"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me." Pei Luoan kowtowed vigorously.
"Take charge?" The emperor chuckled softly. One could tell that he was in a bad mood. After this laugh, he felt a little out of breath and suddenly he started coughing violently.
Li Quan hurried forward to help him sit up a little, patting his back gently, and he finally recovered.
"Father, are you okay?" Pei Luoan took two steps on his knees and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me? It's just an old illness." The emperor finally stopped coughing, took the tea from Li Quan's hand, took a sip, and said.
He had just coughed, and his originally weak voice became even weaker, sounding like he had no strength at all.
Is it true that father’s health has suddenly failed
Pei Luoan was suspicious in his heart. He knew that his father's health had always been poor, but the specific condition was a secret. Even though he was the crown prince, he did not know the emperor's health condition.
The news that the son born to Empress Yuan had died dealt another heavy blow to the emperor. It was said that the emperor was so angry and anxious that he fainted in front of the hall, frightening all the ministers.
"You, the Crown Princess, can make the decision yourself!" The Emperor shook his head, meaning that he had sent him away and was no longer able to deal with his affairs.
"Father!"
"Why? You don't want to?" asked the emperor.
"I dare not!" Pei Luoan replied.
"Okay, go discuss it with your mother and have him deposed!" The emperor closed his eyes and didn't even look at his son, but gave a clear answer.
"Father, please take care of yourself. I will take my leave now." Pei Luoan breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with concern.
The emperor waved his hand weakly.
Pei Luoan stood up and stepped out of the door. He looked back and frowned slightly. Is his father really in trouble
For such a big matter as deposing the Crown Princess, my father only said these two sentences. Although the Crown Princess Ji Hanyue made him nervous at first, but for the current Crown Princess, he only said these two sentences
Although deposing the Crown Princess does not mean deposing the Crown Prince, it is still a big matter and it needs to be discussed carefully. How can it be done as simply as it is now
Is Father really out of strength? So he is powerless to do anything
This idea made Pei Luoan very excited.
He is the crown prince. If his father died suddenly at this time, he would be the emperor in name only. Although Pei Yuanjun is temporarily the regent, it is not a legitimate position after all.
My father has been an emperor since he was a child. He has been an emperor for so many years, so it's almost the same.
While thinking about it, he didn't stop walking. He turned around and walked towards the Queen's Pepper Room. He was still wondering in his heart whether his father's health was okay or not.
"Brother!" A voice came from the opposite side. When I looked up, I saw King Wei Pei Qingmin. He still looked sick and pale.
"Third brother, your health is not good, so just rest more. Why are you going to the palace at this time?" Pei Luoan stopped.
"Brother, you know that I am not well-informed. I only found out now that something happened to my second brother, so I wanted to come and ask him. My second brother is straightforward and kind, how could he do such a thing? It must be a misunderstanding." Pei Qingmin sighed, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his handsome face.
"Third brother, you can't judge a person's heart by his appearance." Pei Luoan reminded him gently.
"That being said, my second brother's personality doesn't suggest he would do such a thing. I want to ask my father to release him first. We can investigate him slowly and talk about it later."
Pei Qingmin still sticks to his point of view.
"Third brother, don't blame me for stopping you. Father is not in good health and has no intention to deal with things right now. If you really want to save your second brother, go find the King of England first."
"Is father in good health?" These words reminded Pei Qingmin. He looked at the palace not far away and asked anxiously.
At first glance, he is a useless sickly person, but Pei Luoan is also glad that the King of Wei is a sickly person, otherwise he would be one of the princes vying for favor.
His position as crown prince was already unstable to begin with, and now with the addition of another person, it is even more unstable.
Fortunately, Pei Qingmin couldn't fight for it, he was just a sick child.
"When you go to see the emperor, don't talk too much about your second brother, so as not to displease the emperor. The emperor has been angry before. You also know that people with poor health should avoid talking about things that worry them." Pei Luoan warned gently.
"Thank you, brother." Pei Qingmin said respectfully.
"What's the point of thanking my brother? I have something else to do. If you want to go see the emperor, go ahead. Remember to be careful and don't make him angry. His body can't stand his anger anymore." Pei Luoan said.
After saying that, he turned around and strode forward.
Pei Qingmin stood there, looking a little hesitant. When Pei Luoan turned to go another way, he glanced at him and saw that he was still standing there. It was obvious that he really didn't know whether to go or not.
What a useless sick guy!
"Leave one person behind to see what happens when King Wei comes out." Pei Luoan whispered to the eunuch beside him. Although he himself could not discover his father's situation, Pei Qingmin might not be able to discover anything.
Pei Qingmin is smart, Pei Luoan has known this since he was a child. When he was young, several brothers studied together, but Pei Qingmin was the smartest and read the most books. Of course, his health was the worst, and he would take leave from time to time due to illness. But even though he always took leave due to illness, he never fell behind in his studies.
He was much better than himself and his second brother. When the teacher talked about Pei Qingmin, all he could do was sigh.
Unfortunately, his health is too poor and I don’t know if he can live to adulthood.
Another point is that Pei Qingmin was a sickly person but also had good medical skills. He would go to his own pharmacy to practice medicine from time to time. Not many people knew about this, but Pei Luoan knew it.
It is also because of this aspect that Pei Luoan feels that Pei Qingmin has no ambition at all.
How come he not only has no ambitious body, but also no ambitious thoughts. He is just indifferent to others, which is good. This is what the royal family needs.
I have just reminded Pei Qingmin that with Pei Qingmin's intelligence, he will definitely test his father after entering. If his father is really not well,
"I understand." The eunuch following him understood what he meant.
Once again, he went to the Pepper Palace to discuss with the Empress, and had the Empress issue an edict to depose the Crown Princess. Although the Emperor agreed to this matter, he was not feeling well at the moment and might not have notified everyone yet. So he simply invited the two prime ministers over and explained the matter to them.
Although the matter of deposing the Crown Princess is a matter of the Eastern Palace, it is also a major event for the family, the country and the world.
After the mother and son discussed it, they sent someone to invite the two prime ministers.
When the two prime ministers heard that the Empress had summoned them, they put down the memorials in their hands and followed the eunuchs to the Pepper Palace.
In the side hall, Pei Yuanjun raised his handsome eyebrows, lazily watching the two prime ministers leave, and curled the corners of his thin lips. As the princess said, the queen and the prince had the intention of deposing the crown princess.
The position of a Crown Princess involves so many things, the Crown Prince and the Queen actually put the position of "Crown Princess" for sale.
If one doesn't work, try another one.
Now that this one is no good and he has been pushed out to ward off disaster, Pei Luoan has become more and more useless. Instead of doing his job properly, he only focuses on the things in the backyard. As the crown prince of a country, he couldn't get out of the commotion in the backyard.
"Your Highness, Prince Wei has gone to visit the Emperor!" Ji Hai walked over quietly and whispered in his ear.
Pei Yuanjun smiled and curled his lips lazily: "The King of Wei is not feeling well and has not been to the palace for a long time. I didn't expect that he can't sit still now!"
"What does the prince mean?" Ji Hai asked in a low voice.
Pei Yuanjun shook the letter and said, "It's meaningless! These things have nothing to do with me."
If the Crown Prince's affairs were not related to the Princess, he would rather watch the show. But now thinking of Mo Ying, Pei Yuanjun felt that he could still lend a hand in this matter.
But when to reach out, you have to choose the right time.
Since his little princess wanted to make the original incident public, he was helping her.
Liu Jingyu went to the Dali Temple.
The Crown Princess of the current dynasty actually went to the Dali Temple, which shocked everyone who heard the news.
Even if the Crown Princess was wrong, it would be the Dali Temple that came to her door. It would be impossible for the Crown Princess to really go to the Dali Temple to respond. As the Crown Princess of a country, her status is there, and no one dares to slack off.
When Qu Minghui went to the Dali Temple to report the case, he didn't expect that the Crown Princess would go there right after he left the Dali Temple.
Later, news came out from the Dali Temple that the Crown Princess had clearly told the Dali Temple Chief that she knew nothing about this matter.
Not only did she not know, she also raised some new questions. When the rumors about Ji Youran's death came out, she suspected that the woman might not be Ji Youran.
But later she asked the maids around her, and they all said that Qu Xuexin was still there, so she didn't take it to heart.
Although she entered the Eastern Palace, she didn't have much time, and then things happened one after another. For a period of time, she was implicated and was confined to the Eastern Palace. This was also the reason why she didn't know that her biological mother, Madam Liu, had an accident. By the time she found out, it was too late. The big mistake had been made and her mother had passed away.
I heard that the Crown Princess shed tears in front of the Dali Temple Minister.
How much injustice must the Crown Princess have suffered to make her cry in public? Thinking about what happened to her after she married into the Eastern Palace, it really makes people feel that she was not favored.
The former was deeply affectionate, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would talk about him whenever he had nothing to do. He even said that he trusted Ji Youran so much because of the intention of the late Crown Princess. Even after the late Crown Princess passed away, he was still thinking about her love, which showed how deeply the Crown Prince loved her. Later, he even entered the bridal chamber of the new Crown Princess, which made people feel that his love was as deep as the sea.
But when the topic falls on Liu Jingyu, people can only sigh.
These are all rumors outside, but what Dali Temple cares more about is what she said. The woman who died in the East Palace Lake was not Ji Youran, could it be Qu Xuexin
This matter had not been mentioned before and no one had any doubts about it. But after the incident of jumping into the lake happened, everyone thought that it was Ji Youran who was at the center of the storm.
After hearing what the Crown Princess said, the Minister of Dali Temple dared not make a decision and hurried to see Prime Minister Chen who had just come out of the palace.
