A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone began to speculate about Qin Xuelin's identity.

If Princess Dongchen's identity is fake, then who is Qin Xuelin?

Many things are terrifying when you think about them carefully. During the period when the emperor was seriously ill, apart from the late Nan Yue, only Concubine Hui often came and went in Taiji Hall, and every time she prepared various tonic soups for the emperor, could it be...

The ministers had different thoughts, and Chu Han was very satisfied with this. This was exactly the result he wanted.

"You all still remember the incident when Concubine Hui had a miscarriage. At that time, Princess Ye went against all odds and wanted to seek justice for Concubine Hui. This is enough to show how deep the relationship between the two is. The previous tension was just to cover up the truth. But think about it, why did the two of them want to cover up the truth? Is there some secret that cannot be revealed?"

After Chu Han said this, no one present dared to say anything more. Who could guarantee that King Ye was innocent? As a result, the matter of summoning King Ye and King Su back to the capital had to be dropped.

However, the emperor's health was getting weaker day by day. One day, the eunuch who was serving him had just wiped the emperor's body when he suddenly found that the ** person had opened his eyes.

The young eunuch was suddenly met with a pair of cloudy, old eyes. He was frightened and screamed, taking a few steps back. Then he realized that this man was the emperor.

The young eunuch knelt down hurriedly to plead guilty: "Your Majesty! I deserve to die! Please spare my life..."

"You... stand up, and ask old Prince Xuanjing, the cabinet... all the cabinet ministers to enter the palace immediately. I... I have something to tell you." The emperor said a few words with difficulty, and then he began to gasp for breath. The deadline was approaching.

The young eunuch did not move when he heard this, as if he had not heard it, and he knelt on the ground.

The emperor saw this and spoke again: "You slave, I ask you to go... to call someone..."

"What does your Majesty want to call someone for? Why don't you tell your son and let him do it for you? How about that?" Chu Han came out from outside the palace and said as he walked.

The young eunuch stood up and bowed to Chu Han: "Your servant greets the prince."

Chu Han was very satisfied with this young eunuch. He casually took out a piece of gold and threw it over, then waved his hand and asked him to leave.

The young eunuch thanked him profusely and left briskly.

He was originally arranged by Chu Han and Concubine Xian to take care of the emperor in Taiji Hall. It was called care, but it was actually surveillance. How could he help the emperor to deliver this letter?

The emperor seemed to understand the situation clearly. He looked at Chu Han with a hint of anger in his eyes: "You..."

Chu Han chuckled and leaned forward and said, "What instructions does your father have? Please tell me, I will do my best to complete it."

"Announce...Announce that King Ye and King Su will return to the capital today..."

Chu Han's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He stared at the emperor fiercely for a long while before he shook his head with regret: "Father, I think you are sick and confused. King Ye and King Su are fighting at Tianque Pass. The enemy has not retreated yet. How can they return to the capital? Not to mention that King Ye still has 300,000 troops in his hands. You let him come back, aren't you deliberately keeping me awake at night?"

"You! What are you going to do?" The emperor raised his hand with difficulty, pointed at Chu Han and questioned.

There was no one in the bedroom except Chu Han and the emperor. I'm afraid that the people here had already been dealt with by Chu Han.

Chu Han was very proud of himself, as if he had already become the master of the Tai Chi Hall.

"I will not do anything. When you pass away, I will take over your position and continue to create a prosperous era for Tianji."

"How outrageous!" The emperor had long anticipated that there would be no peace in the capital when he was about to die. He just took the medicine left by Lu Yanluo on time every day, thinking that he could hold on for another month. He didn't expect to collapse suddenly. However, he still had many things that had not been arranged, and Chu Han was one of them.

The incident with Nan Yue had already sounded the alarm for him, but he still cared about the father-son relationship and was unwilling to kill Chu Han, so he took away the title of Concubine Xian and changed it to Concubine Shen, hoping that Chu Han could understand his intentions, and from then on, be careful in what he said and did and be a leisurely prince, so that he could still save his life.

Unfortunately, Chu Han did not understand the emperor's intention. Instead, he went even further and took advantage of the emperor's illness to sideline him.

"Father." Chu Han suddenly changed his expression, kneeling beside the bed, looking at the emperor innocently and said, "Father, do you still remember when I was a child, I lived in the harem with my mother and I could not see you for a long time. I missed you so much that I secretly ran to the Imperial Garden to wait. After waiting for a long time, you finally showed up. You don't know how happy I was at that time. I wanted to rush over to hug you and call you father."

"But...but you walked past me with a cold face, without even looking at me." Chu Han's face was cold, as if he had returned to that time. He looked at his father with expectation, but his father did not even look at him and walked away coldly.

"From that moment on, I told myself that one day, I would stand in front of you, let you see me, and let you know that I am no worse than any of your sons!"

Chu Han's face was full of madness, and he was unable to extricate himself from his memories.

The emperor's eyes were filled with sorrow. As the saying goes, a dying man speaks good words. And it was when he was about to die that he suddenly realized that as an emperor, he had failed to expand the territory, and as a father, he had failed to love his children. He either checked and controlled his sons, was suspicious of them, or ignored them, and he never really understood them.

"You... have a weak mind and limited abilities, so you are not fit to be an emperor. My child, listen to your father. From now on, be a leisurely prince. Only then can you save your life..."

The emperor tried to persuade Chu Han earnestly, but Chu Han did not listen. Instead, he felt that the emperor looked down on him and said angrily, "It's too late. I have already prepared the edict of succession. As long as you die, I can immediately ascend the throne. If Chu Xuan is smart and bows down to me, I will let him go for the sake of our brotherhood. But if he is blind and insists on making things difficult for me, I will have to kill him as a traitor."

"Father, why do you suddenly become like this?"

The emperor's eyes suddenly widened, his face turned purple: "It's... it's you!"

No wonder, no wonder the poison suddenly took effect. It turned out that Chu Han couldn't wait any longer and took the initiative.

Chu Han sneered: "Otherwise, once the crisis at Tianque Pass is resolved and Chu Xuan is free, what chance do I have? I must get rid of you before Chu Xuan returns to the court."

"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!"

"What are you still wasting time on with him? Hurry up, the cabinet ministers are waiting outside." Concubine Xian walked into the inner hall with the help of her maid, looking at the helpless emperor with vicious eyes.

"Bitch!" The emperor was furious.

Concubine Xian sneered: "It's all because of you. You asked for this situation!"
