In the past few days, Mo Bai has been at home to learn about the court and all affairs of the Xia Kingdom. Although he has been staying indoors, he has a pretty good understanding of the current situation of the Xia Kingdom.
Even if the emperor doesn't announce it, it's time to go out.
After the couple prepared themselves, they went into the palace.
Inside the palace, the guards were strict everywhere, which was a little unusual.
Mo Bai felt inexplicably worried.
It was not until he reached the emperor's bedroom that he realized why he had been worried.
The emperor was seriously ill and lay pale in bed.
Mo Bai was surprised. They were fine when they met a few days ago. How come he became like this in just a few days?
She subconsciously quickened her pace and hurried to the emperor's bed.
"You...what's wrong with you?"
There were no outsiders present at this time, and Mo Bai felt uncomfortable. He didn't want to call him the emperor, so he didn't say it.
The emperor smiled, and his pale face looked much brighter because of this smile.
Weiwei: "It's okay, it's just an old problem. I don't have much time left. It's good enough to see you again before I die. I'm content."
"Do you hate me?"
Looking at his son's indifferent face, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable.
The happiest time in my life was when I went to the South with He Xin.
At that time, we were just an ordinary couple, living a simple and happy life.
After returning to Xia, that happiness was gone and everything changed.
But as long as the loved one is by your side, you will be happy even in a palace full of intrigues.
But not long after, He Xin passed away, and her happiness ended.
In the next ten or twenty years, she was not happy for a single day. Her beloved was buried deep underground, and she and her only son were forced to leave their hometown in order not to reveal their identities.
These years have been difficult and painful. Now that Mo Bai is back and has handed the throne to me, it's time for me to leave and go find He Xin.
Mo Bai's tone became gentler, and he said, "No, I don't hate you. I know you did it to protect me."
It's just that I was forced to leave my hometown since I was young, and I still felt resentful when I was a child.
But I really never hated it.
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes reddened and he felt much happier.
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't hate the emperor, that's good."
"I don't have much time left. I have already drafted the imperial edict to make you the crown prince. I will announce it later. Don't worry, I can still hold on for a dozen days. These ten days will be enough to help you quickly stabilize the court and sit firmly on the throne."
"The ministers in the court are divided into two parties. One party supports the third brother, and the other party remains neutral. The neutral party is my people. After I make you the crown prince, they will only support you. In this way, you will be able to hold this position firmly in no time."
Seeing that he cared so much about himself, Mo Bai couldn't help but feel moved.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with your body? What do the doctors say?"
Seeing his son's concerned expression, the emperor felt warm in his heart, smiled, and said calmly: "It's okay, the imperial doctors have already examined it, you don't have to think too much, everyone has their own destiny, and this is my destiny. I am content to be alive today. Now my only wish is that you can sit firmly on the throne, and the queen can live a happy and peaceful life. In this way, I can be worthy of your mother, and I will have the face to see her in the underworld."
Mo Bai refused to accept this result, and said to the emperor's personal eunuch: "Eunuch Zhao, go and summon the imperial physician. I want to know everything about the emperor's condition."
Eunuch Zhao heard this and looked at the emperor, seriously asking what he meant.
The emperor had no choice but to nod his head and motion for him to leave.
Eunuch Zhao immediately withdrew, and soon the imperial physician arrived.
Mo Bai hurriedly asked about the emperor's condition, and the imperial doctors told him the truth.
Hearing from the imperial physician that the emperor's health was at the end of his rope, Mo Bai felt heavy-hearted.
The emperor waved his hand to let the doctor leave, then smiled and looked at Mo Bai and said, "It's okay, don't think too much, as long as you come back and be well."
Mo Bai sighed and said nothing more.
The emperor summoned all his ministers and announced the news of his appointment as crown prince in the emperor's bedroom.
The movement was so fast that the Queen and others did not expect it.
Catch them off guard.
The Queen and others who were kneeling down listened to this decree and almost gritted their teeth.
The position of crown prince had been vacant for many years, and now Mo Bai had only been back for a few days and he had already decided on it.
This difference made the queen hate it to death.
After the imperial edict was read, everyone had different expressions.
The emperor said, "From now on, the Crown Prince will be the regent. I am not feeling well and need to rest."
Upon hearing this, the Queen's party hurriedly tried to find an excuse to refuse.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has just been appointed and has just returned. He is not familiar with the affairs of the court and may not be able to take on this important task. Please think twice."
"Yes! Your Majesty, the matter of superintendent should not be taken lightly. How can the prince take on such a great responsibility without the guidance of the Grand Tutor? Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter."
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the Third Prince be appointed as the Regent to assist the Crown Prince in governing the country. This is the only way to ensure safety."
The voices of the ministers were endless, saying all kinds of things.
Finally, the establishment of a regent made the emperor take notice.
"Regent? Do you think the Third Brother is the next in line?"
Mo Yu, who was kneeling below, heard this and his eyes dimmed.
He said, "Your Majesty is right. I am dull and cannot take on this important task. Second brother is extremely intelligent and talented. If you become the crown prince, I will never submit to you. I am willing to assist you wholeheartedly and protect our country. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Mo Yu had always known that in the emperor's mind, he was not the candidate for the crown prince. Naturally, this result was within his expectations and he accepted it.
Mo Yu's words made the queen's face turn pale instantly, and the ministers who followed 놛's party also gave up and regretted it instantly.
Only the emperor looked happy when he heard this.
"Third brother, come with me."
The emperor spoke.
Mo Yu was confused and walked forward obediently.
Mo Yu squatted in front of the bed politely. The emperor smiled and said gently, "Come closer."
Mo Yu was a little confused when he heard this, but he still took two steps forward.
