Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Lu Yingying didn't understand.

"Shouldn't the safety of your own children be the most important?"

Xiao Luoyi smiled and touched her head: "You, a child who is spoiled by your parents, you don't understand what those greedy people think."

After the morning court session the next day, the capital was in an uproar again.

After a detailed diagnosis, it was found that His Majesty the Emperor was not only poisoned, but also given a drug that would make him infertile, making it certain that he would be infertile!
This news shocked the entire court.

Every household is looking for connections to confirm the truth of the matter.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have no intention of covering up this matter, and actually allowed the imperial physician, the imperial guards, and the Ministry of Justice to leak the inside information.

After confirmation from multiple sources, everyone had to accept the fact: His Majesty the Emperor was diagnosed with infertility.

His Majesty the Emperor, on the other hand, looked calm.

"I once adopted the three Chen brothers as my adopted sons. Now that they have died out, I hereby allow Empress Mu to raise the three brothers as my legitimate sons."

"Granted the surname: Yang, and conferred titles of King of Benevolence, King of Loyalty, and King of Prosperity."

Chen Huaijin became Yang Huaijin, no longer a prince, but a real prince!

The government and the public were shocked and in an uproar again.

The three brothers of the Chen family and Mu Wanwen are cousins!

How come cousins ​​became mother and son in the blink of an eye? !

Although since ancient times, there have been cases of aunts and nephews entering the palace to serve the emperor together, it is really rare for a cousin to be recognized as a son!
Precisely because of this unique event, an imperial censor died on the spot by hitting his head against a pillar, thus realizing the highest ideal of an official: to die in remonstrance.

Amid the uproar in the hall, only the Emperor, who was sitting at the top, had a calm expression.

"Anyone who thinks that I am unworthy of being a king can follow the example of this loyal minister!"

There was a strong sense of oppression in the cold words.

Everyone knew: His Majesty the Emperor was angry.

The court fell into silence and no one dared to speak.

Seeing that no one followed suit, His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, "I have been in charge of the Pingxi Army for many years, fighting for the country and guarding the border. I have been trusted by the late emperor and have never slacked off since I ascended the throne."

"Now that Prince Ren and Prince Xing are in charge of the Pingxi Army, they have not only quelled the Jiaozhi Rebellion, but have also conquered Daye City in Wa State, expanding our territory for our cause, adding an enclave, and generating a lot of tax revenue..."

"Except for not being born to the Queen, how are their virtues and abilities unworthy of this position?!"

An old prince with white hair and beard stood up and knelt down tremblingly: "No matter how virtuous and capable you are, you cannot confuse the royal bloodline!"

The emperor looked at the old prince who was speaking. His hair and beard were all white, and his fat body was trembling.

He has not attended court for many years, and his descendants are worse than each other. He even has other thoughts.

"Do you want to recommend a more suitable person to be adopted by the queen?"

The old prince was trembling, but his mind was very active: "I have a grandson at home, who is very smart and lively..."

"Oh? How old is your little grandson now?"

"Just turned six."

His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said, "Alright, let's send them in together and have a look."

The old prince was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Now that the door has been opened, His Majesty the Emperor may as well open it wide and allow all royal relatives and relatives who are interested to send in any children they think are suitable.

These people were overjoyed, and in order to prevent the Emperor from changing his mind, they sent their children to the palace in the afternoon.

With so many children, you can always pick out one or two good ones, right?
A new round of competition began. Just as the various royal families were gearing up to come up with their own unique strategies, bad news came out from the palace early the next morning.

One of the candidates for the crown prince fell into the water, and the other two candidates jumped into the water to rescue him. However, after the guards rescued him, two of them had high fever and convulsions, and one was unconscious...

Within half a day, two more candidates for the crown prince were stung by wasps while walking in the back garden and almost died!

Where did the hornets come from in the middle of winter?
It goes without saying that someone must have been plotting against him.

The biological parents of these prince candidates hurriedly took them back for treatment and life-saving treatment, but within a day, something bad happened again.

The remaining candidates for the throne were cautious, not causing trouble or saving people, but they were poisoned again and their lives were in danger...

After the imperial physicians gave them the detoxification, they were so weak that they could not even stand up. They just cried for their mothers and wanted to go home.

Empress Mu Wanwen herself had never given birth to a child, so how could she know how to coax a child? She was in a dilemma.

His Majesty the Emperor had no choice but to send the prince candidates back home.

It was just a farce that died down within a few days, and for a while no one talked about sending the child to the palace.

At this point, these princes and nobles finally realized that what they were sending in was not the future emperor, but their lives.

Those who were sent in as candidates for the crown prince were all the smartest boys in the family. Now they were being tortured to a point where they were half dead and almost dying, and everyone felt a little regretful.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed, and at the last grand court meeting before the New Year, he solemnly announced the end of the group of candidates for the crown prince.

"In the past few days, many candidates for the imperial prince in the harem have suffered physical and mental damage due to various accidents. I feel deeply guilty. After each family takes them back, they can recuperate physically and mentally. There is no need to send them in again..."

Everyone was dumbfounded. They wanted to refuse, but they couldn't say they gave up completely.

I want to change someone, but I'm afraid of being poisoned again...

Finally I had to give up.

Seeing this, the old prince couldn't help but ask, "If it's hard to raise a young child in the palace, an adult one would be fine too?"

The emperor's gentle and gentle demeanor disappeared without a trace, and he asked with a stern face, "How about I give the throne to you, uncle?"

The old prince was so frightened that he fell to his knees and dared not say anything else.

But just as the matter was finished, a report came in: Prince Cheng was seriously ill, and he could not stop thinking about His Majesty the Emperor. He submitted a memorial requesting an audience with the Emperor.

Prince Cheng is Yang Chenghou's uncle and the patriarch of the royal family. He has been loyal to the royal family all his life, and is therefore very popular.

When the royal family heard the news, they guessed that Prince Cheng was thinking that the Emperor was in too embarrassing a situation and was preparing to intervene, and they all felt relieved.

The royal inheritance is saved!
The Yang family’s kingdom will not be taken away by anyone!

How could Yang Chenghou really let the sick Prince Cheng come to the palace to see him in person?

After leaving court, he went to Prince Cheng's Palace on purpose.

The decoration in Prince Cheng's Palace is simple, yet solemn and majestic, fully displaying the royal heritage.

Prince Cheng was really ill, of course, he was not so sick that he could not get out of bed. He said he was seriously ill just to put pressure on Yang Chenghou.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Chenghou entered Prince Cheng's Mansion, Prince Cheng immediately lay down on the bed looking half dead. When Yang Chenghou entered the yard, Prince Cheng was about to die.

Yang Chenghou knew it well, but he didn't want to expose it, so he just told everyone to go back.

When only Prince Cheng and Yang Chenghou were left in the room, Yang Chenghou leaned close to Prince Cheng's ear and said, "Uncle Wang, I know what you are worried about. I will tell you the truth today."

"What...what bottom line?" Prince Cheng shook his gray beard, looking like he was about to die.

"The three Huaixian brothers are all my biological sons." (End of this chapter)
