Chapter 220: The aunt who no longer forces her eldest son to make progress

Because of that secret, Zhou Yongli couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep. He was scolded one after another in the court and felt depressed.

However, he was not the only one who was unlucky. His Majesty's temper had become increasingly irritable recently. I heard that even King Huai was reprimanded and scolded for his ulterior motives. After the scolding, His Majesty fainted.

This really caused a shock in the entire court. One of the four brothers above King Huai died, one was burdened by his maternal family and has not been crowned the king yet, one is in poor health and has no legitimate son, and the other has no power due to his maternal family. Not lovable either.

Although some of the remaining younger brothers are outstanding, compared with King Huai, they are not as powerful as him in the court or as favored by His Majesty.

So all this time, even though His Majesty has not named the crown prince, almost half of the people in the court have recognized that King Huai is the one who will succeed him.

But what did King Huai do now to make His Majesty say something with ulterior motives?And even fainted from anger?
If His Majesty is really angry, will King Huai successfully succeed to the throne?At least in terms of etiquette, he is no longer qualified.

If King Huai can no longer succeed to the throne, who can?His Majesty is getting old, and now he fainted due to anger. No one knows whether he can wake up this time.

King Huai has been kneeling outside the Hall of Cultivation of Heart, and the entire palace is worried.

Your Majesty is under the personal care of the Queen. Because of the concubine, not even Concubine De is allowed to enter.

In fact, King Huai himself was confused. Why did he make his father angry?Did he do his recent errands poorly?
Or is it because he did his job so well that his father is now afraid of him?

If you don't yearn for that position, it is impossible. Since you have participated in the competition, there is no way out, and if you don't pass it to yourself, who else can your father pass it to?Who can compete with me?
"Auntie." Seeing the queen coming out, King Huai quickly asked, "How is my father? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"Your Majesty fell asleep, but the doctor is not sure when he will wake up. You should go back to your home first."

Hearing that the imperial doctor found nothing, King Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "My father is not awake, so I dare not go back."

The queen stopped trying to persuade her, and King Huai said again: "Aunt, my father... did your father say anything recently?"

"We will wait until His Majesty wakes up."

King Huai frowned. Could it be that his father really had something to explain before?Then why didn't my aunt tell me?
After the queen returned to the palace, she smashed the vase in anger.

"My lady..."

"go out."

The people in the palace remained silent, only hearing the sound of smashing things coming from the palace one after another.

The Queen's expression was ferocious. She had already informed His Majesty that King Huai and Concubine De were poisoned and murdered. Your Majesty actually protected King Huai and only scolded him twice and refused to hold him accountable. You are really determined to pass the throne to King Huai!

In this case, don't blame her for being cruel. It just happened that this reprimand made it easier for her to act.

If His Majesty really goes, King Huai will be blamed by thousands of people, and the game she has carefully laid out for so many years will go more smoothly.

Concubine De and King Huai, don’t blame me for being cruel. This world belongs to my son. My son sacrificed for this world and for Your Majesty. The throne can only be inherited by my son’s descendants.

Thanks to the Lord of Rongcheng County, otherwise I would not have known that you, mother and son, were so bold and could be caught by me in such a big way.

After an unknown amount of time, the movement in the palace finally stopped, and the maids and eunuchs also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clean up after you come in, Jiang Chuanfu, and send this letter out as usual."

"Yes, ma'am."

The Queen's eyes were deep. His Majesty was getting older and more confused. If she continued to wait, she might really make King Huai the crown prince. She couldn't bet on it.

Anyway, the evidence that was asked to be found before was already complete, and King Huai could not refute it no matter what.In the evening, Song Xia received news from the county prince's palace, asking her to be careful and beware of any changes.

Song Xia was shocked. Could it be that the changes in the previous life were going to be brought forward?This is really uncertain, after all, the medicine Zhou Ying used on Prince Yongan in his previous life was now used on His Majesty by King Huai and Concubine De.

Now that His Majesty has fainted from anger, accidents may happen at any time.

Yuqing is alone in Zhuangzi, will everything be okay?

Song Xia selected a few guards to leave the city, but soon they all returned with nervous expressions.

"Madam, the city gate is sealed and no one is allowed in or out."

"It's not even the curfew yet. It can be seen that something unexpected has happened. Let all the servants close their doors. From now on, no one can leave the house, especially the master and the second young master."

"Yes."

Song Xia also went out of her way to tell Aunt Gao and Aunt Meng that they were coming from a small place and brought Sister Lin with them. If there was any movement, they would inevitably be afraid.

"If they want, they can come to my yard together."

After a while, Aunt Gao and Aunt Meng came with Sister Lin. They had unconditional trust in Song Xia. Although they didn't know what was about to happen, it was always right to follow Madam.

"Don't worry too much, maybe I'm too nervous."

"As long as you follow Madam, I won't be afraid of you."

"Take Sister Lin to bed."

Song Xia looked at the sky, which was getting darker and darker. The conclusion would be tonight.

Although His Royal Highness Prince Ding ascended the throne in the previous life, she was always worried before the outcome of this life came out.

Perhaps because of the close connection between mother and son, Zhou Yuqing wanted to go back to her hometown today, but she couldn't enter the city either.

His expression changed, and he returned to Zhuangzi and ordered everyone to be on guard.

The turmoil probably started at Xu Shi. Next door to the Zhou Mansion was the General Mansion. Song Xia could hear cries from next door in the main courtyard.

Aunt Gao and Aunt Meng were frightened, but seeing Song Xia sitting calmly in her arms, they forced themselves not to panic.

After a while, a servant came to report that Zhou Shuqing was leaving the house and was tied up by Song Xia's order. Liu Fangniang was also tied up. If the old lady hadn't been unable to move or speak, Song Xia would have wanted to be tied up too.

"Song Xia, what are you doing?" Zhou Yongli burst in angrily, pointing at Song Xia and questioning.

At this moment, there was a loud knock on the door, and a soldier's solemn voice came from outside the house: "According to the Queen's decree, we are here to capture the traitor. Open the door quickly."

"Rebel?" Zhou Yongli's face turned pale, and then he thought that they said they were following the Queen's orders. Could it be that His Highness King Huai is about to ascend the throne and they are here to capture Song Xia?
Apart from this, Zhou Yongli couldn't think of the second possibility, so he looked at Song Xia with gloating eyes. Zhou Shuqing and Liu Fangniang had the same idea as him.

"Why don't you untie us quickly? You shameless servants, you will have to change your masters in this house from now on."

Liu Fangniang even laughed loudly: "Song Xia, Song Xia, you still lost after all. It doesn't matter that you are the county lord. It doesn't matter that you have Cheng County Prince's Mansion behind you. When King Huai ascends the throne, you are nothing."

"This..." The servants looked at each other, they did not dare to act without Song Xia's order.
