Chapter 243: Wen Mingzhu went crazy after learning that the fifth prince had ascended the throne

Emperor Dasheng turned his head and saw his most outstanding son kneeling down in front of his desk.

The fifth prince cried out in grief and sorrow, "Father, didn't the imperial physician say that your health has improved? Please don't leave mother and me. Mother can't survive without you..."

Emperor Dasheng's heart twitched when he heard this. He knew very well that the person he loved would not let him die alone.

He lovingly reached out his hand and helped his son up to sit beside him. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "I... am fine now."

The Fifth Prince was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked up at the still pale face of Emperor Dasheng.

With a trembling voice, he asked, "Father, what do you mean by that? I see that you look very pale!"

Emperor Dasheng sighed helplessly and said, "Yier, your brother the Crown Prince was stripped of his title, and your third brother died tragically. You must explain these things to the ministers.

Although your second and fourth brothers are not interested in my throne, they have maternal ancestors, and many important officials in the court are their relatives by marriage.

Yier, people's hearts are hard to predict. If you don't handle it properly, you will be unable to move even if you sit on the throne."

"Father..."

"Yier, your father has experienced it himself, and I don't want you to go through his pain again.

All you need to know is that your father was so angry with the crown prince that he was bedridden, and he has not much time left to rest in the palace.

You don't need to worry too much. I just feel that I have let you and your two children down for most of my life.

Now that you have grown up and are able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of our great prosperity, you must work diligently, love the people, and keep your eyes open to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

Let the Zhao family sit firmly on the throne for another two hundred years, so that I can live up to the Zhao ancestors.

Yier, don't worry, as long as you govern Dasheng well with all your heart, your mother and I will surely live a long life.

Jiangshan and the Seventh Princess are now in your care. Yan'er can only grow up safely without my favor, but her personality has already...

Hey! Yier, after you ascend the throne, Yaner's mentality will definitely change a lot, so you should pay more attention to your seventh sister. "

"Please rest assured, father. I will protect Yan'er." The Fifth Prince felt that his sister was just a little timid and there was nothing wrong with her.

But he didn't know that a princess who had been unpopular for many years would suddenly soar to the top, and her mentality would explode, which would make him more tired than handling state affairs!
Xiao Jin knew nothing about the conversation between the Emperor and the Fifth Prince. He hurried back to the mansion to see that nothing had happened.

He went straight to his yard. Wen Qingwan just came out after washing up. "Husband..."

"Wanwan, you must be tired. Lie down and rest first. I'll go wash up." Xiao Jin was covered in dust and didn't dare to go forward to hug her.

Wen Qingwan felt very distressed when she saw the man restraining himself: "My husband, you have worked hard. Go and wash up. I will wait for you to come back."

"Okay!" Xiao Jin turned around and saw her, a happy smile flashed across his eyes: "Wanwan is so nice, then your husband will go wash up now."

Wen Qingwan watched his leaving back, then walked to the table and filled half a cup of spiritual spring water with her mind.

Xiao Jin has not rested since he returned home yesterday. He went to court at dawn and has been accompanying the guests since he came back.

He was summoned to the palace to discuss matters after dark, so he must be exhausted by now. She had to let him drink some spiritual spring water to replenish his strength.

Xiao Jin came out quickly and saw his wife sitting at the table, looking at him lovingly with her beautiful eyes.

His heart warmed, and he walked towards her and stretched out his hands: "Wanwan, come here, let's..."

"Husband, drink a glass of water first." Wen Qingwan handed the water to Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin didn't know whether he was really thirsty or just didn't want to disappoint his wife.

Without thinking, he took Wen Qingwan's hand and drank most of the cup of spiritual spring water. He took the cup from her hand and gently placed it on the table.

Then he put his arms around her slender waist, buried his face in her neck and sniffed her delicate fragrance. He said in a hoarse voice: "Wanwan is so beautiful that I can't bear to leave you. Now let's continue what we did last night..."

Wen Qingwan leaned shyly on her husband's chest: "You haven't slept for a whole day and night."

"Seeing you, I'm not sleepy at all. Let's sleep together." Wen Qingwan felt his burning gaze.

It was as if he wanted to tear her apart and swallow her. Thinking of his ferocity, Wen Qingwan blushed.

Xiao Jin saw his wife looking at him with misty eyes, her eyes were seductive and charming.

He hugged her and rolled onto the big bed, lowered his head and kissed her lips, rubbing them tenderly for a while and then slowly deepened the kiss...

Early morning the next day.

The civil and military officials saw the pale emperor being supported by two eunuchs sitting on the dragon throne, as if he was about to die at any time.

Everyone knew that the emperor was hit hard by the prince, and some ministers originally wanted to persuade the emperor to calm down.

Because they also heard that the Third Prince had forcibly abducted Concubine Wen, it was understandable that the Crown Prince failed in his anger.

After the matter was investigated thoroughly, the ministers who wanted to persuade the emperor not to depose the prince did not dare to say anything.

Duke Su was unwilling to see the crown prince, whom he had spent more than 20 years supporting and almost drained the Su family's wealth, being imprisoned in the clan house.

Today, he used up a lot of favors and asked the Crown Prince and Concubine Wen to come to the morning court in order to put all the blame on Concubine Wen.

But seeing that the emperor was so angry, he didn't want to say anything to provoke him.

The emperor half-closed his eyes and looked at the civil and military officials in the hall, as well as the prince who was wearing the clothes of the clan house.

Emperor Dasheng secretly thanked himself for his good health and clear mind.

It is natural for the crown prince to inherit the throne, but it is not easy to depose the crown prince and replace him with the fifth prince.

Emperor Dasheng knew that this meant endless pressure and responsibility. However, looking at the attitudes of the officials and the young and promising Yier, he knew that his choice was correct.

Fortunately, I thought of this best of both worlds solution, which would neither bring disgrace to Yier nor cause resistance from the ministers.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and couldn't stop coughing, it looked like his lungs were about to burst.

The Fifth Prince, who knew the truth, was heartbroken, let alone the civil and military officials and the Crown Prince who were unaware of the situation.

Among all the people present, only Xiao Jin was not worried because he knew how good his wife's medicine was.

Although he didn't know what the emperor meant by doing this, he would not stand up and expose it.

The emperor saw that the atmosphere was almost set, "Ahem... Ahem... I... have the most unsatisfactory feelings in my life. My dear ministers, please assist the Fifth Prince."

Then, the eunuch beside the emperor loudly announced: "The Emperor proclaims:

Crown Prince Zhao Jue suddenly went mad and killed my three sons. I was already weak, and I became even more anxious and sleepless when I heard about this.

I worry about the safety of our country day and night. Your health is not good and you have suffered such a blow. I am afraid you will not live long.

I have decided to depose the eldest son as crown prince and appoint the fifth prince as crown prince. He will ascend the throne in three days and marry Xie Wanhua, the daughter of the Xie family, as queen the next day.

In ten days, I will marry Fan Yuxuan, the daughter of the Fan family, as my imperial concubine. I hope that my fifth son Zhao Yi will love the people like his own children. My lord..."

The eunuch read the emperor's edict aloud, and the entire hall fell into silence.

Suddenly, a sharp voice came out: "No, Zhao Jue should be the emperor, and I am the queen."
