Tibetan beads

Chapter 532 Confrontation
There was a "bang" in the sky, and thunder exploded.

The Imperial Physician of Donggong was about to insert the needle, when he suddenly said "ah", he backed away as if he had seen a ghost.

Yan Cheng turned his head and frowned: "What are you doing?"

The imperial physician pointed to Emperor Mingde on the bed, his face pale with fright: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Without him saying anything, Yan Cheng saw the unconscious Emperor Mingde slowly sitting up, and several hidden guards came out from nowhere, and quickly restrained the imperial physician.

Several servants who were close to him quickly went over and put on his clothes.

The imperial guards who were ambushing nearby also came out and confronted his imperial guards.

Yan Cheng opened his eyes wide, unable to believe his own eyes: "Father, father...you are not..."

Emperor Mingde took the herbal tea from the servant, took a sip slowly, and took it for him: "I didn't drink the medicine you gave me, why am I still awake, right?"

It took Yan Cheng a long time to find his voice, and asked hoarsely, "You know?"

"Why do you think I don't know?" Emperor Mingde covered his mouth and coughed after finishing speaking.

Yan Cheng couldn't help but feel the anger of being fooled, and shouted: "Then you still drink it?!"

A faint smile floated on Emperor Mingde's face, both self-deprecating and sad: "The medicine you feed, I will naturally drink it for my father, it is for my son."

Yan Cheng couldn't help reaching out and grabbing the skirt of his chest: "You..."

His mind was chaotic, and various emotions were entangled together.He woke up suddenly when the weapons of the guards behind him clashed.

Now that things have come to this point, is there any way out for him?Things have been done, he can only go to the dark one way!
Yan Cheng let out a long breath, and finally stabilized his emotions: "Father is indeed a generation of heroes, and he plotted against your son like this. Are you pretending to be drugged by me just to lure me into the bait?"

Emperor Mingde sighed silently, with a heavy voice: "A Cheng, I have given you many opportunities. If my old injury relapsed, you did not install a cronies; if you knew that you were born deficient, you would be a little grateful to your mother If you didn't secretly attack Xiao Er in the military supply case; if you found out that your uncle confessed to me when he was investigating you; even in the end, you didn't feed me the bowl of medicine... as a father, I can forgive you. "

The more he talked, the more heartbroken he became: "But you have done everything, even going to the palace tonight to force your parents to die! A Cheng, how did you become like this? Listen to greedy words and revenge, you are not at all Remember what your parents taught you?"

Hearing this, the queen couldn't help but shed tears.

Before being invited to Liufangzhai, Xu Yin told her these things.She didn't want to believe it, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't help but believe it.

Yan Cheng's face was hot.He couldn't help but think that his embarrassment in the past few months, the struggle in the past three years, and the pain that he couldn't sleep at night every time, it turned out that everything was being seen by others.So my father just watched me do stupid things like this until the end of the day?

In extreme embarrassment, he went all out.

"Enough!" He shouted with red eyes, "You sound so nice, why have you ever really thought about me? Since I was a child, I have been the most valued on the surface, but in reality? Er sent to the barracks, the foundation of the Yan family is in the army, all your old subordinates are full of praise for Xiao Er, and only have face for me. Do you really care about me?"

Emperor Mingde nodded slowly, unable to explain what was in his heart: "Then according to what you said, how should I treat Xiaoer?"

"Since you chose me as the crown prince, don't you know that he has made great achievements?" Yan Cheng shouted, "You handed him the seal of command, and you plan to let him take charge of the world's soldiers and horses, what about me? Even if I succeed one day, there is no The emperor guarded by soldiers and horses is another former Zhou Dezong!"

Emperor Mingde understood: "You want me to seize Xiaoer's military power, cut off his wings, cut off his hands and feet, and make him a idle king from now on, and live by your winks."

Having said all this, Yan Cheng didn't whitewash it anymore, and said with a sneer, "All the emperors have always been respected by me. If I succeed to the throne, then I will be the emperor, and he is a minister. What's wrong with that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the medicine bowl in Emperor Mingde's hand was thrown towards him suddenly, Yan Cheng couldn't help but took a step back, and the broken porcelain splashed all over the ground at his feet.

"You also know that he has great achievements!" Emperor Mingde was furious, "Half of our Yan family's world was brought down by him! I have no right to take his power, and you want to kill him before you ascend the throne? !"

Yan Cheng was splashed with medicine, wiped his face in embarrassment, and said with a sad smile: "Father, what you said is very reasonable, but have you ever thought about it? The imperial power never makes sense! The merits are overwhelming, what is the next step?" ? Don’t forget where your throne came from!”

This time not only Emperor Mingde, but even the Empress was enraged: "Shut up! Outsiders are fine, you know what kind of person your father is, how can you criticize him so much?"

It's all like this, how could Yan Cheng admit his mistake, he just poked his neck and sneered, as if to say, you really belong together.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Mingde felt that there was no need to say anything.He said over and over again that he didn't want them to be turned into a ruthless emperor's family by the cold Gang Chang, but he didn't listen to them at all.

"That's all." Emperor Mingde didn't want to continue this topic with him, "Tell me how you know, when did Liu Wuniang tell you? I don't think it will be short time?"

Yan Cheng didn't really want to talk about this matter. In front of the queen, he could be justified, but if Emperor Ming De stood on the side of the queen, then his identity would completely lose its justice.

But Emperor Mingde obviously wouldn't follow his wishes: "Let me guess, when we reunited with Liu Wuniang in Beijing, wasn't it the first time you met? That can only be pushed forward. The place where she disappeared One year, you weren’t actually in the capital, but went to Tongyang to find you, right? Xiaoer and I were out fighting, and your mother was doing housework in the mansion, and you got to know her without telling us, right?”

Yan Cheng avoided his gaze and acquiesced.

Emperor Mingde didn't want to be angry anymore, with a tired expression, he said: "I probably guessed what Liu Wuniang said to you, but I can only tell you that these things have nothing to do with your mother. Your biological mother received the marriage decree, and I married your mother later. The Dong family is just an ordinary official family, how can they manipulate the holy will. You said that if she was not guilty, she would not let you take the name of the eldest son, It's an insult to her kindness."

The queen laughed bitterly, and continued: "I want to know why I recognize you? Just tell you the truth, because Sister Liu has saved my life. I have known her in my boudoir and we have been friends for several years. I can't bear her child Become an illegitimate child without a name and a share, so I recognize you."

She paused, and managed to stop her tears: "I really don't understand, why did you become like this, sister Liu is obviously a gentle and kind person, how did you learn to be like that Liu Wuniang?"

After speaking, there was a sound from the palace door.Under the confrontation between the guards on both sides, Xu Yin strode in from the outside with a sword in hand: "Gentle and kind? That's hard to say."
