Zhong Mingzheng heard footsteps behind him, but he didn't turn around. He looked at Ling Shi'an who was walking slowly towards him in the mirror, and sighed softly, "Shi'an, I finally put on this dragon robe. Since I was a child, I have been looking forward to the bright dragon robe on my father's body. There is no better-looking and more dazzling clothes in the world. I am looking forward to when my father's dragon robe can be worn by me. However, there are too many princes who want to wear my father's dragon robe. Over the years, I have fought with them to death, but I haven't even touched the corner of this dragon robe. Instead, I see that my father is becoming more and more indifferent to me. I suddenly realized that my opponent has never been those disgusting princes, but my father."
Having said this, Zhong Mingzheng stood up. Eunuch Xi held the dragon crown and respectfully wanted to put it on Zhong Mingzheng, but Zhong Mingzheng was much taller than him, and Eunuch Xi had to stand on tiptoe to hold the dragon crown with both hands, which was inevitably a bit strenuous. Eunuch Xi looked embarrassed and wanted to ask Zhong Mingzheng to bend down, but he dared not open his mouth. When he was in a dilemma, he saw Zhong Mingzheng suddenly snatch the dragon crown from his hand and put it on his head by himself. Eunuch Xi was stunned, then hurriedly bowed and retreated.
"Since you want to wear this dragon robe, go grab it yourself! Don't expect charity from anyone, even if that person is your father," Zhong Mingzheng said coldly word by word, while putting the dragon crown on the right side of the mirror, and then squinting his eyes and smiling at himself in the mirror, with a proud and sarcastic smile, "In front of this dragon robe, what father-son relationship can you care about? Only when you grab it, it is truly yours."
"Your Highness," Ling Shi'an stepped forward and said solemnly, "News has just come from Ningshou Palace. Since Your Highness left yesterday, the Emperor has been vomiting blood and just fainted. The imperial physician said..."
"What did the imperial physician say?" Zhong Mingzheng looked indifferent as he continued to look at himself in the mirror.
"The imperial physician said that His Majesty might not survive the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ling Shian said in a deep voice.
"I know," Zhong Mingzheng said calmly, adjusting the court beads on his chest, and said slowly, "I just told him the good news that I will ascend the throne today. I was thinking that he would be happy to take away his illness. Who knew that he would react like this? It really disappoints me."
Ling Shian seemed to be hesitant to speak, but he finally spoke: "Today is the anniversary of the death of Empress Zhenxianxiao. It is understandable that the emperor overreacted."
"What? Do you also think that I am a cold and rebellious person?" Zhong Mingzheng turned slowly and stared at Ling Shian.
"I dare not!" Ling Shi'an bowed hurriedly.
"I know you don't dare, but I can't guarantee that others won't talk about me behind my back. In this case, then pass on my order and let Concubine Hui go to serve the retired emperor. Hasn't the retired emperor always doted on Concubine Hui the most? At this time, I send Concubine Hui to the retired emperor, which can be regarded as my filial piety," Zhong Mingzheng sneered as he walked slowly out, "But Concubine Hui alone will not be able to serve His Majesty well. Pick a few strong guards and eunuchs and let them work together with Concubine Hui to take care of the retired emperor. Isn't this thoughtful?"
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Ling Shi'an bowed and left the hall. As soon as he left the hall, he was stunned. He looked up at the dark sky and suddenly frowned. It was already the morning of the morning, why was there no light in the sky? Not only was there no light, but there was also a cold wind. Was it going to... rain?
That's impossible. Today is an auspicious day according to the Imperial Astronomical Observation. How could it rain?
Absolutely impossible!
Ling Shian looked at the sky anxiously, then slowly walked down the stairs.
