“Ahem…”
In the room, on the luxurious dragon couch.
An old man with a strong physique, rough eyebrows and wrinkled face coughed and looked tired.
On the side, the chief eunuch of the palace, Gao Hai, saw this and became anxious. He could not help but sigh and said:
"Your Majesty, you are still ill and need to rest well. Why did you come up with such a 'faked death'? This, this..."
Isn't this just a waste of time?
Gao Hai forced himself to hold back the second half of the sentence.
I didn't dare say it.
After all, the old man in front of him is the founding emperor of the current Dagan Dynasty, a person who truly rose from obscurity.
He is a truly heroic lord who shows no emotion and kills without blinking an eye.
That’s right, the old man coughing on the dragon bed was the emperor who was claimed to have passed away, Emperor Jianwu - Li Xiong.
The news of his death has reached the ears of Crown Prince Li Chenghao and Third Prince Li Chengfeng.
But in fact, he was just sick, not dead.
Li Xiong ignored Chief Steward Gao's words and asked calmly:
"The news of my death should have reached the Crown Prince's residence. Calculating the time, he should have entered the palace by now, right?"
Chief Steward Gao quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has entered the palace. However, he did not come directly here, but went to the Imperial Concubine's Jingren Palace first."

Let’s wait and see.
Manager Gao was standing aside. He was almost frightened by Li Xiong's aura and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Your Majesty has always been a person who does his own thing and acts decisively.
Over the past decade or so, the choice of crown prince has always been favored to be the second prince, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He never took other princes into consideration from the beginning to the end.
But recently, I don’t know what happened, His Majesty fell seriously ill, and many things seemed to suddenly become clear to him, and many of his ideas also changed.
The sudden news of his death was actually because His Majesty wanted to test whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really suitable to succeed the throne.
And how to smoothly complete the subsequent transition of power.
"Hao'er is quite good in terms of talent, character, and ability. Many ministers in the court are willing to support him."
'His mother, Liu, was the daughter of the Marquis of Pingxi.'
"With the support of the Marquis of Pingxi and the ministers in the court, it shouldn't be too difficult for Hao'er to secure the throne."
"As long as his performance is not too bad, the position of crown prince should still be his."
Li Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly calculating in his mind.
