Uncle, don't overdo it

Chapter 540 The Emperor Dies

"Prince Xuan secretly left Jinyang Palace. Could it be that the prince's obstruction is really related to Prince Xuan?"

Some ministers thought of what Ximen Yin said before.

"If the crown prince returns to the capital, there will be no reason for King Xuan to stay in Jinyang Palace." Someone thought again.

"If the prince is defeated outside the capital, and King Xuan bites back and says that he intends to rebel..." This man's words were even sharper.

Although these people are overwhelmed by King Xuan's prestige, but the prince is the prince, if he is too thoughtful, he will be tolerated, even if his ability is higher than the current emperor, higher than the prince, he is just a minister like them.

If the minister's heart is wrong, they have to put on a righteous posture.

What a bunch of corrupt and mediocre officials, Ximen Yin sneered secretly when he heard the discussion of the crowd, but what he needed were these officials who were completely different from Ximen Jingxuan.

Ximen Yin glanced at the ministers behind him. They were indeed high court officials, but there was no one he wanted to see - Gu Qingcheng.

What a pity, doesn't he care about such a lively event?

It seemed that he hadn't entered the palace for a long time, and spent most of his time in Gu's mansion or wandering in the streets. It seemed that he didn't care whoever was sitting in the palace.

Listening to the discussions of the ministers, Yang Chen's face turned pale slightly. It turns out that these people are so jealous of King Xuan and speculate about King Xuan!

Perhaps this is what the prince once said about being too cold at a high place. On the surface, he stands on the highest place of the crowd, like the stars holding the moon, but in fact he is far away from the crowd.

If the prince doesn't show up at this time...

Soon, the imperial physicians arrived, led by the medical officer of the imperial hospital appointed by Ximen Jingxuan, who was in charge of Ximen Jinglie's illness.

Originally, in private, other imperial physicians had some complaints about this imperial physician Wang, but seeing that the emperor's condition had indeed improved, they gradually stopped saying anything.

Ximen Yin and Concubine He got up and made room for Imperial Physician Wang.

Physician Wang hurriedly checked and rescued Ximen Jinglie.Ask the imperial physician behind him to put silver needles on several important acupuncture points of Ximen Jinglie.

"Ah!" Ximen Jinglie yelled, as if something was stagnant in his throat, and he suddenly felt relieved.

Physician Wang frowned, he knew that the emperor hadn't really woken up, this cry had reached the end of his life.

Ximen Jinglie struggled to get up, but his arms could only be lifted slightly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ximen Yin.

"Royal Father!" Ximen Yin stepped forward, hugging Ximen Jinglie very intimately, making it look like a father and son love.

"You...you..." Ximen Jinglie uttered this note with difficulty.

"My son is here." Ximen Yin said.

"Physician Wang, hurry up and continue the rescue." Someone urged.

Physician Wang sighed helplessly, there was nothing he could do about the patient's reflection.

"You...you..." Ximen Jinglie miraculously raised his arm in front of everyone.

"Your majesty!" Concubine He exclaimed in surprise. The emperor she had seen before could only look at her with eyes open, but now she can move her arms. Could it be that the unconsciousness just now is a sign of improvement?

Ximen Yin and Ximen Jinglie looked at each other, one was anxious, nervous and worried, the other opened his eyes hard and was unwilling to close them.

Ximen Jinglie raised his finger towards Ximen Yin, and suddenly dropped it, his eyes were staring, lost luster, his head drooped on Ximen Yin's body, and there was no more movement.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine He screamed in shock and rushed forward.

Ximen Yin knew that at this moment, the people around him really died.

I really didn't expect that Doctor Wang's golden needle could make people breathe again. It really shocked him. If Ximen Jinglie dared to talk nonsense before dying...

However, there is no need to worry anymore.

"Princess Wang, save father!" Ximen Yin urgently urged.

Physician Wang shook his head, and said to the other two imperial physicians who followed, "You...you...look..."

Seeing this, the other two imperial physicians knew that something was wrong, and one of them took the lead to catch Ximen Jinglie's pulse after listening to Wang imperial physician's words.

"How is the emperor?" Concubine He anxiously asked, the look on the imperial doctor's face made her feel fearful.

Your majesty, please don't worry!

The requirement of "do nothing" is actually very simple, as long as the emperor is still alive, if he is still alive, he is still the emperor, and she is still the imperial concubine, the woman with the highest status in the palace at this time.

She had no chance to stand out because of the empress before, but now it's her turn, so don't let her be the empress.

Concubine He's hopes were useless.

The three imperial physicians in front of them all knelt down and prostrated themselves in front of Ximen Jinglie's bed. The imperial physician Wang led the way and shouted tremblingly, "The emperor is dead!"

With this sound, the Jinyang Palace fell silent for an instant.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of crying and wailing, and all the officials and palace people knelt together, continuing to the outside of the inner hall.

Ximen Yin helped Ximen Jinglie close his unwilling eyes, carefully laid them flat on the bed, and then knelt down in front of the bed.

He knew that Ximen Jinglie pointed at him with wide eyes and wanted to say something, but he didn't have a chance to say it.

Yang Chen's face changed abruptly, and he knelt down dully.

The emperor unexpectedly died in Jinyang Palace controlled by King Xuan at this time, and King Xuan was still missing.

Mrs. Mei didn't expect this either, her face paled in shock, she followed behind Ximen Yin and Concubine He, and knelt down to Ximen Jinglie.

"The emperor's last decree is for the third prince to succeed to the throne."

Many people could clearly see Ximen Jinglie's deathbed appearance, and his whole heart was on the Third Prince.

You didn't think of it, did you?The hatred for me shown before dying has easily fulfilled me.

Ximen Yin stared at the lifeless person lying on the bed, and sneered secretly.Originally, he needed to spend some more means, but now it seems that there is no need for that at all.

He is the heir designated by the late emperor.

"The emperor is back to the west, and King Xuan can't escape the responsibility!" Someone said angrily.

"I've seen the emperor with my own eyes before, he's clearly recovered..." Concubine He broke down in tears.

"The emperor is already able to talk to the slaves, how could it suddenly..." Xiao Guizi was also sobbing and unable to speak.

The emperor he served wholeheartedly is gone?

"The emperor's heart palpitations accelerated and he died suddenly." Doctor Wang explained.

As an imperial doctor, he can't guess with everyone, he can only give the correct result as possible.

It was Ximen Yin's decision to let the emperor die suddenly, he did not directly use a poison that could be detected by others.Although it would be even more detrimental to Ximen Jingxuan, who controls the Jinyang Palace, if the emperor is found to be poisoned, it would also allow people to follow the poison to trace the source of the poison, and it is very likely that the real poisoner will be found in the end.

Therefore, creating the false appearance of sudden death can make people dispel the idea of ​​further investigation, and it can also make people point the finger of dissatisfaction at Ximen Jingxuan, and it can also make him hide better.
