"Let's wait until the poison is cured." The eldest prince looked at Murong Jie with a lot of emotion in his heart. He has always been friendly to his younger brothers, but this time he didn't dare to agree to Murong Jie's request easily.
"Father..." Murong Jie's face was full of worry. No one understood his panic better than him. He was not only worried about his father's health. After the imperial edict from the crown prince came out, he was a little worried that his father's poison was related to his mother.
Others may not understand his mother's paranoia, but he knows it best.
"Father will get better. The Ruyi Bottle is definitely not famous in vain." After the eldest prince finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Murong Kai. Compared with the other princes who looked worried, he was the only calm person besides himself.
The eldest prince's words made Murong Jie's face even paler. He shouldn't have said such words to his eldest brother just now. He was just too scared and ignored the biggest possibility, that his father would get better.
"Fourth brother, you still need to persuade your mother. Sometimes, making a mistake can cost one's life."
Murong Kai naturally heard what his eldest brother and Murong Jie said. He was more confident than the eldest prince that his father's poison could be controlled. He was calmer than others and considered things more comprehensively. When he saw the queen walking out of the bedroom with a gloomy face, he guessed that their father should have woken up.
He knew his mother's feelings for his father best, and she would never walk away without knowing whether his father was alive or dead.
Therefore, the matter has already come to an end. Now, it all depends on what choice the Fourth Prince and Mrs. Dong make.
"Third brother, mother..." Murong Jie instinctively wanted to defend Concubine Dong, but after he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say. He wanted to say that his mother was kind-hearted, and that his mother was just a little spoiled. But who would kill a young man with a kind-hearted character? And who would even manipulate the crown prince
"That's her business, just do your best." Although Murong Kai didn't like Dong, he still felt sorry for his younger brother. Although he was spoiled by Dong, he was still able to distinguish between good and evil and right and wrong.
"Third brother, I..." Murong Jie didn't understand why Murong Kai said such a thing, but the panic in his heart became even greater as he spoke. He hoped that Murong Kai could explain his words, but he said nothing.
"Go." When Murong Jie was at a loss, the eldest prince came over, patted him on the shoulder and advised him solemnly.
Murong Jie looked at the two royal brothers in front of him who had always been very friendly to him, and finally nodded and ran towards the Qingliang Palace.
"The imperial decree to appoint a crown prince has been issued, but my brother doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all."
"Well, why are you in such a hurry? I believe that the Ruyi Bottle can relieve the poison in my father's body. I also believe that the civil and military officials in the court will not let my father be controlled by a woman."
"Aren't you afraid that something might happen to your father? The imperial edict..."
"Why aren't you afraid, Third Brother?"
Murong Kai looked at his brother and suddenly smiled.
Yes, no matter how the Empress Dowager indulges my father, she will not allow him to do whatever he wants with the country. Even with my father's imperial decree, Murong Jie cannot ascend the throne as long as the Empress Dowager disagrees.
The Empress Dowager is their biggest bargaining chip.
Murong Kai has been deeply cared for by the Grand Empress Dowager for many years, so he naturally knows that what she cares about is the eldest prince. He remained calm in the face of danger and was just as the Grand Empress Dowager said, a suitable crown prince and would also be a good emperor.
"Then Third Brother, wait here for news from Father. I will deal with the imperial edict first."
At this moment, the two had already made up their minds and naturally had to fight together. The eldest prince glanced at Murong Kai's legs and whispered an order.
"According to the ancestral system, every imperial edict of our father has a backup. You can check it out, brother." Murong Kai kindly reminded the eldest prince, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Do you suspect that this imperial edict is fake?"
"No, I just think that my father is not so crazy as to give our Murong family's kingdom to the Dong family."
