Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 238 Emperor Collapse
The emperor was seriously ill and was unable to go to the early court. After discussing it with all the civil and military officials, they went back to the yamen to do their errands.

This afternoon, there was news that King Jin was unharmed and was about to return to Beijing.

Jiang Changning smiled and said to the concubine: "Concubine mother, I said that the prince will return safely, am I right?"

"You're right." The concubine knew her son was safe and sound, so she would be all right.

Most of the people in the world acted according to the wind. Knowing that Prince Jin was fine, the officers and soldiers guarding Prince Jin's mansion did not stop the people from entering and leaving the Prince Jin's mansion.

The next day, Yan Yinyao took Princess Kangren and Zeng Mi to pick up King Jin at the gate of the city, but Jiang Changning didn't go because he had a big belly.

When entering the city, King Jin was sitting on the horse, wearing a black suit and a black cloak, with a high spirit and extraordinary heroism.

"Uncle Wang."

"Uncle Biao."

Princess Kangren and Zeng Mi stood on the second floor of the teahouse and shouted loudly.

King Jin heard it, smiled at them, and waved.

"Ah, my lord!" All the women onlookers exclaimed, "Your lord is looking at me."

"My lord sees me."

"It's not you, it's me."

"My lord, my lord, I'm here."

Yan Yinyao pursed her lips and smiled, "Cousin is still popular with women as always."

"I heard from them that there are many women who want to enter the palace to serve the prince." The maid said.

Yan Yinyao casually asked, "What about you?"

"Slave, slave don't dare." The maid bowed her head.

Yan Yinyao said solemnly: "Don't worry about it, it's not good for you." After a pause, "I ignored it, you are not young, you should be married."

The maid bent her legs and was about to kneel down, another maid beside her quickly supported her.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it when we go back to the house." Yan Yinyao ignored her, and looked out of the window again.

King Jin was stopped by someone, and the one who stopped him was the servant from the palace.

The servant came with the Queen's order, "My lord, the Queen has summoned you to enter the palace immediately to discuss something."

King Jin frowned. He entered the city with a high profile to deliberately spread the news of the emperor's serious illness, but why was the empress empress the one who summoned him into the palace?
It stands to reason that it should be the Queen Mother's decree, which is more appropriate.

There is something to discuss!
In this way, aren't you afraid of causing people's daydreams?
"Why is it the empress who summoned the king? But something happened to your majesty?" King Jin asked intentionally.

The servant hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the truth.

King Jin said again: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, and the empress's concubine's call, I dare not accept it."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not trying to interfere in the government affairs, but His Majesty is suddenly seriously ill. The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager have ordered other adults to enter the palace." The servant said eagerly.

It was the queen's intention to summon King Jin. The queen mother was reluctant, but she couldn't stop it, she just acquiesced.

"Why is Your Majesty seriously ill?" King Jin asked knowingly again.

The servant didn't know how to answer, and King Jin didn't need him to answer, so he immediately continued: "The imperial physicians from the imperial hospital are behind, let them enter the palace with me to treat your majesty."

The matter of the emperor's serious illness, after such a publicity, everyone knows.

Pessimistic people are thinking, is there going to be another national funeral?

Optimistic people are thinking that the white cloth piled up in the warehouse can be sold.

King Jin entered the palace, saw the half-dead emperor on the bed, curled the corners of his lips, let alone hurting him again and again, and dared to covet his princess, he really thought he had no temper, right?

The emperor exhausted all his strength and stared at King Jin bitterly.

It's a pity that neither the queen mother nor the empress knew how to read minds, so they couldn't hear his inner cries.

All the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital checked the emperor's pulse, but none of them diagnosed the emperor's illness.

King Qing, King De, King Yu, General Song, Shangshu, several state and county officials were all called into the palace, and everyone was waiting in the side hall.

What are you waiting for, everyone knows it well, waiting for the emperor to die, waiting for the passing of the throne.

From the afternoon to the evening, a servant came in and said, "My lords, the Empress Dowager has summoned you."

All the officials filed in, seeing the comatose emperor, they could already predict that he was about to die.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress squeezed the handkerchiefs, covered their mouths, and wept.

"My two ladies, I would like to express my condolences." Duke Xinjian said bravely.

The emperor is about to die, and the funeral needs to be arranged. No matter how much you cry, you can't bring the emperor back to life.

The Empress Dowager wiped away her tears and said, "There is a decree drawn up by a Bachelor of Labor."

"Yes, ma'am." A middle-aged official replied.

Although the emperor has only one son, he had to write an imperial edict to pass on the throne.

After the meeting, Bachelor Fang brought the drafted imperial decree to show to the Empress Dowager, because it was drafted by Bachelor Fang, not the emperor's oral appeal, so there were no modest words in the imperial decree, it was all flattery.

What do you want to bring about the peace of the sea and the peace of the people, work diligently, be careful and cautious, and never hesitate
And do your best, like a day, do your best
If you don't know that the emperor has come to the throne and have no achievements, just listen to this edict, you will really mistakenly think that the emperor is a wise emperor.

At this time, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes, looked straight ahead, his lips twitched and said: "Jin"

He wanted to say that it was King Jin who poisoned him, but he only said one word and tilted his head.

The head of the Tai Hospital reached out and touched his neck, shaking his head.

Eunuch Yu choked up and shouted: "The emperor is dead!"

"Emperor!"

"His Majesty!"

The Empress Dowager and Empress wept loudly, tears rolling down like broken beads.

The people in the room cried and knelt down one after another, whether they were really sad or fake, they all looked sad at this moment.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. Go and invite the emperor to arrange the funeral of the late emperor." The queen who is about to become the queen mother said in a deep voice.

Although the new emperor was less than three years old and didn't know how to arrange the funeral of the late emperor, it had to be in his name.

The funeral can be arranged, but the biggest problem now is that the new emperor is too young to manage the government.

Someone must support the new emperor and make decisions for the new emperor.

Is it the Empress Dowager?
Or Prince Regent?

Sui Guogong hoped that the Empress Dowager would come to court, and several princes wanted the Prince to be regent.

General Song found Sui Guogong, "I would like to join hands with you to let the queen mother come to court, but the new emperor also respects the adoptive mother of the imperial concubine as the queen mother."

Sui Guogong sneered, "It's pretty beautiful as you can imagine."

"If you don't join hands with me, can you, the Duke of Sui, be able to deal with those princes?" General Song asked with a confident smile.

Sui Guogong was silent for a long time, and said: "Good."

But he agreed, but his daughter's ex-empress refused, "That bitch is ashamed to call herself a adoptive mother. She has only raised the new emperor for a long time, and she is worthy of being honored as the empress dowager."

"She is just a concubine, don't want to be called Queen Mother with me."

"Father, Song is as cunning as a fox. If you team up with him, you are seeking skin from a tiger. Besides, even if you join forces with Song, do you think you can win against those princes?"

Sui Guogong fell into deep thought.
