Chapter 21 I only want the throne, not favor (21)
"Don't worry, your Majesty."
Chu Wanqing was worried that she would be found out for drugging Li Hong. Firstly, she was worried about the chess game, and secondly, she was unwilling to fail at the last moment.
Qiyi patted her hand and told her not to worry.
"Nothing was found." Huashan was an expert at finding out information. When she heard about this matter, she went to inquire about it.
After the miracle doctor examined Li Hong, he left the palace shortly afterwards.
Before leaving, he just said that he was worrying too much and it was bad for his health.
Chu Wanqing looked at Qi Yi.
"The one who came is my senior brother." Qi Yi used lip language to tell Chu Wanqing that he would not investigate the reasons behind what his junior sister had done, but would only help cover it up.
The Valley of Divine Doctors seems to be the righteous side of the martial arts world, but in fact, it is both good and evil.
What she wants to do depends entirely on her master's mood.
Chu Wanqing finally felt relieved. As long as the Valley of Divine Doctors did not intervene to help, Chu Wanqing would not have to look for other ways.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Hong's physical condition is definitely related to chronic poison, but the genius doctor concluded that it was because he was overthinking. What can others say?
After Gao Yansheng followed the Divine Doctor out of the palace, he was extremely certain: "She has people from your Divine Doctor Valley by her side."
That's why he was unwilling to tell the truth.
The miracle doctor laughed in an unfathomable way.
Neither said yes nor no.
When Gao Yansheng saw his expression, he knew that the other party was there to protect the Divine Doctor Valley and didn't care about the emperor's life or death at all.
Gao Yansheng gritted his teeth and whispered, "You know what will happen after the emperor dies, right?"
"The Li family is not completely deserted." The genius doctor looked at Gao Yansheng.
With the Chu family and the Gao family around, they can definitely join forces to push forward a new emperor.
Gao Yansheng was speechless after hearing what the miracle doctor said.
If only it were that simple.
"General Gao, I'm just a commoner and I don't understand what's going on in the court." His vision was so narrow that he only wanted to protect his little piece of land in the Divine Doctor Valley.
Gao Yansheng understood the meaning of his words, gritted his teeth, and had to give up.
He didn't expect that there would be someone from the Valley of Divine Doctors around Chu Wanqing.
After the miracle doctor left the palace with Gao Yansheng, he left the capital under the pretext of traveling. When Li Hong wanted to find the miracle doctor again, he had already left the capital and was nowhere to be found.
It is always difficult to find the whereabouts of people from the Divine Doctor Valley when they travel outside the valley.
Li Hong was unwilling but had to follow the doctor's advice and try to think less at night.
But when he wasn't thinking about anything else, he couldn't help but think of Chu Wanqing.
He asked someone to investigate what Chu Wanqing had done recently and found out that she rarely left the bedroom, so there was no chance for her to attack him.
There is also no evidence that she attacked him.
Li Hong was furious.
He worked so hard to get to this position, but now he has to give it up to his brother after just a few days. He must be unwilling to accept this.
He was unwilling to leave the child in Chu Wanqing's belly.
When the miracle doctor came, he told him not to worry too much. Unexpectedly, half a month after the miracle doctor left, Li Hong became so thin that he looked unrecognizable.
The Prime Minister of Chu joined forces with other civil officials to write a letter to the emperor, requesting him to issue an edict of succession.
"Your Majesty's health has not improved in recent days, but has taken a sharp turn for the worse. I believe it would be best for Your Majesty to be prepared for any eventuality. After all...Your Majesty has many siblings."
So as to avoid unnecessary disputes.
The Prime Minister of Chu stood in the hall, his voice neither humble nor arrogant.
Li Hong stared at Prime Minister Chu intently: "Prime Minister, do you think that I don't have much time left?"
"I only ask His Majesty to make plans early."
Gao Yansheng looked at Prime Minister Chu, whose attitude was different from before, and frowned. He wanted to talk to Prime Minister Chu in private.
But he remembered what Brother Chu had said to him two days ago.
"If your loved ones were surrounded by death and your entire family was framed for a false charge, would you be willing to accept this?"
Gao Yansheng had never thought about this question.
Now that I think about it, what Big Brother Chu said was not wrong. The Chu family had no intention of rebelling, but Li Hong just didn't give the Chu family any chance to survive.
The Chu family can only plan for themselves.
Plan for hundreds of people from nine clans.
Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their experience.
Gao Yansheng stood where he was and finally did not step forward to accuse Prime Minister Chu, tacitly approving of Prime Minister Chu's behavior.
In the end, Li Hong was so angry at the Prime Minister of Chu that he left in anger.
Many civil officials in the court had received favors from the Chu family to varying degrees. In addition, Li Hong's attitude to eliminate the Chu family was very obvious. Some people chose to protect themselves, while others chose to stand behind the Chu family.
With the Chu family in front today, it’s hard to say who will be in the future.
What's more, since the Gao family hasn't shown up, it's better for them, the minions, not to be the first to take action.
After leaving the court, Gao's father and Gao Yansheng went together.
When they were leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Gao's father asked Gao Yansheng, "What do you think of what the Prime Minister said?"
Everyone knows who the throne is passed to through the imperial edict.
Currently, the emperor has only one heir, who has not yet been born and no one knows whether it is a boy or a girl.
The Chu family was forced to rebound after being forced to do so by Li Hong, and now they also intend to force the emperor to do so.
If the emperor does not issue a decree of succession, it is estimated that a "decree of succession" will appear soon.
The Chu family will not give up the throne to anyone else.
Gao Yansheng looked at his father: "What do you think, father?"
"Today, Gao Min will be called up." Gao's father said something nonsensical.
Gao Yansheng understood that his father did not want to confront the Chu family because it was lonely at the top.
With the Chu family as a check and balance, the Gao family can be safe and sound.
Once the Chu family falls, the Gao family will be next.
"My son thinks Prime Minister Chu's suggestion is not bad." Even the miracle doctors are unwilling to save the emperor, and the emperor really doesn't have much time left.
Rather than causing chaos in the court, it is better to make a decision early.
Gao's father was surprised.
Gao Yansheng didn't want to tell his family about his unclear relationship with Chu Wanqing. Right now, he really needed a reason to convince the Gao family if he wanted to help the Chu family.
After returning to the Gao family, Gao Yansheng told his father about his relationship with Chu Wanqing and the child.
"Are you serious?"
When Gao Yansheng told him that the child in Chu Wanqing's belly was from the Gao family, Gao's father felt a buzzing in his head.
I'm afraid the Gao family can't stay out of trouble.
"I tried to struggle." That's what a miracle doctor is.
Unfortunately, everyone in the Divine Doctor Valley was by her side. It could almost be said that if Chu Wanqing wanted to take that position, as long as the Gao family didn't stop her...
She could have just taken advantage of the east wind and gone up.
"You...are so stupid!" Gao's father's face was filled with regret. "If I had known this would happen, I would have resigned from my official position at the risk of my life just to let you marry me."
What Gao's father could not have imagined was that Chu Wanqing had such great ambitions.
Father Gao looked at Gao Yansheng seriously and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Once on this boat, the Gao family has no room for maneuver.
Moreover, Gao Min opposed Chu Wanqing everywhere in the palace. When she ascended the throne, Gao Min would be the first to bear the brunt.
"Do you want to listen to opera?" Gao Yansheng asked.
The plays performed in Beijing recently are all about the emperor crossing the river and then destroying the bridge, but they are not so straightforward.
Many scholars also criticized the court for its inaction and how the Chu family was suppressed.
"I'm old. From now on, the court will belong to you young people. It's up to you." Gao's father hunched his back a little and drove Gao Yansheng out of the study.
The Chu family has been loyal for generations, and they were forced to rebel. Li Hong himself is also to blame.
If he hadn't been so anxious, he wouldn't have reached this point today.
