Chapter 826: Puppet, no value
The huge palace was silent for a moment, and Imperial Concubine Zhou seemed to be pinned down, and she couldn\'t even cry.
Everyone present understood the unfinished meaning of Imperial Doctor Qin\'s words. If it was normal, they would be happy when they learned that the Emperor was not well.
If the emperor was not well, the throne will be vacated, and only those who were princes will have a chance to take the throne.
But now?
Prince Xiao\'s army has broken into the city, the Emperor was not well at this time, what should they do?
"What should we do? What should we do? Your Majesty…you are so cruel, what do you want your concubine to do!" Imperial Concubine Zhou regained her senses and lay on the emperor, crying even more sadly.
She was really sad.
"Imperial Doctor Qin, imperial father, he…" The Crown Prince asked, trembling. His eyes flickered, and it was difficult to distinguish between joy and sorrow.
Now he doesn\'t know whether to be happy or sad. The Emperor had disliked him a long time ago. According to his situation, even if there was no rebellion, he would not be able to sit on the throne.
Now that the emperor was ill, although Prince Xiao and Lin Chujiu hated him, he was the legitimate crown prince after all. If Prince Xiao Wang wanted to be infamous, he might be able to make himself an emperor. Even if he just becomes a puppet emperor, he doesn\'t care.
"Your Highness, His Majesty, His Majesty…I\'m afraid he won\'t get better." Imperial Doctor Qin was more worried about the Emperor than everyone present. He was the Emperor\'s confidant. If the Emperor falls, he will have no good end.
"Imperial Doctor Qin, why is this happening? Isn\'t the emperor\'s health always good?" Xiao Zian may be the only one among the princes who were really worried about the life and death of the Emperor.
"The emperor has been suffering from headaches all the time, and it is not appropriate to get angry. Recently, the attacks have been frequent. I have tried many methods, but cannot control the emperor\'s illness. This time, what happened to Xiao Wangye aroused the emperor\'s anger, so that…" Imperial Doctor Qin said and sighed heavily. He didn\'t go any further.
Everyone was smart and knows what Imperial Doctor Qin meant, but now no one dares to speak out about the situation. Even if he was stupid, the crown prince dare not shout: "Xiao Wangye made the emperor unconscious."
When everyone was silent, the palace guard rushed in and shouted in panic: "It\'s not good, it\'s not good, Xiao Wangye has brought people into the palace, and it\'s only a few hundred meters away from the palace gate."
"What? Xiao Wangye is coming?"
"Xiao Wangye is here, and he brought troops into the palace. What is he going to do?"
"Xiao Wangye is here, what should we do? What should we do?"
As soon as Imperial Concubine Zhou and the crown prince heard the news, they shouted in fright. Although Xiao Zian and the eldest prince didn\'t say anything, their expressions were very ugly.
Only the Empress and the Seventh Prince looked calm. Like outsiders, they stood far away from the Emperor in the hall, watching the others cry and shout coldly.
"Xiao Wangye led troops into the palace, will he kill us?" Imperial Concubine Zhou couldn\'t help trembling when she thought of the terrible consequences: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty…you wake up, Xiao Wangye led troops into the palace! Ahh, what are we going to do!"
"Father, Father, wake up!" Although the crown prince was dreaming that Prince Xiao will make him the puppet emperor, he was afraid when he heard the words of Imperial Concubine Zhou.
Back then, he almost killed Lin Chujiu, would his Imperial Uncle let him go?
He has many brothers, and even if Prince Xiao wants to establish a puppet emperor, it may not be his turn.
Again, when people were useless, they were not even qualified to be used by others.
The crisis was an opportunity. For the crown prince and Imperial Concubine Zhou, it was a crisis for Prince Xiao to bring troops into the palace, because after Prince Xiao takes power, they will definitely not be able to guarantee their current life and status, but for the eldest prince, this was indeed an opportunity.
The Eldest Prince saw that the Empress was silent, the third prince was only concerned about the emperor\'s condition, and Imperial Concubine Zhou has no clue like the crown prince. He knew in his heart that his chance has come.
"Father, I will never let Xiao Wangye bring troops into the palace, so I will go and gather troops to resist him together!" This was the best time to seize military power, and he doesn\'t want to miss it.
No matter who was in power in the end, as long as he has military power in his hands, he will be safe.
After the eldest prince finished speaking, he turned around and was about to run out. However, the Crown Prince was not stupid. He immediately reacted and blocked the eldest prince\'s way: "Ziwen, I am the crown prince, so leave this matter to me." Even if it was Prince Xiao, he cannot kill him casually. If it was impossible to win, he will escape from the city with his soldiers and horses. Maybe he could meet reinforcements and come back.
"Zian, Zi\'an… Hurry up, go find your eldest uncle and let him lead the troops into the palace." No one was stupid, the crown prince can react, but also Imperial Concubine Zhou.
Prince Xiao was not a foreigner, he was also from a royal family. Even if Prince Xiao ascends the throne in the future, he will not be able to kill all the ministers of the East. If they have military power in their hands, at least they can compete with Prince Xiao.
Although they don\'t have many soldiers and horses in the capital, there were tens of thousands of soldiers if added. With these tens of thousands of people in hand, coupled with the status of her son as a prince, it was not impossible to make a comeback.
The Crown Prince, Prince Wen, and Imperial Concubine Zhou all saw the opportunity, and the three of them fought each other, but they were all one step too late!
The Empress, who had always been an outsider, saw the three of them fighting, and immediately scolded: "Stop it all, and see what you look like!"
"Emp, empress!" Although the Emperor doesn\'t like the empress, the empress\'s coercion was still very heavy. Once the Empress gets angry, even the noble Imperial Concubine Zhou will be timid, so she obediently stops.
Of course, she just can\'t stop like this. After all, she was no match for the Crown Prince and Prince Wen as a woman.
The eldest prince, Prince Wang, was a martial art master. It was easy for him to fight two against one. However, the Crown Prince and Imperial Concubine Zhou could not. So he arranged his clothes slightly and said bluntly: "Imperial Mother, Xiao Wangye\'s soldiers, and horses are about to enter the palace. Please allow this son to gather troops to resist the Jinwuwei Army."
After finishing speaking, whether the Empress answer yet, he turned around and was about to leave, but just after taking two steps, he heard the Empress order: "Stop him!"
*Dong dong dong* The palace guards outside the door ran in wearing heavy armor and blocked Prince Wen: "His Royal Highness, please stay."
"Empress, what do you mean?" Prince Wen\'s face changed slightly, with a faint premonition.
Could it be that the palace has fallen into the Empress\'s hands?
"Before the emperor fell into a coma, he had entrusted all affairs to this empress. All affairs except the government affairs will be handled by me." The Empress held the hand of the seventh prince and walked to the throne and sat down: "Every one of you now can\'t leave the palace."
"You, what do you mean? The Emperor can\'t entrust the matter to you and let you decide." Imperial Concubine Zhou was the first to not believe it. She was the emperor\'s bedside person, and she knew the emperor\'s attitude towards the empress better than anyone else.
The emperor respects the empress, even a little afraid of her, but he will never trust the Empress and give her the right to decide… …
