The mysterious camp outside Beijing, with a total of 8,000 people, was really in his hands. These people were well-trained, with the best weapons and armor. In addition, they were well-trained, so it was no problem for them to fight against tens of thousands of people.
However, there was no sign this time. After receiving the pigeon message from Duke Xingguo, they set out immediately, and it would take some time to reach the capital. Duke Xingguo's manpower in the capital played a significant role in protecting the palace.
As soon as this large group of troops arrived, the chaos was quickly put down.
King Wu and King An were unable to capture the palace in a short period of time, and the situation was basically hopeless. King Wu fled, and in the evening, King An was found.
After the situation was settled, Li Qiru immediately ran into the palace and showed his love to the emperor.
The emperor was angry and tired, and was relieved to see that he was fine. He turned around and asked Duke Xingguo: "Where is the prince?"
He is finding fault. Such a big thing has happened, and the prince doesn't even come to show concern for me?
Duke Xingguo spoke the truth: "Your Majesty, when the bandits attacked the palace, Prince Yongqing led his men to attack the East Palace. There were many casualties, and it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also in danger..."
"Hmph!" The emperor was unhappy because he couldn't find any fault.
At this time, someone brought Prince An up. He knew that he was finished after his plan failed.
In theory, Prince An's status changed the most.
He used to be very arrogant, and loved both the emperor and the queen! He also did things smoothly, but he didn't expect that this year, the King of Wu came back and argued with him. The prince and grandson also became much stronger.
He just barely managed to hold on and not be too defeated, but unexpectedly, Li Qiru came and took advantage of the situation.
To be honest, if it was the Crown Prince or the King of Wu who took the throne, although he would be reluctant, he would still be able to think clearly. The Crown Prince, needless to say, has been the crown prince for many years. And the King of Wu has been in the outside world for so many years, and his foundation is deep, so it is not in vain.
But what kind of person is this Li Qiru? ! He refused to accept it! The emperor kicked him twice. "You dare to rebel?"
Prince An knelt on the ground and stiffened his neck: "Father, I am not rebelling. I am trying to clear the court of evildoers!"
The emperor kicked him again: "Are you still trying this trick on me?"
Prince An cried and said, "Father, I know that you love Prince Xiang the most. When he disappeared, you were very distressed. But I have to tell you that Prince Xiang is not a good person. He is the most despicable and dirty person in the world. I don't even want to say it out loud!"
The current King Xiang couldn't stand it and shouted, "Uncle Jiu, you are not allowed to slander my father!"
The emperor slapped Prince An again and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will drag you out and chop off your dog head!"
After the fight, he felt that he was old and soft-hearted. When he killed the original prince, he didn't even blink. That was his firstborn son.
Now, he was so angry at this beast that he almost vomited blood. He wanted to drag him out and chop him up immediately, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Prince An refused to accept and wiped away his tears: "You told me not to say it, but I said it anyway! Prince Xiang behaves ugly and is unworthy of being a king. He has a homosexual habit and never gets close to women! He!" Prince An pointed at Li Qiru and said: "Maybe he is not Prince Xiang's son at all! Otherwise, why did the Princess of Xiang move out? There are so many people in the backyard of Prince Xiang's mansion, why is there only this one son?"
The emperor was so angry that he screamed.
In fact, he didn't dislike the son of Prince An. Apart from not being able to hand over the throne to him, he could tolerate a lifetime of wealth and glory.
Later, I found out that the King of Wu was a tough guy, so I deliberately supported him to restrain him and find a balance. I didn't expect that his appetite would be so big, and he dared to say anything! "This is true, father! Don't you know that he is a pedophile?"
Duke Xingguo was standing by. He didn't think much of what King Xiang did. You know, his son and his beloved grandson Jinzi did that rotten thing. What right did he have to laugh at others? But it was not good to hear that! He would be silenced...
I regretted not being able to stand outside the temple.
"Shut up! Shut up!" The emperor punched and kicked his stupid son. The eunuch beside him advised: "Oh, Your Majesty, please don't be angry! Don't be angry!"
Normally, the Prince of Xiang should have come to persuade him, but... he remembered that the imperial physician said that the emperor should not get angry, or he would get sick. That's... not bad, right? "Uncle Jiu, why are you doing this? Do you think that by saying this, the emperor's grandfather can divert his attention and forget how you attacked the palace? If you have hatred towards your nephew, you can just attack the Prince of Xiang's mansion, why did you come to attack the palace? What would have happened to you if the Duke of Xingguo hadn't rescued you in time?"
Prince An spat at him, "Don't stir up trouble. I just want to kill you! You are just like your father, a rat in the gutter!"
The words were so harsh that King Xiang was extremely angry.
The emperor came to beat Prince An again, but Prince An suddenly grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said, "Father, I feel wronged! For so many years, I haven't told anyone. I hate it so much! When I was nine years old, there were several times when my brother Prince Xiang touched me..." After that, he burst into tears.
"You!" The emperor felt the blood rushing to his head and was buzzing with anger.
"He cornered his son... and even pulled his pants off..."
Duke Xingguo was even more shocked. Why didn’t I leave just now?! I’m dying, dying…
The emperor pointed at him and said, "You! You..." His eyes rolled up, and the personal eunuch rushed over to help him, "Call the imperial physician!"
"Quickly call in the Queen!" Prince An shouted, Queen, please come and save me!
The emperor was carried to the bed in a flurry of activity. The empress and the imperial physician came, and the imperial physician was really frightened this time. "Your Majesty, I told His Majesty last time that you can't be impatient or tired... This time it's really troublesome..." As he spoke, he kept on giving him acupuncture, bloodletting, and emergency medicine.
Prince Xiang was surrounding the emperor tightly. His expression changed...
The Empress was angry: "Li Qiru, you know how the Emperor is doing! Can't you be patient? How can you not control the situation and make the Emperor so angry?"
Li Qiru had no choice but to apologize gently, but he always put the blame on Prince An.
Prince An was the Queen's favorite, so she immediately said something to Prince Xiang and drove him out, "Wait outside!"
In the room, there were only the emperor's chief eunuch, the empress and her personal maids.
Several imperial doctors came in and out from time to time, prescribing medicine and discussing matters.
The rescue continued until dawn, when it was time for the emperor to get up as usual. The emperor instinctively opened his eyes, one eye was bigger than the other, his mouth was crooked, and he was drooling but he was unaware of it.
"Your Majesty?!" The Queen was shocked when she saw it.
The emperor's eyes were dull and his words were unclear. "Pass on my oral order, and let Prince Xiang govern the country..."
The queen nodded and replied, "Yes! Your Majesty, don't worry! I'll go and tell him right away. You may be angry, but you're fine! Lie down for a while, and you can talk to him in court yourself!" She seemed to be comforting him.
The emperor moved his mouth and fainted again.
The queen sat quietly, watching, without moving for a long time.
The eunuch beside the emperor tried to go out quietly, but the queen coughed and said, "Why are you not guarding the emperor?"
The eunuch was so frightened that he broke into a sweat. “I…want to change my clothes.”
"As the saying goes, a lazy donkey goes to the millstone..." She winked at the maid. The maid went out, and outside, the people around the queen were already around.
When the day was bright, the queen glanced at the eunuch and said, "You are an old man by the emperor's side, and you are his grandfather. You have lived peacefully until now, and now you are just waiting to enjoy your old age. At this time, you must cherish what you have."
The eunuch looked at the queen. He was usually a little afraid of this queen, and he couldn't figure out her temperament. So he quickly said, "The emperor is ill, and I will obey the queen's orders."
"Yes." The Queen stood up and came out. "Where is the Duke of Xingguo?!"
"I am here!" Duke Xingguo sighed for a long time about his future.
"The Emperor has issued an oral order: The Crown Prince is appointed as regent!"
Li Qiru was shocked: "Empress!"
The queen looked at him quietly: "What?"
"My grandson...wants to go in and see my royal grandfather."
"The Emperor is recovering from illness. If you go in and disturb him, and something goes wrong, can you afford it?"
Li Qizhu stared at the queen gloomily, "Grandfather has great faith in his grandson. Madam, there is no turning back from what Prince An has done this time. With your status, there is no need for you to wade into this muddy water, right?"
"I don't understand. What does it mean to wade into muddy waters? What Prince An did will be dealt with according to the law. What does it have to do with me? Although I feel sorry for him, I am not biased towards him! What's wrong with the Crown Prince being the regent while the Emperor is recovering from his illness?"
The queen raised her eyelids.
Li Qiru knew it was wrong, but he didn't know why. Did he leave the position of crown prince behind and not handle it properly?
