Asking such a question in front of the emperor who had just woken up was undoubtedly too abrupt.
The emperor had been calm at first, but now he angrily shouted, "Nonsense!"
Then came the violent coughing.
Jing Yuchen showed an aggrieved expression: "Your son is just expressing what the court officials are thinking."
Miao Qinghua was a little excited and quickly asked, "Your Majesty, your health has not yet recovered. Can you allow the Crown Prince to ascend the throne?"
The emperor's eyes were red, and he tried to sit up weakly, but his body was too weak to move at all. Without any strength, he coughed violently in anger. After that, he glared at the queen fiercely, and then looked at Jing Yuchen: "How dare you..."
He wanted to grab Jing Yuchen by the collar and ask him if he was planning to conspire with Miao Qinghua to rebel, and if he dared to force the emperor to abdicate in front of him so openly...
He was still angry, and when he saw Ni Gaofei standing behind him after being reinstated, he became even more angry and his whole body was shaking. He opened his mouth to curse, but because of the anger, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Queen and Jing Yuchen were squatting on the side, and naturally, they were not spared.
Jing Yuchen stood up, looking very frustrated: "Father is emotionally unstable, mother, please don't ask any more questions. I will go change my clothes first!"
Miao Qinghua did it on purpose just now, asking first whether he would accept Jing Yuchen's ascension to the throne, because in the emperor's eyes, now is still the time when he just fell into a coma. How could he accept giving the throne to Jing Yuchen?
How could he accept that if Shao Lecheng became the emperor, wouldn't Duan Gouqiong become the empress?
And he had tried to murder Duan Gouqiong in that way!
Miao Qinghua stroked the emperor's chest again and again, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Don't be anxious. Calm down slowly!"
However, the emperor has already rejected Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng, and all the ministers present have heard it. So now the only one who has hope is her good Ruoer!
Ni Gaofei and Zou Yangyao had already followed Jing Yuchen out. Only the Miao family members were left in the hall. She smiled slightly, "The emperor vomited blood and died. Ministers, why don't you kneel?"
Several ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. They were clearly still breathing...
As the imperial physician was on his way, he heard a voice that spread far and wide, even throughout the entire palace.
"The Emperor has passed away—"
Jing Yuchen, Ni Gaofei and Zou Yangyao were walking towards the exit of the palace together. They heard the sound of a bell behind them. Those who heard the sound knelt down one after another.
Jing Yuchen and Ni Gaofei looked at each other, then knelt down silently.
Soon, the news spread beyond the palace and even into the streets.
A servant outside heard the news and hurried over, "Crown Princess, Crown Princess, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened!"
Ni Yueshan was still teaching Jing Xueer to call her "mother" when the servant, sweating profusely from running, nearly fell to the ground. He spoke in a panic, "Crown Princess, it's bad! The Emperor has passed away!"
Ni Yueshan's expression calmed down when she heard this. She looked at Xiao Chuer who was sitting aside slowly, "You are calm?"
Xiao Chu'er drank the tea in her hand and responded calmly: "The emperor is not related to me, why can't I be calm?"
She put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Ni Yueshan with a look that gradually deepened: "Crown Princess, you should cry..."
Then, a cry was heard in the room, "Father, you died so tragically!"
The door was closed. Xiao Chuer rubbed her temples with a headache. "Do you think this is just an ordinary family mourning? The emperor has passed away! How can you cry about how tragic his death was?"
She looked at Ni Yueshan with a speechless face.
Ni Yueshan looked at Xiao Chuer with an aggrieved expression: "Then how should I cry? Father, wake up! The prince can't live without you, Xue'er can't live without you, and the people of the world can't live without you!"
Xiao Chuer rolled her eyes and said, "Forget it, forget it. Just pretend I never suggested it!"
She sat down aside, feeling quite helpless.
Jing Xueer, who was sitting in the rocking cradle, had a confused expression on her face. She looked at Ni Yueshan, who was struggling and trying to force out tears, and giggled. She stretched out her chubby little arms, wanting Ni Yueshan to hug her.
Ni Yueshan picked up Jing Xueer from the rocking bed and said with a smile: "Xueer, how about you cry a little, just to show your appreciation?"
Jing Xueer had no idea what Ni Yueshan was talking about. She just looked at Ni Yueshan, pulled Ni Yueshan's ears, and giggled.
The laughter spread outside, the baby's tender laughter, innocent and cute.
The door was pushed open, and the person who came in looked puzzled: "You are laughing so happily, there is no point in closing the door!"
Hearing the joking voice, Ni Yueshan and Xiao Chuer both looked at the person who came. Jing Yuchen had not changed out of his court robe yet, but he came over first.
He reached out to hold Jing Xue'er, and Ni Yueshan obediently handed her over. Then he asked, "Miss Xiao gave me a small amount of antidote, which can only allow the emperor to wake up for a short moment. Shouldn't it be fatal?"
Jing Yuchen said lightly under Xiao Chuer's puzzled gaze: "Some people want him to die."
Ni Yueshan was not surprised at all. She said, "Let me hold Xue'er. Go and change your clothes."
He just hugged Jing Xueer with blood on her body, how uncouth of him!
Jing Yuchen nodded, then looked at Xiao Chuer: "Or, let's have dinner together."
Xiao Chuer stood up and wanted to refuse, but when she saw another person standing at the door, she changed her words and said, "Okay."
Zou Yangyao looked indifferent and said with some displeasure: "Prince, I didn't say that Miss Xiao was here too."
Jing Yuchen looked at Zou Yangyao, walked to his side, and put his hand on his shoulder: "As a man, if you want to back down because of a woman, then you are really disappointing."
Zou Yangyao's expression was icy: "Prince, why don't you call the Prime Minister as well?"
"No, we young people won't invite the elders to the dinner table!"
As he said this, he took a step and walked out.
Zou Yangyao clenched his fists and glanced at Xiao Chuer. In the end, he said nothing and followed her.
Ni Yueshan fixed his gaze on Xiao Chuer and asked curiously, "I asked you at the beginning if you were bullied, but you didn't tell me. Now that I see you two, you're still acting so strangely together..."
Xiao Chuer stood up. "What's so strange about that? I was looking at him like a patient, and he hadn't been treated by me before. He was shy, and he felt that running into me was like running into someone who knew his secrets, so he felt weird!"
"That means you two have nothing?" Ni Yueshan asked hurriedly.
Xiao Chuer coughed and said, "Of course I'm innocent!"
Then he shrugged his shoulders and ran out.
