Allure of a Country Maiden

The emperor was seriously ill. After receiving the news, Shangguan Xuanhao and the third prince hurriedly entered the palace, while hundreds of civil and military officials stood guard outside Zichen Palace.

If the emperor cannot survive, then today, the world will have to change hands.

Many officials were worried. The fourth prince, the queen's direct descendants, had no idea what he was doing at the moment. The sixth prince's whereabouts were unknown and his life or death was uncertain. The seventh prince was still a child. The only adult prince, the second prince, was a man who only loved medicine and not the country. , in the hearts of all the officials, the second prince was the least suitable to be the emperor's legitimate son.

As for the third prince? The officials who had always supported the direct lineage immediately rejected this idea. The emperor had never loved a concubine, and it was impossible to pass the throne to a concubine. If there was really no one to pass on, they would rather pass the throne to the second prince who was least suitable to be emperor. Pass it on to the third prince.

Why? Because they have always supported the direct lineage, if the bastard counterattacks and rises to power, will they still have a good life in the future?

But the current situation, it seems that either the second prince or the third prince is not what they have been looking forward to, can they not be anxious?

"Why did the emperor's condition deteriorate overnight? Wasn't it fine before?" Shangshu asked strangely. Just in case, before going out, he ordered the palace to lock the door. The situation was really bad. Something is not good.

"The syndrome of partial dryness is like this. It comes violently and suddenly. No one knows when it will attack." The Minister of Rites said.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, has the Emperor issued a posthumous edict?" the Minister of Industry asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either!" The Prime Minister's head hurt. It would be okay if he stood up, but if he didn't stand up, he felt like he could smell a trace of blood and blood at the end of his nose.

"This is really sad!" The Minister of War expressed the sentiments of many people present.

All the officials prayed in their hearts that the emperor must hold on!

At any rate, he waited until the more reliable third and sixth princes came back before closing his eyes.

In the Zichen Palace, the queen hugged the young seventh prince and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Putting a handkerchief soaked in chili water into her eyes, it stung her to death!

The queen's eyes were red, and tears fell drop by drop as she kept blinking.

Although the seventh prince was still a child, he had a mature mind since he was a child and knew that his father was just pretending to be ill. However, when he thought of the sixth prince and the head of Rui'an County falling off a cliff together, his life or death was uncertain, and his mother asked him to cry, he couldn't bear it. Stop crying.

The imperial doctors, starting from the imperial hospital, were taking turns taking the emperor's pulse according to their rank.

Every doctor who stepped forward to check his pulse shook his head.

The Queen Mother was greatly worried and asked the President of the Taiyuan Hospital: "Master Yuanzheng, how is the Emperor doing now?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor's pulse condition is extremely unstable, going in and out, like boiling water in a pot, with no roots at all. The ministers are incompetent and fear that the end is coming." The Imperial Hospital Hospital was filled with grief.

The Queen Mother fainted after hearing this. The Imperial Hospital Hospital rushed forward to check the Queen Mother's pulse. After confirming that the Queen Mother was fine, the Queen sent someone to send the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace.

"Father!" The third prince shouted sadly.

Chang Guiren also burst into tears and cried softly.

Shangguan Xuanhao was the first to step forward to check the emperor's pulse. At this moment, he was sitting aside thoughtfully.

At this time, it was Dr. Lin's turn to step forward and take the pulse. As soon as Dr. Lin put his hand on the emperor's pulse, the emperor suddenly held his hand tightly, as if in pain. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak. Dr. Lin He quickly leaned his head over, blocking everyone's sight.

Everyone saw that the emperor was holding the hand of Imperial Physician Lin tightly, leaning half of his body slightly forward. Physician Lin's ear was leaning against the Emperor's mouth, and the Emperor seemed to be saying something to him.

After a while, the emperor's whole body twitched, and then he collapsed on the bed, and his hands dropped down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away~~~" Dr. Lin knelt down and shouted sadly.

Shangguan Xuanhao, the queen, the third prince, and the seventh prince all quickly ran to the dragon bed.

"Father..."

The others knelt down when they saw this.

When the officials outside Zichen Palace heard this shrill cry, their hearts shook, and they all knelt down in unison.

The third prince screamed again: "Father!"

Imperial Physician Lin wiped away her tears: "Queen, Second Prince, Third Prince, and Seventh Prince, please express my condolences."

The third prince's face was filled with grief. He wiped away his tears and asked, "Mr. Lin, did my father say anything to you before he died?"

Everyone looked at him after hearing this.

What did the emperor say to Dr. Lin before he died?

The emperor's words before his death are so important. They are related to who will be the master of this country in the future!

The queen looked at Doctor Lin with her red eyes.

Shangguan Xuanhao also stared at him closely.

The third prince looked at the emperor on the dragon bed with a sad face.

"The emperor said that he would pass the throne to the third prince." Doctor Lin avoided the eyes of Shangguan Xuanhao and the queen and said.

As soon as Doctor Lin finished speaking, the sound of needle dropping could be heard throughout Zichen Palace.

The doctor from the Imperial Hospital glanced at the Queen and the Second Prince, and then did not dare to take a breath.

The queen was shocked and disbelieving when she heard this. She shouted: "How is this possible!"

Chang Guiren was also busy crying, her eyes were full of disbelief. She glanced timidly at the stunned third queen and her son, but she sneered in her heart!

Shangguan Xuanhao looked at Imperial Physician Lin with burning eyes: "Physician Lin, are you sure you heard correctly?!"

Doctor Lin nodded firmly and said loudly: "I heard you right, the emperor did say that the throne would be passed on to the third prince before he died."

Doctor Lin's voice was heard outside Zichen Palace.

All the officials were shocked when they heard this!

How can this be! How could the emperor give up his direct son and pass the throne to the third prince who was a concubine!

Many officials whispered among themselves.

They all felt that Dr. Lin had secretly changed the emperor's edict.

"You're panicking! How could my father pass the throne to him?" Shangguan Xuanhao shouted sharply.

"I don't dare!" Doctor Lin quickly kowtowed.

"Hmph! What are you so afraid of! Who doesn't know that you and the Third Prince have always been close? Even if my father passes the throne to the Seventh Emperor, there is no way he can pass it on to you! Doctor Lin is definitely panicking!" Shangguan Xuan Hao Leng snorted.

Many officials nodded after hearing this. How could a person with such corrupt moral character as the Third Prince be the master of this country? If he becomes the emperor, won't they have to wipe his neck clean and wait to behead him? !

"Brother Second Emperor, I know you can't believe it, but I am also my father's son. Why can't my father pass the throne to me? My father has told me a long time ago that I have the talents of an emperor. He also said, so He has been so indifferent to me for many years, not because he doesn’t love me, but because he wants to protect me!”

"Your Majesty, wuwu... I misunderstood you, I deserve to die..." Chang Guiren cried out in cooperation.

When the third prince said these words, a large group of people were shocked again.
