Although many of these court officials supported him in the past, after many events that happened later, more than half of them supported Wen Jingchi.

But all he has now is the position of crown prince.

Thinking of what the imperial physician had told him, the emperor was now unable to say anything. Even if he wanted to tell everyone in person that Wen Jingchi would be the emperor, he simply couldn't do it.

Wen Chenxuan set his eyes on Lord Wang next to him, who was his most trusted minister.

Lord Wang immediately took a step forward and said, "Lord Zhou, what you said is really inappropriate. How can you doubt the prince? How about this? Let's ask the imperial physician to go in and take a look. You can personally select the people to see if the emperor is really terminally ill!"

"The emperor is dying now. It is inappropriate for so many of us to go in and visit him. You can pick anyone from the Imperial Hospital."

Lord Wang naturally knew that many of the imperial physicians had been bribed by Wen Chenxuan.

What's more, the emperor is really terminally ill and is about to die. What difference does it make even if one of their ministers is allowed to see him?

With the help of Wen Jingchi, several imperial physicians were selected, and Lord Zhou went to check it out in person.

After a while, Lord Zhou looked indifferent, gave Wen Jingchi a look and shook his head slightly. It was obvious that what Wen Chenxuan said was true, and the emperor was indeed dying.

The officials waiting outside immediately began to talk and were completely at a loss as to what to do.

Wen Chenxuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a smug smile. As long as the emperor died, he could take the opportunity to sit on the throne!

Although the emperor is not dead yet, he is only one breath away. As long as we continue to put some medicine in his food, he will definitely die!

Even if Wen Jingchi found out and tried to stop it, it would be useless because the emperor's physical condition had completely collapsed after being poisoned for so long.

To put it bluntly, he was just being kept alive with various precious medicinal herbs, and he would soon die.

Wen Chenxuan did not stay here. He already knew that he would become emperor soon, so he naturally could not continue to waste time here. He still planned the follow-up to avoid having his plans disrupted by Wen Jingchi.

After Wen Chenxuan left, Wen Jingchi talked to several ministers under him, asked them to go back and plan everything, and then go find Chu Weiyue.

When I arrived at the Imperial Garden, I happened to find Chu Weiyue there.

He ran over with big strides: "What's going on? I just heard someone say that the emperor is dying, is that true? Isn't his health getting better? Isn't Shen Mubai treating him all the time?"

Although the emperor has no relationship with him, he is Wen Jingchi's father.

She knew that Wen Jingchi looked cold, but he still had deep feelings for his father.

Wen Jingchi frowned slightly and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Yes, his body can't hold on for much longer. The Crown Prince is now feeling proud. Father is in such a bad condition that he can't issue any edicts or depose the Crown Prince. Once Father dies, he will definitely ascend to the throne. If anyone objects, there will be a bloody storm..."

What he said made Chu Weiyue gasp.

"No matter what, we have to delay it for a while. We must think of a foolproof plan. I don't think we are strong enough to fight against the prince yet. You said that last time."

"Please stop interfering in this matter. I will plan it carefully. You have been implicated a lot because of my affairs during this period of time. I feel very sorry!"

"You also know that there is no harmony between the Crown Prince and I. If he really takes the throne and I lose to him, then you'd better draw a clear line between us. This way you can keep yourself safe."

He held Chu Weiyue's hand, and there was nothing else in his eyes except tenderness.

Chu Weiyue's expression suddenly showed some anger.

"Wen Jingchi, what nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible? Even if that day really comes, I will never abandon you! Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, how can we fly away separately when disaster strikes? Even if you want me to die, I want to die with you. This is my determination, do you understand?"

"Besides, if something happens to you, I will be alone and what will people outside say about me? I don't want to be drowned by other people's spit. If you really care about me, fight with me until the last moment. No matter what, we can't let the prince, this insidious and cunning bastard, succeed. If he becomes the emperor, the people will suffer!

If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be a drought, and the Ouyang family wouldn't have interfered. The people in that area would have been able to eat and wear enough clothes. Originally, that area was very fertile, but it was because of the prince's intervention that this happened. If such a person became emperor, he would definitely be arrogant and indulge in pleasure, which would only cause great suffering to the people!"

Even if Wen Jingchi did not stand up, there would definitely be others who would stand up and rebel in the future.

By that time, there would probably be rivers of blood and even more people would die!

Chu Weiyue's words filled Wen Jingchi's eyes with gratitude, and he held her hand tightly.

"That's exactly why I don't want you to take risks with me. I know you have feelings and loyalty, but I'm really afraid of letting you down!"

"If you are afraid of disappointing me, then try your best to do what you think is right. No matter what the result is, as long as we have tried our best, we will not regret it. Don't think too much about other things."

Chu Weiyue held Wen Jingchi's hand, and after some gentle consolation, Wen Jingchi suddenly curled the corners of his lips and hugged Chu Weiyue tightly in his arms.

"I really didn't expect you to be so considerate. How come I never noticed it before?"

In the past, he thought Chu Weiyue was a willful and capricious woman, very rude, and he had never heard her say such words.

Instead, Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and pushed Wen Jingchi away.

"From what you said, it seems that I was very willful and capricious in the past, and I didn't know how to be considerate of others. Is that what you mean?"

Chu Weiyue raised his head and glared at him angrily.

Wen Jingchi was stunned for a moment. He would never admit such a thing even if he was beaten to death, so he immediately held her hand.

"You think too much. In my heart, you are always gentle, kind, generous and considerate. You are a rare and wonderful woman. It is a blessing for me in my previous life to find a good wife as virtuous as you..."

As the saying goes, flattery never wears out. Even though Chu Weiyue knew that many of his words were false, she still loved to listen to them.

She even curled the corners of her lips slightly and rolled her eyes at him.

"You are very considerate. I like what you say. Now, go and do your work. I also want to go and enjoy the flowers with the Queen Mother."

"Okay, I have to go back home now to take care of other things. I will come back to see you in the evening."
