He originally intended to guide the emperor and let him figure things out on his own.
Finally, he wanted to seize the golden seal directly and issue an imperial edict on behalf of the emperor.
I've already explained everything to him in detail, and if he still doesn't understand, then don't expect him to figure it out on his own.
Su Wenyuan had something to say, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not. While she was thinking, her hands didn't stop moving, and she poured two cups of tea for Sheng Jingyu.
"Hey hey hey..." Sheng Jingyu couldn't drink anymore and raised his hand to stop him.
Su Wenyuan put down her teacup and said, "How about we change the imperial physician for the Emperor?"
This was the very thing that made her hesitate. She noticed something was wrong with the imperial physician, but she didn't want to remind the emperor. Whether the emperor died or was crippled was none of her business, and she was even happy to see this outcome.
However, he is, after all, the emperor. With his mind so unclear, his health so poor, and his refusal to abdicate, Sheng Jingyu is currently preoccupied with many matters and cannot do anything about it.
A muddle-headed emperor may not make any good decisions.
His casual remark can influence many people.
For the sake of those innocent and pitiful people, Su Wenyuan wanted to make the Emperor realize the truth.
Sheng Jingyu rubbed his stomach and complained, "I was so distracted thinking about this that I had to drink two cups of tea."
Su Wenyuan pushed him away and said irritably, "You have legs but you don't run away. You insist on leaning on me and then blame me for making you drink. I really don't want to care about the Emperor, but I'm afraid of implicating innocent people. Why don't you just rebel?"
She really dared to speak her mind, advising Sheng Jingyu to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate.
"...Isn't it chaotic enough already?" Sheng Jingyu showed no intention of getting up and continued to lean against Su Wenyuan.
Su Wenyuan pursed her lips and said, "Don't tell me you haven't thought about it."
Sheng Jingyu touched his nose guiltily and explained, "I definitely haven't thought about it right now."
With internal strife in Ankawa, the Qikong Kingdom certainly won't let this opportunity pass.
Sheng Jingyu not only had to consider his own interests, but also those of the entire Anchuan Kingdom. He couldn't let Anchuan Kingdom be destroyed in his hands.
He was trying his best to maintain stability both internally and externally, but the emperor was playing dumb...
This is outrageous.
Su Wenyuan said, "We can't rebel. Let's find him a doctor first. Don't let him make a rash decision in a moment of confusion."
“I told him to see another imperial physician, but he said he was angered and no matter how many physicians he saw, it wouldn’t help. He even said it was me who made him angry.”
"Never mind then!"
Now Su Wenyuan can stand by and watch with a clear conscience.
Regardless of whether she wanted to or not, she still had to find a way to ask about the doubts in her heart.
Curious about whether the imperial physician had any problems, she decided to invite the imperial physician to her residence to investigate, and Sheng Jingyu agreed.
The next morning at court, the emperor proposed that Sheng Ziyan be sent as an envoy to Qikong Kingdom.
Most of the people in the court were Sheng Jingyu's men. The emperor knew they wouldn't object, but he was still surprised by their unanimous agreement.
Don't they ever ask why?
Or had Sheng Jingyu already spoken to them? Or perhaps they hoped Sheng Ziyan would die in Qikong Kingdom?
The Emperor was unaware of the specific reason and did not want to delve into it.
He arranged for someone to go north to issue an imperial decree, and also assigned some people to follow and protect him.
The whole process went very smoothly, and no one objected to any of his decisions; this was exactly how the emperor should act.
It's a pity that these people didn't come for him, and their agreement wasn't because of him as emperor.
After the court session, Sheng Zixi took the initiative to request an audience.
These past two days, the Emperor has almost forgotten about this son, Sheng Ziyan, and didn't even tell him about it beforehand.
I thought Sheng Zixi came over to oppose this matter.
Unexpectedly, he was very supportive. Not only did he support him, but he also wanted to personally go to the north to issue an imperial decree, so that Sheng Ziyan would understand the current situation and know what Qikong Kingdom's intentions were.
He also wanted to go on a diplomatic mission to Qikong Kingdom with Sheng Ziyan.
"What did you say?" The emperor was dumbfounded.
This was not a good thing either. The court officials tried every means to refuse, but his sons all rushed to go.
"Father is not at ease leaving this matter to Seventh Brother alone. I have nothing to do in the capital, so I can go and help Seventh Brother. This matter concerns the safety of Anchuan Kingdom, so it is not appropriate for others to go."
That makes sense, but going to Qikong Kingdom is still dangerous.
The Emperor said frankly, "I can tell you directly that this trip is risky. Let Ziyan go, because he is a criminal and there is no other way for him to return. You don't need to go with him."
Sheng Zixi said self-deprecatingly, "If my seventh brother and I die there, the entire Anchuan Kingdom will be at risk."
Sheng Jingyu had already said these words to him.
The Emperor hesitated, wanting to mention the Empress but fearing that Sheng Zixi would resent him.
Putting aside the Emperor's personal motives, there would be many benefits to having Sheng Zixi accompany him on this trip.
Seeing that Sheng Zixi was determined to do so, the emperor had no choice but to agree to first deceive Qikong Kingdom and then study the situation in Anchuan.
"Your Majesty, this was sent by Imperial Physician Li. He said that if you eat it now, it can relieve fatigue." Eunuch Hu handed over an exquisite box.
Sheng Zixi stepped aside and peered out.
This newly arrived imperial physician is strange in every way.
The Emperor's brow relaxed, and he praised, "Physician Li's medical skills are truly superb. I felt tired during the morning court session. By the way, have Physician Li prepare some medicine to dispel the cold and take it to Ziyan. He has suffered these past few months."
The Emperor also said that Sheng Zixi should select two imperial physicians to accompany him, in case he catches a cold or gets injured.
Sheng Zixi thanked the emperor and said, "Your subject will go shortly."
Eunuch Hu advised, "Your Highness, please wait a bit. Several imperial physicians have been summoned to Prince Chen's residence and haven't returned yet. You can choose one after they come back."
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Who is ill?"
"Princess Consort Chen was unwell, so the imperial physician was summoned to Prince Chen's residence at dawn," Eunuch Hu replied.
