After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 539 Let him ascend the throne immediately
For a moment, Prince Carter and Prince Wanxi's expressions darkened.

But they were no ordinary people. Their expressions immediately returned to their inscrutable state.

Pei Yuanjun was too lazy to play along with their act, so he said to Prince Zhao, "Prince Zhao, the Emperor is still critically ill. The safety of the envoys from Da Luo Kingdom, Wan Bao Kingdom, Da Shi Kingdom, and Bai Bao Kingdom is entrusted to you."

Although Prince Zhao was dissatisfied, these were clearly tasks that the Emperor had assigned to him to make things difficult for him, but he didn't expect that the Emperor would just casually throw them at him.

Seeing his reluctance, Pei Yuanjun sneered, "Prince Zhao commands hundreds of thousands of troops; surely he can't even handle such a small matter?"

Prince Zhao was frustrated. He wanted to disagree, but Pei Yuanjun was the prime minister. If he refused now, he would not only offend the people of the four kingdoms, but also become a laughing stock in their eyes!

Pei Yuanjun's move was truly brilliant; under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't even refuse!
After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, rest assured, I will definitely protect the envoys from the four kingdoms!"

Pei Yuanjun nodded in satisfaction and went into the inner room, where he found the emperor slowly waking up.

Looking at Pei Yuanjun and the Crown Prince by the bedside, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

Pei Yuanjun gave him a cold look: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. You can see that the four kingdoms are eyeing you covetously. You'd better cooperate with me, otherwise I can't guarantee whether Louqu Kingdom will still exist after you die."

Lou Chen's pupils widened. Pei Yuanjun actually dared to curse him? He couldn't die yet, so he slowly calmed himself down.

The imperial physician didn't dare utter a single word when he heard Pei Yuanjun's treasonous words.

Just kidding, if you still can't see the situation clearly, you're practically asking for death.

The Prime Minister has clearly taken control of the entire capital.

Pei Yuanjun continued, "Your Majesty, do not worry that I would covet your Lou family's empire. You should know that even if you eliminate me, you will not have the ability or strength to deal with the Zhao and Wei families. As long as you rightfully pass the throne to the Crown Prince, no one can take the Lou family's empire away!"

Lou Chen looked at Pei Yuanjun in disbelief. He had done so much just so that Crown Prince Jingxuan could ascend the throne smoothly?
"Your Majesty need not be surprised. Do you see those four countries outside that are eyeing you covetously? If you relax even slightly, they will completely divide up Louqu Kingdom! Now, you only have one choice: while you are still lucid, pass the throne to the Crown Prince immediately and let him ascend the throne right away."

Otherwise, if you die, the capital will be in chaos, and the Louqu Kingdom will surely be thrown into turmoil. At that time, it cannot be guaranteed that this place will still be the Lou family's empire.

After all, your personally appointed Prince Zhao is constantly watching you, waiting for an opportunity to act!

Lou Chen took a few deep breaths to compose himself. He looked at the Crown Prince with icy eyes: "Crown Prince, do you share this view?"

Jing Xuan looked at Lou Chen coldly: "I have no right to interfere with Father's decision. If Father is unwilling, I will not force you."

"Hehe..." Lou Chen sneered. He clearly wanted the throne, but he pretended to be all high and mighty and said he wouldn't force him.
I never imagined that the innocent and naive child from back then could become so cunning and unpredictable.

Indeed, the palace is the best place to temper one's character!
"Someone, bring me... paper and pen!" He coughed up blood with difficulty after saying that.

Pei Yuanjun watched coldly without stepping forward, and Jing Xuan also looked at him expressionlessly.

There was a hint of worry and reluctance in his eyes, but most of all, there was hatred!

Lou Chen suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha... Yes! That's the look in your eyes. Even if I have no choice but to pass the throne to you, you'll never find happiness or redemption in your entire life! Cough cough..."

The worry in Jing Xuan's eyes vanished instantly, and he looked at Lou Chen with an icy expression!

He had already understood his fate the moment he stepped into the palace; no further reminder was needed.

Whether he is happy or not is not important, as long as he can protect his godmother and sister.
