Lady Wan Guan

Xiao Wang knelt in front of the soul and had just cried bitterly. Now he was very tired and haggard. He was burning paper money with a numb expression, but his heart was uneasy.

His father's death was so sudden that he was caught off guard. He thought he still had enough time to prepare.

Now, he looked around and saw that they were all from King Kang's faction, but there were too few people he could use.

If everyone unanimously opposes his succession, his people may not even have the courage to speak for him.

what to do? He is the prince!

The crown prince who legitimately inherits the throne.

He also remembered that before Concubine Sun fainted, she told him to pretend to be faint and leave Yongshou Hall.

What does Concubine Sun mean by this?

Could it be that if he leaves, everyone will stop discussing the matter of succession?
Without him, wouldn't King Kang's faction become more arrogant?

At this time, Xiao Wang missed the Shangguan family very much. If his in-laws were still the Shangguan family, few people would dare to comment.

"Father..." Prince Kang Xiao Yan on the side cried again.

Crying very sadly.

Xiao Wang felt contempt in his heart. Among the princes, Xiao Yan cried the most sadly, appearing to be the most filial.

Contempt turned to contempt, Xiao Wang was not to be outdone and started to cry.

Both princes cried, and all the officials had no choice but to cry too. They had just finished crying and couldn't rest, but no one dared to complain. Everyone is crying, but if you don't cry, it seems that you are not loyal to the king.

In Hanyuan Hall, Concubine Sun looked cold. She had gone to Yongshou Hall to confirm that the emperor was really out of breath and his body was cold.

Fortunately, the Royal Hospital could not find out the cause of death.

There were slight footsteps, and Concubine Sun raised her eyes. It was Aunt Xiao who was here.

"Isn't the prince coming out yet?"

Aunt Xiao said: "Not yet."

Concubine Sun couldn't help cursing secretly, this waste is more likely to fail than succeed.

She had arranged everything. As long as the prince left the Yongshou Palace, the dragon chair would be his, but this loser was disobedient. If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid her plan will be exposed.

"Send someone to give him a hint."

"Yes."

Xiao Wang cried again and saw the queen, Xiao Yan and Wang Zaizhi went to the side hall.

Could it be that we are going to discuss the inheritance?

Xiao Wang became more and more anxious and looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice understood and stood up and said to go to the hut.

Xiao Wang immediately left the mourning hall.

As soon as I walked out, I saw a palace lady coming towards me carrying tea. The palace lady said: "Your Highness, please have a drink of water!"

Xiao Wang waved his hand, wanting to say no.

The palace lady whispered: "The noble concubine asks your highness to leave this place quickly."

Xiao Wang's heart trembled. This was the second time he heard this.

Could it be that there is a mystery in this Yongshou Palace?
Xiao Wang couldn't help but think of the assassination of Mr. Huang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was repairing the Yongshou Palace. Moreover, his father passed away just after the Yongshou Palace was repaired.

Could it be that Concubine Sun did something in Yongshou Hall?
So he must leave quickly.

The more Xiao Wang thought about it, the more frightened he became, and regardless of the agreement with the Minister of Punishment, he quickened his pace and left Yongshou Hall.

The side hall of Yongshou Hall.

Wang Zai said: "Someone will definitely propose to inherit the throne later. Your Highness, Prince Kang, I have already made arrangements. Just wait for them to speak, and everyone will try their best to push you to ascend the dragon throne."

Xiao Yan said: "It's not time to discuss this matter yet."

Wang Zai said urgently: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. This matter must have an outcome today."

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you give in today, there will be no hope anymore. At that time, the Queen Mother will tell everyone that your father has said before that he will depose the crown prince and make you the crown prince. I wanted to wait until the ceremony of selecting talents is over. Make it public..."

Xiao Yan interrupted his mother and said: "Mother, really, don't mention this matter again. My father can hand over the country to whomever he wants, and all the sons and ministers will listen to his father."

"Silly boy, your father passed away suddenly. He wanted you to inherit the throne." "Your Highness, this matter concerns the entire royal family and the civil and military officials who support you. Do you want to let everyone down? The prince's His virtue and ability are well known to everyone, but his virtue is not worthy of his place. Do you want Da Qi to be defeated at the hands of the prince?" Wang Zaizhi was angry and refused to argue.

Xiao Yan had something he couldn't say. His dear uncle, his father was not dead at all.

"Mother, uncle, please wait patiently, I promise I won't let you down."

At this moment, a guard entered the side hall: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left and gone to Hanyuan Hall."

The Queen snorted coldly: "The prince must have gone to discuss with Concubine Sun."

Xiao Yanxin said, I'm afraid it's not a discussion.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up and get the charter."

Wang Zai insisted: "Your Highness can give way to show his filial piety, but at the critical moment, Your Highness must express his position, otherwise it will chill the hearts of all the officials and it will be difficult to achieve anything."

Xiao Yan raised his hand: "Uncle, there is no need to say anything more, please wait."

Wang Zaizhi and the Empress looked at each other in confusion. Without a posthumous edict and a heir, it was already very difficult to change the throne to King Kang. Unexpectedly, the biggest problem was that King Kang would not cooperate. What should we do?
After waiting for a while, a guard came in: "Your Highness, we've been caught."

Xiao Yan put his hands on his hands and laughed.

Wang Zaizhi and the Queen were at a loss. Why was he laughing? Also, who was arrested?

It seemed like there was something they didn't know about.

Xiao Yan said: "Queen mother, uncle, you will see a wonderful show later."

Xiao Yan said loudly to the void: "Taoist Master Wugou, you can close the net."

An old man with an air of immortality appeared out of nowhere and immediately left the side hall, and Xiao Yan followed.

The faces of the Empress and Wang Zaizhi changed greatly. There was actually someone hiding in this side hall? Then didn’t everyone hear what they just said?

Everyone in the mourning hall felt strange why the prince and Prince Kang had not come back after leaving for such a long time.

The next wail is about to begin.

Yang Xiang was about to ask people to search for it, but he saw King Kang accompanying an old Taoist into the mourning hall.

The old man walked straight to the coffin and put his hand into the coffin.

"No..." everyone said in unison.

Do not disturb the emperor.

Xiao Yan said: "Everyone, please be patient."

Taoist priest Wu Gu reached out and tapped several acupoints on the emperor's body. After a moment, the emperor exhaled, slowly opened his eyes, and sat up slowly.

Everyone was shocked. Was this... a corpse scam?

Eunuch Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and helped the emperor up from the coffin.

"Your Majesty, you are tired."

The emperor didn't look very good, so he hummed and said, "Where is Prince Kang."

"My son is here." Xiao Yan stepped forward.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

"As ordered."

The emperor left Yongshou Hall with the support of Eunuch Zhu and the escort of Taoist Master Wu Gu.

The civil and military officials outside were dumbfounded when they saw the emperor coming out.

Are they dizzy from crying and hallucinating?
Concubine Sun's spy saw this scene and wanted to report the news, but the Yongshou Palace was surrounded by forbidden troops.

Xiao Yan asked everyone to evacuate the mourning hall.

Then the fuse was lit.

There was a bang.

The Yongshou Palace collapsed with a huge explosion.

Xiao Yan looked at the ruins of Yongshou Palace and smiled coldly, Concubine Sun, Xiao Wang, your conspiracy has been exposed and the situation is over.
