Chapter 369 The Fake Daughter Whose Body Was Taken Over by the Heroine
Su Li's desire to rebel was not a sudden whim. She had already had this idea and put it into action before she went to Qinghe County.
Through her unremitting efforts, she now has quite a few spies in the court.
It is difficult for her to persuade those loyal and good ministers who are wholeheartedly serving the people to rebel (by force or bribery), but those treacherous and rebellious ministers who plunder the people's wealth, use any means necessary, frame loyal and good ministers, and only want to climb up the ladder, are just the right solution to her urgent need of having no one to rely on!
She had promised them that as long as they listened to her, she would persuade the new emperor to spare their lives when he succeeded in taking the throne.
If someone has reformed, you can help by saying a few good words for him, and he might be reused again!
Those ministers were not hopeless. After she persuaded them earnestly, they obeyed her!
One of the treacherous officials: Oh, why don't you tell me how you persuaded me? Did you persuade me? You just punched me right away!
The second treacherous minister: I don’t want to listen to the words of a young girl, but I can’t make my own decision and control my own thoughts. Even if I could, I dare not risk having my intestines pierced and my stomach ruptured!
The third treacherous minister: The mysterious woman asked me to instigate the eldest prince to poison the emperor. The emperor is already like this, is there any need for this?
A certain treacherous minister, number four: The mysterious man is too powerful. I'd better do my job honestly. Who sits on the throne is none of my business. I'm a corrupt official, so I'd better save my life first!
…
Time quickly came to two days later, and today the princes came to pay their respects to the emperor as usual.
Of course, the princes could only pay their respects to the emperor outside the palace and were not allowed to enter.
When the emperor was in good health, he was always on guard against these princes who coveted his throne. Now that he is paralyzed in bed with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, he is even more wary!
He even wanted to sleep with his eyes open, for fear that his sons would take the opportunity to harm him. How could he possibly agree to let them enter his bedroom?
During the half month that he was ill, only the Sixth Prince was fortunate enough to be allowed to visit him twice. The other princes could only learn some news about the emperor from the imperial physicians and eunuchs.
That is why they are so wary of the Sixth Prince and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.
I also hope that the emperor will die soon!
However, even though these princes were very dissatisfied with the emperor and wished he would die soon, they behaved respectfully and politely at this moment and were very worried about the emperor's health!
After paying their respects, the princes quietly waited outside the emperor's bedroom as usual, absentmindedly waiting for the imperial physician who had just entered to come out, so that they could check on the emperor's health as soon as possible and show their filial piety!
Wen Shen stood aside with his eyes lowered, ignoring the fierce glances cast at him from time to time by the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince.
His mind is now full of thoughts, how can he personally give the medicine in his hand to his father?
In the past, he thought it didn’t matter whether the emperor met them or not. His father wouldn’t look at him differently anyway, so it was just right not to meet him!
However, at this time he felt that the emperor was too cautious, so that even if he had a plan, he would not be able to implement it.
Wen Shen racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a good way to get in and personally give the emperor the medicine in his hand.
Wen Shen was filled with resentment because his plan could not be implemented. He secretly hated God for being blind and not letting him crawl out of the Queen's belly.
If his mother was the empress, then as he was the eldest son, why would he need to rack his brains to figure out how to meet his father?
If he were the Queen's son, and his father was seriously ill, the ministers would definitely support him as regent, not the Sixth Prince.
Perhaps God heard Wen Shen's thoughts. Just as he was complaining about his fate, the emperor's personal eunuch Zhang Defu walked out with a smile on his face.
Zhang Defu's appearance attracted the attention of all the princes.
This joyful look, could it be that my father's condition has improved?
With this guess in mind, the princes felt different.
Wen Shen, Wen Huai... the several princes who have been making moves recently are all terrified, worried that once the emperor gets better, they will be liquidated!
Several princes who were still young and not yet able to fight for the throne were all happy at this moment, and the smiles on their faces were particularly sincere.
Although they were still young, the royal family members matured early and understood the difference between their father being emperor and their brothers being emperor.
The only ones in the palace who don’t want the emperor to die are probably these little princes who haven’t grown up yet and their mothers!
As long as the emperor is alive, they are extremely noble princes. When the emperor dies, they don’t know where the new emperor will send them.
"Chief Steward Zhang, has the emperor's health improved today?"
The sixth prince was the legitimate son. He stood in the front and was the first to ask about the emperor's health.
The Sixth Prince looked concerned, but he couldn't help feeling nervous inside.
Today is exactly the two days that my mother mentioned. Could it be that my father is really well again?
If that were the case...
The Sixth Prince felt very complicated. On the one hand, he was glad that his actions were all carried out in private, but on the other hand, he felt a little disappointed!
After Zhang Defu greeted the princes one by one, he answered Wen Xu with a smile.
"Replying to the Sixth Prince, the Emperor is in much better spirits today. As the Emperor feels better, he has sent me to invite the other princes in!"
The Sixth Prince felt lost for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and looked happy.
"Really? That's great! I knew Father would get better!"
Whether sincere or not, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince were all very excited.
They said auspicious words that the emperor would be blessed with great fortune and a long life.
"Butler Zhang, you said the Emperor wanted to see us. Is that true? Does the Emperor really want to see us? Is he really well?"
Wen Shen felt like a piece of cake had fallen from the sky, and was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
"In reply to the eldest prince, yes, the emperor wishes to see all the princes."
Zhang Defu was a little touched to see the eldest prince so happy. It seemed that the eldest prince was the only one who was truly happy that the emperor was getting better!
Look how excited he is. He must tell the emperor about this later.
Wen Shen's happiness was of course genuine, and his excitement was not at all acted.
However, what made him happy was not that the emperor got better, but that he finally had the chance to meet the emperor and drug him!
Zhang Defu flicked the whisk in his hand and said with a smile, "The emperor said that, except for the Sixth Prince, all the princes, from youngest to oldest, should go in to see him."
Upon hearing this, a hint of viciousness flashed in the eyes of the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince. A hint of unwillingness flashed across the eyes of the First Prince, but then he thought of his own plan and felt that this was a good idea!
Inside the palace, the emperor suddenly felt full of strength today. Not only could he speak clearly, he could even sit up!
His condition is either an improvement or a last gasp of recovery.
The emperor firmly believed that he was the first type. He thought he was getting better soon and wanted to do something now that he had the strength again!
