Chapter 346 There's a Time Traveler in the Palace (38)
By forcing the emperor to abdicate, one could confront the emperor directly and compel him to write an edict.

Because without the emperor's decree, no matter what Huang Wenqin did afterward, his ascension to the throne would be illegitimate.

Therefore, Huang Wenqin needed to go to Yixin Hall, and then, in full view of everyone, take out an imperial edict from it and hand it over to Eunuch Guo to read aloud.

The content states that the throne was passed to Huang Wenqin, and Huang Tinghe became the retired emperor, focusing on recuperating.

Whether the content was written by the emperor himself is no longer important.

As long as it comes from Yixin Palace, as long as it bears the imperial seal, and as long as it is read aloud by Eunuch Guo, whom the emperor trusts most.

Then everything will fall into place naturally and be under control.

They then discussed the date for the coup.

Currently, the most suitable time seems to be three days from now.

In these three days, they only need to discuss how to deal with Jin Lingjun with minimal losses.

After seeing off his accomplices, Huang Wenqin returned to his room, where his concubine came to give him a massage.

After taking a bath together, Huang Wenqin fell asleep with his beloved in his arms.

But before Huang Wenqin could sleep until the next morning, he was woken up in the middle of the night.

He was awakened by his most trusted guard.

The guards actually broke down the door and came to Huang Wenqin's bedside, shaking him awake.

He woke up looking bewildered, his head still spinning as he looked at the anxious guards.

Huang Wenqin already had a bad temper, and being woken up in the middle of the night made him furious.

He was about to unleash his morning grumpiness when the other person's words completely extinguished his anger.

"Your Highness! The Emperor... the Emperor has passed away!"

???

Huang Wenqin was shocked. He froze, completely unable to react.

This is not what he expected.
Then, the guard's next words were like a bucket of water mixed with ice, which chilled Huang Wenqin to the bone.

"Eunuch Guo, Eunuch Guo has just announced the imperial decree. He has declared that the Emperor will pass the throne to the Second Prince, Huang Yanqin."

"What???"

Huang Wenqin immediately threw off the covers and stood up from the bed.

The concubine beside him was awakened by the noise. She asked in a daze what had happened and reached out to hug Huang Wenqin.

Huang Wenqin kicked her, and the concubine's head hit the headboard, causing blood to gush out and her to faint.

Wearing only his inner garment, he took a cloak from a nearby rack and draped it over himself before walking outside with his guards.

He learned the general course of events from the guards' descriptions along the way.

The Emperor woke up in the middle of the night and insisted on seeing Consort Qin.

Eunuch Guo then sent someone to fetch Consort Qin.

The Emperor and Consort Qin were alone in a room with the door closed, and it is unknown what they were saying.

After a long while, Qin Fei's loud crying suddenly came from inside, and Eunuch Guo quickly led his men inside.

Then they discovered that the Emperor had passed away, and Consort Qin was holding an imperial edict.

Eunuch Guo then read out the imperial edict.

It reads: The throne shall be passed to the second prince.

Huang Wenqin didn't believe it.

He urgently ordered someone to find the ministers from earlier that day and have them come over immediately to discuss countermeasures.

As he walked, Huang Wenqin suddenly stopped.

The guards standing nearby also stopped.

Huang Wenqin remained silent for a moment before asking, "Father, has he really passed away?"

The guard lowered his head slightly, not daring to look the other person in the eye, and simply replied with a "Yes."

Huang Wenqin paused for a moment, then strode towards the study without saying anything more.

The entire imperial city was in an uproar.

Almost all the ministers were awakened from their sleep.

They never expected that the Emperor would die like this. Huang Yanqin was also shocked.

He never expected his father to suddenly pass away and pass the throne to him.

Seeing Eunuch Guo holding the imperial edict on the steps, and Yu Muhuai weeping and wiping away tears beside him, Huang Yanqin felt a complex mix of emotions.

By the time order was restored somewhat in the palace, the sky had already begun to lighten.

Huang Yanqin walked to Yu Muhuai's side and bowed respectfully, "Mother Consort."

Yu Muhuai wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, looked at the other person, and didn't say anything. She could tell that he had something to say.

"Mother, your son has something to say."

Yu Muhuai nodded and said, "Then let's talk at Wanle Palace."

With that, Yu Muhuai walked outside.

Huang Yanqin followed silently behind her, watching her back the whole time.

Yu Muhuai felt the intense gaze behind her, but she didn't react at all.

Back at Wanle Palace, after closing the door and dismissing the servants, Yu Muhuai finally sat down on the bed.

"Go ahead."

After a long period of planning and a whole night of frantic running around, Yu Muhuai finally completed this important task.

She's very tired and just wants to get some sleep.

Moreover, since the person opposite her was her nominal son, she spoke much more freely.

Huang Yanqin did not sit down. He stood to the side, looking at Yu Muhuai with an unusually complicated expression.

"Mother, your son wants to know the truth."

Yu Muhuai picked up the tea that had long since gone cold from the table and casually poured himself a cup.

After drinking the water, she glanced at Huang Yanqin sideways and chuckled softly.

What truth do you want?

"The son wants to know the truth about his father's death and how he obtained the throne."

Yu Muhuai raised an eyebrow and looked down at the teacup in his hand.

After a long while, she put the teacup on the table, propped her chin up with one hand, and leaned her body over.

She was genuinely tired, but this brat was still nagging on and on.

That's asking for a beating.

"The truth is that your father died tonight because of Mo Chan's love potion and his own lack of self-control.

Before your father passed away, I discussed the matter with him for a long time and finally decided that you would be his successor.

What? You're not satisfied with this result?
Or perhaps you have other thoughts in your mind, such as that I murdered your father, that I forged an imperial edict, or that all of this is false?

Huang Yanqin was stunned. He never expected the other party to say it so bluntly.

He bowed and said, "I dare not. I just feel that there is something fishy about this."

Yu Muhuai nodded. "I know."

Huang Yanqin looked up at the other person, a puzzled expression on his face.

Yu Muhuai continued, "I know that not only you will feel something is amiss, but many people will feel the same way."

As she spoke, she stood up.

At this moment, her aura completely changed.

This was completely different from the Qin Fei who had just been leaning against the desk with a languid expression.

Yu Muhuai looked sharply at Huang Yanqin, his gaze filled with an air of dominance and arrogance.

"But even if everyone has doubts, so what?"

She walked up to Huang Yanqin, and although she looked up at him, she overwhelmed him with her imposing presence.

she continued.

"Yanqin, you must remember, all we need to do is let those people see what they need to see."

Sometimes, the process is important. But sometimes, we just need to let them know the result.

That's all for today!
