"Yes, I thank you for your grace, Your Highness," Ling Shi'an said. He then clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the Right Prime Minister has received the news. He is now gathering his officials and a group of guest officials to prepare for Your Highness' ascension to the throne. Now we are just waiting for His Majesty's abdication decree and His Majesty's imperial decree to enthrone Your Highness."
"Got it," Zhong Mingzheng said slowly, while slowly standing up from the chair. He walked slowly towards the bedroom, and when he reached the door of the bedroom, he looked at Zhao Ruhai, whose face was as pale as the ground. Zhong Mingzheng curled his lips sarcastically. "Eunuch Zhao, you just said that the emperor had just taken a tranquilizer and should not be disturbed. Now I have been waiting here for more than half an hour. What? The emperor hasn't woken up yet? If he still can't wake up, it might be a big problem, and we should notify the Imperial Hospital."
Zhao Ruhai fell to his knees with a thump: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty really can't stand it..."
"Ruhai, let that rebellious son in! Cough cough!" Suddenly, Zhong Zhiheng's angry shout was heard from inside, but the coughing mixed in it inevitably reduced the emperor's anger.
"Your Highness. Please come in." Zhao Ruhai stood up and had to lift the door curtain for Zhong Mingzheng.
"Hmph!" Zhong Mingzheng glanced at Zhao Ruhai, then strode into the bedroom.
"Your son greets you, father! May your Majesty live forever!" Walking to the bed, Zhong Mingzheng knelt down and kowtowed.
"You still know that you are a son and a subject!" Zhong Zhiheng's dim eyes widened as he stared at Zhong Mingzheng who was kneeling in front of the bed, and pointed at him with trembling fingers, "Look at what you have done? Is this the way to be a son? The etiquette of being a subject?! Ah?! Ahem!"
"I am just trying to imitate what father did back then. Why is father so angry? Haha," Zhong Mingzheng raised his head and said slowly while taking a leisurely look at Zhong Zhiheng's instantly stiff and sallow face. When he spoke again, his tone was full of sarcasm, "Why? Father, are you thinking about what you did back then? Are you regretting it? Are you scared? Or do you feel that you have received retribution today?"
"You...you rebellious son! Stop talking nonsense!" Zhong Zhiheng said angrily, stretching out his hand to hit Zhong Mingzheng in the face, but his wrist was grabbed tightly by Zhong Mingzheng. He shook it off several times but failed. Later, Zhong Mingzheng suddenly let go, and Zhong Zhiheng fell on the bed like mud.
"What? Did father treat the late emperor in the same way?" Zhong Mingzheng asked coldly, as he stood up from the ground, pulled over a stool and sat down in front of the bed. He sneered at Zhong Zhiheng's rapid movement with half of his body lying on his side, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust and disgust. "Father, you think you have acted in a thorough and flawless manner, but how can there be an impenetrable wall in this world? Even though the empress dowager helped you, the regicide son, to ascend the throne in order to preserve the honor of the Xu family, and decided to hide the truth from you, do you really think you can rest easy? Worry-free? Does no one know about your beastly behavior? "At this point, Zhong Mingzheng suddenly leaned forward, facing Zhong Zhiheng's ashen face, and said hatefully word by word, "Father, how did you kill the emperor and seize the throne in this palace back then? How did you force the late emperor to write the edict of succession? And how did you personally feed the late emperor poison? Today, your son is going to repeat the same thing. It is said that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Father, please don't call your son a rebellious son anymore. Your son is just inheriting your mantle!"
"You...you...you are talking nonsense!" Zhong Zhiheng struggled to breathe, his breathing was unusually rough and creepy, his mouth was wide open, like a dying fish, but still struggling to survive, "You...you are a rebellious son! Get out! Get out!"
