Adorable Genius: Miracle Physician Concubine Cai Mi

Chapter 296 The Reliance of the Empress Dowager

Prince Ping's eyes turned red, and his heart was filled with unwillingness and anger.

The same is the king, why Ji Wutian Gong Gao Zhenzhu is still high and powerful, even the jade seal can be obtained, but he has to bear it for many years, and it is hard to save a little strength before letting go. In his whole life, he didn't know if he would have the chance to wait for the day when he would stand up.

In his eyes, Ji Wutian is a greater disaster than Ji Wuye, and he must not stay!

Only after he died, the soldiers who had followed him at the border would give up and renew their allegiance to the court and be used by him.

"There is no need for the empress to worry about passing the imperial decree. Even if the emperor cannot wake up, even if there is no jade seal, King Ping can still be enthroned as the new emperor in a legitimate way."

Empress Liu narrowed her eyes, looked coldly at the Empress Dowager who appeared from behind King Ping's men, and looked at the things she held in her hand, her pupils shrank.

That's—an imperial decree! ?

How can it be!

After noticing her gaze, the queen mother deliberately raised the imperial decree in her hand to let her see it more clearly, and deliberately loudly said to Commander Meng and other guards who were also shocked: "This is the imperial decree left by the late emperor. The previous emperor’s preferred successor was King Ping, and the current emperor took away the throne that belonged to King Ping, and now, he should return the throne to King Ping.”

Commander Meng and the others are already in a daze, the imperial decree of the former emperor?There is such a thing?They had never heard of it before.

King Ping also said at the right time: "This king is the emperor of Great Yin. This king advises you to put down your weapons and surrender immediately, and submit to this king. As long as you don't resist, this king will naturally not question you afterwards. You can still continue to live in the palace." Be a bodyguard and protect the king's safety in the future."

The guards guarding the queen and the prince looked at me and you, they all seemed to hesitate, and finally they all looked at Commander Meng.

Commander Meng frowned, "The queen mother said it was the imperial decree left by the former emperor, what proof do you have?"

The Empress Dowager said: "The imperial decree is covered with the seal of the late emperor himself. How could it be fake? If Commander Meng doesn't believe it, he can confirm it himself."

Seeing her calm look, Commander Meng knew that the imperial decree might be true, but he still didn't believe that the former emperor would pass the throne to King Ping. King Ping was not outstanding among the many princes back then. He is narrow-minded, but also very vengeful and cruel.

Although the first emperor was kind to the empress dowager, he would not hand over the foundation of the Great Yin to such a person just because of the empress dowager.

Thinking so, Commander Meng was also very embarrassed.

Without being able to prove the authenticity of the imperial decree, if he rashly attacked King Ping, it would probably be considered disrespectful to the late emperor.

Commander Meng was about to see what the queen and the prince were going to do, but he heard the closed palace door behind them being opened again, and someone came out from inside.

The Empress Dowager and King Heping who were standing opposite them changed their expressions at the same time.

Commander Meng thought of something, turned his head suddenly, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty—!?"

The person who walked out of the palace was Ji Wuye who was injured and unconscious.

He was supported by two strong eunuchs and walked out slowly. Although his face looked pale, his upper body was still wrapped in bandages, and a lot of blood was smeared on the bandages, as if the wound had burst, but his majestic expression was still there. There are sharp eyes, but it does not diminish his aura as an emperor.

Ji Wuye looked at the frightened queen mother with a cold face, and said: "I have said long ago that if the queen mother keeps her own place, I don't mind letting you continue to be honored and raised, but you are plotting to rebel for King Ping, it seems that you can't wait to think about the following I am going to accompany the late emperor."

This is a blatant threat.

The Queen Mother and King Heping were really startled when they saw Ji Wuye at first, but after seeing the obvious serious injuries on her body and her pale face, she felt relieved.

So what if you act dignified?The Ji Wuye in front of him was just at the end of his strength.

The empress dowager was angry and funny, and even put on the airs of the emperor when she was about to die.

Let her be honored?Ever since Ji Wuye came to the throne, she, the queen mother, has been just a decoration. The emperor would not listen to her, and the queen would show her face if she had nothing to do. If she wanted to show the majesty of the queen mother, the emperor would let her recuperate and thank guests behind closed doors.

What's the point of being such a queen mother! ?

What's more, it's not that she doesn't have a son. Her son suffers in the backcountry, but the culprit enjoys the best of everything in Dayin. Why?
"After a hundred years from Ai's family, I will naturally go to see the first emperor, but before that, I must first push King Ping to the throne!" The queen mother said loudly: "If the emperor does not want the queen and the prince to die tragically, then take the initiative to abdicate and let the virtuous, you After snatching the dragon chair that my son was supposed to sit on for so many years, it's time to return it."

"Return?" Ji Wuye sneered, "This country belongs to me in the first place, how did you return it? Just rely on the blank imperial decree in your hand."

"What!?" Commander Meng and the other guards all stared wide-eyed, blank imperial decree?

At this point, Ji Wuye had no intention of continuing to hide it, and explained in front of everyone: "When the late emperor was still in power, during an autumn hunt, he was attacked by an assassin and was almost injured. It was the queen mother who saved the late emperor's life." , because the empress dowager was successful in saving her, the late emperor agreed to fulfill her request, and the empress dowager asked for a blank edict."

"The first emperor didn't agree at first, but after the empress dowager swore that she would not use it to do harm to nature, let alone plan for the crown prince's position, she reluctantly agreed. All the old cabinet ministers who have retired at this time can testify. But now, the Empress Dowager has violated her promise to the late emperor and changed the blank imperial decree into the imperial edict of the late emperor's succession, the last edict."

Ji Wuye mocked: "The queen mother should know that according to the law of my court, if the imperial edict is to take effect, at least three cabinet ministers or clan relatives must be present as witnesses when the edict is issued. I don't know if the queen mother is prepared. ?”

The queen mother was dumbfounded.

Prepare?That is of course impossible.

In the past few years, she has also seen the female family members of the official family in Beijing from time to time, because these female family members know that she and the emperor are not biological mothers and children, and basically no one is willing to stand by her side to help King Ping. It is even more impossible for an important minister who can speak.

But in her opinion, as long as there is an imperial decree, even if there is no witness, no one would dare to deny the seal of the late emperor.

Empress Liu and the prince didn't know that the empress dowager had an imperial decree from the previous emperor, but the empress was Ji Wuye's bedside person after all, and they could vaguely sense that the emperor had tolerated the empress dowager a lot these years, and the empress dowager often behaved Being confident should not be just because of a word of filial piety, but because the queen mother has something to rely on, which can ensure that the emperor will not dare to touch her.

Now it seems that this reliance should be the imperial decree left by the former emperor.

King Ping saw that the Queen Mother was silent, but Commander Meng and the others stood firmly in front of Ji Wuye again because of Ji Wuye's few words, and said unhappily, "It's because the imperial decree of the former emperor is not enough. An imperial decree is enough, and cabinet ministers or clan members, if necessary, can let them enter the palace to prove it later."

In order to prevent Ji Wuye from refusing, he also specially emphasized: "The concubines and children of your harem are now in the hands of this king. Once you refuse, this king will kill them one by one in front of you."

Hearing this, the prince almost couldn't control himself and rushed over to kill him.

If such a cruel and ruthless person really becomes the emperor, he will definitely be a tyrant, and the people of Great Yin do not know how much they will suffer in his hands.

It just so happened that at this time, the faint sound of fighting outside became more and more... The joy on the back of the king became more obvious when he heard it.

"My king's people are about to come in, Ji Wuye, don't make unnecessary struggles anymore, your throne has come to an end." Even fate has come to an end.

"Oh? Really?" Ji Wuye couldn't see any fear or worry on his face, but he couldn't express his composure, "If that's the case, then wait and see."

wait and see?
King Ping looked at him suspiciously, is he pretending to be calm when death is imminent?

Commander Meng and the guards didn't quite understand what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, but the emperor acted so unruffled, of course they couldn't embarrass the emperor, so they all assumed that everything was under control, just following the sound of fighting It was getting closer, but the anxiety in my heart could not be relieved, and the palm holding the weapon was wet with sweat.

"Yan'er." The queen mother subconsciously called King Ping, her eyelids twitched, she always felt that something was wrong, and there was a lingering uneasiness for no reason.

King Ping seemed to be calm. Looking at Ji Wuye's unfailing calmness, he was not without doubts in his heart. It's just that he couldn't turn back when he got to this point. If he failed, he would die. He couldn't show his timidity.

"Don't worry, Empress, I have been planning for many years to finally wait for this day, and I will definitely not fail." The emperor's decree, the hostages, and the people who are about to join them, he has all the advantages, how could he fail!

Even if there were thousands of guards in the palace, if his men killed them all the way from the gate of the palace, most of them would have been killed or injured, so there was nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, King Ping calmed down again.

Just at this time, people from a distance rushed to the imperial palace.

Commander Meng and others subconsciously became vigilant, clenched their swords tightly, and prepared for a bloody battle with King Heping's men.

However, after seeing clearly the appearance of the leader among the group of people, Commander Meng was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of astonishment, and he said, "Ding, Ding Yuanhou?"

"What!?" King Ping was startled, and turned around to look in the direction of the people he thought were his own people, only to find that the clothes of these people were completely different from theirs, and even the people who led the team were not his cronies, but It's the Marquis of Dingyuan, Lu Beichen that Commander Meng was talking about!
Wearing a military uniform, Lu Beichen didn't even look at King Ping. He knelt down on one knee and said to Ji Wuye, "My minister came too late to save me, so I ask the emperor to make amends."

Commander Meng put his heart back into his throat when he heard his words.

He just said it!

Marquis Dingyuan has a good relationship with King Yu. His younger sister heard that Princess Yu is still a good sister, and he is a powerful Marquis himself. How could he be able to enter the job well? However, he couldn't help but follow King Ping to rebel.
