Li Yuanfu sighed and embraced the person in front of him. "Wan'er, I know you're worried! But this is a great opportunity. Next month is the emperor's birthday, which is the responsibility of my eleventh brother and Concubine Yi. But now the emperor is seriously ill, Concubine Shu is pregnant, and Prince Chen is not in the capital! If we don't seize power now, are we going to wait for him to grow up?"
"But......"
Wan'er wanted to say something, but Li Yuanfu's eyes revealed a determination that left no room for questioning.
Li Yuanfu patted Mu Wan'er on the back and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. As long as you are willing to persuade your father and brother to help me, I can legitimately ascend the throne and become the crown prince. Then you will be the queen who rules the country."
After hesitating for a while, Mu Wan'er finally agreed and said, "I'll try my best."
"Wan'er, I knew you were the one who understood me the most. Thank you."
Li Yuanfu kissed Mu Wan'er on the forehead.

Li Yuanfu smiled and said, "Wan'er, you are so kind. With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"

During this period, the old emperor's condition kept recurring, sometimes better, sometimes worse, and was completely out of control.
In order to bring good luck to the old emperor and get rid of bad luck, this year's birthday banquet was more grand than in previous years.
Under the attention of everyone, the emperor's birthday finally arrived, and the old emperor who had not appeared for half a month finally appeared in front of everyone.
He put on a new dragon robe, a nine-dragon crown on his head, and auspicious cloud boots on his feet. He sat on the dragon throne, looking at the crowded hall with a solemn expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"I wish the Emperor good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!"
"I wish your majesty good health and eternal prosperity!"
“…”
Various congratulations were heard from the audience, but for some reason the old emperor did not feel happy at all.
