out and inquire about the news inside and outside the capital, and then come back to tell him.
The emperor looked at Huo Yang with disappointment. "You were born an ordinary eldest son, yet I chose the rich land of Suzhou as your fiefdom. You found all sorts of excuses to stay in the capital, and I turned a blind eye. I treated you well!"
Huo Yang was trying to put on a show, but he stopped when he heard the emperor's words. He laughed like crazy, "You treat me well? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you actually still think you treat me well? I'm the eldest prince! I should have inherited the throne, but you, you favor Huo Zheng and Huo Yan! After all the hard work, Huo Zheng went to Xizhou, Huo Yan lost the support of the people, and you're sixty years old and still gave birth to a sixteenth prince!"
Huo Yang's years of resentment erupted at this moment. "Father, you are old! You should have abdicated long ago! But you refused to accept your age and insisted on occupying the throne. It's you, you who forced me into this situation!"
The emperor raised his hand to slap Huo Yang, but he got so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Blood splattered on Huo Yang's face.
The emperor fell straight out.
Huo Zheng quickly supported the emperor and ordered the eunuchs, "Call the imperial physician!"
"Quickly call the imperial physician!" Queen Wang also hurried forward to lend a hand.
The entire court was in chaos, with everyone shouting "Your Majesty".
Huo Yang watched the emperor vomit blood on the spot. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Dead! Finally dead! It's good to be dead!"
Huo Zheng ordered the emperor to be carried back to the palace for treatment, and also ordered Huo Yang to be taken to the Sky Prison.
This concludes today's Golden Palace trial.
Now that the emperor has appeared alive, no matter how much Huo Yang tries to throw dirty water on Huo Zheng and Huo Yan, no one will believe him anymore.
Huo Yang was quickly dragged away, but he seemed to be insensitive to the pain and kept laughing, shouting as he laughed, "My father is dead, and I am the emperor! I am the emperor!"
All the civil and military officials in the court watched this scene and said that Prince Rui had gone crazy.
Huo Zheng ordered the emperor to be carried back to his bedroom, and the imperial doctors quickly arrived.
Everyone took turns taking the emperor's pulse, giving him acupuncture, and administering medicine.
After a long while of hard work, he finally got to Queen Wang and Prince Chang'an to give his reply.
Queen Wang asked, "How is the emperor?"
Doctor Fan replied, "We are incompetent."
Once these words were spoken, it meant that my father was beyond saving.
Queen Wang frowned, "Can he still wake up?"
Although it is inevitable that Huo Zheng will ascend the throne and become emperor now, if there is an imperial edict to pass on the throne at this time, a lot of trouble can be avoided.
The imperial doctors all shook their heads, and none of them dared to guarantee that the emperor would wake up.
Queen Wang looked at the emperor lying on the bed. They had not been apart for a long time, but now he looked like he was twenty years older and exhausted.
Perhaps the emperor's appearance in the Golden Palace today was a last glimmer of hope.
Queen Wang originally thought that she had long accepted the fact that the emperor was dead, but now seeing this man waiting for the King of Hell to take him away in front of her, her mood was inevitably very complicated.
She asked the doctors, "Is there no other way?"
Even if it can only make the emperor wake up, say a few words, and explain his funeral arrangements.
The doctors looked at each other for a moment, and finally Doctor Fan said, "I will try my best."
