After learning what happened in the Golden Palace, Li Ting immediately told Fan Zuan.
Fan Zuan was stunned for a moment.
All the instrument scans indicated that Emperor Hui could not possibly regain consciousness. However, Emperor Hui actually regained consciousness when he arrived at the Golden Palace, which he was very familiar with and fond of.
The allure of imperial power!
Even after he died, Xiao Jing probably wanted to get up and sit on that dragon throne again!
It must be said that the human brain is an amazing thing, and there are still too many mysteries that science cannot explain.
So what if he's awake? The world already belongs to Xiao Sheng anyway.
After such a long period of maneuvering, his elder brother handed over all military power in the Southern Chen Kingdom to the Crown Prince.
It has to be said that this elder brother is a military genius with great talent and vision!
But then I thought of Li Xingran. It was because Li Xingran had read the original book that she was able to foresee other people's predictions and change everyone's fate.
Fortunately, I'm on the Crown Prince's side this time; otherwise, I don't know what kind of fate awaited me.
Li Xingran learned that Emperor Hui had actually regained consciousness in such an environment.
He sighed repeatedly, marveling at how this wicked feudal society, with its supreme imperial power, could actually make a fool come to his senses.
How deeply Emperor Hui coveted the throne!
It's an obsession etched into our genes.
Li Xingran no longer cared about matters of the court.
The Crown Prince's fate has changed. His five older brothers now have their own careers and are no longer obsessed with studying for fame and fortune.
My mother is in good health and has not been bedridden.
My father's leg has also been healed.
However, since he hadn't announced it to everyone yet, he was still pretending to be limping.
In this war without bloodshed, countless righteous and selfless people have made various efforts in secret, hoping that Xiao Shenghui will be a wise ruler who lives up to the support of everyone!
Xiao Sheng was busy in the palace.
Many things are also left to Wan Nian to carry out.
Yuan Qibao was promoted by Xiao Sheng to the position of chief eunuch, in charge of all the eunuchs in the entire imperial city.
Qianmian and Xiaoma'er were still by Xiao Sheng's side, running errands for him.
All ministers in the court who had come into contact with opium were temporarily detained by the Ministry of Justice.
Once the truth is found and the innocent are found to be innocent, they will be released and returned to their hometowns.
Those who make mistakes will be punished according to the severity of the error.
Some of the ministers who were implicated with Zhao Yunwan were cunning old foxes who confessed even before they had a chance to commit treason.
He wanted to use this to keep his official position.
Xiao Sheng did retain their official positions, but because of this special period, many things still needed to be done by these former officials.
Under Wan Nian's leadership, the work of various government offices in the capital continued as usual.
The situation of some palace maids, eunuchs, and female officials in the imperial city was miserable.
Following Li Xingran's wishes, Xiao Sheng expelled all the eunuchs and palace maids who had previously flattered him to death from the palace and sent them to the frontier to do hard labor.
No one dared to beg for mercy.
After all, Zhao Yunwan did not explicitly order them to corrupt Xiao Sheng; they all tried to guess Zhao Yunwan's intentions and cater to her.
If it were things that Zhao Yunwan forced him to do through power, Xiao Sheng might have shown leniency.
After Emperor Hui was taken to the Taihe Hall, he was given a bowl of medicinal soup.
After taking the medicine, Emperor Hui felt weak all over and could only lie limp on the bed.
He didn't even have the strength to speak.
He could only curse Zhao Yunshu countless times in his heart.
After scolding Zhao Yunshu, he then scolded Xiao Sheng.
Finally, he dug up his deceased parents and kept cursing them.
Emperor Hui never imagined he would spend the rest of his life in the Taihe Hall.
Before long, Linghu Yao brought over several concubines.
The concubines dared not approach Emperor Hui.
Having been defiled by the fake Emperor Hui himself, how could he dare to go to the side of the real Emperor Hui?
Emperor Hui showed no interest in these new faces.
I simply closed my eyes and lay down.
She soon fell into a deep sleep.
At the beginning of midnight, Liang Qianfan arrived at Chonghua Palace.
He led Xiao Ding to the Heavenly Prison without any hindrance.
Liang Qianfan slipped a few ingots of gold to the jailer and was able to enter the prison smoothly.
Xiao Sheng had already given instructions that Xiao Ding should not be stopped from doing whatever he wanted.
They arrived at the cell where Zhao Yunwan was being held.
Xiao Ding ran over crying.
"Mother, Ding'er has come to see you."
When Zhao Yunwan saw Xiao Ding, she was first surprised, then happy.
He tightly grasped Xiao Ding's hand by the prison door.
"Ding'er, you, what brings you here?"
"Ding'er is worried about Mother Empress, and Ding'er wants to save Mother Empress."
"What's the situation outside?"
Liang Qianfan stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Hui has woken up, but Xiao Sheng has taken him to the Taihe Palace."
"The Hall of Supreme Harmony has always been the residence of the retired emperor."
"The situation is settled; Xiao Sheng has usurped the throne!"
"All the court officials sided with Xiao Sheng."
"Have those ministers who were on good terms with me turned against me?"
Zhao Yunwan gripped the iron bars of the cell and asked anxiously.
"Those heartless bastards are giving their statements to the Prime Minister right now! They've thrown all the blame on you! You'd better think of something!"
"These heartless bastards, all their immense wealth was given to them by me! And when it comes down to it, they can't even be of any use!"
"I was so blind to have promoted those people."
Upon hearing that Emperor Hui had awakened but had become the retired emperor, Zhao Yunchen and Zhao Guangyun, who were standing nearby, immediately felt that they had no chance of turning their lives around.
