The beauty of this palace will kill you in minutes

Chapter 182
After attending the funeral of Concubine Chang Gui, Cheng Wang Wei Zan took his family out of Beijing to take office in the fiefdom.

As soon as King Cheng left, only King Hui Wei Wei remained among the princes in Beijing. In the hearts of the courtiers, Wei Wei was the prospective prince.

Emperor Yuanbao did indeed intend to cultivate Wei Tun, and made him take a second post in the Six Departments and be familiar with everything in the Six Departments.

At the end of the year, Emperor Yuanbao's health was not good, and he missed Concubine Chang Gui for a while, so he summoned Princess Changcheng to the palace to speak.

Seeing that Emperor Yuanbao was thinking of Concubine Chang Gui, recalling some benefits of Concubine Chang Gui, Princess Changcheng took the opportunity to say: "Father, don't you feel that the death of Concubine Mother was forced?"

"How to be forced?" Emperor Yuan Bao glared at Princess Changcheng.

"If the concubine mother didn't die at that time, would the emperor punish her? Then punish me and elder brother?" Princess Changcheng choked up and said, "Now that the concubine mother is dead and the elder brother leaves the capital, who will benefit the most?"

Emperor Yuan Bao was very suspicious. Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning.

After Princess Great Wall resigned, Emperor Yuan Bao pondered for a long time before the case.

Cao Hong poured tea and stepped forward, softly said: "Your Majesty, please drink tea!"

Emperor Yuan Bao raised his eyes to look at Cao Hong, feeling a little sad. Although he had no harem, in the end, the only one who was truly loyal to him was the eunuch who had been following him all along.

"Cao Hong, sit down and talk with me!" Yuan Baodi pointed to the front of the case.

"Yes." Cao Hong did not dare to sit down, but knelt before the case.

Emperor Yuan Bao laughed and scolded: "Why are you getting more timid as you get older? You don't even dare to sit down. I remember when I was young, my mother appointed you to serve me. At that time, you not only dared to sit in front of me, but also dared to criticize me. What's wrong!"

"Your Majesty, this old servant was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers and offended the Emperor several times. The Emperor didn't blame him. This is the old slave's luck. Now the emperor's power is too strong, but this old slave is trembling." Cao Hong kowtowed and said, "Old The slave is still on his knees to feel at ease."

Emperor Yuan Bao no longer insisted, and asked: "When I was unconscious, did King Hui wait by the bed every day?"

Cao Hong thought "sigh" in his heart, thinking that it was easy to find out, so he reported: "When the emperor was in a coma, the queen empress was afraid of causing turmoil in the court. At first she only said that the emperor was ill, and King Hui only visited the palace. , and did not leave any sickness behind. Later, King Cheng shouted the wind and rain in the court and suppressed King Hui, so King Hui retreated and began to enter the palace to serve sickness in front of the emperor."

Emperor Yuan Bao stepped forward and asked: "In your opinion, is King Hui sincerely serving the sick, or knowing that I will wake up, he deliberately sells it in front of the bed?"

Is this suspicious of King Hui?Cao Hong said with a look of panic, "I don't dare to speculate, I only know that King Hui is very careful when he is sick."

Emperor Yuanbao said to himself: "In the past, the Chang family only supported King Cheng and wanted King Cheng to be the crown prince. Now, the empress only supports King Hui and wanted King Hui to be the crown prince. It's just that this country belongs to the Wei family. , not from the Chang family, nor from the Zhao family, their hands are stretched too far."

Cao Hong was too frightened to speak, what does the emperor mean by this?Could it be that in his heart, he doesn't want King Hui to be the crown prince?

Emperor Yuan Bao stood up and walked to the window, and said with his hands behind his back: "Cao Hong, in your opinion, when did the empress first choose Hui Wang as the crown prince, and cultivated it?"

"I don't dare to speculate!" Cao Hong trembled.

Emperor Yuanbao said quietly: "Could it be that it started with the fire in Guanghua Temple? When the fire broke out in the temple, people from all sides arrived too fast, and I was always puzzled. And it just so happened that when the fire happened, King Hui appeared in the temple."

Cao Hong's face changed drastically. The only one who knew that the emperor had gone to Guanghua Temple to recuperate was the empress.The emperor suspected that everything was planned by the empress, and was about to start liquidating the empress?
