Chapter 468 New Emperor Candidates

  The emperor was overjoyed, the whole person seemed to be relieved, he lay back, and closed his eyes with a smile.

  The queen walked towards the outside of the hall, and the figure looked a bit desolate and desolate.

  The Grand Duke and the Imperial Physician followed behind and stepped out of the threshold of the Zixiao Palace. The Queen turned around and glanced at it, and said faintly, "Get ready."

   The Grand Duke and the Imperial Doctor exchanged glances, tacitly understanding, and respectfully responded.

  The emperor never got up again after lying down. At the second quarter of Shenshi, the death knell sounded.

Du Shoufu, who had just stood up, was so frightened that he almost fell, and hurriedly entered the palace under the service of his wife. The courtiers of the fourth rank and above were all on the way. Gorgeous and dazzling glazed lanterns disappeared, replaced by a row of pale lanterns, and the red silk cloth had been replaced with white silk.

  The civil and military officials came to the outside of the Zixiao Hall and knelt down together without saying a word. It was not until the Grand Duke appeared that Du Shoufu shivered and asked, "Father, why did the emperor leave so suddenly?"

The Grand Duke sighed, "My lord, the servant knows what you mean, even the Empress can't accept it. After you left, the Emperor woke up once, and the imperial doctor also checked the pulse. I was afraid that the Emperor knew that his physical condition was unacceptable, and he would not accept it at all. Dare to talk too much, and keep coaxing the emperor to rest, at that time it was obviously fine, who knows. Who knows that the emperor will sleep forever!"

   As he said that, the Grand Duke began to wipe away his tears, very sad.

  Du Shoufu also followed the old tears and cried, his voice was a little hoarse, and asked again: "The emperor didn't leave a few words? About the new emperor."

   Civil and military officials all perked up their ears at this moment.

The Grand Duke had a look of embarrassment on his face, and shook his head heavily, "Boss, at that time, the Empress didn't even dare to mention it, for fear of stimulating the emperor. I thought that the emperor had recovered some energy, so I fell asleep and said. It's fine if you're not sure, I'll take a long-term view then, I didn't expect it.

   "Alas! Now that all the princes are dead and wounded, no one can come to the throne! If it weren't for the persecution of the demon concubine and the minister, the emperor would not have fallen to this level!" Du Shoufu was heartbroken.

   But the fact is that the emperor's son died and only a maimed prince was left. How to inherit the throne? As for those imperial grandsons, they are all descended from concubines. Only the fifth prince and concubine have direct sons, but they are not of the royal bloodline. It is equivalent to that no one in the emperor's family is qualified to inherit the great lineage.

You can't choose a new emperor from the emperor's branch, so you can only choose from a side branch. However, Prince Xian rebelled and was no longer considered within the scope. The remaining candidates were Prince Li, King Dingbei, and King Lingnan. The three and the emperor were one. Mother compatriots, all direct descendants, are eligible, and priority is given to them.

   In just a split second, the courtiers wanted to understand the key here, but who among the three kings can succeed the throne, the focus is still on the queen!

  The eyes of everyone all looked in the direction of Fengyi Palace.

   Grand Duke came over from the Zixiao Palace and respectfully saluted the Queen, saying, "Empress Empress, according to your instructions, the servants have already informed the ministers about the situation."

The Queen    knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, and asked without swaying or moving, "What did you say?"

   "No." The Grand Duke replied honestly, and asked hesitantly, "Niangniang, do you want His Royal Highness to enter the palace to discuss it?"

The queen's movements were stagnant, and her voice couldn't tell her emotions, "What do you want him to do in the palace? He's just a defunct person, why bother with these right and wrong, you just have to ask someone out of the palace to give him a word Let's just say, his revenge was avenged for him by his mother! In the future, whether this Great Qi will prosper or decline, it has nothing to do with our mother and son!"

   Grand Duke did not dare to say a word.

The Queen    paused before asking, "How is Xiao Guang's preparations going?"

  The Grand Duke came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The prince of Dingbei has already prepared, and this time he saved the car and prevented the palace change. If he succeeds, the courtiers should have no objection."

   "Where's Prince Li?"

"Prince Li doesn't seem to have this idea, and the prince is not the material!" Thinking of the alien who traveled abroad all the year round and doesn't like power, the corners of the Grand Duke's mouth couldn't help twitching. He is really a wonderful flower in the Xiao family, once the emperor It was a pity that he and Qiongzhu had the wrong gender.

The Queen    replied softly and continued to turn the rosary.

  The Grand Duke withdrew and immediately sent someone to pass the news to all parties.

Xiao Guang returned to the Dingbei Palace a long time ago. When he received the news, the corners of his mouth raised a smirk of determination. He secretly thought about it and went through what happened in Chengqing Palace in his heart. He suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Where are Xiao Ding and the others? Now? Where have you been?"

  Pingshun was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "After the Prince of Lingnan left the palace, he went straight out of the city, maybe he went back to the Wen family courtyard."

   Last night, their main staff were all in the palace, but they didn't specifically look at the Prince of Lingnan.

   Xiao Guang frowned and ordered, "Send someone to Wen's house immediately to see if the Prince of Lingnan is still there!"

   "No need." Wen Youcheng came in from outside, sat down calmly, and said, "They have already returned to Lingnan in a hurry."

   "Damn it!" Xiao Guang slammed his fist on the table, not knowing whether it was the temperature of the city or the prince of Lingnan.

Wen Youcheng was calm, "Why do you need to be angry, the prince, their appearance was an accident, could it be that you still want to kill them all? If you don't have this intention, what if you just let them go back? When they arrive in Lingnan, you will be rightfully enthroned. What if the King of Lingnan is dissatisfied?"

  Xiao Guang thought about it carefully, it was really like this, he regained his composure, looked at him playfully, and said, "Pingcheng, are you really thinking this way or are you afraid that this prince will anger the Wen family, so you deliberately let people go!"

Wen Youcheng shook his head very solemnly, "The prince is worrying too much, the subordinates are just discussing the matter. Besides, the prince of Lingnan can bring people into the capital quietly, naturally there are some means, and now is an extraordinary time, Instead of wasting manpower and material resources against them, it's better to keep an eye on every move in the palace and see! Everything is under our control, isn't it?"

  Xiao Guang was blocked so much that he couldn't say anything, but he held his breath very much. He got up and strode out, not knowing where he was going.

  Pingshun followed behind and hurriedly caught up.

  The two rode out of the city and ran all the way to the suburbs. Seeing this direction, Ping Shun realized and asked loudly, "Is the prince going to Wen's house?"

   Xiao Guang ignored him at all.

  Pingshun said again: "The Wen family may not know what happened in the palace, what are you going to do?"

   Are there any doubts they haven't solved yet? After thinking about it for a long time, Ping Shun couldn't come up with it. In addition, his brain was like a paste while riding on the horse, and he couldn't even concentrate on thinking.

   The two finally arrived at Wen's house. At this time, it was dark and the surroundings were silent. In the darkness, only two lanterns outside the gate of Zhuangzi were shining faintly.

   Xiao Guang stepped forward and asked Pingshun to take down the two lanterns before knocking on the door to enter.
