Chapter 422 Angry
"Since my father has told you, why did you come to see me?" Zhan Yeyuan's voice was cold and he was confused in his heart. What was going on with his father?
How could he tell Zhan Qingheng such a secret matter?
Doesn’t the Queen know about this too?
It seems he needs to find an opportunity to go to the palace.
"My father is seriously ill and has lost his mind. He can't even recognize me and thinks my mother is the former empress." Zhan Qingheng said coldly.
"Is my father so seriously ill?" Zhan Yeyuan's face was full of disbelief.
He remembered that before Nan Jiao left the capital, she arranged for Gu Feng to come to the palace to take care of him, and she also wrote a prescription for him, telling him to follow the instructions.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that serious.
"It seems that the prince doesn't care about father that much." Zhan Qingheng's tone was tinged with sarcasm, as if his father still valued him so much and wanted to pass the throne to him.
Zhan Yeyuan was not angry either, his face was calm: "My father is ill, and I am busy as the acting governor. I will go to the palace to visit him later."
"Who is plotting a rebellion?" Zhan Qingheng asked directly.
"Didn't the Emperor tell you?"
"He couldn't remember it for a moment."
"In that case, I cannot tell you. This matter must be kept secret."
Zhan Qingheng's face darkened, and he expressed his dissatisfaction directly: "Why do you and the third brother know about this, but I can't know about it?"
Zhan Yeyuan said confidently, "Because the other party took Yoyo Baoer hostage, Beiheng and the others would deal with it quietly. Do you understand?"
Zhan Qingheng: "..."
Were the two bastards kidnapped by the rebels?
"Is there anything else, my royal brother?" Zhan Yeyuan's voice was cold.
"Can't you tell me who it is? I won't say anything nonsense. Besides, the Third Prince and his men have been gone for so long, they must have met each other."
Zhan Qingheng said unwillingly that he still wanted to know who was so brave.
"I can't tell you. You can go ask my father." Zhan Yeyuan insisted. If he told you, he would be telling the empress in disguise.
Of course, so much time has passed.
Bei Heng and Nan Jiao must have arrived in Xian'an City. I'm sure the Huangfu family has passed the news to the Queen.
Maybe the Queen already knows.
Zhan Qingheng's face darkened and he left angrily.
…
Yangxin Palace.
Zhan Yeyuan and Feng Qingqing entered the palace together. When they entered, Emperor Jingming and the Empress were sitting on the couch, talking and laughing, and they looked in good spirits.
"I have seen the emperor."
"My daughter-in-law has met my father."
Emperor Jingming smiled kindly and said in a joyful voice, "It's the Crown Prince. Your mother is back. Come and have a look."
Zhan Yeyuan had a warm smile on his face. He looked at the empress and said, "Your son has seen you, mother."
Feng followed suit and saluted gently.
On the way here, the prince told her about his father's condition, saying that he mistook the empress for the former empress, and that he was experiencing symptoms of hallucinations and amnesia.
I didn't expect it to be true.
My father was fine some time ago, how come his condition suddenly became so serious?
The queen smiled softly: "I'm glad you're here. I was just talking to the emperor about you."
I feel indescribable anger in my heart.
He couldn't recognize Qingheng, but he recognized Zhan Yeyuan, so in his eyes, there was only the child he had with Xue Qinghe?
"Father, I heard from my second brother that you were in poor health. Why didn't you send someone to inform me when you were feeling unwell?" Zhan Ye frowned.
"You help me handle state affairs, and I don't want you to worry." Emperor Jingming explained.
"You should tell your son." Zhan Yeyuan said seriously, his eyes as calm as water. Did he really regard the queen as his mother, or was he just pretending?
Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "How do you feel about handling state affairs for me recently?"
Zhan Yeyuan said in a gentle voice: "I finally understand how hard your father has worked these years. Your Majesty, please rest assured and recuperate. I will do my best to handle the affairs."
"Your words make me feel relieved. It seems that I should pass the throne to you sooner. My health is probably not good enough."
When Emperor Jingming finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
The queen's heart sank, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, you are in good health, don't let your imagination run wild."
He wouldn't really want Zhan Yeyuan to ascend the throne and become emperor!
Emperor Jingming shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "I know my body best. I have been forgetting things lately and I am more tired and sleepy than ever before."
"I owed you too much in the past. Now that you have finally come back, I just want to spend the rest of my life with you."
At the end, he held her hand tightly.
The queen pursed her lips, her heart filled with hatred. She had almost lost her mind, and all she could think about was that bastard Xue Qinghe.
To compensate her.
He even wanted to give up the throne so that he could live with her.
"Your Majesty, you will definitely get better." The Queen pretended to choke up with sobs. It seemed that she really couldn't wait any longer, otherwise he would write the edict of succession.
There was no point in her struggling any further.
She had to get an edict written by him personally, with the name Qingheng and stamped with the imperial seal.
That's all.
Even if the Crown Prince and Prince Jin are dissatisfied by then, everything is a foregone conclusion.
"Ye Yuan, go and do your thing. Your mother will accompany me. I've just been sitting for a while and I feel a little sleepy now." Emperor Jingming said with a faint smile.
"Your Majesty, please take your time to rest. I'll take my leave now." Zhan Yeyuan said and bowed.
Feng Qingqing also bowed.
The two left Yangxin Palace together.
Along the way.
Feng Qingqing was uneasy. All she could think about were the words of Emperor Jingming, which clearly meant that he wanted to give the throne to the crown prince immediately, and then he would ascend the throne.
What about her?
She is the Crown Princess now, so doesn't that mean she will become the Empress?
But their marriage was an agreement.
She already holds the title of Crown Princess and can no longer hold the title of Empress.
Sudden.
Zhan Yeyuan's body staggered.
"Your Highness." Mo Lan called nervously.
Feng Qingqing, who was thinking about something, immediately raised her head and saw Mo Lan holding the prince. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Zhan Yeyuan stood up straight and said in a light voice: "It's okay."
Feng looked at his face gently, frowned and said, "Did you stay up late to handle government affairs? You...don't think you can be carefree just because you are well."
She became a little angry when she spoke of the latter part.
Ever since Bai Lao returned to Penglai Island, she has been taking care of him personally. She just wants him to be in good health, like a normal person.
After she used the dietary supplements and medicinal food taught by Nan Jiao, his complexion indeed became better and better.
But she would still remind him to have a good rest and not to be reckless just because he was feeling better.
Zhan Yeyuan looked at the woman's angry yet forbearing expression and smiled silently in his heart.
"My father is ill, my grandfather is ill, and my third brother is not in the capital. All the affairs of the court fall on me, and I have to pay attention to them."
Feng bit her red lips lightly, "Then you should also pay attention to rest."
"Well, let's go back." Zhan Yeyuan said and walked forward.
Feng looked at his back gently, feeling helpless and distressed. As the crown prince, he had responsibilities to bear.
