Chapter 609: Palace Change (Part 1)
The emperor was a suspicious person, and he was afraid that the people who tested the medicine on him had been bribed, so the people who tested the medicine on him were different every day, and the order in which these people tested the medicine was also shuffled, and whoever was randomly assigned to test the medicine would be the one.
Because of this, these drug testers only taste a little bit of poison every day, which has no harm to their bodies. After a period of time, the toxicity will be naturally excreted from the body through metabolism.
Only the emperor drank poison every day.
The toxicity accumulated in the body becomes increasingly stronger.
Until tonight, when the poison took effect and he vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Queen Qin smiled and said, "Your suspicion just made it easier for Prince Xiling to take action. This is probably what they call being too clever."
The emperor was so furious that his face turned from pale to abnormally red.
"You vicious woman, you actually colluded with outsiders to harm me?!"
"Someone come! Someone come quickly, arrest this vicious woman for me!"
However, no matter how he shouted, it was quiet outside, without any sound at all, and no one came in to help him.
The emperor became increasingly uneasy.
At this moment, a short scream suddenly came from outside!
Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian and Concubine Rou were all trembling with fear.
The next moment, the door was knocked open.
Gan Fu, covered in blood, staggered in and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty, this is bad! Qin Zhong has led his troops into the palace, and our Weiyang Palace has been surrounded!"
The emperor was filled with fear and shock, his emotions were churning wildly, and the poison caused the attack again.
He lay on the edge of the bed, opened his mouth and spat out another large mouthful of blood!
Gan Fu screamed, "Your Majesty!"
He used his hands and feet to crawl to the side of the bed, trying to reach out to help the emperor, but was blocked by the emperor.
The emperor is now very weak, his head is covered in cold sweat, and his voice is intermittent.
"What you said... is true? Qin Zhong... is he really rebelling? Where are Xiao Lingfeng and his men? Where are the imperial guards? Is there no one... to stop them?"
There was blood and sweat on Gan Fu's face, mixed together in all colors, it was a horrible sight.
He didn't bother to wipe it off and spoke with difficulty.
"I just sent someone to look for General Xiao, but he never came back.
Feeling uneasy, I went outside to check in person.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the gate of Weiyang Palace, he saw a crowd of people outside, led by Qin Zhong.
As for the people I sent out to look for General Xiao, they had already been beheaded by them, and their bodies were lying at the gate of Weiyang Palace."
Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Rou were so frightened that their legs went weak and their faces became paler than each other.
They just found out that the emperor was seriously ill because he was poisoned by King Xiling.
Before they could digest this shocking news, they were told that Qin Zhong had rebelled and entered the palace.
And Queen Qin was obviously their accomplice.
They colluded inside and outside to seize power and usurp the throne!
Concubine Ning bravely asked, "Queen, you are plotting treason, and your entire clan will be executed!"
Queen Qin glanced at her.
There was a condescending look in his eyes, as if he was looking at an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
"You are wrong. We are not rebelling. We just want to ask the emperor for a favor."
The emperor supported himself on the bed with his hands and raised his upper body with difficulty.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice extremely hoarse.
"Why? You are my queen. What good will it do you if I die?"
Queen Qin chuckled: "If you are alive, I can only be the queen, but if you die, I can be the queen mother. Compared to the queen, I would rather be the queen mother."
"Who do you want to make emperor? The crown prince?"
Queen Qin shook her head and said, "No, the crown prince has been abandoned. We have chosen someone else. You will definitely be very satisfied with this person."
"Who is it?"
A voice came from outside the door.
"It's me."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw King You Luo Yunxuan striding in.
Also coming in with him were King Xiling and Xie Chuxue.
Prince Xiling still did not look very good and looked sickly.
When he stepped over the threshold, Xie Chuxue reached out and helped him.
The moment Roupin saw Luo Yunxuan, her eyes immediately lit up, and the surprise of seeing her son even overwhelmed her fear.
She took two steps forward involuntarily: "Yunxuan!"
Luo Yunxuan walked over and called out, "Mother, are you okay?"
Roupin shook her head: "I'm fine."
The emperor looked at the scene in disbelief.
"Yunxuan, why are you here? Why are you... with King Xiling? You... you..."
Luo Yunxuan pulled Roupin behind him.
He looked at his dying father lying on the bed, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.
"Father, it's been a long time since we last met. I did not go to Youyun County as you ordered. I feel that Shengjing City is more suitable for me than the remote Youyun County."
"As for the King of Xiling, he is now on my side. He and the Qin family are all my supporters. They support me to succeed to the throne."
The emperor thought this was ridiculous.
For a moment, he thought he was dreaming.
It's as if all this is fake.
When the emperor learned that the Qin family and Prince Xiling had joined forces to rebel, he felt only anger.
But now Luo Yunxuan's betrayal made him feel shocked and angry, as well as deeply hurt.
He had many sons, but among them, his favorite was the second prince Luo Yunxuan.
Even though he demoted Luo Yunxuan to Youyun County, it was also to allow Luo Yunxuan to temporarily avoid the fighting in Shengjing City, and Luo Yunxuan could build up his own power and army in Youyun County.
If Luo Qinghan had any intention of usurping the throne in the future, he could legitimately depose the crown prince and recall Luo Yunxuan from Youyun County.
He had even written the edict to depose the crown prince, and it would take effect only after it was stamped with the imperial seal.
But who would have thought.
Luo Yunxuan, his favorite son, became the one who stabbed him in the chest at the critical moment? !
The emperor covered his aching chest and found it difficult to breathe.
King Xiling couldn't help laughing when he saw his painful expression.
"Oh, Your Majesty, don't be sad. You are ill now and can no longer handle government affairs.
How about you give up the throne to your favorite King You?"
Luo Yunxuan also said: "Father, don't worry, even if I inherit the throne, you are still the emperor, I will take good care of you and will never let you suffer any grievances."
The emperor felt a fishy and sweet taste rising up his throat.
He clenched his teeth and forced down the fishy-sweet taste.
"Even if... you kill me, we still have the Crown Prince. He is the legitimate heir to the Great Sheng Dynasty... Your evil plot will never succeed!"
Prince Xiling smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already written the edict to depose the crown prince, right? How can there be a crown prince in the Great Sheng Dynasty?"
He took out a piece of light golden cloth from his sleeve.
When he unfolded it, he saw that it was the emperor's edict to depose the crown prince that he had hidden in the secret compartment of his study!
Originally, there was no imperial seal on the edict, but now, there was a red imperial seal clearly visible on the edict.
