The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 195
The emperor on the sickbed moved so quickly, which was too different from his usual procrastinating and indecisive character.

After the elders were shocked, their first reaction was: Is this imperial decree really issued by the emperor?
When they went to the palace to face the saint the day before yesterday, Emperor Yongjia was in a semi-comatose state, he could only be lifted up by the imperial doctor and fell asleep after talking to them a few words.

They wondered in their hearts, could it be that this "imperial decree" was concocted by Princess Huarong and Xu Heng without the knowledge of the emperor after disposing of the Queen's Palace?
If this is the case, then the situation is very serious!A princess, an eunuch, dared to do such a thing as arbitrarily abolishing the empress, what else would they not dare to do?
The only 13-year-old Princess Huarong... has such a terrible idea?Or, behind her, there is also a potential force supporting her?

Everyone had complicated thoughts, but the time to think about it was very short. Just before Xu Heng read out the imperial decree and had no time to say anything else, several elders surrounded him with solemn expressions.

Xu Heng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already guessed what everyone was suspicious of.

Although he has always been a low-key person, it does not mean that he is stupid or timid, it is just the situation and temperament.But if he didn't have the ability to match this "inner prime minister" status, Yun Ruochen would have persuaded Emperor Yongjia to replace him.Yun Ruochen was very relieved of Xu Heng's ability to handle affairs and his loyalty to the emperor.

"My elders, the emperor invites you all to enter the inner palace immediately to discuss matters."

Before the elders could question him, Xu Heng threw out a sentence, which confused everyone again.

First issued an imperial decree and threw a big bomb saying "Depose the Empress", and then called them into the palace to discuss matters?
Although it is said that the abolition of the empress is theoretically the emperor's "housework", but no one has ever thought so.The Tian family has no personal matters, and the establishment of a concubine has to be approved by all the ministers. How can the empress be abolished so easily?
That is, if ordinary wealthy families want to divorce their wives, they must have a suitable reason, otherwise they will be sued by the wife's family.

The emperor is the son of heaven, and the queen is the mother of the country. If you talk lightly about abolishing the establishment, it will affect the dignity of the royal family at a small level, but at a large scale it will shake the foundation of the country. This is something that cannot be tolerated by the ancestral family law.

There are ancestors and ancestors before, and there are thousands of years of history after.What's the use of these courtiers if the emperor's imperial decree is about to be abolished?

The normal procedure should be to call a few of them to discuss and decide such an important matter in the palace first, and then issue an imperial edict, which will be copied by the cabinet to announce.

Now it's the other way around...

There was a hint of ridicule in the corner of Xu Heng's eyes, but it was only fleeting, and was not noticed by the preoccupied elders.

These so-called pillars of the empire, whose eyes are above the top, are really like what the princess said, they look arrogant, but they are actually very afraid of death.

They were afraid that they and the princess would falsely preach the imperial decree, and then wander them into the palace, and they would be killed on random charges, right?
Hahahaha... It's really interesting, if the emperor doesn't summon them, they will be crying and shouting to go in.The emperor simply summoned them, they were suspicious again.

It was still Gu Ge who made a decisive decision. Without letting everyone discuss anything, he directly said to Xu Heng: "Eunuch Xu, please lead the way."

Xu Heng bowed slightly respectfully, walked ahead with a smile on his face.

Now that the chief assistant had spoken, the rest of the people had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.Some people complained about Gu Ge's recklessness in their hearts. What if...just in case, Xu Heng and the princess set up a dead end, what should they do?
Although according to common sense, they would never dare to do so.But is Princess Huarong someone who can be measured by common sense?
Has there ever been such an arrogant and cruel princess in this dynasty?

Although everyone had never seen what she did yesterday, they could still imagine what it was like.

Those bosses whose plans she ruined really hated her to the bottom of their hearts, and they only thought about how to take this opportunity to get her down.

But in any case, it is a serious matter to pass this level first.

They also often enter the palace on weekdays. Although it is not like today, all the cabinet ministers are present, but the number of times they enter the palace to discuss matters with the emperor is quite a lot.

But the road in the palace that is usually very familiar, I always feel a strange feeling today, and my heart is beating.

It's a sunny spring day, the sky is blue and the wind is light, the peach blossoms, pear blossoms and apricot blossoms in the palace are blooming one after another, and the scenery is beautiful all the way.Why... the more you walk, the more flustered you become?
Ah!
I finally understood that it was because of being too quiet!

There are always palace guards walking around in the palace, and several people go back and forth in groups. Although they can't talk and laugh loudly, there are always voices and shadows.Now, except for their group, no one else's footsteps could be heard at all.

The silence is simply driving people crazy.Could it be... that entering the palace this time was really a conspiracy?

Xu Heng walked unhurriedly ahead without speaking.His silent back made the elders even more stressed.

When they walked into the corridor in front of the emperor's bedroom, they saw the figures of some eunuchs and court ladies.At this time, several people's backs were wet a lot, and they scared themselves!

In fact, they were worrying too much, the palace was quieter than usual, because Yun Ruochen had just issued a ban, asking all the palaces to control their own people, and not to walk around indiscriminately during this extraordinary period.

Now in the palace, Princess Huarong's words are more deterrent than the emperor's imperial decree.disobedient?See those rode bodies?
Those can't be called corpses at all, but meat paste.

When the execution was in front of the Chonghua Palace, all the palaces were forced to send people to watch.This is the most intuitive impact, and no one dares to take chances.

That little princess who always smiles softly and likes to eat delicious food can really kill people.

Therefore, the air in the palace is very tense now, making the elders also tense up.

Fortunately, Mr. Gu Ge is not afraid.

He never worried about what kind of trap Yun Ruochen would set for them.Even if they have different positions and different political views, he still has a high opinion of Yun Ruochen.

The bedroom was filled with a strong smell of herbs, the curtains were lowered, and the light was dim.This is not surprising to them, or they have long been used to it.

His Majesty the Emperor, who has been ill all year round, never sees sunlight in the house all year round, and is always decocting medicine.Because Princess Huarong did not allow the palace people to burn incense in the emperor's residence, saying that the pungent smell was not good for the emperor's health, so only the incense of medicine was left in the palace.

As soon as they were waiting outside the door, the little eunuch turned back to the inner hall to communicate.

After entering the inner hall, everyone couldn't help but relax their footsteps.Behind the screen, there was a faint coughing sound. This voice...it was indeed His Majesty the Emperor they were familiar with.

"Withdraw."

As soon as the soft female voice gave the order, the palace staff quickly folded the four screens and retreated to the two sides.

The emperor, who was lying on the dragon couch and couldn't stop coughing, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.However, what attracted their attention even more was the cold girl sitting on the beautiful pier beside the couch.

Princess Huarong didn't wear makeup, her dress was plain, and she was holding a bowl of decoction in her hand, feeding it into the emperor's mouth spoon by spoon.

No matter how you look at it, this is just a delicate girl who is worrying about her father's condition and serving him with medicine wholeheartedly.

Just by looking at her appearance, who can connect her with such a horrible thing as killing a Baishigong man with a stick?

The elders in the pavilion knelt down to salute, and lay quietly on the ground, not daring to disturb the emperor's medicine.

Severe coughing sounded from time to time, which seemed to be mixed with phlegm.Even those who were thinking about how to deal with Princess Huarong couldn't help thinking about the emperor's condition.The emperor is very ill!

It took a long time before the emperor weakly ordered everyone to flatten.

"How about the emperor's dragon body?"

After all, Mr. Gu Ge had genuine feelings for the emperor, and seeing this situation, he couldn't care less about anything else, so he asked about his condition first.

Emperor Yongjia wanted to speak, but he gasped for breath.Yun Ruochen put his hands behind his back to give him smooth air, but in fact, he was secretly injecting true energy into him, which made his breathing smoother.

"I'm not dead yet."

The hoarse voice actually carried an old breath, not at all like a man who is not yet 40 years old.

The emperor's body was damaged by the disease, and his spirit was extremely poor, but there was a strange brilliance in the eyes that looked at everyone.

"I'm not dead yet, is someone disappointed?"

This sentence was so sharp that the moment the words landed, the atmosphere in the room was instantly frozen, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.

The emperor... never speaks to his subjects like this!
Old Gu Ge was also shocked.

Since Emperor Yongjia was fifteen or sixteen years old, he had served as a lecturer in Prince Jing's Mansion. The two had a deep relationship and once loved each other like father and son.But he couldn't figure out the emperor in front of him.

There was no one to talk to, and I didn't know how to talk to them.

At this time, Yun Ruochen stood up and walked to the elders, watching them calmly.

She was much shorter than them, but she brought an invisible coercion to everyone.This strange feeling... It's just a little girl, why is there such an aura that makes them feel like they can't breathe?

"You elders probably have heard about what happened in the palace yesterday, right?"

Unexpectedly, Princess Huarong would cut to the chase and talk about it directly.Everyone seemed to have found a breakthrough, and hurriedly said, "It's exactly..."

"That's exactly what I'm waiting for!"

"Your majesty, the queen is the mother of a country. If the queen's abolishment is related to the country, how can you be child's play!"

"Although foreign ministers can't talk about the affairs of the harem, your majesty, what happened in the palace now...the ministers can't just sit back and watch."

Although it was Yun Ruochen who asked the question, the elders in the pavilion automatically ignored her, and all spoke to the emperor who was on the sick bed.

Yun Ruochen was not angry, and there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, looking at these people quietly.Elder Gu Ge didn't speak, and was also observing Yun Ruochen.

What is she thinking?
When the room fell silent again, the emperor's voice sounded weakly again.

"The empress was instigated by someone, and even though I was ill, she wanted to move the eldest prince to her palace..."

This is not in the eyes of the eyes, and the elders in the pavilion are about to organize their words to refute, but they heard the emperor say: "I am still alive, there are people who want to snatch the emperor's heir. What's the intention?"

"The person who instigated the queen..."

The emperor had just spoken halfway, and coughed violently again.

"...The person who instigated the queen to snatch the emperor's heir must be plotting rebellion."

rebellion.

As soon as these two words came out, everyone fell silent again.What a big hat!
